A MONEY MAKING GOSPEL.
An Evangelist at HOIton Who Charges
Admission and ROasts People.

An Evangelist at HOIton Who Charges
Admission and Roasts People.
There is trouble at Holton. There
recently dropped into that pretty, peace
able town a special Christian evangelist
said to be from Illinois and bearing the
name of Boles. There is a handsome
grove near the city university and Mr..
Boles has selected it for his meetings.
Every night he breaches there to great
crowds, and if reports are true, uses some
stirring language. He seems to have been
particularly bitter against the races
which are to begin there the last of
August and said great many things
about the races and their management,
and the Recorder. Editor Beck's paper,
declares has even gone 80 far as to call
people sdevils" and other things
Recently forty-siX merchants of the
town signed an agreement to close their
places of business on the four afternoons
of the races, but Mr. Boles' power has
been SO great that one-third of them are
said to have Withdrawn their names.
All this led the Recorder to criticise
briefly, and now there is war from Camp
bell university to the creek on the south
and from a point three miles west to
Reederer's mill.
Boles and Beck are now having it
"hot and heavy" with Beck a neck
ahead.
Boles, however, is doing a very good
job of roasting Mr.. Beck to the delight
of many people who like to hear any
body roasted. Mr. Boles charges ten
cents admission to the roast on Sundays
it is said. Last Sunday he drew $3.50,
and for three Sundays has not taken in
less than $780, The church people are
trying to get him to stay over the races
and put in a few touches on the mana
gers then
This paragraph in the Recorder of last
week is what stirred up all the trouble:
"Some who have heard the evangelist
are complaining that he denounces
pretty nearly everybody and calls people
hard names. This is the way he draws
an audience. An evangelist who would
simply preach the gospel, however elo-
quent and logical he might be, and neg
lect to resort to the trick of seeing how
bad he could talk and not be actually
profane, would get powerful lonesome
over there in the grove, and the gate
collections would be so small that the
managers would have to borrow tina
telescope to see them. Nine-tenth oil
those who go there get just what they gC
for, and the other tenth get probably
what they deserve for indulging theil
curiosity, and at the same time trying Il
make believe that they go to worship anC
to advance the cause of Christianity"

POTTAWATOMIES ACT UGLY
They Brighten Sheriff NayIOr and Others
on the Reservation.

They Brighten Sheriff NayIOr and Others
OF the Reservation.
HoLToN, July 27.-The Pottawatomie
Indians have their war paint on. About
sixty anti allotment Indians held cOun-
Gil after their green corn dance, and de-
cided that no white man could cut and
take away hay off the reservation. The
head-right contingent of the reservation
sold hay to whites, and the Indian agent
/. T. Pearson. gave orders to chief of In
dian police, Charles A. Shepard, to ar
rest any Indian who interfeyed with the
whites cutting or taking their own hay.
Shepard knew the feeling among the
Indians and came to dolton and swore out
warrants for the ring leaders of the al
lOtment Indians, Mat-tuaush-she,w who had
sworn to kill the agent and about twelve
other officers. Charles Shepard had
Frank Naylor, Deputy Sheriff William
Ressner, and Indian Policeman John
Preston go with him to aid in the arrest.
After reaching the reservation the
officers found themselves surrounded by
% to 80 Indians, each Indian having
either a rifle, revolver or a tomahawk.
Two squaws wanted to handle Charles
Shepard, the chief of the Indian police.
The officers beat a hasty retreat and
came back to Holton and are attem pting
to organize posse, but so far have
failed.
Charles Shepard, Ressner and Naylor
are on their way to lay the matter before
the Indian agent and expect to call on
the government for assistance.
The Diminished reserve is eleven miles
square and contains go Indians. The
trouble is over the allotment of lands
and they are very much dissatisfied. The
home guards are fearful lest they be
called out to assist in restoring order.

Rev. Mr.. Rocks of svestmOreIand Grossly
Ill Treated by Four Men.
A dispatch to the Leavenworth Times
from Westmoreland, Kan, says: T. S.
Rocks, Baptist minister of the gospel
at this place, was called from his house
about half past eleven o'clock last night
taken half u mile west of town, and Civ
en- coat of tar and feathers by four IN
known persons.
The clerical gentleman has created
considerable scandal of late. He is &C
cused of attempting TO assault we'll
known young lady of this place. He has
been tried by the church several times,
and each time acquitted.
Mrs. Rocks, wife of the pastor, is posi-
tive she knows the persons who tarred
and feathered her husband. When Rev.
Mr.. Rocks was taken from the house his
wife accompanied the party in hack.
At the time of the application of the
tar and feathers, Rocks was kicked and
pounded almost to death. He was told
that, if found in town again he would be
hanged or shot.
The whole party, four in number. will
be arrested shortly.

GHOST IN A HOTEL.
Narrative of a Singular Experience of
Lord and Lady Dunraven.


Lord and Lady Dunraven.
Apropos of the report that the Bre-
WORT house was to be closed up there
is story that Lady Dunraven has been
known to tell about the famous old inn.
The countess is described by those who
know her as a woman much more in
cined to common sense than to ghost
haunted cock lanes, even with Dr.
JOhnsOn's authority. She used to tell
the facts in the tale simply for what
they were worth. 1t was more than one
decade ago, years before the ValkyrIe
was thought of, when Lord Dunraven
was first interested in the mining
regions of northern Michigan. He and
Lady Dunraven were staying in New
York for a few days before starting
west and had taken rooms al the Bre-
Voort-plea SAINT rooms-with a view of
the avenue and nice glimpse of Wash
ington square. The first night, being
tired with their voyage, they went
early to bed, as it happened, not so
early to sleep. Both the earl and
countess were blessed with hearty Eng
fish constitutions. They were not at
all accustomed to lying awake till the
small hours. They wondered what they
could have done, what they could have
eaten or drank to affltct them with
such gratuitOus vigilance. Just at
venture, finally, they bundled them
selves out into an adjoining parlor,
made themselves extempore couches
there, and slept soundly till morning.
Next night and the night after there
was the same wakefulness and in the
end the same migration to the adjoin-
ing room for relief They began to
think they should have to leave town
earlier than they had planned, for they
would not for the world have made
any pretext to shift chambers. The ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery, if it was an
explanation, came out by chance. They
had call before long from an old
time New Yorker whom they met in
England, an authority on all matters
pertaining to the towns history. Il
wonder" he remarked casually, that
they should have given you these
rooms. You know it was in that room
that a Mr.. x. hanged himself" It was
In that room that Lord and Lady Dun
raven had tried in vain to sleep, and
they exchanged significant glances. or
course it was only coincidence, they
said, but the next day they took their
departure for the west.-New York
Tribune.

LONDON, July 27.-Election results
show three Unionist gains out of four
elections. The election at Newmarket
was one of the most interesting OF the
whole session. The victory of MIR. Hugh
McCalmont, the we'll known sportsman
and one of the owners of Valkyrie III,
and the ousting of Sir George Newnes
by such strong majority is great VIC
tory for the turtles.
Sir George was a prominent leader OF
the anti-gambling league, aud conse-
ouently Newmarket, which depends
upon racing, was easily stirred up
against him. 1t was a good chance of
wiping out Sir Georges majority. The
sporting newspapers vigorously entered
into the campaign in favor of Mccall
mont, declaring that Newmarket would
be ruined if Sir George Newnes and his
selfshness had their way.
The Leicester racing authorities did
their best to assist McCalmont by arrang-
ing to finish the racing there early yes
terday in order to enable the racing men
to return 10 Newmarket in time to vote
for McCamOnt.
When the general elections began the
sporting league was formed against
those candidates who supported the
anti-gam bling agitation, and a black list
was drawn up with the result that their
efforts have been the defeat of thirteen
anti gamblers namely: Messrs. Nacroji.
