The Huron Democrat, whose editor is
ut least reader of no mean capacity,
practically misquotes the United States
constitution by intimating that it reads,
Congress shall make all needful rules
and regulations for the government of
territory" And, in another place, "Con-
gfess must prescribe the rules and regu-
lations for its aterritory's) government"
The language of the constitution is,
Congress shall have power to dispose OF
and make all needful rules and regula-
tions respecting the territory or other
property belonging to the United States"
The word territory here means simply
lands. or extended possessions, as dis
tinguished from "other property" and
not government" as applied to people,

A most contemplate theft was
perpetrated in this city last week by
a party or parties unknown. Mrs.
T. J. Harrison had, by close eeono-
my, saved from her meagre means
the sum of $1,000, with which she
proposed to discharge an obligation
contracted several months previously.
The amount was treasured in her
own home in spot only known to
the frequcnters of the house. When
she went to take it from its hiding
place it was gone, and no destinct
traces were left by the thief. The
finger of suspicion points in certain
direction, but not with enough GER
tainty to warrant arrest. No more
despisable deed could be conceived
than an able bodied man stealing the
hard earned savings Of woman,
but such, undoubtedly, is the fact Of
the instance noted. Mr. w. p.
Blackwood very kindly presented
the lady' case to our citizens who,
by small subscriptions, made good
her loss.

The tent still draws the people Of
our quiet little city. The subjects
presented are new and interesting.
The elders say they do not claim to
know the exact time OF the end, and
that the people they representative
Seventh Day Administrative ncv-
err set the time for the Lord to come.
They believe, however, that His
coming is very near; so near that
men now living will witness the
event. This conclusion Is drawn
from the fulfillment of certain proph-
ecies found in the book of Daniel,
and from the signs which Christ
himself said should Immediately pre-.
cede his coming. Prominent among
these are the darkening Of the sun
and moon May I9, 1880, and the
falling Of the stars November IS,
1888. Matthew "a :34, they interpret
to mean that generation which should
see the signs would also live to see
the event. They do not ask the
people to accept their peculiar views
without a careful and candid investi-
cation, yet they seem quite sanguine
in the belief that results of such IN
vestigation will lead many to the
same conclusions. To assist the
students Of the Bible, they have
tracts carefully prepared on all the
subjects thus far presented. They
are sticklers the Bible as a for whole,
believing that it is all inspired, and
that it contains much light and in
struction for our time.
The subject Of this evenings dis
course, as announced, is "The Law

pensations. This will be followed
by discourse on the institution of

A Happy Surprise.

The Cornet Band, which derives
so much enjoyment from frequently
surprising our citizens with sere-
nades, had the tables very neatly
turned upon them last evening.
After serenading Mr.. and Mrs.
Phelps they thought to favor Frank
Gleason and family with few Sc
lections. When they had played
several pieces Mrs. Gleason extended
them an invitation to come in, which
they gladly accepted. When they
were fairly in the sitting room the
doors Leading to the DINING room
flew open and displayed to view two
tables richly spread with all the
delectable edibles one could wish to
see. The boys were seated at one
table and intently engaged in com.
plimenting its tasty arrangement and
contemplating its devastation, when
there filed in ten young ladies, come
ly and fair to see. This made the
boys cup Of happiness full to the
brim and they think that Mr.. and
Mrs. Gleason, their young ladies
and the little children, compose the
incest and best family to be found in
Iowa. A happy hour was passed in
doing justice to the bounteous sup.
per, after which social festivities
were enjoyed until about o'clock,
during which time the boys paid es-
pecial attention to the older children
of Mr.. Gleason's happy family. The
band was made the recipient Of a
purse containing twelve shining dol
lars, presented by the hostess. Al
late hour the company departed
invoking continued worldly and
heavenly blessings upon the hospit-
able family in their spacious and de-
lightful home. The young ladies
who added SO much pleasure to the
evenings entertainment were the
Misses Hattie, Mabel and Alice
Walker, Mollie and Belle Dawson,
Ella Stearns, DeEtte Foster, Essie
Thompson, Lillian Haddock, Lizzie
Moore and Emma Norris.
