stable John Farmer on a warrant sworn
out of Judge Redfeld's court by one Will
lam A. Turner. Mrs NcKenstry is charged
with the enlightenment OF a mortgage.
According to the story Nellie Mckenstry

it up aud threw it away. Why

UNITED CHARITIE,

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
By united charities we don't mean to
imply the disbanding of all the different
charity organizations Of the city aud alb
sorbiug them into one. but simply unity of
effort by cooperation. The committee
appointed for the ensuing year Is doing a
grand good work and is rapidly incress-
ing power and efficiency in carrying into
execution the only scheme of the kind ever
attempted in the city.
Our cooperative membership list is con-
stantly growing and while some who have
received their tickets as cooperative mem
beys Of this committee haven't yet caught
the FIRE, and while they seem TO thiuk it
means little or nothing 70 be a member of
this committee because the tickets cost
nothing, remember the ticket contains a
vow which by virtue OF your acceptanc c
becomes YOUR own. And here rest the re-
sponsibility more than any wher9 else OF
making the committees work successful.
some Of our members are rendering
faithful service and we are glaQ 10 record
the results Of their la5ors. Others OF
course are negligent and some few cases
have suffered from neglect by being en-
trusted 10 their care. The secretary IL
vestigates each case once. He finds il
practical impOssibihty 10 follow It up.
Besides it would be unwise for him 10 at

II one person could do ali the work
that is required, the demands
Tor the soclety's existence would

necessity for cooperation and we doubt
not that a thorough understanding on the

REVIVAL AT AUG CSTA.

The revival at Augusta is still going on
and the enthusiasm is at high tide Last
Sunday thirty-fve confessed sinners were
won for the Kingdom of Christ. making
the number of conversions up to date ex-
actly $50. As Augusta is not a great me-
tropolis by any means, this is a wonderful
harvest of souls, but the Methodisls are
not satisfied with it. They propose to
have three hundred converts by NEXT Sun
day. The influence and power of tie re-
vival are increasing and extending for
miles into the country. The minister in
charge of this revival found the lamp of
spiritual light Pickering in Augusta, when
he took hold of it, he trimmed it with the
scissors OF truth, until now its light pene
trates into the darkest souls and gives
them warmth and comfort.

Ing the market closely, so he had
reached the conclusion that according
TO the way prices have been
running at Wichita aud Kansas City for
the past few weeks, this was the place for
him to bring his hogs. Mr.. Mckittrick
has probably shipped rs many hogs as any
other man in the state and his judgment
on hogs, freights, shriukage. and prices are
naturally worthy OF consideration. Dur

been shipping from Peabody and Newton
have turned their stock toward this
market and met with most satisfactory
results.
