on Sunday were conducted by the pas
tor, Elder Rev. r. L. Lo'z. His tex
was from EDhesians 2: 1915. The sub.
ject, by request was, "One Church.
The line of thought pursued was thai
Christianity beng different from Juda-
ism had in it the elements of harmony
aud that underlying the structure is the
grand central thought, that Jesus is the
Christ of God. That it is not necessary
to salvation to believe every truth in the
Bible. First, because the early Chris
uans were not asked to do so, for it was
imposs BILE for each one to have 1t In his
possession. Second, a person cannot
subscribe to a>thing of which he has nc
knowledge, and the masses cannot obtain
this knowledge. Sects have grown and
multiplied from differences of opinion
One thing required in every church is a
confession of the divinity of Christ
faith, repentance and obedience. A I'm.
ion on these points, dropping every
thing else, would make Christianity &
power acknowledged and felt.
The house was full to Its utmost ca.

Republican of a beautiful scooplng"
they got in snatch game between the
Normal nine and the Chicago Mound
club, near the Missouri Pacific depot
Saturday." If the article was intended
for surprise it certainly had the de-
sired effect, for 1t was the first they knew
of it. We understand that the Chicago
Mound boys came to town IN the morn
ing to play against the Americas club,
and the latter not putting in an appear
ance, a nine was hastily collected to
have little amusement.
The Normal nine did not challenge
the other club, as the Republican stated,
but were off to picnic. We are'really

the same might be said of the neigh
boring clubs, upon whom we are always

The case of Catherine Jones vs.. the
City of Empo1a, in which the plaintiff
brought suit to recover 5000 damages
by reason of injuries suffered by her
from defective sidewalk, was settled
Monday by City Attorney Firth,
with the advice of the mayor and coun-
Gil, by the payment of $500. The acct
dent happened on the 18th of April,
1882, on Market street. between Third
and Fourth avenues, when the plaintiff,
by stepping on a loose board,
twisted her ankle and injured
her back in such a manner that she
has been disabled ever since, and there
is little or no prospect of her ever being
any better. 1t was thought by the city
authorities that, under all the circum-
stances, the compromise made was the
best way out Of the dilemma, as the
plaintiff had q strong case, and had the
matter gone 70 trial would have stood q
frstclass chance of recovering in the
sum first named. 1t is q good deal
cheaper for the city to expend enough
money to keep Its sidewalks in proper
repair than to run the risk of being
sued for sum that would go great
way toward putting them In shape to
insure the safety of pedestrians

member thaton April 4. 1882. the col
ored folks had Masonic installation of
officers at Strong City, anaddress by Mr..
Langston, supper and dance.
A difficulty occurred and a large
amount of shooting was done. George
Rabb was shot in the breast and back,
Yves walker, colored, in the hand and
Ed Bridges through the left arm and
across his body. Ben Ray, colored, was
punished little by cuffs and blows
from Babb, and Blakemore, colored,
slapped Babb in the face. Babb died
| after three days. Bridges, Ray and
Blakemore were arrested and confined
in the Chase county Jail. Walker fed
the country. A mob organized at
Strong City TO go over to take the
three out of iaIl and hang them,
but the sheriff and county attorney ran
the prisoners of by night and turned
them overto Sheriff Ryan for safe keep
ing.
Bridges was tried in May 1882, and
convicted OF murder in the second de
gree and sent to the penitentiarY for ten
years. Ray was tried and acquitted, and
Blakemors was sent to jail for thirty
days for assault and battery and dis
charged as to the shooting. Walker
was arrested in the fall or winter of
1882, tried and acquitted.
Judges Buck and Cunningham have
from the first represented Bridges, Ray
and BIakemore, while Buck and the
Madden brothers defended Walker.
The Bridges case was t4ken to the su-
preme court and reversed, and Bridges
held to bail last January. This case
was tried a second time last Thursday,
Friday aud Saturday. The jury, after
being out foriy-five minutes, returned 8
verdict OF not guilty.
Bridges was defended upon two the.
cries: One, that he did not shoot at all
the other, that if he did it was in self
defense. AS there was testimony on boil
these points, it Is uncertain upon which
the jury acted. Bridges was poor and
triendless, but his lawyers constant and
