CONSTANT1NOPLE Aug. go
Since the recent illness of the sultan
of Turkey and the attempt to assas-
sinate his majesty, the most talked
of man in the Ottoman empire is
Prince Mohammed Reshad ETendi.

dict that within a year Prince Res
had will succeed to the sultanate,
for it is said in court circles that
Abdul Hamid, if he be not removed
by assassination, will succum within
a twelVe-m month to the serious nerve
trouble from which he is suffering.
Already Oficialdom is paying court
to Reshad, not openly. for that would
bring down upon them the wrath of
the suspicious Abdul, but in un0sten-
tatiOus ways. The heir to the throne
is being made to feel that he has
now devoted followers. among the
Cringing court clique of Constanti-
nople, where previously he was ig-
nOred.
Prince Reshad is the younger
brother of Abdul Hamid. and is no
more fitted to rule than is the most

of supreme superstition, of diSso-

New Court House Fence.

Judge Folbre informs us that you have another say coming to you, so we will say it to you, gladly and proudly, too.
 The Judge has some ideas of his own about the finances of the county, and they are commendable ones.
 He says he has had the matter under consideration for year or more, that he would have built 1t last year, but didn't have the money, and didn't propose to put the county in debt for it. He believes in the cash principle, which is holy be- lief Wish there were more like him. But there is now about $500 to the credit of the court house fund and he will build a complete and beautiful iron fence around the court house yard just as soon as a satisfactory contract can be made. Hurrah for the Judge It will be a mon- ument to his memory for many years after he shall have gone to his reward.
 The Judge has also negotiated with MT. Julius Lesser for another one of the County Railroad bonds, which was ex- pected to arrive at the Bank of Eastern Arkansas, Wednesday. This one being retired, there will be but D more of these bonds outstanding He has been buying these bonds heretofore at par, as a favor from Mir. Lesser, but owing to complica- tions, Mir. Lesser demanded 6 per cen, premium on this one. But even tEat beats paying per cent every year until they mature.

Easter Service.

The rector of the Church Of the Good Shepherd has had service one or more times each day except Saturdays during Lent. He has labored energetcally and faithfully for the betterment of mankind. His efforts are appreciated, and he has had the satisfaction of seeing at these ser vieesa fairly large attendance of the com- municants, and many visitors.
 All these services and the holy day. during Lent are to prepare the mind to properly appreciate the events in the life of Christ which they commemorate, and all lead up to the greatest church festival Of the year which is Easter, when the Lord was Risen, and the earth rejolced.
 On last Easter Sunday the beautiful Church of the Good Shepherd was artist!- cally and profusely decorated with the lovely flowers of springtlme. It was really an inspiring sight 10 look upon the beauty of ones surroundings who attend ed the impressive services, and note and s'shh shos oAi Wdc uOIC p1 tilt CdlHtSl women of the church for the glory of Him who suffered the agonies of the cross that we woms of the dust might have . propitiation for our sins.
 A special and appropriate programme of music had been prepared for the oeca- sion, and the choir was augmented by the addition of several voices. The several numbers, processional, chants, offerto F, hymns, recessional, &c., were elabor- ate and magnificent, and were we'll rendered by those participating, all of whom had devoted much time to prepara- sion. Mrs. Calling was the accompanist and rendered her part faithfully accord ing to the score; Mrs. Walter German, Mrs. Harry A. Knight, Miss Mary Joe Pettus, Miss Louise Calling. Mrs. Dcker- son, Mrs. T. w. Barrow and Miss Ruth Hatcher, were the sopranos; Mrs. Ellis Hurley and Mrs. J. M. Nichols rendered the alto parts Mr. David Davis, Mr. II. F. P. German and Dr. E J. P'Poole sang the tenor score, and Mr James Gillian, MT. Chas. Tarver and MT. Waiter Cor man the bass. The music was most ex- cellent,
 A deeply spiritual sermon was deliver ed by the rector, Rev. Geo. E. Hancock, A M., who also celebrated the holy com munion, there being nearly forty persons to partake of His body and blood.
 Perhaps the largest regular service con- gregatiOn ever seen in the church was present, and enjoyed the very impressive ceremonies and spiritual benedietions of the occasion.
 It was blessing to have been there, and every heart present must have felt the divine influence.

WHEN RELIGION is NOT AN
ISSUE.

That there is no Mormon-Gentile
conflict in Ogden was clearly shown in
the Republican primaries. And this
feeling of confidence in Ogden is called
to the attention of the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, that organ of anti-Mormonism
and booster of political nondescripts.
This city (Ogden) has dem
onstrated that when religion
is eliminated as test of fit
ness for Office, the Gentiles fare equal
ly we'll with the Mormons and often
are the most honored. For instance
in the primaries last evening there was
no issue of Gentle or Mormon, there
was not even a whisper OF religious
difference, but when the individual
contests had ended it was found that
all five candidates nominated for coun-
cilmen were Gentiles, not because they
were Gentiles, but owing to their per-
sonal popularity or their ability to
bring to their support a greater num-
