SERVICE FOR THE DEAD.
DR.. Fisk Holds Memorial Service For
Lincoln Post.

The auditorium of the First Congreg-
ational church was well filed Sunday
afternoon by the members of the G. A.
R., the occasion being the annual me-
mortal services of Lincoln Post. The
memorial address was delivered by
Rev. DR.. D. NJ. Fisk, pastor of the
church.
The services were impressive, and
were in memory of the 81 comrades,
members of the post, who have died
during the past year. DIR. Ffsk's ad
dress was thoroughly appropriate and
in keeping with the occasion. He
brought out three main points. They
were:
THAT the sacrifices of the war paid
good interest to those men, in their
own enobled selves.
THAT they paid good interest to the
contemporaneous times and men, name
ly, maintenance of national unity free
ing of the slaves and the permanent
settlement of the status and dignity of
labor.
THE men had personally entered into
the lasting social fabric of the nation.
They had become a irremovable part
of the institutional life of our country"

Curtis and Bailey Both For Settling
Their Dispute Soon

The indications point to an early con-
gressional convention in the First dis
trict. The convenaAon viii probably be
held at Atchison.
During his recent visit in Topeka
Congressman Bailey told his friends he
favored an early convention and in
structed them to make whatever ar
engagements they deemed necessary and
proper.
Congressman Curtis long ago advised
his friends to push arrangements for an
early convention, a proposition and the
only one, upon which the rival candi-
dates agree. Under these circumstan-
ces the politicians believe the contro-
versy will be disposed of, prior to the
state convention, which will likely be
held in May.
Congressman Curtis was nominated

to induction into any job of high or low

yond these unsatisfactory hints, I am
still ignorant of the nature of this great
Populist missionary movement.
II know very little about practical
politics. My younger days. when 1
should have been learning such things,
We're passed under the tutelage of Wis
fonary preceptors like Uncle Chester
Thomas, Governor Osborn, Ben Simp-
son and others, who knew very little
about this wicked world and its ways;
and I am afraid these PopuliSt commit
teemen are trying to take improper ad-
vantage of my unsophisticated youth.
They sorely puzzle me. Nearly every
man on that committee is a monoman-
lac on the subject of a straight POpuliSt
league with no entangling alliances
with any other party on earth. They
have told me So They are even going
out nights, when there is TO moon,
hosting DicketS to keep Democrats from
intruding, and organizing the widest
eyed kind of Populist league. They are
not afraid of the Democrats, but are
boldly building UP, in the rear of rural
woodsheds, the most powerful and most
alton ever seen on these prairies. Yet
they can not be got to say officially
and for publication that they even favor
a Popuiist league with the Populist
platform as test of membership. 1t
is a psychological phenomenon. I wish
I had time to study it as it deserves.
THE committeeman are all honest.
There is not a man of them to whom,
in an emergency, 1 would not lend a
half dollar if 1 could spare it. Would
men of such integrity in private affairs
practice deception as politicians? 1t
can not be. But why can't I see the
constitution and bylaws of that league
Brother Botkin is organizing? Why
won't the brethren talk for publication
about this interesting scheme for con-
verting the heather and replenishing
the treasury? When 1 find leisure,
