KICKS AND KICK Frs
A Silly Lamsntation on the Subject
Of Premium Stamps. The Mutual
Benefit Supply Company Has a
Word to Say in The Matter.

In Sunday mornings paper kick
appeared, written by kicker" 1t is
surprising to see how many kickers
there are in this world. Some of them
are high "kickers," others low kick
ers.' Some reach to such distance
below the average kickers that Satan
can feel one of their feet Kicking up
the e.nbers in his domain, and how
proud he must feel when he hears how
these few Premium Stamp "kickers"
can lie, and what ignoramuses they
sometimes prove to be.
In this instance we not alone find
ignoramical ideas, but that this par
ticular kicker has kicked so much in
his life that he has kicked all his
brains away. Consequently he is not
able to figure percentage. In regard
to the public not getting sufficient of
value for the Premium Stamps, we
would say we have heard no kick from
the .stamp-colleeting public. The goods
are here for inspection. Everyone SO
far has expressed satisfaction except
d few 'lSickers,' who would rather have
some one save Premium Stamps
and give to them than to take
the trouble to save them themselves.
AS this above mentioned kicker"
has already kicked" away all his
his brains, we hops he viii discontinue
kicking" or he may wake up some
morning and find that he has kicked"
one of his legs off. We will then have
to lay in stock of crutches to be given
away with Premium Stamps. 1t is very
curious the kicker" being so interest
ed in the publics welfare, swould not
disclose his name. We do not wonder
after so foolish an argument

REFORMATION DAY.
The Anniversary Appropriately Celebrated
in the Local Churches-Sermon by Rev
Samuel Schwarm

The Anniversary appropriately Celebrated
in the Local Churches-Sermon by Rev
Samuel Schwarm.
Yesterday was Reformation Day in
the Lutheran churches and the anniver-
sary was observed in all the English
and German Lutheran churches of the
city. At the English Lutheran Church
Rev. Samuel Schwarm, the pastor,
preached in the morning on the effect
of Martin Luther's life upon civil and
religious liberty. In the evening he
preached upon Luther and the Bible"
He stated that Luther never saw a
whole copy of the Bible uptil he was
twenty years Of age, when he was ready
to graduate from the ministry. Luther
was of religious nature.
After finding the Bible Unexpectedly
one day in the library of the univer-
sity he pushed aside the philosophical
studies by Aristotle and others and
substituted the Bible. Luther read in
the Bible of the holiness of God and his
own sinfulness AS Luther had former
ly thirsted for knowledge he began to
seek after righteousness by number
of providential visitations. While he
had gotten knowledge from the univer-
sity, he did not know where to get
spiritual rest for his soul. While still
enthralled by papacy he entered mon
astery and endeavored to find spiritual
relief by doing extreme penance and
subjecting himself TO numerous humil-
iations, yet he found that his heart had
not changed. He finally discovered the
light, that man s salvation cannot be
secured by monasteries, by penance or
anything that man can do, but by hav-
ing his sins forgiven by Jesus Christ,
and that the just live by faith.
The discovery of the corruptness of
the church at Rome by Luther, his
translating of the New and Old Tes-
taments into the German tongue, his
accommodation from the church, and
some of the events that led up to the
Reformation, were impressively de-
scribed. Rev. Mr.. Schwarm says that
there had been men in the world as
great as Martin Luther, for Melanch-
ton, Lutherans co-worker, was proba-
bly, more scholarly and Calvin more
logical. vet Luther's wonderful success
and greatness was due to the fact that
he had placed himself entirely upon
the Bible and made it his rule of life
and practice.
Yesterday special services commem-
orative Of the anniversary of the Ref
ormation were held at the Zion German
Lutheran Church, on South Market
street. The pastor, Rev. p. ]. Hob,
was assisted last evening by his brother
pastors from Benwood, Bridgeport and
Martins Ferry.

present popular pastor, Rev. W. G. III
fert made few Introductory remarks
and welcomed the old pastors.

of McKeesport, Pa, delivered the prin-
cipal sermon. Addresses were made

and beautifully decorated with potted
plants and flowers for the occasion.

Nineteen new men TO take the strik-

The procession from the depot, at the
corner of Uniop and Thirty first streets,
to the works was made without any
delay or disturbance, as the hour was
early and few people were on the
streets. This additional force together
with those who arrived last week, and
the blast furnace and plate mill en-

able hands at the plant. This force
while insufficient to run the blast fur

reported would be taken, is more than
sufficient to run the steel plant double
turn, which requires about seyenty-five
men.
1t is likely that the mill Will attempt
to work the steel plant double turn

work in the plate mill and blast fur
mace, it is altogether improbable that
the attempt will be made for some tine.

THE RIVER MARKS.
An Explanation of the Telegraphic Reports
of Stage Here.

The present low stage of water in the
Ohio river has brought about a peculiar
situation here, and the accuracy of the
Geographic reports of the stage at Wheel
ing has been called into question. 1t APP
pears that ten inches has been added TO
the actual stage as indicated by the marks
on the landing. whenever the stage in UNI
der three feet.
The explanation is made by Capt John
Crockard, who states that all the river
men take the stage at McAlechen, where
the facilities for securing IL accurately
are much better than at the Wheeling
wharf. The bed of the river at McAiechen
is solid rock, seldom covered with sand or
mud. while the river bed at Wheeling is
covered with sand to depth estimated
at about ten inches, hence the change in
the figures. The adding of ten inches
brings the stage 10 q poins which is APP
proximately accurate.

ssALABAMA'' AN OLD STORY.
A Light Attendance Shows That
Nearly Every One Has Sean 1t
Before.

That Topeka theater goers tire OF
performance after it's second or third
appearance was attested by the small
audience that greeted Alabama" at
the Grand Opera House last night.
Alabama" is a pretty play, but it has
been before the public long enough to
now show signs of wearing out.
The merit of the performance last
night was considerably n2rred by the
fact that two new members of the com
pany appeared for the first time in the
characters of Mrs. Armstrong and Ray
mond Page.
Yesterday morning Mr.. James Shae
and Mr.. Charles Haney joined the
company in this city, and after but one
rehearsal yesterday afternoon went on
last night. Considering the circumstan-
ces, Shae's work as Mr.. Armstrong was
fair, but that of Haney as Raymond
Page a dismal failure.
With the exception of the two new
members and Miss Ethel Irving, who
succeeded Miss Lottie. Bowes as Carey
Preston, the company was the same
that played here last year. Miss Irving
is the young lady who scored such a
success in London several years ago
as Lydia in Henry j. Leslie's opera.

in public favor in that city to Marie

appeared on the stage he was greeted
