'Apropos ' of the charges that were Hied against Overseer of the Poor Jackson by the "Women's Christian Association hospital on Saturday and the numerous complaints directed against the eame official from vari ous sources. Rev. , Henry DeLong has given for publication the following letter : COUNCIL BLUFFS. Jan. 14. To the Editor of The Bee : I have co-operated with the overseers of the poor of this county for thirty-five years. I have saved the county thousands of dollars by gathering up cast off clothing and distributing It among the poor. When Mrs. DeLong and myself have gone to former overseers with representa tions of parties In distress wo have always received for the applicant temporary help until such time as the case could bo In vestigated. Wo have called the attention of Overseer Jackson to cases of destitution re ferred to us or coming under our observa tion , but ho has refused to give aid. I can relate many Instances In proof of this as- sertlon. On one occasion he said to Mrs. DoLong : "I don't want you or your husband to go around looking up the poor. I will look after that myself. " Destitute persons are being sent to us every day and we have no place to send them. We have personal knowledge almost , < ly of families or little children Buttering for the necessities of life and can clvo them I/ / but little aid. In view of these facts I cle- Ire to announce that I will receive nny funds that 'may be Intrusted to me for the relief of suffering and want coming under my observation. HENRY DE LONG.

Iba Kind You Ha a Always Bought . Thi Kind You Hue Always Bttight The Kind Yea Harc Alwars Bought DRIFTING AWAY FROM GOD ier. Barnes Defines tha Kind of Religion that Many Practice. T IS PLEASANT , BUT NOT JUST THE THING .Vnrrnvr nnil Straight I'nthft Have ftone Out of Fnnlilon Until I'conle llnrillr Know Where They Are Wnlklnir. Hcv. W. S. Barnes of the First Presby terian church took for the subject of his ser mon yesterday morning "Well Anchored. " and told of the danger of drifting away from the things of God. basing his remarks on the llrst verse of the second chapter of Hebrons. ( Revised version. ) He said : 'A ' great many of you spend most of your time In surroundings not very religious ) some of you have to spend your time In sur roundings decidedly Irreligious. We all live In an atmosphere moro or less worldly and whatever the degree of our piety or the strength of our faith , wo are all beset with Influences that tend to draw us away from our spiritual moorings. Business assocla > lions and even some of our friendships form n current which may cause us unconsciously to drift away from our anchorage. That Is the thing this text refers to. There it danger of drifting away. Whatever some may say , who like to strlko the chorda that are pleasing the pub. lie ear , tbo plain truth Is that the spirit ot our times Is not ono of deep piety. We are making religion too easy a thing , regarding ns a luxury , losing the cross-bearing portion almost entirely ; calling some things re. llgtous that Christ never called religious , some things good that Christ never called good , some things indifferent that Christ called bad. We arc doing a great deal ot religious gondola riding In a boat built only for smooth water , with but one oar and that In the hands of another , and gliding over water In which there Is no current and scarcely a ripple. It Is cosy and pleasant , but maybe there te a drifting away from the simple , plain things wo have heard from God , and we are called back to our only safe anchorage "In these days of Independent thinking , freedom of speech and press , fondness for something a little novel and even slightly erratic , you need to know your own mind and be sure of your foundations. Narrow paths have gene out ot fashion and while the broader ones may bo better , the ten dency la to widen the margin still more until you scarcely know where you are walkIng - Ing and are not at all sure that you are get. ting anywhere. Indeed. It Is hard for anyone < ono to keep his bearings , morally and re. . llglously , nowadays. And If ever there was a time when It was necessary for every Indi vidual to think carefully , to lay firm hold upon the old truth that came from God and keep himself well anchored to It If eve that was needed. It Is needed now. Hack to Old Thing * . "Tho world Is full of teachers of large pretensions nnd small qualifications people who are very ready to tell you what Is rlglr and what Is not right , who yet have very alight acquaintance with the great standorc of right that has been given to guide al human feet. You may be almost overcome by their bold self-confidence. You may be persuaded that you are decidedly old fogylsn nnd entirely behind the times , hampering yourself with scruples that savor more o tbo opening of the nineteenth century than ot tbo close of It. You may be told that Jesus Christ only Intended to educate the world up to Its present point of Intelligence and then expected to withdraw Into the background and leave all the morally Intel ligent people to be their own guides ; tha the bible was only meant to be our primer nnd wo must show our aptness as pupils by leaving that behind and going on tor our selves. "But , my friend'brook no such bold In sinuations. Let It be distinctly known tha you have not the vanity to call the bible a primer and throw It away until you have learned Us lessons In your heart and life Lot It be understood that you will not clnlm to bo a graduate from the school of Chris until the world can clearly see the marks o the Master In the works of your hands. Go back unto the things that you have learnei from high sources. Tie up to the old moor Ines. Don't be afraid to bo called narrow and stiff when you remember that to b right often means to bo narrow and stifl 'After ' all there was something very valu able about that old-fashioned solidity. I was splendid building material. Good strong lives and sturdy character were bull upon It. We must confess to a good measur of moral softness and moral Instability among ua. The remedy is plain ; we mus have some things a good many things firmly settled and securely rested upon. We must know what we believe ; we must know what Is right ; we must know what Chris tianity teaches ; we must not be at sea adrift , but stay well anchored to the old truths that hnvo not perished and never can perish , simply because they are true. "A double-minded man Is unstable In all bis ways , but ho who cherishes tbe things he has beard from above and fears lest he should drift nway from them , he Is In a position to live a life ot solid comfort and of solid achievement. He can withstand the current ot Influence In his surroundings that are running away from simple Chris tianity. That man will have something to stand upon when this world will have van ished from beneath his feet and ho will be conscious of nothing left but himself and God.

Mrnil > rr of the County Donril Dliono Pmvlnlonn of Xrvr Code. One ot the matters that came up for dis cussion at the meeting last week ot the as. sessors of Pottawattamle county was tbe ? SOO exemption allowed old soldiers and their widows. According to Attorney General Remley , the new code greatly extends the exemptions Tvhldi may be claimed on behalf ot tbe homesteads of the veterans of ' 61 of their widows. The attorney general has prepared and Issued for distribution to county audit ors , through the state auditor , a caref.il opinion defining tbe measures of these ex emptions. A copy of this opinion has just been received by County Auditor Innes. In the cases ot widows tbe attorney general says : "If tbe claimant is a widow of a union soldier or sailor , then sfao U entitled to the JSOO exemption. Irrespective ot what may be her financial standing or what other property she may have. " This enlarges the class entitled to the exemption very materially from the prior law.

MUST ADOPT NEWER METHODS OR GIVE UP n Steel , Engine * nml Machinery mill Leather Clondn Ainerlenii Cli-ntu * Turnr the Title In. the World' * MnrtB. WASHINGTON , Jan. 15. The cflect of American competition upon Scotch Indus- rlcs In tbo three great lines , steel , engines ml machinery anil leather goods , Is sot out n a report to the Bureau of Foreign Com merce of tbo State department from United States Consul Fleming at Edinburgh. Ho inses bis report on a review of the year's rado prepared for publication In a Scotch ewspaper by experts In the lines nanfcd. The opinion of the experts In the case of teel Is that tbo Scotch steelmaker has nl- oweil his plant to get bohlnd the times In apaclty , whllo tbe American steelmaker : as made such enormous strides In produc- lon that his extraordinary success seema to hrcaten the trade of the world. Touching the Introduction abroad of \mcrlcan locomotives , experts arc quoted to bow that the American machine , whllo sold t a lower prlco than the British locomotive , s Inferior In durability and other desirable ualltles and Is being gradually crowded out iy the latter. Thla Is said to bo tlio case n Japan particularly , where the British and merlcan machines have been tried slmul- ancously for some time past. The difference In price In favor of the imerlcan locomotive Is explained by the heory that the new Winchester system of ompulsory inspection In England caused the 'ejection ' of much valuable material at all ' tages of manufacture , while the American manufacturer Is not obliged to.submit to lu- pectlon end therefore Is enabled to use In- erior material. Yet They liny Onr KnKl'icx. The consul , In rendering this opinion , adds' hat the Midland Railway company In Eng- and has just ordered twenty American loco motives and It would seem that the mana gers are not specially apprehensive that the American machines cannot pass the British cat. It la admitted that the Americans and 'anadlans ' still retain the bulk of tbe 1m- lortont trade In agricultural machinery and iavo practically a monopoly. ' There Is also an open confession In the case of the boot and shoo trade that the British cannot make a shoo equal to the American product for the same price. The export says : "To our annoyance and Irritation It must candidly admitted that their manufac tures for beauty of style ' , handsome appear ance and perfection of' fit excel ours ; In : helr words , they have 'gono one better' on us. " The British manufacturers had hoped that the American shoo would be found to lack wearing quality , but there again they were disappointed , for the expert admits that the American shoe Is made of the same leather that the British shoemaker uses. In upper leather entirely , and In solo leather to a great degree , the American leather ex cels the British currier and tanner , and the latter have admitted they must adopt Amer ican methods If they ore to survive. A large part of the British colonial trade has been captured by the Americans , who have now wrested away from the mother country almost the whole of 'the boot and shoe trade of West Australia and Africa. MINING IN TH'fe- BLACK HILLS Dldcovery of Wolframite Ore In North Lend Dintrlet Shown tix De Very Illch Mine Owner * Kxcltcd. LEAD , S. D. , Jan. 15. ( Special. ) What will undoubtedly prove to bo one of the greatest discoveries ever made In the Black Hills has Just been made known 1n this city. In the North Lead mining district IB located the Harrison mine , owned by the Kuester Bros , and associates of this city. The property has been a heavy producer - ducer of gold for several years , the value of the ore being exceptionally high. The main shoot of ore was twenty-flvo feet wide and four feet thick , underground , am a fen- months ago another large ere bed ] was opened on the west edge of the claim at the surface. In the last few weeks the gold values In the underground ore shoot have been pinch ing out. The Ire looked so rich that the owners sent samples of It east to experts , who made a careful analysis of It and found It to be very rich wolframite ore , The owners of the Harrison mine have kepi the matter quiet for a month or more. To make sure of the character 'and value o the ere they sent for a representative o the Phoenlxvlllo Metallurgical Steel and Iron works of Phoenlxvllle , Pa. , to come out and examine the ore deposit. Prof Dllllnger , representing that company , ar rived this week and after examining there ore Immediately placed an order with the Harrison people for forty tons of It , paying $200 a ton. The ore was chipped yeater day. There Is but little gold value left In the ore shoot In the mine , the gold having been replaced by the wolframite. As soon as the new discovery was made known In this city , and samples of the ore had been placed on exhibition , nearly every old miner saw In It awell known ore tha has been found In many parts of the Black Hills , but lias not been considered valuable for the reason that the proper tests ro wolframite ore had not been made. There was a general hustle among th mine owners to their mining claims am samples of what resembles the Harrison wolframite ore have been coming In from alt directions to the assayers of the cltj It Is stated that a number of other finds of the ore have been made , but the loca tions have not been made known as yet. Should tbe body of'wolframite extend the entire length of the Harrison clnlm , It will bo 600 feet long and there Is a long stretch of country north to Deadwood gulch which Is likely to contain the same ore shoot. Joining the Harrison mine on Ihti east Is the Durango and next the Redly mine. It Is stated that the same Indica tions of wolframite ore Is found lu tliese mines. Wolframite Is a rare metal , It being found principally In Germany and Russia and In small quantities In Arizona , In this country. It is a tungstate of Iron and manganese and is especially valuable for tbe tungstlc nol.l It contains. One of * the chief uses of the acid Is for tbe toughening of steel. Wol framite has other uses which make It one of tbo most valuable metals taken from the ground. A few weeks ago a representa tive of this same Iron works at Phoenlxvlllo purchased a carload of this kind of ore from near Hill City and sent It cast , so that It Is known that wolframite ore exists In the Southern Hills. 1UUZU IIUTTEIl AI.H13ADY AIIU1VIXO. Indication * thnt tbe Exhibit Will He Lurve and of Flue Quality. SIOUX FALLS. S. D. , Jan. 15. ( Special. ) To Judga by the manner In which butter is arriving here for exhibit at the annual convention of the National Creamery But- termakers * association , to commence the 23rd Inet. , expectations of an immense at tendance and unusual Interest on the part of those Interested In this Important Indus try will be fully realized. lu one day be tween forty and fifty tubs of butter were received by L. N. Hunter , the local commit * of the national flsjoclsrion , nnd ho s of the opinion that fully 1,000 package * f butter wilt bo on exhibition to compete or the liberal prizes offered for the best but- er. The rivalry between the various states , s well as between creameries located In he dairy portions of America , will bo very ( cen and the state which wins the chain- > lonshlp for good butter will naturally bo tie envy of all other states which enter Into lie competition. Several foreign countries vlll also be represented In the competition or prizes. Work on the no\v auditorium building , vhcro the convention will bo hold , has boon ushed nnd Is now far enough advanced to ender the huge structure comfortable. A ontract for heating the building has been n tor oil Into and other arrangements for roperly caring for the visitors to Jhe city nd delegates to the convention are prac- Ically completed.

PIEIIRB. S. D. , Jan. 15. ( Special. ) The illl Introduced In both houses for a per- nauout appropriation for the state educa- lonnl Institutions provides that there bo ct asldo ctght-'tentlis of 1 mill of the pcn- > ral state levy for the various state tnstltu- ions. This Is to bo divided among the In- tltutlona ns follows : Thirty-seven and one- ialf per cent to the State university at Ver- ulllon , 12 % per cent to the Agricultural allege at Brooklngs , 15 per cent to the Mad- son Normal school , 15 per cent to the Spear- Ish Normal school , 10 per cent to the iprlngfleld Normal school , 10 per cent to the School ot Mines. This measure Is not meet- wlth the assurances of success which : lvca It much foundation for going through. The total general tax levy allowable under ho constitution Is only 2 mills and this vould take nearly holt the levy. Beside the Decide appropriation which has been mndo n the past for each specific department of ho Institutions appears to bo the most fa- orabln one. The main argument urged for t Is that nearly all the other northwestern states have adopted It and find It satlsfac- ory , but It IB not at present considered ns ono of the probable laws of the present ses sion. sion.Tlio Tlio bill Introduced by Glass to tax notes , mortgages and other Interest bearing paper s ono which he 'has ' been advocating for several sessions and has never been able to get through. In the present case the bill will como Into the house with nil unfavor able committee report and Is likely to meet ho fata of Its predecessors. Considerable opposition Is developing to ho bill to compel state and county odlccra to purchase their supplies In the state. Th ! supporters of the bill are urging It on the ground that such a measure was endorsed n the platforms of both the republican and populist parties and that the passage of such a measure Is only keeping faith with the people on platform pledges. It Is being strongly fought and whllo It may pass It Is moro likely to meet the fate of the eame bill In the lost session. There nro not yet any evidences of a compromise In the penitentiary warden deal and unless It Is fixed up In a satisfactory manner within a day or two the democrats , who have declared they would assist the republicans In passing measures over the veto ot the governor , will bo put to the teat.
