q MAD HOG.
He Caused Scare in the seventh Addition All
Day Yesterday.

The greatest excitement on the West
Side yesterday was the mad hog scare,
which prevailed there during the entire
| forenoon. Who the hog belonged to no
body seems to know, but there is one
thing certain, and that is, she was a holy
| terror on four feet. She was frothing at
| the mouth and tackled everything from a
chicken to a telegraph pole. One of her
| first victims was the young man who de-
| livers goods for Mr.. Francis the grocer.
This young man is as fleet of foot as any
boy OF his age on the West Side, but he
he could not keep out OF the way OF that
hog. The result was he was chased over
100 acres of territory. and the poor boy
had TO climb a dozen trees and
a half dozen telegraph poles,
to prevent being torn to pieces by the viii
ainous porker He was kept up in the
branches of one tree for nearly twenty
minutes and had il not been for the fact
that the lady hog spotted another victim
he would be kept there much longer. A
young fellow named Chamberlain was fol-
lowed distance of three blocks and had it
not been for the fact that he kept a cool
head on his shoulders aud made snort
would find himself unpleasantly dealt
with. A lady was chased half block and
had it not been for "A friendly gate that
stood ajar TO receive her she would suffer
seriously. As il was she lost four or five
yards of henrietta for the hog caught hold
of her dress as she entered the gate and
yanked it off from the waist down leaving
her dressed in white and black instead Of
all black when she reached the porch of a
neighbor. Que young lady, and society
young lady at that, was chased almost
out of her new-fangled suspenders
and had it not been for
ladder she climbed it is hard to tell what
would become of her. When she was up
eight or ten steps of sthe ladder the hog
was at tie bottom looking up at her Just
then doubled comb rooster came around
the end of the barn to see the fun. and the
hog took after him for his curiosity. In
making a dive for the rooster he ran
against the ladder, and down came 120
pounds of feminity with a dull thud.
The hog was too busy after the rooster
to notice the incident, and the youny lady
had just time 10 climb a fence and get
over on the other side when the rooster
WAS nailed behind the barn door and killed
deader than mackerel in two seconds.
y Mrs. Thomas was straining a skillet
of potatoes at her back door On Dodge
avenue when the hog came bouncing by
her, and turning round she greeted him
with dose of hot water on the snoot,
which sent him bowling down the street
at rate OF speed that would make Nancy
Hanks green with envy. She Ghe hog)
entered a wilderness of sunflowers on
South Dodge and that was the last seen of
her. Last night posse went in search OF
her, armed with guns, pitchforks and
other destructive instruments, and it is
probable that her porkship is in the happy
hunting ground by this time

A WILD CAT SCARE.
he PROVIDES Around The West Side and Plays
Havoc Among Other Cats.

he PROVIDES Arsund The West Side and Plays
Havoc Anon. Other Cats
The feline society of the West Side is
keeping mighty still and laying mighty
low these nights. The trouble is there Is a
wild cat in that section of the city that is
making things mighty uncomfortable for
the more rational members of his species.
Properly speaking he is not wild cat but
mad cat. During the past ten days more
chickens and cats have Bit the dust in
the West Side than during the
entire ten mon tbs preceding. la fact
there is not morning that some citizen
of the Fifth ward does not get out to greet
the morning sun only TO find the carcas OF
his domestic Ca lying cold and stiff in
death or half dozen chickens minus the
mortal coil. They did not know what was
the trouble till Mix Stanton OF the
West Side grocery made the discovery.
He was lying in his bed three or TO ur
nights ago watching the pale moon Gid
ing sereuely through the ethereal blue
when he heard commot ion among his
chickens. Fearing some thieves were
around ne caut iously stole out with the
avowed intention of making pepper boxes
massive Thomas cat turning sommer-
sault over the pailing fence and lighting
out like an arrow with fire flashing from
his eyes. He thought no more Of it till
morning when he started out to unlock
his store for the days business. The first
thing his eyes rested upon was the
familiar face of his old pet cat gaping at
him and as dead as door nail 4 little
further examination of the premises
revealed two or three of his chickens
whose spirits had winged their flight to
other realms. Since then the good people
of the West Side have been after that mad
cat with vengeance in their hearts, but so
far he has successfully kept up his lick
killing other cats, and nobody has sue
ceeded in catching him at it. He is
"Jack-the Ripper" kind of a fellow, and
the great popularity about his work is
that he never attempts to devour his vic
TINS. 1t was at first thought that he was
an escaped wild cat, from the menagerie
on South Main street, but inquiry there
revealed the fact that there has been no
cage delivery from that institution.

A MOTT BLOOMING CEREus.

Friday evening at the City shoe store
there was on exhibition plant of the
specie "cactacea, known as the night
blooming cereus or ''cereus grandiforus. "
This plant has been raised and cultured
and cultured by Mrs. Hays. 1t had three
blooms and of rare beauty and whiteness.
They began opening about o'clock and
10 were in full blossom Hundreds visited
the store and saw for the first time one of
these strange beautiful mysteries of the
night. The question is often asked, WHY
do they bloom or unfold at nightF' Why,
the reporter can't say. o. course, nature
works in mysterious ways, and in
the case of these plants there
are some properties in the alchemic
OF nature which would or do explain it
and scientists may have gwen the reason

which says
Sweet is the form OF the fusa,
Sweet is the scent OF the roses;
But swester than all is the secret
That in their growing reposes."
Half Of Us live along in cateless, hum

Of the sun, and are Indifferent: to the magic

Mr.. and Mrs. Hays were busy receiving
and describing these flowers. But why

The mail service of Mexico is most
wretched and cannot be compared with
the United States unparalleled system of
the transmission of mail matter. Mexico
is rapidly getting to be known as health
resort. Its hot springs are wonderful for
their curative powers and Mr.. Campbell
cites several cases where some of the
wealthiest business men of Monterey came
to Mexico with the hope of dying within a
short time. Many who came there ema-
ciated by disease and broken down, have
recovered their health are now robust aud
healthy citizens.
But Mr.. Campbell says that while a
trip like this is very pleasant and business
opportunities may also be excellent. yet
he will never remove his home from

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK

en- chain of transmission from the
apostles, to succession of a minis.
try so ordained to the powers and
privileges of the apostles. 1t would
be impossible for any person to
prove a lineal descent or succession
from any of the apostles, and it is
just as impossible for any church to
show an unbroken line of bishops
from apostolic days. In the time of
the apostles the Office of bishop, |. e.,
an officer, ruling over, given dis
trict or number of churches, was
unknown. Titus was instructed to
ordain elders in all of the churches,
see Titus l, 5. In verse; he is de-
scribing the qualifications of an elder
and he speaks of him as bishop.
In Acts Xxx II Paul has before him
the elders of Ephesus. In verse 2S
he speaks of them as overseers.
Hence the words elder, bishop and
overseer are interchangeable and APP
ply to the same Office. Every elder
is a bishop.
That none can succeed to the pow.
ers or privileges of an apostle is
seen in the selection of Matthias,
Acts 2l. He was selected because
he "Companioned with us (apostles)
all the time that the Lord Jesus went
in and out among u.s." An apostle Is
an eye witness of Jesus.
In apostolic times the laying on of
hands was not for the importation of
the Holy Spirit or 10 complete the
work OF baptism" In reading of the
thousands of conversions in the book
of Acts we do not read of the impo-
sition of hands. God has promised
the gift of the Spirit to all who obey
Him, Acts ii 3S. AT the choosing of
deacons (Acts iv ~ hands. of the
apostles were placed on the seven
men--not TO make them Christians,
they were that--but to set them
apart to the office. BY this Philip
was miraculously endowed. Paul
conferred upon Timothy special gift
when he laid hands on him, III Tim.
i 16.
True apostolic succession consists
in following the teachings Of the
apostles. The Word of God informs
us as to that. Whatever is out Of
harmony with Gods word is un-
apostolic. Teaching for doctrine" the
commandments of men is not accord
ing to the apostles.
