‘‘Santa Clausa Christians.** “Stumbling blocks" wns the subject of Evangelist Boyer’s sermon last night in the Christian church revival meetings. He said : “The church made a great mistake in teaching that knowledge was of the devil. Ignorance is sin in this country even if it is “folly to be wise.” Rufus Choate said, “Never permit the school system of this country to go down as long as enough of Plymouth Rock remains to make a gnu flint.’ “Higher criticism” may he high, but it makes men low, like “high five.” Men can’t go to heaven by the multiplication table. Prejudice unfits a man to act as juror. It is like the ivory finished armor of A.hilies. Mind and heart must Iks opened from within. There are two kinds of infidelity : Theoretical —Ingenoll’s kind for which he gets ♦500 a night; Practice—your kind for which you get nothing and board your-

self.

There may be spots on the sun, but it's the lamp of life; when it goes out we’re gone. Cling to the Bible till something comes along that beats it, then give it up. Inconsistent Christianity is practical infidelity. To say “Lord. Lord” and not do the things He says is to crucify Christ avaiu, and to

In this department of the city’s expenses there has been a great saving this year. Since May ], the beginning of the fiscal year, up to the present time there has been a saving of $1800, in comparison with last year and for three or four years past. This is a good record and shows that the city’s interest is being carefully looked after by Chairman Perkins and the street committee.

God expects a man to be as religious in a horse trade as at a sun rise prayermeeting. Some Christians play Santa Claus for the Sunday school at Christmas time, and the devil with the church the balance of the year. Wooden ducks and nutmegs may be all right, but Christians must tie men. I am either ashamed of my preaching, or my crowds when I see a bass drum blockade a street. A drum is a sheep skin stretched over nothing. “Getting religion” is a ! misnomer. A man may get small pox, ' or lazy or tired, or m the way. but waiting to get religion, he w ill get left.

Knock out Saloon Applirunta In all Townships where Applied For. The country people are having but little trouble in securing names enough to defeat saloons. The indications are that the saloon applicants will be defeated in Russell, Monroe, Washington and Franklin ttwnships without difficulty. Three remonstrances are already on file with the county auditor. One is from Franklin township and bears 251 names. The total vote in that township at the last election was 478, so that makes a majority against of 27. Franklin thus goes on record as wanting to be dry. Frank Tucker applied for license at Roaehdaie. In Washington township Samuel Neese applied for a license at Reelsville. There were 223 names on a petition that is on file with the county auditor. There were 413 votes cast last year. This gives a comfortable majoritjagainst license. The Washington petition did not name any single applicant, hut specified all applicants following Judge Rabb’s de-

cision.

In Monroe Fred Ellis applied for a license at Bainbridge. The vote there is heavy against granting. In Russell Henry Davey applied and our correspondent writes that the remonstrance has a decided majority. The petition arrived Wednesday and bears the names ot 184 against the saloon. There were 330 votes in the township last election, so 165 would lie a majority. The petitions are against Henry Davey or any other man. The commissioners state they will appoint a special day for hearing the remonstrances asthere may be some contests over signatures.

The Flrnt Ward Fight.

In a talk today with a member of the remoDStrance committee working in the first ward, he stated that the committee had met with but little encouragement Tuesday securing a few more names. The number of signers was still below one hundred and the gentleman further stated that the committee would hold a final meeting tonight but that they had little hopes of success. Another member of the committee said that a number were holding off until the iast to see how

Obituary.

Klla, daughter of Lyeurgu* and Ella I Stoner, was born. Oct. 4, 1881, and after a lingering illness of four weeks gently and quietly fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 22, 1895, age 14 years, 1 month and 19 days. When twelve years old she was converted and joined the Methodist church at Mt. Olive. Through all her sicknes- she bore her suffering without a murmur and had a smile for those who so faithfully and tenderly administered to her every want Ella was possessed of a kind and loving disposition end her presence was like a sunbeam bringing light and gladness into the hearts of those witli whom she came in contract. By her kind and loving manner, she gently won the love and affection of her schoolmates. At school, at home, every wliere she was a favorite. And though God in his infinite goodness, saw lit to call her home so early, she has left the world lietter far having lived in it. Truly it may ^e said, she tilled tier mission well. Sure :t Ella dear farewell— Our anguish none ran tell; With griefs our hearts are riven. But when we meet In Heaven, We’ll shout our griefs and Borrows o'er. And dwell in peace forevermore.

As a Christmas gift for a young lady A a roll of wallpaper or A ROLL OF THUNDER is less appreciated and less acceptable than A MUSIC ROLL designed for carrying sheet music. The roll comes in both cylindrical and flat patterns, is useful, handsome and of great durability, being made of leather and sealskin. In view of the approaching holidays this is a hint thrown out to the wise, the otherwise and the weatberwise.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently performed a great deed of charity, although it was not designed as a charity, being nothing more nor less than an advertising si-heme. It however resulted in great iood just the same. They gave away 1,000 bottles of their Digestive Cordial to those suffering from stomach derangements. It was so effective in curing those who used the remedy that they were huid in their praises pf it and In consequence a large demand for the cordial was at once created. The druggists of this town have little books that tell all about it. Digestive Cordial creates an appetite, aids digestion ami brings about a rapid increase m flesh and strength. Laxoi. is the name of a palatable Castor Oil. Just the thing for children. Latter List.
