ing off the bonded indebtedness of
Sherman county by a special levy,
agitation of which was started in our
columns? in a very interesting argu
ment by Countv Clerk Gibson, week
before last, Jacob Albers has re
ceived the following letter which
speaks straight from the shoulder
in its favor:
Brooklyn, X Y , April (>,—Friend Al
bers: In hist week's Northwestern
George Gibson asks opinion of ci'izens
on extra levy of eight mills in next two
years to take up indebtedness maturing
As a taxpayer, tell him I approve of
such levy. The body politic should be
as prompt in pa\ ing debts as the indi
vidual is expected to be. Yours.
E. J. Delaney.

The press of the state are pretty
unanimous in wanting Ilarry Lind
say to have something good. They
wanted him to succeed Summers as
district attorney, but as their wishes
in that regard have been disregard
ed, they now insist on his appoint-1
ment as supreme court reporter.
And why not? Lindsay is deserv
ing, competent, reliable, painstak
ing, and would prove an excellent
man for the place. Suppose Judges
Sedgwick and Barnes listen to the
voice of the press for once. We
want Lindsay* appointed clerk.

There will be a series of sermons
on “Modern Nations and Events in
Prophecy*’ given in the Baptist church*;
The first, on “Modern Europe in Proph
ecy,” "ill be giv-n Sunday evening,
Apiil 17, to be followed on theevening
of Sunday, April 24, by the “United
States in Prophecy.” Some years ago
by a careful and prayerful study of the
Book of Daniel, I came to an under
st tiding entirely different from that
usua’ly given either by the Adventists
or other exponents of modern events.
The rule of exposition followed enabled
me to forecast the result of the Turk
War of 1897 at its beginning in a ser
mon given at that time; at the smie
time 1 was able to forecast the war be-1
twe n the United States arpl Spain and
indicate »he dat« as tip* spring of 1898
and the fv>ult «s th«t the United State*
'ould become a world power. This
sermon was reported at Dow City, la.,
to a crowded house in the beginning of
our war with Spain, the city paper
printing large extracts from the pr^d'C
mils. These expositions carry the
history of world events down to 1943—
the beginning of uniyersal peace. The
present war between Russia and Jspan
and the probable war in the Bulkins
with Turkey will he noticed in their
criptural place and for .east of proba
ble resu.ts given. J?\ D, Kennedy.
