Some of Our Clothes are Better than others, but all of Our Clothes are Good. We do, not believe it Good Policy to drum the people with such advertising as we behold daily in our papers. It seems an insult to ask an intelligent community to believe some of the ads we see. For Instance we see in one of the ads. Pant worth $3.50, our price $1.48 Pants worth $4.00, our price 1.83 Panta worth $5.00, our price S.38 Suits worth $12.50, our price 7.48 Suits worth $15.00, our price 9.88 WE CREDIT THE PEOPLE OF OSHKOSH With Good Common Sense.

69 MAIIS STREET. ir the proffered seat upon a small bed-cot, under the mango tree, we request them to be seated and listen. "Have you come to -speak against our religion?" The question comes from a bhagat, or priest, with a red ochre mark upon his forehead and beads round his neck. "Why should I speak against your religion? You will do that yourselves before I have finished speaking." "Speak then!" "Listen to a parable. A man had malarial fever and dally drank medicine, but the more medicine Ihe drank.the worse he became.

Yet his learned friends Insisted upon praising that medicine, and cautioned him against any other. Should he keep on drinking It, or ought he to try another?" Chorus of voices: "Why, he should try another, certainly." "Well, there are some old men present among you. They can remember that many years ago this village had the same idols, priests, and temples as it now has. Thousands of sacrifices have been offered since then, and much worship has been done. The people of this village stole in those days, they gave false evldence.they committed adultery, and they were de plorably miserable and debased.

Are Uhey not the same today? Can you show me one really good man or family In this place? Then, has your Idol worship helped and blessed and improved you at all?" "No! What you say Is true, sa hib." Now the door is open for a gospel address, to which they attentively listen, except wihen they ask questions in the eastern fashion. At the conclusion of our task, I feel exhaused and suggest departure. But two or three of the men request to be baptized. II tell them about the man who began to build a tower without first counting the cost, and, wltih that keen Intuition characteristic of the Indian people, they at once grasp and appreciate the point. They will be visited a number of times, and when favorably reported upon, a day will be set apart for the baptismal service.

MISS PEDIX IS AT HOME. CAN, HOWEVER, CIVE NO ACCOUNT OF HOW SHE CAME THERE. Young Normal School Girl Who Disappeared MoiulHy Morning Arrived Home That Afternoon Mill Xh I nka hlie Is at School. Miss Li'bbie Pedix, the young Normal school girl who disappeared from her boarding place, 533 Algoma street, Monday morning, has been heard from. She is at her home near Fond du Lac.

She left her boarding place IMonday morning to go to si'hool. It can not be learned that she was seen at school but the ticket agent at the Chicago Northwestern depot observed a young lady, answering to the description given of (Mis3 Pedix, to come Into the waiting room of the depot between ten and eleven o'clock, She remained there for hours but was not seen after the 12:45 train went south. A letter received from her mother states that the girl arrived at her home near Fond du Lac between 1:30 and two o'clock Monday afternoon having evidently come south on the train which leaves this city at 12:45 o'clock. The strange part of it all that upon arriving home the girl could not tell how she had come there. In fact, she did not seem to realize that She was at home.

She seemed to think she was at school, and kept asking for President Albee and her program of work for this term. About five o'clock in the afternoon she had a 'brief lucid Interval, In which she recognized her surroundings. But she soon again re lapsed into her former mental condi tion. When the letter was written Tuesday afternoon the girl's mind was still confused. Her sad condition and her constant inquiries about her school work would Indicate that her mental abera-tlon Is due to over study and worry.

Those with whom she boarded 6tate that she has often complained of aching eyes and head, and that on Sunday eve ning she became mentally deranged. She "seemed to have recovered by Monday morning and seemed perfectly well when she left her rooms. Miss Pedix is sixteen years of age and quite a bright and attractive girl. She had been a student at the preparatory academy and had done successful work. She passed her examinations last week and was promoted to the Normal de partment.

FOOT BALL SATURDAY. Ripon High School Team to Visit This City. The High school foot ball team took a day off last Saturday, but that did not mean that it had gone out of business. On the contrary the boys have been working hard under the coaching of Prof. W.

P. White and Secretary Van Aiken of W. M. C. the latter of whom has been coaching the Normals during the season.

Mr. Van Aiken is an ex-member of the Beloit college team. The High school boys have been trying sev. eral new plays which look to be very ef fectlve In practice without an opposing line. How they will work against an opposing team remains to be seen.

The next game scheduled Is for next day, when the Ripon High school team visits this city. The game will be played Saturday afternoon at Combination park. The two teams have not aa yet come together this season, and as the strength of the Ripon team is not very well known here, it is difficult to pre dict the outcome of Saturday's game.

SOME OF THE WORK AND EXPER IENCES OF REV. A. W. PRAUTCH. Kldes on tha Back of a Tall Camel Teaching the Natives of the Villages the Trnth of the Christian Religion-Work Dona.

Rev. A. W. 'Prautch, who has but re cently returned from a two years' trip to India, where he went as a missionary for the Methodist Episcopal cfliureh thir. teen years agd, gives some very Inter.

estlfig accounts of his life and work while there. Mr. Prautch's recent trip was his second, he having previously spent eleven years at the work. Mr. Prautch speaks tihree Indian languages, the Hindustani, which Is the language of the northern part; the Marathi, spoken In the vicinity of Bonvbay and the Gujar which is the language of the people near Baroda, where the missionary has been located during the last term.

In speaking of his recent trip Mr. Prautch says: "I have been, as you know, accompanied on my trips by my wife, who is now ill. On our last trip we sailed from New York in January, 1S96, going to the Gujarat country, north of the Malhl r'ver. Our circuit embraces forty-eight villages in which there are converts. There are associated with me thirty-two pastor-teachers who are dis tributed over four sub-circuits each in charge of an experienced worker.

Most of Miese men receive the modest allow ance of $30 a year. WORK OP PASTOR-TEACHERS. "Their work is to instruct the converts in the essential truths of the gospel, hold meetings among them, conduct a day school for our Christian children, super. Intend several Sunday schools, bring in more converts and reacth out to new viU lagps. I travel about on this interesting circuit on the back of a large camel; when standing up his hump 1s nine and a half feet from the ground; he Is trained to sit down to allow two of us to mount, and on giving the order he stands up, one end at a time, and when ordered to sit down ihe does so to let us dismount.

The Indescribable sensation of camel riding the first few days can be best II- lustrated by fancying what would hap-pen to the contents of a tin peddlar's wagon If the horse ran away. Each in dividual internal apparatus seemed to be pitching or churning about, but grad. ually nature got the victory and I ceased to notice any unpleasant sensation when camel back. Since the 20th of March, 1S96, I have baptized 1057 converts, some In villages where we already have Chris-tlans, and others In new villages. PERSECUTIONS OF CONVERTS.

For generations the high caste people have oppressed the low caste people In every way. In some cases the villagers have granted the low caste people a small plot of ground for cultivation, and they receive the carcasses of all animals that die In the village. They eat the meat and sell the hide. And as a return for these favors they have to do any thing ordered, at any time of the day or night, by any high caste man. AVhen they work In the field all day their bene, factor graciously gives them some coarse food.

EFFECT OF CHRISTIANITY. On becoming Christians they no longer eat carrion, and with the gospel comes a feeling of manhood so they relinquish all these so-called privileges and begin to work for themselves. This compels the higiii caste people to hire work done that they formerly bullied out of the cringing low caste people. In answer to a calm assertion of their position and rights they usually get beaten. The law says no man needs to do "vet" (forced labor)against his wlll.but where wealth, influence, and veBted Interest is on one side and a despised dependent human being on the other, the law cannot be speedily set In motion and often the wheels clog.

I worked with the head man cf a village, where we have eleven Christians, to get him to see that as the Christian converts got nothing, directly or indirectly from the village, therefore the villagers had no grounds for their demand Chat these people shall work for nothing. His position was that the low caste always did do "vet" and they must continue to do it, and If they let these eleven "dance on their heads" all the low caste will turn Christian and the high caste people will have to hire help. I told him nothing was surer than this, and If he did not care to heed friendly advice from me I would have him up before the magistrate. CIUTEL TREATMENT. In tthe village of Ahima one of our first converts had the bone of his right forearm broken by a blow from a large bam.

boo club, and also a large scalp wound, by a high caste ruffian for letting us have a room for a school and to hold meetings In. It took ten days of my time to get this criminal punished, as a powerful faction was on the other side. He got two months rigorous Imprisonment and as he repeatedly refused to at-tend court his surety forfeited his bail also. A young man iri Mitapur, where I baptized nine converts, was beaten, knocked down, and walked on for being a Christian. I sent him to the Dakor hospital where he was for ten days.

Our converts are often prevented from drawing water from public wells, and in several villages the shopkeepers combined not to sell our converts anything. In the village of Chikhodra a mob of over a hundred heathen drove our Christians Into houses and amused themselves by smashing the roofs and fronts of their mud huts. The police were sent for and the mob turned on them for protecting the Christiana. Nine of the mob were arrested and punished. THEY EXPECT A SAVIOUR.

Hanuman the monkey-god, and Kali the fierce and bloody consort of Shiva, are the favorite idols worshipped. But they have a striking belief, to the effect that in the fullness of time there shall come to them a great deliverer, who shall break the bands of their serfdom, remove the stumbling blocks to their mental and moral advancement, and cause them to be equal with those who now oppress them. And his name 1s to be Nishkalank, the Spotless One! HOW THEY RECEIVE MESSAGE. And now let us enter a village.
