Kvaugellnt Royer Disclaimn Being# KevivaliHt—Claims to be .Simply a Teacher. Mr. Bover’s sermon last nfght was one of the most simple yet striking and powerful addresses on methods of Bible study ever given here. High as is the position our people assign to him already as an orator and preacher of the gospel, be was given a still higher place because of last night’s effort. Under his simple management the Bible didn’t appear as it is sometimes wrongly though it be—a book to be received, not perceived—a huge pyramid of incongruities impossible of rational belief, but a sim pie divine message to men, so clei r that children can understand its claims and follow its leadings. The attention of the vast throng was a glowing tribute to Mr. Boy er’s power, to make dull themes living, the Bible is all important, hut all parts are not equally important. All parts of my body are not equally important. You could cut off my hands and my feet and I would still live. Take my heart out and I die. Jesus is the heart of the Bible. No man takes medicine by the shelf he suits the antidote to the disease. No adequate idea can be given to the main body of the sermon, as Mr. Boyer quoted nearly one hundred passages of scripture, making old things new and midnight bright as dawn. Tonight will be a chart sermon on ‘ The Gateaay into the King dona of God.” Song service begin-

ning at seven o’clock.

Mr. Boyer took for his text this afternoon “Look Ye On Us.” He made it a special talk to Christians, Impressed on their mind how nee essary it was that they as Christians should walk humbly before God, that their life to those around them might he an example of true Christian fidelity. He gave numerous illustrations of how men had given up life, home and everything dear to them for the love of country, hut had never given up anything for the greater love ol Jesus Christ.

Mex.lure’s Maicnzlii* on Abraham Lincoln. McClure’s Magazine has struck a popular chord in the presentation of unpublished history of Abraham Lincoln.

Imuianapolis, Dec. 3, 1895.—The largest tire in the history of this

imoU'ly nominate him for speaker, not the perfunctory "uiianimnu*” nomination which usually follows when one candidate receives a majority of votein a caucus over hi* competitor or competitor-, but a really unanimous nomination in which there was no competitor. anil in which no other ruudidaje was either thought of or named. In the very nature of things such au honor can come to but few men, bpt that it was fully deserved in this ease is well known by every republican in the F idled States. There are other able republicans in the Uou-e, scores of them, hut it wa* virtually settled by lb, republican voters more than a year iftrolhat this lunior should lie paid to Mr. Keed. One of the- in out Important immediate results of Speaker Reed's being honored in so extraordinary a manner is that lie issinues his high olllce untrauimeled by deals or promises, probably the only man to do so since

congress was established.

It is not yet certain when Speaker Keed will announce the committees of Hie House, but it is expected that be will do so before the close of the week. Ills an encouraging sign that there is no scrambling for committee places. There seems to be a general disposition among the republican members to leave it entirely to Mr. Keed to say where they shall serve, knowing that so far as the old members are concerned he is an excellent judge of the places in which they can do the best work towards making this a business congress, and that the few personal disappointments, wnich must necessarily follow the placing of members, will be largely overbalanced by the general good that will

thereby be accomplished.

The other otHcers elected by the House were: clerk, A. McDowell, of Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-arms, B. Russell, of Missouri; doorkeeper, VV. J. Gienn, of New York; postmaster, J. C. McElroy, of Ohio; chaplain, Rev. H. N.

Coudeu, of Michigan.

The most interesting feature of the first day’s session of the Senate was the debut ot the new senators. 1 here were thirty of them, but fourteen of them served in the last Senate and were merely sworn in for new terms, while three of them—Sewell, of New Jersey ; Walthall, of Mississippi, and Chilton, of Texas,—have been in Senate before. Thirteen donned the senatorial toga for the first time, but some of them have long been prominent in public life. For instance. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, has been a member of the flonsp and governor of his state; Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, has taken * biading partin the last two or three national campaigns; SenntorCarter, of Montana, in addition to serving two terms as a delegaie inihe House, is chairman of the Republican National committee; Senator Klkins, of West Virginia, was a delegate in the House from New Mexico and secretary of war in President Harrison’s cabinet; Senator Gear, of Iowa, lias been twice governor of his of his state, served three terms in the House, and was assistant secretary of the treasury under the Harrison administration; Senator Borrows, of Michigan was one of the leading republicans of the House for a long periodThose wbo are new re national politics are, Clark, of Wyoming; Mantle, of Montana; Baker, of Kansas : Prichard of North Crrolina, and Wetmore. of Rhode Island, republicans, and Baker, of Georgia; Martin, of Virginia, anil Tillman, of douth Carolina, democrats, and Butler, of North Carolina, populist Owing to the time of the House being taken up with the election of ottlcers and the choice of seats Mr. Cleveland's message will not go in until tomorrow. Representative Walter Evans, of Kentucky, thinks the democrats started the story that he bad withdrawn as a candidate for senator, in order to create tlie impression that lie didn’t think the republicans had any chance to elect Senator Blackburn’s successor. Mr. Evans has not withdrawn, and lie is confident that either himself or some other republican will be elected to the Senate by the Kentucky legislature.

A saa case of suicide at Dan Etcheson’s Sunday morning was that of Mrs. Susan Etcheson aged about 82 years. Her mind hau been bad for quite awhile, having been at the asylum. She had s.iid that she was going to put herself cut of the way. Her reiniatis were buried Monday near Carpentersville. Short service was held at the home by Rev. Bates. S. B.

Last week Milt Thomas went to Putnamville and brought him home a bride. He will move in the house formerly occupied bv Chas. Kevt. On Thanksgiving day two of Greencastle’s best shots with Isaac Bratton, pf Vi valla, came here bird hunting. Our local sports now say game is as scarce as democrats since the election. James Bee has added a corn crusher t> his mill and is grinding considerable

feed.

Win. Whitted who has hud such bad experience with hog cholera, now reports the cholera all gone. So are his

hogs.

Protracted meeting now in progress at Bethel M. E. church. It does seem bud enough for our democratic friends to sell their hogs at three cents a pound, and other tilings in proportion, without being taunted by every republican they meet with “Have you heord from Kentucky?” But tlie way of the transgressor is hard. Our trustee has levied a tax to build a graded school building in this township next year. As might be expected the moss back is up with his objections. Dan Brackney is moving this week to

Holiday CaU»n*!arH.

The holiday season, when the purse of the people is freely opened, and everyone feels the general goodwill so universal at that time, is

close at hand.

The shrewd merchant avails himself of the o portun»tv to present his patrons with a holiday souvenir, prized for its beauty and elegance, and which will, if in the shape of a Calendar, prove an advertisement of his business throughout the entire sueceeeding year, and therefore a money maker. The Bannkk Times has been fortunate in securing the agency of the August Cast Bank-Note and Litho Co. of St. Louis, which is the largest manufacturing and importing house in the country, and whose fine work requires no introduction. The advantageous terms that we have made enable us to offer their medium priced and fine imported designs at prices which are uneqnaled. and as low, if not lower, than priees made by that celebrat-

ed firm direct.

These cars arc the flnest that have ever been turned out of tlie PuJlnmn shops, and are duplicates of the magnificent cars ou the New Yerk and Chicago Limited. They are divided into nine rooms, each room containing a double lower and upper berth of the pattern used in the open sleeping car. The rooms art much larger than the staterooms in the largest steamships; each room Iwing furnished lb a different colored tapesfry from its neighbor, and containing a wash-stand which is built into one corner. This wash-stand is arranged so that it is really a receptacle for hats, bonnets and small articles; also containing a clothes brush.

In addition to this is a faucet connect- jk ing with a drinking fountain of ico water. In the other corner of the room is a handsomely cushioned seat which can lie turned to one side, exposing the closet.
