GUTHRIE, Ok, January 2S.-The passage
of the Perkins bill has caused a great deal
of uneasiLess among tie innocent pur-
cliasers of lots, SUIT they are willing to wait
until tie necessary laws of congress are
passed. The disorderly Clement, on the
other hand, are only too willing to grasp
anything that comes along, even if it takes
mob violence to get it; and 50 there is much
lot jumping going on.

What Caused the ExDlosioD-

COLUMBUS, D., January 2S.-The natural
gas explosion Is still source of great ex-
element among the citizens. The fatali-
ties. however, have not increased, and three
killed is tie sum total of deaths. The most
seriously injured all seem improving. The
list of those who were slightly wounded and
bruised increases, and the startling feature
is that more were not killed.
The Natural Gas company is doing all it
can for the injured. and Is making an effort
to place all the living in comfort able cir
cumstances.
The company made an investigation as to
the cause of the explosion. There are about
. xty-five pipes of the line near where the
explosion occurred. A test was made east
and west on the line and where the final
connection of the circuit was made there
was one JOINT of the pipe left without being
run with lead. Tie frozen surface and
the loose gravel beneath allowed the gas to
permeate tie ground with as much ease as
it could run through the loose earth of the
trench.
The cellars in the vicinity were thus filed
with gas and only waited for the match or
candle. The company states that the fault
is with the inspector and men who made
the final connection. Becht. Barber and
Mrs. Marriott are the only dead.

CHICAGO, January 28.-The Atchison is
contemplating a sensational move in put

lance between San francisco a-d Chicago
was made in GO hours and % m nutes, an
average, including stops, of th!rty-eight
miles an hour, but the Southern Pacific to
Mojave only averaged twenty-eight miles
being very nea1ly forty three miles an hour,
including stops. Atchison officials were in

LincOln's Whiskers.

President Lincoln's kind heart al
ways responded to childs advances.
He INDUCED his own children, saying,
1T is my pleasure that my children are
free and happy, and unrestrained by
parental tyranny. Love is the chain
whereby to bind a child to its parents. :"
Before his election in 1860 little girl
of IL years, seeing his Autograph por-
trait, thought his appearance would be
improved should he wear whiskers.
She uttered her childish thought in a
letter to Mr.. Lincoln, and in few days
received friendly answer, in which he
asked:
AS to the whiskers, as have never
worn any, do you not think that people
would call it piece of silly affectation
were to begin wearing them now?'
During his journey to Washington,
after his election to the Presidency, the
train stopped at Westfield, Chautauqua
County, ct which place the little girl
resided.
Il have q correspondent in this
place, said Mr.. Lincoln, "a little girl
whose name is Grace Bedell, and I
would like to see her."
She was brought to the station. He
stepped from the cars, extended his
hand, and said, You see have let
those whiskers grow for you, dear
Grace" Then kissing her, he babe
her good-by.
When he stood up at the Capitol to
deliver his inaugural address, friends
were surprised to see that the President
was raising crop of whiskers. Ve1ed
at his spelling face which expressed
power and pathos by wearing a coarse,
stiff, ungraceful beard of the backing
brush variety, they made inquiries, and
learned that he had ceased to shave to
crafty q very young lady.

should die" and he stood on the margin
of his own grave and they beheaded
him. You say it is mania, afooihardi-
ness, a fanaticism. Rather would 1 call
it glorious self abnegation, the thrill
of eternal satisfaction, the plucking of
Joash from death, and raising him to
coronation.
The third thought hand to you from
my text is that the Church of God is a
good hiding place. When Jehosheba
rushes into the nursery of the king and
picks up Joash, what shall she do with
him? Shall she take him to some room
in the palace? No; for the official des-
peradoes will hunt through every nook
and corner of that building. Shall she
take him to the residence of some
wealthy citizen? No; that citizen would
not dare to harbor the fugitive. But
she has to take him somewhere. She
hears the cry of the mob in the streets;
she hears the shrek of the dying nobil-
ity; so she rushes with Joash into the
room of the temple, into the house of
God, and then she puts him down. She
knows that Athaliah and her wicked
assassins will not bother the temple q
great deal; they are not apt to 60 very
much to church, and SO she sets down
Joash in the Temple. There he will be
hearing the songs of the worshipers
year after year; there he will breath the
odor OF the golden censers; in that sa-
cred spot he will tarry, secreted until
the six years have passed, and he come
to enforcement.
Would God that We were all as wise
rs Jehosheba, and knew that the Church
of God is the best hiding place. Perhaps
our parents took us there in early days;
they snatched MS away from the world
and hid us behind the baptismal fonts,
and amid the Bibles and the psalm
books. o, glorious Enclosure! We have
been breathing the breath of the gol-
den censers all the time, and We have
seen the lamb on the altar and We have
handled thephials which are the prayers
of all saints, and We have dweJt un-
der the wings of the cherubim. Glori-
Gus Enclosure! When my father and
mother died. and the property was
