GRAND RAPIDS LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
Again find myself seated to speak through
The medium OF pen, ink and your paper 10
many readers and friends IN an Buren.
For a few weeks pas; there has been compar-
atve quiet in Grand Rapids, with nothing
more than couple of fatal cases CT smallpox,
but which by the careful and energetic move
ments OF the Board OF Health, has been pre-
vented from spreading and the excitement
caused has passed away.
We were favored few days since with Wis
il from the great infidel, Bob. Ingersoll. He
did not draw much OF a crowd and was not very
well spoken OF by the city press, and generally
did not give much satisfaction; but the partial
reply made by Rev. ;. Graves, ID. d., CT the
Baptist church, did give general satisfaction
and was well spoken of by the city press. HIS
remarks were made from the following passage
OF scripture 'Abhor that which is evil, and
ceave to that which is good. Romans, 1919.
To simply say tha. he treated him in a mastery
and al the same time christian manner is all
that s necessary, he exhibiting true christian
spirit, as well as thoroughly logical manner
of treatment.
Business is not as b-isk as before the hoIi
dayslbut still everything is moving steadily on
with a fair prospect Of rush when spring
opens. Three new furniture factories are now
well under way

which was partially burned out the first CT the
winter, Is again rebuilt and ready for business
would not wish 10 close this without saying
word with regard TO the work that is beng
done by the Y. NJ. c. \. of this city. Every
Sabbath at 81 o'clocl; they hold gospel meet
ings in both the 8. II. and |. r. r. depots the
one being upon the east side and the other on
the west side. At these meetings. which are
truly interesting many are searching for and
finding the way OF eternal life. At five o'clock
the Young mems meeting at the Y. NJ. &. A..
rooms, where again we have spiritual and
soul-reviving time Monday. Thursday and
Saturday evenings are regular meetings OF the
Association, in which we think much good is
being done, and the work is spreading TO the
different churches throughout the city, gen
eral spirit OF revival pervading the various So
cieties.

How Noble Dog Rescued Captain Jack Craw-

How Noble Dog Rescued Captain Jack CraW-
ford, U. s. A.
[san Jose Dispatch to Denver Tribune.]
Last Monday, a number of soldiers
went from Fort Craig to the Rio Grande
for bath. Among them was Captain
Jack Crawford. After being in the water
about three quarters Of an hour Captain
Jack started to cross toward the other
side over a sand bar, on which the wa
ter was only from six inches to a foot
deep. Several of the others followed
Jack, and they had considerable fun
tripping each other and rolling over in
the water, while two Of the boys got
Jack down in the shallow water and
tiCkled him in the ribs until he was
nearly exhausted with laughter, he being
very tiCklish. In order to get away from
his tormentors Jack rolled over toward
the deep water on the lower edge of the
bar, and when he got upon his feet he
kept backing down stream, and although
there was not over two feet Of water
where he stood, yet the current was so
strong that it would carry him down
should he lose his footing, He kept
splashing water on those who had been
tickling him, and bantering them to come
on after him, when suddenly he made
two or threa desperate efforts to get back,
but failed. Yethhe said not word, or
the others might have joined hands and
reached for him, No one dreamed for
moment that he was trying to extricate
himself from the qhicksand. All at once
he went down like piece Of lead, Even
then we thought he had taken dive,
until hewas under water longer than q
man would' willingly stay, and, indeed,
no one would have noticed this patticu.
larly had we not heard peculiar sound,
more like the roar Of lion than any.

had intended to do, and then goes to in.
fliCt his presence on some other unfortu-
nate creature.
In this manner the speaker went over
the whole ground and catalogue Of un'
pleasant mOrtals, whose mission 1t seems
is to make others unpleasant, giving nu'
merous laughable and pat incidents to
illustrate his meaning
In all these instances the lecturer de-
sCribed persons of opposite disposition,
his object being to show the great differ
ence in the manner in which people look
at life, and how far it lay in our power
to make life pleasant. He stated that
this world is a pleasant one if we look
at it in the right way. Put your finger
down on any part Of the map, and the
part of the world corresponding to it is
bright Religion and civilization are
advancing, and the world is daily grow
ing better.
The speaker closed his remarks by
thanking the audience for their kind
ness and attention, and invoking Gods
blessing on them.
PITHY SAYINGS,
Among Mr.. Talmage's pithy sayings
were the following
am always glad got aboard this
planet.
Some people are not happy unless they
are miserable.
Society will bear anything sooner than
bear.
No man is we'll hammered who has no
respect for ones circumstances,
A man who can sing and won't sing,
deserves to be sent to Sing Sing.
A man who abuses horse deserves to
be kicked by mule.
The pickpocket who roos you OF your
purse is more of gentleman than he
who rObs you of your good humor.
The bore who speaks on all occasions
probably does so because Balaam's trav'
cling companion spoke.
The man who eats hearty meal at 10
or II O'Clock at night, cannot be in a
good humor. Modes of diet often affect
dispositions.
The fault fader is like the horse that
frets till he ashes himself into sweat
and is covered with foam, while the 9TH
er horse beside him pulls Carelessly and
steadily ahead.
man who has an occasional fit of
the blues can be endured, for we know
that the sun will soon shine, but no one
can stand 365 days of drizz.e.
Oftwo men, one with a capital of 500
600 and bad manners, and one who
starts with no capital and good manners,
the latter will succeed best.
The man who always has something
unpleasant to say, is meaner than the
man who, when asked to take drink,
replied that he did not drink, but would
take cigar and the other three cents.
l once thought a literary lecture was
necessarily profound, but have chang
ed my mind, and have not for long

two reasons: when l had finished, my
audience did not know what l had been

self.

AETER KATE AND YoUND J,HN.

Omaha, Aug. 2.-Sheriff Gregg, of
Dodge county, who arrested old Bender
(the outlaw and his wife, who are now
in Fremont Jail. was in this city yester-
day hunting up the trail of young Ben
der and his wife. They were seen with
team and wagon in company with old
Bender and his wife, who were on foot,
near Schuyler, and they parted near
there shortly before Daniel Condor in.
formed Gregg of their suspicious in
quiries about the Bender family of Kan
sas. Mr.. Gregg has since learned that
the young couple crossed the river at
Omaha, with a wagon and team, and
went into Iowa, no doubt en- route for a
place of meeting agreed upon by them
and the old folks. They had team of
one gray and bay horse, and a colored
wagon. tits understood that Condor is
following on their track.
Sheriff Gregg says that when he ar.
rested the old couple he rode up to them
and said, Hello, Kate" The woman
replied, II amt Kate Benderp Gregg
believes he has a sure tning on the old
man, but thinks the woman is Bender's
mistress, and that they have killed his
wife. Old Bender was German, and had
a big scar on the center of bis forehead.
The prisoner at Fremont has scar but
swears he does not know word of Ger.
man. A German was put into a cell
with instructions to curse him in his ma.
tive tongue, Old Bender forgot himself,
and swore terifically at the man in Ger.
MAJ. Bender asked for a razor to
shave, but Gregg, fearing he would com,
NIT suicide, refused, and had barber
shave him.
Sheriff Gregg is determined to cap
ture young Bender, and it is understood
$25, 1000 reward is offered for the whole
gang. Of this amount, $l1 900 is offered
for the old man.
