Christmas in PhiIE1psburg.

Christmas was observed in Phillips
burg IN the usual manner. The Pres
byterian, Methodist and Baptist de-
nominations all gave their Sabbath
School children a treat in the way of
Christmas entertainments.
The Presbyterian Sabbath School
had tree" On Tuesday evening and
it was loaded down with presents of
all kinds. The superintendent took
special pains to see that every child
that was a member of the Sabbath
school got a present Of some kind.
The church was fairly crowded and
the exercises consisted of songs, reel
tatiOns, music. etc, and was very
much enjoyed by all present, the old
as we'll as the young.
At the NJ e. Church they had a
very beautiful evergreen tree. that
was purchased at Lawrence, Kansas,
and the church was decorated with
evergreens from floor to ceiling. The
presents were so numerous that it
was impossible to place them all on
the tree, which was almost covered
with beautiful gifts of all kinds. The
exercises were very interesting and the
church was uncOmfOrtably crowded,
many leaving that could not gain ad-
mission.
The Baptist Sunday School held
their entertainment on Wednesday
evening in their new church building.
They had a frame work erected in the
shape of a pyramid, and it was load
ed with beautiful Christmas presents
from top to bottom. Old Santa Claus
also appeared and brought many more
presents that he gave away to the
happy and expectant little folks il
attendance. A very interesting pro
gram was carried out and enjoyed by
all present.
The day was happily and usefully
one in Phillipsburg.

County Attorney Shearer has had
several violaters of the prOhibitory
law in tow lately. In the matter of
Chas. Ellsworth, alias Rickenberger,
the State accepted a plea of guilty on
one count for selling whisky and he
was arraigned before Squire Towns
ley, who fined him one hundred dol
lars and costs and 80 days in jail. The
other counts In the District Court
were dismissed upon payment of all
costs, amounting TO $40. The defend
ants mother, Mrs Zimmerman, be-
fore she was arrested, left for parts
unknown. Mrs M. J. GRllop was
arrested last Saturday noon and Plac-
ed in jail with her husband, charged
with nine counts In violation OF the
prohibitory law. This virtually closes
the joints near the depot which have
been of public nOtriety ever since the
railroad was built to Phillipsburg.

miles of his residence. He has lost
none. He says he feeds his cattle a
little grain and some Kafir corn, a
nice lot Of which he raised this year.
He also gives them some turnips once

THE DisDnfch DroDoses TO omen nm

The Dispatch proposes to open up
a theological war on the editor of this
paper though we never said anything
about his religion; in fact we never
knew he had any and never heard any
body say he hal religion. If he has,
he is entitled to enjoy it as we have
ours. That is one of the grand feat
ures Of this good government that
we all have the right to worship COD
according to the dictates of our own
cOnsciences. IF. however, the Dis
patch man thinks otherwise. and pro-
poses to deny US that right, and is de-
termined to hop on to us', then let
him open the ball We are not only
ready to defend our own faith and
practice, but are prepared to say some
things about ATcNay's faith and prac-
tice, especially about his practice.
