KANSAS CHURCHES.

Winfield Courier: The revival wave
seems to have struck Winfield. On all
sides earnest workers are laboring for
the advancement of Christianity. The
meetings held in the Methodist church
both in the city and at the college, have
been very fruitful and many souls have
entered upon new and higher sphere
of life. Meetings have also been held
in other churches, and the same results
obtained. Good congregations were
present at all the various places of wor-
ship last night and the interest contin-
ues undated. The second NJ. E.
church is also holding revival service
at their hall on north Main.

The six-year-old child of Henry
Blanks had remarkable escape in the
steamboat explosion which occurred
near New Orleans on Oct. 3. He was
blown high into the air by the explo-
sion and landed in the water. It so
happened that when he rose to the sur
face he caught hold of piece of wood
and held on until he was rescued. He
was more frightened than hurt.

Houston Uex.) Post, November 1.
While making his usual rounds yesterday d
Post representative happened in Sam Raj
phael's cigar store. As the two had not
met in some time, the conversation at last
drifted to Sans good fortune in holding
one-twentieth of ticket No. 1888, which
drew the $4,000 prize in the October draw
ing of The Louisiana State Lottery. Natur-
ally of course, Sam seemed much pleased at
having held the winning number, and as.
sured The Post man that he wou continue
his business on the same scale and devote
his personal attention to his trade as for
merly. Inreplyt the question as to whether
he had any trouble in getting the money
from the Lottery Company, he said that
Uncle Joe Baldwin, who held another twen-i
tieth of the same ticket, and he both sent
their tickets through the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company and promptly received the
money through the same company. The
Post man then said goo1-day and started IN
search of Uncle Joe Baldwin, but failed TO
end him.

HENRY ExALL, of Richmond, Va,
claims to have suggested tower SIM

tower as long ago as 1875. He says
Il have yet my plans, and only last
year proposed to the Mayor of Chicago
to put them in the hands of some OF
the rich and enterprising men in that
city, where the tower would make a
grand show near the edge of the lake,
and over large extent of country.
The Mayor replied that the city gov
eminent could not enter on such a
scheme, and he did not propose to IA
vor it SO much as to propose it to the
citizens"

The Electoral College of 1883 had
401 votes, with POI necessary to an

bring the electoral total up to 414

HENRY SMITH, of Brook Center,
Conn, was in the highway on his way
to his days work in the fields when he
suddenly beheld in the road what
seemed to him a curious circus. A
blacksnake, six-footer, was curled on
the ground, but instead of having a
head, as the serpents Mr.. Smith had
been familiar with all had, this snake
seemed to begin and end in tails.
Eager to know the mystery of his
queer construction, if possible, Smith
picked up stone and hurled it at the
strange reptile. He didn't hit him, but
the mystery came apart in the middle.
The big black fellow had swallowed
about half of another one that was
nearly as large, and of the same spe-
cies, but instantly he disgorged him
when the stone struck the ground.
Both snakes were lively and slipped
into the roadside wall before the man
could find another missile.

The grading of fresh fruit before it
is packed or sent to the cannery from
orchards and vineyards in the far West
is done cheaply and successfully by
several rival machines. Raisins are
stemmed and graded by machinery.
Almonds are hulled by very useful
and cheap contrivance in use in most
of the orchards. The parers, corers,
and various kinds of knives used are
nearly all of the Pacific coast styles.

The old chestnut, which attributes to
the milkman an aversion for the old
hymn, ''Shall We Meet Beyond the River
When the Surges Cease to Roll?,' is a
grand libel on a useful and inter-
esting section of humanity. Milk
men are as conscientious in their
business as the grocer, the baker or the
butcher, and if occasionally sediment
of sand is found in your tea, it is just as
likely to have come from the sugar or
from the milk. The laws that surround
and govern the milk trade are certainly
more stringent than the restrictions in
almost any other trade. They are as
well enforced as any other laws too
and the milkmen are becoming gradual
ly educated to the point of knowing
that they are dealing in a life-giying or
death-dealing article. The country
that surrounds Minneapolis is rich in
dairy farms, whose ease of access to the
city is such, that there could be no ex-
cuse for the sale of an inferior article.
The dairy commissioners reports, too,
show that this section is comparatively
free from the inroads of vendors of
adulterated milk. In the words of the
poet, Minneapolis may sell bad water,
but bad milk, never.

and other spices into his milk" and

associates the milkman with disease
and death. He hears of him only
through the reports of the dairy com
missioner, and. occasionally, by the me-
dunn OF an Indictment by the gran d
jury, and none of these things incline
him to love the milkman. If the baby
grows sick it is the milk that is at fault.

again 1t is the milk. If the crops are
short; if the oldest hopeful is fired from
school: if the chickens die, the cats
fight. or the dogs play hanky pankv
with the flower garden, it is always the
milk. The poor man who rings his
modest chimes of bells under the win
dow at a. H., is looked upon as an
enemy OF society. and everything wrong
is superstltiously aScribed to his mach
nations.
1t ought to be needless to point out that
this is a wrong impression of a useful
functionary. Nearly every one of the
milkmen who supply the Minneapolis
trade. lives outside the city limits, along
the shady lanes. and by the babbling
brooks. among the undulating meadows
OF the country. They rise with the lark
and hear the whistling of birds, and the
rush of the lightning express. Cool
breezes fan their cheeks, and the rising
sun tints their ragged hat briIns, and
tinges with yellow beauty the out
lying districts of their rustic garments.
After frugal breakfast, the milkman
takes a quart can upon mis- arm and goes
forth to milk his cows. Straining the
product through seventeen courses. he
puts it aboard his fast going
wagon, and merrily drives to the

ANGRY CONTRACTORS
Demand the Reason for Reject.
ing Court House Bids.

The committee on construction of the
court house commission met yesterday
morning to open bids for the iron of the
basement and endorsement of the
building. This is the second time the
committee has met for this purpose.
Last Tuesday 1t opened bids and de-
cided to recommend the rejection of
them all. Yesterday the contractors
whose proposals were rejected were on
hand to protest against the proceeding
of Tuesday. They claimed that the
action of the committee on the
grounds alleged, that the specifca-
tons had not been complied with
in detail, was unprecedented. {.
W. HerZog and L. S. Gillette
of the HerZog Manufacturing company.
which had the lowest bid for the floor
beams, etc., claimed that the bid should
not have been rejected. Mr.. HerZog adj
dressed the board for half an hour, and
went into the details OF the advertising
for, reception and opening Of the bids.
Representatives of the Crown Iron
works and the st. Paul Foundry COM
pany also protested against the rejection
of their bids, and claimed the contract
on parts of the work. The committee
thought the matter important enough
to be referred to the board itself, and a
quorum being present, it went into eX-
ecutive session. The sentiment of the
board was favorable to the action of the
committee, which thereupon went into
executive session on the new bids. and
on adiourning declined to publish its
conclusions before the meeting of the
board on Monday.
