LOCAL HAPPENINGS.


DR.. S. A. Bright, Of the Methodist church,
has stirred up considerable comment among
the members of that church by his decid-
edly pointed preaching. Each sermon is a
little bit stronger than those preceding it,
and some of the members appear to think
that they have been singled out as targets.
Yesterday Dr. Bright devoted some Of his
time to the discussion of Christians who
were developed in spots, and consequently
led lives inconsistent with their professions
of piety. During a recent three cornered
discussion of the low degree of spirituality
among the churches on the Pacific coast,
between Rev. t. B. Ford, Rev. N. S. Buck
ner and DR.. Bright, the conclusion was
reached that much of the Christian leth-
argy in this country was due to the dead
timber on the church records, and. the
large per centage of members who de-
manded all the benefits of church mem
bership without showing disposition to
contribute either time or money for the
purpose of carrying forward the work.
DR.. Bright is evidently striking at some
thing of that kind.

The X. Z. Grand Ball.

The members of the Knights of Pyth-
las gave grand ball in this city last
Thursday night, at the opera house.
Though there were many obstacles to
success, yet every one was overcome,
and the ball was the most largely at
tended, and was in all respects the
most successful ball ever given in the
city. The funeral in the afternoon,
and the threatening weather during
the evening doubtless kept many from
attending.
The large hall was nicely decorated
for the occasion, the walls being hung
with the choicest pictures our city af-
fords. Emblems of the order were sp-
propriately displayed, and the big ugly
stage was transformed in bower, from
whence issued the delightful music
of the 0. f. orchestra. Under the gal
lery the floor was covered with finest
rugs and furs, while the whole city had
been put under contribution to furnish
the finest sofas, chairs, tables, lamps
and decorations.
At $50 the orchestra favored the
assembling crowd with several choice
selections of classic music, and at ten
O'Clock the grand march" was called.

Funeral Of James N. Deal.

James n. Deal, whose death we men
toned last week, was buried last Thurs
day afternoon. The services were con-
Quoted at the Presbyterian church, by
Rev. j. NJ. Archer, under the direction
of the Odd Fellows, and participated in
by the a. o. U. W. and the G. A. R.,
of which three orders MIR. Deal was
member.
At two O'Clock the procession was
formed on Main street, and with muf-
fled drum marched to the family resi-
dence. The body was placed in the
hearse, and the procession slowly
marched to the Presbyterian church,
where hundreds of friends of the faml-
ly had already assembled. Before the
exercises began the church was crowd
ed, and many persons went away be-
cause they could not find seats, while
many others stood in the doorway and
In THE allies. The pulpit was draped
with evergreens and flowers, emblems
OF the three lodges being displayed on
the wall. The music was rendered by
Mrs. Rouse, Mrs. O'Brian, Jas. Nc
Neal and Jos. Jayne. 1t was well rem
dered and very impressive. Mr.. Arch
er took as his text passage from job:
IF a man die shall he live again?" The
sermon was eloquent, instructive, pa
thetic, lesson to the living. a tribute
to the dead.
At the cemetery the services Of the
societies were held, after which the
body was consigned to its last resting
place, and the large crowd dispersed,
each one feeling that friend had been
buried, for the deceased was the friend
OF everybody. He was we'll known, and
highly respected by all. He leaves a
wife, two sons and one daughter. His
life was insured for $1,000 in the United
Workmen.
At the last meeting of the A. o. U.
W. the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Supreme Mas
ter Workman that brother James N Deal
should be removed from the temporal lodge
below to the spiritual lodge above.

men, that while we deplore his death we feel
that our loss is his gain. That the community

memory.

The Sumner County Farmers Mutual
Insurance Company was organized in
May, 1889, and for nearly three years
ran along smoothly without any assess
ment. Many stories were set afloat by
emissaries of other companies to the
effect that our company could not with
stand any great loss. "What if tor
nado should pass through locality in
sured bv our company? 1t would bust
1t sure" are expressions that frequent
~ come to our ears. Well, the tornado
dld come, and a more destructive one
was seldom, it ever, heard of. Nine
farmers insured in our company were
IN It's awful track, and their losses. as
adjusted, amounted TO S3,O8I.25. The
Oldest mutual in the state that has been
running Tor over twelve years, and car
rleS Sl,II0,OOO insurance, never had as
large a loss as this one in any one wear.
IL was an unprecedented loss. vet the
patrons OF the company responded So
quickly that in thirty days from tht.
time the assessment was made every
one of the nine losses was paid. What
is the effect? During the month of
April the amount of insurance written
was greater than for the three months
previous. Heretofore we have to de-
pend upon few farmers for our agents
They would only work a day now and
then as time would permit. Now we
have secured the services of two eff

Fl Fish and w. ID. McKinstry, who will
devote their entire time to canvassinp
for our company. To the members of
our company who so promptly respond

Signs of the Times.

Mrs. Lease says Oregon and Wash.
lngton are turning as fast as they
know how. The peoples party polled
one-fourth of the votes on the spring
election and the movement there has
just begun. A peoples party club has
been organized in connection with
nearly every silver league in Colorado.
Mills OF Texas has been succeeded by
peoples party man. Mr.. Tracy, of
Texas, who has hitherto claimed the
alliance ought to seek its demands
through the democratic party says the
excitement there now is greater than
during the war, and no power on earth
can stop the peoples party in Texas.
In Michigan, with almost no canvass.
the peoples party carried many of the
smaller towns. If they do this in the
towns, what will they do in the coun-
try. In Kansas the big Seventh held
the largest congressional convention
the state has ever seen. Kansas has
just held the largest state convention
and nominated the most independent
yet the most commendable ticket the
state has ever seen. New York papers
acknowledge our growing power. The
best brains of democracy is stumping
Watson's district to beat him. They
are preparing to make the big Seventh
the battle ground of the nation. Indi-
ana's peoples party convention was
larger than the celebrated Kansas con-
vention of 80. Missouri, Texas, North
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee CEN
trail committeeman are turning to the
peoples party. The grand principles
OF truth, humanity and justice have
enrolled themselves under our banner.
We are fighting for the people, and by
the people, battle of the people and
yet, there are some so stupid as to tell
us we have no show.

deiving, as recreation, in political
economy. His contributions to the

vor by the New York Post. One quo
tation will serve to show the happy fe-
licity possessed by brother Crutcher in
explaining the difficult monetary prob
lem, Among other pointed sayings, he
demolishes the per capita" humbug in
this way: 1T is not a question of per
capita, but matter OF per pockita.

A Question That Must Re Faced.

A Pittsburg clergyman in his sermon
last Sunday said:
Those who read the signs of the times
must see that not by supply and de-
mand, not by constituencies competi-
ton shall wages be adjusted, but by JUS
tice. 1t may seem to some that this is
sentiment, but think they will find 1t
an issue intensely real and practical be-
fore many years.
A few years ago such words from the
pulpit would have stamped the minis
ter as man who was dangerous to So
cieSy. But times are changed, and er-
rors OF political economy are going
away. While labor may be considered
a commodity, its purchase and sale can
not be regulated by the same rules
which govern the vegetable market
This fact is being brought out more
clearly each year.-Trades journal.
