Miss I1lig Tells About Her Dealings
With DR.. j. s. Mcclure.

Miss Illig Tells About Her Dealings
With DR.. j. s. MCGUIRE.
Miss S. E. IlIig. who says she was Tilted
by DR.. J. S. Mcclure, and who now threat
ems to prosecute him for pawning her
watch, which she loaned him, considers
the doctors about as bad man as he can
possibly be. To Posr-IsrELLIGENcER re-
porte; she said yesterday;
got acquainted with DR.. Mcclure about two
years ago. He had just been converted at the
City Mission. ] thought he was pretty nice
then, and about one month after first met him
we became engaged. But he soon went back to
his old ways-drank and neglected his business,
and put me to no end of trouble in paying his
debts and looking out for him. At one time
bought $50 worth OF furniture for him to fit up
his office in the squire-Latimer building and
paid $50 at one time for his rent there. Then
bought his carpet and his curtains, and he re-
paid me by taking the furniture and selling It
and ripping up the carpet at night and selling
that, too The curtains in his office now are my
property-that is, they are charged to me at the
store where bought them
The doctor says that am trying to blackmail
him, but say that l am not. This woman he
has lately married, I have heard, ia his fourth
wife. The first one died in India the second
one he deserted in Seattle nine years ago, while
she had an infant in her arms month old and
the third went insane in Centralia three years
ago from his abuse, and died in the asylum.
Miss Illig says that the $50 which she
loaned DR.. Mcclure at one time was
money which she had collected tor the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
fountain fund. This money, she says, be-
longs to the union, but she will have to
stand good for it. In all, she claims she
gave him several hundred dollars.
Her story of having paid for McGuire's
Office furniture is corroborated by the
Standard Furniture Company, at whose
store she got the furniture. Miss Illig
also exhibits two receipts that she re-
ceived for paying McGuires debts. These
receipts are as follows:

''Dr. McGuire's story of having inherited
fortune is all fiddlesticks." said Miss
Illig. "He told me the same thing and l
understand that he told some of his other
wives the same story, but the fortune
never showed up"

BAPTIST MISSIONARY WORK.
Inspiring Words to Those Who Carry
Light to the Heather.


Light to the Heather.
The Baptist missionary conference con-
tinued its session yesterday morning at
the First Baptist church. The attendance
was large.
The proceedings were opened with hymn
singing and fervent prayer. After this
the following programme was carried out:
1.-THE Grounds of Foreign Missions DR.. G. E.
Ford, Nanaimo, B. c.
1.-THE Relations OF Home Missions to Foreign
Missions" Rev. D. d. Proper.
THE Holy Spirit the Author of Foreign Mis-
sions," Rev. DR.. A. Bunker, Burmah.
"Our Duty to the Foreigners Among u" Rev
Dr. Ii. C. Mabis. D. D., Boston.
"Need OF More Thorough Christian Living,
Giving and Praying" Rev. j. Sunderland.
Prayer.
All the papers and addresses were ably
and generally discussed, particularly DR..
Mabie's address on "Our Duty to the For
eigners Among U.s."
The afternoon session began at 2 O'Clock
with prayer service. The exercises then
continued with an able address from the
Rev. c. +. Brownlee, of New Whatcom.
The basis of his remarks was the second
psalm. The Rev. J. E. Sanders, of Fern
dale, followed with a feeling talk on
christian Stewardship" This called
forth remarks from the Rev. NJ. L. Rugg,
Rev. G. ]. Burchett and the Rev. W. f.
Harper, of Tacoma.
The evening service was listened to by
an audience that filled every part of the
church. Many unable to secure seats
stood in the aisles.
The first address was delivered by the
Rev. Dr.. W. F. Harper, pastor of the First
Baptist church, of Tacoma. He spoke of
missionary work in general and the neces-
sity for funds with which to carry the
gospel to foreign nations.
The lecture of the occasion was, how
ever, presented by the Rev. DR.. II. c..
Mabie, of Boston. DR.. Mabie has visited
the Baptist missions in all the Asiatic
countries, and his talk. plain, blunt and
frank, bristled with touching experiences,
personal stories, and teemed with elo-
quent descriptions of the results achieved
among the heathens of the Old World.
With few men and limited means, the
Baptist missionaries have secured 10000
converts in China and India, 1900 of
which were brought into the church last
year. He told of how the work had
broken the health of strong men who had
given their lives to the missions, and how
necessary it was to raise funds not only
to keep the conquests already gained. but
to push the work into the heart of hea-
thenism and send the gospel to millions
who had heard of Christ and yearned for
him and his religion.
At the conclusion of his address salts
factory collection was taken up.
The programme for today will consist of
an interesting service in the chapel car,
now sidetracked at the down town depot
of the Northern Pacific.
In the afternoon a fine number of adj
dresses will be delivered in the First
Baptist church, while in the evening Dr.
A. Bunker will deliver an illustrated lee
ture ON Burmah.

AFTER THE GRIPPE.
The Grippe Responsible for More Deaths
after Recovery than During Its Course.
How to Avoid the Danger.


Grippe. in itself, is bad enough, deotlitating
enough, but IL is the after effects, the slowness OF
recovery that give IL lis great danger. In most
cases, the person did not have sufficient vitality to
rally after the disease itself had passed The
forces Of nature too weak to contend with the
debility which the Grippe had left.
1t is sad to think how many people havs died
who might have been saved If nature had been
properly assisted and fortified after the Grippe had
been driven from the system. Many physicians
realized this fact and assisted their patients
the dangerous AFTER effects by bracng up and slim
ulating their systems This was, and can be done
in but one way and that is by the steady and
moderate use of some pure yet powerful stimulant.
There is but one absolutely pure and medicinal
stimulant known TO the profession and to the pub
lie, and that is Dufy's Pure Malt Xhiskey. The
most prominent scientists and hysicans OF the land
endorse its purity and value. Its not a new whis-
key it has been before the public for years 1tisnot
cheap decoction but pure distillaton. It imparts
tone to the system possible in no other manner
and sends the blood coursing through the veins
with renewed vigor 1t is superior in every respect
and however much any INSCRIPTIONS druggist OF
grocer may seek to lead you to believe to the con-
trary do not be deceived.

GOSPEL ON WHEELS.
Chapel Car "Evangel' Here on
Missionary Work.
MEETING ON THE SIDE TRACK
Meeting of the Baptist Missionary Con-
ference-Address by DIR. Mabie, Of
Boston--Today's Programme.

The chapel car "Evangel" in charge of
the Rev. and Mrs. Z. G. Wheeler arrived
in Seattle yesterday. 1t is the only insti-
tuition of the kind in the United States.
and many persons have visited it to see
what it looks like.
This gospel car was built in 1891 and
presented to the American Baptist Pub
LEGATION Society by John D. Rockefeller,
Colgate Hoyt, Charles L. Colby, James
B. Colgate, Z. J. Barney and J. B. Trevor.
The condition of the gift was that it should
be used distinctively for missionary work.
1t is sixty feet long ten feet wide and has
q seating capacity of 100.
Since September 8, 1891, when the car
started out on its work from Cincinnati,
500 meetings have been held, $50 CONVEX
sions have been made, three churches
organized and three Sunday-schools estab-
lished.
1t is the purpose of "Sunday-School
Wheeler" as the Rev. DIR. Wheeler is
known all over the Coast, to keep the car
in Washington and Idaho for seventy
days, holding meetings for missionary pur-
poses in all the towns of these states to
which the car can 60.
The missionary preacher stated last
night that the car thus far has achieved
great results in awakening the public
mind to the importance of foreign mis-
sions. He intends to go to the Baptist
missionary conference to be held in Phila-
delphia in April of this year and to urge
that body to grant car for exclusive use
on the Pacific coast. The need is growing
to such an extent that he deems such q
thing absolutely necessary for the prosecu-
ton of Pacific coast work.
The car is run without charge over the
various railway lines of the country and is
maintained by the American Baptist Pub
LEGATION Society.
A service will be held in the car at 10 80
today to which the public is cordially in
yited
