Biddi-son's lament." package was prepared by some of those who are now tearing down the church, but is not on that account appreciated the less by us. The picture is of the building just at the beginning of its destruction and could not have been more appropriately named than it was save by saying, "Folly and Ex travagance Illustrated." It is Biddison's lament," as it is that of a large number of the best element that has attended and supported the M. E. church here.

WTe have no de sire to speak further upon this question. We have not forgotten the old adage, "Admonish a fool of his folly and he will hate you." To those who prepared us the picture we return thanks. There is nothing dearer to us than the M. E. church- and its in terests and this memento will always be treasured personally, it will re call to us the able discourses of Rev.

McBirney, the christian zeal of Rev. Palmer, the eloquent sermons of Rev. Johnson, and many times when God's spirit camn close to us and we saw something of the riches of His grace. The congressional convention at Columbus on the 9th nominated Hon, B. W.

Perkins to succeed himself in this district. As contemplated no other name was presented to the con vention, where a full and enthusiastic delegation enjoyed a regular old fashioned love feast. The usual resolutions were presented and unani mously adopted, with the exception of the tariff plank which we here pre-eent in comparison with the customary protection ideas that have heretofore been presented. It is in this as elsewhere evident that Plumb and Blaine's views are takincr deep root in the minda of the average Kansas republican Plumb calling it tariff reform, and Blaino naming it reci procity. On the tariff they resolved thusly: Fourth.

Vfe favor such an adjust ment of the tariff schedules as shall best subserve the interests of a great nation, keeping in view as a matter of first importance the prosperity of agriculture and the laboring classes; adjusting the rates of duty that the best markets may be opened to the products of the soil and the shop, ever remembering the demands made upon the national treasury for present and future pension legislation in behalf of tho soldierB, and other ne cessary expenses of the government, and the interests of our western farmers. We endorse io the fullest extent tho principles of reciprocity among the nations of America, as ad vocated that great American statesman, James G. Blaine. Our F. M.

Bennefiel was honored by the convention with a place on the committee on resolutions and se lected to and mad the speech of the occasion at the evening love feast, an honor worthily bestowed and a credit our city. The great and only McFlynn Hall's alied railroad shows consist ing of two filats and one stock car arrived early Monday morning. They managed to muster up a few teams hero in the city to make their gorgeous parade. Six or seven cages with nothing in them, a den of prairie coyetes and monkeys, two elephants and a camel constituted the menagerie. But, take into consideration the fact that they had every thing that was not advertised on the bill boards and nothing that was, hey did very well.

As to the circus, well, it was worse than the parade, in fact, the Jimmy of the Jimmiest. The Gas V7ell. The long delayed pipe for the gas well arrived Monday night and Tues day and Wednesday was occupied in placing it in the well. Wednesday afternoon a stand pipe was erected near the well and when the gas was ignited it shot out an immense blaze ind continued to burn all night, but not until evening did the illumination develope to its fullest extent. Great sheets of fire leaped heaven ward, illuminating the whole city and for miles and miles around it could be seen.

Throngs of people visited the scene, until late in the night and notwithstanding the well has been allowed to stand twenty days with unrestrained exhanstion, yet the flow seems as full and strong as when first tapped. The natural gas problem of our city is fully solved, and that we have an immense supply is fully assured by this our first effort. Three weeks ago yesterday the vein struck, and yesterday's match ignited the first blaze which will mark an event of this ever to be remembered. :4 TAKE THE K. T.

Well, we have at last a competitor in the newspaper field He calls his production the Bark. The would-be editor hasn't sense enough to pour water out of a boot without directions. He's a redheaded thief. He rehashed our salutatory, and then has the gall to tell hia two or three readers that he expects to climb the ladder of fame.

Rev. J. L. Dyke came in yesterday morning from Oklahoma and spent most of the day shaking hands with his many friends here. Rev.

Dyke is one of the most justly popular gen tlemen who resides in this city, and always meets a hearty welcome by all. He remains only a few days. W'o are pleased to learn that C. H. Funk has a position at Wichita, Kansas, running the yard engine for the Mo.

On Tuesday the work on Hall Mathows block had reached completion so far as could bo accomplished, until the iron for the front should arrive, which csme Wednesday and to-day the men are placing it. This large fine structure will soon be numbered among1 our beat and most sub stantial blocks. Judge McCuo, on his way to Col umbus on Monday, stopped off a few hours to see his friends in this city. The Judge will a candidate for re election this fall, and his popularity with the bar and the people will place him there by a large majority.

He is not the candidate of any party or clique or ring. Oswego Statesman. We scent a social scandal in tho near nearness. It it continues to develops the public will get a whiff of it and great skeupiter what a jar our social structure will receive. The exercise of a little common sense and a grain or two of discretion on the part of those directly avert tho dreadful catastrophe.

Galena Republican. We arn looking for the same thing in CofTeyville. Nick Martin, one of the most pop ular caterers to tho eating public, has opened a lunch counter and billiard hall in the Masonic block, where he is now nicely located.

Davis, The Saddler. Strange as it may 6eem, there was not a church bell rang in this city last Sunday, an event that has not occurred before in more than fifteen years. The Methodist and Episcopal bells both being removed by reason of rebuilding their houses, and no services at the Baptist or Catholic churches, the Presbyterian and Christian churches having no bells, therefore the church goers assembled without the usual calls. The nieeting of the ex-Prisoners of War in this city yesterday by reason of want of advertising was not as well attonded by the. members of the society as was expected aud even to our own people it was quite a surprise, yet it resulted in a great success only, by the prompt and efficient efforts of the ladies of the Relief Corps who, notwithstanding the fact that they had no notice of the meeting until Monday afternoon, responded like trained soldiers and set an elegant banquet for Wednesday'3 dinner at the Montgomery building, served free to all, as also a supper in the evening.

The success of the occasion wa3 largely due to the executive ability and earnest efforts of Mrs. M. B. Taylor, Miss Sadie Kent, Mrs. James Skinner, Mrs.

and Miss Robb, Mrs. Dr. Stansbury, and others who" by presistent effort and determination, together with the invaluable aid of Joe McCreary, A. Rosser and others, all were, entertained and well pleased. Our young band under the leadership of J.

W. Dancy made their first debut and it was a very oeditable showing. The campfire in the evening at O. A. R.
