from Chicago. Luke Van Evera, for
merly a resident of this city and a
printer by trade, was found in dying
condition at an early hour yesterday
morning in Chicago. 1t was stated that
Mr.. Van Evera was a Dubuque man
but it is believed by local acquaintan-
ces that it is the same Luke Van
Evera who was brought up and at
tended the public schools in this city.
He had visited here about two weeks
ago and told some of his friends of be-
ing in several of the larger cities in
the adjacent states and mentioned
Milwaukee ss the one he liked best
HIT had only been in Chicago a short
time and it is thought that he met
foul play at the hands of robbers, as
when picked up, he was almost dead
from a severe scalp wound and there
was evidence of struggle. He had
also been relieved of any and all val
uables.

Many Attend Revival.

The revival at the Christian
church conducted by Fife and
son, evangelists, of Kansas City,
Mo-, continues with great inter
est. Up to Monday night the
services were held in the new
Christian church, but on Tues
day they moved to the Opera
House-across the way where
they will probably remain to the
close of the meeting. This
change was made in order to ac-
commodate the large crowds that
wish to attend every night.
The preaching is done by
Evangelist Roger II. Fife and is
attracting and holding the at
tention OF all who hear him. He
is always interesting and instruc-
tive. Many CONVERSIONS and adj
ditions to the church are report
ed already and it is expected that
large number will be added in
the next few days.
The music, under the direction
Of Evangelist Clyde Lee Fife, is
certainly of a high order. Besides
the main chorus, there is Sun
shine chorus of fifty voices, an
orchestra, piano and organ to as
sist. Mr.. Fife thoroughly under
stands his business and leads
with vim and earnestuess that
is irresistible. He is being as
sisted by some of the best talent
in the city.
Evangelist Fife and son arc
men of national reputation and
from the turn the meeting is now
taking, it seems that they will
fully sustain the good record
made in other places.
The following important sub
Gets will be considered:

II tho sun Was to Change Color

We have grown SO accustomed to
sunlight of the present coloring and
shading that we can scarcely COM
prehend the conditions that would
arise if the sun were to suddenly
change to some other color. If the
sun were blue, for instance, there
would be only two colors in the
world-blue and black-or if il
were red, then everything would
be red or black. In the latter
case we should have red snow, red
lilies, black grass, black clear sky
and red clouds. There would be
little variety, however, if the sun
were green. Things that are now
yellow would still remain that color,
but there would be no reds, puppies,
orange or pinks and very few of
those cherry hues that make the
world SO bright.

1t was on p. and o. liner, and
the stewards were being drilled iii
waiting at table. In the course of
the drill they lined up outside the
saloon with empty dishes, supposed
to contain curry and rice, and on =
bell being rung marched to their
respective tables and proffered the
dish to each seat containing an i'm

cockney named Bill, deliberately
passed one of the seats without
proffering the dish. He strobe up to

degree of uttering at times shrewd
and humorous remarks. In the

few of the royal sayings. When
Chief Lord Baron Macdonald, a

ting in the Westminster court, '"The

the king, "has snuffbox at one end
and chatterbox at the other"

Had Boon Warned.

A little girl had been to Sunday
school for the first timo and had
been much interested in the lesson,
which had as its foundation the text
"Put your trust in the Lord and
place no trust in princes"
About week later when she re-
turned from kindergarten she found
her mother busy helping the cook
prepare fruit to make jelly. She
sat down to watch-they were too
busy to let her hclp-and presently
she heard her mother give an impa-
ticnt exclamation.
"What is it, mammal" she asked.
ooh, every one of these quincea is
bad at the core, and I'm very much
disappointed, for 1 had counted ON
them. l wanted to finish my jelly
today"
"I wish 1 had known" said the

The oriainal5Lemon.

If they haven't the original lem
on up in the Metropolitan Muse
um of Art, they come pretty near
achieving that distinction. In one
of the cases containing the Edward
g. Moore collection of oriental art
objects there is a group of pieces of
Venetian glassware consisting Of
cups and vases of various kinds and
shapes.
On the lower shelf of this case
there is large sized and perfectly
shaped representation of a lemon
in bright lemon colored glass that
must represent some artisans idea
of a joke, for it has nothing to do
with the ordinary sort of pieces
those glass blowing shops turned
out at that time. AS it dates from
the sixteenth century, it certainly
antedates any lemon known to the
present day. 1t never will be hand
