Sam offered Packey an enormous
guarantee to meet the best man
they could get. Packey told them
It was o. X. and said he would sign
upon his arrival.
Berger and Britt Immediately

covered, saloons and cigar stores
posted, street car ads. and ban

the result. The many friends of
the genial captain here wish him

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO much
faith in the curative power of Halls

SUOMI CHURCH NEWS.
The blessed Lenten season is at
hand. Christians in all lands feel
their duty and privilege to devote
some particular time for medita-
tons and services on the sacrifcial
death of our Saviour Jesus Christ
What could be more fitting? Man
can never have thoughts too much
consecrated in these things. The
Calvary's Cross is the center of
Christian doctrine; it is the rock
and foundation for Christian hope
and it is the key that opens the
way to the holy of holes. With
out this Cross there would be no
Christianity. The Lenten texts
take us step by step not only to
the climax of His sufferings, but
also to see and hear Him shouting
His victorious EIt is finished"
Our church has always been OBJ
serving this sacred call of Lent.
No meeting during this season can
be fully successful without bring.
ing up some points what Christ did
for US. And it has been a great
Joy to see our meetings well at
tended, either Young Peoples, Lad
les Aid, Mid-week or Sunday Ser
vices. We shall have special sing
ing at each meeting until Easter.
On Good Friday, when we shall
have Communion Service, special
Passion selection will be presented
by our choir assisted by our eight
soloists. Remember! Good Friday
evening at z 100 you are invited to
partake at the Lords Table.
Next Monday night at 500 our
church will have regular monthly
meeting. Come! Important!
Slowly but steadily has our Sun
day School progressed. Children
are interested to attend well organ
lied classes. Teachers are doing
their very best in making every
school hour as successful as pos
sible. How many are there? Ex-
actly 30 teachers and 149 pupils
was the report of our superintend-
ent, Mrs. Vuoti, last Sunday. Quite
an army, isn't it? But more are
coming. The dear Lord who has
given US this most precious work
of all wants US to do more He
wants US to fill His feast table in
heaven. All those who "do not
care" both young and old should
be told that Jesus loves them and
gave His life for them. And this
is wonder working message in
deed. 1t makes people move. It
makes people think. It relieves
people from many things that are
base and low. It gives new food
for thought. Yes, it gives more /!
1t gives Life, abundant life; that is
rich and joyful and has some real
goal. Let US get busyi Time is
drawing nigh. We do not know
what day is our last one.

letter reads:

Editor Miner, Ely, Mimi.
Friend Schaefer-Your recent
issue of the Miner came duly to
hand. Am more than pleased with
the prompt manner the represent
alive papers of the ranges took up
the battle against the tonnage tax
measure and ! can safely say the
well written arguments by the
range press had considerable to do
with the slaughtering Of the Jacob
son bill, in the senate. The range
press comments and the appearance
Of delegation of representative
citizens set the lawmakers to
thinking and I confidently believe
that should the measure have been
referred back to the House it
would have been killed by that
body.
