Logan.
The reception accorded Hon. W
A. Reeder by the cihzens of Logan
on his return from Beloit where hC
had received the nomination for con
gresham from the sixth district was
a very pleasant affair. As the train
bearing our distinguished townsmsn
rolled up to the station the platform
was lined with a large assemblaRe who
had gathered to extend him greeting
Prominent business men were there
young ladies and matronly danes ar
rsyOd in their best gave interest to
the occasion. Young America with
wide open eyes had met to gaze upon
the man thus honored. To the victor
in the hard won fight the scene was
most gratifying. 1t was direct con.
tradiction Of the aphorism "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country" Amid smiles and congrat
ulstions Mr.. Reeder was conducted
to carriage IN waiting and accom-.
panied by several delegates the large
procession preceded by the Logan
brass band moved through the princi-
psi part Of the city; arriving at the
Hotel Becker halt was called. In q
brief speech Mr.. Rseder extended his
thanks for the expression of good
feeling and regard. The whole dem
onstration was impromptu and would
have been more elaborate had preps-
rations been first made. 1t was an
expression of the esteem and respect
with which the candidates is consid-
cred by his fellow citizens and augers
we'll for the future.
j. w. Farrell, who has been station
agent at Logan for q number of years,
has been relieved and Percy Briggs,
a young man from Lenors, has taken
his position. The occasion for the
change was the mjsquoting of a single
word in a telegram. A petition en-
tlrely unsolicited by Mr., Farrell and
signed by all our business men was
at once sent to headquarters for his
restoration and his many friends have
hopes that his suspension is but tenn
porary.
Quarterly meeting was held by Rev,
J. ii. Lockwood d ID. as presiding
elder. ASIDE from the regular rou-
tine of business, the presence Of the
presiding elder who has been so long
In the ministry occupying important
positions including that of diatrict
sup >rintendent of the American Bible
Society, was inspiring. The affairs
of the church were found to be in a
satisfactory condition.
Kansas people are migratory, and

A sad case of drowning occurred
last Sunday week whereby young
man II years or age lost his life. The
deceased was a nephew of Jacob
Schlck, living some three miles north
of town, and accidently got in beyond
his depths though the water in the
pond was shallow elsewhere The
family being absent from home the
body was in the water two hours be-

Rev. r, Arthur the supply at the
Presbyterian church has his time fully
occupied. He has preaching points
at Rockport and Portage school house
in Rocks and at the Meyer school
house, Pleasant Ridge and Logan in
Phillips county. Rev. Arthur is an
untirng worker and should see good
results from his lsbors.
E1The social given by the Y. P. S. @.
E. was very enjoyable. Only say the
word and Logan always comes to the
front. The assembly was large and
the exercises entertaining. Though
designed for the younger portion of
society there was a liberal sprlnkling
of those of maturer years. Delicious
edihles constituted an essential part
of the program. This, together with
the generous outflow of good feeling,
contributed to render the occasion one
of pleasant membranes.
