No one sick at present writing, Sim Pfister and Sam Feller don't look quite so lonesome since Nelt Cue took pity on them and moved in with them. The boys say they can't stand baching. Frank and John Swartz are still at Mr. Hardy's. Last Tuesday was gala day around this part.

The occasion was the stone hauling for the foun dation for the Pleasant Grove E. church. Thirty-seven teams turned, out and hauled all the material for the foundation in one day and when the stone haulers got to the church ground the ladies had gathered in and had a table large enough to seat about forty, just loaded with all the good things im aginable, and iog, little and big, did justice to the cakes and pies Charlie Garrett had to be carried away from the table. Trent ate forty pieces of pie and the writer lost the count on the pieces of cake. J.

Krebs. of Hiawatha, has the foundation to build and Frank Swartz, the well known contractor, has tne contract for building the church. The new Evangelical church will soon be ready for the plasterers. The school house isn't large enough to hold the Sunday school any longer. If this doesn reach the waste basket, may come again.

Guess The building committee for the Pleasant Grove M. E. church wants to thank the friends and neighbors for coming out so liberally and hauling the stone and sand for the foundation, and they want to espec ially thank the ladies for the grand dinner they furnished. R. M.

in the Armory. May 28, 1893. by Rev. W. B.

Bradsbaw, Ph.D. pastor of the First Baptist Church, Hiawatha. Text: Ps. 18:30 and Judges 5:11. David was a man of war as well as a man after God's own heart.

I doubt not that all here to-day would esteem it an honor to give him the same saluUtion they present to brave soldiers, frequently he found himself in great peril from domestic as well as from alien foes; but he always triumphed. He was a leader of unusual skill, a soldier of undaunted courage and a powerful combatant. What was tbe secret of his might? Not alone his skill, his courage, or his strength. Hear him tell the unvarnished truth: For thou (God) hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me." No doubt he felt his own importance in relation to other men, but be was humble before his God, and gave to him the glory due unto his name. Our service at this hour is memorial.

It is in memory of a great war, with great battles, fought by brave men, with grand victories won by skillful generals and valiant soldiers. But more than the luster of illustrious leaders, and more than the valor of valiant troops, we would remember and laud the hand the Divine hand that girded this nation and her armies with strength unto the battle, and rewarded her with tbe victory. Therefore, as we may seem in the progress of our remarks to dwell upon the memory of human glory, let us be sure that the Supreme mind that plannedjand the Almighty hand that performed are not forgotten. A review of tbe receding years is always full of interest. Listen with breathless attention to the fireside rehearsals of parents and grandparents.

In after years a similar interest remains; but the character and scope of the story are so changed that the history of the human race constitutes the fireside tale, and in tbe zenith of our days, the memories of our youth, mingled with the experiences of ma-tnrer life, flash back upon our way with an enchantment that greatly softens the asperities of increasing years. Bat the memories of long ago have a more important missism. to the marching generations than the passing pleasures they afford. They are among the principal educators of oor race The tacts of the past help ns to recognize the opportunities of the present, and to forecast possibilities of the future. Tbelr mastery.

from the nursery espwutct of childhood, to the boyish teats of school day sports; from tbe successful enterprise of a rigorotu manhood, to the quieter events of matarer life, marks place in the home, the municipality, the com monwealth, the nation, tbe world. in tne annals of the past all ages, classes and pro fessions among men, may and do una elements of education Here the mental pabulum is in its concrete, more digestible form. At this board the nations have feasted after the most approved process of induction, and long before tbe modern educator posed as tbe champion of the inductive method. Let the facts of the world be mastered and the process will supply a liberal culture. As a result of the delight and education de rived from reviewing the history of the world, we should certainly expect inspiration and enthusiasm, and we do not look in vain.

What boy does not -feel his blood tingle and his ambition rise to emulate the heroic deeds of his father? What scholar does not drink inspir ing draughts of ambition when he reviews the steps of some person who has earnestly and successfully mounted the ladder and stood upon the pinnacle of fame? What cadet in blue, or soldier in the ranks, has not been in spired with an enlarged conception of the possibilities before him and has not been constrained to deeds of couraee and valor by the study of such a military eenius as that of David, or Alexander, or Caesar with a reasonable expectation of reaping similar glory? Who, even in private life, can be acquainted with the memoirs of such heroes as Napoleon, Wellington, Washington or Grant and not feel the inspiration that comes from the mere re cital of their names? The history of our country is replete with interest and charged with stimulating power. Our national history has been one of great de velopement. Our growth is an astonish ment to the world and a wonder to ourselves, Why not rehearse it? Why not refer to it in sermon, in oration, in poetry, in editorial and in conversation until the hearts of this gener ation shall beat with patriotic enthusiasm? Among tae many events 01 our nauonai history full of the elements of patriotic fire, perhaps there are none so effective as the facte connected with the late Civil war. It should therefore be an object of interest and of profit to the present and rising generations to keep fresh in memoi r- the causes of that terrible strife; the heroic deeds of the boys in blue; the grand and iar reaching results of the vie lory, and above all, tne divine providence that directed affairs, guided armies and led to final victory. There were two appalling dangers threaten ing the very existence of the republic of the United states.

1 he one was political, tne other was social; the one was the doctrine of "state's rights," the other was slavery; the one was destructive to the principle of general government, the other was calculated to un dermine the fundamental principles of the constitution upon which the republic rest. The one was disintegrating in its character; the other was opposed to personal rights and a crime against the human race. or years previous to the clash ot arms many of the more thoughtful of our citizens, both in public and private life, foresaw the coming storm. The ominous clouds did not till them with craven fear, but developed their wisdom and courage to meet the exingencies of the times and make preparations for the approaching conflict. They were the leaders of the nation.

Their fellow citizens felt the power of their manly virtue and quickly fell into line to avert, by peaceable means if pos sible, the impending ruin, or, if necessary, by force of arms maintain the integrity ot the na tion. The conclusion was soon forced upon them that success lay not along the path of a bloodless strife. Accordingly, with a national wail of sorrow, the sword was drawn, and for years its flashing lustre was stained with the nation's blood. This expedient was terrible, but salutary in its effects. The nation was saved and the personal rights of every man maintained The nation came forth from the furnace im proved, in a measure purified.

The usual greedy, corrupt, craven crowd ot omce seekers bad largely Slunk away into seclusion to se cure present personal safety, while the true brave men ot the country came to the front, stood at the helm and handled the guns. National dangers are still about us. This is a world of difficulties. As the days come and go new ones reveal themselves. ill tbe nation cope with them decisively and success fully as they appear, or will see weakly yield to their disintegrating power? ith tbe rec ollection of past victories how can we cravenly yield to the enemy? us continue to re view and rehearse tbe heroic deeds ot those dark days.

In this way we will discover the character of our country's toes, retain a know ledge of the art of defense, and catching tbe inspiration of patriotic tire ourselves, transmit our heritage inviolate to our children. If we would catch the spirit of those times and the enthusiasm ot those men it is import ant not only to rehearse in general terms the complete overthrow of the gigantic enemy and deliverance from impending rum, but it is necessary for us to return to those days and associate with those men, as far as we may, in the every-day struggles of the conflict. We must stand in the council chamber and witness the weary sessions held by tbe president and his eaDinet. vve must mark tne national enthusiasm that greeted the first and subsequent calls to arms and swelled the ranks until more than two and a half millions of men had en listed. We must mark the fie ce contest waged in each soldier's breast as he leaves home and home friends, perhaps forever, to Stand for his country's safety in her day of peril.

We should remain at those homes and witness the sacrifices of mother, wives, sisters and daughters for the interest of their coun try. We should follow the troops in their weary marches. We should be present when the columns advance in battle line; when the air is rent with the roar of artillery; when the groans of the wounded and dying mingle with the din of battle; when the cry of victory sends its glad thrill to every heart. also sbould be oa the field, when tne smoke of battle has cleared away, to behold the sickening sight of desolation and death; to witness the keen un varnished sorrow for fallen comrades; the fond care for the wounded, or strong pity for the dying. We sbould be present at the buriai of the dead and listen to the great sobs and sighs of a nation that mourns over 300,000 fallen heroes, while she exults in the triumph they have won.

should witness the disband ing of a million of men and the subsequent provisions made for their honorable support Veterans of the war, rekindle your camp fires, ever and anon the story, of your sacrifices, your dangers, your sufferings, your battles and your victories to your neighbors and the children ef the nation Kindle the fires of patriotism and let the flames of en thusiasm burst forth from every heart! But when yoa tell the story of your coun try's dangers, her battles, her victories nd her heritage, don't lorget -to recognize the hand of providence all your triumphs. It was God that girded tuis nation with strength unto the battle and subdued under it those that rose up against it. There was a providential preparation of the people at large through the pulpit, the plat form, the press and the common school By means of these the nation was permeated with the gospel principle of the universal brotherhood of man. There were also men prepared by their birth, their education, their trials and their sacrifices to be the coservators of the nation, and her leaders in tbe battles crowned with victory. They were the nation's noble' men; bat God providence is remarkable in their history They reverently acknowledged the hand of God.

We, with the immortal Lincoln and bis illustrious associates, will this day recognize the same supreme controller of events. A study of the progress of the war about the line of battle reveals the same grand truth. God led the armies, girded them unto the battle and gave them the victory. Can we sufficiently emphasize this thought? God was on our side! He is always on the side of right! Watch his guiding hand. Under its direction there is safety! There is vic tory! There is honor! 1 here is glory! The toes, conflicts ana victories 01 ine war suggest the questions, are there no enemies sapping oor political and moral strength as a nation now, and what is the nation doing to destroy them? We stand in silent awe wiik oor bowed heads and sad hearts when we remember the degradation of slavery, the cruel and untimely deaths of the 300,000 braves who feel during the war, and is there not good reason? But do we really know of the daily tragedies of King Alcohol, and committed so largely under the protect 01 tne law, in which 75,000 of our citizens annually are slain and in which cruel wrong is inflicted upon their families? There is another crying evu 01 our times that is surely degrading oor nation.

The insatiable greed for gain has demoralized legitimate business, and is fast crystolizing into various form. of gambling. And still more our boasted principle 01 liberty is in danger. Witness the Chinese Exclusion Act, which supports the cruel wrongs that have been and are being committed against these people. Oh! veterans of the war, there may be work for yoa yet to defend your country from her foes which lie in her bosom.

Oh! ye sons and daughters of noble sires, here are fields of battle for the exercise of yoor courage and the display of your valor. Let as all pray and labor that the battle may be bloodless one. But your fathers. When tbe suffer ine cries of your country call for yoor support, never falter, never fail her, but defend her with your life. I should fail in my dory to yon to-day if I should neglect to call yoor attention to the powers of evil within and about you, that, put everything in fine growing shape however the fruit will be a failure in in these parts.

"Can I do anything tor said an officer in one of our gory battles in the awful conflict to one of the lads in blue whose life was rapidly trickling away upon the green sod. "Nothing," said the dying soldier.

"Nothing? Shall I get you a little water?" "No. thank you: I am dvine." Is there nothing 1 can do?" said the officer: "Shall I write a letter to your friends?" "No, I have no friends that you can write to, but there is one thing I should be much obliged 10 you ior. in my knapsack you will find a testament. Open it at the fourteenth chapter 01 01. jonn and near the end of end you will find a passage that begins with the word reace riease read it The officer took up the blood stained haversack, took out the testament and turned to that chapter which has been read so often to light up the valley of the shadow of death, and he read 'Peace 1 leave with you: my peace I give unto vou.

Not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." "Thank you, sir," said the dying man; -1 have got that peace 1 am going to that Savior," and winging its way from the poor bleeding body, the spirit ascended, and as Noah stretched out his hand to the dove, the in nite love grasped him and drew him in. For him "to live was Christ;" for him "to die was gam everlasting gam. God had girded him for the battle of life and now he was girded for the last battle. His death was triumphant Through the mists of tbe coming days we, each one of us, see tbe shadow of death.

It is now year since the Odd Fel lows of Kansas were given the famous Boissiere Silkville farm in Franklin county and already great improve nienta have been made. The groves have been cleared up and an addi tion to the house has been begun, which when complete will give it a capacity of fifty children and neces sary attendants. The Silkville farm comprises 3,156 acres of rolling prairie worth 9200,000.

To the farm belong 500 head of well bred Short horn cattle, 50 horses and 500 head of Poland-China hogs.

Tax hen and women of Horton who encouraged the six impudent scholars of tbe high school of that city to withdraw from the superin-tendant's ruling are sowing the seeds of discord and strife in the hearts of young people, which, if allowed to grow will result in a party of grownup rebels against anything that displeases them in state and nation in after life. It is dangerous and a good illustration of "sparing of the rod and spoiling the child." The facts are, that the graduating class of seven wanted TJvan Wagner to receive the highest honors; the superintendent said a MissHackedorn was by examination entitled to them.

Piles and Fistula. If you are afflicted with dry, itching or bleeding piles there is no necessity of wasting your time any longer bv usine outward applications. You could use all the stuff that was ever made for outward applica tions and could not cu-e a case of piles of any kind Neither can you get cured by cutting or having them operated on In any way. Piles are a blood disease they are the outgrowth of diseased blood. They come in many different shapes and forms.

Ordinarily, tney are nothing more or less than pimples in the rectum; but when they become aggravated they run into fis tula, ulcers, tumors and cancer of the rectum. The blood being the cause of all these diseases of the rectum, there is no other way of curing them but hv n-movinir the cause from the blood. The bile which passes from the liver into the stomach which should again pass off from the stomach as a coating and coloring matter for the regular operations, must be brought from the stomach so that it will perform its proper functions. The fact of the bile remaining in the stomach diseases the stomach, and the want of it as a coating and coloring matter for the regular operations and which also acts as an oily substance on the rectum, diseases the rectum and throws the whole system out of condition. You might as well try to cure catarrh by squirting something up your nose as to cure piles, fistula, can' cers or tumors of the rectum by outward applications.

1 here is only one cure for all these diseases of the rectum. The Red Cross Constitutional medicine will cure dry, itching or bleeding piles in from five to ten days, and all other diseases of the rectum in one, two or three weeks. When you get cured by this medit cine vour whole system is regulated. You are no kept in suspense from month to month and continual ly paying out money. You are getting the cure right irom the start and in a week or two you are cured ol any disease.
