Many People Converted.

(From The Bismarck Gazette.)
The Burke and Hobbs revival con-
tinues here with increasing volume
and power at every service. Evan
gelists Burke and Hobbs have COM
pletely won the hearts of the entire
town and community.
More than 100 souls have been saw
ed to date, and only eternity can tell
the good that has been done for the
town and community. We hear the
expression, 'That it .is new Bis
marck, y and it can never be the same
again.
The services last Monday deserve
especial mention. 1t being Labor Day
an all day meeting was announced at
the tabernacle. A special train on
the Illinois Southern brought great
crowd Of people from the Lead Belt
towns. A large crowd Of people were
at the station to meet the train. The
children, each one with an American
flag, led by Hobbs, headed the pro-
cession in the march from the depot
to the tabernacle.i
1t was estimated that fifteen hun
dred people were at the tent during
the day. Bismarck never saw any
thing like it in the history of the town.
At II o'clock Rev. Hobbs preached
on "The Key that Unlocks Heaven'
and showed the wonderful power of
prayer, speaking largely out of his
own rich experience.
The Juniors sang to delight Of the
great audience. The children love
Hobbs and he knows how to get them
to sing. The special music from Flat
River under the leadership Of Mr..
Ramsey was great. The male quartette
from St. Louis sang to the delight of
all, and was treat we seldom enjoy.
In the afternoon Steve Burke
preached great sermon to the labor
union on "How to Succeed" Few
men can preach like Steve Burke.
He at all times has complete control
of his audience. The great secret oi
Steve Burke's power Is the constrain-
1 ing love of Christ and compassion
for lost men, that know no limit. No
one can hear him without feeling in
tuitively that he is a man Of God,
bringing message from the very
heart of the Father himself.
Cottage prayer meetings have been
held at residences the past two weeks
with good results.
Burke and Hobbs make great
team and we are glad they are with
us and wish them and the people o.
the town the greatest Of success.

Robbed the Circuit Judge.

Judge w. N. Eyans Of West Plains,
while at Charlottesville last week act
ing as special Judge in the Pemiscot
county circuit court, was robbed one
night while asleep in his room at the
Majestic Hotel in that city.
Judge Evans had retired early in
the night after strenuous day in
court. He carefully folded his trous-
ers and laid them on a chair near the
bed. Peace and quiet reigned supreme,
except the mosquitoes that come
from the Mississippi river near by to
serenade the judicial visitor.
In the still hours Of the night q
prowler emerged from one Of the
hotel rooms. He was In his stocking
feet, for no one heard the intruder.
He carried a long curtain pole, two
fish hooks being fastened to one end
Of the pole. From the top Of ster
latter the robber looked through the

Arguments for and Against
Amendment No. 6.

The champions of Amendent No. 6
give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
Road districts should have the au-
thority to obtain money by direct
levy upon the property in the district
for the purpose of making, improving
and maintaining the roads in the dis
trict.
Amendent No. 6 seeks to confer up
ION each road district in the State the
authority to accomplish the purpose
above stated. 1t should be adopted
for the following reasons
(1) Roads can not be made and
maintained without money. The
Constitution, as it now stands, does
not provide for levy in road districts
for road purposes. This amendment
provides simple, direct way Of rails
ing the money and places the burden
upon the taxpayer in the district in
proportion to the amount OF property
he owns in said district.
(2) 1t places the matter of raising
money for road purposes and the mat
ter Of making and maintaining the
roads in the districts absolutely in the
hands Of of the people in the district.
In other words. it gives the people Of
the district the right to attend to their
own affairs in the matter Of building
roads. If'this amendment is adopted
the people Of each road district will
be given the right to elect their owr
road overseers and to transact theil
road matters much in the same way
the school districts transact their
school matters.
OPPOSING ARGUMENT.
The reasons given by the opponents
Of Amendment No. 8 why it should bt
voted down are as follows:
This amendment ought not bt
adopted because it creates new ans
additional ways OF levying taxes. Tht
Constitution as it is affords ample
means for raising taxes for all neces
sary and legitimate purposes. Jus
because good roads are a good thini
10 no reason for going "hog wildn Of

Yes" answered Bud. "and for me,
too. But you must have known him
before. Amigo-he seems to be afraid
of you"
A smile OF satisfaction passed over
the swarthy face of the Indian at this.
and then the lines became grim again.
His eyes. glowed with the light of some
great purpose, aud for the first time
since he had been with Bud he drew
aside the veil from his past

He squatted by the fire and poured
out cup of coffee, still brooding over
his thoughts-then, with swift ges-
ture. he laid open his shirt and pointed

KNEW USE OF THE CEREALS
Evidence That People of the Stone
Age Did Not Live Exclusively on
Animal Food.

There is nothing to indicate that
the men of the later stone age did not
have buckwheat pancakes for break
fast. 1t has been learned that not
only buckwheat but many other grains
of the present day, such as corn. bar
ley. fax, rye and oats. formed an i'm
portant part of the daily bread con-
sumed by the people OF the latter half
of the stone age, known as the neo-
lithic epoch.
1t is generally admitted that the
men of the age of hewn stone we're
hunters. With Asiatic invasions the
manner OF living changed The neo-
lithics began to raise domestic ami
mails and to cultivate certain species
of plants. the remains of which are
still to be found.
Corn is the most ancient plant
known. Scientists have observed
samples of it in the celebrated layer
of the Mas dAzil. or end of the hewn
stone period.
1t is believed that this kind of plant
is essentially of Asiatic origin. 1t
could have been brought into Europe
by nerolithic invaders. Egyptian
wheat has also been found Barley is
also pretty frequent. being repre-
sented by six distinct varieties. On
the other hand. rye and. oats were
known, but were rare. Flax was rep
resented by different kind from the
present species.
The other plants of that age were
probably gathered In a wild state.
Fruits were generally cut in quarters
and dried; such as certain little spe-
cies Of apples and pears.

CHAPTER XIX.


1t was June. and the windstorms
which had swept in from the south
east died away. No more. as in the
months that had passed, did the dust
pillar rise from the dump of the For
tuna mill and go swirling up the can
yon.
A great calm and heat settled over
the harassed land, and above the far
blue wall of the Sierras the first thun-
der caps of the rainy season rose up
till they obscured the sky. Then, with
rush of conflicting winds. a leaden
silence. and a crash OF flickering light,
the storm burst in tropic fury and was
gone as quickly as II had come.
So. while the rich landowners OF the
hot country sat idle and watched 1t
grow, another storm gathered behind
the distant Sierras; and. as empty
rumors lulled them to false security.
suddenly from the north came the
news of dashing raids. of railroads
cut, troops routed. and the whole bor-
der occupied by swarming rebels
In a day the southern country was
isolated and cut off from escape and.
while the hordes of Chihuahua insur-
rectos laid siege to Aqua Negra. the
belated Spanish haciendados came
scuttling once more to Fortuna. There,
at least. was an American town where
the courage of the Anglo-Saxon would
protect their women in extremity. And,
If worst came to worst, 1t was better
to pay ransom to red-fiag generals
than to fall victims to bandits and loot
ers.
AS the bass roar of the great whistle
reverberated over the hills Bud Hook
er left his lonely camp almost gladly.
and with his hard-won gold-dust safe
beneath his belt went galloping into
town.
Not for three weeks-not since he
received the wire from Phil and To-
Gated the Eagle Tail mine--had he
dared to leave his claim. 3urales. out
laws and Mexican patriots had dropped
in from day to day and eaten up most
of his food. but none of them had
caught him mapping. and he had no in
tention that they should.
A conspiracy had sprung up to get
rid OF him. to harry him out OF the
country. and behind 1t was Aragon.
But now. with the big whistle blowing,
Aragon would have other concerns.
He had his wife and daughter, the
beautiful Gracia, to hurry to the town.
and perhaps the thought of being
caught and held for ransom would de-
ter him from stealing mines So rea-
soned Bud. and, dragging a reluctant
packanimal behind him. he came rid

needed most. AS he was passing by
