Bavaria was surprised some nights
ago by the return of the show. The
manager informed us that the roads
were often found so impossible that
they could not meet advertisements,
having sometimes to skip points
that they might meet few Of
their engagements Their business
was necessarily very much deranged.
Hence, they concluded to wait for
better roads and start anew some time
in the future. We wish them success,
for great pains has been taken to train
the horses SO thoroughly as to give the
public the worth of their money.
We hear some very uncommon, enter

performed. We believe they lost one
horse on the trip.

TEMPERANCE,

On Friday evening, September l6,
the union temperance services, as
previously announced, were held in
the Christian church Of this city, with
satisfactory results. At the close Of
the exercises, Mrs. q. J. ii. Lang, late
President of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union at Leavenworth,
Kansas, was introduced by DIR. $. T..
DOdd, former pastor of the Chris
tian church in LeavenwOrth, upon
which Mrs. Lang made some happy
remarks, resulting in an appointment
for her to address q union mass meet
ing Of the temperance people OF Salt
ma i'm the same house, on Sunday even-
ing, September 10Th. The hour arriv.
ing, the house was packed to its ut
most capacity with representatives
from all classes Of society. Present:
Revs. Iams, Baker. Davis, Simkins,
Bishop and Dodd.
Reading Scripture, prayer and Cos
pei songs composed the worshipfu1
exercises.
Mrs Lang's address for Prohibition
was mastery for argument, rhetoric
and pathos. Her manner calls forth
the cooperation Of all Christians, the
sympathetic responssOf all addicted
to inebriatiOn, and the quickening
power of the conscience of the saloon
ist and supporters Of the liquor traffic,
while all unite in ascribing to her both
power and ladyship.
On Monday Mrs Lang met re-
spectacle audience in the Presbyterian
which for an hour was
addressed on the ''Sphere Of wom-
an for Usefulness" Here again the
pure sentiment, the accuracy Of scien-
tific illustrations, literary brilliancy
and aptness Of practical thought, wins
for her the good will and wishes Of all,
we presume, who were present.
NOrICE.-It has been arranged
for Mrs. Lang to deliver an ad-
dress i'm the Christian church
on Friday evening, September
3, exclusively to the ladies Of
our city, ON the subject Of Physical
Inheritances," or the transmission Of
vice and disease. Toilet receipts, and
general rules for preserving health
will also be given. Ladies, please
bring your scratch hooks and pencils
with you We have no doubt this will
be the most interesting and profitable
lecture Of the course. -.

the SENATORIAL CONVENTION AND
ITS RESULTS.

IHe SENATORIAL CONVENTION AND
ITS RESULTS.
After q long and desperate struggle
between Saline and Mcpherson coun-
ties, Last week, at Lindsborg, during
which 2S5 ballots were cast, Tomas
Anderson, of Saline county, was NOM
mated for State Senator by acclama-
ton. Capt. g. w. Banks received the
vote of our county for some 245 consec-
utive hollots-when 1t was found that
he could not receive the nomination
by any possible combination of cir
cumstances. During this time. 7. E.
Simpson was receiving the solid vote
Of the Mcpherson delegates Drop
ping Capt. Banks name our delegates
commenced seeking for a candidate
who might be able to draw one vote
more from the Mcpherson men; but
they seemed rs united as orr own del
egates. The names of c. E. Faulkner,
ID. r. Wagstaff and F. NJ. Hamilton
were presented on successive ballots,
and each Of them received Is solid
votes, and no more. 1t was impossible
to break the Mcpherson column until
the name Of Thomas Anderson was
presented. That act created stam-
pede, and he was nominated by &C
clamatiOn-a Mcpherson delegate
making the motion The Convention
thus passed of tremendously and the
Mcpherson delegates departed in good
humOr, promising solid Republican
support for the nominee Thus the
unhappy differences which have here
tOfore existed between the two coun-
ties seem i'm q fair way to be settled,
and the citizens of both counties are
united under AndersOn's standard.
As for the nominee, We can say he is
a".tOwero Of strength, and will receive
large majority in each county. He is
one of our most prominent farmers,
and during the long years he has re-
sided here has been held in the high
est esteem by the citizens of our coun-
ty. He is q well-infOrmed, observing
man, and will ever he vigilant in pro-
tecting the interests of Saline and Nc
PhersOn counties. He is u thoroughly
honest, conscientious man and good
Republican. Hurrah for Tom Ander-
son, the next State Senator of the seth
District!

This policy may not add to the
