DISTRICT CAMP MEETING.

Workmen were busy all day yesterday
on Riverside park in putting up the large
tabernacle, tents, and putting the grounds
in order. A large number of tents are up
and many of them already have occupants.
A stand has been erected on the grounds,
where provender is supplied to the camp
ers. The ministers who have arrived from
different parts overthe district, had their
sleeves rolled up and helped in getting up
the tabernacle yesterday There will be
no services on the grounds this forenoon as
there is yet a great deal of work to do in
getting the grounds in good order.
A fair sized assemblage was gathered
under the tent last evening where the
first services were conducted. The song
service was led by Rev. Watson, whose
qualities as singer are well known and
will assist in the meetings daily. Presid-
ing Elder Botkin conducted the services
last night and gave short talk upon the
objects and purposes of the camp-meeting.
He wanted it understood that this was to
be no picnic or outing for pleasure, but
for salvation.
Rev Brink, of Augusta, also spoke some
minutes. The meeting will, no doubt,
prove interesting and enthusiastic within
very short time and everybody is invited
to come and participate in a regular old
fashioned Methodist camp-meeting. There
Will he services this afternoon and evening.
Evangelist Smith will be here in day
or two and great good is expected to come
from this district camp-meeting.

AT THE TABERNACLE,

At an early hour last evening every seat
in the large and spacious structure was
filed. while many were compelled to stand
during the entire evening. Rev. Updike
chose for the subject of his discourse,
The Second Coming Of Christ"
The Evangelist said he believed this
subject was of more frequent recurrence
than any other in all the Bible, and he
would forewarn his hearers that the fact
that any subject or theme was in the
Bible, was now, and ever would be sufIi-
Gent reason to him for discussing it and
impressing it upon the minds OF his
hearers. All of Mr.. Updike's sermons
have been deeply impressive but on this
occasion he often reached the plain OF
most sublime eloquence, which seemed to
startle and greatly move hundreds of his
audience. NOone who intelligently listens
can doubt for moment his unswerv-
ing faith in the word of God
and its entire fulfillment in time and in
eternity. No wonder that tens of thous-
ands are converted when sucha man warns
them that Christ is coming ito judge the
world in Righteousness"
A number were received into the church
and Others made confession of their faith.
These, with others who obeyed the Gospel
at the South Lawrence avenue meeting at
p. m, gave very great encouragement to
prayerful laborers.
The women's missionary meeting at the
tabernacle at 2:30, followed by the work
ers' meeting, and preaching at 3:80 p. N.
Subject at the evening services, ''The Three
Religious" Every one desiring to hear
this great evangelist should attend this
week.

What Became of the Globes9

When Frederick Gerstaecker accompa-
MED the Duke of Cobury to eastern Africa
the incognito of his sovereign was dropped
at Cairo, where a German banker treated
them to a dinner, followed by an exhibit
ton of local talent in Arabian legerde-
main. The principal exponent OF the &C
complishment, after a series of preliminary
exhibitions in the magical art, invited his
audience to an open terrace, and in the
plain light OF the evening sun flung up 4
number of transparent balls. These shin
ing globes disappeared at an apparent
height of about eighty feet above the es-
planade. The globes were colorless and
pellucid like white glass, but were as light
as gum, and were repeatedly submitted for
the examination of the spectators.
After passing from hand TO hand they
were put into an open vessel shaped like a
short handled dipper, and leaning back
till his outstretched arm nearly touched
the ground the wizard then flung them
straight up into the air, where they could
be seen for moment Ike glittering globes
against the blue sky. But no one ever saw
them come down again, though the scene
of the exhibition was surrounded by a
large, level lawn; the air seemed 10 have
swallowed them like globes of dissolving
vapor. 4 sleight of hand trick was clearly
out of the question, but more tenable ex-

well as an optician.-Ss. Louis Republic

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

With the top of the rails level with the
surface of a made and unpaved street and
the ties buried ont of sight, it is almost
impossible to keep up street railway line
in time of such unusual wetness as has
been experienced this spring. Wherever
there is the least give, which almost in
variably occurs at the joints where the
wheels are made to hammer, the water
settles in and as the mud becomes lob
lOlly the track sinks down until the cars
in passing over make an uncomfortable
jump. On the Topeka avenue and stock
yards line the Electric company this spring
put on a force OF hands and by tamping in
cnders and completely underlying por
tons with the same material, the whole
line was got into splendid shape. But the
late rains unsettled it 10 such an extent
that passengers grumbled at the joltings
Yesterday again large force of men were
put to work putting the track in shape

ders for ballasting and tampinS. On the
paved streets the tracks stand wonder
fully solid aud smooth, the heaviest rains
having no perceptible effect.

DIR. DURAND DEAD.

DR.. Amos A. Durand, commissioner Of
the poor of Sedgwick county, died at his
home on South Water street yesterday
morning at o'clock of consumption. Mr..
Durand had been sick for several months
and his death had been expected to occur
at several times previous to his demise as
his condition was critical at several in
stances but he managed to rally from each
of these when his condition would be bet
ter for time. DR.. Durand was an old
settler in the county and witnessed the
metamorphoses of Wichita from small
county village develope into a metropolis.
He loved his surroundings and the place
of his residence. The doctor was an old sol
der and was Il member of Garfield post
under whose auspices the funeral will be
conducted. He enlisted in the Fiftieth In
diana volunteers and served four years,
and was mustered out of service az assist
ant surgeon of the same company. He
was also member of the Masonic frater
nifty but WAS not affiliate.
The funeral will occur at 4 o'clock this
afternoon from his late residence, 7O5
South Water street. Friends of the family
and old comrades invited.

The Opal and the Ouyx.

The opal was looked upon as a thunder
stone, and although many women now ap-
pear to have strong superstitious preju-
dice against wearing one, IL was in bygone
days held in the highest estimation, for il
was supposed to com bine the virtues Of
several other gems. On the other hand,
the onyx-so named on account of It's re-
emblance TO the color OF the finger nails
could scarcely have been nice stone 70
wear, for, according 70 medieval supersti-
ton, il rendered one particularly suscepti-
bic to annoyance from Nightmares and de-
mons.-ChaEa bers' Journal.

\ travelling man who stopped at the
Carey last night said that the report made
that grasshoppers stopped train on the
Rock Island road few days ago was true.
He was on board OF the train and when
near a small station between Kansas City
and Topeka the train gradually stopped.
Upon examination it was found that grass
hoppers were on the track. which acted
like grease on tie wheels, which kept
going round and round. The pests are not
of the destructive variety that visited Kan
sss years ago, and are not so plentiful as
TO fly in swans, They simply gather on
the rails at night to get the warmth of the
heat in the steal and have done 10 damage

Last summer Mr.. L. G. Whittier
brought with him from Maine, on mis- re-
turn home from visit there, some seed
corn, that was planted about the middle
of April last by Mr.. Gish just south of the
city. Yesterday Mr.. Gish brought several
ears from the crop that are fully matured
and almost ripe enough to harvest. There
is no advantage, in such season as the
present one, in planting the early matur
ing corn, but we do not have such all the
time, hence as precaution against dry
season it Is wise to plant part of the crop
in some good early variety.
