THE DAILY
PUTTING CHARITY UPON THE STRETCH.

The Elele man is unhappy and who
can blame him? In common with
many professional patriots, white,
brown and mixed, he signs for 1.-The
days that are no more," and are
never likely to be again, in this
country. As the Children of Israel,
in their desert wanderings, looked
back regretfully towards the flesh
pots of the Egyptian bondage, so
these worthless, reduced to the I'M
welcome and unaccustomed necessity
of working for living in a world
whose practical maxim is root hog
or die" long for return of the time
when they could walk up TO the trea-
sury on the last day of each month
and "collar" a neat pile of coin for
working the various little rackets
the "old man" had always on hand,
and all under the convenient guise
of rendering public service.
No wonder it gives them the heart
ache, and the stomach ache, and
narrowing doubt if life is worth
living, as they remember how they
used to enlarge their circumferences,
aud stimulate their abdominous in
tellectual faculties, aud lubricate
their souls with the multitudinous
good things dealt out without money
and without price from the bounte-
Gus larder of Gibson's hash house.
Such grief is natural and pardonable
We fancy we might even-with the
aid of an onion-squeeze out few
sympathetic tears from our own
arid eyelids.
But it is really a little too bad that
the intensity of the dear boys feel
ings should betray him into such an
exhibition as he made of himself the
other day in the Elele. Not even a

HONORs TO KIMBERLY.

Admiral Kimberly is being over
whelmed with hOnors by the natives.
Fanua, the maid of the village and
chief silva dancer, danced figure
especially in his honor at an enter
tainment given to the officers a night
or two since, and then offered to kiss
him.
Yesterday morning, and again to
day, talolos were given in his honor.
A talolo consists of a clan of natives
gathering up all the spare cocoa
Outs, chickens, young pigs, bread
fruit, bananas, eggs, tarO, etc, IN
their territory, and then marching
in procession to the music Of a drum
to the presence of the person to be
honOred, and there dumping the
animal and vegetable gifts at his
feet, and fleeing back to the brush as
speedily as possible.
The system has its advantages in
that it requires no speechmaking,
and there is no room to doubt the
sincerity Of the givers. The Admiral
would require the appetite and
united stomach of an army 10 get
away with a 1.-THE of the eatables
shOwered on him by the two talolos.
He sent the chickens mainly to the
hospitals and the fruit to the sailors,
and today wrote to Aataafa request
ing him to restrain his people from
further offerings, not that he did not
appreciate them, but he understood
the hurricane had left the people
short of provisions, and it would give
him more pleasure to know that they
had plenty than to accept their
offerings.

light head, heavy heart and an
aching stomach can entirely excuse
a man for so disregarding facts and
fairness as to make quotations from
an anonymous letter in the Bulletin,
and charge them to the account OF
the reform party in general and the
ADVERTISER in particular.
The make up of the principal ar
ticle in the last number Of the
mOurner's own, alias Elele, was as
follows: First, number Of detach
co and entirely disconnected quota
t. Jns were made from various artl
cies which have appeared in the AD-
vFRTIsER. These were printed all
f..ong in a string, without reference
to the sense in which they had been
used, the circumstances under which
t4ey had appeared, or the context by
which they were accompanied. We
fear the fervor Of the writer's emo
tions prevented him from realizing
wI1t a very old trick this is, as we'll
a , what a very poor one.
By a diIigent application of this
method, any person who has written
much, can be made to appear in al
most any light his quoter desires,
and represented as advocating any
side of any question, without the
slightest regard to the opinions
he may really hold or have ex-
pressed. Sophistical theologians and
! logic-chopping sectaries of all kinds
are particularly fond of dealing with
the Bible after this schoolboy fash
ion. By quoting one part of the
book without regard to any other
part, by wrenching text from con
text, and picking out sentence
here, a verse there, and a clause any
where, and putting them together to
suit themselves, these people have
made the sacred volume appear as
endorsing innumerable and directly
opposite doctrines.
To illustrate the Elele's style OF
argument, we will call the attention
of the editor to the following scrip
tural quotations, with which, being q
good churchman, he is of course
familiar They are no more discon
nected, and not half as irrelevant az
the quotations he has made from the
ADVERTISER and Bulletin. Thus
Judas went and hanged himself
$50 thou and do likewise" "Tha
thou doest, do quickly"
But this survivor of the times be
fore the flood is not satisfied will
making chopped feed out of the
sound mental and moral provendel
supplied by the ADVERTISER. TX
have our articles put upside down
our reasoning turned end for end
and our opinions represented a
being exactly the reverse of wha
we have expressed, is too common
an occurrence to be worth motto
ing. But when it comes to putting
right along with the garbled ez
tracts from the ADVERTISER, the mos
insulting and brutal expression
concerning natives, from tn
" Equity" letter in the Bulletin
and then charging the whole con
bination upon ourselves and on
friends, even our lamblike dispos
ton is subjected to a tension a littl
greater than it can quietly bear. W
submit that not even the most Ill
eral Interpretation of the CHART
, due the unfortunate and suffering
nor all possible allowance that ca
= be made for the natural irritation {
tt } unsuccessful politician and d
ispiGated "oUt," can justify the wa
in which the Elele is taking on.

ANOTHER TEMPLE.
The II. E. Church at Wocdbine Dedi.
Gated to the Worship Of God.

WOODBINE, KaS., Nov. 12.-ISpecia
correspondence Our people had beer
looking forward with a great degree OF
interest to the dedication of our NJ. E.
church. The impetus to building tie
edifce was given by Messrs. Jas. A.
Gillett, Joe GIllett and w. II. Holm
ger subscribing $500 to the fund,
and the NJ. E. church, although weak
in WOOdbine, concluded to push the
matter to successful end. For some
time the building had been completed,
but a crushing debt of about $425
stood in the way of its dedication.
Foes arose on every hand and those
who ought to have been friends were
discouraging the pastor in many ways.
Notwithstanding every opposition,
however, Sunday, Nov. 10th, was an
nOunced as the day of dedication by
our pastor, Rev. \. j. Nathan, and
Rev. IL. 4. Goblin ID. d. consented to
officiate.
Quite large congregation gathered
and DR.. G obin preached an excellent
sermon and captured the hearts of the
audience and, as was proved later on.
their pOcketboOks, too. Mr.. e.. q.
Gillett was made secretary. After
wald the statement of the debt was
made by Rev. Nathan and as the audi
encewas beginning to feel somewhat de-
pressed, our town father, Mr.. GilletJ,
said that in addition to what he had al
ready given he would donate the last
$50, if the rest was provided for.
To make long story shOrt-after
some hard work all was raised and the
building was sOlemnly dedicated to the
service of the Lord. The hearts of the
community were rejoiced and the pas
tor made glad; those opposed to the
success of this noble enterprise were
mad and it is again demonstrated that
WOOdbine never does anything by
halves. We have church building of
which any community may be proud
and almost every cent of the money
was contributed by our own people
within a radius of five miles. Dickiu-
son county is county of schools, COL
leges and churches.

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton

Just as the church bells were ringing
for worship yesterday morning the soul
of Mrs. Elizabeth Thornton took its
flight to It's Maker. Mrs. Thornton has
been suffering from pneumonia and
other lung difficulties for some months
and the end has long been foreseen.
Conscious though she was that the
earthly life was nearly over she met her
end bravely and firm in her belief in a
future passed into the beyond.
Mrs. Thornton was born in 1880, thus
being So years of age. She spent her
earlier years in Connorsville, Ind, COM
ing to Kansas in 1871 with her husband,
the late T. L. Thornton. Since that
time she has been a resident of this
city with the exception of few months
spent in California during the past year
in the hope of lettering her health.
Four girls are left to mourn her de-
cease: Miss Lottie, Miss Josephine,
Mrs. Della Person, of Illinois; Mrs.
Nellie Sunderland. All were present
at their mothers death. The SYM
pathy of a wide circle of friends will
be extended to them in this time of
sorrow.
The funeral services will he held to-
morrow afternoon at the home on East
Fifth street at o'clock, Rev. w. H.
officiating.

County High School Notes.

CHAPMAN, Kas., Nov. l0-[Special
correspondence The high school is
holding up excellently in attendance.
Those who predicted ali sorts of dire
misfortunes will be surprised to learn
that the enrolment has steadily in
creased since the first day.
The literary societies are taking up
practical subjects and are learning
much that is useful. Electricity is to
be discussed Monday night.
The photography class will begin elo-
cution this week. All outsiders wish
ing to retain their peace of mind will
please remain at distance while the
class is ''practicing." After the
speechifying is perfected then come and
see us.
Miss Schmitz is making a success of
the music, so much so that several of
the young blOOds of town manifest a
strong desire to study voice culture.
The congressional meetings are
awakening considerable interest, the
only trouble being that the proceedings
are almost too complicated for many of
the students.
We regret that Dick Sparks has been
compelled to leave school on account
of failing health.
There is tendency on the part of
the literary societies to indulge in the
old-fashioned debates" la country
debating societies, with such subjects as
Resolved, that war causes more
misery than intemperance." Studio
suggests that this be omitted and the
scientific studies pursued. There is
little or no good to result from such
aimless wranglings and we believe that
the pupils can use their efforts more
advantageously.
Why would not small monthly pa
per edited by the pupils be self-sustain-
ing? Considering that it would have a
countrywide circulation its advertising
would pay and it would be valuable
aid to the school. Studio would like to
see it tried.
The course Of lectures is being locke
forward to with interest. We hope
they may soon begin. STUDIO.

In memoriam.

To THE EDITOR OF THE REFLEC
TOR: l was somewhat disappointed OF
opening my REFLECTOR today, to find
nothing concerning the death of my ole
friend, J. NJ. Preshaw. When l read
the announcement of his death, last
week, thought certainly some good
friend would write of the work he did
in Dickinson county.
In the long, desperate fight for prohi-
bition and the enforcement of the law,
many worked faithfully and well but all
will endorse-and none will feel a tinge
of jealousy-when write that no one
was as faithful, as determined, as IN
selfish as Father Preshaw. When 9TH
ers faltered and were ready 10 aban
don the fight, by his absolute and
never-waveriDg faith in God and the
right, he compelled them to go forward.
While he fought with the tenacity of
bulldog, and never let up, yet there
never was drop of bitterness or per-
sOnal malice in his work or heart; and
never time when he would not have
gladly arisen in the middle of the night
to do his bitterest antagonist favor.
With most, poor health is an ample
plea for the neglect of disagreeable
duty, but as he became more and more
feble, his devotion to duty increased,
and the unselfshness of his purpose
became more apparent, and in all
those years what a pattern OF self-fOr-
getfulness was he. When the battle
was going all right, when it was popular
to be brave and valiant, then he was
not conspicuous, but when the fight
was tough, when the conflict was in
doubt or defeat imminent, then he was
at the front taking the brOnt Of the bat
tie, and when overwhelming defeat
came he never for a moment lost his
courage.
1t would not be just to him to neg
lect to give him uredit also for cool
judgment and wise leadership, for rare
ly did he fail Id this respect,
While only those closely associated
with him knew the true grandeur of
his character, the real worth of this I'M
assuming old man, yet to great ex-
tent he won the respect of ali-even of
his enemies. | remember one after
neon standing on one Of the principal
corners of Solomon with a large crowd
of "Philistines'' v hen lie passed on the
opposite side of the street. Some al
fusion was made 10 the "Old barDacle"
when One-a leading business man of
solomon, took up his defense, and it
was plainly to be seen that his unflinch-
ing courage, his Urselfish devotionCtO
his convictions Of right had won for
him the respect Of those lie had the
most persistently battled with.
While l write this and think of his
death as personal loss, yet it is with
joy and not with sadness, for l know
he has entered into all Inheritance rich
beyond the Imagination of man to con-
ceive of. J. w. HART.
