morning sermon to the subject o.
Sunday ObservaDce-a laudable
effort on their part sin these days
of Sunday picnics, cards, tennis
and skating. But ell the sermons
in the world will mot effect the
populace nor purify the Sunday
while the people in the pews-the
laity-go on indllging in these
things.
Church members wonder why
the churches are not more numer-
ously patronized when they them
selves perhaps only perfunctorily
have attended church and they
rush for their luncheons and
scramble pell-mell to the woods
for the afternoon, saying that they
have been to church once, think
ing thus to excuse themselves. The
very fact of their trying to palliate
their picnic shows that they con-
slider it unbeco@ing for the holy
day of the week.
But there is still another cause
which retards q fuller attendance
At church Now it is not ques-
tion whether ell men would go to
church or not, but this is an art
icle TO establish a fact of which
but little cognixance is now taken,
viz-the ieverish haste and desire
TO get and answer mail In the Of
fees on Sunday.
The writer knows that many OF
the men who getmail ard do their
Office work on Sunday, disregard
ing the commsn5ment-"Remem
Der the Sabbath day,"-care not
to come to church, but he
also knows that in many cases the
dislri buting OF mail on Sunday
acts simply as an excuse for many
who would otherwise attend
houses OF worship.
The little busioess of this town
that sccumulstes on Sunday
could surely be postponed till
Monday. when one considers that
large cities, New Eork, Boston,
Philadelphis, etc., never distrib.
ute mail or even open the postof-
fee on Sunday. See also the four
or five men who are kept at the
postofii ce all day, ne~er getting an
opportunity for church attendance
because some men deeire to have
their mail as their excuse for not
doing that which they know they
ought 10 do.
Now In view Of all these condi-
tions, will not-they can If they
will-ihe business men of this
town, who desire to do something
practical toward Sunday Observ-
ance. resolve that they will not
frequent the postoffice or their
business on Sunday, LETTING their
offices and stores rest from Satur-
Jay night till Sunday morniug7
No one knows the perplexiiies
and complications of the problem
Of Sunday observance better than
the writer, but be is assured that
Tor vinita and all other small
towns, the closing OF the Postofiice
for the entire day would be the
hrst step toward a practical sboli-
tition of all Sunday work. The
other problems would soon right
themselves once the managers and
proprietors Of steres and factories

ELUDES GOOD FORTUNE.
Delegate smith, of Arizona, Has
Many Narrowing Experiences

Probably no member of congress was
ever murc madly pursued 10y fortune
than Delegate Smith, of Arizona, who
has successfully elUded il up To the
present time. lie has had numberlesS
opportunities of getting rich, but
missed each one 10y Il mere hairs

him if only missing paper would
turn up. This is POO shares of the
stock of the Great Verde copper mine,
controlled by Senator Clarke, and upon
which Delegate Smith loaned hardup
shareholder few years ago.
Smith tells the story, and il is veri-
fled by senator Clark. Five or six
years before the Verde mine WAS de-
veluped the holder of the 200 shares
got hard up and tried To sell them
Ia some friend for almost ANYTHING
he could get. At last Delegate Smith
took pity on him and leaned him 500
on the POO shares and filed the stock
away with lot of old papers. lie
thought no more of the matter until
the value Of the mine became known.
Then he tried to find the owner of the
stock, but the most diligent efforts
failed.
The United Verde company adver-
tiNed for the 200 shares repeatedly, but
neither Smith nor anyone else has ever
been able To find the certificates. SEN
ator Clark has offered $500 share
for all the Verde stock thar can be
bought, and if Delegate Smith could
find his 200 shares now he would.
within a few hours, he the better of

what he is missing in the world. and
Smith is in hopes ii may some day turn

Shannon Holds the Balance.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 2S.-The
result of the Democratic primaries,
held Yesterday, shows that ". t.
kemper and Joseph Shannon will
control the County Convention Sat
urday. Shannon holds the balance
of power.
The principal point of contention
to-day is whether Frank p. Walsh

dications this morning were very
much against Mr.. Walsh chances.
Frank Walsh is my personal
friend" said Shannon this morning.
81 am wavering between love and
duty. | know my friends can re.elect
Walsh or turn him down. The Ques-
ton that confronts me is whether to
favor friendship or politics. As far
as the political side OF the question is
concerned, there is only one thing to
do, that is to turn down Walsh, be-
cause he has formed an alliance with
Mayor Reed.
The Mayor is my personal and
political enemy. He is also George
NJ. Shelley's enemy. This fight isuot
against Walsh, from my point of
view, but is against Reed. Therefore,
| am allied with Kemper to oppose
Reed, The Mayor is a candidate for
Governor. The place to crush himis
in Jackson county, and We who have
been unfairly treated by the Mayor
stand to defeat him. To turn down
the Mayor means to turn down my
friend Walsh, and | believe that per-

Ruin Left in Storms Trail,

Indianapolis, June 26.-The tor
nado which swept across the state
from northeast to southwest yester-
day was the most destructive storm
that has visited the state since 1877.
The path OF destruction extended for
about IL miles and varied in width
from three to six miles. In this path
factories were wrecked, houses un-
rooted and blown from their founda-
tions, windows and doors crushed by
the force OF the wind, thousands of
acres OF growing crops were torn to
pieces or cut into shreds by the hail
and barns were demolished. Cattle
were killed and injured, machinery
was wrecked, forests were twisted and
bent and broken by the fury of the
gale, and telegraph and telephone
poles We're snapped off and the wires
scatteredin confusion along the high
ways and the lines of railway.
Great as the damage was and in
tense the fury of the storm, it is re-
markable that only two persons were
killed-James Van Hoy, a young
man of %, crushed in a falling barn
at Pendleton, and James Bailey. {,
farmer caught in the wreck at Nc
Cordsville.
A conservative estimate of the
total damage in the path of the
storm places it in the neighborhood
of 81, 100000.
