Stick to him Bro. Chapman. •mmmmmuiimwi T«rm» ftt.oo Ytar, $i.oo for Six Months. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1878. The Windom Reporter offers to bet a mug of beer that the Worthington ADVANCE will be a representative of the National party. If the Reporter will wager soda water, Chapman, of the St. James Journal, will take the bet quicker than scat.—Fairmount Sentinel. A young man who fainted at a camp meeting was sadly disappointed. He thought that a dozen men would rush up, pull whisky flasks out of their pock, ets, andandgive him whisky torevive him. The flasks were forthcoming, but they didn't contain enough liquor to moisten his lips. He fainted too late in the day. The yellow fever continues to rage with desolating fury in Southern cit ies. Money and nurses are being daily sent to the relief of the sufferers from Northern cities, and yet the disease seems to be on the increase. Grenada, a town with a population of 2,500 be fore the seonrge, lias become complete ly depopulated, not a dozen people now remaining. Geo. Erancis Train sends greeting to Communist Kearney, as follows: "Those 36,000 votes in California are mine—not yours. You are sneezing on labor snuff I took ten years ago! You are cackling on greenback eggs Ralston offered me a $20,000 check not to lay in 1869! Your warkingmen are just waking from your Rip Van Wink le sleep after. I have been dragged through fourteen jails for fighting your battles! You have been hired to naus eate labor to sicken intelligence to disgrace workingmen." The following good advice to farm ers, we find in the Anamosa Eureka: "The lightning rod swindlers (who nre mostly inflationists) are operating in Iowa. Don't sign any paper what ever, no matter how it looks or what scamps say. If you sign you'r surcfof one thing, and that is—you will find youiself infernally cheated, victimized, sold, and must pay five or fifty times the amount or lose your farm. Don't sign anything. Keep your hand thor oughly divorced from pen, ink, and paper, when the glib scoundrels come around. Kick them off your premises, and let them talk to the winds." There is a good deal of goodness among badness. The keeper of a fash ionable Chicago house of ill-fame the other day sent $206 to the yellow fever sufferers at Memphis, and the same woman, a year ago, distinguished her self by rendering valuable assistance to the authorities in Chicago during the scarlet fever epidemic there. The Chicago Times speaking of the matte says, with bitter sarcasm, that the Mayor's appeal the Godly portion of the city, in behalf of the yellow fever sufferers, yielded a single $5 bill. Do we live inthedark ages? Recent ly in the State of New York one of the prominent sectarian colleges removed tie Professor of Geology, because in his lectures to the class he had hinted that the Mosaic account of creation could not be sustained by science. Christian bigotry and intolerance could not stand such an allusion to its cherished dog ma. The professor was informed that his teachings had a tendency to seduce the students into the embrace of what is known as liberal Christianity. Surely orthodox Christianity is having a hard time of it. SHADOWS. The Genevan Bard has exchanged "shadows" with those four "handsom est men in town" recently taken in a group, and now we can "gaze on the linements," as Artemus Ward used to say, of the poet-bond-holder. Not a ^'bloated bondholder," though, for he is a slender, intellecntal-looking man, who would pass for an editor most any where. He first sent a picture of tie editor's brother, a fat-as-a-pig and round-as-a-tick looking man, but this was "too thin" notwithstanding his size. (He fills up the picture and runs over on both sides.) Parsons and Al ley put their wits together and decided thit "fatty" wasn't the poet. Then Plumer had to come down with three or four Paper currencies representing the solid gold behind them. Here is what the post says of the quartette. I, with friendly ban 1 have set. Doubly ltrin, my shade quartette, in the in atc.st little frame, Ever known by such a name, And theflyHut deigns to light, On those biows of gidd.f bight, Must politely leave tils card Of iegiels, sir uldaught be marred, Or he w.ikcs to watch their bard. VICTOR HUGO. Dr. J. M. Peebles, in a recent letter, says: Victor Hugo! I never met h.'m but once, and that was at a spiritual se ance in Paris. Recently he opened the Literary Congress in Paris in a masterly oration. The English prees pronounces it a "masterpiece of schol arship and eloquence," but innocently forgot, and continues to forget, to tell the reading public that Victor Hugo is a Spiritualist. Continue in your course—continue to conceal the spiritual belief of the great man of the world, oh, ye cring ing, wax nosed, policy-seeking prigs of the press—but remember that your day of Judgment will come! Hold on, Doctor, hold on! We are not all "cringing, wax-nosed, policy seeking prigs of the press!" Light is breaking. Scores of editors are becom ing convinced that Spiritualism is Cod's own truth coming to save the world. Give us poor, priest-ridden, theology-blinded, church-manacled, creed-bound fellows a little more time. We are getting the shells off our backs and will soon stand forth, free chick ens, every one of us. Scores of us are investigating, and no honest man can investigate Spiritualism a week with out being convinced of spirit-return and communication. It is a matter of scientific demonstration. He who runs may read. The wayfaring man, though a fool, need not ere therein. Only those who are afraid of the church and of Mrs. Grundy, refuse to to investigate. Some of us know as well as yon do, that three-fourths of the leading thinkers of Europe and Amer ica are Spiritualists. Be "easy" on us poor editors, Doctor, be "easy." THE WILT PlllEST. QEN. SHERMAN'S GRIEF AT THE LOSS OF HIS SOX. Iii the A A N E of April 25, speak ing of the McCroskey and similar af fairs, we said: They are, however, men of "like pas sions" with other men, have excep tional opportunities, are trusted im plicitly by the wives and daughters of men who oppose and dislike them as a class, and hence have things veiy much their own way. They stand between husband and wife in religious matters, unless the husband is willing to follow the wife who is led by the minister, and the religious education of the chil dren is left to tho woman and the priest or preacher, and hence it is the rule with men who are uotchurchmembers, to avoid religious conversation at home, Men who are to free to be bound be the clergy, and whos reason is to strong to accept any of the religious say terns, feel that the submission of their wives and children to church and ministe rial control in religious matteis is the price they must pay for domestic peace. Aud as domestic peace is their only heaven they do submit. Thus it is that the clergy gain and keep their as cendency. Recently we made mention of the f«3t that Gen. Sherman's son, without consulting his father and in direct op position to his father's wishes, had de cided to enter the European monastry and become a Romish priest. Relow we give a recent Chicago dispatch re relating to this matter, and ceitainly we could not ask for a more conspicu ous fact making good evei word of the above extiact from the A A N E written several months ago: The Inter Ocean to-moi row publish?s an interesting account ot the crushing effect on Gen. Sherman of the depart ure of his favorite son for an European monastery. The Genera! is as much of foe to Catholicism as his wife is a ieiul, aud the reason that he lives apait from his family (he in Washington and they in St. Louis) is that he will not toler ate the presence of a priest under the same roof with him, Mis. Sherman is the most ardent lay worker that the pope nas in America. She stands high in the counsels of the chinch, botli at home aud abroad and her name is as familiar in Rome as the name of St. Agatha, although she was never tlieie in her life. She is the trustee in this country of Petei 's pence, the otfei iugs of devout Catholics to the pope's pn vate treasuiy, and shoitly befoie lie died, on the occasion of his pontificate, the late Pous IX, sent her a losaiy of solid gold with a fragment of the ttuo cross in the crusifix as a gun Her home in St. Louis is the home and headquarters ot all the migratory priests of Ameiica. She is admitted to all the confidence of the chinch, and bishops aud archbishops go to her for advice. On the contraiy, Gen. Slier man hates a priest with a profound hatred despisis their methods and curses their cross sis the destroyer of his home. Gen. She. in knew noth ing of his son's conviction and his de sires to enter the priesthood weie not imparted to his father until ill the ar rangments were made. When the de cision was announced to him, Gen.en Sheiman is said to have groaned witli sorrow, and he has not since seen his wife and son. Before leaving for the monasteiy in Euiope, young Sheiman wrote a letter to his law preceptor in which he said: "My father, as you know, is not a Catholic and therefoie the step am takirg seems as startling and as strange to him as I have no doubt it does to you. My dear sir, I go without his appioval, sanction or consent, in fact, in direct opposition to his best wishes in my behalf." WORTHINGTON BY GASS LIGHT. The Windom Reporter man has been down on a visit to the metiopolis, and here is what he has to say concerning us: In company with the senior publish er of this paper, we visited the self-es timated metropolis of the southwest ern universe, one evening last week, formerly known as Okabena, which many would now pfefer to call it rath er than that long jaw-breaking name of W-o-r-t-h-i-ii-g-t-o-n, even if Pi of. Humiston did "steal the thunder" of the Worthington family who at one time run the politics ot Ohio. It is a little over seven years since we first "sot" foot on Okabena soil, and well remember how the whole party wished tliey had long-legged rub ber ooots or a small steamer to navi gate up the now piincipal street, and in the day time at that. Now, instead of wanting rubber boots, biich canoes, & c, the streets are well skirted with sidewalks aud a countiy editor can parade the streets with his "slimed up" boots and a "brick in his hat" with as much dignity as a Ne York 11 strutting up Rr-oadway, under the glare of gasslight, for Worthington, too, supports a street lamp at eveiy corner, and he who commitis depredations must "get into a limber yard," or skulk down some back alley. Really their street lamps have lighted out all the "roudyism," and even our dignified friend of the A A N E can promenade with the ladies with immunity, and so long as those "lamps hold out to burn the vilest sinner may leturn"' by paying the Journal $2 a year in Advance. But in fact Worthtngton's street lamps area gieat improvement, and "set off" the town, which may be proud of her position in the southwest, to great advantage, and a stianger en tenng Uie town at night at once thinks it is a city of no mean importance, awaking in the morning in a mighty good town for a seven-year old, enjoys a breakfast with McMauus or Dan Shell that can only be equalled in Win dom's new three-story biick hotel Mr. Clark is now building, which will so~n eclipse anything along the Sioux City road in shape of hotels. Friday was a hot day, and everybody, including the bulchdors and widowers were out promenading in the cool even ing air with ladies attached to their elbows, leminding us of biother Mil ler's recent comments—"just this way." &c, "only 25cents for a double distill ed one," but we venture the asseitiou that A. P. didn's pay a qnaiter tor "hisn" that night. We met Messrs. Giuelle & Lindsay on the street and talked politics till the lamps ceased to burn, and then went over to MeManiis'and found as gord a bed as any first-class l.indloid owns, and by the way, Mac. keeps as square a house as a traveler oug'it to stop at. He knows how to run a good hotel and is receiving the rewaid of a faith ful hotel keeper. Bennett & Grisseirs new brick store makes a line appearance, and is the best structure in town. The old Miller Hall ruins lies in the light of the street lamps, as a monu ment of misplaced funds, if not confi dence, and the mystery of its burning is the chief excitement now. WHERE THEY HAVE US. An honest Mohamedan savs: "God has given to you English many excel lent gifts. You build fihe houses and splendid ships of war and commecre that sail across the seas. You make fine cloth and cotton and sharp pen knives, and you write many learned bo »ks, dictionaries and grammars. All this is the gift of God but there is one thing which God has hidden from you and has revealed to us, and that is, a knowledge of the only true religion by which a man can be saved." It is warranted to cure all diseases of the blood. Dr. Bull's Blood Mix ture will free yon of Pimples, Boils, Blotches and Eruptions of the Skin. ADRIAN, MINNESOTA. Two years ago, in the last days of July, the track-layers on the Worth ington & Sioux Falls Railroad reached the banks of the Kanaranzi. It was midway between Worthington and LuVerne. The site was "beautiful for situation." The country surround ing it was rich and invitinp. From the summit of the bluffs that bordered the river the eye turned north, south, east and west, over hill, prairie and stieam—a vision of beauty. "What a grand site for a new town," was the exclamation of the leader. And it was then and there decided, that a town should be on the spot. The truth of history compels me to say that the "scared squaw's birth ca noe" was not frightened from the wa ter of the Kanaranzi by the "smoking and raving" of the iron horse, but it is literally true that the city lots "Were staked for sale. Above old Indian graves." Rut half a score of years ago this had been the home of the red man, and you can now count on the fingers of one hand the years that have passed since the first white man built his claim shautyty on the banks of the stream that wanders through these prairies. A month after the town was located, a boy, not yet of age, heard of the new town on the "road." Placing his house on wheels, he dragged it wearily, with his own oxen, seven miles across the praiiis, and thus "erected" the first dwelling in Adrian. He found already on the ground an enterprising mer chant, with his hexes and bales of goods scattered over the grass, engag ed in building a store. This wa3 the beginning of Adrian. To-day it is one of the "prairie wonders." The streets are broad and clean, and lined with shade trees. A beautiful park of six acres, the gift of the railroad company, has been planted .vith forest trees, and a school house has been built that would be a credit to any community, ft is 283S feet in size, two stoiies in height, with 12 feet ceilings, and fur nished thioughout with the latest im pioved school fuiiiituie, and is painted, plastcicd and paid for. In a few weeks a bell is to be added and the ground enclosed and improved. Ho many towns of the size and age of Adrian have such school buildings? Here is a people just euteiiug on the second year of their exiatauce, who have cheerfully paid fifteen Hundred dollars toward making a pleasant school home for their children. It is a better invest ment than a dozen saloons or billiard halls. This scho,.l-house, the park, the neatly painted buildings of the village, the llo.veis that peep through the win dows and nestle in the front yards, tell unmistakably of the character of the people. One of the first things the people of Adiian did, was to organize a Union Sunday School, aud establish tegular church seivices, and faithfully have they maintained both. Last season oyer 100,00 bushels of grain was shipped from this point. What the shipment of this year will b. is conjectuied at present, but they will much exceed these figures. The grade of the wheat is geneially dam aged, hut the yield will he fully up to theaveiage.—Cor. Pioneer Press. riilTY J-uhOERY. On Saturday last, a young man, ap parently about IS to 20 years of age, presented an older at Lidger wood's D:\ Goods store, purpoitiug to be giv by D. A. Jones, of South Rend, for $13.4o. lie claimed to have worked for Mr. Jones, but the order was so bungliugly drawn, and the signature I to pooi an imitation, that Mr. Brown, the cashier, leiustd to pay it, but sent a messenger to Mr. Jones to notify him of the matter. Soon after, the some paity presented at the store of Prael & DuRuisson an order upon them for $8. 15, from the same gentle man, claiming that it was the amount due from Mr. Jones, for whom he had woiked. Mr. Jones had not been in the habit of dealing at this store, and that ct led Mr. DuRuisson to sus pect its genuineness, and comparing it with Mr. Jonts's real signature at the Citizens Bunk, the forgery was quite evident. That gentleman always appends "jr." to Ir.s name, and this was (mitted. The attention of the chief ot police was calhd to the matter, and he arrested the young man. Up on interingaliiig him he l'ust claimed tobefio St. Peter, and aftei wards to live at LuYeiie. He was not so positive that Mr. Jones had signed the oiders, but was quite confident he had given them to him. lie was taken be foie Justice Leonaid, who committed him to jail, to answer to the chaige of forgery. It a'fterwards was ascertained that a similar older for $t.15 had bteu presen ted at Mr. Puidy's, and that gentle man, assuming it to he all right, and knowing Mr. Jones to be peifectly le sponsible, cabbed it. The money was found the piisonei's possession, and is now in the nands of the sheriff. He also presented and had cashed at Meaghei & Busch'san order for !S 15. After his arrest, and when piessed by the chief of police, Andeisou admit ted the foigeiies. It seeaisthat lie arrived here on Sat urday morning from the west, and soon after made induiries as to the largest and most responsible farmers in this vicinity. Homy Shsiubut and D. A. Jones weie named and he made further inquiries as to wheie they Jiv ed, and gained in this manner, gener al information as to these gentlemen and their faims. Without visiting ei ther he wrote the oiders. COUNTY NEWS. WESTSIDE. The threshers when last heard from were at Messrs Staid and Voightlaud ers place.

E I O A A N E Since writing my last article, I have been reinvestigat ing the system ot Spiritualism, but have met with nothing to change my views as to the fact that Spiritualism is and must necessarily be demoraliz ing in its influences on society and I still think that the remarkable words of Paul "Now the spirit speakith ex pressly that in the latter days some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil," applies with very great force to the present age and gives the character of the spirits consulted and the persons who consult them. And I think Paul is very well supported by the persons who havejbeen called up to testify and and who affirms that Spiritualism is the work of evil spirits and evil spirits alone, and this fact I want to make very prominent and for that purpose shall introduce the testimony of Mrs. Hatch, one from the very heart of the Spiritualistic ranks. This I trust will be acceptable to the Spiritualists although dealing a heavier blow against it for its great corruptions than any we have introduced yet. Mrs. Hatch is one of the most prominent and popu lar mediums to be found among Spirit ualists. She, seeing the corrupting influence of the system upon the pollut ed Infidel hordes who embrace it, made a bold attempt at reforming them. A hopeless task. In a lecture delivered in New York City, January 19, 1862, entitled "Theory and Practice," she says: TIKTJ isi doubt that the shaft which Spiiitualism lias sunk has struck the vein of that floating population in the United States and other countries wh form a large class who have never be lieved in anything, but are ready to adopt any form of belief as occasion may require. They are the destruct ives w!:o tear down old edifices indis criminately and put up nothing in their stead. They decay Christianity and all other supports of law and order recognized by society, and in their hands Spiritualism has become one of the most preposterous systems both as totheoiy and practice ever brought before the community. Thus it hap pens that we have as advocates of Spir itualism all the offscourings of society in a new shape, and when the world recognizing thete as leaders in our ranks, it stands aghast and says, „why these are the old nuisances revived." Thus Sp'ritualism is but another name for that which leads to immorality and the tearing down of all that is dear and sacred in our institution. It opposes Christianity and even seeks to violate the sanctity of the fireside, and we are sorry to state that the conduct of those in geneial who profess to be Spiritual ists confirms this judgment, and soci ety has too good grounds for complaint and apprehension." The general tendencies of Spiritual ism have been not to elevate but to degrade its disciples in the moral and social scale, to break down all barriers which have been considered essential to a well ordered community. Thous ands have been led to do what they knew to be wrong because they have been assured that spiiits directed it. Mrs. Hatch has been belli.id the cur tain where she has seen apart of what has been hid from the public gaze. She says, Spiritualists have generally the reputation of being impure, athe istical, everything in short that is im proper and unsafe." There is usually some ground for opinions so widespie id. With sorrow we say it, manv are the families that have been desolated by it, many thous ands are the hearts and minds which have been broken and owrtluown through this fatal delusion. Thus we see that Spiritualism is simply the work of devils and a stream does not rise above its fountain. Wicked men and seduceis wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.
