DR.. Munhall's Sensation.

DR.. MunhalPs Sensation.
The Rev. DR.. Munhall, who is wildly
remembered in this community, is making
a good deal of a sensation in Hackensack,
n. J. The doctor is a revivalist of the
intense kind and the communities in
which he makes an appearance for re-
ligious work are given n very thorough
shaking up. His meetings in the indie
pendent Presbyterian church of this city
aroused deep religious interests, and there
are good many people here whose re-
Iigious life had its beginning at those
meetings.
Some of the ministers at Hackensack
We're not pleased with DR.. Munhau's
style of preaching and conducting reli-
gious services, and one of them, the Rev.
Mr.. Vorhis, said so in a sermon entitled,
"NTunhallism Unmasked." He called Dr.
Munhans methods superficial and ieshy
and declared that they were perversion
Of the scripture. According to the Rev
Mr. Vorhis, Or. MunhalTs means for
making proselytes are human processes"
which should be classified as spiritual
abortions Dr. Munhall replied. of course
and the whole town is now divided into
Munhall and Vorhis factions.
The row between the two ministers, how
ever is only one of the sensations. The
Ortani Field Club has a fair, at which
there is rafting, and the Munhallites
threaten to have the managers of the
fair arrested for conducting a gambling
establishment. The women connected with
the fair have held a meeting and sent
a message to the Munhallites dofying
them to interfere with the fair in any
way.
1t is impossible to say which faction
will get the better of the contest, but
there is no doubt that Hackensack is
seething with eXcitment, and that it
would not require much effort to set the
people fighting in the streets.
Bob Cook and his gang of outlaws are
possessed of a keen sense of humor. They
not only rob trains and banks al will, but
rob the deputy marshals that are put on
trains to shoot them down. The gangs ex-
plot near Muscogee, I, T., reported in our
dispatches of yesterday must have been
the subject of button-bursting OUTLAWS"
on the part of the members after they had
gotten safely away from the scene. To

/ and pest than ever the Jesse James gang
was, For months the people on the Dor

/ Territory have lived In dread of the gang
/ And they have had good reason to do so,
! for the gang has been inspired with per-
nicious and surprising activity. Within a
month five or six trains have been held
1 up and at least two towns captured and
banks and business houses looted. Dur
! ing the current week train robberies have
been committed by the gang at Verona,
Mo. and Muscogee, l. r, a bank has been
held up by them at Sylvan Grove, Kans..

this week, and the week is not yet ended

the Cook gang.
