honor In Ely, Tuesday night, as 1912
passed into history. and the New
Year came In TO assume the respon-
sibilitles for the twelve months To

the town. and streets, restaurants and
cafes presented scenes OF jollity and
good cheer. II anyone retired before
midnight with the intention of sleep
ing through the transit of the por-
tentious months. the idea was an H.
lusion. for promptly on the stroke of
midnight. every whistle in Ely gave
voice to the fact that the moment had
arrived when Happy New Year was
a reality. The engineers on every To-
comotiye within the confines of the
East Ely yards and Murry street. and
then some. gave full license to their
brazen signals. and for many min
utes the steam voices sang In loud
dlapason that echoed far among the
erags and across the plains of the
steptoe.
Some OF the sleepy heads devoid
Of sentiment and who had gone TO
bed. rudely awakened b. the ealiopic
tones. jumped up with visions of fire
and disaster. but by the time the
slumber oobwebs had cleared from
their brains they realized that IL was

which the whistles were blowing. and
that New Year resolutions were In
order
Every place where eatables and
drinkabies We're dispensed was filled
with jewellers. and for the time be-

Such was the motto on the

the guests OF Moller's Cafe on New
Years eve to bid avaunt to the petty
cares OF 1919.
Fun and feasting commenced at
the last hour OF December and con-
tinued into the early hours OF morn

WOMAN CHARGED WITH
WHITE SLAVERY

Edith Little, bound for Ely, did
not reach here, because Salt Lake
City federal authorities who have
been on her trail for the past six
weeks beat her to it, and arrested
1 Edith as she stepped from an Oregon

the county jail at Salt Lake City in
default of $4,000 bail.
AS the story goes the young wo-
man was indicted November 81,
Jointly with c. C. George, alias
Clarence Franklin, who was recently
arrested in Colorado, and placed in
the local Jail in default of $4,000
bail
The specific cnarge against the two
is that of enticing Gladys Hartman,
young woman living in Salt Lake,
to leave the city and come to Ely, on
the oath day of April 1912. 1t is fur
ther charged that the respondents
also paid the Hartman woman's fare,
from Salt Lake here.
According to the authorities in
the Lake City, the search for Edith
Little has extended as far as Leth-
bridge, Alberta, which point she re-
Gently left for Ely, via Salt Lake. The
Lethbridge authorities notified Mar
shal Anderson of Salt Lake. and
bench warrant for Edith's arrest was
issued by Judge John A. Marshal
Her presence in Lethbridge has been
known to the officials in the states,
but it was not desired to cause her
arrest there, because such action
would have necessitated extradition
proceedings.

FIFTY-FIVE CHASE RABBITS.

While the number that took in the
White Pine Rod and Gun club rabbit
hunt, last Sunday, was not so large
as anticipated, the event was quite a
success as to the number of rabits
bagged by those who did go. The
special train for Dolly Warden car
ried 80 passengers, including five
MeGil and of the number 40 were
gunners. The rabbits proved plenti-
full and the total killed was around
450, or an average of eleven and one
quarter apiece. James S. Bennett
brought in the only cotton tail. An
other hunt is being talked of.

Tomorrow will ring the changes At
the White Pine county court house,
as the result of the recent election.
The changes are not many, as the
majority of the officers elected to the
county officers are hold-oyers from
a previous election. and in several
Instances from several previous elee-
tions, which may be taken as eyi-
dence that the voters have been
pretty well satisfied with the services
of the ineumbents. On the board OF
county commissioners there are two
new members. two Democrats at the
November election defeating two Re-
publicans, making the present board
solidly Democratic. On the other
hand the Democratic county recorder
and auditor will be succeeded by a
Republican. while a Republican dis
trlet attorney will succeed a Demo-
erat, making honors about even
along political lines.

denee that on the second day of Jan

nearer as result of the great sums of money
that have been expended in this work And to
the extent that the evangelistic work has beon
weakened to furnish the men and money for this
work, it has been positive hindrance.
Our colleges have failed to give us the
trained ministry we had right to expect from
so great an investment Their graduates are
lured into secular callings by the much larger
emoluments offered thcre. A missionary in
Central China Mission wrote me few days ago
that there is not single native preacher in that
Mission who is a product of Mission schools,
yet those schools have cost Southern Baptists
many thousands of dollars a year to maintain.
Practically all the preachers connected with our
work in China have only the old Chinese Ccrfu-
clan education and Bible raining that has been
given in seminariCs.
On the contrary, the tendency of our higher
educational work has been to educate the students
away from the churches. Just rs the kind of
education that was given to the freed negroes
after the war by enthusiastic but misguided
Northerners took the negro away from farm and
shop and made him "too smart to work. so our
Western learning is weaving the children Of
Christians away from the churches and they are
unwilling to live simply their fathers and
to accept the salaries that our churches and mis-

In the meanwhile, I have invited Captain

got no reply. Apparently, the greatest efforts
were made to hush up the crime. That's the
Romanist way.
So far as we can learn, the imprisonment
of the girl was absolutely illegal. She was
not even accused of any wrongdoing

the girls father, had remarked; and her
second husband is Protestant.
Under Popish law, this second marriage
was null and void.

''Tlle Regular Baptist'' Publishes
The McCrea Letters.

4 T Nashville, Tenn, Bro w. W. Mullens
publishes a monthly magazine named
The Regular Baptist.
In his September issue, he gives his read
ers the "Open Letters to Southern Baptists,"
addressed by the foreign missionary, Rev. T.
f. McCrea to his brethren here at home.
The Christian Index does not love these
McCea letters. | fear that Brothers r. j.
Willingham and William H. Smith, of our
high priced Richmond Board do not love
these McCrea letters as they should.
Bro. McCrea is situated at Chefoo, China,
and he has been laborer in that unsatis-
factory vineyard 10! these many moons. In
spite of the fact that he is snugly on the pay
roll, with no personal complaints to make, he
lifts up his voice against the present meth
DDS of mission work
He charges
(1) That too much money is being spent
in running schools to educate Chinese child
rem. He says that two-thirds of the mission
funds of the Southern Baptist go to this
educational work
make enough Christians to justify the
expense.
Now listen!
Bro. McCrea says that the present methods
'put a premium upon deceit"
"The willy Oriental does not hesitate to for
swear himself for the advantage of getting
fine education at the expense of the foreigner,
especially aohen even books and board are
Furnished, as IS the case IN naany mission

in captivity. She was made desperate by her
wrongs and her suferings.
Trying to escape from the window of the
third story Of her jail, she fell, and was
killed.
The Romanist keepers of that illegal
prison, refuse to make any statement.
The Romanist local boss, Monsignor Rus
sell, preached a sermon denouncing the Pro
testants who wanted an investigation of this
girls arrest, incarceration and tragic death
Priest Russell called on all true Catholics
to stand by the hell-hole, and to resist the
investigation.
And the Protestants have been scared into
silence and submission.
At first they made a great cutlery, wrote
cards for the papers, demanded their lawful
rights, condemned the horrible mistreatment
of this humble family, and the untimely
death of the Protestant girl.
But all that has died out. There will not
be any investigation. Nobody will be asked,
in court, hoao cG1ec that Rsere Protestant girl
IN the hezz-hoze aohich IS pretemdedly built for
the reczainaing Of prostitutes?
My countrymen! Suppose that pure lit
tie girl had been snatched by Protestant Off
GERS from a Catholic home and a Catholic
mother, and had been hidden away in Pro
testant refuge for Whores-and had lost her
young life In the attempt to get away from
the company of these lewd women!
Wouldn't the whole country ring with
Romanist bowls of rage?
Had Catholic girl Of Is years been lille
gally kidnapped, hurried into a Protestant
jail, kept in secret with low-down sweepings
of the slums, and had been so maddened by
these wrongs that she risked and lost her life
in the effort to regain her hberty-had this
happened to O. Catholic girl, we Protestants
never wOu1d have been ah1n tO facn the indiU-
nation of right thinking public.
But when the damnable Romanist priests
kidnap Protestant girl, fling her among the
slum-sluts, and drive her to her death, it is
all hushed up.
Nothing is done
The hell-hole and its keepers are not even
investigated.
Priest Russell says it shall not be done, and
the Protestants cringe to his lash.
