son desiring to inspect can call and do

hog has become inbred too much, and

other breed which is recognized for its
strength and hardy condition.

One of the best sermons it has been
the pleasure of the writer to hear for
many . day wa that delivered in this
city by Prof. Jahnathan Rowley Of Yer
million, who last Sunday evening occu-
pied the pulpit in the Baptist church
owing to the absence OF Rev. Cofey.
Only q few notes rel taken, and rely
ing on our memory, We may not do
MI. Rowley justice q q good many
stance of his address WA Is follows:
After reading a portion OF the 9Th
chapter of John, setting forth and en-
phasizing the promises OF everlasting
life to those who endeavOr to walk in
the proper pathway, Mr.. R0wley de-
livered q prayer cOntaining words Of
comfort to those who sorrow, for, a.
the speaker said, I'VE mourn NOT
without hope, but put our trust and
confidence in Him who promised life
eternal"

ed a. . text, and the remarks all
through the address showed c0nclu-
sively the strength and truth of the
words used q q subject Of the sermon.

said the speaker, fallen from heights
above, the mountain parted by some
wonderful conulsi0n Of nature, the
imaginary condition Of the planet

troll. and the soul drifting farther and
farther away from God each day, moth
ing but the power Of the Divine Ruler
can restore them to place. To the
wandering ones the voice Of Christ

A letter received from D. MAY Miller,
who Is now In Chicago, says: II have
taken my first lesson from Emil Leib-
ling, and he is perfectly grand, and q
master of the piano. He found no fault
whatever in my playing, and said had
had good teachers, and spoke highly Of
my expression and technique. He Is
going away the middle of July to re-
main until the last Of August, and then

the Auditorium conservatory, where
she takes lessons she says: "Pader-

his last two concerts that Chicago
could boast of one Of the finest concert
halls in tho world, and that was In the

Evidently the Ponca base ball play
ere were not satisfied with their treat
ment In this city at the recent game of
base ball. The P0nca Journal thus
comments on their defeat: 1.-THE base
ball boys Of this place went over to
Elk Point last Friday, and YER de-
feated In q game with the club there by
q score Of III 70 8. The POnca boys
claim they not treated a. courte-
Ously in Elk Point, q they treated the
latter's club In Ponca. While engaged
In the game they say they were made
the objects Of derisive remarks and
shouts from some Of the spectators.
Those who acted with courtesy, and
there E many Of Thorn who did, were
unwise in not muzzling the shallow
pated individuals who evidently did
not know how to be respectful and de-
cent. A friendly game Of ball ought TO
be entirely void Of boots from sympe-
thizers for either side. Vfaitors should
be given the most respectful treatment
rather than made the targets for spite

practice TO invite an outside club to
visit q town, and then permit . lot Of

brains TO heap insults upon the visitors.
We would advise the POnca boys 10 re-
fuse 10 engage In . game when they
are made the victims OF &buso from
spectators, and to enforce = rule ia
protect all visiting clubs 10 their
grounds against the vapOrings Of loud

Mrs. C. F.. Mallahan, of Madelia.
Mimi, was in the city between trains
last Monday visiting with friends.
Sometime ago Mrs. Mallahan was
called to Armour on account of the I'LL
ness OF her father. After remainining
at Armour for several weeks the old
gentleman fully recovered. He 10 70
years of age, and his illness was of such
. serious nature that his recovery is .
little short Of q miracle. With regard
to the family, Miss Mabel is bookkeeper
for q large Touring mill at Madelia,
while June helps her father In the
printing Office. The rest OF the child
rem are at school. Mrs. Mallahan's
visit was highly enjoyed, and she was
accompanied to the train by a large
number, all Of whom hoped she might
come back and enjoy q longer visit.
On Monday Charles Millage Of Sioux
Valley was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Reynick on the charge Of attempted
rape, preferred by VIM. Ogden. Ac-
c0rding to the story of Ogden-who
signed the complaint before Squire
Smythe-his wife, Mary Ogden, one
day last week was passing through
Villages corn field to deliver q mack
age.of potatoes TO Mrs. Millage. In the
corn field Mrs. Ogden met Millage, and
it is claimed he made some sort OF an
assault. Millage denies the whole
matter In totO-claiming that the
charge Is spite work. The states at
torney is inclined to the idea that the
absolute facts wera not as flrst repre-
sented to him and that Mr.. Millage was
not guilty of the charge made In the
complaint. He was brought to the city
on Tuesday, and permitted to 20 on
his own recognizance until Wednesday
when he was discharged.
