I am now in favor of referring the question

school located. While the law does not
permit the voters to designate where the
school shall bo built, still they could ex.

Rev. 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."

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.

SIOUX CITY, Feb. 18. (Speclnl.) The in
tention of the legislators from the Fourth
Judicial district has been called to tho fact
that tho charge authorized for taking depo
sitions in other stntes is grenter than (hat
nllowcd for like service by Iowa otflclals
empowered to tuko depositions. An Inspec
tion of the fee bills in the office of tho clerk
of the courts shows that oftentimes as
much as $1 n pngo Is charged In other stntes.
while In Iowa only 30 cents is allowed under
tho present law. An nmendment to tho law
Is nsked permitting a higher charge.

PARIS, Fob. 18. (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.

When tho Into Sir Henry Meux died, Lord

tho half hope of somo Inheritance, hut his
namo was not oven mentioned in tho will.
Somo nmusomcnt was caused by his naive

herself very much distressed at hor hus

will bo very acceptable, Indeed, if paid.
It Is probable on account of this windfall
that Lord Essex, being now able to pay

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.
The people know a good thing when they
get it. AP ROSE Soap is evidently more than
up to public standard,; and the Bee wishes its
fortunate makers all the success they so richly
'deserve.
