A Farewell Entertainment.

Musical Union hall was the scene of a
happy occasion last night. 1t was an en-
tertsinment given by Miss Laura Tips,
daughter of Mr.. and MRS. Walter Tips, to
her young friends. Miss Tips will shortly
leave to complete her education in Europe,
and the merry gathering of last evening
was sort of farewell entertainment to her
young friends. There were present about
two hundred guests, and they entered fully
into the enjoyment of the occasion. There
were such diversions as music, charades,
dancing and liberal board of refresh
ments. The young hostess is endowed by
nature with sweet, attractive face and
charming disposition, and entertained her
many guests in a most delightful manner.
They will all regret to see her leave, and
will miss her greatly from their midst.

A Good Proposition.

In an interview yesterday with Mr.. N.
V. Dittlinger the subject of the Arkansas
Pass railway came up. Mr.. Dittlinger
expressed 1t as his opinion that the pros
poets at present were. that the railroad
would not be able to comply with its por-
ton of the contract, and he now submits
the following proposition, viz: That the
subscribers to the railroad bonus offer the
amount subscribed by each to any per-
son or persons who will establish factory
of any kind in this city, which shall be
permanent and employ not less than fifty
hands. Mr.. Dittlinger subscribed $3.50
to the Arkansas Pass, and is anxious to
head the list as set forth above, and an
equal amount to any other factory with
the same conditions. 1t is generous
proposition, and is commended to the
business men of Austin.

you acted at the time while on earth.
V.
So far as the Devil il concerned outside
of heaven, l believe he is omnipresent
through his agents, and omnipotent so
far as the human family is concerned,
which is only saved from destruction
by the power of God exercised
either in person or through his
agents. Now, 1 believe the Devil
is exceedingly mischievous and O. uelly
malicious, aud through his Vaccinations
and agents can be attributed nearly al the
so-called accidents which befall the human
family. He plans a series of accidents,
which inlet injury upon the human
family, and he proceeds to carry them out,
either In person or through an agent I'M
til checked by higher power. In a meas
ure he an>control the elements, and he
gets up cyclones as he did in the days of
Job, and the strange and apparent intel
ligent freaks of these cyclones are but the
result OF his wild eccentric,
malicious nature. He plans boiler
explosions, he plans to have men and
women and children mangled and crushed
or murdered in what we called accidents.
don't believe God knows anything about
the plans of the Devil and not until he be-
gins to put them in operation can God
check them. And the angels of the Lord
are not always successful at first, and even
Michael, their chief, had great difficulty
in overcoming the devil when contending
for the body of Moses. God, in my opin-
ion, permits no accident or injury to be-
fall the human family which He can pre-
vent. 1t is sometimes necessary in
the furtherance of His cause and
to bring the people of the
world through whom He works
to sense of duty and to an acknowledge
ment of allegiance to Him that He sends
great national calamities, such as wars
and pestilence, and believe He does
send them. In these we see the directing
hand of God. In the crushing of poor
human or the manning of an innocent
babe in railroad wreck we cannot see
the hand of God. His desire is not to
injure but to bless individuals. A broken
limb or horrible death by accident can
not possibly assist His cause. The ruth
less disturbing of natural laws and the
projection of terrible cyclones can do
Him no good. They are the works of
the Devil, who, if he had the power, would
destroy everything"

ONE FAIR WOMAN i.

The matin birds antiphonal
Wakes my fond soul from dreams of thee;
The music of the waterfall
Nurmuring is mystic madrigsl
Repeats thy cherished name to me.
And, when thy presence, beauty laden,
Steals DER my sense, l seem to see
Some rainbow obed cascade in Aidenn
Hymning thy praises, lily maiden,
In undulating melody.
No whittier pearls the seas enclose
Than by those wine-red lips are pressed
Thy cheek outvies the queenly rose,
And every pure emotion shows
That's tempted In thy sinless breast.
Bright eyes where shifting rays are playing
Like star beams with some brooklet's tress;
Dusk dahlias meath their splendor swsying
And all the virgin soul portraying
With gentle, tremulous tenderness.
Thy neck is like the stem of snow
Some Nile-nursed flower lifts sloft:
Thy mouth is like the Love gods bow
And oh! thy voice is like the flow
OF pleaeant waters sweetly soft.
Not even Angeles def hand
Might chisel brow 30 Wondrous fair;
And, raptured, Raphael had scanned
Each wildering wave and strsying strand
That weaves the aureole of thy hair.
Gemmed with rare graces, past oil telling,
In memory thou art thronsd, ma belle
Yea, more-my heart with rapture's swelling
For the pure, white soul within thee dwelling
Like angels tear In diamond cell.
Fixed as the Northern star, my love
Turns tow'rd thee morning. noon and even
No change can dim, no sorrow move;
Time will its deep devotion prove,
For, loving thee is all my heaven.

They Pay $500 or Cure.

For many years the manufacturers of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who are
thoroughly responsible financially, have
offered in good faith, through nearly every
newspaper in the land, standing reward
of $500 for a case of nasal catarrh, no
matter how bad, or of how long standing,
which they cannot cure. The remedy is
sold by druggists at only so cents. 1t is
mild, soothing, cleansing, deodori zing,
antiseptic and healing.

What Does This Mean2

tsThe elections in Kansas next fall a
year," says the Wichita Eagle, ''are go
ing to be close, with no certainty as to
the complexion of the legislature. At
the last public expression of the people,
Kansas gave an unparalleled republi-
can majority, and that was less than
eight months ago. What has happened
in the interim to shake the faith of
Kansas voters in republicanism and
cause the state to appear doubtful?
We can think of nothing whatever.
Will the Eagle rise and explain.-Em-
poria Republican.
It takes muscle to rise, and it costs
brains to explain, besides we have
long since learned that the average
proposition calls for NO explanation
that Governor Eskridge may under
stand it. The Republican is not so
much in need of light as it would have
US believe, and knows that we say the
truth when we declare that the repub-
licans of Kansas are ripe for rebellion

What does the leading republican
paper of southwestern Kansas mean
when it says ''the republicans of Kan
sas are RIPE for REBELLION"

AS students, of whom 367 are gentle

resent fifty-five counties in Kansas and

the end that tho hands may become the
skilled and ready instruments of
thoughtful minds; that the student
may preserve habits of industry and

his brain power, and that he may re-
main in hearty sympathy with the work
by which our people thrive while he is
oaining a substantial education which

From Seward"


There was good deal of complaint
in the neighbOrhood during harvest. on
account of the heat.
Harvest is over and farmers are
beginning to thrash. The grain
promises big yield.
The nice showers we had Monday
night and Tuesday made the corn git.
1t promises a good crop.
Miss Belle Belcher was buried on
Sunday at Eden Valley cemetery. She
had been sick good while, with
consumption.
The celebration on the 4th passed
off pleasantly, and was quite success
in a financial way. Everyone seemed
to enjoy it. Dancing was kept up from
2:3O p. M, until nearly daylight next
morning. A band from the Bend
furnished music. There was a fine
display of fireworks in the evening.
