Discrepancy in
Accounts of Official
The state affairs committee, in con
ducting its work of investiaation of
the management of the departments
6f the state government under the pre
ceding administration, found what ap
peared to be a discrepancy of $647.50
in the accounts of the secretary of
state. When Robert Osborne, who was
Mr. Bassett's chiof clerk, was called in
he was astonished, saying there could
be no such discrepancy. He was asked
to go over the matter with the account
ants employed by the committee, and
when this had been done he was satis
fied there was a discrepancy. A number
of items were readily explained, how
ever, bringing the total down to $533.35.
Mr. Bassett was also before the com
mittee and assisted in clearing up the
matter so far as he could and an
nounced his readiness to pay over any
sum for which he should be found to he
responsible.
Mr. Bassett explained, in talking
with a representative of the Statesman,
that this apparent discrepancy grew
out of unpaid accounts. After the new
fee law for the filing of articles of incor
poration went into effect it was a long
time before persons making such filings
understood what the rates were. Many
articles were sent in for filing accom
panied by the old fee of $10. The pa
pers would be filed and the pex-son who
had sent them notified of the balance
due. In mahy instances these balances
had not been remitted. In other eases
persons sending in articles had been
trusted and had failed to remit. Mr.
Bassett faid he fully realized he was re
sponsible for such unpaid accounts, hut
he was astonished to find they had
reached such a sum.—Statesman.

A Sermon.
Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church.
March 1, 1003, by the Rev. Will Stuart Wilson,
□ Pastor, from 1 st Corinthians 9:16.
Probably in no character was there com
bined a loyalty to his master and a perfectly
consistent independency of character that we
Und exampled in the Apostle Paul. Paul was
absolutely fearless where Paul was concerned
and as absolutely subservient in his relation to
the Christ. Paul was at once the "freeman"
In Jesus Christ, and the "slave'' of Jesus
Christ. Fidelity ruarhed Ins life and fidelity
crowned his death. * * * *
Paul's orthodoxy had been called in questio n
Nay, his very apostalate challenged by them
that did "examine" him. Heterodoxy has ever
been upon the lips of an alarmed, entrenched
bigotry since the world began. A cheap cry
hurled against Paul's Master when the haughty
Pharisee accused him of blusphemey as he ran
counter to the prevalent théologie dictum of
his day. The best men of all time since have
met it in their Christian work, induced by the
petty envyings of a confessedly smaller mind.
•Littleness" has ever been jealous of great
ness and has not lacked the barbed arrow of
medacious malice to wound. * * * *
There have been theologies without number:
confessions "ad inllnitum"; articles and creeds
innumerable-; modes of baptism many: Shibo
leths galore. These have their place and day,
they emanate from man they partake
but :
too often of his humanity rather than God
divinity. They have their place, but it is well
to remember ever, that though diverted as
they supposedly are, from Holy Writ, yet the
"deriver" in each case is a very human individ
ual and from his humanity liable to err. Never
should the confessing of man receive greater
emphasis than the revealed word of God: never
should humanity cloud Divinity. * * * *
Man grows in knowledge and in grace, or
man stands still. What yesterday held inviol
ate. today may possibly reject and tomorrow
materially alter. The 17th century could not
bind the 18th: neither could the 18th bind the
generations that followed it ecclesiastically or
otherwise.
Politically we deem it most unwise that one
generation should encumber succeeding ones
with the debris of their waste. Within the re
ligious realm this axiom is of equal weight.
Education and scientific research-with ''seven
league" boots encased, tire advancing with
giant strides. Scholarship was never more
assiduous or more universal in its scope and
following. Both are flooding revelation's story
with the brilliance of their new found light.
Through both is God revealing himself as never
in the past. "The heaveus declare His glory,
and the ttrmiment showeth His handiwork,"
yet never was God writ so large and legibly in
nature's wide domain as now and in the pres
ent seen. We would be blind indeed if we
reject so great and God-given illumination. * *
Tradition is possessed of many valued things
and it possesses the valueless as well. "What
was good enough for the Fathers" is the cry of
the reactionist and the demagogue. At times
the Fathers have indulged in "sour grapes''
and the children's teeth have been -set on
edge." Custom has sometimes raised a barring
hand against the message of an heaven sent
evangel. * * * *
The Ephesian had his custom and "great was
Dianna of the Ephesians'' within the Ephesian
mind. The 20th century differs not in this from
that of the 1st. If seeming difference there is
it is one of degree and not one of kind. The
colored brother on the plantation in the palmy
days before the war is a case in point. His
master hearing of his fame as a spiritual leader
of his kind, sought him out and besought him
earnestly, in his exhortations to remember and
bear down with especial weight upon the sin
of stealing. Zebulon hemmed and Zebulon
hawed and Zebulon hung his woolv head. Fin
ally he said. "Massa I just caint, I jus - got no
wampth in thatsubject/' 0 *
Messages are individualistic rather than full
orbed. The old time prophets had their indi
vidual message. Amos came to a guilty nation,
Isiah to a captive one. John preached repent
ance for the kingdom of heaven was at hand.
The Christ offered salvation as only the Son of
God could and the Savior of the world. Paul
carried that Master's message against which
neither the gates of hell "could avail nor power
estop the messenger/' ,;! "
Today this message is as powerful and as
needed as in any past age. "Woe. - ' to any
man who has been honored with it if he preach
not that message in all its purity and grace
Men eagerly desire it and sire earnestly seek
ing it. They come to the house of God, crav
ing its healing power, and "woe" to theambas
sador of "Him" who fails them in their need
A man seeks relief within the sanctuary from
the temptations and stings of sin. incident to a
busy and care-lilled life. Too often instead of
pure religion and undettled, he is ted ironically
with some theological treatise upon "Higher
Criticism/' or "Deutero Isaiah/' or a particu
lar mode of "Baptism" or sectarian pedigree.
He comes simply asking for bread and is given
these stones in reply. He wants help and re
ceives "hot air.' A l'raii woman comes, wear
ied with household cares and work that runs
from ' sun to sun" monotonious in continuity.
She sinks wearily into her seat and sighs for
rest. She too. is nauseated with this doubt
engendering "bullion" fare. A young man
comes defiled with sin, yet loathing its hideous
incipiency. in the full blush of abhorrence ere
he has learned to endure or to embrace lie
loathed thing. The "husks" have turned his
stomach and with longing he turns to the
Father's home. In his isolation and durance
vile, he has turned* with yearning unutterable
tor the Father's love and care. Oh, for the
purity and shelter of childhood's hour" is the
cry of his breaking heart. Somewhere he has
read that "casting all your care upon Him" you
may in the absolute assurance that "He careth
for you." He comes and "woe" be to that
"elder brother" who in this fatutitous manner
stands between t-lie "prodigal" and his "Lord/'
Better for him in truth that a millstone were
hanged about his neck and that he were cast
into the deepest sea. As well, soniefine morn
ing when we seek the breakfast board, might

beautifully theoretic discourse upon hygenie.
instead of the rolls and fragrant coffee which
the "old Adam - ' is demanding and in no uncer
tain tone of voice. The theory may be per
fectly charming, and the "vise a vise" the
same, yet the rolls and coffee are apt to re
ceive the preferanee. To have a sane mind
one of old has held that a necessary ooneem
mitaut is a sane body.
May God grant that amid the "Temptations
dire, mid wreck and wraith, we may be true to
the banner of Christian faith."
May this message of Paul's and this spirit of
Paul's animate both the message and the mes
senger of today. "Woe" to him if he preach
not the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the
power of God unto salvation in the 20th cen
tury as well as in the 1st,

Death of Mr. Simmons.
The following, if true, does not re
Hect credit upon our neighboring vil
lage:
Mountain Home, Feb. 19, 1903.
EDITOR HERALD:
\\ ill you please publish the following
statement regarding the death of H.
Simmons, who was killed by accident
ally falling from a passenger train on
the 13th instant, about 3 miles north of
Idaho Falls. Bingham county, Idaho.
On receipt of a telegram from my son
stating that Sir. Simmons was killed, I
left here, arriving at Market Lake, Fre
mont county, on the morning of the
14th On my arrival there I found the
officials of the two above-mentioned
counties quarreling ns to which county
should bury Mr. Simmons. I told these
two "Christian" gentlemen that Mr.
Simmons had sufficient money on his
person to give him a respectable burial.
The people of Market Lake whom 1
met, with the exception of four, are
certainly devoid of all God like training,
kindliness of heart or sympathy for
their fellow mortals I could not in
duce nor even hire any person to wash
and dress the body. Neither could I
get any of them to dig a grave—even
some of them were opposed to allowing
the remains of Mr Simmons to be in
terred in the cemetery—and had it not
been for the kindly assistance of tne
railroad agent, who got the Japanese
section employees to dig a grave, poor
Harry Simmons' body would have to
laid unbnried on the desert like the
brute beasts of that God-forsaken lo
cality.
Harry Simmons was not a hobo, nor a
disreputable person, but on the contrary
was a hard working man.
The conductor on the train, learning
that Mr. Simmons was not on board,
hacked down for three miles until the
body was found. He then took the
body to Market Lake and delivered it to
the agent, doing everything ho could in
the matter.
I want to express the sincere thanks
of Mr. Simmons' many friends and my
self for the able assistance, courteous
treatment and the many favors extend
ed to me by Mr. S. S. Carruthers, Mr.
Hoag and another gentleman whose
naine I have forgotten, also to Mr. M.
Patrie. C. W. Heyvkth.
A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. E. Fenner,
Marion, Ind . who was entirely cured
by the use of One Minute Cough Cure.
She says: "The coughing and straining
so weakening me that 1 run down in
weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried
a number of remedies to no avail until
J used One Minute Cough ('are. Four
bottles of this wonderful remedy cured
me entirely of the cough, strengthened
my lungs and restored me to my normal
weight und strength " Watson & Moore.

was far above, the anticipations of the
large audience which greeted the new

who had charge of the company.

Engineer's Close Call
The engineer at the Porter sawmill
in Island Park had a very narrow es
cape from being scalded to death on the
18th inst. The big boiler which had
just recently been sot up was supported
by timbers, the masonry work not being
completed, which gave away letting the
boiler down and breaking a four inch
elbow. The steam and water escaped
filling the engine room with steam and
blinding the engineer, who fortunately
was standing a few feet at one side of
the pipe when it bursted. Tie succeeded
in making his escape with only a dread
ful scare.

they do not deem it wise to repeal the
