She Wasn't Stage struck-A Man q
Strange Death from Mad
Dogs Bite.

A prominent young dry goods man
had occasion yesterday to feel so
cheap that he would have traded
himself for a wooden tooth pick
and thought he had made bargain.
He was waiting on a young lady,
and noticing that she was a stran-
ger, his curious nature prompted
him to mental questioning of who
she might be. Finally, however,
curiosity got the better of him and
he asked:
"Beg pardon, but aren't you a
member of one of the theatrical at
fractions now in the city?n
The young lady looked at him
witheringly and the clerk accord.

"P-perhaps I'm mis-Ah, that

the man, turning a beautiful red.
Then the young lady spoke: "Do

you see anything about me to indi-
cate that | banker for the glare of
the footlights? No, you needn't
mind wrapping this up. It's not
quite the shade 1 wanted, anyway"

BATTLE GREE

the words themselves. Now some
speculative theologian may call
these points first principles, and
so they are, but when honestly.
truly and humbly accepted they
put the recipient into the Kingdom
of the Lord Jesus Christ on earth,
and that is more than half the bat
tie. If in the Kingdom then he is
subject to the will of the King, who
lis in this case supreme and abso-
lutte. The next thing for him to
do is to obey the Kingin all things.
He must be loyal subject. He
must not commit treason. He can
only go where the King permits.
He can make no laws, rules or reg
ulations. He has no authority to
legislate. He can't set up his will
in anything. If the King has said
in his opinion too much he can't
abate or abridge it. If he has said too
little he can't add to it. The King
says, let it alone. Treason
may consist in levying war, as the
angels did in heaven Oh one occa-
sion. Or it may consist in adhere
ing to the Kings enemies, giving
them aid and comfort. If you do
not make war yet if you join in
with those restless spirits who
have attempted to organize govern
ments within the Kingdom, as they
suppose, in aid of Jehovah and
who build up ecclesiastieies or
so cieties not authorized by the
word of God, you are as guilty Of
treason as If you had made open
war. For if one can organize a
system of government i'll the church
then all others have same rights,
and this sanctifies all the human
machinery of earth, against which
we warn you. If God be God,
serve him, but if Paul be God serve
him. Ie cannot serve God and

"There came under my notice re-
GENTLY" said Judge Guthrie yes
terday afternoon, "a very strange
case of death resulting from the
bite of mad dog. An old man
named Moore, of near Platte City,
was sitting on his porch reading a
newspaper, when he noticed a
strange dog in the yard in front of
him. Without getting up from his
seat, Mr.. Moore merely shouted
'Begone!' at the animal. The dog,
instead of leaving, plunged forward
and iii moment had bitten Mr..
Moore ON the side of the neck.
With rare presence of mind, the
gentleman grabbed the animal by
the throat and held it until Mrs.
Moore arrived with a hoe. The
dog was soon dispatched and Mr..
Moore took the next train for Kan
sas City. Arriving there, well
known mad stone was secured.
When applied to the wound, the
stone adhered for time and then
dropped off. 1t was applied sew
eral times and Mr.. Moore went
home satisfied that the poison had
been entirely extracted from his
system. In fortnight, the gentle
man was taken slightly ill with
fever. Upon recovering, he said
he felt that his time was drawing
near and that he would die of hy-
drophobia. In a day or two the
first spasm came. After it was
over, Mr.. Moore walked about his
home, conversing lntelligently with
his family and neighbors. He told
them that he would die at 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon, but just which day
he did not tell them. : / think,
said he, that my demise will occur
on the fourth day. The second
spasm soon came, followed by
others IN rapid succession. The
customary test of bringing water
into the presence of the patient
was made, with the usual results.
Mr.. Moore was rational when not
suffering with the convulsions and
he talked calmly about his ap-
preaching death. Exactly at 2
O'Clock on the third day, at the end
of fearful csnvulsion, Mr.. Moore
died. 1t is not known that the dog
which poisoned him bit anyone
else, but it is almost certain that
other lives were saved through the
presence of mind of poor Mr..
Moore"

Elections This Year.


Elections are to be held this year
in Is states. The four new ones,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington, are to choose
their congressman, as well as state
officers and legislatures. Kentucky
is to vote on Monday next, August 5,
for a state treasurer. Ohio,
Virginia, New Jersey; Massa-
chusetts, Iowa and Mississippi will
elect governors. In New York the
secretary of state is the highest
officer to be chosen; in Pennsylva-
MIA, the state treasurer; in Ne
braska, a judge of the supreme
court, and in Maryland, the state
comptroller.
In Ohio the record of the Harri-
son administration will not figure
to any great extent. 1t is Cover
nor Foreaker's personal campaign.
In New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey attention will be drawn
chiefly to the official acts of the
Republican party. In Iowa and
N ebraska, both republican, the
prohibition question will present
itself and cause probable reduc-
tion of the republican majority.

season. A grown son of the farmer
ON hearing this, said; "Pa, will you
give me sheep If l will not drink
this season." eyes," replied the
father, "you may have a sheep"
Then the little boy spoke up and
said: "Pa, will you give me sheep,
too, if I'll not drink" eyes, son,
you shall have sheep ALSO" After
a moments pause the little boy
turned to his father and said: "Pa,
hadn'ty you better take II sheep, ,too?'
The father must have felt sheepish.

Be careful how you speak of a
woman's character. Think how
may years she has been in building
it, of the tolls and privations en-
dured, of the wounds received, and
let no suspicion follow her actions.
The purity of women is the saliva
tion OF the race, the hope of future
greatness, the redemption of man.
Wipe out her purity and man sinks
beneath the wave of despair with
no star to guide his life into chan
mel of safety. Think then before
you speak and remember that any
hog can root up the fairest flower
