The Young Peoples Society of
Centenary M. E. church, gave recep-
tion at the church parlOrs last evening
to the students of the Normal, Bust
ness college and High school. There
was very fine attendance, and an en-
joyable time. The rooms were very
tastefully decorated with plants,
autumn leaves and vines. The re-
freshments were prepared under the
management of Miss Ella Gable, and
were very dainty. They were ele-
gantly served by the young people.
Miss Mable Peart gave very excel
lent recitation during the evening,
but the time was mostly spent in good
fellowship. 1t was voted altogether
splendid success.

WHENEVER the ReUie,U opens it's
mouth on any matters connected with
the action OF the council, it is to
abuse Aldermen Higgs, Pitcher,
Widell and Bashaw, or to impugn
their motives, which amounts to the
same thing. 1t is making terrible
howl about applying the amount of
money derived from the premium on
bonds to the liquidation of eight per
cent. interest bearing loans, declaring
it illegal and fraudulent. If the Re
rieoC editor could sell his legal talent
for what he thinks it is worth and
bid it in at it's real value, he would
make a thousand per cent. on the
deal. The council comes pretty nearly
knowing what it is doing when it
comes down to question of selling
bonds and applying the premium
money derived therefrom, and "the
four Higges" will continue to do bust
ness at the "old stand" while the Re
UieW proceeds to show it's jealous
spirit and expose it's ignorance to a
pittying public.

THERE is great deal of gratuitous
talk among certain Democrats that
Mr.. Currier will eventually give
his consent to and withdraw
his name from the Populist
ticket all for the benefit of
Gen. Pope's candidacy for the sem
ate. Those who are circulating such
stuff evidently do not know the kind
OF material of which Mr.. Currier is
made. He is Populist from princi-
cle-not merely for office-and his
party having nominated him for the
state senate, it may be put down as a
certainty that he will not 'come Off
until the polls close. Mr. Currier is
to be commended for standing by his
convictions, and in declining to be
made the tool of any party or any set
of men eager for office The FREE
PRESS does not endorse Mr.. Curriers'
politics in any particular, but it adj
mires him for his manly independence
and trmneSS of character.

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS
The Steeple of the Swedish Luth-
eran Church Badly Wrecked
This Morning.

A change in the weather took place
early Thursday, the wind shifting
to the west and the air filling with
smoke and fog Some rain fell, and
there were several sharp strokes of
lightning. One of these bolts struck
the steeple of the Swedish Lutheran
church, and almost completely demol-
ished it. 1t was left in terribly
wrecked condition. and was set on
fire, but the fire department respond
ed promptly and stream of water
reached the blaze, just above one of
the steeple windows. A small chemi-
cal engine was taken up into the
tower and did good work there, SO
that the loss was very little.
TimberS were shattered and hurled
every way, bricks and stone were
rained down upon the ground and
large pieces of roof were torn off.
Falling bricks broke the glass in win
dows of adjoining houses. Where the
bolt left the building or how it reach
ed the ground cannot be ascertained
The steeple will have to be rebuilt,
and the damage cannot be less than
$500 to $500. The building was insur-
ed against fire, lightning and lorna
does, but the insurance was divided
mp on parts of the building. and it is
not known whether there was enough
on the steeple to meet the loss. The
insurance foots up to one-third Of the
value of the building.
The bolt knocked Mr.. Bienapf1
down, at the corner of Main and Sec
ond streets, and threw Capt. Holmes
against his bench in his shop. 1t
blinded whoever saw it.
A curious freak of the subtle fluid
was in Henry Robels house, next to
the church. Mr.. Cain rents the lower
floor and bolt came from nobody
knows where and struck the lead pipe
over the sink in the kitchen and
melted it and struck dish pan lean
ing against the pipe. A towel was
spread over three-gallon stone jar of
vinegar. The cloth over the center
of the jar was set on fire and burned
round hole three inches across. The
jar was not injured. The wall was
discolored.
So far as is known, no further dam
age was done.

PROPOSED LECTURE COURSE.

The physicians lawyers, teachers
and professional men generally will be
interested in a course Of lectures to
be given in this city by DR.. w. X.
Sudduth of Minneapolis. This gen.
tleman is dean of the dental depart
ment of the State University and is a
travelled and highly accomplished
man. The course of lectures which it
is proposed to have him give will
be on the subject of Psychologists.
There are number of university eX-
tention courses of lectures, and this is
one. The lecturers are not allowed
to charge over $40 and expenses for
each lecture, and 800 will pay for the
course. That is, 100 tickets at dol
lar each will meet the requirements,
and these ought easily be disposed of.
DR.. M. B. Wood has taken an interest
in the matter, and committee will
endeavor to dispose Of enough tickets
to ensure the course. The lectures
will be given one or two a week as
desired, on Friday or Saturday nights
or both.
To give an idea of the scope of the
lectures, the following summary of
topics will be of interest:
L. Laws governing psychic pheno-
mena.
a. This will include the considera-
tion of the dual nature of mans mind.
b. The conditions of the body
favorable to the study of mental
phenomena.
c. The influence of physical en-
vironment upon psychical pheno-
mena.
IL. Natural sleep. An attempt to
explain it's physiology and psychology.

III. Induced sleep or hypnotism.
(Illustrated)
". The trance state, spiritism
and mediumship.
V. Faith cure, Christian science
and theosophy.
vi. Practical application to every
day life, medicine, surgery, pedogogic.
DIR. Sudduth is highly interesting
lecturer, and his thoughts and re-
searches will be of much value. 1t
will be seen that the course covers
the ground of psycho-physics very
thoroughly, and some of the lectures
will be illustrated in very interest
ing manner. They will be treat for
those who take an interest in this
subject.
