TUESDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1889. Methodist Church. The Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church have recently presented the church with a beautiful gold lined silver communion set, consisting of two chalaces, two plates, one dagon, and one baptismal bowl.Washington Republican.

The members of the M. E. church are repairing the church in this city this week. The repairs consist of the taking out of the partition, making the room all in one, and ceiling, papering and painting the entire inte-Smith Center Bulletin. The public exercises in connection with the semi-annual meeting of the bishops will be a reception at First church on Friday evening, November 8, and a meeting at Grand Opera house on the Monday evening following in the interest of the new university, at which several of the bishops will speak.

Ministers, or laymen, who visit Topeka during the bishop's meeting are cordially inyited to call at the office of the University of Topeka in the J. D. Knox building, 634 Kansas avenue, entrance on 7th street, where a plat may be seen, and arrangements made to take them out to the grounds. Transportation free. R.

WAKE, Agent. The protracted meeting held at the M. E. church in this city during the past three weeks, continues with abated interest. About 25 persons have experienced religion and united with the church, and many others are seeking.

The Star is pleased to chronicle this and all other demonstrations of a religious and moral character, for it is to the credit of any city or community to say to the world that God is acknowledged, honored and revered by the Star. Rev. Allen, in his Sunday-school talk at the M. E. church Sunday evening, stated the case in regard to denominational differances, in a very clear and, we think, proper light.

He said some people imagined there was great dissension and strife between the churches, and thought there ought to be a union of all under one organization. It was a mistake. The evangelical churches of to-day constitute the grandest union this world ever witnessed, cemented by a common interest and a single aim, each according to the other the broadest possible liberty in its methods for accomplishing its work. Whatever of rivalry exists, he regards as a most essential factor to progress, and if this spirit of rivalry could be suddenly suppressed a stagnation would be manifest inside of five Journal.

We had a pleasant visit the other day from Brother Samuel Alexander, pastor of Trinity M. E. church, Council Bluffs. He is in the midst of church building, and is having splendid success.

He preaches nearly every Sabbath. He has been active in the ministry too long to entirely quit the pulpit. In his character he will not allow the official to outrank the minister. Brother Stephen Griffis, pastor at Lowman Hill M. E.

Dr. Barnard Kelly will not be confined to his office, as pension agent. He preaches nearly every somewhere Sunday that it has been our pleasure to hear. The subject Sunday night was "Daniel," and combining the sublime character, Daniel, with the collosal grandeur, eloquence and power with which it was presented was irresistable, and if anyone who heard that sermon was unmoved by it, it might well be said: "Let him alone, he is joined to his Star. Obituary.

Lucy J. Flesher was the youngest daughter of S. J. and Fanny Rundel, and was born in Calhoun county, Michigan, July 6th, 1849, and died of consumption in Phillipsburg, Kansas, October 7th, 1889. She was converted when seventeen years old, was married to her now sorely bereaved husband January 5th, 1871, and with him came to Kansas the following March and settled in Smith county, where they secured a home, identifying themselves with our church.

In the providence of God a wider field of Christian activity was soon opened to Rev. and Sister Fleisher. In March 1877 she gave up her home and took upon herself the ous responsibilities of becoming a Methodist preacher's wife; this to one who naturally loved home and permanence meant a great deal, but pure love for Christ and devotion to her husband led her to make the sacrifice and for twelve years she has been one of the most faithful, unassuming and self-sacrificing Christian women with whom it has been my pleasure to come acquainted. "To know Sister Fleisher you must know her in her home and in her local church relations," said one who had often met her in prayer and class, "her sweet Christian prayers and testimonials we can never forget." Last winter her health failed her and in early spring her husband took her to the mountains of Washington territory hoping she would regain her strength, but, alas! it soon became evident that consumption had fastened upon her and, in defiance of climate and medicine, she gradually grew worse and in September her husband came to Phillipsburg with her, to await the final summons among kind relatives and friends. During the last month of her life I visited her often, and such triumphant victory over death one rarely witnesses.

To her husband, children and friends she said, "Weep not for me; death to me is a pleasure while Jesus is so precious;" and as her feet entered the river she kissed her loved ones good-bye and went asleep in Jesus. So lived and died one of the best women of our Methodism in Kansas. On the afternoon of October 9th we laid her tenderly away in the presence of a large and deeply congregation. The funeral sermon was preached by the writer, by request of herself, from Rev. 14: 13.

Phillipsburg, Kansas. H. H. Young's Medical Well has in the space of three or four months become famous throughout the west for its health-producing qualities. Thousands upon thousands of people have "drank at the fountain;" thousands of others have carried the water away or had it shipped to them.

Far and near, men bear witness to its wonderful effects. Any one can order the water sent to them.and it will be forwarded, however far, at 25 cents a gallon. There is no charge for all you can drink at the well. The natural gas flame will keep you warm while you drink at the fountain of life.

Corner of Vine and 25th Streets, Kansas City, Mo. CATARRA. A New Home Treatment for the Cure of Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness Hay Fever.

The microscope has proved that these diseases are contagious, and that they to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the upper air passages and eustachian tubes. The eminent scientists. Tyndall, Huxley and Beale endorse this. and these authorities cannot be disputed. The regular method of treating these diseases is to apply an irritant remedy weekly and even daily, thus keeping the delicate membrane in a constant state of irritation, accompanied by violent sneezing, allowing it no chance to heal, and as a natural consequence of such treatment not one permanent cure has ever been recorded.

It is an absolute fact that these diseases cannot be cured by any application made oftener than once in two weeks, for the membrane must get a chance to heal before any application is repeated. It is now seven years since Mr. Dixon discovered the parasite in catarrh and formulated his new treatment, and since then his remedy has become a household word in every country where the English language is spoken. Cures effected by him seven years ago are cures still, there having been no return of the disease. So highly are these remedies valued, and so great is the demand for them, that ignorant imitators have started up everywhere, pretending to destroy a parasite, of which they know nothing, by remedies the results of the ignorant.
