IN THE TEMPERANCE ORGANS we learn
of the touching history of The Man Who
Never Drank. Grant heard him say during
the siege of Vicksburg that he never drank,
and he at once put him in charge of the sub
sistence department The temperance editor
don't seem to understand it, but the
worldly-minded will at once appreciate the
fact that the chief article in the way of
commissary stores would be likely to last
longer under the administration of The
Man Who Never Drank than under that of
The Man Who Always Drank. The COM
missary department was well taken care of,
and years after the war was over President
Grant wanted highly reliable man to send
on some delicate mission to the Mexican
frontier, and he bethought him of The Man
Who Never Drank, hunted him up, ard
sent him down there. OF course the mis-.
sion was admirably discharged. Tho Man
Who Never Drinks invariably distinguishes
himself, while the other man as regularly
cxtinguishes himself but in addition TO
performing his duty, The Man Who Never
Drank made the acquaintance of u large
~ P'"PitS'oi =" ioA@oi WHO leceuUly
wanted to sell his place, and, of course, re-
membered The Man Who Never Drank, sent
him to England to negotiate with some
capitalists who were loaded down with
British gold, and now The Man Who Never
Drank is enjoying his commissions on n
million dollar transaction
This Is pretty story for the good boys
and will go far to check the spread of in
temperance, We have no doubt. That is.

CONGRESS WILL HAVE TO DECIDE be-
tween the merits of the two plans proposed
for a commission to revise the tariff. From
the fact that Mr. Eaton's bill once passed
the Senate, though it failed in the House,
possibly his plan will again meet with ap-
proval. 1t can't we'll be antagonized by
the protectionists because they fathered it
solution of the question to the free-tradcrs.
There may be reasonable ground for argu-
ment as to whether this commission should
be entirely composed Of merchants, as Mr..
Eaton suggests, or in part of Congressman,
as Mr.. Garland desires in his bill. The
leading commercial organs of the country
are about equally divided on this question.

SPECIAL TREASURY AGENT TINGLE, in
his annual report, once more urges the
abolition of twenty-five ports of entry, at
which during the past year not one dollar
of duties has been collected, and thirty
two districts in which "thc years collec-
tions from all sources have not equaled the
years expenses" He adds that ''this is
true Of many a previous year" All these
custom-houses, he says innoccntly, in sup
port of his argument 'arc required to be
kept up with all the formalitics of active
establishments, with deputies, inspectors,
and clerks to make official returns often of
mo transactions to the acc ounting officer"
Mr.. Tingle is flying in the face of Repub-
lican habits when he advises any such
course. If these ports Of entry should be
abolished, we should like TO know what
would become of the nice crowds who
draw their pay for managing primaries ?
Brother Tlnglc is laying the axe to the root
of the tree. Custom.houses are political
necessity. Mr.. Tingle should be disciplined
for his reform tendencies.

Friday evening, Notwithstanding the
continued threatening weather, the
handsome residence and grounds of ouI
fellow townsman. I. d. Fox, were a scene
of gaiety and lively pleasure long to be
remembered, the occasion being an
assembly in honor of visiting friends
Miss Mollie Tortat of Atchison and Mrs
DR.. C. S. Nellis, SO well known in EN-
poria circles, now of Kansas City.
The guests commenced arriving about
o quarter to nine o'clock at which time
a slight rain ill-betokened a successful
or pleasant evening, part of which as il
had been arranged, was to be spent in
the open air.
The rain clouds, however, soon very
obligingly cleared away and many Of
the guests betook themselves to the
large and roomy platform that had been
erected on the grounds just north OF the
house and surrounded by sides of frame
work and green branches and covered
by the canopy-of the heavens, the can
vass roof that had been provided early
in the evening failing to weather the
stiff breeze which sprang up about eight
O'Clock. Here at the sound of the cor

by the inspiring music of the
remainder of the Holmes orchestra, the
dancing began and was continued til
after midnight to the unqualified pleas

EDIToRs NEWS: The tornado on the
9th was one of the most destructive
storms that has ever visited this part of
Kansas. at about 6:1O p. M, the storm
companied by the largest hail stones We
ever saw, doing immense damage to the
growing crops especially to small grain.
The wheat crop which promised at least
three fourihs of crop will probably be
cut short 10 about one-third Of a full
crop. Gardens almost entirely destroy
ed. The damage to the corn crop is
hard 10 estimate at the present writing,
cut short at least one-fourfh
only insuring three-fouTths of
an average yield: the potato
crop we believe is uninjurcd late beans
are all o. K; the fruit crop is damaged
badly; the apples and peaches have been
badly married by being cut with the hail
the fruit trees were also badly cut up
and broken down by the hail and storm.
Late corn is comparatively uninjured.
The damage TO houses in this locality is
small; we believe that Mr.. 'Bowersock
lost 81 window lights; Mr.. Hartford, o;
Mr.. Ceoyl, Is: Mr.. Mounce, three entire
windows. The mayor of Agnes City,
Mr.. G. H. Thompson lost 90 window
lights; Mr. Bigger, Mr.. Edward and
others having north windows lot near

were most successful. The room, a
great portion of the time, would not hold
those who come TO hear him, even when
extra seats were provided. This led TO
the first talk of new building.
Two lots just north Of Mr..
Riggs, and nearly opposite the Coolidge
hotel were bought, the church agreeing
TO pay for them, 81. 200 $500 Of the
amount was paid and some years after
wards the former owner was induced to
take them back for what was still due
on them. In 1872 the first conference at
WAisA lay representation was admitted
was held in this church by Bishop
Scott The time of Elder Rice expiring
Rev. p T. Rhodes, well and favorably
known here, served q full term as elder
of the district. In 1878 and 1874 Charles
Lewis served the church. In 1876 and
1876 A. 81. Walter was in charge. The
South Kansas conference was held in
this church in 1876, the venerable
Bishop Jesse Peck presiding. In
1877 and 1878 G. w. Pye followed
Walter. Rev. johnson of Garnet fol-
lowed Mr. Rhodes as elder, and Mr..
Mitchell followed johnson. c. r.
Rice was the minister in 1879,
and s. E. Pendleton was presiding elder.
In 1880 Mr.. Rice again became
presiding elder and is ,he present in
cumbent. Rev. John Kirby was appoint
ed to the charge in 1896 and again for
this year. These gentlemen arc now
ably and fervently carrying the banner
of the cross in the name of the MethO-
dists, of this city, and We hope before
the conference year is out TO see them
triumphantly unfurl its folds in the
handsomest, largest and best built
church in the South Kansas conference,
which shall rear toward heaven its
spire on the site of the old building
which has done service SO long.

ing of the 9th, at half past six o'clock,
Agnes City was visited by one of the
most terrific storms ever known in this
section, dealing destruction in every di-
rection. All growing vegetation
was hammered into the earth.
There was heavy wind driving every

hail was from the size of quail's egg

There was fair audience in attend
ance upon the exercises of last evening
at the Normal.
II is well to praise, and it is we'll to
criticise.
The "lightning bugs" provided by the
regents, misnamed lamps, were on their
good behavior. No member of the
faculty had TO get up during the exer-
clses and carry any OF them out.
Mr.. Hill did well in his Grafton. To
the credit of this gentlemen be it said,
he quit when he got through.
The second paper was poorly read in
q voice that could not be understood be-
yond the front rows of seats.
The poem was no doubt ''fair to mid
ding" as such poems often are. 1t
was probably only intended for the ears
of the few members of the alumni close
to the speaker. We should say there was
too much ''alas T' in it, and that unlike
Mr.. Hills Grafton it didn't stop when it
got to a good place. But it was passa-
bic.
The chorus singing was only SO so. 1t
did not sound like that of the good old
days of Prof Norton. Perhaps that
gentleman had better material to work
on than the present leader.
The singing by the Reese brothers was
admirable. These gentlemen understand
themselves. The encore was we'll de-
served as mark of approval on the part
of the audience that their fine and really
musical performance was appreciated.
But worst of all, those in the rear of
the hall near the door were annoyed by
the almost constant music ~ of an inno-
cent babe, and outraged by the loud
talking of a couple of i'll bred hood
lums who leave their manners at hong
when they go into public assembly, if
they ever had any. Those in the vi
cinity where these Doors sat would
have cheerfully paid all damages that
would have accrued from leading them
out and kicking them down stairs. If
they are caught at such performances
again at such place they ought to be
dealt with promptly as indicated above
If they have no respect for themselves
they ought to be compelled to respect
the interests of others.
