An Entertaining Lecture.

The lecture on Ben Hur, illustrated,
given by Rev. J. R. Crawford, drew a
large audience to the Presbyterian
church last Sunday night. Ben Huf,
as all reading people know, is a story
of the Christ, and is a book perhaps
that has been read by more people than
any other one publication, saving the
Bible. Thesstories of the three Wise
men from the East are of intense in
terest and and the chariot race most
thrilling. The book, as every body
knows, was written by General Wal
lace, who. as pen picturer. had but
few equals. Rev Crawford used much
of General Wallace's beautiful Ian
guage in his lesture, and there was
scarcely stir during the hour in which
it was delivered,

What the Club Says.

The Columbia baseball team is loud in
its praise of the very hospitable
treatment it received at Lebanon dur
ing the series of games played at the
Chautauqua grounds. However the
manager states that there is no doubt
but the umpire robbed Columbia in the
last game the club engaged, the one
against Springfield. He further states
that the fraud was so palpabIe that all
who witnessed the game 50 expressed
themselves. Notwithstanding the
members of the club are fully con-
WINGED that they met foul play in the
game mentioned above, they came home
in fine spirits, and have no stones to
throw at the players of other clubs nor
the residents of Lebanon.
