to Rev. McEIfresh, seven miles south
west of this city, was struck by light
ming Thursday during the heavy storm

raining very hard, yet the flames arose
very high in spite of the rain.

All the troops have been removed
from Stevens county. The last COM
panies came up from Liberal last night
ON the Rock Island to Hutchinson and
were taken to their homes. One COM
pany belonging at Larned were taken
home on the local which passes through
here at o'clock p. m. The Rock Island
was an hour and a half late and the
Santa Fe was held for them and then
run as far as Larned when their destI-
nation is Nickerson, several miles this
side. The train men were complaining
of. sleepiness this morning, having
been out all night. Quiet has been re-
stored in the Hugoton neighborhood.
Our readers have doubtless often no

press is quick to recognize merit, and
does not hesitate to give praise where
it is due. The following is from the

FOR OLD PEOPLE!

In old people the nervous system is
weakened, and that must be strengthened.
One of the most prominent medical
writers of the day, in speaking of the
prevalence of rheumatic troubles among
the aged, says: {" The various pains, rheu-
matte or other, which old people often
complain of, and which materially disturb
their comfort, result from edisordered
nerves." There It is in a nutshell
the medicine for old people must be
nerve tonic. Old people are beset with
constipation, hatulency, drowsiness, diar-
Thea, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.

RESIST A REDUCTION.
A Manufacturing Firms Oppor-
tunity to BE Generous.

tunity to Be Generous.
On Saturday afternoon at the jumper
and overall factory of Shotwell. Cleri-
hew q Lothman, reduction of wages
of the girls, amounting to about II per
cent, went into effect. The women en-
ployes are very much depressed over
the fact and an effort will be made to
induce the firm to reconsider and restore
wages. The firm of Shotwell, Clerihew
81 Lothman, so far as the GLOBE is in
formed, has always been well disposed
and liberal toward its help. Thre weeks
ago Eva Gayupointed out several changes
in shop conveniences that should be
made, and it is to the credit of the firm
that they were made at once. The
shop is also one of the few in which the
foreman OF superintendent is firm and
strict without being petty and tyran-
meal. These facts lead the GLOBE to
hope the firm will patiently and in a
spirit of fair play hear the argument
ductlOn and be influenced by it if posi-
BILE.
The information is that the former
price of II cents per garment made is
to be reduced to IA cents, a reduction of
cents, or II per cent. Under the old
price, the experts can make but from
s. to 50 per week, while the average in
the shop is under Sc per week. The
girls think their lives and work are
worth more than this and naturally
fight against a reduction. The GLOBE
expresses no opinion, in the absence of
information from the other side, but
hopes the firm may see its way clear to
retaining in force the present prices.

''Never mind what is said. If you

From another source it was learned
that a great deal of correspondence is
passing about the Alliance in refer
ence to a convention to act on the
Scheffer Endorsement, but no informa-
ton could be obtained relative to the
matter of the correspondence. Labor
circles, in Minneapolis, which are in
close connection with the alliance, are
unanimous in their opposition to Schef-
fer and prominent characters say some
thing will be done, without specifying
what.

SUNDAY ON THE AVENUE.
Hilarious Time, With Horses and
BICYCLES, on Park Avenue.


Bicycles, on Park Avenue.
Several spirited horses with charming
female riders were seen going down
Park avenue yesterday afternoon at a
pretty lively gait. The refined elite of
society on the avenue seemed some
what astonished to think that there
were ladies in the city who had so little
respect for the Sabbath. This group OF
gay pleasure seekers, which numbered
six. kept riding back and forth for some
little time, until they had attracted
so much attention that they
began to think they were somewhat
conspicuous and then started their fiery
animals off on gallop on the road to
Minnehaha. The people on the avenue
had hardly ceased commenting Oh the
s'nerve" that the ladies had manifested,
before party of jockeys came along at
2:4O gait. When nearing Tenth street
the men stopped, and minute later a
large roll of greenbackS was placed in
the appointed judges fist, who imme-
diately counted them and then placed
the large amount of money in his
pocket. This the indignant people
thought was carrying things little too
far, and as the sports, who were
not recognized by the scribe, went sail
ing back the avenue at terrific pace,
the drivers could be distinctly heard,
half mile away, shouting ''Ha there!"
and ''Get there, Topsy." 1t was after
ward ascertained that it was a premedi-
tated race and was for $500 side. The
horse that won was owned in st. Paul.
1t was not more than thirty minutes
after the above unpleasant occurrence
before 'bicycle schooP' numbering
about twenty-five broke loose and went
sailing up the avenue rejoicing on their
way to sweet Minnehaha. The people
plainly demonstrated their apprecia-
ton of the beautiful weather yester-
day, especially on the above boulevard.

THE sAVIoR's MISSION.
He Game Upon Earth to Save Men
- From Destruction.


At Calvary Baptist church yesterday
morning Rev. George L. Morrill,
preached an interesting sermon on the
RSavior's Mission,'' from Luke xix, 10.
He said: s'ChriSt came to earth not as
a poet, philosopher, warrior or states
man, but as Savior. The incarnation
is inexplicable without the crucifxion.
Man is lost or the Bible is lie. Jesus
and His disciples merited their martyr
dom. All are lost who reject Christ, be
they scribe or Pharisee, keeper OF sa-
loon or brothel, or men and women who
look and feel very respectable. Char
acter and circumstances are not SynOny-
nous. Political, social, scientific and
educational advance has been made,
but human nature is just the same.
History affirms it. Man knows it and
must accept Him who came to seek and
save the lost or receive sentence of
Punishment from His presence. Outer
darkness worm that dieth not weep
ing and crashing of teeth are terms OF
an equation where unknown. quantity is
eternal despair. The mission of the
earth,' the light of the world and de
clared in the great commission, Go We,
therefore, and make disciples of all ma
tiOns.'
More has been done in the home and
foreign field than ever before, but the
church is barnacled with many who
think their duty is done when they
sing ''Safely Through Another Week."
and decide to attend the next literary
or social.
Mohammed had to 60 to the mountain.
We must 60 out into the highways and
hedges after the lost in the spirit of Our
Master who raised the son of the widow
of Main, restored the mind of the de-
moniac of Godora. The masses in our
city need tenderness as well as temples,
personal contact as well as prayers.
The Gospel is to make us brothers of a
common hOusehold-thi done the mil
lennium will dawn.
Religion is everything or nothing. 1t
costs money, time, strength and pa
thence, but should willingly be given
Him who bought us with his blood.
Success is as sure as the Word of God
and greater than any other possible in
vestment. Let the church arise and
shine and put on her beautiful gar
ments and we will become the praise
of the whole earth and joy of the Lord
