THAT "COWARDLY BACK
DOWN.
Its FaIsehOOds Spitted Bolton a,
n RI9sfFeg..

Its FaIsehOods Spttted Bolton as
BLssf'er.
The story of Mr.. Bottoms bluff as to
joint debates between himself and
Judge Blanchard is this: Mr.. Bolton,
through the democratic committee,
challenged Judge Blanchard to joint
discussion, each side to name one-half
of theplaces. ItWas accepted quicken
scat, and then Mr. Porter, the demo
cratic chairman, and Mr.. Hsdley, repub-
Iican chairman, met and agreed on the
details, and put them all in cold black
and white, signed by both. By them
they thought the matter fully settled,
and each proceeded to make arrange
ments.
After that, Mr.. Ross, the secretary of
the committee, notified Mr.. Hsdley
that Mr.. Porter had not had the author
ity to make the arrangements, hut Por-
ter says he had full powers as chair
man to do just as he did. He found
out that Bolton was simply using him
to play cold bluff, and that for fact
Bolton did not want a '.joint" of this
sort, and so when called on to come
into the "ring" his sand failed him. 1t
is entirely characteristic of the man.
Plenty of wind but short on sand"
Then Mr.. Porter reported Mr.. Bolton
as sick unto death, from impaction of
the bowels, or some other semi-sentence
of death. Meanwhile James was doing
an able bodied ROSTERS work in formu-
lating circular chuck full of misrep-
resenting of Judge Blanchard and
others.
Mr.. Bolton uses an alleged interview
with Judge Blanchard, published in
the Chicago Herald. Not one word
was ever spoken to the Chicago Herald
man by Judge Blanchard on any ques-
ton save to pass the customary greet
ings of the day! 1t was all lie, abso-
Lutte and complete. 1t was an inspired
lie, and perhaps Mr.. Bolton knew some
thingofi it. So also that reference to Mr..
Johnson-a1 lie, and born so for the
purposes of such thing.
He puts words into speech for Judge
Blanchard at Muchskinock that he
never spoke-using the Chicago inter
view lie as his basis-and scatters the
same in circular form all over the
county. Having lodged out of con-
test in joint debate of his own chal-
lenging, he seeks by the circular meth
cd to gain point that he never could
hope to have reached by fair meeting
before the people. 1t is so easy to fire
off glittering generalities at the voter
by circular-but, in Mr.. Bottoms case,
there stands nothing whatever of secu-
rity that he would stand to anything
there declared-nothing but the wind
of a candidate afraid to stand by the
fair agreement of his own chairman,
duly empowered to act as his amhassa
dor in the negotiations entered into and
carried out, in black and white!
1t is shame that Chairman Porter
should be so Inundated before the
public. He was wholly sincere in his
desire to bring about a joint meeting.
But the whole matter is so Boltonian
that the people of this county will not
be caught in any degree by it.

TIE NesC Stone Chapel Of the Chris
tiaa Cg.urch TO be Dedicated o1s
Sunday.
This occasion that will mark the be-
ginning of new epoch in the history
of that congregation, has caused q
search of the records for its past his
tory. On last Sunday, the occasion OF
the last service in the old chapel, Rev
Wickizer said: THE history of this
congregation dates from its organiza-
tion, March 20, 1886. The number COM
prising the organization was eleven
These came from four families. The
place of organization was Immediately
opposite THE HERALD Office, on the
north side of the street, in log house
owned by Robert CASTOR. In 1853 and
"a the present chapel was completed
made possible by the liberal gifts OF
Richard Parker and DR.. Owen, both OF
whom have passed from earthly scenes
to their eternal reward. Two years
later. at q convention held atthe chapel,
October, 1856, it was decided to locate
and build Oskslooss College on its
present site. Thus our fathers and
mothers laid the foundations and build
ed thereon institutions whose influences
for good will never be fully known un-
til revealed in eternity"
Mrs. Mary Sewers was the only one
present in the large audience Sunday
morning at the old chapel who was
prerent at its dedication and remem-
bered distinctly the services.
Great preparations have been made
to make the dedication of the new
chapel an event long to be remembered
A large number of invitations have
been sent out, neighboring congrega-
tions have been invited, and chorus
of more than so voices has been drilled
to furnish music on that occasion.
F. NJ. Rains, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Fl,
nsncial Secretary of the F. c. NJ. B. has
been secnred and will address the citi-
zens Saturday evening at 7:S0. This
will be the first meeting in the new
chapel. Sunday morning at 1890 will
Occur the dedicational services. At 8
P. NJ. will be held a union service, at
which time the pastors of the city and
a representative of the business men
will give short addresses. Mr.. Rains
will address the people in the evening
as well as at the morning service.
Arrangements have been made for the
noon hour to be one of the pleasant
features of the day, in the way of a
basket dinner. The friends are invited
to come and bring their baskets and en-
joy a good time. AS citizens We can
we'll be proud of this new edifice. 1t is
an ornament to our city. Its entire
seating capacity will be nearly if not
equal to that of the Opera-hOuse. AS
citizens we have just pride in what
ever improves and beauties our city.
Let us show our appreciation by assist
ing in making the dedication services
of this chapel one of interest and profit
to us all.

SOLID WORK-An examination of
the new hot water heater, made by
Harry Harrington and put into the new
Beman cottage on North Third avenue,
finds it to be one of the best constructed
water pipe heaters we have yet seen.
Mr.. Harrington is a practical mechanic,
and he has put his idea into solid form
in such way that the greatest and most
economical results will follow. For its
construction special patterns were
made, and that furnace will stand many
years of usage. He proposes that they
shall all be on the same plan of con-
struction, so that there will be only
words of praise for the system, and the
hot water system has been proven sue
eessful everywhere where properly put
up. May it grow up big and large.

FINE WORK.-The scaffolding is all
removed from the Ben Wightman stone
residence on East High avenue, and il
stands forth as one of the most beauti.
full pieces of work in the west, and ii
attracting much attention. Parties
from other localities have been here to
inspect and admire it. There is quite
a history connected with the building
Mr.. Wightmsn had the plans drawn
and arrangements perfected for brick
structure. By mere accident Mr.. Geo
Carbon found the COlons sandstone
Mr.. Wightman and Mr.. Carlon went tC
the quarry, at Colona, Ills, ana made
thorough examinations, and it took but
little persuasion on the part of contrac
tor Carbon to induce Mr.. Wightman tC
change his plans for stone building
Arrangements were made with the Co
Iona parties and the work was com
menced. On May l the work was be
gun and the last stone was placed
On October 1, making the time of build
ing just five months, and not a day lost
J. NJ. Price was the master mason, and
laid every stone in the entire building
and his work will bear the test of an
expert and skilled workman. The
skill of the builder is shown in every
wall and arch. He has used the
different sized blocks of stone to very
rretty effect, placing the thicker and
heavier at the bottom and gradually
diminishing the courses to the top. w
B. Hadley had charge Of the carpentel
force, and the finishing touches are il
direct keeping with the exterior, al
material being the best in the market
The general exterior appearance vii
be but little changed by the painting
which will not be finished until mex
season. Mr.. Carlon thinks that within
the next decade our city will contain
a number of Colona sandstone resi-
dences or buildings, and we feel Ger
tain that his predictions are within
reasonable bounds. It is such hom,
as appeals to the pride of all citizens
and Mr.. Wightman is not only to b
congratulated on having so beautiful |
home but on having added an elegan
Improvement to the city in general.
