THREE BARNS BURNED.
An Mysterious Fire That Caused Con.
siderable Excitement.

About 200 Tuesday 3. m. fire broke
out in the horse stall Of c. M. Har.
gers barn on West Third. The
horses kicking and plunging aroused
the family and neighbors, The owner
was the first one in the barn which
was locked and closed as usual. He
found the bedding and hay around the
horse on fire and with some difficulty
got the animal out. She. is badly
burned and may have to be killed.
There was no other fire except that in
the stall but that was burning iercely.
An open window opening on the alley
was in the rear OF the horse and every
indication points to an incendiary
having thrown a match through it
into the stall. By the time the horse
was removed the flames were in the
hay loft and only time remained to
save the phaeton and harness.
The fire spread to the barn on the
adjoining lot, the Parker place, occu-
pied by C. H. Pattison. From this
the horse, COW, carriages and har-
nesses were saved.
Both these barns were partially
burned about = year ago, the fire that
time starting from another barn
across the alley that was burned by
boys playing with matches and cigar.
cites.
From the barns named above the
barn on Edward Shadinger's lot, d.
rectly south sDeoss the alley, caught
fire and was, like the others, totally
destroyed. Upon this there was no
insurance. The Others were partially
insured.
The intense heat set fire to the Pat.
tison, Shadinger and Harger dwellings
and to John Johntz's barn but the
arrival Of the fire department speedily
extinguished these flames. There
was no wind and to this fact is prob
ably due the salvation OF the houses.
The firemen did splendid work and
deserve much praise for their efforts.
While 1t seems beyond credence
that anyone would be SO mean as to
start fire in 8 horses stall or burn q
barn out Of pure malevolence, scarcely
any other explanation, owing to the
conditions as they existed and to the
course Of events, can be made for the
fire. The loft Of the Harger barn was
filled with new hay making it poor
place for tramp to sleep had one
been SO inclined, while the locked
doors and the fire in the single stall
showed that the blaze started shere.
The only other plausible theory is
that matches might have been in the
hay and were ignited by the horses
feet.
QUICK INSURANCE ADJUSTMENT.
The Wyandt insurance agency was
first to adjust the loss. G. c. Wyandt
and A. M. Moore, adjuster for the
Shawnee, were on the ground before
the fire was out. By 10 a. m. today
the loss on c. M. Harger's house was
adjusted, the Shawnee's portion paid
and proofs Of loss forwarded to the
other companies represented for i'm
mediate payment. 1t is that prompt
and businesslike manner Of doing
business that makes Mr.. Wyandt's
agency so deservedly popular.

THE RULING PASSION.

Some sing the praises Of loves young dream
When things which are and the things which
seem
Glide as one 6Cwn youths golden stream,
And the song birds wake lis early,
When ones heart is fresh with the morning
dew,
When hopes are many and cares are few,
When life is flushed with "A rosy hue
And ones hair IL crisp and curly.
Some say It's sweetest when love comes late,
When the strings Of grief and tliorns of fate
The weary battle of grief and hate
Make Hfe's great good the stronger;
The Indian summer in regal dyes
Close to the heart Of the sunset lies,
The last glad smile Of the year we prize
And wish each moment longer.
But, ah, there only remains the truth
That love is love, be II age or youth;
That love is love, and in very sooth
OF every soul his master
For love is love, come he soon or late,
And love alone Is the lord Of fate.
Deride him, chide him, the god is great,
And he heeds not priest nor pastorl

THE DAY WE GATHERED eoLDeNRoD.
day OF glancing arrow points,

A day Of glancing arrow points,
Yet swathed in shadows, olive deep,
When curling leaves were shaken down
And drifted in a pungent heap,
When scarlet flowers fell asleep,
Each in fllny pillow pod,
And all the world was half adream-
The day we gathered goldenrod
So still the air, in passing by
A rick Of gathered corn we henrd
A harvest spiders startled flight
Wherein yellow blade was stirred.
Some late and LINGERING autumn bird
Sang low, his lazy head anod.
No haste nor harshnesS seemed to mar
The day we gathered goldenrod.
Wild brambles traied thorny web.
The sumach's lighthouse lowered high,
And damson plums made purple spots
In orchards that we wandered by.
A light was in the autumn sky,
A warmth was in the autumn sod,
Deep autumn turquoise tipped the heights,
The day we gathered goldenrOd.
Our ways have somehow slipped apart
Since then, and you would think II
strange
The trihes of one idle day
Arise through every bitter change
And follow me in life's wide range.
To me perhaps it seems as odd
That time will never let me lose
The day we gathered goldenrod.

WATER VALLEY.

WATER VALLEY, July 3l.-The series
of meetings conducted at the Metho
dist church in our village closed on last
Friday afternoon. Saturday and SUI
day quarterly meeting was held BY
Rev. Curry, Of Franklin. A very large
congregation was in attendance on
Sunday. Bro. Curry's subject for that
day was, "Christian Home Life" He
handled his subject we'll, and we trust
that many homes will be happier on
account of that sermon, for happy
christian home is indeed a haven of
rest. On Monday morning Rev. Eu-
bank, of the NeapOlis circuit, arrived.
Bro. Curry remained with us until
Wednesday afternoon, preaching every
morning at IL O'Clock, and Bro. Fubank
in the afternoon at 2 O'clock, and it was
indeed a feast to the soul to listen to the
sermons preached by these two men of
God. Although the weather was very
bad, good crowds were in attendance
every day. Dinner was spread on the
ground each day, no night service be-
ditions TO the church, we believe that
the meeting did great deal OF good :,
the church being revived, its membe
drawn closer together in the bonds of
love. AS the choir sang the parting
song, "God be With You Till We
Meet Again." we believe in every
ones heart was the thought that the
week had been well spent. Revs. Curry
and Eubank sowed the good seed; some
others will do the reaping.

yesterday. We trust many souls may
be converted during this weeks meet

Branch of Service Regarding Which bot
Little Is Known.
Beyond the main fact that clergyman
is always to be found on board a Dan-of-
war the public knows hardly anything of
chaplains in the navy This is not due,
however, TO the uniiEportance of the CORPS
At present every chaplain, with single
exception, Is actively employed either on a
man of war OF at an important shore sta
ton. The secretary Of the navy declares
that the work of chaplain is very highly
appreciated on shipboard by most Of the
commanding officers and that the moral
effect of their influence upon the men Is
noticeably good. There are but "a chap
lains In the entire service and acquaiDt-
aDce with the personnel Of the corps leads
one to believe that the standard OF fitness
has been kept high by the appointing
power. The regulations require that an
applicant as chaplain be between the ages
of 81 and % years and minister in good
standing in his denomination. In sddi-
ton to these qualifications practice requires
the hearty and unequivOcal Endorsement
of high ecclesiastical authorities, who are
willing to assume good degree Of moral
responsibility for the appointment. Po-
litical influence of high order may be
used to bring the applicant to the atten-
ton of the president and secretary Of the
navy, but can avail very little beyond this,
The chaplain, oDcs appointed, ranks as a
commissioned officer of the staff messes in
the wardroom when on shipboard and is
entitled to a private stateroom in the
wardroom quarters
He wears no uniform and in this Is the
solO RECEPTION to tie rule which obtains
Oh all the shirs of our navy and applies to
oil officers and enlisted men, from the ad
miral of the fleet to the humblest mess at
tendant. Nothing inviGious Is involved
in this discrimination, and it is to be pre-
sumed that If "a majority of the chaplains
were to ask for u uniform it would be
granted. The chaplains as a rule dress In
ordinary clerical suits, the coats close but
toned, and in blouse or frock, according to
circumstances. In conducting divine serv-
ice each chaplain Is permitted to employ
the order used in his own denomination
and may also use the vestments Of his
church, If any.-Chicago Chronicle.
