It is the same as that Introducel two years ago and 1atar mended to allply to Douglas : county a.lone and became what was i nown as the Dodge primary law. The f bill eont.1lns the original provisions - for a. state wide direct primary and lciocs a.way with conventions of every JSort , save when new parUes are termed or when special elections are held. It also provides for the reglstra. . tlon of voters. ' 3. Two meaSUl'es designed to regulate tile powers and duties of the railroad commission in Its regulation of common - mon carriers were Introdnced In the senate , If either bl11 passes and becomes - comes a law It will be necessary for the three railroad commissioners to again tnJeo the oath of offioe , thus do tng away with any question as to the rlgbt of Robert CoweIl of Omaha to In place on the comm sslon , A correspondent , writing of Spealt- er Nettleton , says : "Dorn November , 184.0 , ho attended school when he coutd and he studied at his home , grad-I , al1y accumulating a library , until now' ' 1ft Is said he has one of the finest prl. vate Hbrarles In the enUre state.

Senator Ifng has Introduced a bill to' change the Inw of the succession or : eslates , a bill that many cl1lb women of the state have mlvocated. The provisions - visions relating to de cent of ren ! . propert where husband or wire survive - vivo are that oue.fourth part shall go to the husband or wIre If the survivor Is not the parent of all the children of the deceased and there are ono or more children , or the Issue of ono or , more deceased children , surviving : ' secoud , one.thlrd part to the husband or wlfo If the survivor Is the parent of ftll the children of the deceased anll there be two or more children , or ono ' child and the Issue of one or more de- cea.sed children , surviving : third , one- balf to the husband or wIre If the survivor - vivor Is the parent of all of the chll- drcn of the deceased and there be only one child , or the Issue oC a deceased chlhl , surviving ; fourth , two.thlrds to the husband or wife Ir there be no child nor the Issue of any deceased child or children , surviving. A bill by Senator Root defines the qualifications of railroad commIssioners - . ers , providing that each shall recelvo I an annual salary of $2,500 , and the : commission may appoint a. secretary' , at a salary of $1,800 , and Inay appoint not more than two clerlts at a salary not to exceed $1,200 pel' annum each , and such other persons or experts as may be reCjulred of them In the admln- Islratlon of the law. No ono shall , bo qualified to hold the office of rallroa.d commissioner unless ho shall be a resIdent - Ident of this state , nor unless lie shall be at least 30 'ears of age ; her shall any person bo qualified to hold the or- : fic If he Is directly or indirectly interested - ested In an ' dllroad in this state or out of It , or In any stock , bond , mortgage - gage , security or earnings of any such road , or any telephone , express or telegraph - egraph company. There having been some question ns to ho\v the leglslaturo should buy' supplies , the chairman of th board of public lands nnd buildings was In. structed to notify the legislature that the law , as Interpreted by the board is that all such supplies shnll be bought through the board , and that the board is ready to furnish anything that the legislature desires In the way of legislatlvo supplies. The chairman and the secretary of the board will look after the work of purchasing. Affalrs of the state university are 1IImly to como in for considerable attention - tention , There is some talk for abolition - lition of the 1.mlll levy , giving the university In Its place a specific appropriation - propriation , UnJer the present plan of giving a I-mill levy there Is no wa ' the exact amount of money the university fund will receive can be determined - termined , and for that reason some of the members thlnlt It would be better for the regents to ask for a specific appropratlon. The liberality with which Governor l\lIcltey exercised the pardoning pow. er has given rise to a bill for . ' 1 st.1.te board of pardons , Introduced In the hQUSO by Mr. .Tennison. His measure provides for the appointment by the supreme court of this board , to consist - sist of three members , who will mere- I ) ' have the right to suspend sentence until the next session of the legislature - lature , when it shall decide whether a pardon shall bo granted. The senate chairmanship of the railroad committee , about which there had been some contention , Was given to A. Wllsoy of Ii'rontier count . . It was ho who introduced in the senate' the resolution providing Cor the arrest - , rest and exclusion of "lobbyists" found in that part of the st.1te house under the jurisdiction of the senate and for the punishment of employes , who act as lobbyists , . Supporters of the bullt sales bill are active In its behalf. It has the en. ; dorsemont of the wholesale dealers of , the state , and provides that before a merchant shall soU his stocl , In bulk he must notify his creditors of his Inton. tlons , The btU that was IttUed pro- , vlded ho must file with the county clerk of his county his Intentions to' seU five da's before the deal was c1qsed.

"And they asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord.- I These words explain why Israel failed to keep herself free from unholy alliances , and It Is the explanation of every misstep of the Christian to.day. The world Is able to bamboozle - boozlo the children of God be. cause they look on the evidence which the world submits , rather than looking to God who giveth wisdom to all men for the ask- Ing. Ing.To To Israel the case seemed so plain , I suppose , that It seemed positively silly to ask God about It. Like the little boy who prayed for the protection of God only at night , because durIng - Ing the day he could take care of himself , so the Israelites thought that In the present situation - ation they needed naught but their own judgment In deciding t their course of action. t And It was just when they felt the wisest and most able to take care of themselves that the enemy turned the trick upon them. . . Life Is full of mistakes and tragedies because everybody else and everything else Is con. suited rather than the source of all light and all wisdom. But how Is God to be consulted - ed about everything ? By subordination of the per. sonal Inclination and the con- sclous recognition of a higher will and higher purpose than our i own. own.By By diligent use of our God. given powers , while at the same time there Is an appreciation of the limitations of human wisdom - dom and judgment. By the exercise of patience. Take time to decide a point at Issue. A misstep Is taken through haste which prevents a clear reading of the sign-post at the Intersection of the ways. By the spirit of prayer pervading - vading the life , Pray without ceasing Is the Scriptural admo- nition. How ? Surely not stayIng - Ing on bend d knee In the se. cret chamber and audible repetition - tition of words and phraGes. S rely not by going about with closed eyes and mind absorbed in spiritual contemplations. Sure. Iy not by any outward cloal < of sanctimoniousness. No. What then ? Prayer is communion with God. And that communion con. slsts In the conscious and unconscious - conscious domination of God In the life. It marks the perpet. ual attitude of the soul , so , that whether Immersed In business for the time being , or what not , God's spirit Is operative In the I life. This is prayer without ceasing. + + + . . + + + + + + + + + + . + + + . . t-t + + THE STORY. THERE seemed no way but for the GilJOonltes to joint forces with the federated kings ill the prDposed war UIOn Joshua and the armies of Israel. Never before had the entire country between Jordan and the great sea been so aroJlsed as at the present time. Tidings of the coming of the hosts of Israel had reached the land whlle yet the Israelltef : ! were In the wilderness far to the south and wesl , but since the miraculous crossing of the Jordan and the destruction or Jer. Icho and AI the vague fears which had filled the minds of the Inhabitants - ants had taken definite Corm In the desperate resolve to unlto and give battle to Israel. That very day a deputation from the Itlngs of the HItUles , the Amor- : Iles , the Canaanites , the Perlzzltes , the Jebusltes , and others of the less. er t.rlbes of the countr ' urged them to make alIIanco In the common cause against Israel. "It Is plain , " the messengers said , 'that these Hebrews seck war. 'I'hey alTogalo unto themselves great 1m. JJQI'tance , and have openly declared contempt for our gods. They have ( Iestroyed .Jerlcho and AI with the In. habitants thereof , and they would dose so to us , And because of this , oh , men of Glbeon , the Itlngs of all the : country to the north and south and I along the coast of the great sea are : raising a great arm ' to give battle to : Israel , and have sent us to urge that 'our fighting men join them In this : I war. " This speech of lhe messenger ! ! was ' received with evident Caver by the chief men of Glbeon who had been called together In councll , and they would at once have given : lssent to the 111 an , had not old Second.Thought , as he was called-because of his InvarIable - varIable habit of saying : "Don't bo In haste ! Think It over ! 'I'hlnk It over ! " -counseled delay ! "Wo wfll bo bolter able to give IlnSWel' In the morning , after we have considered w11 the matter , " ho urged , and to this the rest had finally rolllct- nntJr agreed , and later , when they ) md come togNhPl' to tallt the matter ever , old Second.Thought suld : "We nil know the mighty things 1 - - whlt'h the people or Israel have < IonCi right before our oyes. Surol ' their Oed Is a mlght . Oed thnt ho could malte 11. Imthwa ' through the Jordan and lead his people dry shod right In our very midst. Wo have seen the smoke of Jericho atHl AI nscondlns Into heayen , nl\l wo know that the strong armies of those cities could not. stand before Joshua nnd his man. 'I'hen wh ' . should wo hope to bo moro successful tlmn they ? And oven though the armies of the allies should bo victorious , our country would bo devastated , for It Is hero that the battle - tlo would bo waged. Let us mnko lengue with Israel and tlms save our lives nnd our clt . . "Dut , " quickly InteflJOsed several voices , "havo you not heard that Is. rael will make no league wiU. any or the Inhabitants of the land , saying that their God has forbidden IU" " 'I'rue , " assented the old sage , unperturbed - perturbed by the seemingly Insurmountable - mountable difficulty , "but let us disguise - guise ourselves and como to them as from a far country. 'Ve shall lJUt old sacks upon our asses , and old shoes nnd old garments upon us , and wo shall take old and rent wino bottles - tles al\l dr ) ' and moldy bread , and' wo will como to them , and tell them that wo have heard In the far country - try the fame of their Oed and how , mightily ho has wrought and wo have como to pay homage to him and to worship him. PBrndventure they wl1\ \ hear us and will make league with , us. " 'I'hls plan at once met the approval of the chleC men of OIbeon , and the next morning when the ' had sent the messengers of the Itlngs away they at once began prelmrntlons to carry out. the plan. And the ' went to Joshua unto the camp at Gllgal. 'I'helr arrival created no liltle stir , and qucltly ( Joshua and the chief men assembled , and the strangers were admitted to their pres- enc , and to the statement that they had come from a far country , Joshua made answer : "Our God has commanded us saying that wo should not make lenguo with any of the Inhabitants of the land. Peradventure yo dwell among us. " "Nay , but from a far country are thy servants come , " they repIled. "De- cause of the name of tho' Lord thy God are we come. 'Vo have heard the fame of him and all that he did In Egypt , and all that ho did to the two kings of the Amorltes that were beyond Jordan , to Slho11 Itlng of Hesbon , and Og king of Dashan , which was at Ashtaroth. 'Vherefore .our elders and all the Inhabitants sl1ultO to us , saying : 'TaIte victuals with you Cor the journey , and go to meet them , and say unto thorn : We are your servants , Therefore now make a league with us. ' " "Na ) ' , " interrupted Joshua , "but how do wo know that yo have come from a far country ? " Dramatically they turned , and liftIng - Ing the covers from their provision baskets , they said : . "Dohold the evidence of our long journey. See this our bread we took hot out of the ovens on the day wo came forth lo como hither , and behold now it Is dry and moldy. SeQ these bottles of wine ! When they were tIlled as wo started they were now , and behold , now they bo rent. And behold our garments and our shoes , ' . for they have become old and ragged by reason of the very long journey. " Such seemingly Indisputable ovl. dence quickly swept away all doubt from the minds of the men who stood with Joshua , and they persuaded him that it would be well at once to make league with these people , Joshua therefore made peace wIth them , and made 11. league with them to let them live. And the men gathered with him , the princes of the congrega. tlon , ratified the league. During all this tlmo the people or Israel were talldng one with another concerning the coming at these strangers , and as they saw them depart and learned that a league had been made with them , they selected some oC tbolr number to follow these men , a thing which had not occurred to Joshua or to' the princes with him to do. As a result on the third day when these men returned they reported that the strangers had dealt with them deceitfully - ceitfully and had not come from a far country , but were really their neighbors living only a short dlstanco from Gllgal. And they were wroth with Joshua and the princes for makIng - Ing the league and were for going at once against the Gtbeonltes , for , said they : "Thero Is rich spoil In their cities which should bo ours. " Dut Joshua and the princes because of their oath which had been given , would not Iermlt ) them so to do , but made the Gt eonltes servants , that they would work for them continually. Makes Great Gains. Cheering news comes to hand of the progress In Japan , ntshop Har- rls , who has charge of the American Methodist Missions In Korea and Japan , says that during the recent war the churches made great gains In membership , and that they are 'now unusually active In evangelistic efforts. As regards audiences , minis. tel's of churches , bapUsms , and the circulation of the Scriptures , things have not been so bright for a long time ; and the gospel IS receiving a better hearing than at any period since Its Introduction a generation ago , Another very healthy feature of Japanese Christianity reported by the Hecord of Christian Work , Is the steady progl'ess towards independence - enco of foreign aid , In 11. shalt time It Is hoped that the Jallaneso churches will ho self-sustaining , ancl even become missionaries. sending out natlvo teachers to China and Koren. . - - " " - . . , . , , . . . _ ' \ , TRADE AT HOME - Why Farmer Should Give His Support to the Local Merchant. - PRESERVES HIS OWN MARKET - .

Send your money to the catalogue houses and you may look for the reverse. The picture tells the story of the possibilities. They do not help to build school bouses for your children ; the local merchant docs. They do not assist In the support of your churches ; the local merchant does. Dut there are some things the catalogue - loguo houses do for you and the first atHl greatest of these Is to assist materially in banltruptlng your com- munity. 'rho dollars they take awa ) . never come back to you , 'l'hey will never help to make a city of your vil- lago. They will never Increase the value of your realestato holdings by making local Improvements. Lot us look at the subject from the standpoint of the farmer , Cor It is the farmer who Is the gr.alest patron of the catalogue houses , The town or vlllago one , two or three miles from his homo Is bls mar. kot for the huller and eggs and other produce of his farm. ' 1'ho halt dozen or moro merchants of the town , each anxious to obtain his Cull share of the business of the community , maintain a competition thet affords to the farmer at all times top prices for the products of his farm , It Is these halt dozen merchants that malte farm profits posslhlo ; the profits are In no way due to the catalogue houses of the cities. lJut the farmer persists In sending his dollars to the city. lIe wants a bugb'Y , or a set of harness , or a pall' oC stockings , or any of the necessities or luxuries of Ufe , and to get them ho takl1.s out his mall order catalogue and loolts at the fInely Ilrinted cuts , reads the well written description , and , pass. Ing the local merchant by , the mer. chant who has 11IIrchased his produce Ilt the best marltOt prices , the mer. chant who has helped to build the community , l"e sends his dollars to lhe catalogue house In the city and talws what they cheese to send him , What Is the result ? Ono after another the doors of the local stores are closed , and where atone ono time there were nalt a dozen mer. chants , each bidding for his share of palronage hy offerIng fair prices for that which the farmer had to sell , there Is now but olle merchant who enl ' of the sell- has a monopoly , not - Ing' , but oC the IJll 'lng as well , and he 11I's what. he 1)leasulJ fOl' the farmer's produce , The fal'/11ol' can continuo to send his money to the catalogue house In the elt y fOl' his Sllllllll's , but ho cannot Den c1 his Nod uce to the same Illuce. .
