The GAZETTE invites attention to Nicholl's advertisement The following endorsement is from the Fort Wayne Daily News of ,, last Thursday: t* "Dr. Nichols who Came to this city nearly three months ago, expecting to remain only a few days, will finally take his departure on Monday next. During his stay, the Doctor has treated hundreds, possibly thousands, of patients, aDd his success has been in many cases remarkable. His treatment for catarrh is peculiarly effective, and as this disease is one of the most. prevalent in this section, he has had many aggravated cases, and effected as many cures. His diagnoses for tapeworm have also been uniformly correct, and in not a single instanoenas he failed to remove the troublesome visitor. Dr. Nioholls is, moreover, a gentleman of strict integrity in his profession. He will not delude a patient by groundless hopes, nor promise a cure where the case is hopeless but he succeeds in curing many cases that, others have pronounced incurable, and in this lies his popularity and forms the basis of his reputation. The News commends him to the fraternity as an intelligent advertiser and a square man." Dr. Nicholl's is at the National Hotel.

•!, .obituary.

The Rev. Wm. C. McPheeters. Rev. William C. McPheeters was born January 5,1821,. and died at his home in Honey Greek township, April 17,1885, aged 64 years.

Mr. McPheeters was educated at Greencastle, Ind., where, after pursuing the regular course of study, he graduated at the proper time.

Feeling himself called of God to enter the work of the ministry, he chose that of the Presbyterian church, and gave several years of the most active part of his life to that work. Most of these years were spent in the state of Missouri.

Failing health finally controlled him to relinquish his chosen work. He subsequently turned his attention to teaching, continuing, however, to reach as an opportunity offered or as ealth permitted.

About one year ago he returned to Indiana, hoping that the change of residence would benefit his wife's health, trat Divine Providence had ordered otherwise, and in the month of February she passed to her home on high.

While he cheerfully acquiesced in the will of God, in removing nis companion from him, yet that silent grief, which is natural to all, preyed upon his mind and resulted in his own sickness and death.

Brother McPheeters was truly a good man. That gospel which he preached to others, sustained him to the end. To him death was robbed of his terrors. He had "fought the good fight," and could rejoice in prospect of the crown of life laid up for him.

In his character he was upright and just in his manners mild and unostentatious in his intercourse with others, kind and obliging to all. The funeral services were conducted at the late residence, by the Bev. Mr. Fierce, after which his body was laid„away to await the resurrection morn. "Spirit, thy labor is o'er, 11 Thy term of probation is run— Thy steps are now bound for the untrodden shore, 5*' i'

RACES AND RACERS.

Rev. Breedei Has a Talk on the Subject.

RACES AND RACERS. A

Rev. Bremen's Sermon Yesteirda^ from Monday's dally. Yesterday morning the Bev. H. O. Breeden had a full house at the Christian church. He discoursed on the text: "They which ran In a race ran all, but one receiveth the prize. 8o ran that ye may obtain."—PauL

It will be seen from the report of the sermon which follows that the speaker takee liberally advanoed ground on this subject. He said:

For a week past the chief ^item of news for our daily papers has been the races and racers. In all departments and conditions of life their attractions have been discussed and their issues speculated over. On each day of the engagement crowds have gathered, embracing a motley varietv of human beings—men of wealth with a tendency to the turf, gentlemen of culture with an eye to excitement, roughs of every shade and degree, gamblers and thieves and swindlers and church people in abundance—all sorts of goodness and sin mingled together. Great excitement prevailed, as thousands of dollars had been tossed in the air to fall in divers places. The multitude came away discussing the races as if they were really the vital things of life. About all this, sentiment in church circles is divided. Hence our recent horse-races, and the American horse-race as an amusement aud an institution, opens a line of discussion and a question for settlement iu our minds almost as important as the great race which Paul wrote as he stood by a race-course centuries ago and saw the contestants whirl by, eager for the prize. I desire to go on record as exceedingly fond of fine horses. Job was, also, in his day. In that marvellous book that bears his name he uses the horse as the emblem of the nobleness and sagacity of the brute creation. "Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength he goeth on to meet the armed men." Indeed there is no reason why we should withhold admiration from

THIS NOtiliB iirfMAli,

whose praises have been sung in the poems and honored in the traditions of every nation, from Homer's wars to Sheridan's victory at Winchester. The man is to be pitied whose heart does not thrill with admiration for a fine horse. Another has said: "The bible honors the horse, and alone of all things of earth exalts him in the visions of tne latter day. Nearly one hundred times is the horse used in the figure and prophecy in God's word." I believe it is right to endeavor to develop and increase his beauty and utility. To be candid, I cannot see any more righteousness in a slow horse than a fast one nor is a mile traveled in ten minutes any more acceptable to God than one driven in three. And could it be obtained, I

NO REASON TO CENSURE A CLEAN TURF.

Assuredly itis not wrong to offer a prize for the largest apple or the finest corn or the best oration, and no more so for the swiftest horse or the fastest mile. Nearly everything in this life works by the law of rewards. Even heaven and eternal life are promised as prizes for a race. There is no essential evil In a fast horse nor in the man who owns and drives him nor in a trial of speed, nor in an association which fosters it. But betting and gambling is a great evil. It is this almost universal accompaniment of our modem races that I desire to lift up my voice against. Gambling is simply risking something in the chance of winning something, more valuable, at no price or no equivalent. It is the plague spot of our civilization. It is going on with alarming progress all around us. Not confining itself to racing or base-ball, it seduces our model educational institutions. Harvard, Yale and Princeton have all sought revenues from gambling enterprises during the last century.

EVEN CHURCHES INDULGE IN GAMBLING OPERATIONS

to liquidate a debt or raise a fund for church purposes. But in whatever guise it may oome, it is oontrary to the laws of the land and an outrage to fraternity, civilization and kinsmanship. It gives nothing it is a steal, with both accessory. It is a blood relation of cheating. It is destructive to morality. The common associations of gambling are bad. This vice inevitably destroys one's taste for simple pleasures, and everything that does so takes away the bloom of character. There are three ways of betting on horse-races aside from individual wager, says one: "What are called 'auction pools,' 'French mufrials' and 'book-making,' all of them one-sided, dishonest, and generally disastrous to every one but the dealer." The man who pays two dollars for a chance in a pool and receives in return $5, $25, $100, $1,000, or whatever his share may be, gets the money neither as a gift nor has he rendered an equivalent for it he has simply won it. The money lost is lost contrary to the wish, design, and consequently to the proper consent of the persons losing it while the winner holds it by no better right, according to the laws of strict morality, than

THE THIEF OR THE RORBER.

People ask, wherein is gambling a sin? The answer is plain, because it is a direct violation of the commandment, "Thou shalt not steal." It works ruin in the man who engages in it, by un healthy stimulants. Besides, it destroys the motives to industry. The young

who paid $2 for a chance in the races and won $100 is now thoroughly disgusted with the slow and conservative method ol earning a living as a clerk, at a salary of $50 a month. "Why work lie a slave," he asks, "for $50 a month, when I can make $100 in an afternoon and only risk $2 at that?" If he is not a person of uncommon decision changes

of character, this winning of a hundred dollars will prove the most unfortunate event of his life. It will kill him in all laudable ambition to achieve success on his skill and merit as a business w*" The danger, therefore, in horse-racing, as now conducted, consists in its effect upon the morala Aside from this tea. ture, which is a sort of dry rot, a devil whisper attaching itself to our trotting associations, there can bo no

The pastor then proceeded with apt comparison to discuss Paul's great description of the Christian race, its track, its judges, its hinderances, its rules of government, its prize at the end—the glittering crown held by the One at tLe celestial gate.

A New Ohio Party. {,

COLUMBUS, June 3.—The state convention under the auspices of the voters' union convened this morning, with the different sections of the state well represented. Hon. Milt. S. Gardner, president of the union, who was unable to be present, sent a letter in which he urged an importance of organization to secure resubmission to the people of the second amendment and making this a condition in the selection of candidates for the next Legislature. The letter also urged that national questions should be kept out, as th« issues between the old parties and temperance made the issue of the^coming election.

After John Kelly's Scalp,

NEW YORK, June 3.—The Sun this morning says that there is trouble brewing in Tammany Hall. The sickness of Jno. Kelly is being magnified by his enemies, who state that the grand Sachem's brain is weakening. The friends of Kelly deny this assertion. Last night an attempt was made to elect a Sachem by the anti-Kelly braves, but it was unsuccessful. The friends of Kelly appear to be in the majority, but in the absence of the chieftain the minority led by Richard Croker, seem to be able to cause considerable trouble.
