sit next to a man in a street car who
was juste taking the dread disease
Within few days Mr.. sntwisle had
contra ted the malady and died. Just
before his awful taking of, Professor
Entwisle had written the sacred song,
which ha- since been taken up at the
campmeetings. "Lean on Jesus and
Rest" Here are a few verses:
Like as a bird at evening,
Flies t. its mountain nest,
Sa NAV my heart when weary
Lean on Jesus and rest.
When with life's cares Pm burdened,
When with life's work Pm pressed,
Softly there comes "A whisper
Lean on Jesus aud rest.
Fen tho ] walk thro' sorrow,
knowing his will is best,
I will. Without a murmur,
Lean on Jesus aud rest.
Oh, soul, so burdened aud weary,
Lean on Jesus az d rest

been arranged for the male quarttete of

The Mary VI. yinyard Launched.


One of the most beautiful and sue
ces,ful launches that hs- been witness
ed in this town was the launching of
the steamer Mary NJ. Vinyard from the
ward Of Wilson NJ. Vineyard MIR. Vim
ward has been busy ever since he dis
posed of the Emma Refs, making plans
for a new boat, which Vas completed
for launching early last week. She re-
ceived her first duck last Saturday
noruing vt so, amid the cheers of a
large most # peO le, who had gathered
to witness the affair. Mr. Viuyard's
little boy, Wilson, Jr., christened the
steamer "Mary NJ. Vineyard, after Mr..
VinyaId's mother. The boat will be
nut in shape at once for freighting aud
be used for that purpose this winter,
and in the spring be completed for the

that the capitalists of the town have

HOYT DASH MISSING.
That Is Why Trip to Chinatown
Was Disappointing.

When Charles H. Hoyt died the life
Of every farce he wrote went with him.
No one can put on the bright plays

the company which gave "A Trip to
Chinatown at the Grand Saturday
matinee and night did not get the color
and dash into the three acts that were
there when the piece was given on the
same stage some eight years ago, under
Hoyt's direction, with Harry Conner as
.Welland Strong"
The company was not so bad and the
entertainment afforded was better than
most of the musical farces seen in To-
peka this winter. There were four peo-
pie who were quite good The rest were
uniformly Indifferent VIM Kellar
Mack made as good a Ben Gay as

WILL HOLD TWO YEARS.
officers in Cities of Third Glass on
New Basis.

It IS not generally known, but the
mayor and councils of cities of the third
class who viii be elected next Monday
will be elected for two years. Hereto
fore their terms have been only for one
year. The recent legislature made the
change.
Cities of the third class have been
electing their officials for term of one
year ever since 1871. The recent legis-
lature passed two bills affecting these
elections. The first, approved March 3
and made effective upon publication in
the statute book, did not change the
term of Office but simply amended the
law of 1871 in regard to filling vaRan-
cies.
The other bill. approved March Z and
effective upon publication IN the official
state paper, repeats the 1871 statute and
provides for a two-year term As this
did away with the section which the
March bill amended, the latter seems
to be of no effect
The fact remains, however, that here
after cities of the third class viii hold
elections only once in two years, and
the city officers to be elected next Mon
day VIII hold their offices until the
spring of 1905. This is a matter of con-
siderable importance in a great many of
the smaller towns.
