Howe is editor in question and Rev.
Charles NJ. Sheldon is pastor of the
Congregational church in Topeka.
Rev, Sheldon asked to run the daily

and so Mr.. Howe requested the
privilege of occupying the pulpit for
that week. The editor announced in
his paper that the desire of Rev.
Mr.. Sheldon TO publish a newspaper
for week is evidence that the clergy
man does not believe a sufficient
amount of religion is injected into the

Mr.. Howe. neither is there common

SPRAY OF THE RAPIDS.

DR. 4. L. Ridgman received letter
in Centralia the past week from his
son Earl, announcing that the young
man was 10 depart for South Africa on
Monday, January %. Earl seems
never content unless travelling. and
evidently does not believe in sitting on
one rock all the time for the purpose
of keeping it warm. During the war
with Spain he enlisted as volunteer,
went south, was taken sick, drifted
from camp to hospital, but finally
landed in Porto Rico just in time to
return home with his original regi-
ment. Then he was variously en-
ployed in different cities of the state
until last October. when he went to
Arkansas to run a stationary engine
in saw mill. The lumber firm soon
transferred Earl to Memphis. Tenn.
in le same work, where he was given
a fine position. Now he has probably
decided to dip into the Transvaal war,
although he did not give any inkling
of his mission in Africa to his father.

The Centralia fire department was
called out this morning about 1890
O'Clock to fight blaze in the little
white tenement house owned by Mrs.
II. Lefebvre, opposite the J. T. Moore
wagon shops. The department never
responded to call more speedily and
promptly, and as result they had
the destructive element under control
before much damage was done. A
thorough soaking for the building of
course could not be avoided. The
house was rented and occupied by the
family Of Amial Clausen, stone mason
and bricklayer. He succeeded in
saving all his household goods. Fire
started from StOvepipe running
through hole in roof without Chin
ney.

The projected electric freight and
passenger railway that will doubtless
be built down the Wisconsin River
Valley next summer is to run from
Eagle River to Rhinelander, to Toma-
hawk, to Merrill, to Wausau, to Mosi-
nee, to Stevens Point, to Centralia. to
Grand Rapids and then to Port
Edwards. Where will it get its
revenue? From the flood of freight
and passenger traffic which is burden
ing the many lines of steam railroads
that traverse and cross the valley:
from the logging camps to which spurs
will be built for log transportation,
and from the power it will furnish the
manufacturing concerns that are
rapidly filing up this resourceful
valley.

Persons who have suffered with
rheumatism for years, believing that
there was no cure for them, have been
agreeably surprised by getting well
under DR.. McElwee'S treatment. AS
is we'll known, the doctor has visited
Grand Rapids during the past year
and the cures that he has made are
quite numerous. No doubt the
doctors experience as resident
physician at the Hot Springs has
given him unusual opportunities to
observe and treat chronic diseases
generally, In these painful cases of
rheumatism and stomach troubles of
long standing, he is said never to fail
to effect a cure. John Roethe, who
suffered SO long with rheumatism is
now fully recovered under DR..
McElwee'S care.

THE TRIAL A FARCE.
Caleb Powers Statement About His
Trial and Conviction.

(By Associated Press.
GEORGETOWN, ky, August 19.-Caleb
Powers. who was convicted ard sentenced
TO life imprisonment Saturday. issued a
statement this evening, as follows:
To the Public:
l am asked my opinion concerning my
trial and the verdict OF the jury Could
! have but one opinion? Can any fair
minded man or woman Of this State have
but one? That one of the greatest judicial
farces known TO history has been enact
in my trial under the forms OF law no
weli-informed man can doubt. Innocence
is no shield with S10DU00 and the methods
of CampheliiSm against You. The recti-
tude of ones past life counts for nausht.
They say Taylor is guilty because he was
at his office, and that | am guilty because
l was away from mine.
This was a political trial throughout. for
political purposes, and no greater mistake
has been made by the Democratic party
since they robbed US of the Offices to Which
we were fairly elected by the people. There
are good men and noble women in the
Democratic party, and many Of them.
They are not bad: far from 1t. A great
many of them do not indorse the theft OF
the State offices. A great many more will
not indorse this mockery Of d trial, this
prostitution Of the courts of justice for
certain ends.
From the beginning of the campaign
until now I have stood, with VIII little
of merit 1 have had, for the rights and
liberties of the people. That is my crime
That is the only cffense l have committed
That is the only proven thing against
me. l swore to that myself in my tesu-
mony l have never had any, and now
have, no apology TO make for being true
to the trust imposed upon me by major
ity of the voters Of this State. History

have outraged me. and dissraced the judi
