A prompt and unquestioning obedl-
enCe should be rendered to all Gods
commands. No objections or excuses
should Toe made. When God commands
obedience il is to be rendered because
he commands. not because 1t Will be
wise and profitable to obey. No time
should be spent in considering the
reasonahleness of the command, or the
rewards of obedience. The time should
be spent in obeying.
1t sometimes happens that duty Is
set before the Christian. He hesitates
To enter upon its performance, on ac-
count of the difficulties which he fore
sees he may meet with. The obliga-
tion is clear. The way Is open, but he
is not sure that he will succeed.
When Christ ordered the disciples to
feed five thousand men with five
lnavcs. they proceeded at once to obey
the command. They did not state as
an objection that there was not bread
enough to suffice for hundredth part
of the multitude. They did not stop to
consider the rcasonableness of the COM
mand. They promptly 0beyed 1t, and
were satisfied with the result. Their
exam pie should be followed by dlscI-
pes now. ltN rllOlllu nbl SllSl'tll'
their obedience till they can see the re
suit. To do So is to be guilty of a.
great folly rs would attach to the con-
duct of one who should refuse to set
ont on a journey till he was sure of
reaching the end of the journey.
Christ told the man with withcred
hand to stretch it forth. He did so,
and was healed lie did at once what
Christ told him t" do. and the result
WAS joyous. suppose he had said, Il
cannot stretch forth my hand 1t Is
Nithcrcd," would his hand have been
made whole! But he did not hesitate
E" obey. God gave him the requisite
strength.
1t is never wise to discuss questions
relating to the propricty OF the posi-
bility Of obcying Gods commands. a
great deal of time is thus spent, and Il
great deal of evil is the result. OhedI-
cncc is postponed. and the rewards of
obedience are lost.
1t is always safe to take God at his
word. II he tells us to walk on the
water. we should not hesitate. He will
uphold rs if we trust i'll him. We
should enter at once on whatever work
he commands us to do. He who does
50, will find God working within him
both to will and to do.

GREAT TAKE-OFFH.
Tho Boys Celebrate Halloween By
Various Franks.

A good many of the citizens, on awak-
ening yesterday morning. found the front
gates of their residences had been taken
off by the misohievous boys, who cele-
brated the evening before. Some of
these good citizens were so wroth that
they used language very unbecoming TO
All Saints Day. Others were more good
natured about it.
One old carriage was taken out onto
lower Eighth street, and turned over ON
its side in the street.
Some of the shrewder gate owners took
1 their gates into their houses the night
before thus barring the boys out for any
sport with them.
Two or three of the more ingenious
boys showed financial shrewdness by
hunting up missing gates yesterday and
returning them TO their owners at ter
cents reward for each gate. The ~alacrity
with which the boys found the missing
gates was slightly suspicious, and led h
the surmise that possibly they had beer
around at least when said gates were car
ried off, if they did not carry them OF
themselves.

and night before last a row broke out be-
tween the head of the family and the
son, a young man of about twenty. As
a result the head of the family now wears
two very deeply draped eyes. Constable
Clatterbuck arrested both father and son
for fighting, and yesterday morning the
son was brought before Justice Schurz,
but as the father did not appear
against him he was discharged
The father appeared before jus

that he had acted in a vesy ~upfa5hsrly
way, to say the least, toward his, sister, q
girl OF abort eighteen years. The boy
couldn't stand any more Of this sort Of
action, and in the controversy blaskencd

commenced proceedings for n divorce, on

A POOL OF BLOOD.
The AssniIapt Now Lodged in the
Glenwood Jail.

The southern part Of Mills county hal
been thrown into some excitement ovel
a murderous row which took place in &
saloon kept by n mar named John Hall,
in Solomon. The row was over a game
of pool, and David Brodock, an molten.
sive and respected farmer, while trying
to separate the parties, received n bullet
from a revolver in the hands of a man
named McChargue, which it is thought
will prove fatal.
Yesterdays Malvern Leader contains
the substance of the facts as brought out
on the preliminary examination as fol-
lows:
On the afternoon in question, Tom
Quail, who lives near Solomon, in com
pany with a nephew from Missouri, by
the name of Alex McChareue, entered
Halls saloon and engaged in a game of
pool. After running behind 30 cents on
the game, they left the saloon refusing
to pay 1t. After visiting another saloon
they returned again to Halls, and wanted
to continue playing pool. The bartender
told them they could play no more until
they paid what they owed him. Quail
asked him how much it was. ''Thirty
cents, said the bartender. At this Nc
Chargue broke in with, ''you are q -
liar, at the same time drawing a self
cooking revolver. The bartender threw
up his left arm, striking McChargue on
the elbow and elevating the weapon, and
at the same time striking him in the face
his right Inst. The two
clinched, and rs no one seemed inclined
to separate them, David Brodeck

left arml attempted to get hold of the re-

ing through a finger of Brodeck's LETT
hand, then through his chin, entering

placed under arrest, and his preliminary
examination held on Monday and Tues

above. Before the examination was COM
however, ID. II. Solomon, who

Donement till November 10, which was
Brodock's attending physicians

edged in his neck, the other thas it
passed out. His recovery, however, is
doubtful, at the best. We are informed
the feeling against McChargue runs
very high in and around Solomon. Hell

by Marshal Talbot, and kept during the
night, the Marshal taking him to Glen
