Rev. Radcliffe the genial pastor

will have occasion to be over- joyed

when he enters his pulpit next Sun-day

and its quite probable that when

he lifts' his eyes above his audience

to behold the magnificence of mans

work that his thoughts may elevate to

the Grandeur of that city on high

with its gold paved streets. There

is no just reason why a church house

should not be in keeping with the

times and now that the Greentown

M. E. church is one that will out-rank

almost any church in a city of

this size, is certainly most gratifying

to both pastor and members, and in

reality Greentown herself is proud of

such elegant houses of worship.

CHICKEN THIEVES.

Their Work in Eastern Howard

on a Wholesale Scale.

After several months untnolestful-ness,

the farmers of Eastern Howard

who chance to have a surplus of

poultry are again the victims of

chicken stealing on a wholesale scale.

That is the work of robbing the

hennery is done by two or three big

lazy galoots who have a wagon and

coops along to haul them away in,

the task of carrying off two or three

dozen big fat hens being too laborious

for a single nights work, and in some

instance: the thieves are too selfish

to leave enough behind for the irate

farmers wife to begin the raising of

another brood.

Farmer J. H. , Uphaus was in the

city Friday and said that he was the

loser of nearly three dozen while

others tar him had shared a like

fate. I the farms of Amos Ball and

Millions of Hoppers.

at Die scan ports ostensibly for New

York, but really to carry provisions, arms

and ammunition to Cuba and attempt to

avoid the blockade and effect a landing.

This matter has been communicated by

the Cuban representative at Mexico to

the Cuban junta in Washington for the

purpose of informing the American Gov-ernment

of the scheme. The measure has

already passed the Chamber of Deputies

and as effort will be made by the Cuban

sympathizers in Mexico to secure its de-feat

in the Senate. The purpose of the

act, it is stated, was not known to many

of the deputies, and it is believed that had

it been the bill would not have passed

that house. The Villa- Verdes is the vessel

which was fitted out several months ago

on a filibustering expedition with supplies

obtained in Mexico for the relief of the

Cubans, but was captured by the Gov-ernment

before it had left port and com-pelled

to unload its cargo.

Weary Willies Must Wat.

Led on by the success of the 200 men

who recently took possession of the Santa

Fe freight train east of Newton, Kan.,

and directed its course to Central West-ern

Kansas in search of work in the har-vest

fields, sixty men attempted the same

* method of procedure at Newton and fail-ed.

There were points of difference in the

two expeditions which caused their re-sults.

The first expedition was really

looking for work and had numbers to back

It. The second was composed wholly of

tramps, and, instead of looking for work,

was really trying to get beyond the har-vest

fields, and in danger of being pressed

into service. The men made a rush for a

freight train as it left the yards. The

trainmen and yardman resisted and city

officials aided them. The tramps were

thriven out of town. Twenty of the men

who went through on the captured train

the other day have returned and joined a

railroad contractor's gang until harvest

is well on. Most of the others are waiting

for harvest in various parts of Central

and Western Kansas.

Shot by a Pretly Or'.

Burglars broke into the grounds of Mrs.

Margaret Long in Murray Hill avenue,

Pittsburg. They were about to enter the

house by way of a balcony, when Miss

Elizabeth Long awakened. Procuring a

revolver she Crept to a window. In a

tree near the porch she saw- several dark

objects. When they came within range she

fired. At the first shot there was a yell

of pain and a man dropped to the ground.

Another man jumped from the tree and

assisted his- apparently wounded compan-ion

to escape.

Miners in Fear ef Pirstea.

The first boat from Dawson, is expected

at San Frapeisco about July 4, but it is

not likely that any miner will trust his

gold on a vessel unless she is escorted by

a government steamer. There is a very

general impression around Dawson that

Pirates have banded together to attack a

gold- carrying vessel on the high seas and

loot her.

Minirg Claims Are Sold.

Three hundred thousand dollars was

paid by a Minneapolis, Minn., syndicate

for the Glenwood Sunset grpup of mining

claims in Ruby basin, near Deadwood, S.

by P. L. Gibbs of Deadwood and Charles

Waite of New' York. The price is con-sidered

large for undeveloped property,

but it is surrounded by good paying

ground.

Tea Rushed Is.

A special to the Detroit Evening News

from Montreal says that 315,000 pounds

of tea, fifteen carloads, were rushed across

the border to Malone, N. Y., the other

night in order to avoid imposition of the

new 10- cent war revenue tax. Heavy

shipmenta, though on a smaller scale, are

reported from Toronto to the United
