Truth From the PulpitCCASIONALY a preacher is found who is ready to let come whatever will, and with this idea possessing him hurJsboltsof redhot truth from the pulpit into the ranks of his congregation. Such a preacher is often found looking for a j°kj Jet even if he be pulpitless, a sight of such a man is refreshing. Rev. H. S. Bigelow, of Cincinnati, delivered himself in ago as follows:

Hardened His Hands.

ETHER

will not be popular heraf-

ter with young champions of the prize ring for with it the noted Crawfordsviile tough,"Kid" Henderson, has come to grief. He was preparing for the battle of his life with one Sanders, a Windfall bruiser, which battle was to be pulled off in the woods near Windfall at the hour when grave yards yawn aud hell is supposed to ,bc empty. With a crowd as tough as they, they repaired to the spot. Henderson had his hands swathed in rags saturated in ether, that he might more effectively thump and bump and bruise Mr. Sanders' ugly mug. Some unscientific gentleman struck a match and the ether soaked rags caught fire, aud before they could be put out the hands of Henderson were terribly burned. The chances are much against saving some of his fingers, and the result will be his retirement from the ring.

Trick Exposed. ,*

TRICK which puzzled our learned savants and which they utterly failed to understand and looked upon as marvelous during our street fair was accidentally exposed at Terre Haute, when Lunette, the flying lady, fell with a dull thud to the floor. The dynamo which raised and lowered the wires on which hung Lunette suddenly (ailed to work and let go their hold. The illusion was destroyed.

"This idea is a revolutionary one. To-day churches do not employ preachers to teach them, but want them to repeat, in pretty phrases what they already know. The moment he begins to tell them something contrary to their c-reed, the moment he tries to teach them something, the old men begin to frown upon him, the old women begin to talk about the spiritual food their former pastor used, to give them and the young people are warnfed against his influence as a dangerous man. The religious organizations of our times are organizations for the suppression of important truths. They are founded upon error, to begin with, the error that truth is a dead thing, to be held in their creeds like a corpse in a coffin. 'God did not tell Moses or Paul or Jesus all he knew. Genesis was not the first book of the world's bible, neither was Revelation the last one. There is no place in which a thinker is so much out of place as in the average pulpit. I heard of ^preacher who aunounced his determination to study logic. A friend of mine earnestly endeavored to dissuade him. 'If you study logic,' said he, 'you will ruin your career as a minister. You can not take your logic into the pulpit." If the preachers have any conviction at all it is the conviction that it is not safe to tell the people the truth. A church that can not stand having the truth told can serve humanity better dead than alive. It is not a preacher's mission to maintain the peace of his church or the efficiency of his organization. It his business to preach the truth. If the organization can not stand it, I say let the organization go to smash. It is a matter of Supreme indifference whether this particular church lasts or not. "The real reason the churches do not reach the masses is that the preachers have no great cause to preach. They do not burn heretics today they freeze them out. The religion that the world needs is an ethical religion. Enough error has been mixed up with Christianity to have killed it long ago if it had not been for the fact that the religon of Jesus had at the core a great truth. It is the duty of the preacher to teach the truth, not only in relation to the moral life of a people, but in relation to their whole life. And it is the duty of the preacher to die professionall}', to fail as a preacher, and to invite destruction to his church, rather than teach what lie knows to be false, or rtfrain from teaching what he knows to be true."

Death of M. B. McCIure.

I XDAY morning Matthew B. McCIure died at the home of his sou-in-law, J. S. Steele, on south Wainut streeet, after two years of helplessness from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. McCIure was a uative of Bath county, Kentucky, and wasborn January 29, 1822. He was long a resident of Ripley township, remov'lug to this city seventeen years ago.

several years since, and

since that event he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Steele. He was the father of five children, four of whom survive him: Mrs. Steele, Wallace McCIure, of Ripley township, and Joseph and Winford McCIure, of Kentucky. The deceased had been a member of the Christian church for 38 years. He was a brother of D. F. DcClure, the wellknown merchant. The funeral occurred Monday at 2 o'clock from the Steele home, conducted by Rev. allace Tharp, under the auspices of the Masonic order, of which he was long a member. Interment at Oak

Two Fine Sermons. the Christian church Dr. Wallace Tharp preached two excellent sermons Sunday. They were were well attended by the members of his church for whom they were specially prepared and preached. They were quite warm in many particulars, but none too warm. The pastor is evidently a believer in the doctrine enunciated by the Apostle that judgment should commence in the house of the Lord and why not? The salt to be effective must be pure, and to purify it heat must be applied in the shape of truth. The preacher must often stand in the flaming mouth of hell itself and call his people back. No thinking, earnest member of the congregation but will endorse the well delivered truths of last Sunday.

Neighborly Amenities. ROM Madison township comes the story of neighborly concord over the old story of the fence across the lane, over which so much bad blood has been caused in days past and gone. Branson B. Rusk, in an affidavit in the court of Squire Stilwell, accuses neighbor Reece Stiugley with shoving his fence too far out and thus obstructing the highway. Mr. Stiugley, not to be outdone, returns the compliment by charging Mr. Rusk with the same offense. A little bit of wisdom aud common sense would have been more creditable 011 the part of these gentlemen, and far less costly than the courts.^ But the world wags the other wav.

Determined to Have It. EXEKAL LEW WALLACE has enjoined the Indianapolis Gas

Co. from cutting off the supply of gas from the boilers of his his apartment house in that city. The company was cutting off gas from the manufacturing concerns, large furnaces and boilers during the coming winter, that the supply for residences might be sufficient. It was intended to supply the HI grates and 52 stoves in the building with gas. but this did not suit the General, so he enjoins the company. How it will terminate remains to be seen.

Married in the Temple. RID AY' afternoon Mayor Elmore was called to the court house to officiate at the wedding of Nathan Patton, of St. Joseph, 111., and Mrs. Mary Pierce, of the same locality. The bride has been living for some time past with her daughter near Kirkpatrick. Mr. Patton is a prominent citizen of his town, and was decidedly tired of going it alone. Sov he hunted up his old acquaintance, Mrs. Pierce, who was entirely willin' and with nothing in the way. they were soon made one. They will reside at St. Joseph.

Sweet Revenge.

RS. WILKINSON found guilty of provoking her sister, Mrs. Roach, was sent to jail but before going she filed an affidavit for provoke against her sister, and she was compelled to dance to the same kind of music. Revenge is sweeter than the honey and honeycomb to the taste of the average son or daughter of Adam. &

Murder at Colfax.

HE Colfax saloon has another murder to its credit. This time Mike Houlehan, an Irish saloon keeper was shot dead in his tracks by a drunken soldier named Bert Julian, whom he had refused to giveliquor without the money. Julian left the saloon and soon returned with a shot guu, the contents of which he discharged into Houlehan's head, killing him instantly. Julian was arrested and jailed at Frankfort. He had gotten drunk at ihe saloon where the murder was committed, is the only right to sympathy he has, as the murder was otherwise an unprovoked one.

Carver Arrested.

URING the street fair Bill Carver, bartender at Nicholson's saloon, made a vicious assault on John

O'Connor, in which O'Connor got the worst of it, and for awhile it was not known whether he was fatally hurt or not. Carver was arrested and the charge of simple assault withdrawn and a more serious one prepared to which he will have to an-
