The death of him. He stopped to gaze at II
sweet cherub Of one hundred and fifty pounds,
with ears like tull-grOwn cabbage leaves, IL
mouth of much amplitude, and lungs of more
than Kcely motor power. While wondering
whether the infant would develop into prcsi-
cicnt of the United States or disgrace his dot
ing parents by joining base ball club, the
youngster opened his entire face back TO his ears
and set up yell. And such a yell. Before
The bachelor could hurry away, the mother
caught her infant in her arm, and crooncd,
What's the matter with mammals precious
petty-wetty! Did the nasty-pasty, ugly-plugly
man brighten mammy-wammy's darling baby

was not restored to consciousness for two

that under the constitutional amendment
adopted last fall, two Of our commission

are three to elect this fall. The constItu.

A Religious Book for Everybody.
Religion, and especially theological re-
ligion, is often served up in such q fash
ion as to be anpalatable to all who have
not cultivated a taste for it, but MIR. D. s.
Moody, the great reVivalist, has succeed
ed in making this subject attractive to the
masses. He has actually made the Bible
appear to be an interesting book; great
many people who used to read it from a
sense Of duty have learned by the help of
his Bible readings to study it for pleasure.
This rough-and ready evangelist has
the ear Of the people, and his sayings in
print are sure to have the eye of the peo-
pie. His name sells more books than any
other name in or out OF literature. The
volumes bearing 'Moodyn on the title
page already form quite library.
Hear is book: " Moody, His Words,
Work, and Workers." edited by Rev. Mr.
Daniels, OF Chicago, and published by
Nelson q Phillips, Of New York, which
contains the sum and substance Of Mr..
MoOdy's personal history, his revival
record, and his whole system Of theology.
II the great evangelist were to die to-day
this book would be his best monument.
No one else, as far as we have seen, has
attempted systematic arrangement of
all his sayin gs and doing. The prevalent
notion of the trade seems to have been, SO
many pages of Moody for so much money.
In this volume there is displayed no lit
tie skill IN arrangement, and conscien-
tiOus effort on the effort on the part OF the
editor and publishers to make the very
best book possible.
"Five books in one" says the prospec-
tus, and the prospectus Of this book is an
honest document.
Those who are fond OF Moody-and
who is not?-will enjoy this book. It is
true to the life, and brings the man him.

A CONTRAST.
Complimentary to Emporia i.


The Emporia papers are filled with adj
vertisements of the live business men OF
that city, almost to the exclusion Of read
ing matter. No better evidence of materi-
al growth and prosperity can be given
A newspaper destitute of live advertise
ments furnishes almost positive proof OF
decrepitude and decay. Wherever they
circulate they stand as solemn warning
to men of enterprise and capital to avoid
| the locality where the paper is published.
A community that won't advertise is Ell
Their dead or dying. Emporia has q fair
show OF becoming the metropolis OF the
southw OF Kansas, and making good
her boast Of being the railroad center OF
the State. Her citizens are active in push
ing forward public enterprises. Her mer-
chants evidently do business on the mod
ern progressive principle. Her lawyers
practice in aIl.the courts ofthe State; her
educators lecture in every county, and
her capitalists and men of brains are heard
all around us, urging the building OF q
road that will throw the wealth Of the
southwest into her lap and make her the
distributing point for this section. Which,
ita might well follow her example. She
is threatened with the loss Of the trade of
Butler, CowIey and portion of Sumner,
by the construction OF the road from EN-
por1a. During portion OF the year the
trade west Of the Nennescah seeks Hutch
insOn and Wellington because there are
no bridges across the streams. Hutchin-
son Is reach1ng out for the trade of Har-
per and Barbour counties, by means of
well constructed roads and bridges. Will
it do to trust to luck and destiny any long
er? There is no question about the build :
ing Of the EmpOria and Walnut Valley
railroad to Winfield or Arkansas City
within the next twelve or fifteen months.
We will lose instantly, upon its compile
ton, one-half of our present trade. What
will be done to make good this loss.
Is it not time to lCok around and prepare
for this? We are not croaking. There is
not man In the city but can see the dam
gers threatening this city in the near fu-
ture. EE cry man in Sedgwick county is
interested principally, in the growth and
prosperity of Wichita, and the city is SEN
sitive to the condition of the country.
Both mast operate together. The first
thing to be done is to bridge the Nennes-
cab at three points at least. There must
be no disagreement or jealousies about
this matter. We want these bridges for
this winters trade; after this our rail-
road.-Wichlta Beacon.
