So again, when they come to deal with
expansion, they juggle worls. They state
insincerely what they know is not true,
and strive to bring shame and dishonor on
the country for their W political adj
vantage. They say they are against inn
perialism. So are we. Not an American
in the land favors imperialism, and they
know this. They profess TO fear the evils
of a great standing army and a grand
navy. They know that 40 II proposes
for a moment TO make the army and
navy larger relatively to our needs Of the
moment than they have been to our needs
OF the past. We are not imperialists;
we are expansionists. and that we have
got TO be whether we wish to or not. The
work of expansion is going on all about
as before our eyes. Every miner who
stakes out a claim on the Yukon, every
new settler who takes up unoccupiei land
among the foothills of the Rocky Meun-
tains is a unit in the great work of ex-
paasion. Every mar before me to-day
is here because his forefathers were ex-
p~ansionists when they crossed the Ale
ghanies and came this side Of the Ohio.
Expansion means growth. neither more
nor less. Imperialism is simply a catch
word Of those who wish to retard our
growth, TO stunt US, to hinder the deyel-
opmcnt OF our might, Of all our power.

Did He Find the Preacher?

One of our citizens was acccsted one
daylast week by stranger, who was
hunting preacher to marry him land had
been to see the Methodist pastor, and be
wasn't at home. He asked where he
could find the Presbyterian preacher
and was directed to DIR. Kalb's. When
he reached DR.. Kslb's home, he too was
absent. He then went is see the Luth-
eran minister and found him absent al
80. He was then directed to the Baptist
minister's home, and found him, like
wise, on the list of abs entees. Whether
he finally found minister, we do not
know, as our informant dropped the
search, after the fourth trial. but we ap-
prehend that the woman in the case
finally took part in the hunt, and il
she did, they made hitch, you may de-
pend on it.

THE PRESBYTERIANS
Chose Rev George e. Davis of
Fort Wayne, to be Their
Pastor,

The congregation of the First Presby-
terian church met last Sabbath morning
and elected pastor. After the regular
opening services the business was tsker
up for which the meeting was called
DR.. Kalb acting as moderator and Mr.
A. Jay Miller, clerk. Everybody, al
most, thought it would be necessary tc
tarry long in the church. Outsiders
said the Presbyterians would have 6
time choosing pastor, they will be &C
hard to suit. But it was religious act
and the congregation seemed imbued
with a desire to religiously perform
their duty, and the whole proceedings
we've orderly and impressive.
The first ballot which was purely in
formal showed Mr.. Davis in the lead
and the first regular ballot gave him g
fiue msj jority. DR.. Chalfant moved the
election be made unanimous and it was
done.
DR.. Kalb was in his happiest mood,
and delight, saying he had never seen the
like of it, and he was proud of the church.
1t was voted to pay the new minister ST.
800, the call to be signed by the members
of the session and the trustees of the
church. Mr.. George W. Bartholomew
was chosen amb assador from the church,
to attend the next session of Presbytery.
There is general satisfaction in the
church over the call of DIR. Davies. He
satisfied the congregation in the pulpit,
he has the highest of recommendations,
he has done excellent work in Fort
Wayne, as the records of his church at
test, and he made very pleasing impress
sion while in our city. He will receive
a very hearty reception when he comes
among us. The church bad assurances
of his acceptance of call, if it were
made to him.
Some eleven preachers have filled the
pulpit since the resignation, nearly
every one of whom would have been
acceptable to the congregation, if he
had been named as the first choice of
maj ority.
The vacancy has been filled in an
orderly, Christian manner, and all are
pleased over the result.
The First Presbyterian church of this
city, in its history, extending over "a
years, has had five pastors, DIR. Kalb
serving 35 years. He has had the per.
sonal acquaintance of all the other pas
tors. Three of the five have been named
George, and the pastor just called is

Religious.

There was good audience of the city
people Sunday evening at the Lutheran
church to hear Rev. S. S. Adams
sermon on "Some of the things that will
not be found in He'll" The sermon was
earneat, Biblical and logical. The
speaker did not undertake to locate hell
but says it is real place, which is
prepared for the abode of deyils. If men
prepare themselves for the company OF
devils, they would be unhappy and out
of place any where else.
Some of the things which will not be
found there are, no friends to comfort,
no love, no music there except the vail
of lost souls, no social Influences, DO
churches, no children, nothing to soothe,
nothing to bring happiness, Joy, peace
or comfort.
The evening meetings will be con-
tinued all this week except Saturday
evening, commencing at O'Clock.

Stabbed.

A. J. Rausenberger and M. L. W olfe,
former partners in the milling business
in DeGraff, had war of words at the
-four mill, last Wednesday evening,
which resulted in the latter striking the
former with a knife, causing flesh
wound on the right side. The weapon
used was an ordinary pocket knife, with
small blade open. The wound is about
three-fourths of an inch long and deep
enough to reach the ninth rib. A
physician attended the wounded man
and he drove to his home in the
country. No legal proceedings have
been opened, but in all probability the
the courts will hear evidence and fix
the responsibility.
At this time, Friday morning, Mr..
Rausenberger is experiencing no seriou
trouble from his wound.-DeGrafi

st. Paris Waking Up.

St. Paris and vicinity have suffered
from drinking, disorder, petty thieving,
&C., for some time past, but the good cit.
izens have finally walked up, and are de-
termined to stamp out all kinds of law
lessness. Monday, Cline Garyin, keep
er of saloon in the village, was fined
$25 and sentenced to 80 days in Jail for
selling liquor on Sunday, and given q
sentence Of 80 days in Jail, by the Court
in Urbana. He was released from 20
days of the sentence, on condition that
he never enter upon the business again
in the county. His stock was carted off
to Urbana, and his building seized, to
pay the Dow tax.
Frank Grimsley was caught in Farmer
Bakers chicken coop, and warrant

The Latest Detrick Clue.

The city dailies, yesterday, published
a report that two pairs of shoes with
bloody socks in them were found under
a brush heap on the farm hear the scene
of the DERRICK murder, which occurred
a year ago, last August. The finding of
the shoes is probably true, but why
would anybody who had committed the
murder hide he shoes in brush heap
and then 60 home barefoot, when it
would have been much easier to have
buried or burned the shoes at home.
But probably the owner of the shoes
drowned himself in the lake and hid
the shoes to keep any one from stealing
them,

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of face
full of pimples. Hollow cheeks, sunken eyes,
and swallow complexion will defy his best
intentions. Beauty is more than skin deep
The skin is merely the surface which is
written in plain characters the condition OF
the body. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is good for the complexion because it
makes the whole body hsalthy-because 1t
clears and puriies the blood. makes the diges-
ton strong and clears out impurities of ali
kinds. By increasing the ability to assimilate
nutritious food, and by the infusion of its OWE
ingredients it enriches the blood and so makes
solid, healthy flesh. 1t cures diseases of the
lungs, liver. stomach, bowels, skin and scalp
simply because all these diseases spring from
the same cause-a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood.
