When DIR. Tanner completed his 40
days fast at noon, Saturday, his weight
was 1911 pounds, loss of sc pounds in
40 DAYS. As soon as the time was up
the crowd cheered DR.. Tanner enthusi-
astically. There were about 1000 per-

on the sidewalk. He at once drank a
glass of milk, and called for Georgia
Watermelon. This he tapped, dug his
hand into, and ate heartily of it. When
demonstrated with, he asked to be left
alone, saying: "No, my Lord, l am

A POPULAR PREAcKER,-The Rev.
John Hall may be called the heaviestof
the Presbyterian clergy of New York
city, both in talents and weight. he
stands six feet high and is rather portly
even for his stature. In point of abil-
ity he has hardly an equal, at least in
that denomination with which he is
connected. Those who hear Hr. Hall
for the first time are surprised at his
simplicity of style. There is no at
tempt at what may be termed "the SEN
sational," and his sole power is that 6f
scriptural truth, presented with great
clearness aud earnestness. He can
hold the largest average congregation
in the city by presentation of scrip
ture themes in his simple and earnest
manner. In this respect he is very diff
ferent from either T4lmage or Beecher.
Hall has labored with such intense ap-
plicstion that he looks much older than
the record of his years. He is just fifty
one, and has preached in this city thir-
teen years. He came to a declining
church, but it soon was too small for its
congregation, and since then the latter
has built the largest Presbyterian
church in America. Hall is very liberal
in the use of his large salary, and were
it treble it would be none too great for
the claims to which he is subjected.
He receives SIS 900 year and his con-
gregation Can better afford to pay him
$50 900 than to lose man who draws
snch attentive crowds.-C6r. Utica

nuER TIE STATE

The law prohibiting the driving of
Texas cattle through the state Of Kansas
was decided unconstitutional by Judge
D. p. Lowe, of Fl Scott, in case recent
~ tried before him.
Newton Republican: On Saturday
night of last week, Harvey county, and
in fact all of central and western Kan
sas, was visited by one of the heaviest
rains of the season. The ground was
never in better condition and fall wheat

son has turned out grand success for
abundant and successful rains; and for
agricultural pursuits, one Of the best
ever known in Kansas.
The loss of COWS and other cattle in
and around Wichita, and in the country
is assuming large proportions In the
country the loss is confined principally
to the section through which the old ca
tie trail to Caldwell runs. The exac
character or name OF the disease is no
certainly known, but it is generally be
lieved to be what Is called Texas o
Spanish fever, and that it has been dis
seminated by lot of cattle said TO hav
been driven through after night, AM
shipped from the Wichita stock yards.

THE OLD TACTICS.

The tactics Of the opposition to the
Republican ticket in this county are the
same 40 those practiced by the Demo
cratic politicians everywhere for years.
The attempt is made first to cover their
own motives. and then TO raise dissen-
sions among the Republicans. This is
sought TO be accomplished by raising
the cry Of fraud and corruption. This is
an old trick and ought not To fool any
body. Men, who, by their own acts,
have been forced to take back seat, are
endeavoring to raise then selves by pre-
tended interest in the welfare of the peo-
pie, and by crying down those who stand
in their way. So far as this county is
concerned, we cannot learn that a single
dollar of the public money has ever been
Incorporated. Every cent that has
ever been raised can be promptly &C
counted for. The howl about corruption
and Illegal taxes is utterly empty so far
as we can ascertain. No proof is fur
nishcd, whatever, that we have heard of,
by those who are roaming over the coun.
ty begging the people to defeat the Re.
publican ticket, and the whole thing is
simply resolved to this point, and this
alolle, that the engineers of the sOcalled
sspeople's ticket" want the Republican
ticket defeated for their own personal
benefit The people Of Lyon county viii
hardly lend themselves 10 such work.

A SINGULAR TRADITION.

The tradition that Cologne cathedral
would never be finished, took its rise as
follows: A young architect in despair at
the refusal of his plans by Archbishop
Conrad, went to the bank of the Rhine,
meditating suicide; when there appeared
the devil himself, who offered him in ex.
change for his soul the plan of the ca.
thedral as it stands today. The young
man demanded twenty-four hours for re.
Election, and submitted the matter to his
confessor, who suggested that on the
morrow. when satan showed him
again the design, he should seize it with
his left hand, and drawing rapidly a rel
ic of Ursula from under his robe with
his right, strike the evil spirit with it on
the brow. This was done. Satan said
That's a cunning trick of the Church
but the design which you seize shall
never be finished, and your name shall
remain unknown. AS he spoke, hi
snatched away the upper part of the de
sign. The young architect died of NOR
LITIGATION without reconstructing the
plans. For years events seemed to beal
out the old legend.

CURIOSITIEs OF BATTLE.

A Western paper has been compiling
incomplete mortality statistics of some
of the big battles of the civil war.
Eighty soldiers, all wounded above
the hips, and all of one
regiment, fell dead at one VOL
ley in the battle of Gettysbergh. At Fair
Oaks twenty men went down one upon
the other in the space of few feet and
never moved limb among them after
falling. One shell at Cold harbor explo-
ded in the ranks of an Ohio regiment,
killing sixteen soldiers. Al Savage Stat
ion, during McClellan's charge, a solid
shot fired from Federal piece at an in.
fantrY column marching by fours, killed
twenty-one men. At Fredericksburgh
five thousand Union soldiers were killed
in less than ten minutes. Near Vicks-
burgh gun boat threw a single shell at
a Confederate battery and killed eighteen
men, and wounded fifteen others.

ELEVATORS IN MILAN CATHEDRAL.


After illuminating Vesuvius with cleo
trio light Zone of the correspondents at
Rome writes to us), company is now
forming for establishing lifts to ascend
to the roof of the Milan cathedral. The
company undertakes, in addition, to IL
Illuminate the roof q giora0 at all seasons,
and to place large clock with four faces
at the foot of the madonna on the sum-
nit; the clock will be lighted at night.
Armchairs, telescopes, and probably
light refreshments are to be provided on
the terrace of the roof for the benefit of
those who have come up IN the lifts,
which are to work night and day; and
perhapse when all this is done, the COM
pany will add q band of music, and
give masked balls during carnival on
the roof The lifts are to be ready for
the time of the national exhibition, if
permission for them is obtained; but
that formaiIty has yet to be gone through
and it is probable that the chapter will
not take the same view of their cathe-
dral as the promoters of the company in
question.
