Which is Riuht7

The Nomad was very properly crit icized the other day for speaking of the Book of Revelations" In strict Propriety, it is the Book of Revelat ton. The regular title of the book is. of course:1 The Revelation of St. John the Divine" But there are so many revelations in the book that people generally use the name in the pU,a l. That is wrong. Speaking of the th4r- teenth chapter of this Apocalyptic vol ume. which is supposed 10 refer to the proceedings of the German kaiser. the Nomad can testify that a great deal of interested attention is being paid to this curious matter. Not only does the blaspheming war lord appear to be di- rectly referred to, but also his assistant war lord, the emperor of Austria The first beast. which is the kaiser, comes up out of the sea-in a subma rine: but the prophet also beholds another beast which comes up out of the earth: and Austria, in this war, is practically an inland power; and his function is 10 cause people to worship the first beast. However, there is a good deai in this chapter of the Book of Revela ton (not Revelations) tGe naming of which does not come out readily. The last stanZa runs:
 Here is wisdom Let him that hath count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man and his number is Six hundred three

Herman Fors, who was brought to town recently from Mile on suspi- cion of insanity, was tried and ad- judged insane by jury in the com missioner's court this morning, and recommended for treatment in Morn ingSide hospital.

He imagines that for some reason unknown to him self, attempts are being made to poison him, and consequently has re- fused to eat. He will be taken to Portland on the first boat.

 WONDERFUL TEACHER

The Empress theater is deserving of compliment upon securing for the people of Seward such a film as "The Battle Cry of Peace" It was the un- animous opinion of all who witnessed the production last night that it is the greatest feature that was ever shown in Seward. The lessons and facts portrayed are vital to our existence as a nation and during the preaent war crisis no picture could have been more timely.
