Amendment League. A LAWYER
Judge Thos. Hueston, came out ~
debate Prohibition but as the tims
was fully taken up by Mrs. Ma.
Clurkin, he was disappointed. I
promised however, to accommodate
him at early day.
AT GLEN Elk, May 4, a fine
meeting was held and Club of
some so members organized.
AT THOMPSON CHAPEL, 10 miles
from Charleston, a large house was
packed and a platform outside full
A good Club was organized.
AT SIssoNvILLE, 16 miles from
Charleston, q grand meeting was
held deep interest was manifest.
ed nearly 80 names were enlisted
to form a Club. Mrs. McClurkin
said she did not propose tc organize
a Club on Sunday, but Mr.. Henry
Shirky prominent politician, who
with others took hold with a will.
proposed that it be organized then.
1t was suggested that the Book says
it is lawful to do good on the Sab.
bath Day, and it was done. A good
collection was taken, and good
impression made.
l need not repeat the many Gu.
logies upon Mrs. McClurkin, so
we'll deserved, but 1 must say that
at this place she surpassed herself.
1 have seldom listened to an appeal
go forcible.
In each of these meetings she was
accompanied by the Glee Club,
and all were royalty entertained by
the people.
We learned at Sissonville that
posters were up at Copenhaver's

day 9TH, and thither she went, and
as learn since, had meeting. l

met small audience. It was a
mistake to put the meeting at 80
early an hour, 6 p. M.

over and speak again this evening,
when they would have a fuller

good organization tonight. A

Mental Powers of Chicago
Thrae-Year-Old.

CHICAGO, December 9Th. = About fifty
physicians and number of ladies listened
yesterday in wonderment to the blind child
prodigy, Oscar Moore, a three -year-oid
child who has most remarkable memory.
The boy is about the color of copper aud
his features are regular, but his lips are
quite thick. The head is not of a remark
able shape, with the possible exception,
perhaps, OF a rather abnormal develop
Inent at the back of the head. On the
whole the child has no outward remark
able feature about him. His sightless eyes
are slightly crossed. DR.. Cleveger, who has
taken great interest in this remarkable case,
gave brief history of the boy, who was
born in Waco, Tex, August 10, 1885. At
the age of two years he began to show
signs of his remarkable mental powers,
and in less than three months he was able
10 answer almost as many questions as he
IS now master of.
What was the population of Chicago in
1SS0?" asked physician.
The population OF Chicago in 1880"
said the child, then he hesitated for q mo-
ment, but suddenly Strengthened up and
clasping his hands together said in his
shrill, juvenile voice, the population of
Chicago in 1880 was 500, 1856"
The boy gave the exact populations of
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
other cities, and many without the least
hesitation. He counted from one to ten in
French, German, Danish, Polish, Russian,
Greek, Latin and Chinese Then he
switched of and answered more geograph-
ical questions and gave correct answers to
some puzzling questions in history.
The audience. which was now thoroughly
amazed at the great mental power dis
played, was doubiy astonished when, in
answer to request for speech on the tariff,
the lad at once broke forth and made
very good speech in defense of protection.
After some more questions the boy recited
several poems and sang a song or two
After two hours of steady talk the boy said
that he was not fatigued in the least

panel was completed to-day. John Alex
ander Bowles, who, it is said, was a con-
spira;or and one of the squealers, was put
on the stand as the first and most i'm
portant witness. Bowles testified that he
work as an engineer for the Burlington
road on March %, 1888, and was persuaded
to quit work by his brother on April 4th.
He Joined the Brotherhood, and was en-
ployed by Bauereisen to bay dynamite and
place it on the tracks, and also to buy
yitriol and ammonia TO put in the water
tanks and desc the engines.
Witness went on and repeated substanti-
ally The story told by him when the
Brotherhood men were arrested last spring.

of Bauereisen, he had purchased dynamite
and delivered it at various points. He also
told OF experiments made on the Burling-
ton tracks near Aurora. He had not con-
cluded when the Court adjourned.
