L.iRhtning,s aueer Freak.

1t seems tnat the lightning which
shook things up in this locality last
week adapted itself to the photograph
ic business over east ofhere. Il is re-
lated that house was struck and a
ten year old boy severely shocked.
For few days he was black on the
back and side but the discoloration
has become lighter and has developed
into an exact representation of q tree
which was struck at the same time the
house was. The mark is twelve inch
es long and will probably be carried
by the boy through life.

Thursday night contained a haring ae-
count Of the arrest Of the principal
figure il the Onerville robbery, and
strange 10 say, Vinita was connected
with the case. At Pacific. No, a man
named James AcCOnkey was arrested
on 4 telegraphie description and on his
person we're found two cattle contracts
signed by B. L. Walker, agent for the
Frisco at this place. The engineer
and fireman we're brought on from st.
Louis and as is usually the case, iden-
titled the prisoner fully as the man
who sprung the gun upon them in the
cab. McConkey stated that he was
eattIeman from Wichita Falls, Texas,
and that he came Cp with two cars Of
cattle, via. Vinita, where he was given
the Frisco contracts by Agent Walker.
OF course his story went for naught
anu NcCOnkey spent the night heavily
ironed in the Pacific Jail. Next morn
ing, by the aid Of the telegraph, the
suspect" vigorously set about extri-
eating himself from his unenviable
position and in a short time was able
20 convince the detectives who he was
and to secure his release Vinita has
a faculty of getting a place in most
OF the southwestern sensations Of any

great evil of the saloon system. the
waste of financial resources, the power
ty, tears, woes and death following in
it's train. 1t means declaring definitely
the great moral crime of voting for IL
cense and continuing to vote with pollt-
ical parties managed in the interests OF
the liquor traffic. Such preaching
ought not to offend right minded people,
and no minister taking the proper view
of the subject can do less than this and
clear his soul. He has nothing to do
with parties as such, but only deals with
principles recognized in the gospel;
therefore, if those truths cut any of the
church and congregation, the fight is
not with the minister. but with the gos-
pei committed to him by the great Head
of the church, and this gospel message
should he declared in Gods name and In
the true spirit of the gospel like other
branches of the gospel. whether the
people receive Orreject 1t.
The time is coming when the prohibit
ton branch Of the gospel will he de-
manded by the christian church ard
congregations, and good people will
wonder how they could ever have voted
for license of the drink traffic or with
license party. If the church of God is
prospecting under its present disabilities
from the drink traffic, how much more
rapid will be its conquest over sin and
the triumphs of the Rcdeemer's king
dom among men when the liquor curse
shall be abolished, thereby turning the
thousands of millions Of financial re-
sources annually, now wasted, into their
proper channels, supplying the needs of
the people and furnishing ample means
and opportunities for spreading the Cos
pei and religious literature everywhere
and taking the world for Christ?-Lev-

Women's Responsibility.

Men tell us that we are responsible
for the home and the education Of the
children; that the morals of society are
in our keeping. Suppose, when the war
was raging, our generals had taken
some OF those tall, stalwart men and
bound their hands behind them, and put
them to the front of battle. and told
them to 90 in and win. What would
have happened? Evidently the army
would have been cut to pieces, and they
would have been entirely routed. But
that is what they do with women. They
nut us in the front of the great battle
that il waging against intemperancc,
gambling, impurity, and they take away
the only weapon which anybody could
use in a repubIic-and yet they hold us
responsible tor the morals of the COM
muity. Our first business is to free
ourselves, before we can help any cause.
Then. when we are free, we shall not 20
about getting up strawberry festivals
and oyster suppers and crazy-quilt lot
teries, but we shall vote appropriations.
At present, women are powerless with
regard to the great evils which they are
asked to overcome; and the first service
that we can render to humanity or to
God, is to get ourselves into a position
ofindependence.--Re Olympia Brown.

Prohibition and Church Work.

The relation of prohibition to church
work is not generally understood. Diff
ficulties are constantly arising. calculat-
ed to render this point still more obscure
which is source Of perplexity to some
ministers. Many people are now so
sensive touching what they call politics
in the pulpit that it is impossible to
preach the whole gospel without giving
offense to more or less Of the church and
congregation. 1t is true that ministers
should be wise in presenting the gospel
truth, and yet they should not extract
the teeth from their sermons respecting
the drink traffic, which is too often done
+. in these days.
We are generally agreed that the
drink traffic is the greatest obstruction
TO the work of God in the salvation "f
souls and in building up the church,
with which the ministers have to con-
tend, and yet how marvellous 1t is that
in many places they can hardly touch
upon this branch of the gospel without
being charged with preaching politics
But all this should not deter them from
doing their duty since the vows of God
are upon them TO preach the gospel, the
whole gospel and nothing but the Cos
pei.
Preaching the gospel Of prohibition
means to present often and forcibly the
