JUDGE GARD A THIEF.
Witness Proves that Police Judge
Stole Confessed.

A sensation WAS sprung i'm police
court Monday when man, q
stranger in town, marched in and
proved that the Police Judge of the
city, the man who holds the lash of
justice over the heads Of criminals,
had stolen hog. The Mayor took
the chair and the others present acted
as jury and the judge was tried and
found guilty.
Marshal Ralston, Of Chanute, was
the accusing witness, and he stated
that at Louisville, KY, during the
war Gard and party of soldiers
raided the neigh borhood aud captured
the only surviving hog in the town
and ate it, Mr.. Cards defense was
that "the rebels had got between us
and our craker liue.n Mayor Nc
Clure ruled this out as impertinent,
doubtful and a poor excuse, when it
was evident the accused only sought
an excuse to steal.
Gard succeeded in impeaching the
testimony of the accusing witness
and helped his cause greatly. He
proved that at Cleveland, Tenn, Raj
ston stole plug of tobacco. 1t seems
that Gard was one OF party thrown
out to keep back the crowd when a
Union boat landed at Cleveland.
Many of the crowd had baskets of
provisions which they desired to sell
the soldiers and one of these, an old
woman, crowded up near Gard with
basket of tobacco. When her back
was turned, Ralston slipped up behind
Gard, reached around him and stole
a plug of tobacco from her basket.
She turned and accused Gard,
while Ralston escaped to the
boat, and waded into him
in great shape. He turned
to escape the onslaught and sank one
leg to the hip in hole where a post
for mooring boats had been pulled
up. 1t was full of ice water and
made the blood rush to his head and
he pushed the old woman away, but
not until she had beaten him glori
ously. II took years for him to live
it down in the army and when h,
finished telling it Ralston confessed
his guilt.
The jury found both parties guilty
| but dismissed the cases because the
statute of limitation had run against
them. The two criminals departed il
peace and had guiltily joyous day
| together.

Consnmption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 W. Pearl ST., lndianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr., James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and i'll February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost n miracle

In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
DESTROYS the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.

crowd at night and a varied musical
program was presented. The church
was beautifully decorated. The choir
and Sunday school sang and then
seven little girls, each with n basket
of eggs representing the colors of the
rainbow, gave "A recitation. There
were more songs and then six little
boys recited. Grace Patterson
rendered very pretty solo. The
infant class gave recitation about
Spring and acted out their lines to
the great delight of the audience.
The whole entertainment followed the
printed programs, enabling everyone
to take part and was closed by a
beautiful talk by Rev. Pulliam.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The services at the Christian church
all had ole direction. Three young
ladies represented as many ignorant
Hindoo girls seeking the path to
Heaven, and fourth, an American,
explained the way to them. Fifteen
little girls gave. recitation inter
mingled with songs. Miss Craigie
Mcdowell trained and directed the
children and the audience was much
pleased with the program.

PRESBYTERIAN.

The pastor chose an appropriate
text for the usual morning sermon and
announced at its close that he was
speaking for perhaps the last time to
this congregation as it was his inten.
ton to start on the early morning
train for his new field in West Nir-
ginia and it was not likely that he
would again return to Kansas. He
spoke feelingly of the five years of
his psstorate here, the friends ne had
made and the regret he felt at leaving,
but declared that he felt himself bet
ter fitted to do the special work TO
which he had been called and looked
forward to spending the remainder Of
his life in it. At the close of the ser.
vice nearly all the mem bership of the
church remained to bid him farewell
and God speed. In the evening a
special Easter service was conducted
by the children of the Sunday School
which was very pretty and entertain

"cHR'sT is RISEN"
The Joyous Festival Of Easter Celebrated in all
Our Churches With Beautiful Decora-
lions and Appropriate Services.

1t was perfect spring day, sunny
and warm and with little wind. So
everybody who ever goes to church in
lola found his way there, and a
census would doubtless have shown u
larger average attendance than on
any other Sunday of the year. All
the churches were beautifully decorat-
ed and in all of them there was either
special Easter service, or an
appropriate adoption of the regular
service.
EPISCOPAL.
The recently organized Episcopal
church held its service in the G.. A.
II. Hall, which it will occupy reg ular-
~ hereafter, aud which was beauti-
fully decorated, among the furnish
ings being the first altar, as that term
is understood in the Episcopal church,
ever erected in lola. In the absence
of a clergyman Mr.. H. NJ. Tudor
officiated as lay reader both morning
and evening, not only conducting the
ritualistic service but preaching two
sermons which for heauty, power and
eloquence have rarely been equalled
in lola. The older citizens of lola
who have met Mr. Tudor in a business
way during the few weeks of his
residence here have been pleasantly
impressed with him, but he revealed
himself in a new light to those who
were so foatunate as to hear him
Sunday, and it is very certain that
those who have once heard him in
the pulpit will not willingly remain
away again when he is to be the
lecturer.
