THE ATCHISON DAILY CHAMPION, WEDNESDAY, JI LT i. IW2. TRUE WAY OP LIVING. A number of Atchison Democrats who BUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL. The first annuel mid-summer confer The police court docket was large yesterday morning in consequence of the glorious Fourth.

Wm. Hurston was fined $20 for carrying concealed weapons, Sam Tyler, arrested on the same charge, had his trial postponed until tomorrow, as did YA Blsnchton for an assault. James Clark forfeited 10 for disturbing the peace, Newt. Jwhnson, the little colored boot hlack, was reprimanded by the Judge for being drunk. JeBsie Gordon and Lillie Rodger, two inmates of Alice Oliver's establishment, wre fined 15 and 10 respectively.

lySf IT IB RETRIBUTION. Tbr report nf a very occurrence eompfl from pliti, It is stated open whit eeeti. in tv reliable author that efTern! weks gi Bible tieDt in twp rnumls oT that town tolicit-iri(f nrders for the JIly Writ, caflf at the ii'Uiie of family th-hemls of are prnDOuticrrl peptics. When the Bible agent mHrie known his mission the mo'her or thn hnunehuld peremptorily orrler-d turn out of the house, remarking at the time that she would as soon have the devil in the house as that book. Two week ago ibe mother gave birth to a child which is as near the personification of Old Nick as i twible for a new born infaut to lie.

Il has home growing out o' the upper art of its head t's hands and feot are suppled wi'h devil's clans, and it has a wild, demontaeiil expression of contenaDce ami glaring, HaBhlng Tue cl i was still living a day or two ago and was apparently healthy and vigorous for its age. Hundreds of people have visited the home to see the frrakauil all are permitted to look at' and exnmin It. The involuntary remark of aearly every one upon seeing the little creatine and knowing of the incident first above mentioned, is that, it is a divinu retribu-tiou upon the scollirig mother, and it ie 6aid she is iuclined to so regard it One th Thtnars We Wtmy lrrn from the Peoples of JCnrope. Neurastheny, without Question one of the most terrible afflictions, has within the past decade carried off hundreds of America's brightest professional and business men. Paresis, neurosis and similar diseases are the direct result of an exhausted nervous system.

It has been said so often that as a nation we live too fast that the remark has de generated into a mere platitude. And yet it is fall of meaning. Unfortunately, while no one disputes Hs correctness, those who should heed the warning it contains unctuously apply it to one or the other of their acquaintances whose mode of life may justify criticism. Althouah deplorable, it ia neverthe less true that ths avai-actr American jwlll aacriSc health, enjoyment, recrea tion, everything; essential to physical and mental corn fort, to the chase for riches. Even in the midst of a summer outing his thoughts are bent on money- matting sohemes.

Boys grow up with the demoralizinir idea that the accumu lation of wealth is the principal, if not the only, aim of life. Ours is a protrressive nation, but we have not yet learned to make the most life. We acquire monev raoidlv. spend it prodigally, but refuse to take the time necessary to enjoy the pleasures for which we pay so dearly. Among the things we can learn from the peoples of Europe is rational enjoyment and wholesome recreation.

The English, German and French business men always find leisure to blend labor with recuperation. When they have acquired a competency, they retire from active life and devote the rest of their existence to pet hobbies, travel and ob servation. A nation of nervous men may for a time conquer the world, but in the long-run the stolid, plodding emigrants from other countries will acquire its possessions. The startling Increase of insanity, paralysis and neurosis which is reported from every state of the union, points out the danger which threatens our country. The teachers of ethics and philosophy in our colleges and universities have a grand opportunity to bring about needed reforms in our national life, provided they can concentrate their minds on practical affairs.

The rising generation must be taught the true mission of existence, whloh is nothing less than a high regard for the welfare of our fellowmen and our posterity. G. W. Weippiert, in Chicago Graphic. PROSPECT PARK ASYLUM.

4 Fun In Parliament; An amusingr story la told of a oertain occasion in the house of commons, when one Thomas Massey Maeeey moved that the church of Henry VTJL should get rid of the name of "mas" ia Christmas and substitute in place of the too Bomish expression the more Saxon osa "tide," Urns, "Chris tide," aaya Llfe O'Connell, who happened to be present and who was seldom at a loss for th right word at the right time moved that "as the honorable gentleman prized the old Saxon so muoh, he would do well to begin at home, namely, to' Saxonize his own name. Let him do away with tbe 'mass' in Thomas Massey and put his beloved tide' in the place of it, thus: Thotida Tidey Tideyl' Needless to say that the house roared at the complete turn of the tables on the objoctor to the mas' in Christinas. from the city, in a high, dry, large and roomy. It is the most the state, and for neatness and treatment free. Ad- TT 3.yFlg.

ABSiRACT claim to be "middle of the road" Democrats are discussing the propriety of or ganizing a club. Their course, however, will depend upon the action of the state conventien. E. C. Post and B.

P. Waggener, delegates to the Democratic stateconventlon, will not attend. Both expressed themselves as bitterly opposed to fusion with the People's party. Mr. Waggener says fusion means the annihilation of the Democratic party.

The average yield, per acre, of wheat last year In Kansas was 18 bushels. The lowest estimate we have seen of this year's crop is 25 bushels. There are any number of fields that will yield 40 bushels to the acre. And the quality never was equaled. A couple from the country spent most of the Fourth in Atchison hunting for Judge Bean'to secure a marriage license-After getting weary in the search they became disgusted and went to Winthrop where they seemed to think they could get married without a license.

The game of base ball between the office boys of the Missouri Pacific at this place and the boys at the Central Branch shops en the Fourth, resultcdjin a victory to the former. It took ten innings to settle the score which stood 16 to 13 in favor of tlie office nine. Gen. Weaver, the People's party candidate for president haB visited this city many times and relatives and many personal friends here. He was a son of the Abram Weaver and is a brother to Geo.

J. Weaver, Mrs. II. B. Horn and Mrs.

Geo. W. Taylor. Mr. Van Pelt, editor of the Craig, Mo.

ile.teor, went to a drug store at Hillsdale Iowa, and asked the physician in attendance to give him a dose of something for cholera morbus and looseneBs of the bowels. He says: "I felt so much better the next morning that I concluded to call on the physician and get him to fix me up a supply of the medicine. I was surprised when he handed me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar- rbrra Remedy. He said he prescribed it regularly in his practice and found it the best he could get or prepare. I can testify to its efficiency in my case at all events." For sale by all druggists.

A large number of People's party del egateB returning from the national cob vention at Omaha were in the city last evening. Atchison seemed to be a dis tributing point for them and while some would take trains for Kansas points, others were bound for Texas. Georcia. Missouri and other Btates. In addition to these delegates the trains Arriving were heavily loaded with people returning from Fourth of July excursions and visits and in consequence the union depot platform was packed.

The switch, en glnes were busy doing their work and every time that a coach or train would be started some one or a half dozen or more of these delegates would stampede across the platform after the moving car. One ean, lank, cadaverous Texas delegate with a Weaver badge and lone linen duster took after a train being run up in the yards to switch and chased it from the union depot nearly as far west as Fifth street, where he overtook it and boarded the front end of a blind baggage car as the train stopped and a few min utes later he was sailing down into the lower yards and landed amongst the freight cars in the lower yards, only to walk back to the union depot and wait to be shown his train. The railroad bovB laughed until their sides ached and De potmaster Dougherty swore, but it was all of no consequence, these fellows had been allowing wild vagaries and fancies float around in their heads at Omaha bo long that they were as liable to chase a hand car out ot town as to board a pas senger train. I THE CELEBRATION AT EFFINGHAM Most of our prominent Atchison peo ple, also visitors from St. Paul, St.

Louis Kansas City and other various points, left on the Central Branch yesterday morning, to spend the Glorious Fourth at Effingham.
