Conventions. The Republican county convention is called to meet Saturday Septr 13 in the courtroom to place in nomination -a clerk of the district court, Probate Judge; County Attorney, County Superintendent, County Surveyor and Commission--, er for the 1st District. The convention will be composed of 145 delegates or one delegate at large for each 20 Republican votes cast Secretary of State in 1888 which was 2,273 votes. There is no measure of opposition or conflict that will be likely to result in any choice but the officers already in authority, their re-nomination for the reason of established precedent and faithfulness of service recommend their selection The 7th Representative District will hold its convention to nominate, a representation, at Galba on the 20th, The delegation will be' chosen on the same basis as for the county convention and then will be Go delegates. So many good men have been mentioned from different parts of the district that the difficulty is not the work of material but all things considered the convention cannot do a better thingto strengthen the ticket than to choose Mr.

Chas. H. Way. In him all differences will be healed and hiscanvan will be a strong and successful one. In the 80th District the convention is to be held at Conwaw, also on the 20th upon same representation basis with 82 delegates.

Mr. Duncan McPhail is the leading candidate and would be a consciencious and competent representative, his gifts are just of the quality needed to help impress on the legislature the need of the adoption of the economic republican measures waate.1 in these times.

Infidelity attempts to becloud the religion of Christ with doubts. Doubt i the parent of indiffe.ence; it says religion may be true, it may be false. Inti-delity manufactures doubts; it asssmes there is only doubt respecting religion. If secular history clashes with sacred history, the secular is chimed as true, the sacred false. Miracles must be set down as untrue, because the finite may not be able to explain their infinity Butwtyset sacred history aside because Moses or Miithe wrote it and not CeasarorCalingua.

Here is a pebble composed of various minerals, compres-ed by forces or melted into its form; it is composed of molecules, the molecules of atoms. Of what aie the atoms composed? Here is mystery, but because it is dare we deny its existence. There are philosophers who wili tell you this is not a real world, i is all sensation. Dreams seem realatieH, why not this life a dream? The schools of medicine ave mystery. The, Ho "eopathist dunbts the "old school, which in turn as roundly doubts them.

There is doubt at every turn; it is not confined to religion. But there are some things we know; they are absolute certainties. Our con-eiousuesB reports certain conditions we realize to be facts. Our ground of thinking is a ground of certainty I see a book. I handle it; thus two of my senses tell me itis.a book.

My judgement corrects my senses. I look down a railroad and it seems to converge to a point, my judgement tells" me it is no narrower than where I stand. A child takes a straight line to reach the mothers arms open to receive it; it has not bet taught the straight course is the shortest eith-er. Memory is a reality: we call up the past and it lives again Reason is a reality; we know twice two makes four. Testimony is certain, and especially testimony that has been sealed with the blood of the testator is true.

As Dr. Bush says: If the tru'h of the Scriptures are not proven testimony, nothing can Ve. The Scriptures rest on evidence tenfold stronger than secular history, and where sacred history has clashed with the profane the sacred has ever been victorious. Objectors said there never was such a veople as the Hitites, whom the scriptures say Joshua and David fought, but a tablet was discovered giving a complete history corroborating the statement of Scripture a to the chronology of their existence 1900 B. C.

Again scholars sneered at the passage in the Acts which 6poke of Sergus Paul-us us pro-consul; profane history said bewas a pro-praetor, or one of the senatorial, not imperial appointees. But truth was again on the side of Scripture for a coin was found bearing the title of Sergus Paulus, pro-consul. The Zander zodiac was discovered and scientists said it plainly proved that man had been in existence millions of years ard it proved the Bible record false. Its heiroglyphics they could not read, but recently a scholar learned to read them and they dated the time of the Roman ascendency.

Moyer who has had fourteen years experience in the hotel bnsiness and is determined to give the public the benefit of the same. He means to keep a hotel in the true sense of the word and invites his patrons, their friends and the public generally to come and en joy the pleasures of a home and the comtorts it affords. Mr. C.

Will Houser, a switchman in the Sante Fe yards met with a serious accident, which" resulted fatally, last Wednesday morning. It seems he had just made a coupling and stepped out from between the cars and got caught between the moving train and the platform. The train was backing up at the time and for a distance of thirty or forty feet it rolled Mr.

The engineer stopped the train as soon as possible and upon examination he was found to be so tightly wedged in between the c-trs and platform as to necessitate the raising of a car before he could be extricated. He was at once taken to his home and medical aid summoned but in spite of all that loving hands could do he passed away Friday morning at 5 o'clock. The funeral took place at the family residence at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The above from our lightly esteemed cotemporary, is the closing paragraph ot its brief article in relation to its opinion that Salina and Newton are unloading their feminine crushed stawberries on us. Its highly moral effort is as usual abortive, from the tact that the information respecting this diabolical outrage seems to have been known to none but its religious and humorous editorial staff and the general indefiniti-nessifits warning make its in at work already on heavy goods Arkansas has gone democratic all over. Buy the best millinery at Mr. Court's. Congress is still talking on sugar, the place to buy it is at the "Star Grocery."

There is a possibility of the Santa Fe buying tht Eagle Mills building for a depot. Wheat is still declining to be pushed up to a price that will make a drop too depressing. Mrs. Strouse's party for the lit-the folks was as merry as forty-five little friends could make it. The delicious cream served at Pyles' parlor is fully up to standard and demand for it increases.

Mr. John Coons is a proverbial worker in wood, he is busy much of the time in patterns for the foundry, Harry Stoner is a genuine brick at varnishing buggies, they rise and shine in a decidedly polished manner. It looks reasonable that McPherson county will raise more wheat next year than the entire state of Wyoming. Canada likes Sherman's reciprocity so does Brazil it means cheap sugar aud coffee. See the Star Grocery about it.

Objectors say: I cannot understand it. Suppose you could, would you accept it? Would vou say it cune from God? Can you understand your own will? How the will causes the arm to move? How the nerves convey the message to the brain? Can you tell hy the same soil produces on one tree pears, on another cherries? We know enough of nature to use it; we can know enough of religion to use it.

We may not with our finite mind understand the Godhead and its attributes, but we may knowenough to appropriate bis His love, we can accept Christ. What would we do in heaven if we understood all its mytdery here? I sometimes think it will be part of the work of eternity to repeal its mystery. "I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the latter dav shall stand on the earth." It is a certainty our thought and history of our life will be open to the Judge of all the earth, and by it you will or will not be commanded to come up higher. Are you trusting? Are you doubting? Why risk eternity for a doubt? Have courage to cast all your doubts and fears on Christ who is "able to save to the uttermost Benediction bv Dr. Fulton.

The one who makes a charge should be specific. When and where was the editor of the I. Uniou on a prolonged drunk with Col. llallowell, so he is sure there is no mistake about it. Col.

llallowell made a speech here on Decoration Day, came quietly away without making any disturbance further than the applause of his speech, and wedo not remember seeing the sunny browed tail-twister of the I.

Pres. Hulse assured him the Society would feel they had a representative in the foreign field, and for it pledged its prayers and financial aid, if needed. At the same hour at the Y. W. rooms a similar service was held for Mrs.
