The Amendments killed.

In the State Senare Monday the proposed constitutional amendments were killed beyond the hope of resurrection. By a vote ,of 25 to 23, they were declared invalid on Account of defective enrollment. Eighteen Republicans and live Democrats voted in. favor of the amendments, and twenty-two Democrats and three Republicans voted against them. Senator Hoover, we are glad to say, voted with the Republicans. The Swedish Lady Quartette and Miss Eda Eliel have given entertainments in the principal cities all over the countrv, and have reeeived numberless commendatory notices from the leading, papers of those cities. In the one city of Chicago they received favorable mention from the following well known papers: The “Tribune,” “Times”, “Evening Journal”, “Chicago Herald”, and “The Chicago Citizen”.

We believe this will be a really lirst class entertainment; and that it ought to receive the liberal patronage of our people. The Goodland Herald, after a suspension of about four weeks, like the fabled Phoenix fropa its ashes, again bobs up serenely, and we are glad to welcome it once mqre/to our exchange table. Bro. lvjtt is a good newspaper man. The people cf Goodland appreciate tiiat fpct and have usecf him right white since his misfortune. Bro. kitt keenly feels the kindness of his friends and his enthusiasm, thereupon, borders close upon misbiness, but not more so, pvobaly, than would be the case with any of us, under the same circumstances.

A Distressing Accident.

A fatal accident occurred near Augusta last evening at 6 O’clock, resulting in the death of Dr. Anderson Howard, of Pike township, and the probable fatal injury of his daughter. They were Crossing the track of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis & Chicago railroad ana were struck by the incoming passenger train, due in .- this city at 6:15 .o’clock. The engine struck the buggy, entirely doinolifching it, and throwing the occupants out. From the nature of the injuries, they probably both alighted on their heads, Mr. Howard dying instantly. His skull v*ns frncture'l, neck broken and left shoulder dislocated. Miss Howard was seriously injured aboqj; the head and neck, and has remained unconscious since the accident. The attending physicims pronounce her dangerously injured, probably fatally. The victims -were well to do j »cH.»ple, and most highly esteemed. A family consisting of a widow and sr reu children is left. “Indianapolis Journal.” The above named, Dr. Howard, whs an uucle of the Rev. J. J. Claypastor of the M. E. church at tois place. He had long been a preacher in the baptist church, but, his voice haring failed him, inIBTS Turned his attention to the prao 'Mm. medicine. The condition of Mlp Howard, according to the i«piiiapolis ‘Joufual’, had taken a cuan OP for the better Buudav nicht.

The Churches.

At the Christian church Elder Halstead continued, for the present week, his series of doctrinal discourses. The venerable Father Havens preached at the M. E. church Monday evening. The Rev. Peter Hinds and Bro. Claypool following with short exhortations. The Free Will Baptist Society has purchased a lot of Gen. J* C. Van Rensselaer, the corner opposite and east of the new school lot, and propose erecting a house of worship the present year. One of the most prominent and reliable citizens of the town, and an oldiesident, states that a greater interest is now taken in religious matters in Rensselaer, than at any time for twenty years. The Free Will Baptist people still continue their series of meetings at the' Presbyterian church. At the last account we have received, eleven accessions had been made to the church, and the interest showed no signs of abatement. Note to the above:—A special service was held at the church today (Thursday) after which the ordinance of baptism was administered to 3 persons. The meeting of this evening will close the services. Owing to the exhausted physical condition of the pastor, there was %io preaching at the M. E., church last Sabbath, and an “experience meeting’, was held in place of the regular services. Some forty of thfi brethren bore earnest testimony of the Master’s love. The Free Will Baptist Sunday School enjoyed a sleigh ride to the farm of H. C. on Saturday last. There were over fifty in the merry party, and they enjoyed the ride and the cordial reception and treat extended by Mr; Bruce and family.

“I understand,” said a Delphi minister upon arising to address his congregation, “that some of my members complain about the length of my sermons. I notice, however, that the collections are remarkably short, and between the pulpit and the pew I think we strike a pretty good average.”—“Exchange.” The pastor and people of the M. E., church entered upon the fifth week of their series of meetings last Tuesday evening. The accessions to the church, up to Tuesday evening, number twenty, and the number is being increased, almost nightly. One or two features of these meetings are deserving of more than a passing notice. They are characterized by an intense and earnest zeal on the part of minister and members, but, at the same time, are. remarkably free from everything that looks like unnatural excitement. Those who have entered the church during the meetings are a’l, or nearly all, people of adult age and of mature judgment and understanding. What they have done has been done, as we believe, deliberately and with due reflection, and with a fixed determination to persevere. It may be added that Mr. Claypool is in expectation of ministerial assistance in the meetings of next week.

The Disciples of Christ are gaged just now in a spirited but friendly controversy as to the proper scriptural name of the church. While they have always ngreed to call themselves, as individuals, either “Disciples” or “Christians,” and as a religious denomination “Disciples of Christ,” yet there is a very serious lack of .uniformity iu designating their churches. As a religious body they have always opposed denominationalism and denominational names, and yet ; they very generally realize the inconvenience, both to themselves and others, of a failure to wt?ar one ceureh name in all parts of the land, as other religious bodies do 1 It is, therefore, probable that they* j will adopt the oulv name by which they have ever designated themselves to any considerable extent, which is not already adopted aud worn by some other religious body, I namely, the “Church of Christ,”, while still speaking of themselves! as the “Disciples of Christ. ’ They; claim to number between 6,000 and [ 7,000 communicants in the United .States, besides large numbers iu! Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Jarnaca and other parts of tne, worhi. —“BhiLd ’lphi.i Press.” t

The “District Reporter” is the name of a. neat little four page monthly paper, published at Battle Ground, and devoted to the interests of the M. E* Church, in the Lafayette District. Its editor is none other than that well known and honored son of Rensselaer, The Rev. J. H. Cissel D. D. Those who have an interest in the affairs of the M. E. Church, in this district, and wish to keep themselves thoroughly posted as to the same, can not do better than to send 50 cents to the Elder, at Battle Ground, and receive, in return, the Reporter for one year. The people of Lafayette have, undoubtedly, a due appreciation for, and a just pride in, their big new smut factory, otherwise the Gougar-Mandler slander suit, and the papers of that town are working it for all there is in it. Between the interminable wranglings of the lawyers, and the vast number of witnesses who have been subpenaed, there is every prospect that the trial will last for many days yet. Under the rulings of thd court Mandler’s lawyers are permitted to introduce any evidence tending to establish a generally unchaste character on the part of the plaintiff. For the sake of the causes with which Mrs. Gongar is identified, we have earnestly hoped that she would be able to prove, beyond question, the justice of her case, but we must admit, that so far as thecase has gone, the evidence against her is damaging in the extreme.

Oh, My Back! That’s a common expression and has a world of meaning. How much suffering is summed up in it. The singular thing about it is, that pain- in the back is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver complaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism,dyspepsia,overwork, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don’t neglect it. Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as Brown’s Iron Bitters, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and making the blood pure and rich. Wm. P. Marshall, of Ix>gansport, Indiana,writes: “ My wife has for many years been troubled from pain in her back and general debility incident to her sex. She has taken one bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters, and I can truthfully say that she has been so much benefited that she pronounces it the only remedy of many medicines she has tried/' Leading physicians and clergymen use and recommend Brown’s Iron Bitters. It has cured others suffering as you are, and it will cure you.’
