But sometimes consistency is not the distinguishing characteristic of official actions. By refusing to sanction the theft of the office, which was more glaring and insolent than the stealing of the other county offices, Governor Stone has demonstrated that he is in earn- est endeavor to protect the rights of the people. He also demonstrates how powerful is one honest official in the right place and how effectual- ly he can thwart the dishonest efforts of a disreputable gang. WOMEN TREATED FREE.

A ruror is in circulation that Mr. Bland has rejected the New Testa- mect. It is stated that he recently read in Revelations that the New Jerusalem is paved with gold and he is now satisfied that the whole plan of salvation is a scheme of the gold bugs to put Heaven on a gold basis. We are informed that the democratic county committee will at once be called to endorse Mr. Bland’s position.—Lebanon Republican. in the Path of the Storm. Riley, Kan., June 3.—The cyclone which struck here yesterday dida great deal of damage. Two office buildings and a blacksmith shop were blown down, besides a lumber shed and about twenty barns. Large holes were made in the roof of the Methodist church and two other buildings. The Rock Island wind mill at the water tank was destroy- ed. Several corn cribs that were blowing through the air caught an unknown man and buried him under the timber. After an hour’s work he was chopped out, badly bruised. In the country only a few houses were blown down. Summit Township Sunday School Con- vention, Elizabeth Chapel June 9 PROGRAMME. The work of the Superintendent, G. W. Fowler.
