Bismarck summarily checked the in

The Gospel Meetings.

The series of union gospel meetings

flowing audiences and the interest is

his evident sincerity and abiding ear
nestness hold his hearers attention
without break. His arrangements are
very methodical and complete, every
detail being carefully attended to.
The corps of young men ushers do
their various duties pleasantly and
thoroughly.
The singing o. Mrs. Pierson is the
finished work of professional coupled
with the expressiveness of Christian
soul ahame with devotion. Her solos
are most helpful feature of every
service, and the chorus choir led by
assistant evangelist Evans, sing with
fine fervor and effect. Mr.. Evans
leadership is of high order. and his
various duties are so performed as to
very much assist the services.
There is an unusual activity mani
fest on the part of the believers of the
various churches and the number OF
those who are deciding to be Chris.
tians is already quite encouraging to
the workers. 1t becomes more evi.
dent daily thu. our city was extremely
fortunate in securing the labors OF
these very efficient people to conduct
these meetings.

Newspaper Inconsistency.

A newspaper man will sit up nights
to write something kind about a fell
low citizen, to help him along even
when he may have no personal friend
ship for or interest in either, and will
pay out good money to put his words
in type after they have been written,
yet the persons who are benefited sell
dom think of making return, at
tributing the notice to their personal
greatness. Ten chances to one they
will send out of town Tor their next
job of work or will take it to an exclu-
sive job shop under the impression of
making a saving. or they will take it
somewhere to offset bad debt. But
the newspaper man keeps right along
looking pleasant and saying good
things about every body and spending
more time to ascertain the particulars
of what Mr.. John Doe has done than
would be required TO write an article

Nearing the End.

Less than two months from to-day
the worlds Columbian Exposition will
be closed, and all the grand sights of
that flower and elimination of the
material and mental development of
the nineteenth century will be but
memory-yet a memory that will be
recalled many times with pleasure.
Do you wish that pleasure to be yours!
Then you should make your arrange
ments soon to go to the Fair. The last
few days of any great exhibition are
apt to be unsatisfactory; the crowds
are great, and some wheels in the ma
chine are likely to be out Of gear.
Really, if you have any ideas above
plain bread and butter, if you are not
satisfied to remain fixed all your days
il one place, you cannot afford to miss
a visit-short though it may be-to
the Worlds Fair. In arranging for
your trip you wish the railroad part
of it to be safe, comfortable and
speedy. This you can secure by ask
ing your home ticket agent to supply
YOU with a railroad ticket reading
