David Roush, a farmer residing in the eastern part of the county, was plowing corn in a field Tuesday after noon, when a thunder Btorm came up He led his horse under a tree and took shelter there himself from the rain. He was under the tree but a short time when lightning etrucK it, killing the horse and knocking RoubIi down. Mr. Roush was found an hour later lying unconscious under the tree. He was carried to his house and it wes several hours before he fully became conscious. It is thought the reason the horse was killed, was that Mr. Roush had wound one of the lines around the tree in tie ing the horse, and that the entire electric bolt had been conducted to the horse by means of the line which was very wet.

Atchison Globe: By the time a man has saved up enough money to have a palm and a brussels carpet in his parlor his daughter has reached the "company" age, and he is not allowed to sit there. About thirty-five persons were bap tized in the river, 5 miles northeast, yes terday afternoon. They were baptized by Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, of the M. E. church at Inwood, and were a result of the revival held in that church last winter. Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock Barney Ocker became suddenly ill, while walking on the street. He was immediately taken to his rooms and cared for by his friends and Dr. Reynolds, lie is somewhat improved today. The statement that he was paralyzed is unfounded. Booker T. Washington, the founder and president c f the colored Normal Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., lectured last Monday at Essex Hall, London, to an immense audience on "The Negro Problem in America." Ambassador Choate presided at the meeting and introduced the lecturer. Last Saturday evening twenty-seven girls assembled at the home of Edith Kendall to celebrate her seventeenth birthday anniversary. The evening was spent in games and music. Miss Edna Capron was the fortunate one in receiving the prize of the eveidng. Refreshments were served. A young married lady got on the train at Kendallville the other day with her newly born babe and didn't haye time to purchatj a ticket in advance. She tendered a five dollar bill to the conductor for her fare. As the official took the bill he cast an admiring glanco down at the pretty baby and Inquired; "Haven't you got anything smaller?"

meaning the money. She replied: "No I've only been married a year and tbi is my first child." The Burlington railroad is experimenting with acetylene gas. Fixtures for its use have been placed in the dining car "Lincoln," and the new light will be given a thorough trial. It is claimed that it is brighter than common gas and not so hard on the eyes as electricity. Another innovation in Burlington dining cars is the installation of electric fans to cool the traveler while he eats, adding greatly to the comfort of a summer trip. The Indianapolis Journal says: "The anti-trust conference In Chicago will bring a considerable number of young men together, but ro far as the names of those who will participate as given, they are mainly those of men wno have no practical experience in affairs. The theorist can be of little use in the solution of the problem which the eo-cilled trusts involve." Theorists can do little talking, and thus bring the matter to the attention of the American people. Then men of practical knowledge can formulate a plan and "do up" the trusts.

Kelif for Younj; Men. A Chicago justice has opened a new way to relief for men who have "loved and lost." A young man bestowed his affections upon a young lady and spent his money freely for ice cream and candy and theaters and presents for her and then she didn't do a thing but marry an old bachelor. The young man couldn't stand the double loss and brought suit to recover the money lavished upon her, and the justice gave him judgement for 875 to be paid by the winner of the girl. Young men, see to it that the name of Justice Dooley, of Chicago, is ever held sacred and that due honor be accorded him for this advanced step in the interest of innocent and confiding manhood. Columbia City Post. Peculiar Action of a Wakaruslaii. The Goshen Ti mes tells that a young woman of that place was all prepared to marry a Wakarusa young man some time ago, but at the hour set for the ceremony she received a note from him stating that he could not be present; that a few evenings afterward she was surprised to see him in the Bucklen opera house in Elkhart with a young woman who had been her close friend; that they all took the same train for Goshen, and the voung man attempted to explain to her his actions, but she indignantly repulsed him: that she sent back the wedding ring and another romance was exploded. Center ot Population. The general census of l'JOO will show that the center of population. in the United States is not more than twenty miles from Marion and will probably be in the vicinity of Van Buren. In 1890 the center was near Greensburg in Decatur county. The census of 1880 placed the center of population in Ohio, but it is estima'ed that no considerable increase has been made in that section, while, on the other hand. Indiana, and especially the north central portion, has gained rapidly in population. AT TIIK CliriiCIIES. ST. PAUL'S KKFOKMKI) CIIUKCH. Services at St. Paul's Reformed church Sunday were well attended. The morning discourse was drawn from Mark 2:5: "When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, son, thy sins be forgiven thee." We note here: 1. Faith is a visible function of the soul. 2. Suffering has some vital connection with sin. 3. Faith is the condition of forgiveness of sin. In the-evening, the words of J. 1:20, "There standeth one among you whom ye know not," were considered: 1, as a reproach; 2, as description of a consequence; 3, as a declaration. The C. E. meeting was led by Miss Gladys Hoover. At a recent election, the following officers of the society were chosen: President, Walter White; vice-president, Miss Minnie Zumbaugh; recording secretary, Earl Wilkinson; corresponding secretary, Miss Mabel Maxey; treasurer, Walter Keyser. Services next Sunday morning and evening. ST. THOMAS CIIUKCH. Services Sunday morning very pleasant, good singing, and sermon on God's promises and providences. God's appointments are general; seedtime and harvest, summer and winter, cold and heat, day and night, unceasing. Men's earthly purposes may be disappointed bv conditions of health, life, accident, ability, men ory, wealth or help. God's heavenly promises assured to all the faithful, believing and desiring. In accord with general custom the evening service has "expiied by limitation" until fall. Sunday afternoon the rector baptized Welc )me Arthur Kaufman, a sick child, at the home on West WashiLgton street. UNITED UK ET 11 KEN. "Christian Liberality" based upon Luke 21: 1-4, was the theme of the morning sermon. It is our duty to give to the support of religion in proportion as God has prospered us. If prospered abundantly we should contribute largely, but if our possessions and income be small, then we may do like the widow who cast into the treasury of God her two mites. We should give cheerfully and systematically. A desire to please God and to do good should be the chief motives by which we should be actuated. "How Interpret the Scriptures" was the theme of the discussion at night. The text was Luke 24: 45, "Then opened he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures." Some of the scriptures were written about 3400 years ago while the latest are

nearly 1900 years old. It is quite important that we understand the meaning that the words and sentences were intended to convey at the time they were written. To understand them we must have a supreme regard for truth, and a sound judgment. There are many qualifications that are necessary in order to understand the word aright. A good interest was shown in ihe Y. P. C. U. meeting which was led by Miss Sadie Lambert. A marked improvement was noted in the singing as a re

sult of choir practice under the leader ship of the choirister, J. V. Vangilder. A large antendance was noted at the Junior Y. P. C. U. and as the day was cool all of the services ßeemed more pleasant than usual. An ottering was taken in the morning for the benevolences of the church. M. E. CIIUItCH. A large congregation listened to an interesting sermon by Rev. E Myers ot Argos, Re?. L. S. Smith filling the pulpit at Argos. The children from "Brighteide" were in attendance, for which we were much pleased. Ttey are always welcome. The League service was led by Mrs. II. A. Shambaugh, with the usual attendance. The Sabbath-school was well attended and a most interesting topic discussed. We were glad to receive the visitors, of which there were manv. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The congregations Sunday were of usual size and the interest throughout the day was very good. The morning 6ermon was from 1 Peter 1: 3 and was an earnest appeal to christains to be Christlike, and then do their very best always in building up the kingdom of righteousness. When there is a tendency to laxues8 and looseness in Christain service, such is ju6t the time to have the greater care and to be the more diligent about the Masters's business. The evening sermon emphasized the need of learning the lesson of compassion as taught in the parable of the good Samaritan. The attendance upon the Sundayschool seemed to be better than usual All Books were called in by the librar ian preparatory to making a new catalogue both of the old books and of the new ones just purchased. The school will go for a picnic and outing to Pretty lake two weeks from next Wednesday. The Endeavor meeting was unusually good. Miss Mabel Jacoby was leader. The Ladies Aid society meets on Friday afternoon with Mrs. E. S. Brooke. Literary Note.
