PRESBYTERIAN SPECIAL SERVICE

'Where will you be when Eternity
Dawus." sang Mr. Shaver at the close OF
DR.. Winters sermon last night. The sub
jeCt of the discourse was, THE Guest
without Wedding Garment" and the
picture the speaker had drawn of the care
less or presuming visitor who bad neg
lected or refused to wear the robe the king
had provided for his guest at the bridal of
the prince, apprehended, rebuked. de-
prived of liberty and cast out of the splen-
dor of the banqueting ball into the
darkness and mist OF the night
had not failed to impress the congregation,
aud when the simple words of the song
presented this solemn inquiry for their
decision, every listener seemed awed.
Three persons, by standing to profess
faith in the Lord, answered the question
publicly. Since Sunday morning between
thirty and forty have announced their in
tentinn of henceforth living Christian
lives by signing the cards that are pro-
videi.
Mr.. Shaver's choir will open the service
tonight ut the usual hour. There will be
no afternoon service.

HIS FIRST FAVORITE.
Governor-Elect Leweiling Appoints Hon Fred
J. Close For Private Secretary.

A tall, full bearded man with an empty
sleeve went up to the clerks desk at the
Occidental hotel yesterday and entered in
to negotiation with the clerk for weekly
meal ticket. The price was satisfactory,
he banded over the spondulix, carefully
placed the ticket in the cigar pocket of his
waistcoat and walked off with that air OF
Importance that always characterize n
gentleman who has a cinch on his daily
allowance of bread and butter for week
ahead The gentleman was Fred j. Close,
defeated candidate for congress in the
First district of Kansas. Now then man
from the First district is not iikely..to cone
down here and purchase .meal tickets by
the week unless he intended to ''stay
awhile" and the natural conclusion was
that he had secured an Office. A little
inquiry revealed the fact that Governor
Lewelling had made his first appoint
ment and that il was Mr. Close 10 the
Office of private secretary. Mr.. Close will
assume bis duties this morning, will re-
main in Wichita till after Christmas, at
which time he will move 20 Topeka with
Mr.. Lewelling. This is the calculation,
for.all his mail has been ordered to Wichita
till then.
Among the local Populists and Demo
Gratis the appointment is received with the
most pronounced favor, as all Of them re-
gard Mr.. Close as admirably fitted for
that place. He is, in many respects. very
much like Mr. Lewelling. and it is said
that their views on almost everything per-
tanning to the gubernatorial office har-
monte to perfection.
Mr.. Close is q one-armed soldier. He
went to Ohio when child and at IA
years of age entered the Union army
with the Fifty-fiith Ohio. He lost his
arm at Reseca, GA, in May, 1854, and
was honorably discharged. He came to
Kansas In 1866 and located in Doniphan
county, where he still lives. He gradu-
ated from the Highland university in
Doniphan county and is president of the
Alumni association OF that institution.
He is lawyer by profession. He held the
office of county clerk three times, being
elected twice on the Republican TICKET and
the last time on an independent and Demo
cratic ticket. Then he was elected county
attorney, once as the Republican nominee
and a second term as the Independent and
Democratic candidate. Four years ago he
ran for state senator as ali Independent
and Democratic candidate against Judge
Schiiliag, but was badly defeated. Since
that time he has been practicing law at
Troy. He is also something of a farmer,
owning farm in Barrier county and also
one in Boniphan county. He is secretary
of the company which publishes the ALI
ance Advocate. edited by DR.. McLallin in
Topeka. Mr. Close Was judge advocate of
the Grand Army of the Republic Of Kan
sas when Ira Collins was commander. He
belongs TO the I. o. o. I.

THE COMMISSIONERS ENJoINED.
Another Chapter in tn, History Of Famous
Dean Ditch Case.

Yesterday morning an injunction was
served on T. H. Randall, John NJ Allen
and Mr.. Hayden. the county commission
ers, restraining them from taking further
action in the Dean ditch case, which has
occupied their attention more or less for
two years. The injunction was issued on
the complaint of w. B. Jones, one of the
men through whose farm the survey for
the ditch has been made. He alleges that
the changing of the channel of the water
course is not necessary for the public
health, that the signatures to the petition
were obtained through fraud, that the
costs already accrued amount to over
s., 900, that it is waste of public
money, that the defendants threaten
to put teams on his property to tear up his
ground and many other things of like
nature. Therefore he prays the court to
issue restraining order to prevent the de-
PENDANTS from proceeding any farther with
said ditch or taxing any of the costs of the
same up to plaintiff.
Evidently the object of the plaintiff is to
postpone any further work on the ditch till
the middle Of January at which time the
board of county commissioners will be
changed by the admission of Mr.. Bush to
Mr.. Randalls place.

One of the most conspicuous men at the

Marion. who would like to be U'.ited
States senator. supreme court commits
sioner or anything else of an annual value
OF a couple Of thousand dollars or over.
Immediately inside the door he occupied
an easy chair. had ONE leg over another,
with his head resting on the back OF the
chair and while he was not talking TO his
friend, who was evidently another Office
seeker, he was putting cigar smoke UP
towards the ceiling ana contemplating the

they CURED upwards from his lips. He
wore white Stetson hat. a frilled shirt. a
spotless white necktie and the highest
white collar that was ever worn By popu

inch of him. He looks somewhat like her,
acts like her, talks like her and his brain
is filed of the very same ideas that she en-

q Madison Square actor in summer time.

THE BALLOON ASCENT.
The Young Woman Aeronaut and HI,
Mfahau

The Young Woman Aeronaut and Her
Mishap.
The balloon ascension at Santa Monica
yesterday afternoon was dismal fiasco,
and came near being tragedy. The
old canvas bag had been filled with
smoke by 8 80 O'Clock, and wobbled up
and down in very disconsolate fashion
at the foot OF the bluff. near the Area
dia, when the order was given to let go.
1t was with evident reluctance that it
rose slowly, dragging along the para
chute, to which woman in tights
clung. The balloon cleared the lath
fence of the hotel, but the woman, who
was looking seaward, did not. She
struck it squarely with welldeveloped
back, and knocked out half
dozen laths as easy aa fall
ing off q log. Then the parachute
got mixed up with the telephone wire,
and for an instant or two, it looked as
il Mile. de Montgolfier was going to
sever her connection with the parachute
and this world at the same time.
But with firm and magnetic grip,
comparable only to that of Governor
Markham, when out electioneering, che
clung to the ropes and the wire broke,
much to the relief of the several thou
sands, whose hearts were standing still
in the anticipation of horrible acci-
dent.
Then the balloon foated over couple
of houses and turning belly upwards,
like shark which is preparing to make
meal of sailor, belched forth it's black
smoke from the opening, after the style of
locomotive when firing up-and col
lapsed. The aeronaut came down easy,
and barring her battle with the laths,
received no hurts, but today she will
probably nurse several blue and black
bruises.
