A case has been commenced in the courts of New York by a lady whose pict lire was printed on cigarette boxes in indecent costume. She is a highly respectable woman and deserves judgement against such villainy and abuse. A law should be passed forbidding the distribution of these vile picture cards, which are put into the hands of our young men and boys, to corrupt their morals and teach them to hold in contempt the virtue and modesty of the opposite sex. To any one traveling over the country it is a mystery why the commissioners do not look better after the condition of the bridges in some parts of our county. In many places there are small wooden concerns put in by the township where there ought to be a strong iron bridge.

Several of these bridges that cost perhaps $G0 or $65 are washed out by the rain and have cost for repairs and reconstruction twice as much as one good, substantial one would cost. It seems that this is being penny-wise and pound-foolish. fine reputation all over the country. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES EQUAL TO THE BEST. Repairing and mending of boots and shoes, as well as harness, is done very neatly by Mr.

One of the busiest men in town is Fine Chance for 3Vew Settlers. One of Sam Jones' latest sayings is: "You can judge at how much a girl values herself by the man she marries." Home missions are receiving much attention by the different churches, and stations are being established in all parts of our large cities. Religious news is solicited for publication from clergymen of all denominations.

Send us your communications and you will oblige us. The Ottawa Chautauqua Assembly was seriously interfered with by the heavy rains. Quite a number returned to their homes on account of the wet weather. The President's order abolishing all military exercises except the dress inspection on Sunday has been received with much favor by the Christian people. Florence night mission in NewYork city is doing much good work among the fallen women of that city.

Many have been reformed and made useful members of society. An appeal was made by the Board of Church Extension of the M. E. Church for $25,000 to repair and rebuild the churches destroyed by the recent floods in Pennsylvania. There are 1200 vacant pulpits in the Presbyterian Church in the United States.

This is partly duo to the fact of the churches of all denominations being organized where there is call for only one. Christian Science seems to be dying out, and is fast sinking into well-deserved oblivion. Its followers, of whom many had left the churches, see the error of their ways, and we are looking for a return of the prodigals. State and Church will undoubtedly soon sever their connection in Great Britain. Gladstone says that in Scot Mr.

This mill was first erected by the town dad, Mr. Gillett, and is now owned by Mr. Ginder. Although the flood washed out the dam several times, it has been rebuilt, and flour is now turned out which stands second to none in the market. Many lines of business well represented could do well in Woodbine, and efforts are now being made to The press in our own and other lands is now full of the brutal fight between those two degraded beings Kilrain and Sullivan.

Our own press makes heroes of them, and comments at large on the ovations given them and the extra trains and palace cars at their disposition. We wonder what Europe thinks of the power our government and police possess when Woodbine is located in the eastern part of Dickinson county, on the' banks of the beautiful Lyons creek. For more than fifteen years past this portion of Dickinson county has been thought of for the location of a town, and a store has been doing a thriving business here for more than that many years. The country around "Woodbine has been settled for more than thirty and is under cultivation to as great an extent as many of our eastern counties. The land is thoroughly fertilized, and fifty bushels of wheat to an acre has not been an uncommon thing.

The only disadvantage to Dickinson county in the past has been that there was no direct outlet for the farmer's produce, but that difficulty has been thoroughly remedied. Several railroads have been built in the past few years, but among others the most energetic and accommodating is the Eock Island Route. This road putting its line through Woobdine about two years ago was the first impetus to forming a town company. Some of the most prominent men in Dickinson county set themselves to work, and soon corn fields and pasture land were converted into a flourishing little town. Nice and roomy store-buildings, shops, and beautiful residences were erected, and a large amount of business was soon drawn to the new city of Woodbine.

The appointment of Rev. Kelley as should be abolished now, and in England it would soon be time to do the same. The religious press of this country is doing much to unite the different denominations on essential points, and is the strongest weapon the church possesses to defend herself against slander and to attack infidelity, immorality and sin. pension agent at opeKa nas been hailed with almost universal approv The fight between the Kansas City Times and the Topeka Capital is a very interesting one, and our state may be proud to have such a champion of its cause and the cause of prohibition as that most excellent paper.

The Times had for a long time been misrepresenting and slandering our state and laws in the most shameful manner. All their charges were based on groundless assertions and hearsay without foundation. The Capital sent a reporter to Kansas City and in a recent issue gave the facts in regard to Kansas City's devastation, under the head of "A Rum Stricken City," picturing the contrast between a prohibition state and a country where open saloons are allowed to decoy the young. Much favorable comment has been made by the Kansas papers, and the boys all stand shoulder to shoulder with the Capital. al.

The only kick which we have noticed is made by the Chapman Courier, which seems to deplore the appointment on the ground of Kel- have a good barber and a harness-maker locate at this point. Our social surroundings are very good. Three trains carrying passengers go west each day and three east, making direct connection to Kansas City, Denver and Chicago. The Woodbine Hotel, although not as elegantly furnished as some, gives good meals and accommodations at very reasonable rates. The Christian church, the German M.

E. and the M. E. churches all have regular services at this place. The Knights of Pythias have a good lodge established, and their membership is steadily increasing.

Music is also plentiful, for our Silver Cornet Band is too widely known to need any mention. Some buildings and improvements have been made this spring and summer, and our experienced carpenter and contractor, Mr. Kirkpatrick, will furnish any one who wishes to build with plans and will do the work well and cheap. To make a long story short, Woodbine takes the cake. ey's being a minister of the Gospel.

We do not plead guilty at any rate: "How do you like that new minister of yours?" asked Deacon Snaggs of Elder Berry. "I'm afraid he's too powerful. We can't stand it." "How's that?"
