Does God Care When Man Suffers?

The recent disasters, by wind, fire
and flood, together with the untold
suffering and heart-rending scenes in
volved, naturally cause us to Won
der whether God really cares how
much His creatures suffer. Some
say that God is not able to pevent
such calamities, others say that He
causes them, others say that He
could prevent them but has no spe-
cial interest in the matter either
one way or the other, others say that
He has nothing to do with it, and
still others say that there is no God
at all. or He could not see His Great
ures suffer so without trying to pre-
vent it.
The citizens of our town will be
given a free public address on this
interesting subject Sunday, at three
p. M, in the Arcanum hall, Miller
building, large turnout is expected.

man said there were grave doubts
whether the board could do this as

Who Sunk Cabin SO Feet in Earth

Meeker-While drilling for water Oh
his Axial Basin ranch, j. M. Hulett, 1
cattleman who owns practically all OF
the Axial Basin country, struck, at
depth of fifty feet, what had evidently
been a log cabin at one time. Por-
tions of cottonwood logs were raised
with scraps of glass, etc. The latter
had evidently formed portion of the
structures window panes. Bones to
the depth of 100 feet have frequently
been unearthed in this country, but
find of this nature is more than re-
markable. Axial Basin is all wash
country, and it is evident that at one
time, perhaps hundreds of years ago,
the surface of the basin was just fifty
feet lower than it is at present. In
addition to the finding of the cabin.
the drills also came in contact with
what had evidently been lake of con-
siderable size.
