Hot Shot from Methodist Pulpit.

Last Sunday night Rev. III. G. Gross
man, of the Lutheran church, filled the
appointment of Rev. Mr.. Jones, who was
absent from town and engaged with
ministerial duties at Seneca.
Rev. Mr.. Grossman, fguratively speak
ing, "shelled the woods" and for three
quarters of an hour poured grapeshot
and shrapnel into sin and sinners, and
occasionally three-pounder was fred
at the dispensary or dens of infamy. The
reverend gentleman is rather optimistic
in regard to Walhala's spiritual status.
He said that minister out West once
made this statement to his audience: 'If
God Almighty were TO come to this town
and 20 cunning for Christians He
wouldn't get shot" Mr.. Grossman
feared that this is about true of Wal
halla.
We are frank to admit that we do not
think the situation quite SO critical as
Mr.. Grossman feels it to be, but certainly
there is room for marked Improvement
on spiritual lines, and a frequent turning
on of the gattling guns from the pulpits
will not come amiss. Edward n. West.
cott, the author, makes his principal
character, David Harum, remark, ga
reasonable amount of feas is good for a
dog; it keeps him from brooding over
being dog" OF course we do not mean
tu iihcu tie ministers TO aeas or tho CON
gregations to dogs. Harum's philosophy
simply strikes us as being to the point
A fair amount of hot shot now and then
is good for the Christian; it keeps him
scratching and thinking.

New Dispenser for WaIhalIa.

at the recent meeting of the County
Board of Control j. A. Keaton was
elected dispenser for Walhalla to sue
ceed Jesse Lay, Jr. Mr.. Lay has made
an efficient and acceptable officer, but
will retire on February 1st, when Mr..
Keaton, who formerly occupied this po-
sition, will assume the duties of dispen-
ser again. Mr.. Keaton resigned his po-
sition before because he was disgusted
with handling liquor. He accepts now
because he is disgusted with handling
6t-cent cotton. The farmer this year is GO
ing to reduce the cotton crop, and we
hope Mr.. Keaton will be able to decrease
the output of corn and rye from his
establishment.

careful administration of the new hoard
the affairs of the county are in safe
hands. Messrs. Phillips and Zachary

WINNERS AT THE HORSE SHOW
Crow & Murray Head the List ON the
First Night. ~ 49,.


One of the most remarkable things in
| connection with the first nights perform
| ance OF the Horse Show was the total alb
sence of people in the so cent seats. All
OF the high prices seats were sold, but
| those which were set aside by the manage
| ment to be sold at popular prices were
| almost vacant. These seats command just
as good view Of the arena as any seats in
the house and why they were not filled
can only be accounted for by the threaten
ing weather. Evidently many think that
the big nights are reserved for the latter
part of the week, but such is not the case.
There were fourteen more events than the
management know what to do with and
these have all been put on the program so
that each evening and afternoon when
there is a performance a first class ex-
hibition may be expected
In the arena all moved with precision
that ELECTED favorable comment from all
sides and which augured we'll for the show
for the balance OF the week, when some
heavy programs must be pulled of. The
competition was keen and the judges con-
sumed considerable time in making their
awards in several of the classes, which
made the program extend a little later than
was intended, but the show was of such
satisfying merit that none complained.
Murray was the big winner of the night,
taking down prizes to the value of 1896. He
was keenly disappointed that his roadster
did not show, but more than made up for
It in some of the other events, notably the
jumping class. when he took all three
prizes.
The stable of Weir & Rogers of LeMars,
Ia, attracted considerable attention. but
the horses always landed just outside of
the money. The appointments OF the firm
are good and the horses all fine lockers, but
they did not seem to strike the judges
forcibly enough to win any Of the money.
William F. Sapp of Council Bluffs was
on hand as usual with his megaphone
and was general master of ceremonies
The busiest man around the place how
ever. was w. A. Austin, superintendent
of the arena. He had the wholesale charge
of the entrance and exits of the horses
and also of the we'll drilled corps Of at
tendants, who marched into the arena
to the air OF martial music. He had the
arena in perfect condition and the few
soft spots which were in evidence during
the reheaTsals Sunday were entirely OBJ
liberated. Because OF the rain Monday,
Mr.. Austin had pitched tent connecting
the hitehing tent with the entrance to the
arena.
change was made in the location Of the
band and instead of being in a pigeon loft
as last year at the east end Of the build
ing 1t was placed behind a bank Of ferns
at the west end OF the balcony. The
bugler and the band worked well to-
gether. and by the aid of Mr.. Austin
and his bell system there were no de-
lays or gaps between the entrance Of the
horses and the exits and the playing OF
the band.
The Judges were orson Moulton Of Ba-
tavia, n. Y, c. A. spratt OF Little Rock,
Ark. Louis A. Larimie of Minneapolis and
