Durand, Mlohigan, August 7.-Wallace Bros.' circus was wrecked in the Grand Trunk yards here at 4 o'clock this morn ing and 23 men, mostly employees of the circus, inoluding a few of tho perform ers, were killed outright. Twenty more were injured, some fatally. Tho show was traveling in two seetions over the Grand Trunk tracks from Lansing to Lauere, and the accident, it is said, was eauaed by tho failure of the seoond sec tion of tho train to stop on time. The two seotions were traveling near each other and the seoond ran into the first at full speed. The engine of the second aootion and four cars of the first section wore oompletely demolished. Muoh valuable property was destroyed and the loss to the oirous people will be heavy. Some of those killed and a few of those injured were railroad people attached to the train. Some of the animals were killed. The scene in the Grand Trunk yards after the collision was appalling. The wreck of tho engico and lour cars was strewn about and piled high, while the shrieks of the injured and the bel lowing of the frightened animals could be heard above the hies of escaping steam and the exoited shouts of the res ourers. It was some hours before ali the injured were rescued from the wrecked cars. Some of the wounded were in ter rible agony and it is feared that several more will die. Puts nu End to lt All.

The storm was especially severe in the Ten-mile Hill section. The flashes of lightning and the crash of the thunder hardly oeased for an instant, and the in habitants there were terror-striokeu. Ligh'-ning played about the trees and houses and the inhabitants cowered In their homes in abject fear. The munn of J. B. Bretenton was struck and Bre tenton and his wife killed and the house burned to the ground. Trees were split in twain. People feared to stay in their homes, but the falling branohes and tree trunks warned them not to venture in the open.

Asotin, Wash., August 7.-William Hamilton, a white man, and a well-to-do farmer, who oonfessed to the murder of Mabel Richards, wac taken from jail here and lynohed by a mob of a thous and men shortly after midnight.

G POWDERS Supply of Directions, ?Y9 Druggist. i . i .i i i i H i i - The Boaverdam Baptist Aaaooiation oonveued io annual seauion on August 4th with Kew Hope Baptist ohuroh. There was a splendid attendance of dele gates, and the Association was organised by the election of Rev. A. P. Marett, moderator, Rov. J. M. McGuire, olerk, aad J. W. Stribling, treasurer. Carefully prepared reports were sub mitted by the standing committees on] the various subjects assigned them. ' These reports were intelligently dis cussed and valuable information obtained by the delegates in regard to the various benevolent and charitable work engagod ba by the Association. Dr. T. M. Bailey, Secretary of the State I Mission Board, was present on Tuesday and made an earnest and able presenta-1 tion pf ?his work, whioh was greatly en joyed by all who heard him. Dr. A. T. Jamison was there and made an eloquent and touching appeal in be half of Connie Maxwell Orphanage, and at the olese of his address asked all who so desired to contribute to the support of these little orphan children to please do so, and a collection of over twenty five dollars was raised. The report on Sunday schools was made by Rov. J. R. Moore and was one of tbe best ever heard on this important, ohuroh work. We believe it will arouse increased zoalaud renewed efforts among superintendents and teachers to push forward in this grand movement. The report on aged ministers was also a thorne that went straight home to the hearts of the delegates. Some thirty-six of these old and worn out, battlo-scat red veterans of the cross are now being oared for through this fund. A voluntary con tribution of some, sixteen dollars was | raised for their relief. The report made by the delegates from the various churches represented on the state of religion, was iu itself well worth the elna chen meeting together once a year. Muoh eau be learned from such reports that will show the causo of fail ure in some ohurches along certain lines hm eh work, and how these diffioul be overe?me and success aohit On Wi " the women had a moot ing and dit>v td Woman's Mission to Women. Mrs. Augusta Stribling was re elected president. There was not a sat isfactory representation of the ohurches and it was decided to hold another meet ing at Connoross ohuroh in the near future, at whioh meeting they hoped to havo a more general representation of the sisters from the ohurches in tho As sociation. Conneross ohuroh was selected as the I placo for holding the next associational meeting. The business of the Association was I very muoh facilitated by the splendid I exeoutive ability of Brother Marett as presiding officer. He presided with ease, dignity and impartiality. On Wednesday Dr.. Harvey Matcher preached one of the beat sermons on the plan of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that was ever our good pleasure to hear. It waa plain and so simple and masterly in its presenta tion of the theme that all could under stand. Kever before did we realize that | the more profound and thorough the knowledge of a subject, the plainer and simpler it could be made to appear to j the minds of the people. On Thursday Rev. J. E. MoManaway preached a soul stirring sermon on the text: "The master is here and call et h for thee." The entire congregation was viaibly affeoted and many wore made to | cry and rejoice. On Thursday evening the Association adjourned sine die, and the general opinion expressed by all was, that it had been tbe best meeting ever held in the | bounds of the Beav?rdam's jurisdiction. The good people of this community wel comed tho delegates and visitors with open hands and hearts, and the dear sisters-God bleus them!-viod with each other in providing most lavishly fried ohioken, pies, oakes and many othor good things that went to the nour ishment of the inner man rand that add so muoh to the pleasure and enjoyment of such oeoaslons. Those who were the recipients of the hospitalities of these dear people have rendered but one vor diot: Well done, Kew Hopel May our next association be as good. End of Bitter Fight.

V7e bave feared tbat some thoughtless person, while reading the report ot the County Superintendent of Kducatiou, may be beguiled toto thinking that the dispensary ia a good thing beoausW it helps to educate the young. If The Courier has suoh a roader-now mind you, we do not say that it has, but if lt has, we hope yon will look the mat ter squarely in the face, and remember that Satan himself likes to go "disguised as an angel of light" We wish to ask you a plain question sud we know before hand what your answer will be: Would you be selfish enough and stingy enough and all around mean enough to be will ing that your neighbor should get bowl ing drunk to-day, in order that your obild should go to school to-morrow" ? Of oom so not, but don't you see that that ia the way the dispensary help? to educate*, the children-not the ohil dron of the drunkard, the man who contributes the most to this school fund. Bis ohildren cannot afford togo to sohool. They must work to help support the family, and make up for what tho father fails to do. So you see, it ia the sober, industrious man who does not drink who gets the benefit of this money and he would muoh prefer that it come from a differ ent source. The State has no right to sanotion a thing that is wrong. Selling w'dskoy is wrong, no matter who does it. The Bible says, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, and maketh him drunken also," and, "There ls a way that seemeth right unto a man. but the end thereof are the ways of death." w. o. T. u. i <?? A Large Order. Probably the largest order ever given for paint in the State of North Carolina was received by the Odell Hardware Co., of Greensboro,. N. C., from W. A, Irwin, Esq., of Durham. The order was for 5,000 gallons of Dc vo? lead-and-zino paint, to be used on the large Irwin Mills and their cottages now being built in Hartnett Couuty. Many of the leading paint manufac turers were eager to seouro this order, and it speaks volumes that the prefer ence was given to Devoe lead-and-zino, whioh is undoubtedly tho foremost paint in this country to-day.-Greensboro (N. C.) Record. In Memory of Little Leah Duncan. Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade, Angels came with friendly eare, And carried the opening bud to heaven And bade it blossom there. It would bo wrong to wish her back In this world of toil and sin, When we know sho is far better off, And all her sufferings are at an end. I know she is an angel, fair, All dressed in gold and white, With a orown upon her hair, Shining in God's holy light. A golden harp is in her hand, Pure joys to ber are given ; Sho is waiting now to welcome you Within the gates of heaven. A Friead. "Strength and Vigor come of good! food, duly digested. 1 FORCE,' a ready to-serve wheat and barley food, addsmo burden, but sustains, nourishes, invlgor- | ates."
