4 RALLY FOR OUR SABBATH The
Sabbath Association of Berkeley Co.
and The Ministers Association of
Martinsburg, feeling the Importance
of awakening public attention TO the
monstrous growth of Sabbath desc
Grafton in our country and fearing
the judgement of God in vindication
of His Sabbath law, for which in
times past He has shown Himselfpe-
culiarly jealous; and deeply sensible
of the great injustice to the fully five
hundred thousand working men who
are compelled to work seven days i'll
the week, thus defrauding them of
the privileges of rest and worship;
and recognizing the influence of the
powers that be-" in the nation and
in the vast corporations of the land,
including the gigantic power of the
public press, in abatinG this dire
evil : do hereby beg leave to lay be-
fore the people of this city and of
the county of Berkeley, the subioin-
ed petitions addressed respective
ly to the Honorable the Senate, and
the House of Representatives of the
U. s. and to the presidents, manag-
ers &c. of the Railroads and the Tel
egraphs and to the Propristors &c.
of the Public Press of the country,
asking you to read carefully and
ponder this weighty subject. And
all adults, both men and women, are
earnestly invited and urged to sign
these petitions or to authorize their
names to be signed to them.
In furthsrance of this work, we
have appointed public meeting to
be held in the Central Opera House
on Sabbath afternoon, April goth, at
$3.50 O'Clock; and we cordially invite
all interested in this vital cause to
come together and consult of the
matter. Addresses will be made by
several persons. The choirs Of the
different churches of the city are re-
quested to join together in the ser
vice OF song.
Ministers throughout the county
are cordially invited to attend and
lend their aid.

TO the Honorable Senate of the Unit
ed States Of america
Your petitioners would respectful
ly represent that the Sabbath is the
dividing line between Christianity
and Heathenism that it is the bull
wark that shields our christian civil
cation against anarchy, with it's train
of lawlessness and barbarism; that
all labor done on that day, other than
works of necessity and mercy, is in
violation Of the divine law; that the
telegraph has SO utilized the forces of
electricity for the transmission Of in
telligence as to annihilate distance
and bring the people of the whole
world into close proximity with each
other; that the telegraph is now used
to transmit all important news, and
for the transaction of business be-
tween large commercial centers where
dispatch is an important factor, and
therefore there is no necessity for
running mail trains on the Sabbath.
Consequently the running Of such
trains on that day is in violation of
the law of God that our govern
ment should not ignore that law in
making its postal arrangements, but
should be in harmony with, and fore
most in, every endeavor to maintain
the integrity of the Sabbath that
there is an increasing demand for
more leisure and rest from labor and
business; that the government has
heretofore recognized the reasonable
ness of this demand by reducing tho
number Of hours required for days
work, that it should now recognize
the reasonableness of requiring but
six days for a weeks work, SO that
its employees may have a weekly rest
day; that it is unjust to require its
employees in the postal department to
work on Sunday while its employees
in every other department rest on
that day.
We therefore, citizens Of ...
Congressional District, State Of. -.
pray that you will enact such laws
and make such regulations as may
be required in order to discontinue
the running of the mails, and all mil
itary and naval parades, and close
the Post Offices on the Sabbath, and
thus we will ever pray.
To the Proprietors and Managers Of
the Public Press Of The United States:
GENTLEMEN The undersigned,
your patrons, friends and fellow-citi-
zens, would respectfully represent
that the Sabbath is the dividing line
between Christianity and Heathen-
ism; that it is the bulwark that
shields our Christian civilization

THE SOUTHERN scoURGs.

In discussing the yellow fever epidem-
ic in Florida. and the methods for pre-
venting its spread and finally getting
rid of it, the Hartford Courant says:
There is one method by which aid and
comfort might be given to the yellow fever
sufferers in Florida without danger OF
spreading the contagion, If only there was
the money and the brains to conduct 1t
properly. Steamboats, might be arranged
for hospital service and the patients
swiftly carried to a latitude beyond the
frost line. For that matter yellow fever
hospital might be established on some
island on the northeastern coast, to which
patients could be carried, and where per-
sons exposed to the infection could be
ouarantined. But to organize such an es-
take few hundred thousand dollars,
which is perhaps more expensive than the
present plan, and perhaps not One
steamer week would take all the new
cases. At the same time every case re-
moved in its earlier stages would lessen
the dangers Of the spread of the disease.
The plan suggested would undoubtedly
lessen the dangers of the spread of the
disease in the localities were it should
occur in that latitude, and it would also
shorten the period of its existence, be-
cause to remove persons to higher altl-
tudes or colder climates would more
rapidly develop the disease in persons
attacked by it. Our notion is that the
plan adopted by the state and national
authorities in the stricken districts of
thorough sanitation and establishing refu
gee camps to which the people can go for
temporary residence is the most effective
as well as economical one that can be
employed.

A POLITICAL PREACHER.
Newton Republican.

Newton Republican.
Rev Gilbert De La Matyr lectured here
yesterday on the Union Labor idea,
whatever that may be. Mr.. De La Matyr
is a gentleman who, after great deal Of
pulpit practice, took to political speaking,
was sent to congress, where he did not
amount to as much as bump on a log.
Since his congressional experience he has
kept up the practice of mingling relig-
lous and political talking, and it would
be strange if man who has scheme
for talking every day in the week and
every week in the year was not
a good talker. But Mr.. De La Martyrs
song, though sung better than by our
local warblers, was essentially the same
melody. The times are hard: the gov
ernment-the meanest in the world
has made them hard; some people have
too much money, and others have not
enough, the government should even the
thing up, and give every man all the
money he wants. As no government
ever did this, or ever will, the oratory of
Mr.. De La Matyr was wasted: and being
a waste it was unimportant, whether,
merely considered as oratory, it was
good, bad or Indifferent.

CHENEY CREAMERY

! To the Editor Daily Eagle
Pretty soon Cheney Is to have one of
the finest creamery and cheese factories
in the whole state of Kansas. There are
three gentlemen now soliciting stock,
and we Judge from what was told us by
one of the solicitors that at the close of
another week the entire stock will be
sold. 1t will be something in the
neig hborhood of a seven thousand dollar
plant and is to be sold in fifty dollar
shares. This will certainly be the wisest
farmers of Cheney have ever made.
Look at it as it presents itself, at the
present time. The farmers, or at least
too many of them, think of dong moth
ing but raising corn and wheat, and
when they fail as they have to 4
considerable extent this year. then what
do you find them doing? Here it is.
Mr. A or IS. or what ever the banker.
dry goods man, and more especially the
grocerymans name may be, Its gettin
orful dry: my crops been ruined; fraid
it amt going to make me enough to pay
my grocery bill, and you'll have TO carry
me over another year.
Now, instead of this, let US have the
sand TO establish the different enterprises
here in the great state of Kansas that
viii give TO the farmer some ready cash
at all seasons of the year. such as sugar
factories. creamery and cheese factories,
and surely the latter can be secured by
almost every county in this part OF the
state.
\ great many may say it
! s[
our time IN delivering the milk to the
creamery, etc., etc. Now, let those who
think that Just raise their corn and
wheat exclusively, and at the end of five
wears figure their standing to the side of
his neighbor who has taken a couple of
hours each day to deliver his stuff to
creamery market and has fine herd of
cows and calves and a pen full of fat
hogs to sell TO Jacob Dold & Son, and
other large packing concerns of Wichita,
this fall.
Those are the kind of farmers needed
in Kansas. Make mich COWS of your
''she cattle; manage them so they viii
have q value other than throwing them
upon the market TO be slaughtered
in prices by large combines. Now. farm
ers. certainly and surely, what we want
is what Wichita wants. and that Is the
different enterprises that viii aid us in
growing and keeping our choice cattle
and hogs at home until they are ripe and
ready for market. And remember. how
ever fine the stock may be, our wonder
city. Wichita will be able to utilize il
long before we can produce il. and the
way to do this is 10 pay more attention
TO our she cattle and make them fur
nish, simply by close milking. four gal
ions of milk instead of one or two. and
thus raise better calves ard better hogs !
and above All things we can have little /
cash, at eli times of the year. P. B. d.

THE SIDE SHOW IN YELLING TON

From the Sumner County Press.
Rev. Bodkin and ':me too" Monroe ex-
hibited at the court house in this city
last Thursday. The prohibitory law is
not enforced in manner to please ''us. y
The us, so far as his audience represent
ed the third party ever consisted of
twelve or fifteen voters as near as we
could judge. AS the governor sat down
he called up Monroe-a Campbellite
preacher-or rather Christian preacher.
The burden of song of these two
worthless, was the Wichita EAGLE and
Murdoch, SO that the impression we got
was that the EAGLE had been kicking
couple of very small-bore politi-
clans into notoriety, giving them good
deal of free advertising, like it has the
pork packing, glue factory, and other
institutions of that town. Ii they come
all the way down here to air their opin-
ions of the EAGLE we think they wasted
their time, because melody cares any
thing about the quarrel between
Wichita's leading daily and her poll
ticians, that we have heard of.
Both gentlemen seemed extremely
anxious that collection be taken. They
urged this. What for? To electioneer
for Bodkin. What for? Echo answers
as to the benefit of the people.
They made no converts here.

FOOD FOR SUMNER.
Heat Producing Food MischIevous In the
Hot Months-Our Drink.

Hot Montls-Our Drink.
In our climate the temperature may range
during a single year through 30 degs. in the
shade, though a range of more than 10 degs.
is unusual. Our food requirements in sum
mer differ from those IN winter One of the
chief uses of food is TO produce heat within
our bodies, for heat is as much an essential
part of us as is muscle, nerve or bore A
variation of few degrees Of animal heat
either way is fatal. The temperature of the
human body in state of health is the same
the world over-in Greenland and at the
equator. Animal heat is generated within
the body by wonderful chemical processes,
from the raw material furnished by food.
Nature within US and nature without us
work together herein. Some foods merely
generate heat; others nourish, or furaish
force.
Now an unvitiated appetite Graves and re-
jects, according TO the need. The Green
lander Graves heat producing fat, but food
into which fat largely enters is unsuited to
summer. Sugar, also, Is mainly heat pro-
Queer; therefore cakes and sauces, rich in
sugar and fat, are nischievous in the hot
months. The system, already weakened by
the heat without, is further heated by the
heat elaborated within, and is still further
weakened and rendered susceptible to disease
by its inability TO assirni!ate what NAV have
been digested This throws exhausting work
on the eliminating organs.
Here again we see the harmony Of nature
within and without. In summer the normal
taste Is for the fresh vegetables, In which
nature il then so lavish. Most Of these
vegetables have little heating property.
Moreover, they abound in water, which tho
system then demands
Again. cold is n tonic, and long continued
heat a depressant. IN winter digestion ia
more vigorous. and this makes the appetite
better. In summer, therefore, our food mus,
be less In quantity. Indeed, quantity then
tails more unfavorabIy on health than dos
quality. The getting nd u waste keeps tie
eliminating organs at g high and dangerous
tension. and that. too. when weakened By
climatic conditions. Yet many persons eat
the same IN summer as in winter, and spur
their feeble apostles with various stiz1u-
la1ts II IL not wonderful that, when the
