New Regime for Unity Church.

The first services at Unity church
under the new regime were conducted
last Sunday morning by Rev. Shaw
and were attended by large cOngre-
cation Of people, who seemed to enjoy
very much the logical and excellent
discourse OF the pastor. The singing
of the choir under the direction of T.
A. Taylor, who has recently taken
charge as chOirSter, was more than
usually good. In the evening f. j.
Wood gave an interesting and timely
talk on the recent change in the
church home and the future prospects
Of the society, which was supple
mented by an address by Prof. Van
DuSen on the necessity of cOunteract-
ing the materialiStic tendency Of the
age.
The Congregational people seem to
like their new quarters. This church
was owned jointly by the Methodist
and Congregational societies Of the
two cities, whose ministers alternated
in conducting services every Sunday
afternoon in Centralia but after the
consolidation of the two cities, it was
thought best for one Of these societies
to hold services exclusively on the
west side Of town and the other on the
east. The Methodist people offered
to give or take 81, 900 for their interest
in the Unity church property, which
proposition was accepted by the Con-
gregatiOnai people. The old Ccngre-
gatiOnal church on the east side was
built in 1864 and has since been the
home of that society," There is
parsonage in connection with this
church but the age of both buildings
has about ruined their usefulness, and
this fact was one of the important fac
tors in bringing about the change.

Two Of the officers of this metropolis
passed the trying ordeal of mi
tiation into the active duties Of their
positions this week. Bob Snyder of
Necedah was in town Tuesday and
gave his stomach an introduction to
Grand Rapids spirits. AS it was I'M
used to such aristOCratic association.
it got Bob into a peck Of trouble, from
which officer John Garrihee tried to
eXtricate him by landing him in the
lookup. Bob stOutly resented this in
reference with his liberty and in the
miXup that enSued the officer gave a
swift kick at the drunken mans pants.
It struck BObs coat in which was a
bottle of whiSkey. The bottle was
broken and the whiSkey spilled, but a
piece Of the broken glass cut Officer
Garrihee'S leg so badly that his shoe
was soon filled with his blood. This
was Mr.. Garrihee's introduction to his
official duties. The next day Judge
CrOtteaU, with a proper display of
dignity and dispatch, Signalized his
first official act in maintaining law
and order in this community by fining
Mr.. Snyder. who had plead guilty to a
charge of drunkenness and disOrderly
conduct, 81 and costs. amounting in
all to $50, which the prisoner paid
and was discharged.

THAT COW.


There By the gate in tie fading light
] see her waiting for me tonight
Sadly note the familiar form,
The brown eyes bright with tear drops warm,
Her beautiful notified red and white
Her peusITs gaze as come IN sight
Little she dreams that ny hair turns gray
With the anguish she causes me every day
Little she knows OF the steps It takes,
Little she cares for the trouble she makes
And human tongue cannot picture how
hate the sight Of that id old COW,
For every night ere I sink TO rest
Ny ears are greeted with this request
Before you retire to the arms Of sleep
Stake the COW where the grass Is deep.
And every morn In the dreamy dOZe
That comes at the end nights reposss
j hear voice call hurry now.
] wish you'd get up and milk the COW
At noon when i 70 hungry as hungry can be
That same voice Is ever calling to me,
Before your dinner there s time. allow,
For you to water the poor old COW
IL IL rains OF halls or sleets OF SHOWS,
Or the wind with unwoutsd fury blows,
j must hasten out IN the driving storm
To see that the COW is safe and warm
Sometimes she fractures the pasture fence
And hies away toward the unknown hence.
While i follow smartinF beneath my wrong
And the air turns blue as pass along
%. none can picture my life Of ease
If that COW should die with the heart disease
Ny woes would be fully r5cOmpensed
Though the milk re consumed was all con
dsnsed.
o for some distant spot serene
Us here nature wears her most tranquil mten
Where cows have never been heard OF seen
And the people eat oleOmargeElne.

THE STATE FUSION KEr.

The men who were nominated at the

them a voting force that is able to give
Kansas a political complexion that she
has not enjoyed for some time.
The ticket represents the combined

ic, and the silver republican parties
The whole proceeding Of the cOnven-
tiOns was altogether harmonious. They
wanted to agree-tO present an IN
broken front against the Stanley re-
gime; and they did The reform move
ment in Kansas is not dead, but shall

After telling Of the Kansas City con
ventiOn, and speaking Of the principles
laid down IN its platform, the Chris
tian Herald, which is now exerting
such great influence among protesting
Christians, says: "This statement Of
principle leaves no doubt as to what
the party stands for, and every voter
can appreciate the difference between
it and the republican party" When a
party in its platform speaks forth what
it stands for In cold, hard words, it is
necessarily worthy Of trust and estab-
fishes faith In the hearts Of people
Then they know they are not going to
be deceived But when a political
creed like that Of the republican party,
is set with sentences the very con
construction Of which is an evasion Of
elearness, it creates distrust in the
rank and file Of honest men every
where. At this time q plain, straight
forward putting OF beliefs In political
platforms is and must be the only way
to secure the consideration Of the well
disposed voter. Politics should not be
a game OF chance, but the republican
platform would have it so.
