The "Truth Seeker" Biggest
lnfideI Paper in America, sizes
me up.

Aweekly journal claiming to be 'the
only prohibition paper published by a
Heather" comes from Lexington, KY,
and is called the BLUE GRASS BLADE
Charles c. Moore is the editor and keeps
himself in the readers mind by means
or his picture and also by using the cap
ital 81" instead of the editorial we" He
thinks Lexington good place for a pa
per like his, because whisky and religion
of the most popular brands are
made there and shipped to the heathen
in the same barrel. Brer Moore, who
describes himself as "durned old Inf
del" has had varied experience, having
been in both the pulpit and the Jail. All
the ministers of Lexington who enjoy
his acquaintance are his friends; and,
says he, with great modesty, "there are
other ministers here who would by my
friends if they had the pleasure and
honor to know me-" One of Editor
Moore's unsatisfed warnings is to see
Mohammed recognized by an amend
ment to the federal Constitution, for the
Prophet was the first prohibitionist,
and his influence is still felt among his
followers. He also desires to meet Col
onel Ingersoll in debate on prohibi-
tion, being certain that he can give the
great orator what David gave Goliah
The paper contains a short article on
the sanctity of the Sabbath, in which
Mr.. Moore say: "My habit has been for
years to work on my farm on Sunday
just like any other day, and though un-
der this disregard of religious sanitation
l have never been struck by lightning
and enjoy such health that can any day
walk to Lexington and back-sixteen
miles-and 1 am fifty-six years old, 1
find that age and trouble are more and
more inclining me to the consultations
of religion, and have concluded hereaf-
ter to devote my Sundays to pious med
itation and fishing" In this way he
hopes to atone for errors of the past.
The old man is writer of remarkable
continuity, and contributes about a
dozen long columns to his paner. There
are no birds of his feather ti Jock with
him, es he beiabors Inideis hot being
prohibitionists, and he can't catch on to
the prohibitionist procession because he
is an Infidel. l am afraid the BLUE
GRASS BLADE will not do much to pop
ularize unbelief, but it may accomplish
something in the way of stimulating
thought in Prohibition circles.

GOOD SHOOTING DONE.

The Wind in a Measure Prevented Great
 Scores.
 Seagirt; N. J., Sept. 3.-The camp grounds at Seagirt are filled with marksmen from all parts of the United States. Some excellent shooting was done to-day, although a strong wind in a great measure prevented any ex- traordinary scores. A heavy mist also hung over the targets and made it al- most impossible to discern them. This, however, lifted toward noon and made the shooting much better
 The best score of the day was made by Private Stout of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania infantry. who scored 4S out of possible 50 at the 500 range. A dozen other scores ran up as high as 46 and a number made 45. Governor Werts, president of the New Jersey Rifle association, watched the shooting with great interest. The teams from Massachusetts and Connecticut hit the bull-eyes on all sides.

A Dense Cloud of Smoke Envelopes the
 Country for Many Miles.
 Ishpeming, Mich., Sept 3.-The grav- ity of the situation caused by the fires in the forests continues to increase every hour. The long drought displays no signs of abatement, while every morass adjacent to the city Is aglow with flame. A dense cloud of smoke en- velopes the country for many miles, obstructing business and offering con- stant menace to travel Dust and ashes are falling in showers. The volunteer fire brigade is divided into convenient squads, which are doing effective work.
 The district lying between the Brad ford farm and the Dead river to the north is a vast expanse of underbrush and is now lake of fire. The same is true of the course of the Caro river. Consternation prevails at the Salisbury location to the south. The force on special duty there is offering a stub- born resistance, and may yet save part of the suburb from destruction.
 Sagota and Floodwood on the Mill waukee and Northern are being hourly threatened, also Even and neighbor- ing towns on the Duluth extension of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic company. t'~
