Fans Br ak Up he Con gregation.

There is war in the Methodist Prot
estan congregation ut Mechanicsburg, a
town of 1900 inhabitants, twelve miles
north of Springfield, Ill. The minister and
two or three members of the old fashion
ed kind constitute one faction, and the
remainder of the members, numbering
about three hundred, the other. There
is no doubt but that the majority will be
successful and will have the pastor, Rev.
trouble all originated over a
very insignificant matter Rov. Mr..
Reynolds is of a rather eccen-
trio disposition, is edging along toward
old age and he likes to have his man
dates obeyed. Moreover, when preach
ing. he likes to have his audience give
him the fullest possible attention. One
night he advertised extensively through
the church membership that he would
preach on Il subject of great interest. A
large audience assembled, but the min
istcr's deep thunderous passages seemed
to have little effect on the auditors who,
possibly, were very attentive. The
night was excessively hot and fans were
necessary for comfort. The constant
wave-lilie motion of these. breeze-pro-
ducers irritated Reynolds, who
nervously stopped every once
in while and seemed on
the verge of II volcanic eruption of
protests. Finally he broke forth speak
ing about the attention of the audience
and their use of fans. He said they
must stop using fans, and should think
of icebergs, the north pole, polar bears
and other subjects of "A frigid nature, and
to watch him. This started tho ball of
trouble, and several members indignant
ly arose and left the church. This
started others, and the minister was left
with but handful to talk to. This dis
comfitted him slightly. He remains firm
in his command, but will probably re-
sign At previous meetings he pro-
tested mildly against the use of fans,
claiming that it was useless to preach
while they were in operation.

Rev. T.. B. Reynolds partook of the
sacrament at the First Baptist church at
Springfield, Mo-, the other day for the
first time in many years, and thereby
hangs romantic tale. Rev. Reynolds
was soldier in the confederate army
and a brother of General REYNOLDS, who
was killed at the battle of Manassas.
After the war he never was heard of by
his relatives, including Captain homas
II. Cox, of this city, until few days
ago. 1t appears that he located in the
vicinity of Jefferson, Tex, and being a
widower without amy children and hav-
ing an abundance of property, he lived
the past twenty-five years in the strictest
seclusion. Recently his niece, Mrs.
Katie Jones, who had moved to Austin,
saw his name in the papers and hunted
him up. He had not seen her for thirty
four years. She brought him to Spring
field to spend the balance of his days
with Captain George NJ. Jones. He was
seventy years old July t.

FIRE AT FREEBURG.

Between twelve and one o'clock
on Tuesday night the people of
Freeburg were awakened by II loud
explosion. In an instant the flames
burst through the windows of the
storc-house owned by Mrs. Eliza
beth Mertz and occupied by B. j.
Bickcl, general store. In less time
than it takes to tell it, the burning
building was surrounded by an ca
ger anxious crowd to save what they
could but found it useless, and an
effort was made to save the adioin
ing dwelling house of Mrs. Merit,
but the flames spread rapidly, the
dwelling caught fire and thcinnatos
scarcely escaped with their lives
The next building was J. b. Shirk' $
tin store which was completely
gutted, though it's contcnsc were
removed with little damage to the
goods, but the building, though still
standing is ruined.

MoCLURE--A few of our people
are still in the grasp of the grip, but
by all appearance they are all going
to pull through.

40 dollars per month. We are sorry
to lose Mr.. II. and wish success in
his new place of business.
Miss Lizzie Middleswarth of this
place has never missed n day of
school. She is II years old and is
the only person in Mcclure that
didn't have the grip.

cry was closed some time ago. The
real cause for closing it is not known,
but ryrs~ has II that the people
did not patronize it as they should
have done. The people don't kno "
when they have n good thing.
