PETITIONS IN CHURCH.

Preachers Make War With Flesh. the Arm of Church goers were treated to some thing of a surprise last Sunday morn ing. In pursuance to an agreement among the pastors the prohibition ques tion was taken up. At all of the churches there were petitions for signatures, protesting against a resubmission of the prohibitory amendment to the voters of the state. In the Congrega tional and Methodist churches there was actio- on a local matter.

The pas tors caus a vote to be taken on the question whether A. L. Hager should be released from jail. Mr. Hager didn't get a vote in either church.

He ran worse, even, than McKinley did in Colorado, but can plead as an excuse that no public notice had been given of the election and consequently he had had no opportunity to muster his friends. Ser iously, there is considerable condemna tion among the people 'of the action taken by the ministers. It is argued that people go to church on the Sabbath or at least should do so to wor ship God rather than vote on the liberty of a citizen who is in jail, or to petition the legislature on the ques tion of joints vs. saloons. It is not questioned that the pastors were sincere in the matter, and acted in good faith, the contention being that they fell into an error of judgment.

People are divided on the question. The Messenger thinks the ministers were guilty of an impropriety. Congregational. New members received January 10th: R. W.

A. Leedy. Through an oversight the Messenger of last week failed to mention a very de lightful feature connected with the Gunsaulus lecture. At the request of the committee Miss Hardy sang, at the conclusion of Dr. Gunsaulus' remarks.

Her voice, naturally sweet and musical, has been cultivated to the point of ex quisite finish, and competent critics are unanimous in expressing enthusiastic ppreciation. Miss Hardy sang "Les Filles de Cadiz," by Tosti; a gavotte from the opera of "Manon Lescaut," by Massenet, and Denza's "Spring Song." The last was in English, the others in French. Dr. Gunsaulus, who is something of an authority on musical subjects, complimented Miss Hardy very highly on her performance, and the large audience was delighted with the songs.

THE TEST OF MANNERS. They Come of Refined Home Life Blast be Worn Every Day. and It would seem that the surest road to excellent manners is by way of generous enlightenment which softens character and uplifts the point of view from which we retrard our fellow citizens of the world. Politeness is regard for the other person's feelings. If you are solic itous about giving pleasure to those you meet there is little danger of any glaring breach of manners, albeit some conventional rule may be infringed.

An unselfish purpose rarely offends. Almost always the truly vulgar person is offensively selfish. He wants his own way; she demands notice; the obvious thing in this person's conduct is assump tion of personal importance, as if ex pecting admiration and exceptional treatment from every body. Politeness is a mark of self-control and a proof of self-sufficiency for any occasion; but from it is quite absent any anxiety about one's self or the impression one is mak ing upon others. If I were compelled to express with a single word what it is that the character must have in order to a perfect rendi tion of politeness, I should say adjusta bility.

A rigid habit, no matter how morally correct in outline, is death to that which gives to a man or a woman in the presence of welcome the ex pression of being at home with company. Politeness so illuminates conventionality that we see only the radiance and forget the machinery. Every close observer has been able to detect the difference between manners assumed for an occasion of exigency and the perfectly natural acts of a well-bred person. A man may nit nis nai witn a movement indicative of generations whose culture and grace form the inner most essence of his character; another may attempt the same and show by it that only yesterday he took his first crude lesson in conventional politeness It is the same with women. Good man ners come of refined home life; they must be worn every day or they will not be worn with ease and unconscious grace.

And this unconscious grace is not mere gracefulness; it lies deeper. A gracious soul must shine out. Chau-tauquan. WANTS TO COME BACK. Mr.

Crebo is HaTing a Good Time in Eng land, but Longs for Kansas. E. Crebo writes an interesting letter from England. Miss Katie suffered a great deal from sea-sickness going over and himself, had much difficulty during the first three days to keep his boots from coming up through his throat. Concerning England Mr.

Crebo says: "The weather is beastly; rain every day except yesterday, since I have been here, and everything seems changed to what it used to be. The lanes are more narrow and crooked than they were, or at least they appear so to me. The houses are so much smaller and many of the old ones are gone, and when I call their attention to it they tell me there is no change here, that the change is in me, and I guess it is, for it seems nothing changes in England. I am having a delightful time. I have already met with lots of old time friends and relatives and they one and all treat me very nicely.

I can spend a week or two here all right but I am already looking forward to the time when I shall be in the land where the sunflower blooms, to enjoy a little of its sunshine once more. Mr. Polglase sends greeting. He is com ing over with me and will bring his family." Commissioners' Proceedings. The new board of county commissioners met Monday and organized by electing A.

W. Barrier chairman. The ballot stood two for Barrier and one blank, Mr. Barrier declining to vote for himself. County physicians were appointed as follows: First district, Dr.

A. Standley, of Madison, at $180; Second district, Dr. J. Dillon, of Eureka, at S120; Third district, Dr. J.

W. Denbo, of Fall River, at $125. C. C. Massey was re-appointed janitor of the court house at his old salary of $300 and likewise W.

M. Barngrover superintendent of the poor farm at $400. Dr. W. T.

Grove was re-appointed county health officer. On Tuesday the county printing and the job printing were awarded to the Messenger and the Union, the work being equally divided between the two papers. There will be a saving to the county of several hundred dollars over last year on printing the official ballots and advertising the same in the newspapers. The other printing is at last year's prices. The board approved a number of bonds and transacted considerable routine business, an official statement of which will appear next week.

Hagers Behalf. An interesting episode occurred at the commissioners' court Wednesday morn ing. Judge J. B. Clogston presented petition, signed by a number of citizens.

for the release of A. L. Hager, who is in jail because he hasn't paid the fine and costs imposed on him for keeping a club house. The total is nearly $500 and Hager says he has not the means to pay it. He also contends that his health is being seriously impaired by the confinement.

A number of the ministers of the city were present to remonstrate against Hager's release. Reverends Murrman and Creager spoke in opposi tion to Judge Clogston's petition, and there were some lively exchanges of compliments between the attorney and the clergymen. After some considera tion the commissioners rejected the petition and Mr. Hager is still in jail. Those Who Pay.

The women then cook noodles with the chicken to make the chicken go around make good gravy to save the meat; serve apple pie of tener than plum pudding; do away with the hired girls who can't cook and display their own skill; stay at home more with the children, because they have no fine clothes to wear gad ding; try their hands at nice old fash ioned gingerbread, instead of angel's food; the general health is better, and the people who would otherwise come and visit a month, stay at home.

There is nothing so terrible about hard times if a clever woman manages the house. Toronto Republican. A. Sew Departure. For ninety days from January 1st, '97 we wiu give a reDate or ten cents on each dollar's worth of groceries purchas ed of us for cash except barrel salt, sugar and flour.

Mr. Davis ppeared for plaintiff in error and Mr. Hodgson represented the city. At a meeting of the First National Bank stockholders the old directors were all re-elected. There will be no change in the management of the bank.

Despite the close times the customary ten per cent profit has been realized, besides something to be added to the surplus. The First National is a well managed institution. In fact Eureka has always been fortunate in having exceptionally good and safe banks. Something new for Eureka in the way of social amusement was the bowline party at the bowling alley Friday ight of last week. It was an exceed- ngly pleasant affair.

Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Tucker, Mr.

and Mrs. Albert Tucker, Misses Elena Hardy, Grace Saunders, Ada Davis, Cora Wells and Messrs. H. Mann, L. E.

Bright, James Lodge, Tom Davis and James Hardy. Judge Evey's family moved to Fall River the first of the week. The judge will probably engage in business at Fall River. A good many people would like to see him appointed postmaster, a posi tion he held prior to 1885, when S. M.

Dixon was appointed. Evey has made good record in every place to which the people have called him. He will as sist Judge Worley for a week or two until the latter gets the run of the office. Ex-County Attorney Jackson's last official act was to bring suit against Josiah Sample, proprietor of Hotel Greenwood, and against the non-resident owner of the property occupied by Tom Church, to recover the amount of the fines and costs charged against Church and A. L.

Hager for violating the liquor law. There is a state law making the property in which intoxicants are sold liable for the fines of the sellers and it is under this statute that the action is brought. The case will be an interesting one. Now that he is out of office Tom Souders will devote his entire time to the grocery business. Souders was not very active, as district clerk, in directing legal publications toward the Mes senger office, but we must admit that he made a good officer.

His promptness and efficiency were particularly notice able in the matter of turning over fees that came into his bands, belonging to other officers and to private individuals. The Messenger was never compelled to wait ten minutes for money that had been paid into Tom Souders' hands. Countess in New York Who Is Con epicuous Aside from Her Titlo. Is Traveling with Her Husband to Aastrs llj Strange Party Applies for Accommodation at a Hotel Quarters Secured for Their Menagerie. A small, scantiily-bewhiskered man nccoropaniea Dy a tall, blond younqj woman, are registered at the Hotel Martin, New York city, as Reginald F.

Brook and Countess Gwendoline Brook, of London. The hotel attaches paid no attention, to Mr. Brook, but ttxej xnrew up tneir bands when they saw the countess. She was attired in ligiht Drown Dioomers, brown leggings, a jaunty brown jacket, a white sweater end a Tam O'Sbanter cap. The bloom crs were equipped with pockets, and the "countess" wore her hands in tlio pockets.

On her finjrers she wore dozen rings, and diamond pins in the snape 01 coronets decorated her cap, and the front of her sweater. Wihen Mr. Brook had registered he told Landlord Martin that he desired ac commodations for the pets of the countess. "How many animals queried Martin. have you?" "The countess," rejoined Mr.

Brook. "has a monkey, am ape, a black Chinese bear very rare, by the way, the only one In the United States a tiger cat, a tame house cat, a trained lemur, a trained coatimondi, better known as the a-nteatcr; a Madagascar dog, a Danish boar hound, one grown St. Bernard dog, and three St. Bernard All these interestirur beasts, with theitr owners, had come here on a French liner from Marseilles. The land lord didn't think he had rooms suitable for the pets, so a local wild beast dealer was called in.

He could lodge the beasts, he said, and this settled, the guests started out to see New York's streets. Crowds of small boys soon gathered in their train, commenting audibly upon the countess peculiar costume. The countess afterward ex plained that she is the victim of the bloomer and animal fads. Incidentally she likes to investigate life as It really is in the large centers of population. "You see," explained Mx.

Brook, "we are on our way to Australia, and expect to stop in Texas to procure a small grizzly bear." MAGICIAN ASKS HANNA'S HELP. Amoslng Incident la the Tneater of Which Mark lu the Owner. Chevalier was accorded a hearty re ception at the opera house in Cleveland the other night, and incidentally Mar cus A. Manna came to the surface on a wave of popular clamor, and in his own theater at that. The unlooked-for out burst caused the chairman of the na tional republican committee to blush like a maiden and become decidedly un easy, while the members of his box party, the occupants of the other boxes and the large audience tvere either cheering for or sympathizing with him.

It all happened this way: Chevalier has in his company Charlies Bertram, the English magical entertainer. Bertram looks for all the world like the prince of Wales. He performed a num ber of tricks, something like the ones Gus Hartz started out in life with. He got to a point where he needed a witness on the stage, and, as all magicians do, "wandered down into the orchestra trying to induce some one to go on the ctage. Then some onei, evidently enjoying the humorous, loudly suggested Mark Hanna.

There was a sudden burst of applause that was repeated time and again. Even James H. Hoyt burst his white "kids" in his efforts to get Marcus on tho stage. Bertram had un doubtedly heard of Hanna, but it was some time before he realized that it was that great man who was in the audi ence. 1 hen he located Marcus and urged in vain.

Things quieted down. until a "boy in the gallery broke out with "What's the matter with Mark Han na?" Then there was a parting volley and the performance went on. Bertram got a member of the company to help him and the excitement was at an end. NEW SYSTEM OF FILTRATION. Consul Mason, at Worms, Germany, Makes an Interesting Report.

Now that the citiies of the Atlantic coast and those deriving their waters from the great lakes are generally dis cussing the subject of filtration of drinking water, a special report from United States Consul Mason, at Frank fort. UDOn the new evstem of filterina" practiced at Worms, Germany, is timely. The foundation of this system, which illustrated in. important details in the report, is the drawing of the water through hollow plaques composed of sharp sand fused with broken glass. forming a porous material.

The fig ures adduced by the consul show a wonderful economy in first cost, in space occupied and in cost of maintenance for this new system as compared with the standard sand filtration plan. At Worms the two systems are worked side by side, and a long series of an alyses shows that in efficiency they are practically identical so far as regards the chemical purity of the water. The percentage of bacteria left by the plaque process is somewhat greater than in the sand filter when the latter clean, but the water is certified by high authority to be thoroughly purified and fitted for drinking. No Chimneys in Mexieo. From the top of the cathedral spire ui Mexico you can see the entire city, and the most striking feature of the view is the absence of chimneys.

There is not a chimney in all Mexico; not a grate. nor a stove, nor a furnace. All the cooking is done with charcoal in Dutch ovens, and while the gas is sometimes offensive one soon becomes used to it. Mnch Obliged. The postoffice inspector spent Monday afternoon and evening in the Eureka postoffice and found everything in first-class order.

The writer has done business with many different postoffices, his experience as a publisher bejng with three different offices, and can say that so far as he has knowledge of postal regulations, the Eureka postoffice is conducted in closer conformity to the regulations than any other with which he has had business. Eureka Union. Teachers Examinat ion. An examination for teachers' certificates will be held in the East Side school building, in Eureka, Kansas, Saturday January 30th, 1897, beginning at 7:30 a. m.

Jinks Smothers, County Superintendent. One thing is certain: It will not do to fool with a bad cold. No one can tell what the end will be. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not consumption, invariably result from a neglected cold. It is surprising too, that bad colds are so often neglected when one remembers how easily and at what little expense they may be cured.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is always prompt and effectual, and costs but a trifle; 25 or 50 cents is a trifle as compared with the disastrous effects of a neglected cold. Mr. Abner Mercer, of Dilworthtown, Chester county in speaking of this remedy, said: "Sometime ago I had a bad cold and cough. I tried almost everything. Finally Mr.

Hunt, the druggist, recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and one 50-cent bottle of it cured me entirely." For sale by H. C. Kendrick. A CHRISTIAN PREACHER. Rev.

Sheldon, of Topeka. Finds Time to Serve the Lord Along Script orl l.iur. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, whose lecture at the Congresrational church a year or two ago is rfmemberwi by many of our people, believes in the religion of doing good in the world.

He tries to help unfortunate human'ty temporally as well as spiritually. Rev. Sheldon spent last week in the vain endeavor to find work for a man who appealed to him. He vividly brought the subject of the unemployed in genera and of that special case in particular before his congregation Sunday by giving the following recital of his experience: "A few days ago a man came to me and asked if I could find him a job. He had a team and wanted work for that also.

"I have just spent a week in this city trying to find a place where this man and his team can get work and I have failed. I have been to the railroads, the coal yards, the flouring mills, the new bridge, the street department, the city railway, the lumber yards and the newspapers. I have inquired at stores and banks and offices, of men in public and in private life and have not found any one who could tell me where a man with a team could find any steady or temporary employment. "This man has a family. He has lost his two oldest children recently after long and expensive illness.

He will lose his home this spring. He is adrift in the world, only one out of thousands of such human tragedies all about us. "What will you do with him? I ad dress this question to the city of Topeka, and the state of Kansas and the United States of America. Is he simply an object of private charity or county support? What is the duty of the community to him? Has it any? What is the duty of the state to him? Has it any? In any case, there is the man. And what are you going to do with him? "Suppose you say to him, 'It is your own fault.

Get out and find work. There is plenty of work for honest, capable, willing "What is his answer? It is the answer of two million other men who are in the same condition today. 'Can we manufacture places? Can we create jobs? Can we get work if there is "Suppose we say to this man, 'Rest easy. We will see to it that you don't starve. We will give you food and fuel.

"What is his answer? He says: I don't want charity; I want work. I don't want to be a pauper; I want to be a working man. I don't want to lose my manhood. I have too much self And his answer is right. How many of you average citizens, bankers, grocers, railroad men, doctors, lawyers, clerks, legislators, college professors, would like to receive your food and fuel from the poor commis-misioner? "This man with a team who wants work and cannot get it is a human in-' terrogation mark to this city and state and nation.

He is one of the two mil-1 lion. He is to be found in every state of this nation. What is the nation going to do with him?" State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J.
