Bullock say that A. M. Wal- lace, of Hume, Mo., ts to be the next Deputy Sheriff, and that theappoint- ment will be made immediately after Mr. Bullock goes into office, It is said that Mr. Bullock made no pre-election promises, but selected Mr. Wallace, whom he hasintimately known for many years, shortly after he recelved the nomination. When |asked by Mr. Bullock at the time it ‘he would accept the deputyship, Mr. Wallace refused to givea final an- /swer. He passed through this city last Saturday on his way to Adrian, presumably tv consult Mr. Bullock and to accept the appointment. Mr. Wallace !s an old settler and /an old line Democrat. He was post- |master at Hume under Cleveland’s | last administration and made a very | popular officer, He fe at present Ae- }sessor of Howard township. That | he will make a most efficient deputy | goes without question and we will wel- {come this most excellent cltizen to the county seat. | Christianity Wanted—Not Re- ligion. | The Adrian Journal makes the fol- lowing observations in commenting | upon the revival meetings being held in Butler in the big tabernacle. “We wish them success, provided they seach Christianity instead of Religion, | There {se nothing more beautiful than | the teachings and life of Christ, and nothing more baneful than religion | without these’ principles. The Jews | who persecuted and crucified Christ were church members and devoutly religious, they gave a tenth to the church and observed all of its ordi- nances, but they had not the Christ | Spirit. We know of no power for |good that has done and is doing | more for the world than that which emanates from Calvary. Again the |Journal wishes the Butler revival jsuccess so far asit seeksto make men better by inducing thom to fol- | low the teachings of Christ, not alone | on Sunday, but in life’s dally strug gle.” | Rebekahs to Adrian.

Kansas City, Nov. 17.—Natural gas that escaped from rubber tubes ex- ploded Tuesday morning in a commis- sion house at 523 Walnut street. One man and a boy are dead and seven men and boys are injured as a result, The building a three-story structure with a basement, is occupied by the Kellogg & Phillips Commission com- pany and the H, L, Nicol Fruit and Produce company, This was the situa- tion in the building at the time: In the glass enclosed business office H, L. Nichol and Ralph Rosendale, a bookkeeper, were working over ac- counts at a standing desk. In the back room of the building Joseph Stowers, a salesman, was egg cases. In the banana room in the basement Antonio Picone, an Italian foreman employed by Joseph Defeo of the city market was working. And in the alley were a dozen small boys on roller skates, The bookkeeper and Mr. Nichol in the glass office on the first floor paus- ed a minute. The bookkeeper loked up at the clock and saw it was 5 min- utes to 11—a good time to eat an ap- ple. Then— ed; an the floor appeared to sink, The glass in the office enclosure fell with acrash. One big window sash poised a hail of broken glass was Jown from the skylight. In a moment, from the back of the building and the basement, shireks and groans sounded. Through the dust hurled the office ran back to where the cries the salesman, lying pinned under cases of eggs with his right leg broken and right knee dislocated. In the al- one of the roller skaters, was so stun- ned by the concussion that he died a the emergency hospital. In the base- ment, dead and crshed under a huge pile of unripened bananas, was Picone, were injured. The from small flattened-out gas stoves in which natural gas is used. A. B. Mac- beth, inspection after the explosion. said that it was probably due escaping gas that had leaked through rubber tubes. These, he found, had been used in some places to make con- nections to the stoves. The rubber rots and the gas escapes through holes so small that they are not noticeable, but which acucmulate gas for an ex- plosion, The use of the rubber tubes is strictly against all the company's tules, Mr, Macbeth said, and a viola- tion of the city building ordinances. It was some time before the O’Brien boy was identified. ~He was uncon- scious when taken to the emergency hospital and died soon afterwards. About an hour after the explosion the father went to ‘the hospital, “My God! It’s my poor little boy,” he cried. “He was given a vacation at the Karnes school to-day.” He For More Safety in Mines, Paris, Nov. 17.—Minister Barthou of public works witnessed a series of suc- cessful experiments Tuesday to pre- vent explosions in mines. The tests were held at a station established shortly after the fatal Courrieres dis- aster by the colliery owners of Lievin, At their conclusion M. Barthou ex- pressed the belief that the danger from coal dust conflagrations in mines following explosions of fire damp could henceforth be prevented. A. Circular Saw Killed Him.

He neglected his own business, and spent his own money and the firm’s money to advance his own and:his party’s Interest, until finally he was con- fronted with a great defalcation, Thie man talke as if politics was a low, vile thing that made it necessary for a man to dowrong. Thatis some people’s idea of politics, They think {t 1s an opportunity for a man to do a. low thing even to bribe and steal, to gain bis point. There are men who will give $3 to a worthless heeler for\the sole purpose of buying him. They think politics accords them this privilege. That fsashame. Polltics ought to be run as clean and inspiring as a church service. Patriotiem is honest, brave and self-respecting, and so politics should be; for politics is, or ought to be, patriotism set in mo- tion. Andso every honorable and intelligent citizen will resent, in word and deed, the idea that politics must be mere affair of the gutter. Poll- tics needs not be the cause of any- body’s downfall unlese he goes into it with low notions regarding it. Let us hope to see the vay when men will go into politics with a single string to their interest, and thatis devo- tion to the common country. Lambertville | Peete any one that has worn them.
