A. rrrx.r. CHURCH.

! Kirby chapel, Sunday evening, was crowd.
ed as We never saw 1t before. Not only were
all the sittings occupied, but the class
room, the minister's study, and the altar,
altar ratings and aisles as well. From one
thousand to twelve hundred people were
present. Mrs. Rogers preached from the
text, "Behold, stand at the door and
knock" etc. Mrs r. is rather petite, mod
disappearing, middle-sized woman, whose
temples are besprinkled with grey, but
whose bright eyos and intelligent counte-
nance are lighted with the kindllest sympa-
thies. Her discourse, although somewhat
disconnected, glowed with genuine feeling,
and was delivered with an earnestness that
rivited the closest attention of her very
large audience. She expended the best and
pursst sentiments and convictions Of heart
and mind in behalf of those who believe
that ait is not all Of life to live," with evil
dent effect. Believing her mission holy
one, her cause the highest, scoffers and ILL.,
natured critics disturb her but little. That
good work is being wrought Is evident.
Miss Mcdonald, the soloist, possesses won-
derful powers Of distinct ennunciation, aud
her rendition Of the happy songs of Zion are
pleasing and touching. What work can be
more praiseworthy than that which urges
the seeking of peace that passeth all under
standing; that embraces the heart with
hopes and aspirations Of quiet and full hap.
piness beyond the ftful fever of this life of

which faith can be unwaveringly anchored,

THE EANsAs STATE BANK.

Few legitimate business enterprises were
coed. In country made up OF such a large
per cent. of liberal, energetic and wide
awake people. any business conscientiously
pursued has been sure of gratifying returns,
sooner or later. One of the latest and new
est is that Of the institution named in the
head Of this article. Coming, as it did,
backed by the patronage and recommends
tions of men Of unquestioned reliability, and
Differed by men who are gentlemen in every
sense Of that term, the State Bank, from its
very incipiency, commanded the confidence
OF several OF our most solid men, who not
only lent their names. but became identified
with its interests. The occasion of these OBJ
seryatiOns is 4 statement of its affairs pub

tent business men as our city can boast who
took three days in making the report. The
item of $95 .356.7S, loans and discounts, these
gentlemen declare consists of the best and
most secure lot of commercial paper that

Grange Elevator properly, are converting
the same into Touring mill which will soon
be ready to offer its products to the markets
of the State. The building. including the
basement, consists of four floors which have
been filled SO full Of machinery, spouts, ele-
yators. etc.. that one can scarcely turn around
or find his way out when once in. If there
is any thing in compactness, the Diamond

ing chest, containing six boiling reels, also
scales and the heads of the grain bins, which
bins have a capacity of 1900 bushels. The
miGdling and other bins are also upon this
floor. The second floor is called the grind
ing floor. Three run of wheat buhrs are al
ready in and corn stone are being put in
The lower floor or basement contains the
main shaft, pulleys and gearing that drives
the machinery above. Mr.. Fred. o. Laid,

intends the work of the Diamond Mills. His
work shows for itself. A mechanical expert

Mr.. H, &. Smeltzer, who showed us through,
says nothing but the best, highest-priced and
most approved machinery was purchased.
Everything is first-elass and they expect that
the Diamond Mills Hour will successfully
compete with any flour made. The dump,
driveway, and so forth, belonging to the
building as an elevator, are still In position
and will not have to be changed. An engine
and boiler house is being built of stone on
the east side Of the mills, which will be roof
ed with iron and made hre-proof. The en-
CINE is . condenser, cylinder aox3O, fifty

SMALL PoX.

| The dread exanthematic disease of the
winter seems surely hedging us in. At no
time in its history has II been more prevalent.
From the great cities east, west and north it
has been spreading out to smaller towns and
the country. 1t is Of very malignant type
and the per cent of its fatality is startling
Cases have been reported at Emporia. Two
deaths occurred at Severy, forty miles east of
this city, last week. Wichita had one expe-
rience with the disease which will not soon
be forgotten. That we can entirely escape
this time is hardly possible The papers are
full of remedies. We publish two, although
we do not pretend TO know aught Of their
efficacy. Physicians neither affirm nor DENY
the statements made. because il is against
their rules. The first one is from the Liver
pool England Eereary, and Is signed by
Mr. Hine. The other is furnished by DIR.
Lcrkin, member OF the English College of
Surgeons. TO the Boston Courier He vouch-
es for it as medicine that will effect revo-
luton in the healing art as regards the pre-
vention and cure of small pox, measles and
scarlet fever. Mr.. Hines says of the first
cure alluded to:
II am willing TO risk my reputation as
public man il the worst cases of small pox |
cannot be cured in three days, simply by the |
use Of cream of tartar. One ounce of cream
Of tartar dissolved in pint of water. drank |
at intervals when cold, is certain, never |
failing, remedy. 1t has cured thousands, |
never leaves a mark. never causes blindness,
and avoids tedious, lingering Illness
The following is Dr. Larkins:
..Take one grain of powdered foxgloyc or
dgitais (valuable in the ratio of its green
ness-the dark should be reJected) and one
of sulphate of zinc (this article is commonly
known as white yitriol.) These should be
rubbed Thoroughly in mortar or other coh-
venient vessel, with four or five drops of wa.
more, with some syrup or sugar should be
added. OF this mixture, a tablespoonful
should be given to an adult, and two tea
spoonful to a child, every second hour until
the symptoms of the disease vanish. Thus
conyalescence, rs if by magic,
will result. The rapidity Of an event so aus
picious will equally delight and astonish. II
may, however, be necessary TO note that
should the bowels become INSTRUCTED in pro-
gress of the disease, an evil by no means
common. then a draclm of the compound
powder Of jalap, formed of two parts cream
Of tartar with one of jalap) and one grain of
the herb, treated As above. formed into a
paste with syrup or sugar, should be given
to an adult and half the quantity TO child"
