We give considerable space to the
Sunday doings in Dodge. Gospel preach
ing is strict Sunday duty and deserves
the mention it receives at our hands. If
there is anything else going on besides
the church on Sundays we are not in
formed, for we do not take the pains to
find out. We know that the law closes
all business houses on that day, and we
have taken no pains to find out whether
the law is strictly and literally regarded
or not At any rate the TINES will
chronicle all legitimate occurrences on
Sunday, and abide by the consequences
or the results. The TINES is not
a religious newspaper, but it aims to
cultivate and encourage moral actions
and moral principles. While it will
sink the sectarian in the christian, it
will not move jog from the course
laid out. The secular newspaper is a
firm and impartial recorder of events,
whether the event be the preacher 8
discourse or the muster of the Click
Guards.

The Rev. B. VanderIage, Catholic

arrive at Fl. Elliott on Sept. 18th, and
will celebrate mass at the chapel at
o clock on the morning Of Thursday,

There is to be no general roundup
here this fall, owing to some hitch in
the arrangements. This should not be
SO, as it will be the means of disappoint-
ing some Of the folks from the more
northern ranges who may not be pre-
pared for making a general aprowl"
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that the necessity for these round ups
is not SO absolute as formerly. The
cattle are thicker in the range, the
grass is as green, the water as scarce,
the wheel bread as weagey, and the de-
licious SOW belly still gives of its fat
ness to the pan; but the trail of the
barb wire is over it all.

Very little is said about the Panama
Canal nowadays, but there is much
more being done than when there was
so much talk about it. Over 10, 900
workmen are steadily at work, assisted
by numerous excavators and other labor
saving machines. Thirty miles of ex-
cavation are in hand, and the work is
proceeding as rapidly as could reasona-
bly, be expected. The death rate among
the workmen has been considerably di-
minished through the precautions which
the company has learned through expe-
renee to take in the way Of huts and
diet How fae financial affairs of the
company stand there is no statement
made, but there appears to be plenty
Of money on hand now. The pinch will
probably come later On.

The Globe makes q defense of the
Click Guards, which is all right enough,
for the Globe is the organ Of the guards
and the guards is the battalion of Mr..
Click, from whom the guards derived
their name. This is all right so far as
it goes. The question that has been
agitating the minds of the people is
whether the guards are republican or
democratic. Now, Gov. Click is .
Democrat. If the Governor of the
state had been Republican we pre-
sumo the guards would have been called
St John. We have taken the pains to
sum up the occupations pursued by the
several members of the Click Guards,
and we find out as follows: There are
% gamblers, 2 saloon keepers, 2 bar
keepers, 8 carpenters, 2 blacksmiths,- 1
painter, l barber, l laborer, stock
man, and one jack-legged lawyer, COM
posing the staunch business men spoken
Of by the Globe. We have nothing to
do with a mans occupation, SO he fol-
lows it honorably, but we object to the
guards being classed as composed of all
our BEST business men. The Globe
being the exponent of the guards, and
the guards belonging to Click, and
Click being Democrat, what in thun-
der is Frost's political complexion I?
The politics of the Click Guards is set
down as follows: Full blooded Demo-

An Australian scientist has discov-
cred fungus that produces in the ro-
dent family fatal skin disease. He
proposed to rid the country of field
mice, rats, and possibly the pestiferous
rabbit, by inoculating number of them
with this particular bacteria, and turn
ing them loose to spread it. The au-
thorities have been advised to await the
result of further experiments before
adopting the plan, lest great harm come
to the people. It is. now known that
the dreadful trichin@ is bred to perfec-
ton in rats, and transmitted to whatever
animals eat them, particularly hogs;
also that the germ of tape-worm .
found in almost, if not quite, exclus-
lively in fresh beef, probably deposited
there by some sort Of fly. 1t is also
known that germs develop differently
according to the kind of animal in
which they find Judgment. All kinds
of meat and bread are full Of them, but
they can all be destroyed by 212 degrees
of heat.

but . short time. but suffered intensely during
the brief period of her illnees. The sorrow

Items find places in newspapers out
side the state of which the following,
from the Chicago Press, is sample:
1t is to be hoped that the inhabitants
of that noted center of wickedness,
Dodge City, will endeavor to reform it
altogether. If they succeed, then there
is every chance of man dying a nat
ural death there once in while.
Nothing could be more unjust. There
has been Of late great deal of foolish
talk about the people of Dodge City.
They are as well-behaved as the people
Of the average western town, and far
ahead Of Chicago in that respect

SPEAREvILLE ITEMS.

As was previously stated the lay
ing OF the cornerstone of the NJ. E.
church building and the exercises Incl
dent in performing such notable act
came of Saturday last Rev. A. P.
George officiating. There was quite a
good turn out, the town and surround
ing country being well represented, an
indication of united interest taken in
having one more house of worship as
matter Of convenience to the public and
an ornament to our town. The build
ing is to be of frame, 26x40 feet, with
a projecting vestibule, a pulpit recess
and belfry. The ceiling next to the
walls will be IA feet high, and in the
center l64 feet high. The box depos-
tied in the cornerstone contained the
Bible, Methodist Almanac of 1883,
Central Christian Advocate, Kansas
Methodist, DODGE CITY TINES, Kinsley
Mercury, History of the Church, list
of officers and members, subscrip-
ton list, coins, stamp, et,. We
believe Rev. Georges theory is to do
that which will result in the greatest
amount Of good to the greatest number.
Collecting funds and building churches
is putting his theory into practice, and
his success in the past in that direction
has gained him quite reputation. The
amount of good to result from his la
bors can only be realized as the years
come and go and the sands of life is
fast passing away. The structure when
completed is to cost from one thousand
to twelve hundred dollars. So far,
nearly seven hundred dollars have been
subscribed. It is to be neat and orna-
mental and built without debt.
Any one wishing to donate towards the
balance required can do so by renting
the amount, large or small, which will
be thankfully received, to Rev. A. P.
George, Speareville, Ford Co., Kansas,
giving their name, and proper mention
will be made of their generous act
w. A. Patterson, of Monongahela
City, Pa, stopped in our town few
days during the past week as pros
pecting tourist in search of a suitable
location to engage in cattle raising. He
was well pleased with the appearance
of the country for that business, but
in order to satisfy others who are ex-
pected to associate themselves with
him in the aforementioned industry.
he departed for Nebraska Tuesday last
to make observations there also. If
Mr.. Patterson and his business associ-
ates should conclude to come to south
west Kansas they do not contemplate
doing SO before next spring.

D. Maynard, of Templeton, Mass, ar
rived Tuesday last. Mr., Maynard is

It is reported that water has been
struck in the government artesian we'll
at Cheyenne Wells, on the Kansas Pa
cific road. The vein was reached at a
depth Of $50 feet, and flowed with a
pressure sufficient to force the water to
a height of forty feet above the surface.
IF this flow continues it means great
things for the plains east of Denver.

The frequent rains of the season
have not been altogether beneficial to
cattle. Stock thrive better in dry
years, for the reason that the grass
does not grow so rank and preserves its
nutrition by drying. Cattle look fat
but the flesh is fabby. The fall grass
will solidify the flesh or fat of the ami
mails.
