an who dreamed she died and went to
heaven, is a beautiful one in this
connection. She, though a nominal
christian, was spending her time
with the social events of the world,
and doing nothing for Christ and the
church. She was awakened by the
dream of heaven, when Peter was
showing her the beauties of heaven,
saw beautiful mansion, with the
crown beside the door filed with
stars, and the robe with gems, and
gardner who lived in the hut beside
the barn. She was then shown a
small hut beside the beautiful street,
and on the door hung the crown and
robe with neither star nor gem. She
declared that both were the opposite
of what they had on earth, and ask
ing IL not the hut be changed, re-
ceived the reply that they could only
build of the material sent up for the
structure She awoke to find that
she was throwing life away and lay
ing up no treasures In heaven
May we all get the lesson, and
realize that there Is much to live for
in this old world, and that we give
our lives to Jesus Christ, and His
service of helpfulness to others. and
hear Him say, "As much as ye did
Il unto the least of these my brethren
ye did Il unto Me-"

commenced an attack which was con-
tinued without intermission. The
French successes began with the cap
ture, at the point of the bayonet, of
a farm commanding the road entering
the town. The French then advanced
road by road until the village was
reached.
Charges and counter charges of in
fantry were made amid the continual
booming of the French three nch
guns from all the heights to which
the Germans replied with ever dimin-
ishing vic ence, which indicated a
shortage of ammunition.
The Germans made a stubborn de-
fense with machine guns and cold
steel at the outskirts of Steinbach,
and the chasseurs also were met with
a murderous fire.
One French company asked permis-
mission to charge. Many soldiers fell
before they reached the German line
but nothing could stop the rest, and
the German forces guarding the road
were surrounded and annihilated.
In possession of the road and the
farm the chasseurs mounted quick
firing guns on line of sheds connect
ing with the village, and, sweeping
along yard by yard, finally captured
the first line of houses.
The struggle was then continued
from house to house. the French los
ing one day the buildings captured on
the preceding day, but always return

lence and making a further advance
Every alley was an ambush and every
house little fortress.

MAY SETTLE THE
HOLD Up CASES
FRIDAY NIGHT
There Is a Lurking Suspicion
That Appointment Matters
Will Be Adjusted.

While nothing to speak of is being
spoken in regard to future action by
Mayor Raymond or the Common
Council, in regard to the hoid-up by
council of the mayors appointments
to the Police and Health boards ard
one or two other departments. there is
lurking suspicion that the wi +,
matter will be cleared up at Friday
nights meeting of the Board of AL
dermen.
This means that the nominations
may be taken from the table and that
the names of those not unsatisfactory
10 the Democrats will be confirmed.
The contention that the so-called
Ripper act'' gives the mayor exclu-
sive appointive powers, and that the
Cannon Counil need not be taken
into consideration at all, is not being
SO strenuously advanced now as II
was at the beginnings
There does not APPEAR to have been
the slightest opposition at any time,
on the part of the Democrats, to the
Republican appointments, the objec-
tion to the police board nominations
being confined to Nathan Kussy and
Herbert e. Ehlers, recorded as Demo-
Gratis, on the ground that they are not
Democrats, in the meaning of the law
and party acceptance of the term.
Kussy, it is said, has been a persist
ent antagonist OF the io.al Democratic
organization. has assailed Democrats
on many occasions and was a leader
in the fusion movement. Ehlers. 1t Is
declared, has never been considered a
Democrat, but has been classed as an
opponent of Democrats.
According to a rumor started yes
Lerday, a willingness was expressed

THANH, Alsace. Jan. 4, via Paris,
Jan. 5.--A race of three miles up the
steep slope at Engelburg through
thickets and up rocky steps between
a battalion of French light infantry
with mountain guns and German
battery determined the result of the
stubborn fight for the Alsatian town
of Steinbach.
The French surprised a movement
II the German battery ascending
toward the summit of the mountain
by road. and taking a short cut ac-
complished what seemed to be the
impossible.
The French battalion arrived FIVE
minutes before the Germans appeared
In an open space and had just time
to put Into position their mountain
guns. Five minutes more all was
over. Too late the Germans attempt
ed to retire and the battery was an
initiated.
Possession of this point permitted
the French to cross the river Thur,
above the town Of Thanh. and to re-
inforce the troops operating around
Steinbach.
On the morning of December 81
the French occupied all the heights
around the town and sent an envoy
to the German commandant demand
ing the surrender of the place. The
German officer replied:
"The German commander-in-chief
considers that our forces are in no
wise cut off. The route to Cernay
(Sennheim) still Is open and retreat
always Is possible. In any case the
emperor's troops are ready to die. but
to surrender. never
