Be elected as delegates whom John Nell
son, the candidate from this county for
state senator, would not think his warm
friends. and felt that ii was due to him
and his friends that his intrests In the
matter be consulted, and that the method
he proposed would take but little time,
and would be fair to all persons. Other
wise one could not tell WHO was voting,
whether friends of Nelson or members of
the party or outsiders.
w. s. TiltOn thereupon suggested that
if Democrat got up to vote he he should
be told to sit down. He was in favor OF
receiving the vote 7T'a RICE
Mr.. Olson then arose and said so eX-
pediate time and ase all .airness possible,
I offer as an amendment to the motion be-
fore the house, that John Nelson. being
the most interested in the house, be al
lowed TO choose his own delegates that
meet on Monday in this place; let him
name the men, and will guarantee that
they will be ratified.
s. j. Osborn thereupon said that he
would accept the amendment, and let
Mr.. Nelson announce whom he wanted
for his delegates and alternates.
Lee Monroe then remarked, ''both par
ties having accepted the amendment, 1t
is practically the original motion. as
amended, that John Nelson be allowed TO
choose delegates and alternates for the
county convention 40 be held next Mon
day; that is the question before the con-
vention, to be accepted or rejected.
Mr. Olson thereupon remarked. "the
motion is now that John Nelson be al
lowed to choose delegates from this eau
Gus to select the delegates for the Colby
convention, and when he has named his
men it is for the convention to ratify, and
I'll guarantee that part of it."
Hereupon the chairman submitted the
motion as stated by Mr.. Olson, and the
amendment was carried.
Mr.. Nelson returned his thanks to the
caucus for honering him with the privilege
of choosing from their body the delegates
and alternates who were to select the del
egates to be sent to Colby in his interests,
and handed to the secretaries list of

Wa-Keeney, Kan., July Ia.

The meeting was called to order by the
temporary chairman, j. 81. Brown.
On motion of Lee Monroe, the temper
airy chairman was elected the permanent
chairman of the caucus.
On motion of s. J. Osborn, A. 5. Pea

S. J. Osborn then addressed the caucus
ON the most expedient manner of voting
for the delegates to be elected, and re-
marked that as there was a good many
persons present who did not belong to the
Republican party, lookers-on and visitors,

THE SACREDNESSS OF SEVEN.
A Mystic Number Which Appears
Throughout the Pages of Scripture.
Christian Observer.


Undoubtedly seven is the sacred
numbers. There are seven days Of
creation; after seven days respite
the foods came; the years of famine
and plenty were in cycles of seven;
every seventh day was a sabbath |;
every seventh year the sabbath OF
rest; after every seven times seven
years came the jubilee; the feasts OF
the unleavened bread and Of taber-
nacles were observed seven days;
the golden candlestick had seven
branches; seven priests with seven
trumpets surrounded Jericho seven
times and seven times on the sew.
enth day; Jacob obtained his wives
by seryitudes of seven years; Sam
son kept his nuptials seven days,
and on the seventh day he put a rid
die to his wife and he was bound
with seven green withes and seven
locks of his hair were shaved off;
Nebuchadnezzar was seven years Il
beast; Shadrack and his two com
panions in misfortune were cast into
furnace heated seven times more
than it was wont.
In the New Testament nearly
everything occurs by sevens, and at
the end of the sacred volume we
read of seven churches, seven can
dlcsticks, seven spirits, seven trum-
pets, seven seals, seven stars, seven
thunders, seven vials, seven plaques,
seven angels and a seven-headed
monster. Such are merely few in
stances of the sacred use Of the num-
her whose employment in this con-
nection seems common to all nations
and all religions.

WEALTH OR SUCCESS.
New York Star.

That riches are actually barrier
to success, is made evident in a new
edition of dictionary Of biography
and mythology, containing forty
thousand names; among all the
greatest of former times and the
names of living celebrities all over
the world-manufacturers and mer-
chants, as well as poets, heroes,
statesmen. etc. In this volume the
space given to all the men eminent
for wealth does not equal that as.
signed to one man like Shakespeare,
Luther, Franklin or Abraham LIN
coin. All the Rothschilds and AS
tors put together receive only as
many lines rs are accorded to Har-
riet Beecher Stowe. Cornelius Van
derbilt receives less attention than
Paeanini the fiddler, and A. I. Stew.
arts niche is as small as that occu
pied by Daniel Lambert the fat man.
And this apportionment seems to
be In strict accord with the degree
of popular interest felt in the various
personages. Even the three rich
benefactors, Girard, Geo. Peabody,
Sir Moses Montefiore, united, take
less room than John Wesley or Ma
thaniel Hawthorne. There is gen.
uine significance and something in
structive in this comparison. And
the fact that rich men constantly try
to secure regard and remembrance
by public gifts or legacies is a strik-
ing testimony to the truth that
nearly all persons recognize, though
it be but tacitly, the superiority of
other titles to fame than the mere
gathering of riches. The world,
sordid as it may seem ON too close
inspection, is after all governed in
the end by ideas rather than money.
1t is doubtless frequently true
that rich young men, despite their
advantages in some ways, find it
harder to win real distinction than
their poorer fellows. But it may be
doubted whether wealth is any more
barrier to real success than power
ty is. More poor men than rich be-
come famous, partly because there
are more poor people in the world.
Then, there are various kinds OF
success-even failures that are sue
-cesses-all Of which lead toward
progress by different roads.

PETTED TO DEATH.

The poor little baby is gone. what
ever the doctor may have written
his certificate, there are some friends
of the family who are sure that the
little object was fairly petted to
death. TWAS a forlorn, thin baby
bright and brave, but excitable, and
unfortunately, the only one in a large
family. Graudpap and grandmama
on both sides, the bachelor uncles,
and two vivacious young aunts in
their teens were all ready to assert
their rights 'to take care of baby"
and to "amuse her." Hardly had
the delicate body an hours rest in
the day. She was tossed in the air
and trundled over rough pavements
and carried in arms, and made to
smile and to give her attention to
whomsoever demanded it; that most
fatiguing mental exercise. When
she was sick the family were dOubly
attentive. She grew more and more
languid, though everything was done
Everything indeed! Was every baby
loved more and more injudiciously
treated by well meaning relatives?
1t has its just rest at last.

WHAT THE BIBLE HAS DONE

The least and NEST h0pefnl among
us are, know, sometimes disposed
to dependency and almost to des-
pair, as they witness such floods of
lawlessness and infidelity swelling
and sweeping over our own and other
lands, and dashing down so many OF
the old landmarks of morality and
religion. But we may all take COM
fort and courage in thinking of all
the great and glorious things which
the Bible has already done for man
kind since the opening of the Chris
tian era, and which can never be lost.
From what other source has all true
civilization, directly or indirectly,
eminated? What other influence has
so elevated humanity, so lifted the
poor and humble, so freed the op
pressed, so enlightened the ignorant
so incuicated peace and good will
among nations, so proclaimed the
brotherhood of man under common
Father, so restrained and rebuked
vice and crime, and brought the in
dispensable sanction of future re
sponsibility and future judgment to
the support of earthly laws and hu-
man government? From what other
pages than those of the Bible have
all the nobler philanthropics of mod
ern times derived their incentives
and examples? What can legisla-
ture do but confess that all its labo-
rious statutes are little more than
the detailed application to existing
society of the laws first promulgated
on Sinai, and of the two great CON-
mandments into which those laws
were condensed and crystalized by
him who died on Calvary? And
even science, after all the marvellous
discoveries it has of late accomplish
ed, and all the signal triumphs it is
of late achieving; now soaring to the
skies, questioning each particular
star and comet and remotest nebula
and analyzing the tints and texture
of the sun itself; now sounding the
depths of the sea and spreading out
its countless contents, animate and
inanimate, to he the subject of an
exposition for princes to inaugurate
and the world to admire; now search
ing and exploring the caves and cav
erns of the earth, and laying bare to
our insatiate gaze the long buried
treasures of Ilion or Assos, or the
hardly less interesting outcomes Of
mounds and shell-heaps in our own
lands; and now suspending over the
broad current which has'so long sep
arated two great sister cites that
stupendous bridge over which travel
and traffic may pass unimpeded from
hour to hour, and look down on the
tall ships sailing freely beneath them
even science, l say, in all the just
pride of these and 4 hundred other
successes, has never found, and new
er can fine, ANY other fixed and stead
fast point of departure, or any other
sure and final resting place to fall
back upon, save in that sublime an
nouncement, in the very first verse
OF the Bible, I'm the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth. y

UNBREAKABLE GLASS.
Chambers Journal.

Very little is heard now of tenn
pered or toughened glass for domes-
tic purposes, although year or two
back snch glass was much adver-
tised, and its praises constantly
sung. We understand that the rea-
son why it has at present disappear
ed from public notice, is that its ef
ticiency does not last. When fresh
from the factory, it can be dropped
from a height To the floor, and
knocked about with impunity. But
some gradual and not understood
change occurs in its constitution,
for after q short time it will 6y to
pieces without any apparent cause.
1t is said that unscrupnleus traders
who have stock of the faulty ma
terial, are selling it as ordinary
glass. Those, therefore, who expe-
rience unaccountable breakages, will
know tc what cause to attribute
them. A really unbreakable glass
would be such q boon that it is tC
be hoped that further experiment
will soon show how it can be manu-.
factured

The cup OF sorrow is IN constant
circulation, We must all drink, and
some Of us deeply. II is not mate
rial whose turn comes first; the
thing is to benefit by the dranght:

exclusion Of things eternal.

COMMON HONESTY.
BY REV. t. NJ. GRIFFITH.
Christian Companion.

Christian Companion.
Ministers are often asked by book
agents to give their names at re-
duced rate, or perhaps at a mere
nominal sum, to help ON the sub
scription list, by the influence of
their example. That means that
other persons would take the book
and pay for it, if they saw that their
pastor was willing to pay the price
demanded. They understand, Of
course, that he will pay the full
price, or at least with only the usual
clerical reduction. If he does not,
these names are obtained under false
pretcnces, and he is partaker of a
crime. a man who publicly sub
scribes for new church in order to
make It success by the help of his
name, then backs out under the plea
that he does lot feel able to pay and
only subscribed ''conditionally," is
dishonest man and the debt will
stand against him until he goes to
judgment.
There is a strange lack of honesty
in dealing with governments, muni-
cipal and national. How few are
willing to have just and equitable
assessment of their property, if they
can possibly persuade the assessor
to take less. Who will not escape
from the payment of duty if by any
art or trick it can be done? One
passenger will wear halt-dozen
gold watches, one of which he can
wear honestly. the other five were
bought in Paris for neighbors and
friends. He thus defrauds the gov
ernment out of 800 Another pas
senger perhaps has thousands of
dollars worth Of Brussels lace-deli
cate, rich, beautiful exceedingly
packed away among wearing appar-
ell in his trunk. He will sell it at an
enormous profit for he has paid no
duty. He does not reflect tina. steal
ing from Uncle Sam is just as mear
and wrong as stealing from John
Smith.
The crying want of the times is
for honest work How few work as
faithfully "by the day" as "by the
job" or work as well for others as
for themselves, promptly, carefully,
thoroughly. The poor girl who
learns to do housework in all its de-
tails just right, and keeps on doing
it eonscientiously, is a treasure in
any home, and will command good
wages; but most of her class neither
know, nor care how, to do honest
work. The politician who looks to
policy rather than to principle,serv
the sovereign public in the same
slipshod way as the careless girl in
the kitchen serves her mistress-the
one for pay, the other for popularity.
Even the lamented Lincoln, perhaps
the greatest of Americans, while so
honest as storekeeper that he would
walk mile to carry an ounce of tea
to woman who had accidentally
received short elght,applauded ard
helped the leaders of the Mexican
war, when he believed that every
battle was uncalled for and unjust,
because, forsooth, the "honor" of his
country was at stake. When will
the world learn that there is no hon.
or in anything short of absolute
honesty?
