Na unn aiifjr nation nas grown up rrom a smalt tribe and become powerful and for n time held the destiny of the world In its hand, only to be suimlatited nnd dis appear. Continents have been discovered nnd Mopld with millions of Inhabitants. All this ' and much more has happened xlnce these wonderful words were uttered, anil yet the prophetlo finger points to the iuture. The mnlesty,. beauty and divtneness of tlilH statement Is brought strikingly before urt when- W4 remember that the vast mil lions or tee christian .churcn for the past 1M years have been striving to fulfill this prophecy, and yet today we cannot write In OUT Bibles opposite these words, "Finished." Still, this glorious vision of the prophet rises above us as the mountain peak abovo the valley and points to the future and urges the whole church of God on to Its fulfillment. The gospel is flying with the majesty of a storm and yet with the sweet Influence of a summer day over the continents and nations are being born to. God In a day, ss it were. . . . in view of rhls. should we not on this, our ThankssMvlnir day. "Make a' Joyful noise unto the Lord and come before His presence with singing." Emerson once said: "God's latest charity to man Is America." so, may we feel that this unfolding truth of God's love Is most iverl'ectly seen In the history and splendid progress of our own nation. Realising that the Unltefl. states is a miracie anions na tions .and that by clean living and high Ideals what she has done In the past ,,!ay be duplicated -and even exceeded In the future, we should bs full of thankful ess t God for the splendid past and for lie opportunity -of tha future. .

By Its defeat yesterday the Bluffs boys lost their chance for the pennant In the suite high school champion ship race and will now have to be content with third place. The game was -a fast one from start to finish, but the boys from Des Moines proved, too fast tor the Bluffs lads, and, besides that, outweighed them nearly ten pounds to a man. Despite these odds, the Bluffs team put up a rattling' game and during the greater part of the flrst half It looked as If the visitors would be defeated. The game was witnessed by a crowd of something over 1,000, the cold weather keeeplng many away who had bought tickets. Captain Nlcoll won the toss for the home team and chose the north goal. Macomber kicked off. The Bluffs boys were unable to gain and Nlcoll punted, Des Moines re turning the ball about twenty yards. TTy a series of line smashes the visitors ad vanced the ball to the twenty-yard line, when Macomber kicked a goal from the field, making the score 4 to 0 In favor of Des Moines. Des Moines then kicked the ball to Cooper and Council Bluff pulled Itself together and made a number of good, gains by Hawkins, Cooper, Cutler and Benjamin. The Bluffs team, however, was forced to punt and Nlcoll kicked the ball over the' line, where one of the Des Moines j team attempted to . fall on It. but was 1 nlcly Interfered with by Williams long ! I enough to allow DJmmock to fall on It and secure a touchdown for the Bluffs team. Nlcoll then kicked a very difficult goal.

In the second half the Des Moines team resumed its line smashing tactics, and the Bluffs boys were unable to stand the line plunges of Macomber, who made big gains through both sides of the line. Gradually the visitors forced the locals back toward their goal, until, when within about twelve yards, Macomber was forced through for a touchdown, but he failed to kick goal.

Sweney, who married the divorced wife of R A. Bull of Omaha and then was arrested on a complaint filed by Ball be- I fore Justice Gardiner, charging him with "knowingly marrying the wife of another." will have a hearing this morning. On be half of the defendant the facts in the case are admitted and th" outcome depends entirely upon the question of ths applica tion of the Iowa statute under which the charge was brought. Counsel for Ball, the prosecuting witness, contend that as under the Nebraska law Mrs. Ball could not re- 1 marry until . after the expiration of six I months following the issuance of the de cree, the decree did not become effective until after the six months and until It did Mrs. Ball was. In the eyes of the law, the wife of Ball. On behalf of gwency. U is contended that under the Iowa law a pr son can remarry Immediately following the Issuance of a decree of divorce and that us the marriage of Sweney and Mrs. Ball took place in Council Bluffs It was per fectly legal and that the charge against Sweney cannot stand.

Heretofore each house has had a committee which has looked after Inviting ministers, securing a different one each' morning for the most part. It Is learned, however, that some of the old soldiers think the soldiers' prefer ence lew should apply to this service the same as to any other, and have arranged to assert their rights. I'nless level-headed members of the Grand Army of the Repub lic and the old soldiers of the state are suc cessful In prevailing on tiiem to abandon their Intention It Is confteaed that they are likely to embarrass tho.'commlttees of the legislature and, furthermore, v.jk for the repeal of the old soldier preference law. In addition to these old soldiers there Is a host of others who are arranging to ask th? legislature for positions of doorkeeper, clerks, assistants and Janitors. About one-half of the Janitors and door keepers have been old soldiers In the pat. but a large number of tha clerks are not. In fact, very few of. the clerks are old sol diers. George A.

Tho United States authorities In this city were today advised of a desperate attempt which was made early this morning to rob the postofflce at Hart ford, situated a short distance west of Sioux Falls. The robbers gained access to the building and succeeded In blowing the outside shell of the safe off, but before they could prepare another quantity of explosive and get Into the safe they must have been frightened, as they abandoned further efforts and fled. Two men are supposed to have been Implicated. It Is believed they are the same men who recently made an unsuc cesfvil attempt to rob banks at Tea and Spencer, small towns In this vicinity. From the . fact that tley do not appear to understand the mechanism of the safes Which they attempted to crack. . It la thought they are amateurs at the business of safe blowing.
