sermon to.night. Mr.. Culmer has been pastor
here two terms.
The citizens of the town have opened their
houses for the entertainment Of the conference,
irrespective of church relationships. Enter
tainment for all is in prospect. Franklin street,
in front of the church, and the railroad, has
been vacated by town ordinance until the close
of conference. This space has been covered and
seated, and a large stand erected for the public
services of the conference. The church being
comparatively small, this will afford ample room
for the people to attend all the services. Spencer
being centrally located in the conference, this
session promises to be largely attended.

LOUISVILLE LOSES ANOTHER GAME.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 26.-The Louisvilles were
defeated again to-day by the superior work of
their opponents in the field and at the bat. In
the first inning Calvin dislocated his right elbow,
and in the third inning was compelled to retire.
Megan then went in to pitch, and his fine work
won the game. Galvin's arm was so badly
wrenched that it is quite probable he will not be
able to play again this season. The weather
was cold, and the crowd small. Following is the

A Kansas Land Craze.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. l6.-The decision OF
Judge Brewer, Of the United States Circuit
Court, In the case Of the United States vs..
the Southern Kansas Railway Company,
declaring $1,000 acres of land heretofore
held by that company to be wronfully held,
and now part of the public domain, has ere.
ated the widest land excitement ever known
In this State. As soon as the decision was
made known in Southern Kansas, men In
wagons, buggies and on horseback came in
great numbers from Chase, Wilson and
other counties to this county (Woodson)
and Greenwood equity, and commenced
stalking of claims, saying that Judge Brew
er's decision declared all the lands hereto
fore held by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railway to be Government land. They are
building shanties on many quarters and
breaking the sod so rs to perfect the claim.
They have even stuck their stakes and
broken the ground on the lands which were
entered by College scrip, and patents for
which were on record before either the
Santa Fe or Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
ways were organized.

1t is not an abstract question that presents

DAKOTAyS BLAZING FARMS.
Fires Devastating the Great Wheat Lands.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, Sept. 1s.-We have
been travelling for nearly an hour and half
at the rate Of 20 miles an hour, through one
of the most extensive and disastrous prairie
fires that ever devastated wheat lands or IN.
broken prairie. From a point near Bis.
marck eastward almost to Steele, the sweep
of fire and the pail of spreading smoke has
been practically unbroken. Here and there,
at points apart, hope hangs temporarily upon
some field of grain or cluster Of wheat stacks,
which have been protected by circle OF
plowed ground around them, but IL would
seem as II eventually all the wealth of this
most fertile and cultivated portion of Cen
trail Dakota must 60 up In flames and ashes.
A present estimate, gathered from inquiries
along the line, shows $50, 900 bushels Of
wheat and oats must have been destroyed
already. Fortunately, one-third Of the crop
has been threshed, and as far as observed
from the train, much precaution has been
exercised In protecting grain In the stack,
though much depends upon the force of the
wind. Everything is very dry, no rain bav-
ing fallen for weeks. 1t Is distressing to see
the efforts of small farmers to preserve their
property. All that has been so graphically
portrayed In novels and books Is realized in
the picture before us. Messengers hasten
ing from farm TO farm, blown and wearied
heaters struggling to complete the plowed
likes Of safety upon which the flames are
already encrosching, herds Of wandering
cattle gathered In groups upon some still un.
burned patch, women and children peering
from the tops Of ladders raised against their
homes, cows and pigs loose among the cab.
