\ genuine surprise was perpetrated
upon Rev. ], f. Baker, the young
minister who recently took charge
Of the first Baptist church, Of this
city, last Monday evening. The con-
gregation put up the job to give him
and his lady surprise donation at
the church, on the evening in ques-
tiOn, and so as not to allow him to
have an inkling Of the project in view,
he CWas spirited into the country
during the day by one Of the mem
bers. In the evening, after the assem-
bly, Of large number Of the congre-
cation and, ,Riany interested friends,
Mr.. Baker was sent for, and on his
arrival at the church was completely
taken aback by the reception. Rev.
Mr.. Watson, Of the Presbyterian
Church, delivered brief welcoming
and Introductory address. Mr.. Wat
son spoke in the most kindly spirit,
and his remarks were happily deliv-
cred, elegant in diction and the feel
ings expressed worthy a christian,
and touched the right spot in the
hearts Of his hearers. Mr.. Baker
was taken wholly unprepared. He
was innocently ignorant Of what was
in store for him, and as this was his
first appearance in anything of the
kind, was, at first, at loss to know
how to reply; but he stood up man
fully and responded In an equally as
kindly a manner, and expressed his
thanks for the reception. After the
speaking the audience mingled
together for social good time, during
which Mr.. Pratt related an amusing
anecdote and and repeated that beau
tiful production, "The Bells" The
presents donated were numerous and
varied, and consisted mainly Of glass
ware, displayed upon tables. UnfOr-
tunately, in the endeavor to make tia
complete surprise, the donation was
not generally known, and therefore
the attendance was not as large as 1t
otherwise would have been how
ever it was quite successful. In this
connection we desire to extend to
the Rev. Mr.. Baker and his amiable
lady hearty welcome into this COM
munity. The reverend gentleman is
young man, worthy christian, and
one who is deeply interested in the
profession that he has assumed for
life. May his life among US be pleas
ant, and his lahors he crowned with
the success they deserve.

1t grieves us to learn Of the sudden
death, at Portland, Of the infant son
and only child of Mr.. and Mrs. f. T.
Clarke, Of this place. The family had
been in that city only a few days
when the sad affliction came upon
them. We can feel for them in the
hour Of their bitterness. Stern, in
exOrable death Is always horrible.
When his dread summons calls the
grdy-haired parent the loving ones
are bowed down with mourning.
Man can never sOOthe the pain Of the
stroke by the thought that the giving
up Of mortality is one Of the inevi-
table results Of age. When the mes
senger calls away those in the very
vigor Of this life tie loss is no more
keenly felt, yet we wonder at the
mysterious workings of fate that thus
cuts off one just entering upon life's
Threshold, when the future bears
nothing but the blush Of hope and
castles Of possible accomplishments.
But when the rude hand of the reaper
stretches forth and grasps a young
child, being whose bird-liSe exis-
tence has made brighter your life,
the hecOOingof whose voice was sweeter
to your ears than the strains Of music,
who, like tendrel, had eHtwined
itselfabout your breast, whose
pure presence had filed home with
the sunshine Of happiness, then is
realized his extreme cruelty. The
rose is banished from the downy
cheek, the lids are closed forever
over eyes that erst had held for you
the light Of hope, the lips are notion
less, and that that was a part of your
very self has been ruthlessly taken,
leaving a void, a deep, Unsuitable pain
that even time can never entirely re-
move. This child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarke was bright, beautiful, seraphic.
He was the idol Of the household, and
the pride and hope Of the fond par
ents. He had reached an interesting
age in babyhood, when every motion
Is noted, and every sign Of increasing
perception is the source of congratu-
lation to father and mother. Then
death, heartless, Eemorseless death,
claimed him. The blow is a severe
one. Only those who have bowed
under the rod and felt the torture of
the stroke can realize its nature and
extent. We, together with the many
friends, sympathize with Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarke in this trial. May the
God who giveth and taketh sustain
and aid them In bearing up under
the great sorrow.

Several of our residents have been
in communication with the agent Of
the United States Electrical Light
Company, who is travelling through
the country introducing a system of
electric lights for Illuminating streets
and public buildings. In fact a let
ter from the gentleman was submit
ted to the City Council at a recent
meeting, and the Clerk requested to
correspond with the representative
of the organization. II the necps-
sary arrangements can be made it is
not at all unlikely that the new and
improved method Of illumination
will be introduced into this city. 1t
is claimed that the light can be man
ufactured by water power so cheaply
that it can be furnished at less cost
than gas, and as there is plenty Cf
power there can be no reason why
the establishment of an electric light
company would not pay. Should the
plans now under consideration be
carried out we may look for the
modern electric light this winter,
Masts will be used for the lamps for
street purposes and as the city proper
is free from such impediments as
trees and tall buildings the mast
lights could be made to work to per-
fection. Let there be light-on the
electric principle.

Wednesday evening a couple Of in
dividuals tangled in the meshes of
too much gin stumbled into Carson's
restaurant and called for supper.
After complncently filling up the
diners refused to pay the reckoning,
and upon the proprietor insisting on
his just dues proceeded to rdsp him
over the hard surface of the floor
The performance made Charley aw-
full mad, and his feelings were not at
all assuagcd by the discovery that a
silver spoon had disappeared with
the rioters. Deputy Sheriff Gillian
was notified Of the occurrence, and
that industrious officer soon had the
offenders under lock and key. Late
Thursday morning Ben. Bravinder,
who knew one of the prisoners and
was aware Of his Incarceration, saw
him scOOting down the ravine west
Of the Jail, and concluded from the
manner in which the fellow was
hunting for distance that he had
found some other means Of being
discharged than through the door.
He informed Mr.. Gillian Of the state
Of affairs, and on investigation it was
found that the two men had cut a
small hole through the floor in the
northwestern corner Of the room and
by that means made their escape.
1t is evident they had received tools
from the outside as the cut was neat
ly made. 1t does not argue favor
ably for the security Of our calabOose
when a man can deliberately cut his
way through the building and get
away in broad daylight. The hole
through which the prisoners man
aged to slip is exceedingly small,
and one would suppose the fellows
must have had mighty close
squeeze to make the rifle. How
ever 1t answered the purpose intend
ed as well as an orfice as wide as a
barn door.

WHO FIRED THAT GUN?
A FusInade that FIustersd a Farmer.

Wednesday evening.at a decOrous
hour, ut after the shades Of night
had fallen down 50 thick as to limit
the vision Of anything short Of a lynx,
Mr.. Stage, who nurses trees, and
shrubs, and so forth up to maturity
on a farm only short distance from
the city, on the Moran prairie road,
was vending his way homeward on
horseback, wrapped in religious re-
veries and presumably a clear con-
science.k When approaching the
eastern edge of town his reflections
were scattered and a feeling of inse-
curity aroused by the sudden and by
nOmeans reassuring noise created by
a succession Of shots from several re-
vOlvers. Mr.. Stage was not fright
ened-very much-but there seemed
such an indescribable uncertainty as
to the manner in which the unknown
Dangers could or would point their
weapons, and there is such an un-
pleasant feeling generated by the
thoughts Of laying out all night a
lonely, chilly, awe-inspiring corpse,
and something so repugnant and dis
agreeable about the idea of having
band of physicians lowering over one
plugging up holes, that Mr.. Stage
concluded that it was far more in
conformity with safety to pull out Of
the malarial district. He had the
wonderful presence Of mind to pitch
his voice out into the dark and ask
an introduction to the parties, and
inquire as to the cause Of the racket,
but as the shooters did not seem de-
sirous of enlarging their circle of ac-
quaintances, and as a shot or two
more was thrown in for change, the
wayfarer concluded TO alter his mind
and not go home for an hour or two,
anyhow, and as there could be on
object in lingering in the middle Of
the road he turned the nose of his
horse toward the protecting lights of
the city and did not lose any unnec-
esslry time in getting out Of ,he
way. The officers were informed of
the dangerous condition of affairs,
and while it was kind of jeopardiz-
ing the funds Of life insurance
company to face the danger supposed
to be lurking on the suburbs, the Off
GERS nevertheless hastened out but
were unable to discover the actors in
the drama. Mr.. Stage succeeded in
reaching home in safety during the
night, and we suppose is thankful to
providence that he escaped without
being turned into a lead mine.
Shooting around in the city is sagainst
the law, and II people can find no
other method Of enjoying themselves
they should be made to pay for the
indulgence. This escapade we sup
pose was merely joke of some Of
the boys, but had they been caught
the funny part Of it would have been
entirely lost to EN-.

Moving.

The large, heavy, cumbersome
frame building known as the Black
Hawk stable, that has for so long a
time filled space at the corner Of
Main and Howard streets, is being
moved into a new position on the
north side Of Main. w. p. Horton
has the contract for hauling the huge
building, and from the manner in
which he has accomplished the work
it is evident that he understands
how to do 1t. When once set in
place Warner & Roe will proceed to
refit the structure throughout and
make of it one Of the most complete
and convenient livery stables on the
coast. The firm will spare no ex-
pense in this undertaking, and as
their long experience in the livery
business gives them a perfect know
ledge Of the requirements Of a first
class livery, there is no doubt that
they will carry out their present de-
signs to the very letter.
