A. Overton, who furnished the tent in which the three-ringed circus did business, has fired the “elder.” der” Buck was in the habit of telling | a great many stories of doubtful veracity and saying a great many things that had a sensa- ticnal tinge. One night he told how a boy was run over by a dirt wagon and had one of his legs dreadfully mangled, so t the bones protruded through the flesh. One dose of faith did the business, and the next morning the ‘“elder” found the youngster cutting “8s and doing the French roll on a skating pond not far from his home. A man with a bald head had found the flies in warm weather simply unbearable, and he came to the ‘“elder’ for help. In a few days he had a fine new crop of hair four inches long, and the most wonderful thing abcut it was that while the original crop had been a continual mortification to him by reason of its deep, warm, brick color, the second edition was a glossy black. One time a woman called upon him and told him she had had a great deal of trouble with her teeth, and her frequent trips to the dentist had caused her often to express the wish that she had no teeth at all, at all. “Elder” Buck undertook to assist her, but was only partially successful. The mext day she had no teeth, and the ‘elder” was un- able to give her any. This, however, w not his fault, but the fault of the lady, who had only had enough faith to bring the first part of her wish to fruition. These are samples of the wonderful things he had done, and the healer was listened to with a good deal of interest by his audi- ences. A few nights ago he caused a sensa- tion by a sermon in which he made some very grave accusations against the virtue of a lady who has been in the habit of preaching at Overton’s mission. There have been several ladies in the pulpit there, and as the “elder” mentioned no names, they one and all went for his scalp. The conse- quence was that a lively set-to took place at the close of the service, and Mr. Overton told him that he could not hold any more meetings there. “I'll go on doing the Lord’s work here if the Lord tells me to, I guess,” replied the frate “elder.” . “Yes,” was Overton’s reply, “but I believe the Lord will tell you to any more. And the Lord hasn’t, or if he has Buck has rejected the divine commission, for his melo- dious voice has not been cracking the mission plastering sinae.

There was a meeting of the Christian church last evening for the purpose of putting the organization on record with reference to the actions of certain persons who have been circulating reports deroga- tory to Rev. E. W. Allen. Burnett Allen, a brother of the pastor of the church, disappeared last summer while holding a sarles of meetings at Platts- mouth, Neb., and all efforts to locate him have proved unavailing, in spite of a reward of §100, which Mr. Allen offered as soon as it was certain that his brother was in- decd gone. One result of the meeting last evening was the adoption, unanimously, of the following resolutions: We, the undersigned, as members of the Christian church, agree to the following resolutions Whereas, Our beloved and highly es- teemed pastor has been unduly attacked from certain sources ndd Whereas, We, the members of the con- gregation, know such matters to be en- tirely false and uncalled for and out of harmony with i’ Christian lifs,” therefore i Resolved, That we show the public that as a4 body we are in sympathy with him in this trouble, and will defend his character and stand by him through all the troubles that assail him, of whatever nature they may be, A copy of this resolution was circulated and the signatures of members of the church were obtained, mmittee con- sisting of Misses B Rich, Le Sweeney and May Miller was appointed to circulate the copy among the church members between now and_Sunday. During the meeting Rev. H. N. Allen, the father of the pastor and the missing young man, took occasion to offer a reward of $200 to any one who would locate his miss- ing son within a week. ‘We have over $300,000 to loan upon im- proved Iowa farms.

This is the biggest price ever offered for a sateh line or heading for an adyertisement, Mayden Bros. will glve a choice of several first class planos worth $300.00 each for the head line adopted and in addition will give orders on their music department for $50.00 worth of music for the next five best ideas, according to merit, To secure an absolutely impartial decision applicants are requested to sign in number only and to mail corresponding number with name and address to The Bee office, where it will remain until after the award is made The right is reserved to use any head line once. The following are the facts to be adver- tised: Hayden Bros. of Omaha are the only firm in the world showing a complete line of the instruments manufactured by the five most renowned plano makers on earth, Hay- den Bros. are not tied up with red tape restric- tions like regular selling agents, but are fres to make the lowest prices ever heard of. Hayden Bros. put speclal streess on the Stelnway and Vose planos because they have a larger line in stock and can buy them cheaper than any other makes of equal repu- tation. Do not be misled by any one claim- ing the sole agency. Hayden Dros. have them direct from the factory as well as from the Max Meyer & Bro, Co. stock. Music trade papers are saylng planos cannot be sold in a department store, but seusible people who do not care to be hoodwinked by silly frills are not so notlonal and the best proot of this Is that Hayden Bros. sold more planos, organs and musical instruments in one week than any five music siores west of Chicago have sold In six months.
