ABSOLUTELY PURE
Sam JONES on Bob Inrersoll.

Brookfield, Mo-, Jan. 17.-Eearly
1000 people eager to tear the famous
divine, Rev. Sam Jones, crowded into
the Yancy hall in this city tonight TO
hear him talk on sect There aud Stay
There" Mr.. Jones arrived here At 3
O'Clock and ''stayed there until be
got his $3.50 for his lecture on how 10
do it. Wirticlsms scintilated band in
hand with vein of pathos throughout
his entire lecture.
A Kansas City Times correspondent,
in interviewing Mr.. Jones, approached
him upon what he thought of Colonel
ingersoll's conversion by prayer He
answered as follows:
81 do not believe Mr.. Ingersoll has
been converted. have seen, in the
first place, the press notices OF the
Christian Endeavor of Cleveland, O.,
announcement that they would pray
for Mr.. Ingersoll's conversion, all of
which was unscriptural in itself. The
Savior taught US when we pray to ente
into our closets and shut the door, and
He that seeth thee in secret win award
thee in open. have also seen the
press notices of his willingness to join
he Peoples church IN certain city In
which he lectured. 1t is a church, as
understand it, without creed, dogmas
or faith. II that be true, don't know
why the devil couldn't join it, In the
first place, Mr.. Ingersoll doesn't want
to be converted, in my judgment, and
If were sinner / would feel some
what about his conversion like the gen.
tleman who approached the pastor
during the revival meeting one morn
ing and asked him: is it fact that it
is true that old Bill Green was con-
verted last nightP' NO. said the
preacher. HE was at the altar, but
not converted Il am glad OF that
| replied the gentleman. Why said
the preacher. Don't You want the old
sinner cenvertedP' sYes,' said the
gentleman, but want to get in ahead
of him, for fear he will exhaust the
plan of salvation
"But, seriously, don't believe DR.
Ingersoll will ever be converted to
Christianity. Repentance and faith
must precede conversion, and sup
pose In his own estimation he has doue
nothing to repent of, in the first place.
and in the second place, as he don't
believe anything scriptural, in my
Judgment he is a goner. 1 think Mr.
Ingersoll has checked his baggage
through to destruction and will 60 on
the tram he is now on. Christianity Is
simply and only matter of choices
God can not make q man Christian
unless he chooses to be. II He can,
why don't he? If he could, wouldn't
all men be Christian The devil can't
make men bad who do not choose to
be bad. Personally, believe Mr..
Ingersoll is clever, big hearted old
sinner, in his way; bur religionsly
speaking, he is bad egg. would
hate to fool away my time incubating
such an egg. He is charming orator.
and can make sentence as beautiful
as string of pearls. II old Bob were
to confess conversion, l would want
him to join on probation. I would do
by him like the Jews were by st. Paul.
l would give him the road awhile"

LIST OF TAXPAYERS.
What Some Citizens Have to
Separate Themselves from
in the Way of Taxes.
THESE WILL SURELY NOT sTARvE.
They Have Laid BY Little for That
Rainy Day.-A List of the Citizens
Of l. lafayette County Who Pay
Over $40 Taxes, and the
Amount They Pay.

Two INTELLIaENCER reporters went to
work in Collector Catron's Office Wednes-
d " to ascertain the names of the heaviest
taxpayers and the amounts paid by them.
1t was a whole days work but they got
the list. Our space would not permit us
to print the names of all the taxpayers of
the county, so we took forty dollars as the
minimum and give the names Of all who
pay that amount or more. One thing
must be borne in mind and that is that
many of the taxpayers are owness of bank
stock and members of firms. In these
cases the taxes are credited to the corpor-
alton or firm.
The list possibly has never been pub
lished before, at least not in recent years,
and it will prove very interesting to the
curious, (and every one has some
curipsity).

There was considerable stir in rail-

plain language, as stated at all four Of
the railroad offices that the corn rate TO
Galveston has been reduced exactly
cents per hundred, i. e. from % cents per
hundred pounds to 27 cents.
The rate has not only been reduced to
Galveston, but also to New Orleans. But
the strangest part of the story which
Is told by the tariff sheet, a copy of
which was shown TO a reporter Of the

freight Offices, was that while the rate
was reduced on corn cents at Wichita,
it was actually raised 2 cents per hun

FOOTBALL THIS AFTERNOON.
The Game Between Scranton and
Wyoming Will BE Decided.

This afternoon at 3 o'clock, Scranton
ians will have an opportunity Of seeing
the Scranton and Wyoming foot ball
game, which is to decide the tie game,
played at Kingston election day, in
which neither team succeeded in scor.
ing. Wyoming Is very much stronger
this year than ever before and the way
they went at the Scranton boys on
Tuesday last proved a great surprise to
the supporters Of the orange and black.
However, as Scranton will be consid-
erably strengthened by the addition OF
that old-time veteran guard, Zang. the
Scranton boys expect to make 1t decid-
edly interesting for the blue and white
stockinged foot ball warriors. This Is
the first game that the Scratnon team
has played here this year and much in
terest is manifested by the enthusiast
as to what the team can do without the
giant COnnery.
The team Is rather unfortunate In not
having a coach this year. but notwith-
standing that, are playing good, hard
foot ball. The fact that Wyoming play
ed Scranton a tie game on Tuesday has
very much encouraged the former and
they will come up with the determina-
ton to win
