Dancing.

Whenever balls and dancing par
ties have been the rule, religious eX-
perience has declined, religious aggres-
Sive efforts have been paralyZed, back
sliding from the church has increased,
the people have lost interest in lcncv-
olrncences, and generally the cause Of
religion has suffered. On the other
hand, We have found that where
Christians were active, devoted, and
faithful, where additions were being
made to the churches, where rrforma-
items were in progress and souls being
saved-where. in IL word, the religious
element prcdominated, there this
amusement could moi find subsistence,
but always declined before such intiu-
enceS. This forces upon us the con-
victi0n that the ball room and its asso-
ciati0ns and the church of Christ are
opposiles. They cannot flourish to-
gethcr. They are utterly irrecOncila-
ble and those who are for the one are
against the other. The SUCCESS of one
is certain death 10 the other. The
friends of one cannot consistently lie
friends of the other. Selected.

Luiller's SNOW Song.

On cold dark night, when the
wind was blowing hard and the snow
| falling fast, Conrad, a worthy citizen
of little town in Germany, sat play
ing his flute, while Ursula, his wife,
WAS preparing supper. They heard Il
voice singing outside:
Foxes To their holes have gone.
Every bird unto its neSl:
lut wander here alone,
And Tor me there jS no rest.
Tears flied the good mans eyes us
he said "What Il fine, sweet voice !!
Wha; Il pity it should hr spoiled by
ueing tried jim such weather.!
II think it is the voice of child.
Let us open the door and ser,' said his
wife who had lost Il little boy not long
before, and whose heart was Op-ned To
take pity on the little wanderer.
Conrad opened the door, and saw a
ragged child, who said:
"Charity; good sir, for Christ's
sake ~
"Come in, my little nne,' said he.
"IOu shall rest with me for the
night"
The boy said, "rhank God ~ and
entered. The heat of the room made
HIM faint, but trsula's kind care soon
revived him. They gave him some
supper, and then he told them he was
the son of Il poor miner, and wanted to
br II scholar. lie wandered about and
sang, and lived on the money people
gave him. His kind friends would
not let him talk much, but sent hlm
to bed. When he WAS asleep they
looked i'm upon him, and were SO pleas
ed with his countenance that they
determined to keep him if he was will
ing. I'm the morning they found that
he was only too glad to remain with
them.
They sent him to school, and after
ward he went into Il monastery.
There one day he found a Bible, which
he read, and learned the way Of life.
The sweet voice Of the little singer be-
came the strong echo of good news.
"Justited by faith we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ. J."
Conrad and Ursula, when they took
that street singer into their house, lit
tie thought they were nourishing the
great champion of the Reformation.
The poor child was Martin Luther.
The song which Luther sung on
that memorable night is as follows:
Lord of heaven ! lone and sad,
would lift my eyes 10 Thee;
Pilgrim i'm foreign land
Gracious Father, look on me,
shall neither faint nor die.
While walk beneath Thine eye.
will stay my faith on Thee,
And will never fear and tread
Where the Saviour Master leads:
He will give me daily bread,
Christ was hungry. Christ was poor
He will feed me from His store.

But wander here alone,
And for me there II no rest.
Vel neither faint nor fear,
For the Saviour Christ is near.

If die, TO Him 20.
He'll not leave me, will trust Him,
And my heart no fear shall know.

Council Extend Invitation to Galveston
Deep Water Conference to Meet Here.
Without much discussion or enthusi-
asm the council passed a resolution ex-
tending an invitation to the deep water
convention of Galveston to meet in To-
peka to make preliminary arrangements
regarding the deep water exposition to
be held in Galveston in 1897. The reso-
luton was introduced by Mr.. Bradford
and read as follows:
"Resolved, That the city of Topeka
extend to the Deep Water Exposition
association an invitation to hold a deep
water conference in this city at such
time as may be designated. and that the
mayor appoint a committee of three. with
the mayor as chairman, TO confer with
the association"
The following telegram was then sent
to Galveston, signed by the committee
Mayor Fellows and Councilman Brad
ford, Skinner and Burgess:
"Clarence Ousley-The city of Topeka
extends invitation to exposition organiza-
ton to hold conference here"

CITY LEGISLATION.
Arrangements to Dispose of Dead
An1mals-Paveme Mending.
OTHER MATTERS OF MOMENT

In the Various City Department.
Notes and Items from the City Hall.
The dead animal ordinance created a
lively time at the meeting of the city
council last night
Mayor Fellows was away and SO was
Acting Mayor Fulton. In this event
Councilman Burgess was given the chair
as presiding officer.
the old ordinance was declared uncon-
sttutional last year by the supreme court
because it gave the mayor power to make
a contract with one person for the re-
mOval CT all dead animals, whether the
owner was able to have it moved with
out the aid of the city or not This
created an opportunity for monopoly in
the office.
The new ordinance was written by Mr..
Bradford, and was finally entitled San
ordinance relating to dead animals"
Part of it had been passed at pre-
vious meeting, and the ordinance was
taken up at section ..
DIR. Skinner arose and said he wanted
to ask a few questions, and he did. He
didn't want to make any body mad, he
said, bat he just wanted to know
In replying, Mr.. Bradford said: "The
supreme court has said that for the city
to give one person the exclusive right to
remove dead animals WAS to put re-
strictlon on trade. If owners of animals
were able to have them hauled away
they must be allowed to employ whom
they please, but we can contract with
any man to carry away animals that the
city must remove"
Mr. Bradford then moved to amend
the section by striking out the words,
'lowest possible rate" and inserting in
their stead sat lowest bid accepted by
the council" This WAS carried.
Ar. Skinner: 81 think it would be IN
wise to place the animal mans bond al
high as 81, 900 for it would have tend
ency to make the bids higher. l move
that the bond be placed at $500"
This carried after Dir. Bradford's ex-
PLANTATION that the work would not
amount to more than $500 during the
entire year.
In section six the matter of $50 license
brought Mr.. Skinner to his feet AGAR
asking that it be cut out as that toe
would have tendency to raise the bids
but when it came to g vote he was the
only one to vote against it.
Mr.. Skinner then varied the monotonJ
by arguing to impose a fine on :he poor
scavepger man. This was a decided
change of front but it lost as the city hac
already provided itself with thre,
cinches on the animal remover.
On the vote for the final passage OF tn,
ordinance Mr. Skinner voted against it

KIDNAPPED BY DAY.
Kansas City Young Woman Carried Off in
q Hack But is Released

KANSAS CITY. Mo, July 25-Miss Liz
zie Stephenson, pretty 10 year old wo-
man tells peculiar story of abduc-
ton on Central street. one of the prin-
cipal streets of the city, in broad daylight,
by two or three men in hack. She was
walking along Central street when she
was hustled into cab and taken to some
house and held in captivity until this
morning. She was not injured in any
way. but her clothing was torn and dis
arranged in her struggle to free herself
from her captors. No cause is known
for the abduction. The girls parents are
not wealthy snd therefore the expecta-
ton of a ransom could hardly be the
reason.

DRYEST TOWN IN KANSAS.
Made So by a Clever and Determined City
Attorney.


Attorney.
Sidney Hayden, the Democratic city
attorney of Holton who has closed every
joint in his town, was in Topeka last
evening. To a JOURNAL reporter he
told how he managed to close the joints,
and so far as known it is plan which
has not been attempted elsewhere.
at is true" Mr.. Hayden said, shat
there isn't joint in Holton. When l
was appointed the city attorney last
spring there were several, and the joint
lists were promptly arrested. OF course
they asked for the lightest fine possible
and promised TO quit selling if they were
let off easy. I made an agreement with
each one by which they were given the
minimum fines, and they as an evidence
of good faith gave me their United
States licenses to sell liquor and promised
not to get another.
THE iointists may disregard the ordi-
nances and state law but they have
holy terror of the government and they
wouldn't think of selling without a gov.
weeded out the licenses, and today there
isn't a government license in Holton and
consequently no joints. I find out from
Leavenworth every week whether there
have been any new licenses taken out or
! not When there are none | can rest
easy, knowing the government is jointly
interested with me in any violation OF
the law. A jointist knows that if he is
caught he is liable to prosecution moi

government. and the risk ia too great"

FIXED AT LAST.

The Vehicle Ordinance Lets Bicycles
Run Ten Miles.
The new vehicle ordinance went
through, though Mr.. Bradford said after
he voted for it that he looked for trouble
because of the distinction it made in the
speed of different vehicles. According
to it's terms bicycles and tricycles will be
allowed to run ten miles hour and
will carry lights or bells at night, and
drawn vehicles will be allowed to run
only six miles an hour.
