TUESDAY.

TUESDAY.
Evangelist Boles preached last night
on "DenOminatiOnal Differences. He
was greeted by the largest mid-week
audience that has been on the grounds
yet. The big tent was full and run
ming over. There were doubtless
more than 1900 present. 1t is indeed
remarkable tue way the people turn
out to these meetings.
The sermon last night was illus
trated on two large charts. The
evangelist declared himself a union
man in politics as well as religion. If
all the little 2x4 spOuting politicians
would lose their cunning the people
would unite politically and solve the
great problem before them. likewise
if the little 2x4 preachers were inca
pacltated the people would come
together religiously. The principle
point of controversy which BOles
handled last night was the operation
of the holy spirit. He showed that all
religious people agreed that the holy
spirit did operate on TIE heart, but
the point in controversy was whether
1t operated Immediately and miracu-
lously in the regeneration of the
heart, or whether solely by the
preached word in the good impress
siOns thus made. He showed that
this point was not a test of faith in
any church, that men and women
were conceded to be christians who
never experienced the miraculous sem
Stations claimed by others, hence
there was nothing to prevent a union
with that point still unsettled. He
thought the disciples had laid so
much stress on this point of miracu-
lous regeneration being a hoax that
they had invited needless controver-
sy. Since it was not a test of fellow
ship in any church it would seem that
Gods people were more nearly to-
gether than they thought they we're.
and that eventually the wall of sepa-
ration would be lowered and that all
forces would unite in one grand phal-
anx against the devil. ut has not
been long since many of my brethren
would have thought that you, Bro.
Henderson, pointing to HIM had no
show on earth fer heaven; we would
have had you roasting sure: but it is
not so any more. We will all be in
one grand organization after awhile" ~
The sermon will be continued to-
night, and will grow in interest. 1t
made a profound impression on the
audience last night. When the invi-
tatiOn was extended four came for
ward.

and remained yesterday. A good many
Winfield people will come over Sun
day.
The subject tonight will be "The
Gospel Chain" While the chain will
doubtless be the same old chain it
will be odd indeed if Evangelist Boles
doesn't weave some new thoughts
into it.
The institute yesterday took a turn
on the question of mission societies.
He showed that the apostolic church
had some sort Of a system for doing
missionary work with headquarters
at Antioch and Jerusalem.
The institute on Monday attract
ed a large crowd. 1.-THE Church at
Work Under the Apostles" is a beauti-
full subject, and brought out many
new ideas. No church member can
afford to miss these Institutes.
Many were present from the country.
The church institute Wednesday
was Of great interest. Brother Boles
took up the subject Of the persecution
of the saints, calling for the reSpon-
Sive reading Of many passages of |
scripture along that line. He traced |
the prosecutions down to the present |
time aud used the incident |
of the cenSure of Rev. Bot |
kin as an Illustration. He said that |
BOtkin was practically driven from
the charge because he spoke the truth
in defense Of the homes of this land,
from the ravages Of the gold bugs and
rumsellers. He honored BOtkin for
having thus invited the devils perse-
cntiOn and prayed for fastening o.
the day wheI the church would stand
by such heroes. He had no patience
for the contemplate little pin heads
who heaped such persecution upon
those brave men who dare to de
nOunce the sins of today rather than
those Of the ancient Jews.

Sunday Nights Storm.

Emporia, Kan, Sep. 9.-The new
wing of the Kansas State Normal
school is in ruins. Part of the north
brick wall has been blown in and the
roof carried away. 1t has only lately
been finished and cost $4,000. The
loss so far will be not less than 3d..
600, with prospects of being still
worse, as Albert Taylor hall, with its
fine stage, frescO work, chairs, ETC., is
open to the rain. Fortunately no one
was in the building when it went
down.
Four inches of rain fell in two
hours, accompanied by terrific wind
storm. William Clarke's wholesale fur
niture store was drenched, Easements
and cellars are flooded and sidewalks
torn up all over the city. But meager
reports have been received from the
country as yet, At Reading a bridge
and thousand feet Of the Santa Fe
track is gone. At Neosho Rapids,
several dwellings, a church and a liv-
cry barn were destroyed. At Hart
ford dwelling was blown down and
a Miss Bessie Henry was seriously in
jured. So far as can be learned no
one was killed. Wires are down in
every direction.
The destruction Of Albert Taylor
hall will in no wise interfere with
work at the normal, as fifty rooms in
the main building remain uninjured,
and there will be no interruption Of
classes.
AT Independence, six inches Of
water fell in less than an hour. The
streams rose rapidly and great dam
age is anticipated.
The town Of Gridley, in Coffey
county, was struck by cyclone late
yesterday afternoon causing much
damage to property. Some of the
best business blocks and residences
are reported wrecked and several
people reported injured. Telegraphic
communication is cut of, and trains
are unable to run at present.
At Fredonia the storm was the
heaviest ever known there, fully ten
inches Of water fell, overlooking the
river, flooding the bottoms and wash
ing out the railroad tracks.
The fair grounds are from two to
four feet under water and the Frisco
and Pacific trains are waterbound out
side the city. The town of Neosho
rapids, near EmpOria, suffered severe
ly, as did the latter named town.
Five business houses at Neosho Rap
ids we're destroyed and a number of
dwelling houses were carried away.
The NeOsho river is higher than it has
been for years.

is shut of. Crops will suffer greatly

Postmaster McCoppin Advises the Pub
lie to Patronize the Branch Stations.
Postmaster McCoppin, anticipating the
usual heavy increase of business at the
Postoffice during the holiday season, is
anxious to have the public do as much of
its mailing as possible through the branch
stations, so as not to overcrowd the main
Office
The matter sent through the main office
for the past few days has already increased
one-third. In order to facilitate the bust
ness and prevent any overcrowding Mr..
McCoppin has issued a public notice re-
questing people living near the branch
stations to send their mail through them.
The branch stations, ten in number, are
A. 1909 Polk street; B, City Hall avenue: G,
Twentieth and Mission Streets d. foot of Mar

A few extra clerks may be put on for the
holiday business, but no authorization to
do so has as yet been received from Wash

PARK BAND TRUSTEE.
G. b. WiIcutt Appointed to the Position
Made Vacant by Joseph Redding's
Withdrawal.

Concerning the resignation of Joseph D..
Redding as trustee of the Park Band and
the rendering of the position TO George b.
Wilcutt it can be said, using Mr.. Wilcutt
as authority, that the general plans which
have heretofore governed the band will
not be materially changed.
Mr.. Spadina will continue to lead the
band, and under the management of l. c.
Coggin concerts will be given as before, on
Sundays only.
Although much regret has been ex-
pressed that business in the East has made
1t imperative for Mr.. Redding to resign
his position, it is the general opinion that
Mr.. Wilcutt will be an able successor, as
he has taken an active interest in the con-
certs since they were introduced by the
street railway management ten or twelve
years ago.
''In regard to the new concourse upon
which the work of construction COM
menced last Monday" said Mr.. Wilcutt
yesterday, II know very little concerning
it, as it is under the jurisdiction of the
Park Commissioners, but | am DESTROYS
that the original plans, which call for the
erection of an i'm .nense marble peristile,
may be carried out"

vaded.
San Francisco Merchants to Be Shown
How 1t Can Be Successfully
Done.

Traffic Manager w. B. Curtis of the
Traffic Association is planning for another
extension of the iobbing business of the
merchants of San Francisco.
The field that he now intends to direct
their attention to as being favorable one
to exploit is the central portion of the pro-
ductive Willamette Valley in Oregon. This
is a field that the merchants of this City
and of that section made a great hurrah
about some years ago, anu for a period
closer relations and more extensive trans
actions resulted, but matters have since to
a great extent lapsed into the former rut.
Mr.. Curtis, with his intimate knowledge
of the railroad and general transportation
facilities of the coast, views this as one of
the most promising problems to attack at
the present time, and the proper solution of
which Will add greatly to the jobbing trade
of San Francisco. At present that section
derives it's supplies mostly from Portland,
which has direct transportation facilities
both by rail and water. But in the opinion
Of Traffic Manager Curtis the local jobbers
and manufacturers have even more than a
fighting chance against Portland in many
classes of goods.
In order to bring the matter to the at
tention of the merchants in the most COM
prehensive and effective manner, Mr. Cur
It's is now preparing comparative table of
rates between here and certain Willamette
Valley points by the all-rail route over the
Southern Pacific Company's lines and by
the part water and part rail route, via va
quina Bay and Detroit, Or. and also be.
tween Portland, Or, and these same Will
lamette Valley points. He is certain that
he will be able to show that freight from
this City can be carried into the desired
territory more cheaply from this CITY via
Yaquina Bay than it can be from Portland.
The Oregon Central Railway Company
is operating line of steamers between
here and Yaquina Bay, and also railroad
from Yaquina Bay to Detroit, distance of
lao miles. From Detroit which Is in the
heart Of the most productive portion of the
Willamette Valley, the goods could be dis
tributed over large area at little addi-
tional expense, either by water or rail-
The proposition of Mr.. Curtis is for the
local merchants to utilize the facilities
offered by the Oregon Central Railway,
which is willing to meet them in the most
liberal spirit and make determined fight
for the valuable trade Of the section men
toned.
