WELCOME HETERAMS.

1t is pleasure to note the1un-
failing and hearty hospitality of
She Darlington people exhibited
again this week to the stranger
within our gates.f And yet not
to strangers in the usual ac-
ceptance of the term. They are
our comrades and our friends. Or,
if they are not, the spirit and the
efforts of the darlington people
goes for naught. But there is
no fear on this score since the
expressions of friendly feeling
on the part of Earlington's guests
are of the most cheerful and
genuine character. The Con-
federate Veterans of the Second
Kentucky Brigade, commanded
at this Reunion by Colonel L. d.
Hockersmith, have thronged our
streets and filled our homes with
pleasant companionship and good
cheer these two days and they
leave us today with the regrets on
our side. Their stay has been
an unmixed pleasure to those
who have taken part in their en-
tertainment, and this number in
cludes many people in Hopkins
County outside of darlington,
who by their contributions and
their labors have added much to
Che success of the Reunion.
The gates of Darlington are
ever open with hospitality" en-
craven on the posts and the vete-
rams of the Confederacy will be
welcomed at any future time to
our town and our homes as they

Chicago, Sept 2O.-Wearing rich
robe and inter, modelled after those of
ancient Jewish high priest, John Alex
Ander Dowie has proclaimed himself
John Alexander, First Apostle of the
Christian Catholic Church"
The announcement was made in the
tabernacle at Zion City. Sunday, where
1000 people had assembled.
Dowie referred to the robes in as
summing Office.
After quoting scripture in support OF
the claim he had made to the title OF
drst apostle, he said;
81 did not create the office. 1t was
created by the Lord. l did not create
It any more than l designed these
robes. If you are in doubt as to my
authority to wear them, you will find
chem in the twenty-eighth chapter of
Exodus, the pattern given by God to
Moses when the high priesthood was
established"
Dr. Dowie wore a long garment of
heavy white satin, lined with white
silk. Over this was a purple satin
robe, fringed with kilt, of knee length
The "broidered coat" the richest fea-
ture of the costume, was of white satin
embroidered with geometrical patterns
In purple and gold, the colors of the
church.
The girdle was there with historical
accuracy, but on the breastplate, in
~ fhe lie cnr~f1N nod
by the Jewish ritual, was embroidered
scarlet cross edged with gold. Dowie's
headdress consisted of a white silk
mttre, or turban, ornamented with two
purple bands. White silk hose and
white canvas shoes completed the cos
tune.
"The ONCE OF first apostle Is per-
petual," said Dowie, after he had read
several long passages from Scripture.
ut should have been continued. Sue
oessors TO the original twelve men were
chosen to the number of nine to I'LL
vacancies caused by martyrdom or
death. My assumption of the first
apostleship is the final step in the or
ganization of the church as planned by
Jesus Christ.
In assuming his new title Dowie said
to his followers:
81 greet you to-day. l thank God
that you are here in thousands, that
there are thousands of others with us
on this great OCCASION. Zion restora-
ton host, do you accept John Alexan-
Ter as the first apostle and the high
priest of the church on earth?"
"Yes!" shouted back the members of
the host
Officers of the church, do you ac-
,ept John Alexander as the first apostle
Of the Lord Jesus Christ to the
,hurch?"
"Yes!" shouted back his leaders and
advisers, and the choir broke forth in
an anthem of rejoicing.

HEAD END ON FIRST DIVISION
Passenger and Freight Collidsd.-TwC
Injured.

North bound passenger train
No. 26 and south bound freight
No. 43 on the L. and n. collided
head-on at Highland Park at
Z :45 o'clock this morning. No
one was seriously injured, but
Engineer George Wilkes and
Fireman Patrick f. Stone, of the
passenger engine, were slightly
bruised by jumping just before
the collision. The collision is
said to be due to the fact that
the air on the passenger engine
failed to work.
The freight train was trying
to take the main track from the
siding and was just reaching the
cross track when the passenger
hit. Both engines were dam.
aged, and ten freight cars were
a | most completely wrecked.
None of the passenger cars was
deralled and save for the slight
shaking up the passengers were
not disturbed.
The loss, it is said, will amount
to several thousand dollars and
the track was blocked for sever
al hours.

THE WILLIAMS "kEYNorE.v

New York Press.---It was expected
that the Keynote" of John Sharp Will
liams would sweep the democratic
party into transports Of excitement.
And there never before was anything
so SLOW SO dull, SO dead! The dele
gates yawned when they did not doze;
when they walked up In the midst Of
the delivery of Mr.. Williams address
they trooped out Of the hall to seek
the numerous st. Louis bars and in
vest small part of their convention
earnings in cooling, refreshing, inter-
esting drinks.
John Sharp Williams may have i'm
agined before he ascended the plat
form that he was to recite what would
be hailed as proclamation of great
victory might be hailed by an excited,
ecstatic nation. BY the delegates of
the Belmont convention it was ac-
cepted In manner of an obituary. By
the voters of the United States it will
be received as a funeral sermon. 1t
seems to be recognized by the dele
gates who have taken their hire and
performed their service, as we'll as by
the general public, that it is of little
use to talk about what is going to
happen when it has already taken
place-that it is a waste of time and
energy to speculate on what the pub
lie may decide to do when the public
mind has made up its mind and in ev-
cry possible way. except in the final,
official form, shown its intention and
determination.

Canadian writer is evidently on init
mate terms with American politics he
does not know Mr.. Bryan. The
Worlds editorial follows:
Recent advices from the democratic
convention indicate that Bryan is not
as dead as was supposed. He sue
ceeded in defeating the "conserva-
tives"Fon plank relating to the gold
standard and also in modifying the
tariff plank of the platform. If he has
given up all hope of the nomination.
1t would be good play for him to
throw all his energy into the plat
form. He can then stand forth be-
fore the democrats and before the peo-
pie of the United States as a man who
places principles higher than person
al ambition. If he gets platform
that suits him arsl then turns in and
loyalty supports the nominee of the
convention, he will once more become
one of the idols of the democratic par
ty, and his whirlwind eloquence will
be of great service to quiet candi-
date of the Parker stripe.
There is not much fear that a dem.
ocratic administration would inter-
lVie Will Ine Solu standard; Dut
there is probably desire to save the
fall of Bryan and the silver men and
not humiliate them with declaration
that would be snub. A compromise
on this question might be regarded as
small price to pay for the support
of the Nebraska spellbinder 1t would
look as if the democrats regarded
Bryan not as mere windbag but a
man Of force and astuteness, whose
alliance is worth having.

THIS YEARS FLOODS.

Kansas City Journal.--Three years
ago this month the earth was as iron
and the sky as brass in Kansas and
throughout a large part of the west.
The heat was intense and the whole
landscape sirhmered and quivered in
the dry. scorching and whitening air.
The scene changed in this region last
constant fear of cloudbursts, inunda-
tions and washouts. This year we
passed safely through the season when
rains and floods are naturally expect
ed, only to be surprised a few weeks
later by another season of heavy rains
and by the sudden rise of the Missouri
and Kaw rivers to within few feet Of
the high water marks of 1903 1t is
believed that the crest of the flood has
been reached at Kansas City. but the
weather remains In a very unsettled
condition, so we cannot yet be sure
that all danger is passed.
The damage done so far this year
falls far short Of that suffered last
June. The people of North Topeka
moved out early The merchants and
dwellers In Argentine, Armourdale and
the west bottoms Of Kansas City, hay-
ing proflted by past experiences, are
their goods and belongings out of
harms way. and are patiently waiting
for the waters to subside. but not
withstanding all precautions, much
discomfort and considerable interfer-
ence with business have ensued in this
vicinity, while up the Kaw and Mis-
souri, valleys the washing rains and
lack of sunshine have ruined large
acreage of crops and are causing a
ruinous delay in the harvesting.
In the fields. Of course, nothing can
he done hut to submit to this distress-
ing condition and be resigned to it's
periodical occurrence. But there is a
plain and urgent duty incumbent upon
the citizens of the two Kansas Citys to
get together and adopt some plan
which will render the city impregnable
against the assaults of these recurring
freshets and floods.

WAS ITTRlcK.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Whs the
telegram from Esopus part Of a we'll
laid political plan? There are some
things that point that way. Hill and
Belmont wanted gold plank in tho
platform. They could not get It in
without alternating enough votes to
make Parker fall short of the neces-
sary two-thirds. 1t looks as II they
omitted 1t to get the necessary votes
and then advised Parker to send the
telegram he did. D. B. Hill has play
the name of the peanut politician
some years ago.
"A special telegram to the New York
tribune says within a few hours of the
nomination there appeared at Esopus
on the Hudson "the steam Yacht Sap
phire, the property of John Pierce"
of New York. bearing John B. Nc
Donald, the well-known subway con-
tractor who Is closely affiliated with
August Belmont" and soon after that
ne began to communicate with Wall
street interests In New York." by tele-
phone.
But If the telegram in favor of
gold was a put up trick didn't the
politicians overreach themselves? With
the platform as 1t Is the eastern deniSS
Gratis would have been satisfied, in the
main, for they knew that Parker was
sound on the money question (and fa,f
voted against Bryan on that account.)
!t looks as IL the telegram was a use-
less affront to those Bryan men who
We're willing to accept Parker gold
man, II the gold declaration were
omitted, SO as not to wound them.
What can they think and feel and do
about the affront that Parker offered
them? -

The cHAUTAUouA.

Davenport Times.-There is no.
ticeable tendency on the part of each
one of us to avoid mental exertion in
the summer time. If We read books,
they are to amuse; If we travel, it is
to seek cool place or to join merry
throng; If we work. we try to do as
little of it as possible. The spirit of
the summer time, at least for those
who do not have to plow corn and
reap grain because that work cannot
be done at any other time of the year,
Is to take life as easy as possible.
Perhaps that is an over statement of
the facts; perhaps we try to avoid
only the more difficult tasks.
But there Is no reason why there
should be three months of mental
rusting out. People all over the coun-
try have discovered that compromise
between study and work, on the one
hand, and play and recreation, on the
other, is the Chautauqua assembly,
where excellent lectures and enter
