It WUK a good address and I wish more people could have beard it. In speaking of it to another minister he said: "We have no Sab bath." Now, that is a terrible thing to say of a people who profess to bo n Christian people, but, alas! it is too true, lt is the most common Bin of tile dav.

KIUTOH: Two weeks ago I called attention tn the desirability of devel oping the Grund Canyon property on upper Main Street. The expert from kalamazoo who, it was thought, had started by this route in search of that undiscovered bourne from which no traveler has ever returned, has .?nally triumphed ami found bis way io the surface again, having wandere?!around in the subterranean caverns two entire weeks, till lie found an outlet r'. tho shaft or crater, a few ftet east of tho Excelsior Oil Mills. The hapless cou ple of adventurers, whose horse shicil at a passing bicycle an?l precipitated them into its cavernous depths, insti tuted search for ourKalamazoo intuid, and all three, including the horse and buggy, drove out of tho crater at the Oil Mill this morning. The expert's report, tiled with the Grand Canyon Development Company and Suicide Club this morning, disparages tho use of the Canyon as an artificial lake on account of the insufficiency of the wa ter supply to fill it, the time required lu'ing estimated at something over twelve billion centuries. It was then agreed to preserve it intact for tho use of tile Suicide Club. CITIZENS. Preacher Hanged in Texas. DALLAS, TLX AS. Oct. 27.-The Kev. (i.V.. Morrison was banged at 12 o'clock to-day at Vernon, Texas, for wife mur der. Ile met his death resignedly. On the scaffold lie saul to tho select party of twohty witnesses permitted at the execution: "I nm innocent. Circumstances, over which I had no control, have placed mo in this position. I have taken my trouble in private to God. I admit that 1 have acted indiscreetly. 1 have done no worse, however, than hundreds of men who stain! high in the religious, social, business and official circles of your Stat?'. I have done nothing to confess. 1 nm in the hands ot my Maker. He knows I am innocent." Morrison's neck was broken and his death appeared to be painless. The crime for which thc Kev. G. E. Morrison paid the death penalty was the poisoning of his wife in October, isl)?. The motive for the crime was to rid himself of a pretty, amiable, loving wife in order to marry a lady possessed of means, ono hundred t hon jami dol lars of which was in cash. - mt ? - - Dewey to be Married.
