Ho does not take the ; pround that the Sunday paper is thoroughly : bad , ns some "advanced" clergymen do , but : ho thinks that the churches und clergymen In particular illicit put their stamp of dis approval on the Issuing of Sunday papers llsby refusing to have their notices of services primed In them , but having them published on Saturday Instead. No objection has so far been made to the Monday paper , nine- tenths of tluAvork of which is done on Sun day.

Bvun the donn crats , who early in tlio campaign iircdlclc.l that their ticket would be overwhelmingly elected , nro now willing to admit that the election will bo n very close ono , and they don't know exactly - actly how it will turn out. The citizens will be treated to n novel slight today. A largo number of the laolcs of the city hive determined - torminod to assist in the work of reclaiming the government of the public selionls from the domination of partisan politics arid will bo at the polls all day peMlln ? tickets In the Interests of Mrs. Sims and .Mrs. Ayitu- worth.

The plan of selling the high school buildIng - Ing and erecting a building on snmo more accessible1 spot , is meeting with the favor of most of tlio patrons of the schools , und is especially popular with these who have chil dren In the High school department. There nro many young ladies who have been com pelled to drop out of school a year 01' so be fore graduating by order of their physicians , as they were unable to stand the physical strain of climbing the hill twice n day. The High school is now in better condition than it has ever been 4jeforo , ami the friends of education do not like to see any ono ctunted out of the right to attend simply through a physical inability to endure in unnecessary hardship. The idea of changing the location of the high school has been agitated a number of times before , but it was never thought of enough Importance to become a campaign issue until this spring. Mrs. Sims and Mrs. Aylesworth were nominated on that platform , and every vote cast for them will bo a vote to cxchingu the present high school building for one located where all the scliool children In the city can get to It.

Lnst week a subscription paper was circulated among the young men of the association and with the proceeds was bought n line ofllce desk , with rolling top ' , which was to bo presented to him. The del egates from DCS Molncs who attended the state convention held hero a few weeks hoe ; happened to hear what was being done , and : they Immediately raised the amount nrccs - stiry to buy a beautiful choir to go with the desk. Both articles of furniture- were brought to the rooms Saturday niirht and presented In proper form. Mr. Hose was taken completely by surprise , its ho had not , the slightest Idea that anything of the kind was being done for him. The action of the young men Is a fitting recognition of the efforts being put forth by him for the up building of thc association in this city. ClAt the services In the hall last evening six .moro professions of faith were made. It is reported that the members of the Temple Baptist church have decided to unite with their Christian brethren , and that fifty of them will como forward in a body one night during this week and bo taken into full mem bership. The young church is growing with : astonishing rapidity under the ministry of Mr. Allen and the melody of Mr. Blrdsall , and has become ono of the foremost denomi nations In point of interest und strength nlin the city.

In his sermon at the First Presbyterian church last evening Dr. Phelps announced himself on the question of woman sufl'r.igo and gave utterance to some opinions which are of peculiar Interest in view of today's events. His sermon was on the subject of Esther , and ho traced in glowing colors the history of that wonderful womaa and her hcroje efforts to save her people from the treachery of Hainan. "I am of the n , " said ho in concluding , "that there is no bet ter or moro useful place for a worn/in than tin the home anil by the fireside.Vnd yet to say that the homo is the only place where a wonwn's talents can IKJ exercised Is folly. For my part I shall bo glad when'-tho ballot Is put into the hands of the women , not only at school elections , as is now done in a number of the states , but in gen ; eral elections , as in Wyoming. And I shall bo glad also to see the time come when it shall bo as common a thing for a woman to hold many of the oftlces in the gift of the people as fora man. When that time comes disreputable politics will bo a thing un known and the government of our cities will bo turned over to the representatives , of purity and good morals.

Tlipntrlciil Companion Itolibrd * There Is a gam ? of amateur thlovcs that hangs about Dohnny'a opera house nnd makes a practice of stealing money or arti cles of less value from the various theatrical people , who play there. Hardly n month passes without some member of a company making a complaint of losing his property. A day or two ago the manager of a troupe that played at the opera house last week wrote to Chief Scaulan nnd asked him to look up some wigs and other a rtlclcs which had been stolen , A search was made In the opera house and away up Ir the rafters In the front part were found some of the stolen articles. A search was made at the home of a boy named Willie Kane , at the corner of Tenth avenue nnd Seventeenth street , and other things were found which were Identified as belonging to Al U. Field's Minstrel tro'.tpo which played at the opera house Wednesday niifht. Che Kane boy nnd a companion named Lewis Pennin.'toii were arrested on suspicion of hiving done the thieving. Both of them had been loallnir around the place a good deal of late. Mr. Kane called at the police station to see his son after ho was arrested , but refused to take any steps to ward getting him out on lull , siylug that if the boy was guilty he might take the cense quences. I/itcr on Sam Baker , Jack L-in- clon , John Bennett an 1 Noah Plnkman were also arrested for being Implicated In the theft. The outfit was taken before Justice Vlen for a trial Saturday afternoon and Kane was found guilty an 1 sent to the county Jail for two weeks.

MUKFHEE'S 'JW.LAK ' , Huffal- "There IH not n unrilelo of heroism about vou , Ulvfsos , " Haiti Mrs. Mtirfreo. an she brtisihed out hurlmek hair in front of the ciro.tt-er glim , frStparutory to re tiring for the night. "Not u particle , ' ' ho emphatically r Jetited. "I have known you to bo positively cownrdlyat times. " pl" ! ' Mr. Murfreo looked up In a weary way from the corner whero'husat. "I'ms'tiro , my tlcar " ho began. " . "No. you're not , " snapped his bolter half , "you are not sure ; you are never Buro of anything you only think. Bah ! I hate a man who 'only thinks , ' " nnd she jerked the tangles of u refractory auburn lock with additional force. "When Mrs. Jenks was telling tonight about that paragon of a husband of hers I was simply consumed with envy. It shows how much to believe In names. Look at you two men look , I say ! " "Yes , my dear , " responded Mr. Mur- frce , pulling off his boots in u resigned way. "I'm looking. " < : Bah ! " retorted his wife. "I mean your name ! * , Ulysses Mttrfree Peter Jeiiks just think of the difference.and yet Peter Jenks knocked a burglar downstairs this week with fuic fist , one , I assure you , and you , you are afraid to go culling on the Simsongibbors after dark , because they keep a d"g. " "Well , my dear , " feebly expostulated Mr. Murfree , "it is a very largo dog , and I " Here Mrs. Murfreo suddenly turned around , and through lips containing sun- ili'v hairpins , combs and such trilling articles , hissed. "Don't talk to me ! " in such an Impressive- and disgusted man ner that MiMurfreo subsided at once , and proceeded to finish-pulling on" his socks. lie- was not disturbed again until the moment came for retiring , when , con trary to their usual custom. Mrs. Murfree turned the gas entirely out , leaving the room < in darkness , save where a streak ol moonlight fell through the window , open for ventilation. Now , if there was anything that Mr Murfreo hated it was to have the bed room gas turned olT at night , but he climbed sadly into bed , and lay cogitat ing a plan whereby ho should be able to shoot a burglar in the dark , should ono chance to visit his abode that night. Just as thc city clock was striking 1 Mr. Murfreo awoke with a start and looked in a dazed way up into the dark ness. "What's the matter with mo ? " ho muttered , a sensation of uneasiness creeping ever him. "I think hn what's that1 and , broad awake now with the cold perspiration starting re every pore , ho became conscious of faint rustle in tlio room , the cause o which the heavy portieres draping th a'-wo prevented him ascertaining. Cautiously lie reuuhud under the mat tress for his revolver , and. ta his horror found that after cleaning it on the previous day ho had carelessly forgotten to place it in its wonted spot. "Oh , Lord ! oh , Lordl" no chattered to himself , tt-ving to keep cool , "no revolver L- ver , no nothing , nnd'ti ' burglar sure Ls fate. Samantha was right. 1 am n coward ; what on cui th shall I do ? If I awake Samantha I will never hear the last of it she'will nng wot-so than over ; besides , she is sure t < yell , and then we will all bo murdered , and then tlio poor man shook so that tho. springs creaked and sent him into n fresh fit of trembling- Hustle , rustle , it came again , and then a soft thump and a elink. "lie's got my pants1 ejaculated Mr. Murfree to himself , as cautiously sat up in bed and tried to calm himself. Thump ! "I can't stand this any longer1 said Mr. Murfreo in a whisper , beginning to get huffy. "I'm a fool. No wonder Sa mantha said so. I will certainly find out what is outside of these curtains , and this time Samanthn shan't have a chance to b-ng : over mo. Perhaps I shall bo able to do something for onco. " Keeping well away from the separa tion between the portieres ho carefully let one foot out of bed. As it touched the floor the rustle sounded again , and so near that Mr. Murfreo nearly lost his balaneo with fright , nnd found himself on his feet the next moment , shaking with ulurm lest he had provoked the marauder's atten tion to the alcove or awakened the sleep ing Samantha. But no ; all was quiet , und as soon as he plucked up a suflleient amount of oourago ho peered cautiously through the curvains. With difficulty ho repressed an ex clamation of horror. Tlio moon's rays fell across the dresser , bringing out each article on it with a weird distinctness , and just in thc shadow before the ehoval glass was tlio stooping figure of a man. Ho was evidently searching t'no upper drawer , and Mr. Murfreo gasped for joy ' as ho distinguished on the top of the cabinet to tlio right of the glass the missing revolver. "If I could only reach him , " said Mr. Murfreo to himself , "jump on him as lie is bonding over and secure thc revolver before ho recovers himself it's u good plan , and the only ono , I'm getting kind of riled. I don't believe I'm such ida coward after till. " With a mighty effort ho braced him self and advanced cautiously , keeping ' his eyes on the bent figure. In the uncertain light thc man looked unnaturally largo and heavy , and seemed each second to bo on the point of rising. Indeed , as Mr. Murfreo reached tlio center-table he thought all , was ever , and shrank down behind it despairingly. But fortune was kind , the burglar stilLscarehed busily , and Mr. Murfreo , gathering himself for a grand effort , and nerved to a point of desperation , made n flying leap , and landing with terrific force upon .tfyo burglar's shoul ders , grabbed the .revolver , yelling { : "Police ! thieves ! cV ! ' Over ho went , bunipoty bump ; nnd ns ho found himself prostrate upon tlio floor , with a cbaip 'and something soft and thick over him , ho finihed his exclamation - clamation with d it It. xed "Oh ! Ulysses ! .Ulysses ! " screamed Mrs. Miirfreo , tangling herself up in the bedclothes in her efforts to rise. "Help 1 ! Where are you ? " n Mr. Murfreo wason , his feet in a flash , holding in his arms the harmless cause of his fright and disturbance , Mrs. Mur- freo's fur capo , which" she had hung over tlio chair back in frujif of the dresser , and which , with itshigh : shoulders and collar , had looked in the dim light like a stooping tigor. ' ' Men think quickly sometimes , and Mr. Murfreo realized the situation with remarkable speed , and being on his mettle determined not to bo made a fool of. Knocking Mrs. Murfree's jewel case from the dresser as ho fled , ho rushed out of the room pell-mell , stopping on the cat , the author of the > us noibcs that had first awakened him. With a savage kick ho bent her ahead ! of him , as ho How down the front stairs , and banged the front door open and shut. Then ' ho panted breathlessly up again , sln'clng on the top stair. sere , bruised and mad , just us his wife suc- u'scecded in lighting the gas. "Burglar , " ho i gaspe . "Whoro , oh where ? " Bho screamed , excitedly , half helping , half drugging him into the room. "Gone , " ho managed to say ; "knocked him ever got away front door -son there , " pointing t > tlio Jewelry utrown around the lloor. MM Murfroo gnvo ono look , and then , with that faithful sense of obligation to the tradition of her sox which tlio average - ago woman scorns to possess in an emer gency , she proceeded to faint away. Mr. Murfreo dumped her Into n chair. Mo was too weak to hold her , and besides he felt n fiendish exultation In glorying In his superior strength of mind ; so , when she recovered , ho was picking up the cleverly scattered trinkets with its bored an air as ho could assume. "What are you beared of1 ho said , scornfully , "man's gone , I'm hero ; I rather think I have protected you , even if I am a coward. Pot-haps you will leave the light burning after this so that I shall not bo Obliged to struggle ( or my life in the dark. " And ho willed from his forehead a few drops ol blood trickling from a scratch received in the encounter with the largo pin on his capo burglar , making his face as gory as possible with the small amount of material. Mrs. Murfreo looked at him n moment in a hysterical sort of way , nnd then , falllng'on his neck , altornatelv implored forgiveness and wept ever her former severity , culling him her hero and all the delightful names which Mr. Mut- freo's soul was thirsting for. "I'll never sav such mean things again , " she sobbed ; "never , never. " "There , there , " said her spouse , straightening up and putting on a patronizing air to conceal the nervous shaking of his muscles scarce over their recent shock. "You sit down and I will s-earcli the house so Unit wo can feel easy during the remainder of tlio night.
