To The Reader

Listen a moment. You have in your
hand your home paper. We know you
read it. That's what you take it for Now
there are none of you but that have more
or less trading to do, and are continually
buying goods of some kind. Your trade
may be much or little. You may be a
man with large family to provide for,
or you may be young man who has only
his cigars and an occasional suit of clothes
to buy. There is nothing in the constitu
ton of the United States that SAYS you
shall come.here or go there to buy goods
But you are looking for the place where
you can do the best. Just look over the
advertising columns of this paper. They
will tell the tale Don't be content with
gazing down the local columns, but look
over the paper thoroughly.

No Alarm.

There was no alarm sounded from the
city water works for last nights fire, sim
ply because the engineer was not notified
of the location of the fire However a
plentifulsupply of water was furnished
to the men who were engaged in battling
with the flames. 1t would be well heres
after for any person who discovers q fire
to telephone at once to the water works,
so that the engineer may sound the
alarm

The alarm of fire at II o'clock last
night was caused by blaze in the stable
of Mr.. W. Fletcher, on the alley of FifS
tccnth street. The fire originated in the
loft where considerable hay was stored
and was evidently the work of an incen~
diary. When first discovered the stable
was wrapped in sheet of flame. Mr..
Fletcher got his horse out without much
trouble, The fire department responded
quickly to the call and soon had the fire
under control. The house of VIM. Gun
diff, opposite the barn caught fire and
was blazing brightly when the fire
laddies arrived, but they squclched the
flames without trouble The bittle barn,
which was very dry, and the hay made a
big blaze and the sky was illuminated for
miles around 1t was feared at first that
Harper's theatre and Gilmore's packing
house would go, but the prompt and eff
fectiVe work of the fire department saved
all The loss is about $3.50.

HOME AGAIN.


The swan Party Land In New York.
Yesterday Hon. A. II. Swan and fam
lily landed in New York City, after an alb
sence of some seven months in the old
country. As our readers well know Mr..
Swan went across the ocean to be present
at the meeting of the stockholders of the
Swan Land and Cattle company, of
which he is the superintendent and man
ager as well as n large stakeholder. Mr..
Swan and family have spent the principal
part of the time in England and Scotland
since they have been ON the other side of
the Atlantic. Miss Trabing, as our read
ers will remember, accompanied the fam
lily on the trip, and it may be that her
name is now spelled somewhat differently
from what it was when the Swan family
sailed from the American shore for the
old country. Mr.. Swan and party will
reach home about the Goth of the present
month,

Il life. The Bible was the only book of

cial life. The Bible was the only book of
health. The external and internal
EVIDENCES OF a FUTURE LIFE
came together like an arch, mutually SUD
porting each other, with the v~eracity of
Christ above, forming the keystone to
an improbable structure. He spoke of
Christi remark to the penitent thief,
this day will | bewith you in Paradise. -
Never since the apostolic age has Christi
anity stood higher in the estimation of
the educated than at present. He was an
anti-spiritualist and an nti-Swedenborg-
ian. The particles which compose the
flesh change every few years. He was
not the same as he was thirty years ago.
Yet, ~ he continued, "IamI. Something
has not changed and memoryis the same.
There are more things in you, and you and
you, pointing in various directions, than
are dreamed of in their shallow material
istic philosophy. 1t is no more wonder
full that we have lived at all than that we
will live again" The peroratiou of the
address was powerfully eloquent. and
nothing short of a literal reproduction
would do it anything like justice. The
LEADER therefore will not spoil it by at
tempting to give a synoptical report of it.
As the speaker closed his remarks he was
greeted with generous applause.

SUNDAY OBSERVATIONS.
photographic News Notes Picked up on
the sabbath DaY.

The weather on Sunday was all that
could be desired.
Divine services were unusually well at
tended during the day and evening.
A great many people took advantage of
the line weather and were out riding. 1t
was a good day for livery men.
Some fellow got drunk and BIZ some
means got into the back yard of the
Presbyterian parsonage where he took a
good nap.
Services were held at the county Jail at
$3.50 in the afternoon. The prisoners
were very attentive and evidently appre-
ciated the event,
A test of the Durant engine to see if it
was in good working order was made at
the City hall early Sunday morning. 1t
was found to be in good condition.
A good many people visited the Gene
terry during the day, and many flowers and
evergreens were deposited on the graves
of those who have friends living here.
The young peoples meeting at the
Congregational church parlors in the
evening was attended by a very large
number of people and the services wereof
unusual interest.
Some little girls while returning from
the cemetery found a dead cat. and soon
after a cactus just sprouting up. One of
the little ones, a mere baby, wanted to
know if the second discovery was a kitten.
The singing of the Presbyterian church
choir, consisting of W. A. Whitcomb,
John McCandlish, r. n. Heath, Miss
Terry, Mrs. Charles Masten. Mrs. Morgan,
Mrs. Patten and Miss Minnie Gillem, was
excellent, and the reporter heard many
complimentary things said in reference to
1t after the service. Mrs. R.. n. Heath
presides at the organ in this church.
Crazy Jane contributed a little
toward making up the history of the days
event. AT about . o'clock in the morning
she made her appearance near the Post
office corner with a market basket on her
arm and after dancing around there for
awhile proceeded to the Opera house
corner. Hearing some one who was
passing along on the other side of the
street make the remark that across the
street was the office of The LEADER she
evidently felt like going on the warpath
(for she is probably a Republican,, she
commenced to screech, 'Hurrah for the
Republicans Hurrah for the Repub-
%licansl' After she had in this way
shown her appreciation of the political
boys of that persuasion she went down
Seventeenth street and blockaded the
sidewalk by placing an old work bench
across it. The police got after her. but
she resented for a time when Officer
Nolan came along and he took her home.
She is a very in%corrigible character and
the police are at n loss to know what to do
with her.
