she considers them a folly. Her
friend, Ruth, who adheres to the old
Jewish traditions, considers Christ

Pontia with a demons joy, where
upon she becomes mad and dies on
the stage Miriam, also a Jewish
maiden, reveres Christ and begs
Pontia to intercede with her father tc
spare the life of the Great Teacher.
Pontia's mother, the noble Claudia
Procla, goes to Pontius Plate and
intercedes for Christ, but all in vain.
She secretly leaves the palace for
ever and joins the Christians. Tullia,
or Jairus' daughter, who has been
raised to life by Christ, is firm,
fast friend of Pontia, and consols and
encourages her amid her great trials.
Petronilla, one of the holy wsmen
who witnessed the death of Christ
on Good Friday, instructs, admon-
ishes and encourages Pontia and
helps her to remain true to her newly
found faith. Both she and Pontia
are cast into prison by the Empress
Agripp, the mother of Emperor Nero,
whose reign is called "The Reign of
Terror" Agripp tries by affected
devotedaess and by force to marry
Nero 10 Pontia, who refuses to be
united to such licentious prince.
Whereupon she gives vent to her
hatred and frenzy by having Pontia
cast into prison and preparing a
cruel death for her. Pontia is bap-
tised in prison by Petronilla, assisted
by her faithful slave, Ethelinda, who
has access to her in prison through
the power of Flamentina, the Vestal
Virgin. Flamentina renounces the
service of Vesta, devotes her life to
Christ, and whilst rushing to prison
to save the lives of Petronilla and
Pontia (who had died a few minutes
before) she herself accepts the light
of faith and allows herself 10 be
fettered by the slaves. Angels ap

with a tableau representing the prin-

A good one is told on our friend,
F. J. Stevens, in connection with the
game Sunday. He is great fan en-
thusiast, but it being Sunday he did
not feel that it would be perfectly
proper for him to get out and bet his
money publicly, as he would like to
have done on a week day, so he
slipped up to one of the Nezperce
players and assured him, if they won
the game good supper for the whole
bunch was looming up" The boys

and feel very grateful to Mine Host

Sinking Of the Lusitania

London, May THE Cunard
liner Lusitania which sailed out of
New York last Saturday with more
than 1000 persons aboard, lies at the
bottom of the ocean off the Irish
coast.
She was sunk by a German subma-
rine, which sent two torpedoes crash-
ing into Der side, while the passen-
gers, seemingly confident that the
great vessel could elude the German
underwater craft, were having lunch
con. The latest estimates of lives
lost as result of the catastrophe is
1913. Among the Americans who
persisted are Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilt, Charles Klein, the playwright,
Justus M. Forman and Ebert Hub
bard and wife.
Washington, May President
Wilson practically decided tonight
on the first step of the policy which
the United States government would
pursue as the result of the sinking of
the British liner Lusitania, with the
loss of more than 100 American lives.
The president will act promptly
within another day or two. A. draft
of a communication to be sent TO

was made, it was learned that the

Directors Of Stock Show Met Saturday.

The board of directors of the Lew,
is County Fair & Stock Show hac
another meeting Saturday afternoon
and snapped enthusiasm. In com
pairing notes it was found that up to
that time, over $50 persons had Sc
cured membership to the association,
and Secretary Preston is optimistic
enough to predict that ere the dates
of the coming show, June Do and "a,
500 persons will have been added to
the membership roster of the associ-
alton.
Another meeting of the directors
will be held here Saturday afternoon
May 22nd, when the different boards
are expected to be present and make
preliminary reports and attend to
such matters as will come up.
The men who have the arrange
ments in hand are of the opinion
that all parts of the county, when
the matter is presented to them, will
unite heartily and maintain the as
ISOLATION as permanent annual af-
fair, as every grian and produce as
well as live stock, will receive every
attention possible,
There will be sports and games of
different kinds each day of the meet
and the young as we'll as the old can
spend the day with entertainment to
suit their particular liking. The fee
TO become a member is only one
dollar and women as we'll as men
are associating themselves with the
organization. Already bands from
all sections are making a bid to
come here, and furnish inspiring
music, and of course one or more
will be engaged in this capacity.
Men desiring concessions, from as
far distant as Walla Walla, are ask
ing for terms and information and
Secretary Preston's mail, daily is no
small item to look over and make
answer to.
II is the purpose of the managers
to make the coming fair and live
stock show a thorough and clean
affair, and that those who come here
June Do and a, this year, will be
looking forward to another like event
every year SO long as time shall be
enumerated.

A Treat TO the Farmer May Is.

Professors Thomas Shaw and E
A. Wilson, the agricultural experts
who will address the people of Nez
perez and vicinity at the opera house
Tuesday afternoon, May 25th at two
O'Clock on alfalfa growing and feed
ing and diversified farming, are high
ly auded all along the line from the
Great Lakes in the middle west to
the Puget Sound on the Pacific coast.
We are promised talk that is of
vital Importance to every person who
is at all interested in the growth and
! development of this particular Sec
ton or any of the country tributary.
They have thoroughly studied the
needs of all the new countries which
have given over their entire attention
to small grain farming.
The time is coming, and not SO far
in the future that men who till the
soil must come face to face to crop
rotation. Others, in other progress
sive states where during the first
twenty years only one style Of farm
ing was in vogue have found this out
and they took time by the forelock,
and have prospered by SO doing.
The virgin soil of any country can
not forever retain its fertility and
produce a satisfactory yield of any
one particular crop or produce. The
railroad companies realize this fully
as well as any one, consequently are
sending these expert agriculturists
here that those of less experience in
the producing line, may listen, learn
and profit thereby.
Hence it behooves every farmer
residing within reasonable distance
of Nezperce to drop their work for a
few hours on Tuesday afternoon,
May 18th, and avail themselves of
the opportunity to hear what these
men have to say about crops and
live stock-you cannot lose anything
even if you fail to apply their teach
ings and sayings to your especial
case.
