The arid land that can ha irrigated and thus made pr< ductive, will include the larger portion of each state visited, in all over 100,000,000 acres. The work of the committee will be the preparation of a report upon the advisability of con¬ gressional appropriations for surveys in the arid districts.

Then there was a scene of wild excitement and the panic seizing all on board, they began leaping rapidly down the mountain side. Five or six persons who remained on the car were uninjured, as when the load was partially removed from the car it stopped before reaching tho foot of the ridge. Mrs. Mary Adams, of Casey, Illinois, in jumping from the died. car, received injuries from which she Wm.

AN ATTEMPT TO HOLD AN ELECTION SQUELCHED BY UNITED STATES TROOPS. A special from Oklahoma to tho Kansas City Times says: “Saturday was one of the most exciting days in the history of the city. About six weeks ago a faction of citizeqs, after failiug to induce the council to call for a convention for tlic purpose of framing an amended charter, funned one themselves and called an election for the people to vote on it. As it provided for the immediate ousting of iho present city government, United States troops, under authority of General Merritt, prevented tho election. Jhe original charter faction called an election on tlicir charter for Saturday, again without the consent of the mayor nnd council. General Merritt again sent or¬ ders to Colonel Snyder to proveLi the election, aud Captain Stiles, in command of the troops, carried out these orders at the point of the bayonet. Tho polls weie opened, and a large crowd assem¬ bled. A number of persons endeavored to vote, when Captain Stiles threw his company across the street and guve the command to charge. The company en¬ countered no opposition to their prog¬ ress. The leaders of the Charter faction then rushed to another place and declared iho polls opened again. Captain Stiles repeated his charge, and again cleared tho street. This operation was repeated ut other wards where the faction at¬ tempted to vote, but were routed each time by the troops. The leaders of the charter faction, after consulting with Captain Stiles, then advised the crowd to disperse. The advice was followed and the excitement subsided. Nino of the leaders were afterwards arrested on the charge of conspiracy against the au¬ thority of tho United States and city eovernments. TOO FAST.

Tiie attention of tbe acting commis¬ sioner of Indian affairs, at Washington, wn , on Friday, called to the press re¬ ports that a largo number of half-breed Cherokee Indians, in the state of Geor¬ gia, are making preparations to emigrate to the Cherokee nation in the Indian territory.

Parties claiming rights of citi¬ zenship in the Cherokee nation by blood, would be warned against incurring the Expense of removing to said nation be¬ fore their claims are allowed by the uroper Cherokee authorities.” WILL TEST IT.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. f.vn R SAT ION A Tj LESSON FOR CCTOmER V. Lesson Text: “ The Tribes United Under David. 15 Ham. v., 1-13 —Golden Text: Ps. cxxxiii,l —Commentary. 1. “Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron,” After the death of Saul and his sons, as recorded in the last les¬ son, the way seemed open for David to take the throne to which he had beeen anointed years before, and for which he had so pa¬ tiently waited; not taking matters into his ow n hands and ridding himself of his enemy as he might have done oil several occasions, but calmly waiting God’s own time and way; and now that the time for his accession to the throne has come, he will not even go up into any of the cities of Judah without inquiring; of the Lord, so careful is he in this matter to follow and not run before Him who hath chosen him. Tho Lord having told him to go up to Hebron, he went thither with his men and all their families, and there the men of Judah anointed David Kingover the house of Judah (chap. ii.. 1-4), and he W’as content to Ihj King only of Judah for seven years and six months, one of Saul's sons reigning for two years over the rest of Israel (chap, u.,10, 1J); so there was long war between the house of Haul and the house of David; but David waxed stronger and stronger,and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker (chap, iii., 1). Now. at length the Lord’s time has come for David to be King of all Israel, so all the tribes come to him to Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are thv bone and thy flesh.” “When Saul w as King over us, thou wast lie that leddest out and brougbtest in Israel.” They remembered how David, and not Haul, slew Goliath and delivered them from the Philistines, and how David after¬ ward h it forth so successfully the armies of Israel <1 Sam. xvili); but the wonder is that they they did not think David of this King sooner. Why did not crown of all Israel as soon as Haul was dead? Vf rhy allow seven years aud six months to pass unimproved when they knew that these things concerning David were undisputed? “And the Lord said to thee, thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.” Why, then, not car¬ ry out the Lord’s wishes long ere this? Let the questions come home. 3. “They anointed David King over Is¬ rael.” Ho the Lord had decreed, and so it finally o. mo to pass, for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed. 4. “David was thirty years old when he Then began to reign, and ho reigned forty years.” all his rejection, humiliation and suf¬ ferings came t«» him as a young man; so it w as also w ith Jesus our Saviour and coming King. Young men and women are apt to think it hard to have to suffer and be humil¬ iated; let them remember David and Jesus, and that it is written: “It is good for a man that he “Take bear My the yoke yoke in his youth;” and again: meek and upon lowly you and heart.” learn or Me, for 1 am in (Lam. iii., 27; Matt, xi., 39.) 5. ‘In Hebron * * * seven years ana six month: ; and in Jerusalem * * * thirty-three years.” It is places very with profitable in Bible study to associate the events which occurred there. Hebron, a city of Judah, some twenty miles'south of Jerusalem, will ever be a delightful because place of to David’s the Bible student, not only two anointiugs and iiis seven years’ reign, but also because of its earlier associations with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Joshua and Caleb; there lies, still sacredly guarded, the dust Machpelah . f the patriarchs, shall and from the cave of yet come forth their glorified bodies. Jerusalem, of all cities that have ever been or ever will be, stands first; there our Lord was crucified, there Hi* precious blood flowed forth, in Pilate’s hall, in Gethsemane and on He Calvary, there He was buried and there rose from the dead; from thence He ascended to the right hand of God, ami thither He shall return in power and glory to rebuild Zion, make Jerusalem His throne, and consequently the capital of the whole earth. (Ps. cii., 16; Jer. iii., 17,18.) ft. “And the King Jebusites.” and his men went tc Jerusalem with the The old name of Jerusalem was Jebus; it was a great stronghold, Judah and we read Benjamin that could neither the children of nor drive out tbu inhabitants, but they were allowed to dwell there with Judges Israel (I Chron. xt, 4, 5; Josh, xv., 63; i., 21.) ' This was a standing tlisgrace to Israel during alf their history since Joshua led them into the land up to this time; and now, when David de¬ termines to wipe out this disgrace, he is told by these defiers of God and His people that the blind and the lame are able to hold the fort against him. 7-9. “Nevertheless, David took the strong¬ hold of Zion; * * * so David dwelt in the fort who and in the called it of the the City God of ot David.” He name Israel slew Goliath went forth in the same great name against these enemies of God and proved the faithfulness of Him who said: “There shall no man be able to stand before Thee.” (Deut. vii., 24.) 10. “And David went on and grew great. and the Lord God of Hosts was with Him.” Thus shall our daily life be a going and grow¬ ing; but wo shall never get to it till. , like David, we realize that “The Lord God of Hosts is with us,” and firmly believing this, seek with the whole heart a more intimate acquaintance with Him, and thus cultivate a more implicit reliauce_upon Him. 11. “And Hiram, King of Tyre, sent mes¬ sengers to David, and cedar trees, and car¬ penters, and masons; and they built David an house.” Here is a Gentile King and his people, coming cheerfully to the King of Israel to do him honor; thus shall it be, as the prophets everywhere tell us, when the kingdom shall have been restored to Israel. 12. “David perceived King that Israel, the Lord had established him over and that He had exalted His kingdom for His people Israel’s sake.” Notice in this verse two things: First, that the Lord had done it all; it was not David’s patience or wisdom or might, but the Lord alone that did it sa; and, second that it was done for His people Israel’s sake. When we tell Christians of to¬ day of the great things that God is going to do for Israel's sake, we are apt to be consid¬ ered decidedly Jewish in our for views; but Jew¬ ish wo will be. nevertheless, our Saviour is a Jew and King of the Jews, and Scripture does not authorize us to expect the so called am version of this world until Jesus comes to His long promised Throne of David.— Lesson Helper.
