town today told OF the women stopping
at their houses, waking them up and
wanted to hire a team to drive them
on their way, stating they were going
to see sick friend. One of the women
was a cripple and could not make much
progress. Thursday morning a rail
road man named Fulton, who was also
stopping at the Sanborn, missed $50
from his clothes, which he had in his
possession when he left Sanborn the
day before, but he wasn't sure that the
colored fortune telle,s had his money
or whether he had lost it or somebody
else had held him up. Anyway his $50
was gone, and from the sudden disap-
pearance of the colored women there
is some reason to believe that they got
away with the money.

Rev. f.. IL. Teall. Pastor. of the Baptist
Church. Tenders His Resignation.
Wednesday evening the mem bers of
the Baptist church met for their regu-
lar weekly prayer meeting and which
was also their regular monthly business
meeting. After the devotional exer
cses were over with Rev. MIR. Teall
made an announcement to the members
which came in the form OF surprise to
some, while others had an intimation
of what WAS coming. Mr.. Teall stated
that it was. his desire to resign as
castor Of the church and that his re-
signalion would take effect the last
Sunday in March He stated that he
realized that it was q difficult matter
for the church to maintain the en-
penses Of the church during the pres
sure OF the hard times. His pastoral
relations with the church had been Of
very pleasant nature and for that
reason he was sorry to sever hlsconnec-
tion with the society. The members
alter some conference decided to accept
Mr. Teall's resignation, but they did so
with considerable reluctance. Mr..
Teal came to the Mitchell Baptist
church nearly four years ago and at a
time when the society was not in q
very thriving condition Mr.. Teall.
with the assistance OF his capable wife,
took hold Of the work with a strong
determination to build up the church.
At that time the Sunday School had an
average attendance OF about 60 and at
present the number enrolled is about
225, while large gains have been made
in the membership Of the church.
About three weeks ago Mir. Teal was
invited to Mcpherson. Kan, to deliver
sermons and consider the subject OF a
call to the pastoratc Of the Baptist
church Of that city. His work evid-
entity gave such satisfaction that the
church gave him unanimous call, and
which he accepted. Mcpherson is a
city OF about 1000 inhabitants and the
church there is better able to pay MIR.
TEAL much larger salary than the
society in this city. A church COM
mittee was appointed at the meeting
and it is probable that a new pastor
will! be secured. With the departure
of Mr. Teall there will be but three
churches in the city With regular pas
tors-the Methodist. Episcopal and
Catholic.

Opera House Possibilities.

A letter from Jos. l.. Scheuer, of
the new owner of the Koch
property, states that he is having plans
drawn of the interior of the building
with reference to converting the same
into an opera house and as soon as
completed will send them here to be
inspected. At the same time Mr..
Scheuer will make his proposition to
the citizens on what terms he will
make his improvements and assures
the people that he will fit out the opera
house so that it will be credit to the
city and equal anything OF the kind in
the northwest. that is in towns Of this
size. The probabilities are that Mitch
ell is nearer the idea of securing an
opera house than at any time since the
rink burned and if Mr.. Scheuer re
ceives the encouragement necessary he
will make his improvements.

to say:
The success OF the Newport News
Shipbufiding Company shows what can
be done In that line In the South. In
the DAYS of wooden ships Maine was
the centre of shipbuilding activity In
this country. The forests of Maine
have been nearly exhausted. Since iron
has to a greaa extent succeeded wood
in the construction of ships. Philadel-
phfa has become u great shipbuildinE
potnt. The industry has again moved
Southwark. and acquired footing In
Virginia The next move will be to
the Gulf coast between Pensacola and
New Orleans. where timber and iron
are more accessible than anywhere else
on the continent"
Time was when Maine was the centre
Of shipbuilding, but. like many other in
dustries, that. too is coming South. All
the South needs In this direction Is q
little encouragement. and Virginia Is
the place in which to demonstrate what
can be done by Southern worltmen and
Southern enterprise.

AN OPEN LETTER.

a correspondent, writing the New
York Sun, says:
Let me ask you, the President and
Cabinet and members OF Congress, what
have you been doing since the morning
of the 18th of December. 1895, when you
threw Your gage of war in the teeth OF
the strongest nation on earth? Have
you PASSED Il single bill granting money
for forticationS ut any seaport OF this
United states? Have you ordered the
making of 4 single gun or THE building
of 4 single war ship? Have you added
n single soldier to our tiny army? Have
you done anything else than talk, talk ."
This correspondent evidently believes
in preparing for what may come, and
while very little has been done in the
direction complained off, yet he does
not seem to have kept up with current
events.
The President ami Cabinet should
not be blamed for not doing things
which can only be ordered by Con-
Sress. But. as a matter of fact. we are
building war ships-not as many as we
should TO be sure-and the gun facto-
ries have been put to work. In time
more ships will be built, more guns man
ufactured, and an adequate number OF
men enlisted. Under the circumstances
all that the correspondent can do is
10 possess his soul in patience.

Strobe lordling from his palace
On the hillside's stately crest,
Pacing downward to the valleys
In cnjoyment's idle quest,
But the breeze about him blowing
Seemed to mUrmur on his track,
"Ah. the road that s down hill going
Will be up hill coming back
Tripped n maiden to the fountain
From her cottage in the vale,
Stepping boldly up the mountain
With her empty water pail,
And mcthought the brooklct flowing
Whispered ever on her track,
ooh. the road that's up hill going
Will be down hill coming back"
And u lesson did borrow,
AS of some chance opened hook.
