VOLUME XXXI
AT SAINT
Mr. Editor:
Jerusalem is wonderfully re
produced. covering 12 acres of
ground. A feeling of solemnity
shrouds over us, while the native
guides show ustlie points of his
torical interest, and give us lectures
on the same. On David Street,
we are shown the Tower of David,
which represented all that was
left of Jerusalem after that awful
siege in which 100,000 Jews were
slain. The Wailing Wall, where
the Jews drive a nail every time
they go there and weep, and the
Mosque of Omar, built where
Solomon's Temple stood before it
was destroyed are shown. The
rock on which Isaac offered is
beautifully represented. The
Mount of Olives, Garden of
Gethseumue, Valley of Kedron,
Church of the Ascension, Pillar
of Absalom, Mountains of Moab,
and the Dead Sea, are shown in a
grand artistic Diorama. The
places where Christ rested, and
the one where He gave out under
the heavy cross, and Simon took
it. are shown on the road to the
Church that is built where Christ
was crucified and buried. There
is also a church over where He was
borne. A solid rock represents
the manger. The Infant Jesus,
Mary and the wise men are all re
presented. A model of Christ's
Tomb, brought from Jersalem, is
here. We now admire the wonder
ful cycloramn of the Crucifixion
of Christ and the city of Jerusalem;
this is in a large building. The
length of the picture is only 350
feet, and the height only 40:>.-»bu'
it is so constructed that the eye
is deceived; and it is a grand
panorama as far as the eye can
see. And still more wonderful,
we cannot tell the real from the
painting. Where the soil and the
real figures, and the painting meet
is hard to tell. So perfect is the
work, that we cannot tell with
the eye, which are paintings and
which are statuary'of the realistic
groups of people. A\ e take a
look at the Crucifixion, and a feel
ing of sorrow mingled with glad-1
ness tills our heart. Sorrow, be
cause of those nails in His hands
and feet, and that hole pierced in
his side, and our sins helped to do
that. Then we look on the bright
side of the picture. We see those
nails and pierced side in another
light. Gladness then predominates.
For it is through the cruel death
of Jesus that we are saved.
This is a touching scene. Tie
four soldiers a little way from the
cross, casting lots, remind us of
what Jesus said in their behalf:
"Father, forgive them; they know
not what they do." The malefac
tors on either side remind us of
what he said to one of them:
"Verily I say unto thee, today
shall thou be with me in paradise,"
Then we see John and the mother
of Jesus standing on the right,
and we recall the words of our
Savior to them: "Behold thy
mother!" And the partial dark
ness of the scene reminds us that
He said: - "My God. my God, why
hast thou forsaken me? 7 Then a
soldier with a long reed recalls the
words: "I thirst." and "It is fin
ished." Then His bowed head re
minds us of the seventh time that
our blessed Savior talked while on
the cross. "Father, into thy hands
1 commend my spirit." perhaps
were his last words before his
death. Again we look upon the
scene, and the rocks are broken
asunder. Mary Magdalen
ing at his feet, and the disciples
OUIS"=LOUIS
are viewing the tragedy at a great
distance. Beyond this, Jerusalem,
the Mount of Olives, and the sur
rounding country dazzle the eye
with their beauty.
In Festival Hall is the largest
organ in the world. It is 40 foet
high, 33 feet wide, 02 feet long,
and has 10,0511 pipes. It weighs
250,000 pounds, and required 14
cars for transportation. It was
built in Los Angeles, Cal. We
had the pleasure of hearing Alex
andre Guilmant, of Paris, one of
the greatest organists in the world,
play this organ.
We are now at one of De Forest's
Wireless Telegraphy Stations. We
see a message sent, and hear a I
lecture, that gives us some light [
on the subject. A man with a
sender, from a De Forest tower 300
feet high, may send a message:
another man 000 miles away may
hold a receiver to his ear. and
with pen in hand; he can write
out the message. The clicking is
undersood better than talking
through a telephone is. Electric
sparks are made by the sender;
and when they leap into the air.
they produce waves that travel at
the rate of 180,000 miles per sec
ond. the same as light, but not in '
straight lines. They follow the
paths, where there are fewest
obstructions. Hence they can be
understood further on sea than on '
land. A receiver can be tuned to .
a sender so no other receiver can !
take the message. So, if desired,!
a message at sea can be sent with
out any fear of the enemy knowing
what it was.
The Battle of Colenso between I
700 British and Boers is now seen. I
The town is fortified; and the
Tugela River is represented. The
Boers destroy the bridge across '
the river. Small guns, Gatling
and cannon, make the very earth
shake. The British and horses !
are all shot down. The loud
cheers proclaim the Boer victory.
Soon the Battle of I'aardeburg be
gins. The Boers are surrounded
by the British. The battle rages j
furiously. They are falling on
all sides. The British close in. A
hand to hand fight ensues. A
commissariat wagon is> burnt; and
an ammunition wagon is blown up.
British cheers tell the victory.
The surrender then takes place.
Boer prisoners are then marched |
in front of the British troops. De
Wet's escape is shown by George
Prescot on horse back, leapi.ig
from a height of 35 feet into the .
[river below, and swimming out'
safely. After the battle Provera,j
the horse of Frank Fillis, with a
Iwndage around his ankle, pretends
to be wounded. He hops on
three legs around the ring until
his master get on him. then he
runs off at full speed.
Among the stock, we find a steer
0 feet high and feet long, weigh
ing 3500 pounds, and a horse 7
feet and 2 inches high, weighing
2835 pounds.
We are now in Lincoln Museum.
A lecture is given on the relics.
Here is the old log cabin in which
Abram Lincoln lived for three
years. He was 4 years old when
his father, Thomas Lincoln moved,
into this cabin in 1813. In 1816.
the cabin was sold for S2O and 10
barrels of whiskey. While mak
ing their journey to Indiana, the
whiskey was lost in the Ohio
River (pity that it is not all lost
that way). Here is also the only
car ever built by the Government
the United States for the Pres
ident and cabinet. It is called
CJoptinued on 3d page.

CHAMPION POTATOES
Mr. Editor :
When we took up our Irish po
tatoes we thought we hnd the lar
gest ones we had ever seen, but
we would not say anything about
them in a public way, lest some
one should say that we were bra«-
ging.
But now as some one has put
forward al2 ounce potato, nnd it
is spoken of as a large one, per
haps you and your readers will ex
cuse us if we tell you about ours.
We planted one bushel of seed, of
which only about two thirds or
three fourths came up, the moles
and mice destroying the remain
der. We used all the potatoes we
need for table purposes during the
growing season. The moles or
mice were very bad, and came in
for their share of the young pota
toes, and yet we took up 31i bush
els of large potatoes, and we think
there is about one bushel to take
up yet. The best lftO hills meas
ured up 9 bushels. The heaviest
dozen weighed 30J pounds. The
heaviest two weighed 7 pounds or
SC, ounces each. The longest vine
or top was 7 feet, 10J inches. The
heaviest branch or top after the
leaves were dead, weighed 3 J
pounds. The largest branch was
!{ of an inch in diameter.
Now, Mr. Editor, when you
compare these s(> ounce potatoes
with the 12 ounce fellows men
tioned in a late issue of your pa
per. we feel sure you will see our
reasons for speaking of them. One
reason why we have written about
our potatoes is this, in some way
we know not how, thaLagrmige
Sentinel has heard rfolTmthiiig
about them, but not the exact
facts in the case, as it states that
we took up 21 bushels instead of
31 bushels, and that we had 11
potatoes which weighed 30pounds
when the fact is it took the heav
iest 12 to weigh 30 J pounds.
Mr. Editor, we noticed that one
of your worthy correspondents ob
jects to the signature over which
we write. Now, while it is not
pleasant to be criticised, yet when
the criticism is just, it only gives
us a higher opinion of the critic,
as it shows that he has the frank
ness and courage to speak out for
that which is proper and right.
And wo admit that Mr. "Me"' has
s >ine ground for his objection, as
we have been writing on different
subjects from what we anticipated
when we assumed our name. And
perhaps a word of explanation oil
our part would not be out of order
here. The selection of "Dog-Kill
er" as a nom-de-plume over which
to write, was only preparatory to a
series of letters we intended writ
ing. Hut we were diverted from
our purpose by our critics on the
liquor business, it having taken
about all the time we had to write
to defend ourselves against their
criticisms. And while we have
written a few letters on other sub
jects we have retained our name.
And if we can get the time we in
tend to make it plain in the fu
ture just why we assumed that
name. Hut a few letters on other
subjects are in order first.
(rood will to the Reporter and
all its readers.

"Sixteen years ago when our first
child was a baby he was subject to
croupy spells and we would be
very uneasy about him. We be
gan using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it
such a reliable remedy for colds
and croup, we have never been
without it in the house since that
time. We have five children and
have given it to all ot them with
good results. One good fsature of
thie remedy is that it is not dis
agreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it
is not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdose. I
congratulate you upon the success
of your remedy." For sale by all

Meadows R. F. D. No. 1. Nov. 12.
Mr. Editor :
Please correct some mistakes
that you made in my last letter. I
have got the highest regard for the
scriptures, and I believe that when
I one quotes the word of God they
iought to give it just as it is. You
j have got the word (pester) for err.
land you left the word (not)out of
the next verse, and you have got
the 22tul instead of 23rd chapter
of Proverbs. I waited for No. 2
to correct me but. he diil not. Well
No. 2 I said in my last letter that
I would not bother myself about
answering any more of your let
ters, but knowing that you would
be mad if I should fail, and hav
ing read the place in the Bible
where it says blessed are the peace
makers. I will have to drop you
a few lines for the sake of peace.
Very sorry indeed that I caused
you to miss your Bible lessons for
you need them most of all men
that I ever read after, for you are
just like the negro's dog. he said
dat he had de bes dog in fie worl
kar im out a good squirl dog and
him ud tree fas as you cud shute
am, but ef da squirls wont out
him ud go likless lookin tree dat
him cud fine and bark up it. You
try to use the scripture to carry
your point and if you can't find it
you manufacture some for the oc
casion. You say that we are even
not until you show ine where the
Bible says that it is wrong to
dance, and the book, chapter and
verse where it says spare the rod
and spoil William, use the rod and
save William and again depart
from me ye fiulicinj,' William iuto
everlasting fire prepared for King
William and his angels. Now
smarty I have never seen no such
scripture. No no we are not even
yet. you can take such stuff as the
above and go on your way rejoic
ing. You told me to remember
the last of God's word. Out of
your own mouth you shall be. con
demned. I have never added any
thing to or taken anything from
God's word, but you have. No not
even yet buddie. Well you said
that you had surrendered, I sup
pose that is a confession that you
have been wrong, and that God
and his prophets and apostles was
right. Yes he that humbleth him
self shall be exalted. (Had indeed
that you have come out on the
safe side. Now the ten command
ments does not say thou shalt not
dance. Now see what the apostle
Paul says to the Gnlatian Breth
ren 5-10,522 now tho works of the
tlesh are manifest which are these
adultry, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, idolatry, witch
craft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresis.
envyings, murders, drunkeness,
revellings and such like of the
which I tell you before, as I have
also told yon in time past that
these which do such things shall
not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22nd and 23rd, but the fruit of the
! Spirit is love, joy, peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness,
j faith, meekness. temperance,
against such there is no law. Now.
j No. 2, there is the two pictures as
Paul saw. and I guess that he was
as wise as you are. Say go off boy
and soak your head in a mud hole
until you get right and when you
write again if you quote scripture
j be sure that it is in the Bible.
Well as my letter is already too
long I must close, oh I like to for
got about that gal. Yes thore is
lone in this neighborhood that 1
think will suit you to a tea. She
