-Sundpy last enjoyed one of the
plea aAntee1sinles imaginable and
the px<d vsaspertain4y y
gathering at any similar event in
the history of the range.
Wilson's Orchestra furnished ex-
cellent music for the merry dancers
during the afternoon, a shower in
the ly:evening breaking up the
party. Everything went smoothly
and the committee in charge are
certainly entitled to the thanks of
the Grove for the manner
in which they performed their
work. The good order committee
also attended to their duties in
proper manner-there being no
call for their services.
The arrangement committee feel
that an explanation is due the as
sembled guests for the failure of
the balloon ascension, the man en-
gagged for the feat falling to file an
appearance as per contract. He
was with the street fair and carni-
val at Chisholm last week, and his
failure to live to his contract is un-
accountable.

WANT PIECES OF MAYORS ROLL.
Judge Martin and Joseph BaCkus Sue
for Large Sums for Alleged Libel.

for Large Sums for Alleged Libel.
On Saturday last Mayor NJ. L. Fay
was served by deputy sheriff with
papers in two suits for libel, the one
by Judge John NJ. Martin who sues
for $4,000 and the other by Joseph
Backus who sues for $4,000 for al.
legged slander.
The suit of Judge Martin is based
upon statements made by the mayor
to the city council at meeting of
that body some two months ago,
in which the mayor is alleged to
have made statements rejecting
upon the plaintiffs business in
tegrity.
The suit of Joseph Backus is the
outgrowth of statements made by
the mayor to the council and the
veto submitted by him to that
body relatives to the granting of a
saloon license to the plaintiff.
Mayor Fay says he is prepared to
stand by any allegations made, and
that he is like a certain Hibbing
gentleman who was the defendant
in sensational suit few months
since who made the statement that
he chad thousands for defense but
not dollar for compromise"
The cases will doubtless come up
for hearing at the November term
of district court.

THE HIGHER LIFE.
National Congress Of Disciples.

The bringing of the National
Congress of the Disciples of Christ
to Missouri this year is an uppor-
tunity for our Missouri preachers
aud those of contiguous States of
which they should be sure to avail
themselves. The previous meet.
ings Of this Congress have proved
very profitable to those who have
attended them, and the one TO be
held ut Columbia, Mo, March 2l-
%. is likely to be one of the very
best in the history of the congress
To say nothing of our own able
men who will he on the program,
it will be worth going across the
State to hear President Henry E..
King, of Ohcrlin college, on such
themes as "Thc Central Slgniti-
cancr of Christ. - and THE Fun
LameutaI Factors of Spiritual
Life. " The fact that Columbia Is

sion of the Congress. Not only
the preachers but many other bre-

session of the Congress. The

Religious Revival.

The Christian Evangelist, speak,
ing of the great revival IN Wales,
says:
A great religious revival, wide
spread in its scope, sweeping thous.
ands into the kingdom of God, is
n phenomenon which may well
cause rs to stand in awe. We can
but feel that we are witnessing the
visible effects of m invisible Spirit
of God, who in His chosen ways is
moving upon the hearts of the peo-
pie. One of the best things about
genuine revival is the sense OF
reality which it gives to many peo-
pie concerning religion. Too
many conceive of religion as Il
vague theory or an idle profession
But when II tidal wave of divine in
tluence sweeps through the com
muuity, turning men and women
away from their old ways of life,
into new aud higher ways, trans
forming the lives of the sordld and
selfish, the dissolute and profane
and bringing them under the spell
of holy influence, causing them
to renounce their sinful ways, and
come into the church and kingdom
of God, there is no mistaklng the
reality of the power that accomplish
es such results. Even the skeptic
is dumb in the presence OF such
spiritual phenomena. There is
nothing in all his category of force
to produce such effects, and he
is led to wonder whether. after.all
there may not be spiritual forces nj
work in the world which he had not
dreamed of in his philosophy. The
faith of the whole church is quick
ened and the spiritual universe

JEFFERSON|AN SIMPLICITY
A THING OF THE PAST
There Will Be None Of It in the
Inauguration Of President
Roosevelt O.Morrow.
MILITARY AND CIVIC PAGEANT

The cowboy of the West, in his
leggings and with his lariat, will
take equal place beside soldiers and
political clubs in the marching line
at the Inauguration of President
Roosevelt to. morrow. Senators
and the highest officials of the land,
Ambassadors and Ministers from
abroad will have their places in the
ceremonies, but none will be more
conspicuous than Captain Seth Bul-
lock Of the Dakotas or than Dead
wood Dick" whose name and rifle
are bywords to the literature of
Western adventure.
The Inauguration is to be great
spectacle. The President of the
United States, who is to enter up.
on Il new term so soon, is not un.
fond of military pomp upon an of.
fetal occasion. He will be the
central figure this week in a dis.
play probably never before excelled
in the history of the nation.
The big army and the big navy
are to be represented. His body
guard will be of his Rough Rider
Regiment and an entire squadron
of the Ninth Cavalry will have a
foremost place out of recognition
to the negro race. The different
uniforms of the troops of the coun-
try, the music of many bands and
the gay banners of many political
organizations, all ranged in pro-
cession three hours long will con.
duce to ceremonial splendor of gor.
geous proportions.
RECORD CROWD EXPECTED.
The record inaugural crowd to
date was that Of the first Cleveland
Inauguration. 1t was estimated at
la, 900 people. Present expccta.
tions number the crowd for this
year at from 200, 900 to 225. 900.
Every available foot along Penn
sylvaDa avenue, from the White
House to the Capitol, is now taken
iup with temporary stands, seats on
which enterprising individuals are
selling at round sum.
Those residents who have win.
dows facing on the avenue can rent

Presidents have entered upon a
term in relationship as close to
