CHOIR MUSIC.
mis- recruitment considers

This department considers the
following. from the Oskaloosa
Globe, the most amusing thing that
has appeared in Kansas paper this
year, and it is worth a place in
your scrapbook, for you will want
to laugh over it again some day:
The Globe man went to church
Sunday night to listen to the class
sermon, hear the music, and all
that. He didn't particularly feel
funny when he went in, for every
one seemed to be in rather serious
mood. 1t doesn't take much to
amuse you in church though, does
lit? Among the musical productions
was an anthem. Now, this is no
slur on the choir, for the anthem
was beautiful one, and especially
well rendered. But when you come
to analyze an anthem, the way it is
sung, it is liable to appeal to your
risibilities. This anthem was the
one, oh, That Had the Wings
of Dove To start out with, just
imagine the average choir member
with the wings Of a dove. What
they want is flying machine. BIT
to the knitting. The first tenor
ambled to the front and told how
he wanted the wings of dove, the
wings of dove, the wings of a
dove, three times, Just that way
you see. About the time he got
through, the fair-haired soprano got
in the game, and also wanted the
wings of a dove three times, but ex-
planned the reason by saying, that
| might fly away and be at rest, be
at rest, be at rest three more
times. Then the alto got the fever,
build me a nest, build me nest,
build me nest thrice again repeat
ed. But she scarcely got through I'M
til the bewhiskered bass also decided
he'd build me nest ma tree in the
wilderness. the wilderness, the
Wilderness The first tenor, the
fair-haired soprano, the alto and the
bewhiskcred bass We're now calmly
perched ON a nest in tree in the
Wilderness This was too much for
the rest of the crowd. The whole
dog-goned chorus rushed in, and de-
clared, in loud and no uncertain
tones, that if they had the wings of
a dove they'd fly away and be at
rest on nest in a tree in the will
derness. Are we to be blamed if we
thought it would look mighty funny
to see the crowd sitting around or
a nest in tree in the wilderness,
but when 200rpound bass, 246-
pound soprano, and then the whole
choir want to squat down 'on Il nest
in tree in the wilderness and be
funny to us. Can you blame us?'-

HARD HITTING EARNS VICTORY.
Anamosa Wins Easily; Score to o.

A home run by Allen and ten other
hits by Anamosa tells the tale of
Manchester's whipping at Anamosa
Sunday. 1t was by large margin
that Captain Cobb and his champs
were defeated by st. Johns crew.
The doctors and pail bearers were
the only busy people at the scene
of carnage. They carried away the
dying. St. John had no need of u.s.
ing razor, but handled a white
wash brush, which was just as effec-
tive and even more picturesque. Ana
mosa massed five runs in the first
three innings, and three more in the
eighth.

finding the building closed, asked Mr.

street, where he might find Mr.. Gill
Mr.. Gray stepped into the car, hav
ing offered to direct the chauffeur tc
the residence OF Mr.. Gill. In turning
the car around, it is supposed thai
a defective plug, which was attached
to the gasoline tank, permitted al
escapement of the gas, filling the
air with its equitable fumes. AS the

increased the flame beneath the
steam chest, an explosion occurred
and the machine was instantly en-
veloped in flames. Both men were
stunned for fraction of second
and powerless to escape, the deadly
fumes and four walls of fire making
it impossible for them to command
their faculties. Mr.. Gray fell from
the car onto the pavement, his face
and hands badly burned, while Tague
remembers climbing over the hood
and tumbling to the ground, his

to the fire station and hauled a
hose cart to the scene and soon had
the flames eXtinguished. Three tires
exploded, and all the wood work was
burned and charred. The upholstery
and cushions were destroyed with the

and other parts of mechanism may
be used in rebuilding the car. In.
surance to the amount of fifteen hun

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
PROSPERITY TOLD
IN TREASURY SHEET
Working Balance of $780,
100000 Likely to Grow.
Big Gains in Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Ofcials of
the treasury department are satisfied
with the condition of the country's
finances at the end of the first two
months of the present fiscal year. and
DO unusual emergency measures to
finance the crop movement, 1t was said,
were in contemplation.
The working balance is about $50, 000.-
600 and the treasury officials believe it
vii. increase with the next few months.
1t is expected that the revenues, which
are already large, particularly the re-
ceipts from customs, probably will con-
tinue at the present high figure for
several months. If these expectations
certificates will not be necessary, in
the opinion of treasury experts.
The largest item of increase in the
revenue collected SO far this year was
in the customs receipts, which during
the last two months aggregated $685.
552, 1877, as compared with $41, 741, 042 on
this date last year. This large increase
was due to the augmented volume of
imports following the enactment of the
tariff law. Tho receipts from internal
revenue also showed an increase of
about 2 1000, 900 over last year.
THE enormous volume of imports
now coming into the United States"
said an official of the treasury depart
ment today, will probably continue for
several months"

BOOM IN IRON AND STEEL
INDUSTRY CRIPPLES MILLS.

CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 2.-The Iron
Trade Review today says: Great ac-
tivity continues to prevail in practical
~ every branch of the iron n steel
industry. and in some products tho
mills are so overwhelmed with Tonnage
that deliveries are falling farther and
farther behind. In conservative circles
the question is being raised whether the
industry is not recovering loo rapidly
to insure a sustained stability, and
moderation is being counseled. The at
titude Of the railroads continues en-
c~ourasing, however. while the country
at large appears 10 be absorbing all the
tonnage it can get and is crying for
more as stocks are being replenished
and consumption is on the rise. There
is an unprecedented demand for steel
bars. and current orders being entered
are larger thar the outputs of the mills,
so that definite promises of shipments
are becoming OUT of the question
