They have used the Assembly
chamber for their public meetings,
and that spacious hall has been well
filled on each occasion. So little is
known in the west of this sect or
society, that an extract from Apple
toms cyclopedia defining Unitarian
ism may be here given appropriately;
"Unitarianism in Christian theol
ogy is the general name for the class
of opinions rejecting the doctrine
of the Trinity, and asserting the
absolute unity of God. The term
as defining a belief denies the deity
of Christ and his equality with God
the Father, but does not reject his
divinity, or any exalted rank con
sistent with his subordinalion to
Cod
In the west Unitarianism has but
few organized societies, those con-
fined to the larger cities. In the
United States they have only about
400 churches. Proportionate to
their numbers the Unitarians exert
probably greater influence upon
the moral ana religious literature of
the world than any other society,
owing, it is claimed, to their superior
culture rs a class.
Preparations for the great Sunday
School assembly at the beautiful
Lakeside Of Monona, are now com
pleted. On Wednesday the eXer-
cises begin. Already about so tents
are pitched on the grounds. Pre-
liminary opening of the assembly
will be on Tuesday evening, by brief
speeches, music and fireworks.
Terms Of admission are announced
as follows: Season tickets, 81 so;
membership tickets, 81; single

Assembly grounds and the city
The celebrated Chicago church
choir is advertised to render the
comic opera of "Paticnce' at Bur

We had the Inter Ocean circus
last Wednesday. It's only novel
feature was bona tide donble
headed woman. The curiosity has
two distinct heads and busts, four
perfect arms, four lower limbs--two
being somewhat shorter than the
others, and but one body. She Tor
they) is Tor are) quite intelligent.
The two heads converse with each
other or with different persons in
different languages at the same
time. They sing very finely, one
contralto and the other alto, making
a charming duet
Ex-Governor Lucius Fairchild is
prominent figure of the capital
city. He seems to heartily enjoy
his return home and the respite
from public duties of which he has
performed so much and so well. 1t
was thought possible that he might
be utilized as n candidate for Con
gress this Fall, and thus the conten-
ton between Reyes and Bryant be
terminated. But the EX-Gov. says
he will not submit to it, and hence
the fight goes on.
Which of these two "favorite
sons" will come out ahead is as hard
TO predict as ever but evidence IN
creases to strengthen the belief that
ultimately the delegation from this
county will harmonic. Both being
residents of the city, one or the
other of them must lose the prestige
of having the support Of his Assem-
bly, district, and whichever it is viii
be practically done for, as the rura
districts would not probably adhere
to candidate in opposition to al
expressed wish by his immediate
constituents for another. SO that
it is expected that the result of tn,
canvass in this city will determ n,
which shall haye the support of the
