AUTHOR OF IN HIS STEPS.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Chas. NJ. Sheldon took charge of the
Topeka, Kansas, Capital, and con-
Quoted it's publication for one week
Us he considered Jesus would do.
The publishers reaped Il harvest from
this venture and they have allotted
81, 900 to the Rev. Charles NJ. Shell
don as his share from the profits of
;he "Christian daily newspaper"
during that memorable week in
March. Mr.. Sheldon thereupon dis
tributed this amount among objects
he considered both deserving and
needy, giving 81 900 to the fund for
the India famine sufferers, 81 900
each to two Topeka hospitals, 5000 to
Washburn college, $500 for public
drinking fountain, and the remainder
to temperance, charitable and similar
associations.
This proves that Mr.. Sheldon had
no mercinary objects in view in TAX
ing hold Of the paper, and his work
has resulted in moro good to suffering
humanity possibly than would have
derived from that Office in five years.
Sheldon is christian Of the true
kind.

saved themselves by jumping. They
were both pas 'enger trains and the
collision occurred on :orty-foot en-
bankm9nt, leading to 4 trestlc upon
which portion OF one Of the trains
was left standing. Fortunately none
Of the coaches left the track, there
were some 300 passengers on the two
trains, they were thrown violently
forward in the coaches and some forty
or more were injured more or less
seriously.
The wreck was caused it seems by
the failure Of the operator, at Belt
Junction, ID. G. Owens to deliver an
order to hold the north bound train.
Ovens is about 10 years old. He has
been in the employ OF the company a
month or moro. He was employed
during tho recent strike. 1t is said
that he seemed to be very little con-
ccrned about the accident, and failed
to say why he did not deliver the Or
dors after acknowledging that he had
not done so. He claims that the
fault is the dispatchcrs, that he did
not include this trains number ia the
order.

to the fact that it is going to be a
trial for some Of the candidates to
hold fast to their good resolutions to
avoid mudslinging and personal
abuse Of each other. From the re-

very evident that the main fight will
be between Gov. McSweeney who is

SAM JONES FIRES HOT SHOT.

Sam Jones warmed things up over
in Atlanta last week, in fact he had
on his war paint. lie poured hot
shot into the Democratic party and
backsliding church members, and
liquor sellers. In speaking of the
Mayo as drunken sot, he said he
would wallow with the hogs before lie
would allow such man to rule over
him, he said the deacons and stewards
and council members were all trying
to shield the dirty rascal who has dis
9raccd the city. He scored the
church-membcrs for their lack Of
manhood in failing to tell what they
knew, he said the carcasses Of such
old hypocrits would not do to use in
soap factory in hell Sam Jones
don't fail 10 talk out in meeting, not
even in Atlanta. Sam got warmed up
over the fact that the State Conyen-
tion failed to introduce the local
option plank: He said that prohibi-
bition could never be secured from
the red nose rascals composing the
Democratic party. lie would as soon
think Of going to Alaska for pine ap-
pies, or to hell for ice water, MS to
the Democratic party for anything
but whiskey. There were 5000 lis
teDing TO him and it seemed they en-
dorscd his sentiments, for whom he
asked every one present who endorsed
every sentiment he had uttered to
stand up, the whole. congregation
arose. We doubt if this kind Of
preaching would be tolerated from
the lips OF any one except Sam Jones,
but it is possibly very well that some
one has the backbone to stand up
and publicly denounce the existing
evils OF the day 1t is q lamentab'e o
fact tha5 the tendency is to wink At
these evils by those whose duty it is
to suppress them.

The first election in Cuba under the
American regime took place last Sat
urday. The citizens elected muni-
cipal officers in all the cities and
districts. The election passed off
quietly, no one was killed and it is
said that not even gun was fired.
The polls were opened at o'clock
O.. m. and closed at O'Clock p. IN.
Police were stationed at the polling
precincts but there were no disturb
ances Of any kind. In fact, judging
from the report, Cuba conducted her
first election in more decorous man
mer than many OF our elections are
conducted. The people seemed to
be very little concerned about the
election, only about so per cent. Of
the registered voters cast bollot.
The usual American tactics Of the
hiring OF carriages and vehicles to
take the voters to the polls were
resorted to by the candidates. The
negro ticket was withdrawn from the
race,
