us. Dr. Villers captured his audience, which
was a large one, lit the opening, and kept
them in a continuous, roar of laughter foran
hour and a hall. His description of a rural
debating society was perfect, as was his im
personation of Jodi Billings and other cele
urated humorists, while a' a ventriloquist
he is certainly the best ever heard in Som

far superior in character to the ordinary

On Friday night last Mr. Will Traup, a
clerk in Schel!'. hardware and stove store,
stopped on his wav home from the skating
rink, to leave his skates at thestore. He
noticed that the door at the rear of the store
was ajar, and walked back, closed it, and
was just steppingout of the frontdoor when
his attention was attracted by a slightnoise.
He at once struck a light, and discovered in
the middle of the floor a large collection of
tinw are tied together and ready for removal
A further search revealed the form of a man
hiding beneath a range. Traup took him by
the collar, stood him on his feet, and was
much surprised to recognize John Durst, a
yonng man living on the outskirts of town.
Troup says Durst offered him f2f if he would
let him go and promise not to tell. He ad
mitted that he had a pal outside, but refused
to give his name. Owiii to the lateness of
the hour he allowed Durst to go, but
promptly reported the matter to hi em
ployer m the morning. Durst will be re
membered as the young man who shot
himself a few month, ago. Durst has skip
ped, but the officers are keeping a sharp
look out for him. A nnmlier of the stores
in town have been broken into durfiig the
past few months, and the merchants have
made up their minds to put a stop to it.

kick of some of the stockholders who de
manded the appointment of a committee to
investigate the books find accounts of the
road with reference to its dealing, with the
Baltimore A Ohio, and that the member, of
the committee be in no manner connected
with the Baltimore & Ohio company. The
I movement is haikedby a number of the
minority of stockholders and i. aaid to be
only preliminary to legal proceedings to
compel the B. A O. to account for the im
mense sum. received by mortgaging this
now valuable and paying piece of Railroad
property. They are informed that the five
millions or more realized from the recent
consolidated $10,000,0(0 mortgage was par
tially or wholly expended upon the Phila
delphia bunch. It is also said that the
several million, realised some year, ago out
of the first consolidated mortgage of $o.000,
0 50 were spent npon a piec of road in Ohio,
now a prrt of the Chicago route. There are
about 3S, 00 share, of stock, .12,000 ot which

Hooveesville Items.
Butchering time is about over for this sea
son. Snow is scarce in this vicinity, and as. a
matter ot course no sledding.
The camp train wiil ho moved from here
to Sand Patch-on Sunday next. At least it
is bo reported.
The interment of Isaiah Rodgers, whose
tragic death you announced in the last issue
of the HiKalo. took place at Hooversville
cemetery on Wednesday, December 9th, at
11 o'clock a. m. The sad occasion was im
proved appropriately by Elder McCalluui, of
the Disciple Church, from the well known
words, " Write, blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth ; yea, saith
the Spirit, that they may rest from their la
bors, and their works do follow them.
Truly this neighborhood lost a good citizen,
one who was diligent in business, and the
Disciple Church one of her most zealous ami
liberal members.

andtrbilt s will was read by more per
sons and with a great deal more interest than
was President Cleveland's message, consid
ering that none of them were mentioned in
either. As an instance of (his we quote the
following 1 rem the Xew York 77mM, where
the author not only read the will but took
out his pencil and "figgered on it" :
"Let ns try and describe Mr. Vanderbilt's
great foil line in terms of linear, square and
cubic measurement and of weight. Every
body understands these terms and they
make a definite impression on men's minds.
If this sum of $200,0iO,(XO were in stand
ard silver dollars it would present such fea
tures as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it
would stretch a distance of 4.072 miles, mak
ing a silver streak from Xew York across the
ocean to Liverpor.l.
1'iled up, dollar on dollar, it would reach
aheighth of "5 miles.
I-aid flat on the ground, the dollars would
cover a space of nearly CO res.
The weight of this mass of .ilver would be
7,H0 tons.
To transport it wonld require cars,
carrying 20 tons each (th-s is the capacity of
the strongest treight ears) and making a
train just about 2 1-2 miles long.
On ordinary grades it would require 12 lo
comotives to haul this train. On roads of
steep grades and sharp curves, 15 or 0 hco
motives would be needed.
In one dollar bills this two-hnndred-niil-lion-dollar
fortune would assume such
shapes as this :
The bills stretched lengthwtse would ex
tend 2.1,071 miles, or nearly the circumfer
ence of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as leaves in

Mb. KniToB : Among your patrons there
may be some desirous ot seeing an item from
Western Kana. I am located about fifty
mil south of the parallel passing through
Somerset. There is a vast difTerenoe in tem
perature, however. We have had no snow
falls yet, this season. Cattle are still graz
ing on the prairies. The weather is pleas
ant, as the heat is not oppressive or the cold
severe, at this season of the J e:ir. This is
no wood, but a corn country. Timber is
found only along the hanks of rivers and
streams. The vnrit-ties are boxelder. ash,
elm, walnut, and Cottonwood. This part of
the State is well watered, as can be observ
ed by tracing the north fork of Solomon
river through Norton county.
There U a vatt area of farming land, free
trom surface stone, and composed of dark,
ricti, sainlv loam, covered with a heavy sod,
the same being used extensively in the erec
tion of barns and sheds, and by some for
dwellings. It is claimed to make a com
fortable house, being warm in winter and
cool in' summer. Among these structures
may be found some, with bay windows and
arched doors. The more primitive struct-
ures were built regardless of taste, some liv-
... , ' !

ing in holes, or excavations made along the
banks of ravines and covered with poles,
twigs and sod. The era of sod bnildingis
almost over. Society is improving. Frame
structures are being erected, and immense
cribs in which to store corn. Much of the
corn is thrown on piles, similar to stone on
some of the eastern farms.
At present corn is worth 25 cents per bush
el, while coal rates about the same. The
former is extensively used as fuel by many
of the fanners. The land is not adapted to
corn growing only, but small grain and veg
etables, snch as potatoes, melons, sweets,
etc., are successfully grown here. Trices of
tarld vary according to quality and location.
Eight hundred dollars will buy s good farm
of 100 acres, within three or fonr miles of
the railroad. Three years ago land rated at
two dollars per acre. Farming land is not
enclosed by fence. The herd law is in force
here, that is for every one to care for their
own stock, and not allow them to trespass.
It is a common sight to meet a herder
mounted on a twenty dollar pony, with a
forty dollar saddle.
The health of the countrry is good. Cy
clones and earthquakes are feared and felt
no more, and fever and ague is almost un
known. Respectfully,
J. A. G.

forms prescribed by the Act of Assembly
unless they show that they have conscien
tious scruple, in the matter. The Courts
action meet with general approval and
hearty commendation.
G is r limes : From some remarks made
in your presence, when constable, and
grand jurors were about to be sworn, you
would naturally infer that the Court looks
upon the growing custom of men in judicial
proceedings claiming to make simple affir
mation instead of making a direct appeal to
Almighty tied, in confirmation of truth, by
taking one of the solemn forms of an oath,
as a custom fraught with great evil to the
public good, -,nd tending to weaken the
sanction of oaths or atlirmatioos in any
form, and to demoralize judicial proceed
ings. We have no doubt of it, whatever.
No one has greater respect for that noble
class of Christians who make a liberal ap
plication of the teachings of the Master in
Matth. fi from 34 to 33 : " 1 ay unto you,
swear not at all ; neither by Heaven, for it
is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is
His footstool ; neither by Jerusalem, for it
is the city of the Great King ; neither shall
thou swear by thy head, because thou canst
not make one hair black or white, hut let
vour communication be yea, yea, nay, nay;
for whatsoever is more than these, cometh
ofevil."
And also of the passage in the Epistle of
James. 5.12. Above all my brethren, swear
not, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth,
neither by any other oath, but let your yea
lie yea and your nay nay, lest ye come into
condemnation."
And though I personally do not agree that
these passages have any reference whatever
to the taking of an oath in judicial proceed
ings, 1 neverineiess give an men credit lor
equal sincerity and pure motives who con
strue them differently, and as by law men
may qualify themselves according to their
conscientious persuasion by taking a corpo
ral oath or an affirmation, no one will more
cheerfully concede the right of all good citi
zens to decule for themselves whether they
shall conscientiously refuse to take the oath,
aud when any one refuses to take the cor
poral oath on account of conscientious per
suasion we shall permit him to affirm. The
law reads:
Be it enucttd. That all and all manner of
crimes and offences, matters and cause,
whatsoever to be inquired of, heard, tried
and determined, by virtue of this or any oth
er act or law of this province, or otherwise,
shall and may be inquired of, heard, tried
and determined by judges, justices, inquests
and witnesses qualifying themselves accord
ing lo their conscientious persuasion respec
tively, either by taking a corporal oath, or
by the solemn affirmation allowed by act of
parliament to those calleO QuaKers, in Great
Britain; which affirmation of such persons
as conscientiously refuse to tske an oath,
all be accounted and deemed in the law
aye the full effect of an oath, li any
case whatsoever in this province. And ail
such persona as shall be convicted of fnlselv
and corrnptly affirming or declaring any
matter or thing, which, it the same had been
upon oath, would by law amount to willful
and corrupt perjurv, shall incur the same
penalties, disabilities and forfeituies, as per- j
sons convicted of willful perjury do incur by
the laws of Great Britain.
All and all manner of crimes, offences,
matters, causes aud things whatsoever, to be
inquired of, heard tried and determined, or
done or performed, by virtue of any law in
this province, or otherwise, shall and may
be inquired of, heard, tried and determined,
by judges, justices, witnesses and inquest,
and all other persons qualifying; themselves,
according to their conscientious persuasion
respectively, either by taking the solemn af
firmation, or any oath in the usual and com
mon form by laying the hand upon and
kissing the book, or by lifting np the right
hand, and pronouncing or assenting to the
.following words: , .4. '., do (wear y .4-
rittyhttt God. the nearrlter of ullhfnrU, that I will
.. aud OmioxI than aiwcr to (iod nt
tit!,!.)! Which oath so taken by rer -
sons who conscientiously refuse to take an
oath in the common form, shall be deemed
and taken in law, to have the same fried
with an oath taken in the common form.
Whether a strict construction of the
woid crMiasion, as used in the law refers
to the creed or belief of one who is a mem
ber of a particular Christian church that
toai'lies, the unlawfulness of tukmg a
corporal oath, we will not now discii.-s
or decide, though how it should be made
ia apply to persons of full ae, standing
aloof from all church connection, not
Mohammedan, Catholic or Protestant.Jwe
can't well conceive.
I'nder the old dispensation we read, Dt-ut.
10 :'0 : " Thou shiilt fear the Lord thy God ;
Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shait
thon cleave, and shsJt furor by His name."
If the new Jipenalion only binds those
accepting Clir ist, the old is, besides being the
law to the Jews, in harmony also in this
point with the law of nature andobligitin g,
on all, and in it we read not of affirmation
A lawful oath form a part of the moral
wonhi, and the moral worship of God -is
perpetual. The safety of communities and
men consists in the maintenance of truth.
An oath is a calling on God, as the one who
knows the heart that he will bear witness to
the truth, and punish n.e if I swear falsely.
That the Apostles made use of an oath is too
plain for cavil ; ft. Paul says, "God is my
witnes whom I serve with my spirit in the
Gos-pcl of His Son. that without ceasing I
wake mention of you always. Again, I call
Gm1 for a record on ny soul that to spare
you I came not as yet unto Corinth. But I
came not as a preacher I want to challenge
the minds and consciences of the- jurors, by
referring them to cenai i sound ririiH'ijileH,
in the hope that s gx,d uin and true
will stand forth t nurugeously, and hi-Ip i
maintain the sacrt-1 obligation of the oath
as a continuation uf the truth, and in the
hope that suou of th?iu a have n'.i conscieu-
! tions persuasion that compels them to refuse
' to be sworn, will freely and cheerfully take
the oath in mat I.irra wincn to tliem leems
the most solemn andimpressiveand as mo-it
l : i- ..i .. ... u .. i . ... .... . . i . ,
, . , , .... , , . .
solemnity of the act, to the end that witness-
-
e may come to regard the binding obliga-
tionof the oath as it was wont to be remind
ed in former days.
All that is done in Court is supposed to
be done under the solemnity and sanction
of an oath. I repeat, you have no right to
stand up and affirm from mere choice and
habit ; you only have such right if you have
a conscientious persuasion, and, when you
have such conscientious persuasion, the
Court will not only respect it, but also give
you great credit for asserting it.
Don't think for a moment the Court fears
you will do less than your duty nnder any
form of oath. What we are doing is to
gnard this citadel of justice from the inroad
of a custom that is becoming so general
that it is becoming alarming. For the in
crease of affirmation is far ahead of the in
crease of either morality, or a sound faith.
