Alamo Baptist Revival.

The Alamo Baptist church was
we'll filled by an attentive
gathering last evening, to listen to
the revival preaching of the Rev.
Sid Williams, assisted by Prof. j.
A. Brown, as organist, and a well
trained choir, which rendered fine
gospel sons, accompanied by cor
net by a member of the Salvation
army.
After a few Introductory re-
marks by the pastor, Rev. Lucado,
Mr.. Williams arose and announced
his text: "What Seek Ye." The
speaker, while not adhering closely
to the subject, made it the point
centre of his many SMILES. John
the Baptist, the most beloved of
all the APOSTLES, pointed out the
Savior, saying: "Behold the
Lamb of God, and when
they followed Jesus he
asked them: Whom seek We? The
Pharislees, Nicodemus,and many OF
the men, high in authority and
learning, sought the great Naza-
rene, some even in the darkness OF
night; they were members of that
great organization, the Sanhedrim,
strict in their tenets of faith; to all
of them was applied the interoga-
tory: Whom and what seek We? The
speaker used comparison and illus
trations from real life, pathetic
and expressive of deep earnestness
of purpose, and to each of which he
applied the moral as laid down in
his text. Mr.. Williams is speaker
of merit, and appeals to the better
and nobler feelings of the heart to
lead pure lives. His discourse is
pleasant and happy, void of vul.
gar slang of the Sam Jones style of
exhortation. A vocal duet Of tenor
and alto, "Wonderful Story OF
Love-" accompanied by organ and
cornet, was well and feelingly rem.
dered.
The meetings will be continued
daily at IL a. m. and at p. M, to
which all are cordially invited.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
To the Memory of BENZ. Cleghorn
Adopted by Veterans.

At special meeting of David S.
Stanley Encampment No. S4l,
Union Veteran Legion, held yes
terday afternoon, the following
resolutions of respect to the men,
Dry of a departed comrade, Benz
Cleghorn, were presented and
unanimously adopted:
Commander and Comrades -
Whereas, it has pleased the AL
mighty God to whose will and
power we most humbly submit, t
to summon from our ranks our
beloved comrade, Benz. Cleghorn,
a brave soldier, and a true man,
who departed this life while in the
line of duty and at his post of duty
at IL o'clock a. m, on December
29th, 1898, with heart disease, it
becomes our sad duty to pay a
tribute Of respect to a
comrade whose sudden TAX
ing off is deeply deplOred,
not only by all the comrades of
this encampment but by all who
knew him throughout this entire
community where he has resided
the past 5wenty-eight years; his
quiet, kind and peaceful DISPOSE
ton made him beloved by all who
knew him. In the death of Com
rade Cleghorn this encampment has
met with an irreparable loss. He
served faithfully and honorably in
the defence of his adopted country
throughout the last war from be-
ginning to end. After his discharge
from the army he became United
States storekeeper in the govern
ment depot at Fort Sam Houston,
in this city, where he served faith
fully the past twenty-eight years
and died at his desk Dec. 29th, 1898.
He was charitable, honest and gen.
erous. His happiest moments
were when he was relieving the
distresses of his fellow men. Peace
and good will toward all mankind
reigned supreme in his heart and
mind. 1t can be truly said Of him
that he loved his fellow men.
Therefore, be it, resolved that
this encampment be declared, in
mourning for thirty days from
date, and that our charter and the
shields worn by the comrades of
this encampment be draped in
mourning during that period.
Be it further resolved that out
of respect to the memory of our
deceased comrade, the committee
on entertainment be and is here
by instructed to withdraw and
cancel all arrangements that have
been made for a public installa-
ton of the officers elect of his en-
campment, which was intended to
be held on the 18th of this month,
and a copy of these preambles and
resolutions be engrossed in the
records of this encampment and a
copy furnished each of the daily
papers in this city.

duces finer furs, finer and softer
woods than can be grown in a hot
climate. This Is natural law that
neither free wool fallacies, wilful
ignorance nor partisan malice can
abrogate.
The best woods can not only be
grown here, but in sufficient guam
titles, too, to fully supply every de-
mand of manufacturers and con-
sumers, and at prices low enough to
satisfy every reasonable require
ment.
But the Tariff tinkering majority
in Congress is pursuing a course
that must compel every American
wool grower to surrender his only
market to foreign competition.
Corrupt trusts can be fostered, en-
couraged and protected, but the in
terests and rights of American
farmers are not to be regarded.
Yet the men at Washington ex-
pect Democrats who are engaged IN
the wool growing business, and
other branches of farming as well,
to meekly or, to quote Mr.. Voor-
hees, 'loyally'' fall into line and
continue to vote the straight ticket.
Well, wait till they get a chance
and see.

position upon the taxpayer. Me
also said that the school house now
was unfit to go into and If more Of
the same kind went into it, it
would not be fit for use at all. Ii
these meetings are to be held in our
school houses let the school board
lay reasonable tax on all such or
CARNATIONS, or refuse them the use
of the school houses altogether
which would be much better.
A part of the Bellevernon rod and
gun CLUB spent last week fishing
and hunting in this vicinity. They
stopped at the hotel Diamond while
here.
Our young folks have fallen into
two bad habits. They are pitching
horse shoes and playing cards. They
must have something to pass the
time away and perhaps no one else
would object to the innocent sport
with the horse shoes for they always
do that on week day, but not so
with the cards. Sunday is gener-
ally selected for card playing. Be
careful boys, you might get your
foot in it.
We hear no arguments on the
question of issuing school bonds
for the reason that every one seems
to be of the same opinion on that
all important subject.
Our voters are making prepare
tions to pay ;he Wilson bill off this

Choice Extracts.

Senator Iill's speech July-3.l
l have earnestly appealed to my
party friends to eliminate this obiec-
tional feature (the income tax) but
my appeals have been in vain.
! have warned them Of the dan
gers to which in my judgement,
they were unnecessarily subjecting
the Democratic party, but they
have chosen to disregard them, as
was their privilege.
In my opinion, it imperils the
possibility of permanent Democratic
success in any Northern State
for many years to come.
The true principals of Tariff re-
form have been been sacrificed in
the effort to insure the retention of
an income tax. This the country
beheves-this the country under
stands. We promised the people
bread and we are giving them a
stone. We promised them free raw
materials, and we are giving them
taxed coal, taxed iron ore, taxed
coke, taxed lead ore, and other tax
ed raw materials.
They expected free sugar, but
we are taxing not only that article,
but other nccessaries of life.
The provisions Of the bill are
not consistent; they violate we'll es-
tablished Democratic principles
they are unfair in their discrimina-
tons, and their enactment will
place the party in & false and I'M
tenable position.
If Republican protection was a
fraud and a robbery, as we declar-
ed in the Chicago platform, is Dem
ocratic protection any the less so?
This is not a Democratic bill, |
am sure; it is not a distinctly Re-
publican bill; 1t is not q Populist
bill entire, but it is a mixture Of
all-it is rag bag production-it
is crazy quilt combinatIon-it is
a splendid nothing.
"Sink or swim, live or die, sur
yiye or perish" l cannot and will
not support this bill in its present
shape.

SALEN, Or, July 1S.-Governor Pen
meyer, speaking of the strikes, says: IF
the president had listened to the appeal
in my Christmas letter and, by carrying
out the pledges of the platform onwhicR
he was elected, had secured the use Of
both gold and silver standard money,
business would have revived and the ex-
listing widespread idleness, poverty and
discomfort, the triple progeny of gold
basis, would have been prevented. Suf-
ficient money and compulsory arbitra-
ton, and not federal bayonets and ex-
ecutive usurpation, would be the needs
of the hour. The federal government
should be divorced from corporate mo-
nopolies. The real culprit in all this
trouble is the gold bug"
