RYAN READY FOR FIGHT.
He Will Bring Up the First Ward
Park at Today's Meeting.

At the meeting of the park board to-
day the First ward park matter Will
come up for another hearing. Commits
sloner Patrick Ryan has a few resolu-
tons slowed away in the desk of the
secretary that will cause the board to do
something. 1t may throw the First
ward park enterprise overheard, but it
must do something.
1t will be remembered that the board,
some time ago, postponed action on the
First ward matter until next spring.
That particular piece of business had
been so delayed by the many fights that
arose over it, and by the inability of the
board to arrive at any cOnclu-
sion as to the sentiment of
the people of the ward, that the
time came when it was too late to pro-
vide for it in the tax levy and have the
work on it done this coming year. if at
all. Commissioner Ryan has been a
friend of the First ward park scheme
ever since it was preached. He has
written out, ready for presentation to
the board today, series of resolutions
covering the matter. The first resolu-
ton orders the city engineer to estab-
lish the grade of the streets surround
ing the park; the secOud directs the en-
gineer of the park board to make all
necessary surveys and establish the
grade of the proposed park and estimate
the cost of the filling required to make
the block suitable for park purposes;
the third authorizes the landscape
gardener to draw plans and estimates
for the parking of the land in question.
Commissioner Ryan is of the opinion
that the park board is bound by the i'm
piled agreement in existence between
it and the owners of the lana to take
that land now. anyhow. He says that
the board has done all that is necessary
on that head. He thinks that the board
has contracted for the land and must
purchase it. His idea in introducing
these resolutions today is to he the first
in the field. Convinced that the park
board must take the land sometime, he
is determined that all the details must
be settled Immediately before the avail
able funds of the board have been ex-
pended for other work.
Commissioner Ryan will also bring up
the StinSon boulevard matter today.
That is another of his pet projects. He
has been talked into letting some of
the East side be LAID aside for
, while on the representation that
there were other improvements
more needed. Since the settlement of
the King gift matter. however, he has
determined to work for his side of the
| river. He is convinced that the other
| fellows are working for their particular
sections, and he will do the same here
after. He was willing to let the money
| set aside for the East side parks go to
pay for the King tract if the board
would buy the property outright and
leave no chance for flaws to appear in
the title. His proposition was not ac-
cepted. Now he is going to get to the
front early in the battle and fight all the
J time. Today he will introduce reSo-
luton ordering the boards engineer to
establish the grade of Stinson boulevard
from Fifteenth avenue southeast to
Twenty-fifth avenue northeast, with a
view to the immediate improvement of
the same.

SIZED UP BY SIMPSON.
The "Sockless" Statesman's High
Opinion of Plumb.

Kansas, to a Post reporter tonight.
land it will be a difficult matter to
find a man to take his place."
Speaking of Mr.. Plumb's probable sue
cessor, Mr.. Simpson said that there
would undoubtedly be Republican APP
pointed by the governor, who would
serve during the entire congress. The
result will be, said Mr.. Simpson, that
the new senator will represent Gov.
Humphrey and not the people" Mr..
Simpson does not consider it likely
that Mr.. Mills will receive the
appointment. In reply to ques-
tions by Post reporter, Senator
PETER said that he had no means of
knowing who would be his new col
league in the senate, but he could tell of
a number of gentlemen who would be
mentioned for the vacancy. Among
them were George r. Peck, George L.
Anthony, EX-GOv. Crawford, Mr.,Burton
and others. All of them were, he said,
very popular men, and any one of them
would make good senator. Mr.. PETER
did not think that Mr.. Mills will not
seek the appointment.

FARMERS UNDER FIRE.
Queer Sort of Battle in a Penn
sYIvania Township.

syIvania Township.
WASHINGTON, Pa. Dec, 2O.-An all
night battle occurred Wednesday night
between Hugh Curry, wealthy farmer
of Ainwell township, and a number of
men in ambush. Three hundred
shots were fired, but, fortunately,
10 one was wounded. Curry's
house was rIddled with bullets, and his
terror-stricken family spent the night
in the cellar. Towards morning there
was a lull in the battle. and Curry
alarmed the village by ringing the bell
in the tower. Several friends came
to his assistance and remained
with him until daylight. 1t has
since been learned that Curry's
assailants were watchmen, who were
guarding the property of Marion Curry,
whose property adjoins that of his
brother High. 1t seems that Marion
Curry has suffered from incendiary fires
in which he has lost thousands of dol
lars. The first fire was on Nav II,
and since then he has lost twenty
nine hay stacks, barn and stable.
The frequent fires have almost craZed
Curry and he has been fearful of his
life. Recently he placed guards about
his farm to protect it. The guardscl claim
that Hugh Curry fired the first shot, and

THE woRLDGRoWINGB BETTER
So Argues Rev. S. w. Sample Be-
fore the PeOnIe's Meerinp.

AOFe Cnc IeOple Meeting.
The peoples meeting last evening at
Century hall was addressed by Rev. S.
w. Sample on the question, is the
World Growing Better or Worse?" the
speaker taking the position from the
outset that the world is growing better
rather than worse. He referred TO the
driving of the golden spike to mark the
spot where the two ends of the North
ern Pacific railroad were connected
and the road completed, and,
using this as smile, pro-
ceeded to show how the progress of
the world toward Christianity and NOR
atty was marked 10y golden spikes.
The first of these golden spikes of which
| he spoke was the alphabet, the first step
toward written language. Buddhism
represented another golden spike, be-
cause it was the first missionary religion,
the first to say 1.-The whole world is my
parish, and all its people, my BROTH
erS." Judaism had many beauties, but
Buddhism was the first missionary re-
| ligiOn.
His next golden spike was federation

tin Luther. Luther's teachings. he
argued, were crude. bnt they had ac-
complished much good.

A SENATOR SLEEPS.

he having been the nominee of the
party caucus when Senator PETER was
elected. In fact, no other name has re-
ceived any mention at all.
The fact that the term of the APP
pointee expires when the next legislat-
ure cOnvenes will make the next cleo
ton in Kansas particularly interesting,
for the legislature elected then will
have the naming of a senator. The
Farmers Alliance, while having suf-
Tered defeat at the last election, is in no
wise discouraged, and it has maintained
Its organization and appears as vigorous
as ever. The farmers will now doubt
less redouble their energy in the at

M'CAsLIN AND KELLEY.
Sermon at Bethlehem Church on
Cure of Drunkenness.

Cure of Drunkenness.
Quite large number of people went
to Bethlehem Presbyterian church last
night to hear Rev. ID. S. McCasin say
something interesting about the BIZ
chloride of gold cure of DR.. Kelley.
They were disappointed. The pas
tor did preach a long Fan scien-
tific sermon about drunkenness and
the effect of alcohol upon the system,
but he said little about DR.. Kelley.
His first mention of the Dwight sanitar
ium was in connection with a definl-
ton of drunkenness. Kelley, he said,
had made no attempt to define what it
is. He simply works upon the basis
that it is a poison, and then uses
another poison to cOunteract its effects.
The preacher then went into a de-
nunciation of the use of alcohol.
He quoted extensively from medical
men and from scientists to show that
there Is absolutely no benefit to be de-
rived from the use of alcohol in any
form. All pOisOns act in one of three
ways. Alcohol acts in two ways-as a
narcotic and as an irritant. Then fol-
lowed recital of the evils that follow
the use of alcohol. Heshad figures to
show that 331s per cent If all deaths in
the United States in year are due to

Allowing two yards of earth for each
body, enough drunkardS die every year,
as result of their excuses. to fill a
thirty-acre graveyard. In closing, ne
said, that If DR.. Kelley can cure per
cent Of all the cases that come to him,
he deserves to be blessed; but that the
only real cure is total abstinence and

Rev. w. j. Lhamon Says We Are
Returning to 1t.

Returning to 1t.
At the Church of Christ yesterday
Rev. w. j. Lhamon preached on Some
Signs of a Return to Normal Christian
lty." He said:
Norman Christianity has Christ for
Its creed, his life for Its law, his death
and resurrection for its atOnement and
hope. and his brotherhood for the gem
iuS of its government. Under the theo-
cracv of God normal Christianity is a
democracy. 1t is educational; it is a
heavenly training school OH earth: it is
Christ's college: it is Gods university,
and it is, or should be one, as the state
schools are one. The signs of return
to such a state are many.
"First-The supremacy of the Bible.
1t is now exalted above all creed form
ulas even in the creed-built churches.
1t is studied more than all the state
mentS of men. The study of this one
book by all Christians tends to draw
them all together and make them
brethren.
"SecOnd-The supremacy of the Bible
naturally leads to the supremacy of
Christ. Wesley and Knox and CALVIN
and Luther and Augustine are only his
servants, following him. too often like
ourselves, afar off. lie is Lord of all.
Sectarianism mocks him by saying
Lord, Lord and doing as it pleases.
Again: Christoogy is taking the
place of theology: practical, of theo-
Tetical Christianity; mercy, of meta.
physics; traternal love, of fractrlcidal
hate.
Again: We are dreaming of the SUI
premacy of united church, and are
tending toward it. 1t is easier now to
unite and harder to divide than for
merly. Some one has wisely suggested
that the way forward TO the Millennium
is back to the Pentecost. Christian faith
