Sii.vMSTiioitx, Agent. WHO la lie. The west has been greatly agitated over the appearance of a man who claims to be Christ come on earth again. He began his career in New Mexico by fasting forty days, and then eating an immense dinner which all doctors agreed would kill him. However he felt no bad effects from it, and as it is a well authenticated fact thai he did ihis, we must at least give him credit of having an extraordinary digestive apparatus.

He then claimed to be able to cure all manner of diseases, heal the lame and restore sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. At Albenpienpie New Mexico, ne began his operations and through some means obtained the most implicit and blind eonlidence the Mexicans. They followed him in throngs seeking for restoration to health, getting him to sanctify a cross or a handkerchief to bring prosperity to them and bringing babies for him to bless. Stories without end were circulated of miraculous cures he had effected, some of which are claimed to be authentic. We talked to an eye witness who had personally interviewed this man and he said he had never seen him effect any cures as he did not claim to do it instantly, but told the applicant to believe on him and that his ailment would be cured.

Mr. Me. the e'e witness of whom we speak said this man spent most of the time in prayer and said God gave him power to do all these things he was doing. He would accept no money, unless it was to instantly turn and give it to some poor person in the crowd around him. Mr.

Ale showed us the photograph of this great healer, which certainly does bear a striking to the traditional picture of Jesus Christ. He is now in Denver where he is still attracting the same attention and gaining the confidence of everyone. The magic cures he effects are still as much spoken of and all who see him are impressed with the fact that he is not an impostor, but absolute proof of his works is not yet to us forth coming. Our brother-in-law L. G.

Lebrecht of Harper, Kansas, passed through Canton last Sunday night on his return from a visit to Denver where he had been having his boy treated for catarrh, and he says there is no doubt that this man has miraculous power. We don't know what to think on the subject. Either this man is what he claims to be or he has made fools of more people than any man ou the pages of human history. If he is what he claims, then the bible is a fraud, or else wc don't understand il right. Time will tell.

He announces that he will go to Chicago this winter and cure it. If he stands the test there in sinful, rotten, Chicago he must be supernatural. Wc have a handkerchief at our house that bears his picture in a crude way, which is supposed by the giver, to possess miraculous powers. If some one with the tooth ache wishes to test its powers we will gladly produce it and think it will effect a cure sometime. that will gladden tlieii hearts and silence competition.

C. J. Tukpin, Agent. SncUerx Still tt.io. This week a soap peddler came through'town and soft-soaped several of our estimable ladies into buying some of his soap at fancy prices, representing to them that he gave a handsome premium with each purchase.

another a silver plated cake stand and so on. He got several doliars around town from the gullible, but before he left they got wind of his duplicity and marched down to the train and collared Soft-soap and made him give back part of the money. They were plucky to do so and lucky to get any of it and we hope they will now be content to buy their soap of our home merchants where they won't get swindled. As long as people patronize peddlers, peddlers will continue to swindle the people. We are not sorry for them and hope if they have not Sour Krout is ripe at Chapin Wick-liam's.

A more accommodating, trustworthy man than Geo.

Ball, whose card you will find in this paper, can not be found anywhere. We appreciate his kindness to us, and wish every man in town was like him, what a rousing good town we would have. We have not a world of complaint to find with tne rest of the business men, as they are the nicest class of men here we ever had the good fortune to do busi ness with. Of course there are some cranks and sore heads, but such men as Mr. Ball, Mr.

Brandt, Wickham, Russel, McGill and oh a host of others, go far toward redeeming any town. Frank Lincoln was arrested last Saturday morning north of Canton charged with stealing a wagon of E. F. Roach. Roach had traded a claim in Oklahoma for the wagon and was just ready to start for Illinois when the thief concluded he had greatest need of a vehicle and took it away.

Lincoln was brought in Saturday night by John Zimmerman and Jerry Seitz and lodged in jail. The stolen wagon had been taken apart and hidden In a clump of plum bushes where they found a lot of plunder which had been stolen and hidden there.

We took a business trip to the pretty little town of Galva this week and got acquainted with some of the business men. We found quite a nice little town there and two fine large stores that would be a credit to a much larger town Reynolds' and Deuprees'. Mr. Siin-monds has also a neat little place, wel stocked with good groceries and seemingly getting all of his share of the trade.

He is a verv pleasant gentleman, and business to the core. Mr. L. G. Miller, the general manager of the Galva lumber company treated us most cordially, as also did Mr.

McVeifh, the hardware man. We expected to come back on the "Rocky" freight which was due at 3 but as it was late, we spent the time in furthering our acquaintance through the town. We found a spendid school building and a hustling, progressive principal, Geo. Barkley. At six we found the train an additional 3 hours late, so we shouldered our dignity and walked home.

We don't object to a little exercise, but if the Rock Island expects us to walk on their old track very often they must ballast it with something besides mud. si Ask Merit Barnum which is the best vay to scare a little dog, to fall on his Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots Shoes, 0 3 Hats, Caps, Notions, Oils, Seeds etc. I with goods marked down on Cash' Basis si! at 71; Canton Co-Qpcrativs Stock Ci. f08e or on his back. you want to keep your eye on Frank 'ijrs.
