exceedingly large counties Holt Rock Brown and Cherry and there are but three resident ministers in these counties So yon can readily understand we are doing some pioneer work Mr S is a minister of the gospel but is either wofnlly ignorant of the truth or prevaricates with a deliberation that would astonish Eli Perkins In the east this will un doubtedly be accepted as the truth and add to their opinion of Nebraska as a very wild and heathenish part of the country Win B Ely of Ains worth answering this charge says thnt in Rock county alone with a population of 2809 there are four resident ministers iu constant active service besides five others retired who hold meetings in different parts of the county He be lieves that there are at least 33 resident ministers in active service in the

a decision at the polls last fall There is much difference of opinion regarding smallpox and its various at tributes among the best physicians and authorities but undoubtedly the ut most precaution against the disease is justifiable and while a person may sometimes be inconvenienced it is un questionably preferable that an individ ual should be discommoded than that the health of an entire community should be placed in jeopardy A case is re corded where the poisonous effluvium crossed a river 1500 feet wide and af fected 10 out of 12 carpenters on the other side Another authority claims that clothing will retain the contagion for months and it is said for years if confined This should be sufficient reason for the greatest precaution on the part of smallpox patients and those coming in contact with the disease A rigid compliance with quarantine regu lations and thorough disinfection should be observed What will be left of the Bible for people to have absolute faith in after the learned doctors get through with their explanations of the things re corded is a question that might well be asked by those who follow the doc tors and Btndents of theology closer than they do the Bible Dr Lyman J Abbott in an address before the stu dents and faculty of Cornell university said he did not regard the book of Gen esis as historically correct and it is claimed thathe characterized the story of Jonah and the whale as an ancient joke written to provoke humor and thus by means of satire puncture the narrowness of the Hebrews If they continue to thus explain the various statements of the Bible there will in time be considerable question as to what are unvarnished facta and what are joke6 and parables There certainly has been much dispute among Bible students as to what the story of Jonah nnd the whale menus science having proven thnt it would bo impossible for n whnle ns now constructed to swallow a man Some hnvo explnined thnt whales were different then thnn now nnd
