Boys Start a Big Fire.

CHILLICoTHE, o., Sept. 23.-The village
of Bainbridge was the scene Of disas-
trous conflagrstion this afternoon. An
entire square containing most of the

handsome residences and the Methodist
church was entirely destroyed and two
prominent men lost their lives in an ex-
plosion which occurred in the drug store
of w. =. Beardsley.
The fire was started in barn in the
rear of Peril Browns general store by
two little boys who were playing with
matches.

Women Cheer Lynehsrs.

HAwEsvILLE, KY, Sept 2d-Rsymond
Bushrod, the negro who assaulted Mag
gle Roberts, IA years old, near Petri yes
terday. beat her with an iron coupling pin
and left her on the railroad grade TO die.
was lynched here this afternoon. After
he had committed the crime he made an
attempt TO cross the river into Indiana
at Tell City. but every boat for - miles
was watched. He was captured at Full
ton, four miles from Petri, by four men,
who brought him 10 Hawesville and sur
rendered him to the jailer. The officers
heard that a mob was in search of the ne
gro and hid him i'm a graveyard till morn
ing. when he was taken to thejail. Early
this morning 500 people gathered in town.
and as the rumor was started that militia
had been summoned sentries were placed
on the hill TO give warning of their ap-
preach. In the afternoon the mob was
made TO believe that Bushrod had es-
capped, and most of the crowd started to
pursue him. But a few of the mob were
left on guard at the jail, and they disoov-
cred an attempt of the officers to take
him away. The majority ofthe lynchers
we're quickly summoned back and Bush
rod was violently torn from the officers.
At 5 o'clock he was marched to the
court house square and swung TO the limb
of a big tree. He was allowed the oppor-
tunity to confess and offer prayer. The
county officials did what they could for
the prisoners protection, but public
opinion was too well defined. Judge
Adair advised with Circuit Judge Owen
by telephone, but nothing practical came
of it. After the lynching the mob's
leader, an Indiana man, made a little
talk, in which he pointed TO the corpse,
saying: Here's the protection we offer
our wives and daughters"
During the lynching not less than 200
women were on the hill overlooking the
public square and when the negro's form
went up cheers upon top of cheers from
them rent the air. In fact, the women
gave double reinsurance to the ones en-
gagged that the proper punishment was
being meted out. In the march to the
place oflynching it was almost impossible
TO prevent his being killed by infuriated
men. Twice was Bushrod knocked down
and it is believed by some that he was
unconscious when strung up.
Coroner Mitchell summoned jury
which returned a verdict that Bushrod

abandoned in explaining in low tones
as Speaker Reed puts it, why wheat
and silver have parted company.

CHAIRMAN Jones sends word TO the
East that the Chicago platform still
stands for itself. This seems rather 8
remarkable statement, particularly in
view of the general opinion that that
thoroughly vicious and dangerous doc
ument was not now standing at all.
Repudiated by the people, denounced
by very large part of the Democracy
Of the country, most people were of the
opinion that what remained of that
platform had well nigh fallen to pieces,
and left nothing behind it but a wreck
and an unhappy memory.

REpoRTs from all sections of the cour

REPORTS from all sections of the coun-
try show that the agricultural fairs and
exhibitions have been unusually sue
cessful, and that the attendance has
been away above the average. Nor is
the explanation hard to find. The
farmers feel in good humor-feel as if
they could afford to take little holi-
day and enjoy themselves in the way
that suits them best. This has been a
great year for them-a year that has
gone far beyond their anticipations-
a year that has truly proven a golden
one for the agricultural interests of the
whole country.

The Shakers have made great hit.
Digestive Cordial is said to be the
most successful remedy for stomach
trouble ever introduced. It immedi-
lately relieves all pain and distress af
ter eating, builds up the feeble system
aud makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
Cordial not only contains food already
digested, but is q digester of other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good. People who
use the Cordial insure the digestion of
what food they eat and in this way
get the benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent druggists for free
free distribution, contain much inter-
esting information on the subject Of
dyspepsia.
Laxol is not mixture of drugs. It
is nothing but Castor Oil made palat-
able.

$1,000 FOR CRETANS.
w. G. T. US Noble Work For the
Suffering Christians.

The w. G. T. U. met at the ueual
hour last Thursday afternoon. After
the opening devotional service, new
and interesting feature of the meet
ings was taken up the giving of news
items of W. G. T. U. work at large, in
response to roll call. The interest
this week seemed to center around the
Armenian work. Lady Henry Somer-
set, whose name will always be q
loved household word among these
people, has with Miss Wizards con-
sent appropriated fifteen hundred dol
lars of the w. G. T. U. Armenian
fund toward sending nurses to the
suffering, Cretans. The Maine and
Massachusetts, w. G. T. U. have found
homes and become personally respon-
sible to the government for many of
the refugees. Rebecca Kirkorian, an
educated Armenian lady, whose fami-
~ have suffered in all the horrors of
the cruel massacre, is now lecturing
for the benefit of her people. At the
National W. G. T. U. convention last
fall, she declared, "The only way we
can revenge ourselves for the wrongs
we have suffered is to Christianize the
Turks" and she has consecrated her
self to go out as missionary to the
murderers of her people. Lady
Somerset will come to America early
in June and will be Miss Wizards
guest the rest of the summer.

JONES ON EASTER.

In his remarks upon Easter Day at
the Methodist church on Easter Sum
day, Rev, T. A. Jones, stated among
other things:
It is doubtsul if in the worlds lit.
erature you can find another sentence
that means SO much to the race as
does this one: "The Lord is risen in
deed" The birth Of Jesus was q
glorious announcement, but it's glory
depended upon the resurrection, other
wise it would have been forgotten.
That celebrated sentence Eye must be
born again" called the door to heaven,
would not swing open were it not
hung on this fact the resurrection.
Our text then, is the hinge that makes
it possible for the door of heaven to
swing open for men to enter.
If any think that its importance is
over estimated, compare another SEN
teDce like it.
The peculiar condition of the desci-
pies can scarcely be imagined while
their Lord lay in the tomb. All their
hopes were conferred in Christ, and
now both lie in the rock-hewn sepul-
chre, the mouth of which is covered
by a stone, and sealed with the seal of
imperial Rome, while armed soldiers
guard it. Despondent, discouraged,
despised and grief-stricken they mourn
the fearful catastrophe that has fallen
upon them. But the magic of our
text dispels all this, and stronger
faith, brighter hopes and deeper joy
is the result - ..S.,' ..s
But this resurrection text is the
property of the race. Paul says that
Christ is "The first fruits of them
that slept" His mind no doubt is
upon that old levitical custom which
made it the duty of every husband
man who possessed ripe field of
grain to cut one sheaf which was pre-
sented to the priest at the temple as
the first fruit offering unto the Lord.
This the priest took from the hand of
the donor upon the Sabbath and on
the morn that is upon our resurrection
day or Sabbath, waved it before the
Lord. Now two lessons were taught
in this symbol. First, the waving de-
noted life, second, the fact of this
sheaf having been reaped was an evil
dence that the whole field should be
gathered in. So in Christ's resurrect-
ion there is life eternal and because
he is risen we shall also arise.
All our hopes Of eternal life depends
upon Christ. We instinctively shrink
from death, that dark and shadowy
land ruled over by the "King of ter
rors" who stands at it's portals ready
to convert into chaos everything that
accident, disease and time crowds to
his gate. The dearest treasures of a
parents heart are consigned to his
cruel hand, the most sacred ties are
ruthlessly torn asunder by this relent-
less monster who never felt a culver
of pain, or saw a tear drop, or heard
shrek of anguish from sorrow strick-
en- heart. It is surely good to know
that Christ, the peoples champion,
has dethroned this king of Terrors,'
destroyed his domain, and robbed him
of victory. On this Easter morning
we sing his praise, we chant his name,
we proclaim to mon everywhere the
wonderful achievement that brought
immortality and life to light through
the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.

THE FOUR SEASONS,
As Viewed by the Doctor, Rather
Than the Artist.

We often see in the magazines re-
productions of. famous paintings rep
resenting the Four Seasons. They
are generally personated by beautiful
women, and the typical spring is gen
orally young girl. She is bouyant
and elastic, her eyes are full of fire,
her form lissom and graceful. Her
cheeks flush with health and there
breathes from the canvas the impress
sion of radiant health.
It is true, we sometimes see our
young women in such state of health
in the spring time; but it is the ex-
ception. Depression and languor are
generally in evidence and the droop-
ing, listless figure of the school girl,
the dragging step of the housewife
are seen in nearly every home. Per-
feet health is rare in any season, but
this is especially so in the spring. The
great majority of the people need a
tonic in the spring. There are great
many tonics and they are all taken by
the people to greater or less extent.
But the one that seems most popular
at this time of the year is Pe-ru-na. It
strengthens the weary body, invigor-
ates the nerves and clears the mind.
It leaves no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn when it is discontinued. The fact
of the efficacy of ,Pe-ru-na as spring
tonic is becoming more widely known
every spring. More Pe-ru-na is being
taken this spring than ever before
The people have learned that it is un-
failing, and so do not experiment, but
Immediately buy Pe-ru-na when the
old listlessness of "spring fever" over
takes them.

CLICKS WORK,
Finds Key, UnloCks a Box and
Delivers a Letter.

Prof. Click and two clever Japanese
gave entertainments at the opera
house during the last four nights of
last week-Prof. Click as hypnotist
and the two Japanese in as clever con-
tortion and juggling feats as has ever
been seen in Redwood Falls even
superior to the jugglers of the large
circuses that have visited here.
Mind-reading is now considered
nothing but human telegraphy-a
very nervous person being able to I'M
derstand, by human telegraphy, the
thoughts and actions of another per-
son of young or nervous temperament.
Hence, while Click was phenomenon
to the children, the older and less
skeptical we're not surprised at some
of his feats, after catching glimpse
of his physique.
His street performance on Thursday
was excellent-almost as good as the
exhibition given by Paul Alexander
tombstone at this point some years
ago. To relate-a committee consist
ing of Emil Kuenzli and Armanus
Moon drove around town, hid bunch
of keys in Aune & Thune's store, and
placed letter in Kuenzli & Luscher's
box in the postoffce. This letter was
addressed to G.. E. Mckay. Clicks
work was to go over the same route,
find the keys, pick out the postoffice
key, get the letter and deliver it to
Mr.. Mckay, wherever he happened to
be. AS soon as the committee re-
turned from its hiding tour Click,
heavily blinded, ordered Mr.. Kuenzli
to take hold of his arm. Like rocket
he jumped into the wagon, Mr.. Kuenz-
Ii holding on to him and the commit,
tee following. He applied the whip
to the horses, and on the dead jump
drove them over the same course TAX

Aune & Thune's he ordered stop
jumped out of the wagon. rushed in
and took the keys from their hiding
place in the safe and made for the
posto&ce. But Mr.. Kuenzli's mind
was on the millinery store at first, &C.
cording to Click and Click made q
detour of that store before he found
out that it was not the postoMce. Then
he rushed into the P.O. Here he had
to pick his key. Mr.. Kuenzli's mind
was on the fire department key TO,
fully three minutes. Then it changed
and Click got the right key. Next he
placed it into the proper lock, opened
the same, seized the letter and rushed
for Ackmann's grocery where he de.
