First Picture of Christ.

The first pictures Of Jesus Christ
were created from historical and
legendary descriptions of the
Savior. 'The parallels were the
chief source from which the first
artists drew their Symbols" says
an authority. These symbolical.
pictures, however, did not satisfy
the religious craving for a portrait,
and the age of Constantine marks
the transition from the symbolical
to the pseudo historical picture.
There is mention of portrait of
Jesus possessed by King Abgarus
of Edessa, and imprinted on
handkerchief, and of another mi
raculously obtained by st. Ver-
onica at the cruci6xion, but the
authority quoted above declares
that there is little foundation for
these legends. The most ancient
portrait of Christ was that possess
ed by the emperor, Alexander
Severus. In the Vatican there is
another picture of Christ, dating
from the third century, worked in
antique mosaic, and attributed to q
pagan artist. Raphsel's "Christ
in the Sepulchre" is generally
considered the most beautiful pict.
ure of Christ extant.

As WILL be seen from the follow

tract with the city, the Water

all along the line. Water can be
shut off for thirty days without

an indefinite time on account of
"some unavoidable necessity or ac-
cident:"
Sec. 10. "If at any time the
supply of water is shut off from

VEST Is THEIR CHOICE.
The Democratic Caucus Selects
Him for Senator.

JEFFERSON CIrY, Mo-, Jan. g.
The snow was falling in fine drifts
and blowing in every direction
when the senators and members to-
night toiled up the Capitol hill.
The hall of the House was crowded
when the gaveI fell upon the joint
Democratic caucus held for the pur-
pose of selecting a senator to sue
ceed George G. Vest. Mr.. Ferris,
of Ray, convened the caucus at 8
O'Clock. On motion of Mr.. Lee, of
Carter, Senator Green Clay was
elected chairman and DR.. w.
Graham was named as secretary.
Senator Jasper N. Burks took
the clerks desk and made the
speech nominating Vest. 1t was
very brief-shorter, perhaps, than
any of the speeches made last night
for legislative offices-but it was
strong, vigorous effort, surprising
in its effectiveness and fire even
by the friends of the Senator. Mr..
Burks compared the sentiment of
the people twelve and six years ago
over the selection of Senator Vest
with the present unanimous senti-
ment in favor of the Little Giant
and drew from it the lesson of Mr..
Vests constantly growing populari-
ty with the people. Senator Vest
is now at Washington, he said, bat
tling for the constitutional rights
of the people. There he has
always stood and there he will
always BIZ found. Senator Burks
in a few sentences paid a glowing
eulogy to the character of Vest and
closed amidst round of applause.
Mr.. Donnell made an eloquent
speech seconding the nomination.
He began with Vests early public
life and threw upon it the lumin-
GUS light of history for the past 25
years. He was especially strong in
his Endorsement of the Senator's
course in opposition to the growing
trusts and syndicates of the coun-
try, and speaking as representa-
tive reformer, hailed him as the
bravest friend the agricultural and
laborlng classes had in public life.
Mr.. Kurtz, of Boone, Mr.. Fergu
son, of Lafayette, and others
delivered seconding speeches of a
very brief character and then the
roll was called. The result was
unanimous.
At Senator Richardson's sugges'
ton the caucus arose and gave
three cheers and a tiger for the

TWO GOOD WAYS.
Practical Ideas as to How the
Sunday School and Church
May be Brought Closer
Together.

The relation of the Sabbath
School to the church was pretty
thoroughly discussed at the Sab
bath School Convention lately held
in this city and yet it may not be
amiss to add few practical words
to those of the speakers on that
occasion as to how the Sabbath
School and the church can be
brought into closer contact. and
communion. There are two sue.
cessful ways of doing this. The
one is to assemble the school be-
fore church services and the other
after them. When the school
meets before preaching a large
well ventilated and well warmed
room apart from but near the audi
ence room of the church, should
be provided for it, where the
children should he detained until
church service begins, and from
whence they should be marched
into the church audience room,
where the children whose parents
attend church should be permitted
to join them and where contigu-
Gus seats should be reserved for
those whose parents are not present
and their teachers. The other sue
cessful method is to hold the
school and its parentage for in
struction after chulch services are
over. Both of these ways of pro-
viding for and conducting Sabbath
School are capable of being made
eminently successful and are the
only ones by which the evil of
sending children to their homes
after Sabbath School, at a time
when their parents are~at church
and they, in consequence ,at liberty
to make watever use they please OF
sacred time, can be avoided.

Mexico's Hospitality.

From Coilnan' kurat world.
The Breeders meeting at Mex
leo last week was an enthusiastic
one. Even the night before the
meeting the double parlors of the
Ringo House were filed, and an
inpromptu meeting was held,
which proved as interesting and
useful as any. and the meeting did
not close until a late hour. The
next morning the Opera House
was thrown open to the Associa-
ton, and the first session was held.
AT 2 p. N. the afternoon session
opened and did not take recess
until about 6 o'clcc ATT p. m.
the members again assembled and
continued in session until II p. M.
when the members adjourned to
the Banquet Hall of the Ringo,
where splendid repast had been
furnished the visiting members by
the good citizens of Mexico, as a
testimony of their good will and
hospitality. The Mexico people
could not do more for the members
of the Association to testify their
interest in the objects of the AS
sociation, and in furnishing the
Opera House and a banquet, had
to go down deeper in their pockets
than was really necessary. The
, weather was favorable, the attend
ance large, the best feeling pre-
vailed and everything was lovely

From Farm, Field and Stockman

From Farm, F1eia ana Stockman-
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., of
the Thirty-th1rd street Baptist
Church, uttered the following elo.
quent tribute to the Farmers move
ment:
The Farmers'Alliance ofAmerica
holds in it's hands not only the
possibilities of a higher life for this
generation-it holds the hopes OF
unnumbered generations yet un-
born. Their organization is su-
perb. 1t is the strongest social
and political machine built in
America in the last twenty years.
They are determined to lift up the
toiling hosts and make their life
worth the living. They are teach.
ing and will teach more emphatical-
ly than ever, that it is just as hon.
orable to hew wood and draw
water, and piow mule, as to
make laws, practice medicine, run
bank or a railroad. They have
doubtless many crude ideas as yet
about law and finance. But whose
fault is it that they are ignorant?
They will learn as they go along.
Absurd demands will take reasona-
ble shape in the red hot forge of
public debate and education.
Dsmagogues will mislead for a
time; but they will kill two dema-
gogues where they nourish one.
Their only danger lies in the pos
sibility of selfish intrigues in poll
tics, in which their lofty principles
will be forgotten in a mad strug-
gle for Immediate power. Holding
fast to their principles, they will
sweep this nation ultimately in tri-
umph. They represent the grand
est moral issues of the age. Stand
ing firmly ON those issues, they are
as sure to win as that God is, and
that good shall ultimately triumph
over evil.
Let the demagogues, deadbeats
and bunners, who are trying ever
to learn which way the wind blows
that they may trim their sails to
meet 1t, take warning! The cy-
clone has only begun. They had
better seek shelter.

A Cheerless and Dismal Spot

From the Jefferson Ctty Tribune.
No spot could we'll be more
cheerless and dismal than the PEN
itentiary graveyard. It consists of
about three acres of ground and is
a few hundred yards from the
southeastern limits of the city.
During Governor Marmaduke's ad
ministration a pine board fence
was placed around the lot, but
prior to this time it was open. The
ground consists of two hills and a
deep hollow, and the shrubbery
is wild briar brush. The
place has been used as place for
dead convicts for over fifty years.
Recent graves are marked with
pine headboards, on which are
painted the name of the dead con-
vict and the date of his demise.
II all, there are probably 500
graves, but nearly all of the older
ones are unmarked, and many of
them have evidently been opened
and the bodies removed. Only
one grave of recent date, however,
shows signs of having been dis,
turbed. No one ever visits the
prison graveyard unless compelled
to. It is the last resting place OF
| feIons whom no one would claim.
| Dead convicts are always sent
home for burial If any one will
claim the body, but those who

Mexico Must Have Mile Track.

From Lolman s Rural world
1t is hoped that several of the
Fair Associations that make bids
for the Breeders meeting, will be
able to announce they will have a
mile track for the races to be trot-
ted over. 1t makes but little diff
ference whether it is the oval or
kite-shaped track, so it is in the
best of condition when the races
are trotted. Some of the breeders
want to make fast recores and
want a good track, and prefer a
mile track, but if they can't get a
mile track this year they will hope
to get it next year. A mile track
ls faster by some seconds than a
half mile track.
