For a little place, it waa the original Kanaaa borne of quite a number of bright and talented men wbn bare been known to State fame.

Tbe reckless Charley Lenhart, famous in early days in Kansas, almost bad bis ehnnk pat out at Geary, while on a drunken raid.

UNIFORM ISUOTJXT on all goods purchased, of any amount whatever, to go towards paying in part or in full (according to amount of goods purchased), Railroad Fare and Expenses to and from St. Joseph. In order to secure the discount, all that is necessary is for customers, AFTER HAVING MADE THEIR PURCHASES, to announce that they are from out of town, stating where they are from, when the discount will be immediately deducted from the amount of their purchase. As the majority of the firms signing this agreement have their goods marked in PLAIN FIGURES, and are absolutely ONE PRICE, it will be seen that out of town customers are placed exactly on the same footing and pay the same prices for their goods that people do who live in St.

Some of the brainless yaps of our community have discovered a new joke, that is af fording them any amount of fun Tbe joke is to raise an alarm of fire, and then laugh at tbe people for turning out. This funny business bas been repeated several times, and, because tbe jokers bave inflooence wid de court, tbsy bave not been punished. Some night they will sound tbe alarm, and the citizens will turn out and fire the funuy gentlemen off tbe bridge with ropes around tbeir necks. Mr.

Some of our citizeas are agita ting tbe question of raising funds for a University, similar to the one at Highland.

Conpnlsory Na lliitlt 0rr Taarc Et. Chief Permit me, through the col- I onina of your paper, to say a few words in regard to tbe "Christian Sabbatb," which subject, at the present time, is eaaaing saeh a stir in our land ef religious freedom. Rev; Atherton says, in tbe Times of laft week: "If we want anarchy to ran mad in this esnutry. establish tbe rule that each one is to be a law onto himself, and follow the inclinations of bis own depraved heart, and be accountable only to God on tho day of judgment, ami yon bave accomplished your object." "That in order Christianity may succeed, there must be a proper observance of tbe Sabbath in all parts of our land; aud this cannot be aoleas backed np by some law binding all men." To what a state baa the religion of onr land come. if.

ia order to its success, it has to call to it aid tba eivil laws I And what would become of oar land of boasted religious liberty, if snch were to bo the easef When it come to a union of Church and State, farewell to both. Does tbe Rev. gentleman think that if we had a Sabbath law in thi count rv, "binding all men to ita observance," anarchy would be less ram pant than at the present timet If so, he surely does not nuderstand the human heart. Hen cannot be compelled to yield obedience to God's law; and if they could, it wonld be only in form, without the fervor thereof, and of such we have far too many now in tbe churches. Without further remark at thi time on thi subject, we will lay before yonr readers the following extract from an article on tbe Sabbath by the Rev.

Harvey D. Ganse, in the Interior, in its issue of Octol er 4, 1888, After speaking of the relation of the Sabbath law to the Israelite, he cays: "But to our nation tbe Sabbath sustain no such relation as this. Our Government is shaped and upheld by tbe consent of the governed. Of these, some believe in God, and religion, and the Bible and the Church; and some believe in only a part of these, or in none of them. Now, if God had in any miraculous way, taken us in band, a he did the people of Israel; if he had put over na any Moses whose divine appointment and competency be vindicated by indisputable aigns, the laws of God given to us through such a channel would be as authoritative among all onr people a were God' ancient law among the Hebrews.

But we bave no Moses, and no miricles. We bave indeed tbe ancient records confirmed and illustrated, aa Christiana are conviuoed, in the most satisfactory wsys. Therefore, Christians believe in God's lasting law. And some Christians bold that because tbey themselves are sure of tbe authority and meaning of that unchanging law, it is not only their right but their duty, whenever they are in adequate majority," to require every citizen to accept aud conform to tbe law just as the majority understand it. "It was not upon that footing, however, that this nation was established; but upon this Every mau's conception of God's will is to be of absolute authority with himself, so long as it does not lead him into acts which invade tbe rights of others; and no man, no majority, nor the whole nation is to compel any man to do toward God any act which be prefer not to do.

No more shall they prevent a man from doing any act toward God which he chooses to do, so long as his acts ae not injurious. The religious conscience of every man, while it keeps to its own proper function, is to be supreme, both in acting and abstaining, and the civil law is not to assume the least authority over it. This principle of absolute liberty in matters religious is the only one upon which such a nation as this is possible. "If, therefore, the attempt could be made, by whatever majority of Christian citizens, to compel tbe rest, who have not religious faith in the Biblical Sabbath, to revere and observe the day as though they bad, every person of real intelligence should resist the attempt, by all the manly means in his power. And this he should do for three reasons: Iu the first place, he should recognize bis neighbors religious rights, and honor them, because they are rights.

And iu so doing he should be sure in the second place, that he would be acting in the true interest of religion, since nothing can make religion more offensive to free men, than to find it fastened about tbeir necks by men's hands. And furthermore, a wise self-interest would bind any Cbrixtian to this course; for he should ask himself, 'If my religious con. science, when 1 am with the majority, cau compel other people, why may not other people's religious consciences, when I am in the minority, compel met "Such considerations, it would seem, ought to convince every right msnded American Christian that his views of tbe religious duty of Sabbath keeping, while it ought to be very authoritative with him aud his household, ought by no means, to be incorporated into American civil law.
