A VINDICATION.
HE Is ALRIGHT.

ALTON, ILL.,, Aug. 22d,-Fditor Of
the CAPITAL:-Please allow us space
in your valuable paper to set before
your many readers the work of Rev.
b. "a. West, who was app inted by
the Union Baptist church with
authority to solicit money for the
purpose of erecting us church
edifice. After being out about two
months he returned to us on the goth
and our hea, is were electrified
with his presence. He preached two
soul stirring sermons tor us and we
felt that it was none other than the
very gates of heaven to our souls.
At the close Of the evening services
he made his financial report which
filled our hearts again with joy he
having collected for us $150.25.
Now we want to say that Rev.
West has been with us about one
year and we have lad more peace
and union in our business meetings
than wa had for many years. We
promised him salary of $40 per
week, and by the help Of the Lord,
we have paid him upin full to date.
We have kept up all expenses Of
the church and have paid on the
church debt and have some money
in the treasury. Ed West is yet
on the field as our financial agent.
II has been reported that he had
left us and that some other one was
in charge of the church. Elder
West is still our pastor and has the
hearty approval of the church as
our agent. We hope that this will
render satisfaction to any me who
entertains any doubt as to whether
he is authorized t solicit money
for the Union Baptist chuI ch.

BLUFF LINE.

Gen'l Man'g Fl. A. Fisher of the Popu
lar Bluff r r. has added additional train
service over this line, they now have four
trains between Springfield and Alton,
two each way. This new arrangement
gives both a morning and evening con-
nection out of st. Louis to all of their
points, and gives an additional train to
and from Alton. For picnics and excur-
sion parties for one day seeking breeze
and comfort this is one of the most de-
lightful routes i'm a radius of 60 or 10
miles which only consumes two to three
hours before the sun beams down her in
tense heat. They have also arranged SO
that excellent time can be made to their
summer resorts especially Clifton Ter
race and Piasa Bluffs. Two new and pic
