AT THE CHURCHES.
No Evening Services-Ch,idren'sD Day ut the
Evangelical.

Morning services were held in all the
churches Sunday and were very well
attended. Owing u the excessive
heat the doors were closed in the even
ing and church goers were obliged TO
stay .: hOme-much TO their delight
no doubt.
Sunday was Children's Day at the
German Evangelical church and the
exercises began at 10 a. III. with a
large congregation present. The in
terror OF the church was neatly deco
rated with flowers and evergreens-
the work OF the young ladies. About
100 children took part in the exercises
which consisted OF singing, Rotations,
dialogues, etc. The mission collection
amounted to $3.50. In the evening
Rev. Woeher preached sermon APP
propriate to the observance of the
day.
The pastor, Rev. n. y. Freeman,
spoke in the M. E.church fromGalatians
iii.24, ''The law was our school master
to bring us unto Christ" He contrast
ed law with the gospel and made plain
several inc thoughts.
The office Of the law Is to conduct
the world to Christ. The school mas
ter Of Athens protected the pupils but
did not instruct them.
Law diScloSeS Christ as Saviour.
Law can't save but conducts to the
Saviour. There are two methods OF
law in history: Written law with the
Jews and the law of conscience with
heathens. With Christ the world be-
gins a new life. The law, our school
master, is ever crOwding us on toward
Him who is able to save.
At the Congregational church on
Sunday morning, Rev. Warren f. Day
set forth the uses which we have for
theology, meaning by the term The
olOgy" "The science of the existence,
character and attributes of God, His
laws and government, the doctrines to
be believed and the duties to be prac-
ticed." In compliance with the re-
quest of considerable number of the
leading members of his congregation,
who felt that the severe heat would
render an evening meeting undesirable,
Mr.. Day Withdrew the appointment
for evening, but stated that personal
ly he was willing to take the discOm-
fort Of speaking in fervid tempera-
ture on the topic advertised.

He is Arrested for burglary. but breaks
Jail and Escapes.
The hardware store OF w. A. John
stone, OF Streator, was burglarlzed
Friday night, revolvers, knives, forks,
etc, valued at $3.50 being taken. Dir
die" Meadows and John Berry were
arrested for the theft and Berry made
a confession, duplicating Meadows.
Nearly all the stolen property was re-
covered by the police.
City Marshal Carroll brought Berry
TO OTTAWA Monday and placed him
IN charge OF Sheriff Morrssey. He did
not bring Meadows with him. The
fact OF the matter is Birdie" took
wings and flew Sunday evening when
no one was watching, and as yet he
eluded the authorities. The mode of
escape from the city Jail was simple,
yet difficult. Meadows pulled out a
register on the cell floor and crawled
up a SXll-inch ilue to the second floor.
The register was pulled in here and
the prisoner found himself in the
council chamber. 1t was a very easy
matter TO open the transom and
escape.
Meadows is % years old and four
months ago completed tive-year sem
tence in the penitentiary for burglary.
He has also served two terms in the
reform school and is considered very
bad boy. If captured he will be prose-
cuted under the habitual criminal act.
which means at least 4 fourteen-year
sentence,

Most Of the older residents Of Otta-
wa remember Norman McFarran, for
so many years prominent citizen of
La Sale. He died at that place June
9th, in the SD year of his age. He
was native Of New York, but went
from there to Maryland, where, in
about 1885, he had a contract on the
railroad from Baltimore to Washing
ton, the first built in the U. S. He
came to Illinois in about 1898, where
he had contracts on the Illinois and
Michigan canal. He was at one time
mayor of La Sale and had held other
minor offices, was always a highly re-
.spected citizen and had accumulated
considerable property.

The Monmouth papers of Saturday
give thrilling details Of an awful ca
lamity that was happily averted. Six
teen men were at work at the bottom
of 80 TT. shaft at the tile works near
that city, when the engine house at
the top and wooden structures about
it were set on fire by an explosion of
gas. The shaft was soon filed with
fire and smoke and the men below
were driven TO the furthest recesses to
avoid suffocatiOn. There seemed no
hope for them until it was recollected
that by an unused shaft there was
possible approach to within five or six
feet of the men. -Four heroic young
men, with picks and spades. volun-
teered TO be let down into this shaft and
there, by hard work. they dug hole
through barrier OF some six feet Of
clay and thus opened way by which
all We're rescued.
