HOLD ON, BROTHER YIkE.

TO the Editor Of the Daily Eagle:
"Stop, Brother Yike. and let some one
who is better acquainted with the Lord
pray" said an old co.ored preacher to q
rather incoherent brother who was much
exercised 10 prayer meeting.
dropped into q temperance meeting in
an adjoining town when class leader with
a very decided look Of ~ am holier than
thou" said the nomination OF Blaine and
Logan was an insult to temperance people.
just how, was trifling, unimportant
query he disdained to answer. 81 am 60
ing to vote as Ipray; am Republican and
am going to vote for St. John" Ifas q
Republican voter his voting for St. John il
a sample of his praying, he had better "lefi
of dar' and let some one pray who is bet
ter acquainted with the methods Of the
Lord in answering prayer.
Stripped Of its supreme egotism, and
clothed in the garments of common sense,
and experience it is simply voting for ST.
John to elect Cleveland and Hendricks
Which is with all due deferance to my NJ
+. friend praying heavenwsrd and voting
hellward. No one who IL q thoughtful
man, acquainted with theDemocratic party,
but knowns that q Democratic triumph
this fail is the death knell to temperance in
Kansas. In my judgment 1t would be 9
cause of deep sorrow and regret, causing
more bitter repenting tears than any blow
the antics can possibly intiict on the TEN
perance cause.
Let the zekes "leff or praying and make
room for the grand men In front who vii
pray and vote for the chosen standard bear
ers of the party who have raised the coup
try to its present place among the sister
hood of nations, and among whose member
ship is found willing hands and sympathiz-
ing heads with any work for the best in
terest and elevation Of the race.

give you fair warning that this thing has

Our beautiful little village has doomed

of vitality. Our seven grocerymen and
three grain buyers find steady occupation;
those in other lines OF trade are moderately
active. The erection of a church and q

Benton is situated in the midst OF beau

world, and no matter how many railroads
Wichita may cause to be built around 1t, q
good trade will remain. as We are little
too far OF to be annexed to the hub. In

The remains of the late Capt. ADsor

loving eyes that were wept dry with genu
inc grief. The scene about the grave al
all that was mortal of him who had beer
such tender husband and affectionate

frail, widowed mother overcome and sup
ported by the eldest son, five daughters all
on Bonded knees, the feeling benediction Of
the pastor and friend, and the tremuloui
and pathetic voices of the singers, all con.
spired to moisten many eyes and to touch
many hearts. The service at the home were
conducted by Rev. j. b. Welty, Of Creston,
Iowa, who had come in answer to tele.
graphic summons, to mingle his tears with
the fatherless and the widow, and to pour
upon their sorely wounded hearts words OF
love and sympathy.
