delivered at the First Methodist
church by Rev. G. H. Feese, . Fri
day evening. Because ot counter
attractions in town on the same
evening, the attendance was not
large, but the audience was appre
ciative. The lecture ' was a polish
ed, scholarly address, with truth,
wit, and humor so cleverly inter
woven mat all who listened were
charmed. Taken as a whole, the
address was an appeal to humanity
to live closer tc God, and truer to
principle, castiug aside the tads
and frivolities that govern too many
lives today, smothering out the
nobler and more elevating
of life.'

was piled up. The session began
at 7:30 and did not end until near
o clock in the morning. , After
the clock struck twelve, the breth
ren locked horns over the extension
of the city limits. All kinds of
visions were had by those in attend
ance, other than councilmen. One
proposed that a dozen hot tamales
be sent for as a peace ottering.
Another suggestion was that a doc
tor be sent for to write prescriptions
in the hope that a little stimulation
might help out.
-Hamar Buthn, aged 13, wasi
sent to the Bovs and Girls' Home
at Portland Saturday. Before he
left there was an examination in the
county-judge's office. The father
waS there, and was amazed when
the son. in answer to an inquiry,
stated that he had not been to school
during the past three months. The
father, who saws wood about town,
thought he had been there all the
time. The parting ot the lather
with his boy was a melancholly
scene, but the transfer of the lad to
a place where he will.be surrounded
by kind people and have the care
that he so much needs, is by far the
best for all concerned.
