Atchison Daily Patriot from Atchison, Kansas • Page 4

The Prayer Meetings. A few nights ago a Globe reporter wrote up the prayer meetings, which was followed up by some comments in THE PATRIOT. In response Elder McPherson, pastor of the Christian church, sends the following to this office: Editor of THE PATRIOT: DEAR SIR; -Were it not for the truly prayerful and consecrated children of God in Atchison, the city would almost be depopulated within five years. I am sure you and I would not want to rear our families in place where prayer is never heard, whore little children never meet to hear and speak the name of Christ, where services to God are heard on Lord's day, where there is absolute indifference to the cause of Christ. Lawlessness and terror would reign amid such unregenerate citizens without the sacrifices of truly Christian people.

How many ungrateful souls would sell their property (if they could) and follow up 8 Christian community to sponge their respectability! So far as some citizens are concerned, never a Sunday school would organized, never a prayer meeting attended, never a church spire pointing 18 heavenward. In fact, some who want to be accounted respectable, oppose these very gifts of Providence without which they ought to know our town would be in a very sad condition. Yet some such citizens, while they never darken the door of a church, ask Christian people to vote them into office to govern our city. Referring to the small attendance at prayer meetings, you ask: "Then what is the matter? 18 it because the theatre, the club and the high five party have greater attracting powers than the church No, not for a truly converted man or woman. But I suppose we all evince our tastes by the ways we pursue.

The red man chooses the blanket and wigwam instead of citizen's clothes and a comfortable dwelling. The little boy enjoys blowing 8 tin horn and beating a tin pan. You and I do not. We are above that. The vow a Christian has made to God and the conversion he professes fully warrant his associates to expect of him increasing devotion to God.

It is impossible for every member to attend every church service, yet it is evident that thousands that do not could attend more of them. Not one of us is perfect, but none need be palpably inconsistent. People that never pray nor have any interest in the cause of God are entirely incompetent to pass judgment on those who enjoy the sweet benefits of prayer. A gross misconception of prayer prevails. God should not be viewed as we would think of man with his many mistakes.

He does not promise us that it "we will do this, He will do that," from merely human and selfish stand-point. Prayer is a means of appropriating or accepting the many unspeakble blessings of our Heavely Father. It is the soul's attitude to God and is the noblest of all mental conditions and experiences. Prayer does not redouble our forces, but elieits the possibilities of good that are within us. How many poor souls do not conquer cause they are not themselves by God's help, because they pray not.

God's answer to the prayer of a fervent heart is the result wrought out in his elevated condition, which is the end of prayer, and by which former practices of sin become disgusting to him and he is impelled to pray for his friends yet indifferent. Knowing the young men as I do who have recorded these prayer meeting facts in the Globe and these questions in THE PATRIOT, I believe they did it from good motives. I not consider the above as exhaustive, by any means. Respectfully, LOWELL C. McPHERSON.

The rain storm yesterday extended for a radius of 100 miles north. Ladies' new attractions of the latest designs in spring bonnets at the millinery opening of Graham Smith Wednesday and Thursday. The cyclone that everybody is talking about will probably not strike this section. Its track is in Southern Kansas. The talk resulted in the schools being dismissed early this afternoon.

A Missouri Pacific train dispatcher donned the first spring suit to-day, and rushed the season. The night clerk at the Byram dropped to sleep last night, and some thieves entered the office and stole $25 from the till. It is thought that the robbers went to St. Joe. Mrs.

Graham and Mrs. Smith will hold their millinery opening Wednesday and Thursday. Ladies, remember the millinery opening at Graham Smith's, Wednesday and Thursday. Boiled dinner, New England style, tomorrow at Best's Third street restaurant. Mrs.

Dora Lowenberg, a servant in 8 New York family gave her life lately to save that of the child of her mistress, and did It deliberately, knowing beforehand the result. All she lacks of beauty is a little plumpness." This is a frequent thought, and a wholesome one. All of a baby's beauty is due to fat, and nearly all of a woman's we know it as curves and dimples. What plumpness has to do with health is told in a little book on CAREFUL LIVING; sent free. Would you rather be healthy or beautiful? is the proper answer.

A FEW THINGS. Rather Chili feeling between this country and England. However, we are Behring it all right. Sea? Arkansaw Traveler. An Ottawa girl at a church fair drove twelve eight penny nails in sixty seconds and won a tack hammer, while a "feller" sewed on tour buttons in two minutes and twenty seconds, and won a thimble.

Bob Ingersoll said in his eulogy on Walt Whitman that the dead poet was most eminent citizen of this republic," and that "he has uttered more supreme words than any writer of our century, and possibly of almost any other!" Ingersoll is a great sinner in exaggeration. Managing Editor (to Proprietor)--Flyer, our uptown man, ought to have a He's the best reporter we've got. Proprietor -How's that?

He found that broken rail that caused that accident on the Zig Zag Central and sat on a stone eight hours waiting for the accident to occur, so he could get the story in to-night's zine.

"Poor Jonathan," the great New York Casino success, will be sung at the opera house to-morrow night by the Conried Opera company. "Poor Jonathan" although first produced in Vienna, is essentially an American opera, with slight foreign accessions. It possesses the peculiar distinction of marking an entirely new departure in the modern of opera comique. The musie is by Carl Milloeckor, the composer of "The Beggar Student" and "The Black Hussar." In a conversation with a reporter the other day Ethel Ingalls said that she would marry only for love. She admitted, however, that money was a nice thing to have around, but contended that it would not bring happiness.

She would not marry a poverty stricken man simply because she loved him, but would quietly wait till he had accumulated a sumcient quantity of this world's goods to rig out a comfortable home. She thought that if everybody would marry for love, the divorce court would soon be an institution of the past. Great excitement exists in a certain part of Atchison county which shall be nameless for financial reasons, over 3 very singular discovery of gold. A day or so agO highly respected farmer took his team to the village smithy to have them re-shod. In removing the old shoes the blacksmith noticed that their bottoms were literally covered with shining, yellow particles.

Upon closer examination they proved to be pure gold dust, which had adhered to the shoes of the animals. The farmer and blacksmith have abandoned their callings and are now engaged in placer mining, and the wildest excitement now obtains in that section. Wm. Vanderstay, the Democratic can diate for councilman in the Third ward, has been a resident of Atchison and identified with its interest for the past fifteen years. He owns real estate in the city and has good business qualifications.

He is honest and will see to the best interests of the city. Vote for Vanderstay. The charge of selling intoxicating liquors against Alice Olliver was withdrawn in the police court this morning, and Judge Baldwin dismissed the case. The house recently occupied by Miss Oliver at the foot of Commercial street has been leased by a woman who will run a similar estab-1 lishment. Miss Oliver owns the property.

John J. Intfen, the popular grocer, will no doubt be elected member of the school board in the Second ward. This is purely a case of the office seeking the man. Mr. Intfen did not ask for the nomination: the people thrust it upon him.

The indications are that A. B. Zimmerman will be elected member of the school board in the Third ward. Mr. Zimmerman should receive the votes of all who are interested in the cause of education.

Mrs. Margaret Low, aged 78, died at Doniphan yesterday of a rupture from which she has been suffering for several weeks. The funeral occured at 2 o'clock this afternood. The remains were interred in the village cemetery. Nibs and His Nobs" is the attraction at the Ninth Street theatre in Kansas City this week.

C. HI. Young has moved. His new store at the corner of Fourth and Commercial streets is going to be the most attractive place in the city. Look out for Mr.

Young's spring opening. A large crowd of Atchison people went to The Pass yesterday afternoon. The Pass promises to be A very pleasant gummer resort. "Pap" Williams has fixed it up nicely, and will operate a hotel. He has several new boats.

The underbrush about The Pass has been cleared away. Atchison people don't care much for really good shows. Only two first class attractions have been here this season: Morrison's and Effie Ellsler. Miss Ellsler appeared Saturday night to less than a $200 house. Old man Ellsler was very angry and swore he would never play in Atchison again.

Jonathan," by the Conried Opera company, is another first class attraction It will be presented at the opera house tomorrow night. This is a performance that the lovers of really good music ought to attend. There are thirty-five people in the company. "I came down town an hour ago and have already seen seventy-five maniacs on wheels. 1 guess I'll come back to Atchison and start a paper." -F.

L. Vandegrift. Caution. Imitations have been put upon the market so closely resembling ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS in general appearance as to be well calculated to deceive. It is, however, in general appearance only that they compare with ALLCOCK'9, for they are worse than worthless, inasmuch as they contain deleterious ingredients which are apt to serious injury.

Remember that ALCOCK's are the only genuine porous plasters -the best external remedy ever produced; and when purchasing plasters do not only ask for but see that you get ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS. Mitchell's Candidacy. Billy Mitchell, who is supposed to be the Democratic member of the Kansas board A of railroad commissioners, wants to go to the national Democratic convention as a delegate-at-large. All that the Democrats of this state know about Mitchell is that he supported Lyman U. Humphrey for governor in 1890, and otherwise helped to do up the Democracy, If he wants "delegatorial" honors he should go to the Minneapolis convention, where he properly belongs.

'The Republicans would, no doubt, make room for him. 'The Democracy of Kansas doesn't know Mitchell, nor is it particularly infatuated with the idea of forming an intimate acquaintance with him. The Democrats have no use for a man who is in cahoots with George T. Anthony, of freight rate fame. Will the Fort Scott Tribune tell what it knows about Mitchell in the campaign of 18902 Major Haskell will deliver before the Wynn Literary society at Midland college, Friday afternoon, a lecture upon the theme, "Know Thyself, or What Should Be Your Occupation in Life." The lecture will treat upon the subject of the gentler sex from an entirely new standpoint, a theory not heretofore touched upon from the rostrum.

Major Haskell is an instructive and entertaining speaker, and his lecture will no doubt be highly appreciated. M. A. Lowe to-day filed an answer for the Rock Island in the Symns Grocer company case, practically admitting the allegations in the plaintiff's petition, and asking to be discharged without costs. The railroad company has no intention putting the commissioners' rates into effect, unless compelled to do so.

The election of Dr. Mitchell as councilman in the Fifth ward is conceded. Dr. Mitchell has never been in politics, and he 18 just the kind of a man needed. Too many politicians have been elected to the city council.

All the Democrats and many Republicans will vote for Dr. Mitchell tomorrow. Mrs. Minnie Williams will be taken back to the asylum. She became so violent today that Deputy Sheriff Colgan had to take charge of her.

Nearly every one needs a good spring medicine, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is undoubtedly the best. Try it this season. M. Noll has reduced the price of the Sherman-Williams paint, and requests persons to call at his drug store before purchasing other well known brands. Take your prescriptions to Steven's drug store and have them carefully compounded.

Putman Bros. again announce that they make the very best spring blood; 88 dozens will testify who took it last spring. Take your prescriptions to Stevens' drug store and have them carefully compounded. A great many Republicans will vote for William Vanderstay for councilman in the Third ward. He is a business man.

We need more business men in the city council- If you contemplate buying a dinner, tea or chamber set do not fail to get our prices or you will lose money. We are making closer figures than any one else pretends to in the state of Kansas, and besides you will have an immense stock from which to make your selections, and will be sure to be pleased. CHAS.

The product of the wax tree on the Andes resembles beeswax very closely. Then there is the butter tree of Africa, which is produces as much as 100 pounds at once, only to be renewed in a few months. This secretion, when hardened and salted, is difficult to distinguish from fresh, sweet butter. Every good citizen, irrespective of party, should vote for John J.
