PARTY AM) A WEDGING.
To The Newark .Journal:
If you will allow me a little
space in The Journal, I will give
the readers a little sketch from
< )akland.
On last Saturday night some
thing less than fifteen hundred
people, both young and old, assent
bled at Jim Barber's to spend a
while in singing, which they did,
and also had some nice instrumen
tal music, consisting of an organ,
two violins and two guitars. In
addition to the music, we spent a
good portion ot‘ the time with a
play-party, there being three clas
ses. Jim Barber had charge of
the first class, Addie Marshall of
the second class and Dulcina Kel
ler of the third class. Everything
went off nicely, except Bud Cash
got a little huffy because he
failed to get a partner, but that
was fully overcome when Ben
James stepped up and whispered
in his ear that he wanted to get
married next day at one o’clock.
So when the time arrived a num
b,,r of friends, both of the groom
and bride, assembled at Squire
Scott’s, the brides father, and Mr.
James and Miss Flora Scott were
made one for life. Mr. James is
a successful farmer, and a clever
gentleman, and Miss Flora is one
of the most handsome young ladies
in Oakland Settlement.
On Monday night the boys;
gathered up all the old rusty
plows, tin pans, bells, horns, etc.,
and gave Ben and Flora an old time
serenade. Big Foot Credit.

POLITICAL BOODLER.
The action of the Democratic
central committee of Conway
county in adopting resolutions a
gainst the practice of buying
votes, or influencing them, with
either whisky or money, will
j cause others to think seriously of
the evils that exist in many locali
ties. Conway county has deter
mined that “any candidate caught
boodling" shall forfeit the nomi
nation. Catching before hanging,
may save the guilty boodler, but
the determination of the Democ
racy to protect itself against ras
cality is certainly commendable.
WON’T 5KiN T HE PLEDGE.
Reports from Arkansas City say
that so far none of the Desha coun

In explanation of this action one 1
of the Democratic leaders says:
“Desha Democrats are of the
swamp variety and ever bow to
the will of the people; therefore
deny the right of the state commit
tee to dictate requirements not
made by the county organization.
Our people believe in home rule
and do not propose to be led a
round by a ring in the nose.”

REAL, .MATERIAL (TTY
New York Evangelist Preacher
That Science Will Soon Lo
cate Throne of (iod.
The press dispatches from Ma
con, Mo., tell of a remarkable ser
mon preached in that city last Sun
day b.v the* Reverend William Co
burn, of New York.
Reverend Coburn’s topic was
“The City of (rod.” and he took
the position that the New Jerusa
lem is as material and as real a
place of abode as London, New
York or any other great city of
the world, and that the throne of
(iod is the real center of the uni
verse.
The text was: “Wherefore (iod
is not ashamed to be called their
(iod, for he hath prepared for
them a city,” Heb. xi 1(1.
The Journal takes the following
extracts from the sermon as pub
lished in the St. Louis Republic.
“We-know,” he said, “that our
globe was at one time a part of the
sun. The inclination of the axis
and the constituent parts are shown
by the spectrum analysis to make
this almost certain. Thrown otf
in a gaseous form, it gradually
cooled down as the ages rolled by
until it became this solid globe up
on which man now lives and which
is called the Earth.
“It is impossible to conceive the
spirit taking up the various rela
tions of life in the world without
a body and a sphere of activity for
that body.
“Logic that requires a body and
a world here demands a body and
a world beyond the grave.
GALILEOS DISCOVERY
“It was a supreme moment in
the history of the race when Gali
leo placed his eye to the telescope
with its newly discovered powers,
lip to that time the life of man
had been earth centered—the sun,
the moon and the stars all revolved
around him here on earth. Gali
leo found that, instead of our
earth being the center of the great
solar unmeasured universe, it was
one of the smallest bodies of the
solar system, and that it, together
with others much larger, revolved
around the sun, which with other
systems like our own, was revolv
ing around another and a larger
and more central sun.
CITY MAY BE LOCATED
“The hour may he close at ham!
when autonomy will he able to lo
cate, out in the brilliant constel
lations yonder, the very spot, the
center of the universe of (rod.
There are those who are studying'
I to that end right now, and they
; feel the wondrous enthusiasm
which springs frem the thought
that they are approaching nearer
and nearer the hour and the place.
| “What of this great city the
wise men are expecting to soon lo
cate' I will tell you what we
know. It is a glorious city. One
of our great mathematicians spent
two years in developing the meas
urements that were given to John
in the Revelation. He found that
if the race were to continue >n
; earth 5,000 years longer and n
creases at the pro rata of popula
tion naturally expected, that this
city would contain five rooms fif
teen feet square and fifteen feet
high, for every member of the
race, and then only one-third of
the city would be occupied.”
