A Narrow Escape.

While Rev. Sam Jones was running
his dissipated career, on certain day
he was sitting on the street an an in
toxicated condition whiting on a
piece of goods box. 1t was part of his
business to hold down goods boxes and
white on them. He was evidently
not in good humor, for when hunts
man, whom Mr.. Jones did not like for
some trivial cause, came by with his
gun and game, Mr.. Jones jumped up
and cursed and struck him. OF course
the assailed man was greatly enraged,
and in an instant he dropped his game
and leveled his gun ut Mr.. Jones
breast and fired, but, fortunately, at
the same moment bystander knocked
the gun up and the deadly missiles
were discharged IN the air. The evan
gelist has been in several such close
places, but he was spared for great
work.-Ndshville Banner.

tells the world that the blood, the kid.

cOhol, and the excitement attending
the explosion is denOminated "intoxi-
cation What impiety is it in legis.
ture or a party to dare repeal this law
Shall not the divine, the Interchangeable
law of mans nature be respected?
ProhibitOry legislation Is, then
naught but a peacea5le method OF
equitable revolutionary resistance
against the trespasSer. 1t seeks to
stand watch over the citadel of the
mind to keep the pirate, alcohol. from
entering the pilOt-house of the human
body, and through habit strap himself
to the wheel and dash the richly
freighted ship upon the breakers, rs
he did with Prentiss and Poe.
See how this intruder enters the
soul and there despoils the image OF
God and plumber that sacred spot OF
its immortal treasures.
In the face oi these unchallenged
facts in nature, it smacks of profanity
to oppose prohibition. No device OF

rough-shod over the moral right oil

Tha Detroit Free Press says: ~Fif.
ty years ago it cost cents TO send q
single-sheet letter any distance less
than 80 miles. Between 80 and sc
miles the rate was 10 cents; between
so and $50, 124 cents; between $50 and
400, Isl cents, and over 400, % cents
For two sheets double price was charg-
ed. In 1916 the unit of weight was
fixed at half an ounce, and the rate for
any distance under 300 miles was fixed
at 5 cents. Above that distance the
rate was 10 cents. Six years later the
rate was reduced to 8 cents, for which
letters could be sent anywhere under
5000 miles. In-1S63, 8 cents was made
the uniform rate throughout the Union
and in 1888 the rate was reduced to
cents Every one of these reductions
has been productive of an increase in
revenue, and il is not likely that the
reduction just effected will prove any
exception to the rule"

That Dirty pandrnrf.

Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable
in every way. 1t soils the clothing
continually, and Is accomanied by a
hardly less annoying sensation of itch
ing. The scalp is diseased. There is
nothing in the world so thoroughly
adapted to this trouble as Parker's
Hair Balsam. 1t cleanses and heals
the scalp, stops the falling hair and re-
stores its original softness, gloss and
color. Is not oily, highly perlumed,
an elegant dressing. Very economic
al, as only a small occasional applica-
ton keeps the hair in perfect condi-
ton.

According to DIR. Young, Chief Of
the Bureau of Statistics for 1872, of
dividing out the debt contracted for
alcoholic liquors by the whole people
of the United States, he assigns to the
State OF Tennessee $13,0000O0, or $12
per capita. If the expenditures for
liquor were stopped for one year, and
the money paid to the bond holders of
the State at so cents on the dollar, the
debt would be discharged in about a
year.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE
From the Newton Republican.

FROM the newton Republican.
In company with a number of Newton
men the editor of the Republican visited
Wichita last evening, to examine the electric
light machine now on exhibition there. Our
impression IN regard to this system of light
ing will be discussed in future articles. At
this time we shall call attention to the
Wichita cracker factory in which the electric
light machine was on exhibition.
1t has been little more than year since
Messrs. Gehring & Phillips opened their
cracker factory at Wichita. Neither had
ever been engaged in that business.
OF course they made some mistakes
and had much to learn. They
have learned rapidly. Their large
two-story building is now perfect hive of
industry. From twenty-five to forty people
are employed. They manufacture all kinds
of cakes, cookies, crackers and caddies
Hundreds of boxes of these goods are
turned out every day. Last night at 10
o'clock the candy department was running
q large force. Our party stood by and saw
the entire process Of changing pure white
sugar into various forms of candy. While
We were looking on one set of hands con-
verted probably 100 pounds Of sugar into
sticks about an inch in diameter with the
letter w. c. T. U. running through the en-
tire length. Another set worked the same
amount with an excellent strawberry in the
center. We sampled the crackers, cookies,
candies, ETC., and we pronounce them first
class in every respect. Our people can have
them fresh every day, and they are indeed

Two session of the Christian convention
were held yesterday at the Presbyterian

was present, among whom were full sprink-
ling of divines. A number of questions
were discussed how best to promote the in
terests of religion. McGrannahan in the
forenoon gave few interesting remarks on
the service of songs as factor in religious
worship. Maj. White in a pleasant talk
gave "reminiscences of Rev. Mr.. Bliss, the
author of Gospel Hymns" now becoming
so universally recognized, and his con-
nection with him in the work.

PLASTERERS UNION.

The journeymen plssterers Of this city
held Il meeting at No. 3l9 Main street last
night for the purpose offorming plasterers
protective union.
Mr.. James Galens called the meeting to
order and Mr.. George Wheaton was elected
temporary secretary.
After the object of the meeting had been
explained by the chair, remarks upon the
conditions of the plasterers trade were made
by almost every plasterer present setting
forth their grievances. After q general in
terchange of views as to what action they
should take IN the matter, the following
preamble and resolutions. were moved and
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There are in this CITY, in
ferior plasterers who by reason of their
interiority rs p!ssterers, have contracted,
and are contracting for work at prices below
the cost of labor and material, thereby taking
the work out Of the hands of responsible
contractors and skilled mechanics, who are
in consequence unable TO pay us fair
recompense for our labor, upon which the
maintenance of ourselves and our families
hardship on ourselves and our families,
and
WHEREAS, We regard all such unskilled
mechanics and irresponsible contractors as
enimies to our trade and foes of our best in
terests; be il therefore
Resolved, That We, the undersigned jour
neymen plasterers of the city Of Wichita, in
council assembled, do pledge ourselves to
stand by the responsible contractors of this
city IN order to defeat the ends OF the afore-
said irresponsible parties.

Joseph Mason, A. Z. Manning, ID. X. Tam
many, John p. Smith, James J. Norton,
James Ga!ena, VIM. T. Baily, J. C. Miller,
A. NJ. Hamilton, c. Sherman.
On motion it was resolved to meet at the
same place on the evening Of the 10Th Of
this month, at $50 o'clock.
A motion OF thanks to Mr.. Barker for the
use of his shop was passed.
The meeting then adjourned, 10 meet
again as above stated.
At the time the writer received the pro-
ceedings Of this meeting he understood the
boys to say that they had held a meeting
for the purpose of forming regular plas
terers' union organization, with officers, etc.
but he must haye misunderstood, for no
such action was taken. The purpose Of the
meeting, therefore, seems TO be for the OBJ
ject of pledging themselves to stand by the
trade and the responsible contractors against
botches, who will do work of inferior order
for almost any price they can get, thereby
compelling their employers to reduce their
pay below living rates.
