SAVE THE HEATHEN.
The Gospel Unions Efforts Closing
the Conven tion.

The Gospel Unions Efforts Closing
the Conven tion.
The Gospel Union convention closed
its three days session last night with a
missionary meeting in the NJ. Il.
church. Much attention was devoted
to foreign mission work during the
sessions, Saturday evening in particu-
lar having reference to the Africans.
The audience was urged to settle it in
prayer whether each was called to go
as a missionary to Congo. Only five,
however, testified to having made the
test, and they did not specify whether
or not they would go.
A feature OF the service was a rising
vote on the proposition that none are
to be saved except those to. whom the
gospel had been preached and who
receive it, thus shutting out all heath
ems since the days Of Adam. Two
thirds Of the audience voted In favor
of the doctrine, but many including
several of the pastors of town did not
rise.
The convention attendants held
several meetings yesterday, the one at
4 O'Clock in the hall being we'll at
tended, Supt. Nash, of Nebraska, a
wideawake, black eyed little man, did
considerable talking and made ~ favor
able impression. The delegates left
for home last night and this morning.

a full house greeted tho young ladies
OF the Elpaal Society on Friday night
in the lecture room of tho First BAPTIST
Church. The program announced seven
tableaux representing Jean Ingelow,s
Songs Of Seven" Tho scenic arrange.
ment was artistic and beautiful, while
the pathetic rendering OF the poem by
an unseen reader gave one clear under
standing of each tablcau and served to
impress tho lessons Of the poem. The
instrumental land vocal music that
followed tho tableaux, together with the
Rotations OF varied literature, the
audience were treated to rare enter
tainment, and tho responsive applause
was hearty and frequent. Where all
lid so we'll, it would be unfair to dis.
eliminate. Tho Elpaals deserve great
credit and may be sure that their enter-
tainments will be largely patronized.

Incendescent Lights.

Major Gardner has launched into
a scheme that will tighten our trouh-
le, and bills. He proposes to put a
system 6 incandescent electric lights
throughout the city His plant will
be put up near Clear Greek, where
sufficient power can be secured to
run his machinery throughout the
year. Many people are not aware
that an incande,cent light is as soft
and easy to the eyes az oil or gas
flames. There IS if anything a bal
ance of softness and power in favor
of electricity.
The difference in cost though but
Sights more than compensated by
the saving in lamp chimneys, burners
furniture soiled by oil, reduction in
your insurance and an over abund-
ance of loud remarks, generally at
tendant at lamp-cleaning bees.
All you have to do is TO press the
button which goes with each light
and the room is instantly thrown in
to bower of brightness.
By taking several lights, that is
sufficient number to light your house
a good reduction is made in the cost.
A single fame will be one dollar
month and is sufficient for 3 large |
room. There is no restriction on
burning hours and it makes no diff |
erence if you operate it all night.
There is no reason why Carson
should be the asst one in the march
IF progressive improvements and es-
oecially so when the re.ns of new
leal are in the hands of young man
ike Major Gardner He is circulate
ag petition for signers and when
t is sufficiently full to warrant the
outlay to complete such
,enture, he will Immediately put up
lis pow,r house and let his light
hine.

MEAN GEESE.
How Hy. Downs and Party Were
Badly Fooled.

The other d.y Hy. Downs and a
couple of friends purchased So worth
of whisky ard three sacks of whe t,
which they took out to Washoe Lake.
After saturatjng the wheat thor
oughly in the liquid fire, they placed
the booze inducing compound on the
island at the lake, and awaited de-
velopments. Before long a big
flock of geese landed on the island,
and devoured every vestige of the
bait.
Of course. Downs and his compan-
ions expected to see the geese become
helplsssly intoxicated, and fall an
easy prey to their barley sacks.
They (the other geese) had two
horse wagon handy for the purpose
of taking the boozy birds to Carson,
where they figured on realizing very
heavily on the inv stment.
You should have seen those gents
when, to their utter establishment,
after partaking of the richest feast
they had ever run across. those birds
tapped their wings, rose in the air
and sailed away, little crookcdly
perhaps, in the direction of the Cars
son Sink, forming the letter 50 as
they W MT, which the boys took as
standing for suckers. The festive
birds probably had their jag out at
that point.
If Genoa or Empire whisky had
been used instead of the prime article
sold by A. Livingston, things would
have turned out differently.
Hy Aays the next whisky he buys
won't reach any geese, that is, not !
any with wings.
