a young man named Gollen. friend
oil both McNabb and the Kellogg woman
went up to their room about $50 to
call on them. lie heard the woman
groaning aud called for help. Inspector
Mclvy and several officers were soon on
the scene. On the floor Law the woman
with three bullets in her head and neck.
McNabb was lying beside her with two
shots through the head that killed him
almost instantly. The woman was
taken to the Homeopathic hospital. She
can hardly recover.
McNabb evidently meant murder when
le went to the room, for he was only
there short time before he did the
shooting. Louise Kellogg's right name
is Mrs. W. =. Rockwell, and she has a
husband living at Seattle, Wash. Kel,
!!ogg was her stage name. Her parents
live at Braddock, near this city. She
was probably trying to break of her in
timacy with McNabb and this probably
prompted him to shoot the woman and
himself.

we look over our vanished heritap,
for the last time and like the lone Indian
turn sadly away. We had learned to
enjoy weekly communion with our
readers and say adieu with unspeakable
sadness. To those men who have stood
by us through all | will say YOU shall

only say your action left me hedged
about.
| 'Mr. Boylln, our associate, will con-
tlnue with the new Advocate.
Let us hope it is all by the providence
OF God. We gave to the church the COL
pNrtage system. We have brought peace
to Journalism in our conference, and pos
sibly our mission has ended amongst
you all. May the God OF peace sanctify
you wholly, and pray God your whole
spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless till the coming of our Lord

The newspaper will be published at
greensboro and will be named The North
Carolina Christian Advocate.
1t is not absolutely certain, however,
that this consolidation will assure only
one paper in the two conferences. THE

formerly editor of the Western North
Carolina Methodist, published in Ashe-

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
An Interesting Meeting Held Yester-
day-Good Speeches and Music.

There WAS well-attended meeting of
the Anti saloon League yesterday after
noon at the Fifth Congregational Church,
at the corner of Sth and l streets north
east.
William Vinal, the second vice president
of the league, presided and made short
speech in regard to the object of the or
ganization. An interesting account of the
use of liquor in European cities was given
by Rev. c. II. Butler, the pastor of the
Keller Memorial Church. The union of all
Christians in doing away with the liquor
traffic was advocated by Mrs. CLEARWATER.
She spoke of the mission of the league,
which was TO wipe out the drink evil and
to help those under it's influence.
A plea for unity in work was made by
Mrs. NJ. Il. Griffith, the president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She
said that in the league individual work
and united effort are combined to attain
one result. She thought that all the
churches, temperance societies and other
moral organizations should ally them
selves to the league and form grand army
of invasion into the domains of old king
alcohol.
In conclusion, she paid high tribute 70
the excellent practical work which is being
accomplished daily by the Anti-saloon
League and its agents.
Excellent musical selections were rem
dered by the choir and congregation.
