HANNA SIGNS REQUISITION
Prosecution Scores Point In Alleged
Bribery Caee.
With Governor Hanna's action in
granting the application of Grand
Forks' authorities for requisition pa
pers on the governor of Oregon for
delivery of McLaln Cooper, under ar
rest at Hood River, Ore., to North

won the first round in the fight cen
tering about the attempt to convict
six men of bribery In connection with
tlie acquittal of McLain Cooper of
murder in Grand Forks two years
^80.
Governor Hanna held that the filing
of the complaint and warrant, di
rected against Cooper, were sufficient
on which to baBe the requisition.
Cooper's attorneys maintained that the

ernor West of Oregon.
The desire of the Coopers to avoid
aervice of papers in the $50,000 dam
age action against them, started by
Mrs. Charles Rocs, widow of the man
young Cooper killed, will be one of
the main points on which the fight
will he waged.

ing out of the acquittal of McLain

the money from Bangs, Mahon and
others with the express understand
ing that it waa to be used for purchas
ing liquor to influence the Jurymen.

1-3:

Mutt, xxv, 40. "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these.
M.v brethren, ye hui'e done It unto
Me." In the first and last sections of
this lesson we see women ministering
unto Him. and Mury of itethany, hav
ing done Iter part, found time to listen
to Ills teiK'ltiiiK. in the second section
we lenrn that serving Him means none
of self mid 110 looking Itnck.
LESSON V.—The Unfriendly Neighbor.
Luke xl. 1-13. Golden Text. I.uke xl.
D, "Ask. and it shall lie given you seek,
and ve shall find knock, and it shall
be opened unto you." A better title
for this lesson would be "The I'atlier

viil. VJ. If we honor llini. as in tin
first three petitions of the prayei
(verses 2-41. we limy count upoi. Illui
to lunkc good all the rest and verse l!J
also.
LESSON VI.—Darkness 11 ml Light
Luke xl, 14-'Jii xxxiii. :ir. (iolden Text
Luke Xl. 35. "Take heed, therefore
that the light which is in thee lie not
darkness." These religious |ieople
were so blinded by their own self
righteousness, which was really dark
ness and not light, that the.v could not
distinguish between God and the devil.
LESSON VI I. Christ's Hatred or
Shams. Luke xl. 37-,r4. Golden Text
(Jal. vi. 7, "He not deceived: God is
not mocked." There Is always a lov
ing welcome from the Lord Jesus for
till who iieniteutly turn to Him. but
for hypocrites, such as these Pharisees
and lawyers. He has the most severe
words—a welcome for sinners, but a
woe for the self righteous.
LESSON VIII. Faith Destroying
Fear, Luke xil. 1-12. Golden Text
Luke xil, 8, "Whosoever shall confess
Me before men him shall the Son of
Man also confess before the angels of
God." The hatred of the truly right
eous by the self righteous resulted in
expulsion from the synagogue and
even in death (John xvl. 2. but the
separation of soul and body was given
to the believer and not a thins to be
feared (Phil. i. 21-23).
LESSON IX.—Trusting In Riches and
Trusting In God. Luke xil. 13-34.
Golden Text, Luke xil. 34. "Where
your treasure Is, there will your heart
be also." It is still manifestly true
that, as a rule, men are more interest
ed in earthly things than in heavenly
tilings and act as foolishly as did the
man in this lesson. He who gives us
life may require It of us at any time.
LESSON X.—Watchfulness. Luke xil,
35-48. Golden Text, Luke xil, 37,
"Blessed are those servants whom the
Lord when He cometb shall find
watching." 111 verse 43 there Is also a
blesslug upon the one found doing.
When saved we are put In trust with
pounds and talents, and the Holy Spir
it Is given to us to dwell In us, work
In us and teach us. and our commis
sion is "Occupy till 1 come" (Luke
xlx. 13).
LESSOR XI.—The Lawful Dse of the
Sabbath. Luke xiii. 10-17 xlv, 1-0.
Go'den Text, Mark II. 27. "The Sab
bath was made for man and not man
for the Sabbath." Their greatest ac
cusations of Christ were that He made
Himself equal with God and. in their
estimation, dishonored tbelr Sabbath
(John X. 33-30 Ix. 14 v. 18). They
were so blinded by their own doings
that they could not see their need of
what He came to give them.
LESSON XIL—Lessons by the Way,
Luke xlll. 18-30. Golden Text Matt
vli, 21. "Not every one that salth
but he that doeth." There Is
much false teaching, and there are
mnny deceived people, and the only
safety Is by the Truth, which Is In
Christ Jesus, who Is Himself the
Truth. In Him Is Life end nowhere
else (I John v. 12i. and until we have
Life by truly receiving Him we can
do nothing to please Him.
