Our Inst selection of site appears to havo been no better than the others we cho5c at different times, nnd I am now in favor of referring the question to the voters of the school district nnd let them decide where they want to havo tho school located. While the law does not permit the voters to designate where the school shall bo built, still they could ex. ptrss their preference and 1 believe tho. hoard ought to stnnd by it.

Walk "Last Sunday I presented to von a !.. of tho unrealized hopes of human life, drawn irom mo paraolo of the death of Hod's first great high priest. Aaron, and his creator brother, Moses. Today I bring you a more hopeful lemon. It Is that of the visions which may Inspire human life, nntwlth. stuiidlng Us unrealized hopes. i no greatest truth to be demonirn,i from tho history of these ancient worthies Is that the chief business of this llfo is ca pability of service. Mcoea, Jcetis Christ nnd St. Paul are illustrious examples of this iruin. ror mo great rulflllmont of Moses' llfo there was n preparntlon of years which almost staggers us in Its scope. Tho almplo facto of the history of tho life of Mmh nro of tho most dramatic Interest. Born of Hebrew parents, adopted by the royal family of F.gypt. bred for a king's son and reared, all unknown to his teachers, that, he might destroy the power of the Kgyptlans, he grew to mnnnoocrs estate, nut nil tho luxurv of that court, together with Its prldo and circumstance, could not destrov his lnvn for his own people nor his hono for their dollvcrancc. "His first attempt wns prcmnture nnd fulling in that ho lied and dwelt In tho wilderness. At this time ho was 10 years old. For forty years moro ho led a n.mtnr.ii llfo nnd when other men wero ready to dlo ho wns Just ready to begin to live. Through theso long years of schooling he WJH wing prepared for the work which In his SOth year came to him nnd for forty yenrs moro ho was leader, loglslntor nnd supremo executor of the nation which under Ood was to be tho ndvnnco guard of tho world's greatest civilization. In his train ing Is exemplified In Uh highest form that preparation which is so necessary tomake men capable of the service which Clod calls them to perform. "In liko manner was Jesus nrennrcd. Thirty years of medltntlon before ho burst upon tho world In full-robed splendor ns the Son or HighteouMioss. st. Paul's 'three yearn In Arabia' was for tho Fame purpose. "Another thought brought to our minds by tho parablo In thnt it Is a blessed thing to die when the work has been so far done that It Justifies the worker, demonstrates h'a character and vindicates his nobleness. This wns not tho caso with Jesus and St. Paul. "Agnln, the former denial of our hopes may be tho means of perfecting our charac ter. In the subsequent revelation of Moses wo do know thnt Ood fulfilled Ills promises and the hopes of His servnnt In a deeper and higher way than Ho could hnvo dreamed of. I have said that tho parable is In dicative of tho visions which may inspire human Ufa notwithstanding Its unrealized hopes. You may not have realized your hepes, but hnvo you no visions? If not then Indeed nro you to be pitied! Moses, wo nro told, 'endured ns seeing him who Is invisible.' This was nil tho time his refuge, his ground of retreat, his arsenal nnd his armor. II was by such a llfo that he ac complished his great work. "Wc would often llko to know how great men work. Wo lovo to hear of tho Interior llfo of statesmen, warriors, poets and of great men of every kind What Inspired them? How wero they uble to prosecuto their work In the face of tho world's hos tility and adverse criticism? What power Inspired SavouaroU to face tho proud Med- Id and the scorn nnd ribaldry of the peo ple? What visions came to Washington nt Valley Forge? What power uplifted the soul of Lincoln? How we should like to know. And yet hero by the touch of n di vine hand wc have on Inside view of this great man. Wo see how it was thnt ho kept himself up under his tremendous responsi bilities. Wo see what It was thnt he took for his rest. Under nil his burdens and anxious cares, enough to have worn out a scoro of ordinary men, he maintained him self to the very Inst. And this Is the way he did It: 'He endured as seeing Illm who is invisible.' This was his strength. This was his life. Ho endured his mighty task by dwelling in the great realm above. This was his refuge, his ground of retreat. Xo man can be put down or fall In the conflict of life who lives with Christ filling his mental horizon. To men who live greatly God gives visions through this very Idealism of life and these visions nre glorious in spiration nnd strength. Visions of great faith. Visions of bright hope. Visions of rest through toll. Visions of triumph while wc fight. Visions of heavenly perfection and blessedness." ctit vi" v i vrniu'Hivr.s thii I. w I'lnceo Its ("oiiRtriictlon on Code lro- vlillnur for TiiMitlon l,eniitliiM. SIOUX CITY. Feb. 18. (Special.) The authorities of Woodbury county hnvo placed a construction of I heir own on that sec tion of tho Iowa oeilc providing for tho ex emption from taxation of tho homestead of a soldier, sailor, or their widows, when such property Is worth not to exceed $S00, taking Into consideration that sentence which provides "hut the value of other real estate owned by him shnll be deducted from such exemption." So far there has been no construction placed on this statute or section by tho courts and thero hits been considerable trouble experienced In several counties as to Its real meaning. Many of the petitions for exemption claimed thnt only that amount of property over nnd nbovo the $800 exemption could bo taxed, or In other words. If tho property was worth $000 only $100 would bo subject to taxation. The Woodbury county authorities, how ever, figure It out thnt If a person has J500 of property $700 would be exempt from taxation. This figure Is arrived at by de ducting the amount of the exemption from tho nctual value nnd again deducting this excess from tho exemption, the remainder being free from taxation. k for Higher Churucq.

(Xew York World Cable, gram Special Telegram.) Will the expo sltion succeed? A whllo ago nobody would havo dared to oven raise, tho question. Today plenty of oagnclous men nro found predicting a com paratlvo fiasco. Xewspapors aro beginning to consider tho problem seriously. Author itattvo opinion Is rather conlllctlng. Director General Plrand admits that the Tranavuul war, tho Indian famine, the Egyp tian troublo nnd tho threatening clouds gathering In Asia towards tho Russian and British frontiers, are not conducive to suc cess. English patronage, always nn Impor- tnnt.fnetor to success, Is certain to bo nil. Likewise, Spain and her former colonies, which In 1S80 sent many visitors, won't at tend to any large extent. Francois Coppeo recently published several articles denouncing tho foolishness of oc cupying one's self with exposition frivolities when tho hour is so full of political danger internally and outside. The distinguished economist, Paul Leroy Deaulieus, Is quoted as saying that tho attendance, which must bo ono-half larger than In 1889, to make this more costly fair successful, Is bound to fail short of tho previous figures. The reasons ho gives nre that (ormuny, Italy, Russia and Franco don't know nt what mo ment they will become embroiled In tho most stupendous conflict In history. There fore, their citizens don't feel like spending money or neglecting their business In theso critical tlmef. Other prophets predict that tho plague which secured a foothold In Oporto, Bor deaux, Iondon, Vienna nnd Trlesto last year, will suroly burst out very violently at several polnta In Kuropo as soon as warm weather returns. Only a few cases would bo sufficient to scaro visitors awny completely. Somo less serious critics point out tho fact that tho announcements that tho exposition must bo very moral injured Its prospects lr romodlably, because half of tho visitors aro drawn to Paris by nothing but tho naughti ness expected there. Theso pessimistic views nro not shared by many persons, who show a serene convic tion that nothing can prevent the world touring forth to Paris next summer. woi i.i) wi:n wiM.u: WAiii.irs taiti Duke of lloikhiirKh Would Xul All nit HiivliiK Sonic of Antiir Million.

" fJ"Mie free distribution of 10,000 sample cakes of Kirk's JAP ROSE SOAP TRADE MARK from the offices of the Bee on Friday and Satur day, proved a success far beyond the anticipations of the promoters. The Bee office was crowded from morning until night with people who eagerly strove for one of the sample cakes of JAP ROSE Soap, the supply of 10,000 was quickly exhausted, and many thousands were turned away disap pointed. Apart from the novelty of the distribu tion, it is quite evident that Jas. S. Kirk 8c Co. have good solid grounds for thus winning popular favor on so extensive a scale.
