In The CHURCHES.

| worthy; that God will not hear your
| PRAYER. Believe him not. Tell the
devil what Jesus said about the good
shepherd going after the lost and the
stray sheep. Tell him about the wo'
man of the street who came TO Jesus
and prayed in her acts. and went away
forgiven. This viii drive the devils
lie AWAY from you Yes we must pray.
We cannot fight without it, says Cow
per. and the devil Knows it.
Restraining prayer we cease to light;
PRAYER makes the Christians armour
bright:
And Satan trembles, when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
That is a beautiful old legend
that tells us how the city of Prague
was besieged with an army of evil
cathedral bells when the saints went to
prayer. became frightened ard ran
away. The thought is beautifully
brought out in Longfellow's poem:
II have read in the marvellous heart of man
That strange. and mystic .crou
That an army of phantoms vast and wan.
Beleaguer the human soul.
And when the solemn and deep church bell
Entreats the soul to pray,
The midnight phantoms feel the spell,
The shadows sweep away.
Down the broad vale OF tears afar,
The spectral camp is fled;
Faith shfneth as q morning star:
Our CHASTITY fears are dead.
And now, press this thought upon
you; when you drive the devil away
once, he may come again. He depart
ed from Jesus Only ''for a season." But
resist again and he will fee again.
And there'll come day some time,
when death will burn out the last YES
tige of Satsn's poison from the human
soul, W hen we shall go to be with Jesus
where Satan never more can come and
tempt.

How To Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when SO many cases resulted Ia
pneumonia, 1t was observed that the
attack WAS never fol lowed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. It cOunteracts any
tendency of cold or Ia grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is
the best remedy in the word for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle
warranted. For sale by all drug
gists.

SHORT WRESTLING MATCH.
AdamsOn Easily Handled
Barr, of Cincinnati.

Eddie Barr of Cincinnati. came to this city
to wrestle with Harvey Parker. Parker's
arm was sore and he could not go on the
mat. Barr decided that. just to keep his
hand in and make a little money ne would
take on Ed Adamson, of Chicago, at one
time known as "Parker's Unknown The
match came off last night at the Empire
Theater. After the first three minutes Barr
went fat on his back on the mat, with
Adamson on top. After a short rest the men
got to work again. In four minutes Barr
shoulders again pressed the mat and Referee
Creecy gave the decision to Adamson. 1t
was the first time Barr had been defeated
The crowd of spectators was small. The
match was a hot struggle from the first
Adamson put Barr down with hammer
lock in the first bout and with crotch mold
in the second. Both men weighed about
100 pounds, but Adamson crushed his OPP
ponent down when he ended the second bout.
Frank Gehle, of Piqua. O., telegraphed that
he wanted to meet the winner and Adamson
Will arrange match with him. Barr ana
Parker will come together in the near tu-
ture.
Tomorrow night Eugene Bezenah and
James Murray, of Cincinnati will fight ten
rounds at the Empire. One OF the re-
quirements for the fight is that there be q
decision. There VIII be several preliminary
matches before the principal event.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. "a, '99.
In his recent visit South and attend
ance at the Vicksburg Agricultural
Convention, Secretary Wilson seemed
to get at the very inside of the condi
tions there, as he always does when he
goes into q community Of farmers and
growers.
''The convention was composed, q"
Mr.. Wilson said, in talking of the con
ditions South as he saw them, ''of rep
resentative men from the South and
the Northwest and full discussion was
had of the present agricultural condi-
tion in the South, the cotton crop, and
generally what hope there is for better
ing the condition Of the producers.
"Within late years much of the lands
in the lower Mississippi Valley States
not valuable for cotton growing have
been found to be we'll adapted to the
growing of early fruits and vegetables,
for Northern shipments. But this oc-
cupies the attention Of only a very
small per cent. of the Southern people
as it is prosecuted generally by North
ern men who have become identified
with the South in this line. The press
ing question is, and it confronts th'
whole agricultural South, what is thu

ton crop has been greatly extended
over the new lands Of the Southwest
particularly Texas, where the heavies
CROPS are now grown, resulting in Low
prices-so low that cotton growing il
no longer profitable except in favored
localities.
s.The cotton crop leaves very little
that is valuable for domestic animals
after the picking is done. In this re
spect it is quite different from the corr
crop of the Northwest States. The
farmer there usually keeps live stock

In the Epitomist we note remark
that is just as remarkable as it is true.
It says: Hundreds Of poor fields are
farmed every year that not only fail
to produce paying crops, but are act
ualIy running the farmer into debt. "
It does seem a most remarkable thing
that this sort of thing should be kept
ND so continuously. II man habitu-
ally loses money by cultivating poor
land, the only sensible thing to do is to
Quit it. He can do so in two ways; ne
can quit farming on his own account

can make some sort of living, and at
the same time improve his land. II ne
does not do this, OF course there can be
but one end to the process, and that is
the loss of the farm. And certainly 1t
would be infinitely better to stand con-
siderable hardship in the way OF hard
work and poor living, with a better
condition in view of the future, than
to 20 on in a shiftless sort of fashion and
