no pretensions OF being anything than
an humble Servant OF Christ and my
greatest desire is to serve my God and
Church faithfully and do all can to
promote my Redeemer's Cause. When
anyone seeks TO injure the pastor OF
church he is inhicting an injury TO the
church as we'll, Instead OF trying to in
jure pastor and church, the person or
persons who are guilty of circulating
these evil reports could find better and
more profitable employment If they
would first get their own hearts right
before God, and then bend their ener-.
gies to save some Of the dissipated peo
pie still living in Sequachee Valley.
Instead of seeking to injure me and
create a scandal and trouble in the
church to thereby injure the cause of
Chsist they should lend helping hand
to preserve and build up the Church In
Whitwell the Lord needs workers here
very much. However mean such per-
sons are, they should above all things
not be mean enough to do anything to
injure the Church OF Christ's cause.
to do any meanness, however mean and
low it may be, l don't know who has
been putting these reports In circula-
tion. Can 1t be possible that anyone
who calls himselfa child of God can be
so evil disposed as TO be guilty of such
work? If he has l advise him to go
at once and ask divine forgiveness for
the wrong he has done, and then come
and join heart and hands with us to
build up the Church and save the dissi-
pated ones.
| \ In conclusion | will ask this libeller
| what other motive can you have than
to injure our Church since you we'll
know am total stranger to you and
| it is not probable that you ever saw me
before, unless you have travelled or
been in the States have resided in and
seen me there?" Even If you have seen
me time and again what object can you
have in starting report you know to
be wholly false against one who has
never injured you and who don't even
know you? hope this letter may be
warning enough. but If hear any more
of such reports | will in justice to my
self as we'll as the Church seek to bring
all who are implicated in circulating
them to justice. This is no idle threat
for l can't permit such work to go un-
punished
The best way to save trouble and
avoid suit for libel Is to cease talking
and speaking evil of me and my church
forthwith II you will talk you had
better be prepared to substantlate all
you say that is in any way detrimental
to me or my Church. l have already
taken steps to prove to the public that
these reports are false in the extreme
as far as am concerned. Praying that
God will bring to naught all the work
of these sewers of evil seed and that he
will bring them to see the error of their
ways speedily, am,
Sincerely yours,

ton, Coxy's army arose like a mans
hand in the west and ant-trailed
through Washington, for we too we'll
knew that Grover was playing into our
hands the ropes of the administration,
which we are now holding with the ut
most rigidity,
When Grover is condemned by his
own party we brand him as the best
democrat that ever lived; when he is
praised by his own party we point a
scornful finger at his administration.
The Jacksonian amalgamates his con-
demnation with St. John against Mr..
Bryan because he antagonizes the
trusts and opposes our splendid system
of taxation with which we are feecing
the people. This much we do know
and keep ever dear as a consolation, If
Mr.. Bryan or any of his followers
attain the control of our government,
we would withdraw our money corpus
cles from the veins of circulation, and
bring about the same conditions upon
the Democratic party as were brought
upon Mr.. Cleveland, which would as
sure US, again, the ropes Of government
All the while we would be exclaiming
ourselves the benefactors of the people
and it is for this purpose that the jack
sonian would be pleased to see st. John
become ''spell binder" We again ad-
here ourselves with st. John in his en-
comium upon the general prosperity OF
the country, and see wherein he is a
politician in that he has failed to men
tion any of the strikes and lockouts in
our labor world. And furthermore we
will credit him with being generous O.
nough to the Republican party to lay at
its feet the prosperity yielded by field,
forest and stream.
st. John, doubtless, has grounds for
accusing the Jacksonian with ingrati.
tude, for his seeming Indifference OF
negligence toward him is not, long be.
fore him nowi placing him in direct
touch with the administration. But
, not until recently did st. John dawn up
on the political horizon, or not until
now have we been forced to recognize
the fact that he would be such formid
able manipnlator of the political ma
chinery. But now we'll do you know
the truth of your merit and great shall
be your reward.
Come, st. John, have somethi ng t.
tell you,
Come near, l would whisper it low;
Remember you are sworn to secrecy
This hand you never will show.
OF course it is not generally knowr
that the Jacksonian and Booker T
Washington have exclusive control o

but it is none the less a fact. Nov

The Jacksonian predicts a very bright
political future for st. John, and even
hopes to see him enjoying some luxur-
les to which he has, up to date, been a
rank stranger.
The Jacksonian looks foreward with
happy anticipation to the time when he
can spend the hot seasons with st. John
at the famous watering places of our
country and in the winter shoot ducks
with him from the same skiff in Buz-
Yards Ray, and in the evening of life
meet and weep with him over the grave
of John Brown.
But the thing that most recommends
st. John to US is his ability to prepare
such an elaborate article as his last in
such a remarkably short time as three
months and we are jubilant overthe fact
that we have reason to expect another
article, even more profound, as early al
as April.

Last Sunday evening John Bailey
went to the barn to put up his mule.
His dog followed and, becoming unruly,
snapped at the mule and then turned
to some cattle and began biting them
The dogs would not mind the com
mands OF his master and while he was
trying to subdue the mad actions of his
dog he bit him on the hand. Still he
never thought of the dog being afflicted
with hydrophobia. The next morning,
about two o'clock, he was awaken from
his sleep by queer sounds from the dog.
He raised up in bed and saw the dog
going through the field in the direc-
tion of James Hudson's.
Some time later Mr.. Hudson came
and told Mr.. Bailey that his dog was
over at his house killing chickens. Mr..
Bailey went over to Mr.. Hudson's and
called his dog from under the floor but
he Just looked at his master and went
back under the floor. Mr.. Hudson
reached his hand under and caught him
by the back OF the neck and brought
him out but in doing so the dog bit him
ou the arm and turned In to fighting
his dog and almost killed him. This
was the first to make them think that
the dog was mad so he was killed at
once. Neither Of the persons bit are
thought to be in serious danger OF by
drophobia.
Mad dogs are numerous above here
and several have been seen passing
through this vicinity.
A yonng man out travelling Saturday
night thought be saw a mad dog-ai
least the dog would not give him any
room in the road, Suppooe he took tC

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRAT.

In referring to st. Johns article the
Jacksonian would say that no has been
entirely too outspoken in his. position on
economic questions. While he and l
have courted together in politics, had
our boozes from slipping Bettertons
1889, yet we think it part of policy to
be in disguise and keep under cover
those economic questions which so much
affect the masses Of the people. In per-
fecting our schemes and railroading
through our statuatory enactments in
which are contained our special privil-
eyes out of which we sap our usufruct,
we should at all times refer to these
actions and accomplishments as benih-
cent legislation and as solving the best
interests of all concerned, and not go
into minute reference to questions af-
fecting the vital interest Of the masses.
Those questions affecting their inter-
ests should be handled only by rhetori-
cans Of our ilk to the elucidation of all
questions arising for investigation by
the masses; while we revile in our mo-
dern feasts and high life surprising even
oriental idealism. While st. John has
shown himself an adept with his field
glass in political battle, we now find
that his ability as an elucidator of poll
tical questions bids fair to make him
star politician and as such the Jackson
ian Democrat has seen fit to make him
a centre rush" in the next campaign.
Fame's proud temple shines afar and it
would crafty US to see st. John rise in
the scale Of degrees until he would
be honestly and justly called a spell
binder" In Americas powerful, periodi-
ical political hippodrome of fitful fe'
vers. The Jacksonian agrees with st.
John and is opposed to having our fin
ance "Mexicanized" by having to pay
"honSst labor with "cheap money"
The reason for 80 many agreeing is that,
with the dear dollar, we will be able to
get more work and more sweat from
the laboring man for fewer dollars. So
you see St. John is sound on that point
The Jacksonian further believes in
sound money and dear dollars because
we have our taxes to collect, and you
know we haven't reduced them any and
thereby we get mere value for the same
number of dollars Of taxes. The rea-
son we endorse high tariff is that we
get it paid In dear dollars, and here, a
gain, we get in touch with high life.
We, together with ST. John, were
glad when, under Growers administra-

that the disappearance of the cars can

of the incident.
1t is probable that before the present

was in Topeka two years ago and To-
peka people will remember it as being one
of the best shows of its kind that has
yet given a performance in this city. 1t
has not yet been decided whether the
show will make Topeka this season or
not. Mr.. Norris reports the show to be
much improved since it was here last
and Topeka people would no doubt be
glad of the chance to see it again.

override the laws of the United States,
which it is my sworn duty to enforce"
In the letter of the 14th the president
quoted the finding of the anthracite
strike commission regarding the en-
ployment of labor as follows:
1T is adjudged and awarded that no
person shall be refused employment or
in any way Disseminated against on &C
count of membership or non-member-
ship in any labor organization and that
there shall be no discrimination or in
reference with any employe who is not
a member of any labor organization by
members of such organization"
Concerning this principle the president
wrote: TT is of course mere elemen-
tary decency to require that all govern
ment departments shall be handled in
accordance with the principle thus
clearly and fearlessly enunciated."

by his cousin George has started for
Deadwood S. D., on hunting trip. Tne

DAMAGE MONEY FOR KELLEY.
R. I. Deposits $23, 71s.so With Treas
urer of Wyandotte County.

1t is reported that the Rock Island
railroad has deposited in the treasury
of Wyandotte county, Kas., the sum of
$23, 1850, being the amount awarded by
the board of county commissioners sit
ting as condemnation board to John
Kelley of the Kelley Milling company
for purchase and damage money to
land in Armourdale.
The railroad company desires the land
for switch purposes. Two members of
the condemnation board appointed by
Judge Fischer of the district court
awarded Kelley $4,000 purchase and
damage money, but as the third mem
Der of the board refused to sign the
award the railroad contested it
Judge Holt of the common pleas court,
before whom it was tried, held that the
first award was not regular and ordered
the board of county commissioners to
proceed to condemn the land.
The money paid into the treasury yes
terday covers the award made by the
county commissioners. Kelley appealed
to the supreme court.

RULE IS PROMULGATED
President Emphasizes His Posi-
tiOn on Union LABOR.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 21-President Roose-
welt has made applicable to all depart
ments of the government service the
principle he enunciated at the time he
reinstated William A. Miller to the posi-
ton in the government printing office,
from which Miller had been dismissed
because of a disagreement with the
Bookbinders union. The president has
plainly stated to the members of his
cabinet that that principle is to 'indi-
cate the policy of the president in sim
liar cases.
The president has authorized the pub
LEGATION of a letter which was sent to
each member of his cabinet on July %.
The letter was signed by Mr.. Barnes,
acting secretary to the president and is
as follows:
MY Dear Sir: The president directs
me to send to you herewith for your in
forma ton copies of two letters sent to
Secretary Cortelyou with reference to
the government printing office, which
define the attitude of the administration
in connection with the subject discuss
ed They are sent for your information
and guidance as they indicate the policy
of the president in this matter"
The letters tc Secretary Cortelyou were
written on July Is and IA. The salient
sentence of the first letter was:
There is no objection to the employees
of the government printing offices con-
shutting themselves into a union, II
thew so DESIRE but no rules or resolu-
lions of that union can be permitted to
