Iu die article from the Kansas City
Times upon Kansas journalists and also in
the brief mention of it as they appeared hi
these columns 3'csterday morning tncre
were somy errors. Iu the coirmeut item it
should have read "size" of his pocket
book, icotcid of "use," etc., and in con
clusion of the article proper the editor is
made to say Ui..l he does not want any
thing outside of his "name," etc., when it
should have read "home." These mistakes,
while they may seem trivial to the reader,
are annoying and vexatious to the writer,
inasmuch as they smack of an egotism un
lookcd for in the modest gentleman, and
not at all befitting the subjeel of this matter.

"Ten thousand people have moved away
from Kansas City within the last three
years." John F. Phillips in Congress
It is expected that Dr. Phillips will join
the procession of emigrants, ducc the
voters of Kansas City sat down on his con.
gressional aspirations Tuetdivy.
One-boy in Springfield, Mass., is so
bright that he has got into the newspa
pers. The brightness consisted in asking
his school teacher how far a procession of
the Presidents of the United Slates would
reach if th"y were placed in a low. "When
bup. gave it up he answered: "Fiom "Wash

Abratn 8. Hewitt lias been elected mayor
of Kcw York, but the vote given Henry
George indicates that the sceiah'.sts and an
nrchkUi as a political element in the met
ropolis arc not to be despised. It is, of
couiv, conceded that thousands of honest,
order-loving woillingmcn voted for him,
but by far the gieatcr portion of -
strength undoubtedly came from the class
es which, if Hipy had this power, would
subvert the present order cf things. The
vote show i thai thousands of ItpuMicans
who would have voted for Roosevelt if that
gentleman and Hewitt had been the only
c.u didatcs in the field Tuesday cast their
"ballots for nev.-itt in order to more fully
assure the defeat of Henry George. New
York gets a belter iL-iyor than it has had
for year.? past, but i would have secured a
still more efficient officer if it had chosen
Theodore Roosevelt.
"I was running the "2o," sir,
Pulling the fast express.
And all that day my mind was filled
Willi .1 dread I could not repress.
"And I stood with my hand on the throttle.
With my eyes on tlic winding track,
Where the shadows threw out their gitost
y arai3
Seeming to hold mo back.
"Hut I heeded not the wsrniag.
O'er the shining steel we sped;
And bathed in a sea of sunshine
I saw the bridge ahead.
"Great heavens! the "draw" was open;
And jti-t on the other side,
A tiny child of four or live
(The bridgeuiauV babe) I spied.
"He too had seen the peril,
Would Love or Duty rch-n?
Would he save his child, or, in duty,
Lose her and cave the train?
"Well, lie never left his post, sir,
Though his fnce was deathly white,
And I just had to shut my C3es, sir,
To hide that awful siirht.
"Poor Jack! before I could stop the train
He'd the little one ciose to his breast
Kissing the eyes, the brow, the lips,
So still in the lonjr, last rest.
"They buried her there on the hillside
By her mother's grave, and Jack
He crossed the sea to other lands
But every year sends back
"A box of liowers for the two lone graves;
And we've heard on the road, since then,
That over in proud old England
He's one of the titled meii.
"That in his caily manhood
He had "married lor love and they,
The parents, who cursed "his folly"
Vowed for it he'd dearly pay
"Re that as it may, 'twas a heait, I think,
Loyal, brave and truo
That would sacrifice all for duty's sake
To be true to its trust: Don't you'"

The city is now governed by a council of

It has been wiid and asserted, by an
tique and modern anthroiites, Uiat theie
was "nothing new under Ihe bun." We
aic inclined to think that now the other
side of the woild has turned up ana that
many things are new under the sun. We

want to speak of the German Fair where
several featuies .struck us as being new and
original.
First v,o enter the supper department,
3Irs. Tush and Sehnitzler fuperintendents.
Those ladies and a full corps of assistant
besides the young lady waiters who wore
the old Geinian costume mid looked ex
ceedingly charming. The tables wcie
served in splendid style and gave gicat sat
isfaction. Next came the coffee stand
with fresh "pretzels," Mns. A. Ludike sole
proprietor, also iu - costume, The little
lady looked as bright as a dollar, iris.
Kopplin had many customers at the ladies'
bland, besides she got up many little new
tricks that caused much merriment and
made money. 3Irs. Weipsenfiuch and
Thctgenhort had a beautiful collection of
domestics and deserve credit for the assis
tance given to the fair in general. The
Spanish booth was always crowded with
customer';; whether the 3'oung Indies was
the greatest attraclicn, or the fiuit3 and
candies, we would not venture to say.
The doll booth was the joy of the little
folks and the wonder of the old, for that a
dolly-bride should have a groom, you never
saw licforc, but here it was, a regular wed
ding march.
The fan cy wood stand was under the
control of 3Irs. A. C. Weber, our genial
artist, who hi ought out the finest patterns
ever seen here.
.ir. F. Sehnitzler held the position on
the stage and did all the work on the black
board. Although not connected with the
church, 3Ir. Sehnitzler had kindly offered
his services, and through his pleasing and
happy manner has ceitainly secured a
round little sum.
The ofiicera of the society occupied the
central booth and did justice to their por
tijn in every paiticular.
Fear had been expressed that the Luther
ans would have lo wait a long time for a
church, but this fair has helped them out
and the chuich will be built at once.

Again Sunday, a very destructive prairie
fire visited the Valley and Little River
townships. The fire caught from the loco
motive on a west bound freight train, aud
the wind, blowing almost a gale at the
time, carried it noithward with almost the
speed of a train. The dry, dead grass
furnished the best of material for fuel.
The fiie, as it parsed over the pnuiies and
sand hills, left only a blackened and smok
ing waste behind, with occasionally a house
or out building. All else was destroyed by
tho fierce llames, and in several instances, it
was with the greatest dilhculty that slock
could be driven to plowed ground or other
places of safet The farmers in the route
of the fire and'in the vicinity, turned oul
en masse, and extinguished the fire, but not
befoie about six hund'cd tons of ha-, be
sides otiier feed and implements that were
in the track of the file had been destroyed.

One of the silliest things v.'e have' lead
is lluit of n miuisier of the gospel trying
to describe v.imt liell really is. Some in
sist upon a real hell a lake of lire and
brimstone while othcis maintain that the
punishment of hell v. ill be the eternal
iting of guilty co-seienee It is the veri
est folly in any one trying to paint hell in
its true colors. AVe think there would be
moic good reuse displacd in trying to
avoid hell. "We think (and cvtMy man has
his idea of both hell and heaven) that hell
is hell, and a place that wo have not the
least desire to know anything about, either
in location, surroundings, buildings, in
mates, or management. Wc only hope we
may so meavme our acts in this life that
when summoned hence our soul will take
another and very different and far happier
