A REVIVAL AT
Meetings Are Held This Week in the
University Auditorium.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct. S.-For the
first time in its history, a revival SER
vice is in progress at the State Uni
versity Auditorium. 1t came about in
this way: The engagement Of the
local pastors with the evangelist, Rev.
DR.. II. M. Wharton, of Baltimore,
closed Saturday. To continue the
meetings a larger auditorium was
necessary. No church building in
town would accommodate the crowds.
The University Y. NJ. G. A. took the
matter up. They declared that in or.
der to ecure seats, the university
students were compelled to lose two
or three hours of their studies. In
order, therefore, that the students
might have the benefit of the meet
ings, they petitioned President Jesse
for the use of the University Audito-
rum for q weeks series of meetings,
under the auspices of the University
Y. M. q. A. More than 400 students
signed the petition, and it was granted.
Sunday night, therefore, the meet
ings were transferred to the Univer-
sity Auditorium, which seats 1900
persona Every seat was taken. In
the morning the services were held in
the Christian Church, and in the
evening at the auditorium. There
have been more than 100 conversions,
each of the churches uniting in the
meeting receiving some new MEM
bers. These are the Methodist,
Baptist, Christian and Presbyterian
churches.

= CONGRESSMAN BELL OF COLORADO ONE OF THOSE RECENTLY RESTORED
TO HEALTH BY pAHES CELERY COMPOUND.

OF body and mind by this same great
nerve and brain restorative.
Paine's celery compound is the
greatest achievement in modern med
icine. 1t banishes weakness and pain
as surely as its famous contemporary,
the electric light, dispels darkness.
Paine's celery compound frees the
body of vicious humors that cause
kidney and liver complaint. Only a
great remedy based on a deep knowl-
edge of these diseases could do the
work that Paine's celery compound is
now doing. Better nutrition for the
nerves, an awakened appetite, puri-
fed blood and complete assimilation
these follow the conscientious use
of Paine's celery compound as surely
as day follows night.
II you Ire alarmed by a throbbing
of the heart, an irritable stomach, or
general debility, be fair with yourself,
use the best means there is, examine
what Paine's celery compound is do
ing. 1t has cured an astonishing num-
Der of men and women of Bright's
diseases, rheumatism, neuralgia,
heart and liver trouble. No sufferer
can pass lightly.over the remarkable
record that Paine's celery compound
has to show to every sick and ailing
person.
Among the thousands of testimon-
ials received this year is one recently
sent by Congressman John O. Bell of
Colorado, who says he has used three
bottles of this best of all remedies for
dyspepsia and rheumatism, with the
most satisfactory results. Among the
testimonials received since January
there have been no less than 16 from
Congressman from different States.

HISTORIC TREE
Top of q Magnolia Planted by Wash
ington Broken OF by O Storm.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Tt has just
been discovered that the storm which
swept over Washington a week ago
destroyed one of the most precious
relics at Mount Vernon, the home
stead of Washington. This was a tree
planted by Washington himself and
which had weathered the storms of
almost q century. 1t vas a magnolia
planted in 1893, the year of Washing
toms death.
This great tree, which has been
looked at and talked about by millions
OF people and about which SO much
has been written, had about fifteen
feet Of It's top blown off and it's trunk
split down for a distance Of four or
FIVE feet. The tree before the storm
was perhaps forty feet high. 1t was
brought from Curtis Neck, on the
James River, in Virginia, when it was
three years old, and was transplanted
by General Washington Immediately
upon its arrival at Mount Vernon.
The top broken of during the storm
will not be destroyed, but its leaves
will be preserved or given to those
who desire them az mementoes. The
wood, a part of which Is solid, will be
used In manufacturing miniature souv-
ouire.

1t is surprising to many that foot
ball players and other athletes regard
q sprain or bruise of 80 little conse-
qnence. One reason of this is, they
know how to treat such injuries 81 az
to recover from them in a few days,
while others would be laid up for two
or three weeks, If not longer. Writing
from Central State Normal School,
Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. H. Losch,

nasium says: ~ take pleasure in
stating that members of our base ball

JURORS ARGUE,
But Only About Politlcs-Why an Hi.
nois Court Adjourns.

DANvTLLE, ILL, Oct. Son account
of the great interest in the election,
Judge ~Bookwalter, on the converting
of Circuit Court, adjourned all litigat-
ed cases to November 8. He was re-
quested to take this action by a petit
ton signed by nearly all the vermil-
ion county lawyers. Most of the at
torneys r daily engaged in making
political speeches. They had agreed
among themselves in many cases il
the Judge would not grant the petit
ton to continue the cases themselves.
1t is claimed that when II jurors re-
tired to consider their verdict in a
case tried before them, it was not at
all unlikely they would commence an
discussion of the much
greater case of gold VS.. silver.

before they had any interest in deny
ing the truth. In the New York Sun
Of Sept. 10, 1898, for instance, was an
editorial of which this Is an extract:
For more than is years. 1873 to 1898, all the
great primary agricultural staples have been
declining In price, although there have been
periods when the price of some one was high
for q limited time. This Is more notably true
as respects secondary products, especially
meats and lard, but the trend of the whole
scale has been constantly downward. and the
general price level at the end OF each year
was lower than al Its beginning. In the mean.
time there had been no material reduction In
the cost Of production, the self binder, the
gang pillow, mower, hay tedder and hay loader
and all other great improvements in ~agricul-
tural machinery having come into use prior TO
1873. Subsequent notifications and improve
ments have been in the direction of greater
facility in operation rather than Of lessened
cost. While IL II true that there has been o
material reduction In the cost of farming inn
PIGMENTS. such reduction has not always re-
suited In lessentna the cost Of production on
the farm, as new machines have often dis
placed those which were but partially worn
and which were quite as efficient.

There is just now no lack of news
from the Western States.
Public opinion in Colorado and lows
is as promptly and accurately heard
of as from any New England State.
From all over the West come re
ports that Paine's celery compound
occupies practically g clear field in
the cure of diseases arising from a
tired or otherwise impaired nervous
system.
No other remedy vas ever used by
80 many lei of sound and reliable
judgment. No remedy but Paine's
celery compound has ever been rec
commended by so conspicuously fair
minded a body of men and women.
The half-hearted experimental efforts
Of scores and cores of sarsaparillas,
tonics, and so-called nervfnes, with
which the market is constantly re-
cruited, are in startling contrast with
the confident-because thoroughly
scientific-way in which Paine's celery
compound sets about restoring health
and vigor to the worn out body.
Why will people be silly enough to
jeopardize their lives and lessen their
chances of getting well by taking any
thing else?
There is no help SO sure and so i'm
mediate as n gets from the use of
Paine's celery compound. Detailed
information of innumerable cases of
rheumatism, neuralgia and dyspepsia,
completely cured, has established this
great ~invigorator az the most valua-
BILE remedy those run down in health
can make use of.

ergy was nigh exhausted have been

TERROR
OF the Sea and Air-Combined Torpedo
Boat and Aerial Gun.

Experiments are now being tried
with view of combining torpedo boats
and aerial machines in hostile opera
tions against ships or forts. A boat
has been designed to dive under water
and fire a torpedo into a battleship's
hull. The proposed aerial gun will
send a shell of explosives through the
air and drop it on an enemy's deck or
into q fort. If the combination of
these two machines should prove sue
cessful the craft will be the most
wonderful engine OF destruction in
modern warfare. The aerial gun is to
be placed in the bow, and will be OPP
Grated in this wise: The boat, for in
stance, is moving along the surface at
a ffteen-knot speed. At the word of
command her petroleum fires are put
out, the electric engines started, the
smokestack and airshaft drawn inside
the vessel and covered over. She is
made to sink by admitting water to
her tanks. AT the same moment two
horizontal ruddera at the stem are
inclined upward and the So foot steel,
car-shaped craft dives like q porpoise.
She runs, ordinarily, either three or
thirty feet under the surface, but is
built to stand the pressure of a depth
of 20 feet. She has a constant tend
ency to rise, but is kept below by the
rudder on her stern. Should
she accidently sink, there are auto
matte arrangements governed by the
outside water pressure that empty the
water tanks and compel the vessel to
rise to the surface. The effect of the
fire Of this machine is the more appall-
ing because it can be delivered with
out giving the slightest sign to the
enemy. When approaching an enemy
the vessel rises to within three feet of
the surface, and q revolving looking
glass lie raised above the water. This
reflects down into the boat through q
tube all the surroundings. When the
range Of o hostile fort is obtained the
bow Of the boat lie allowed to come on
= level with the surface Of the water,
exposing the mouth Of the
aerial gun. The body Of the gun il in
side the boat. Then pneumatic press
ure sends load OF destruction into the
air and down into the fort. The boat
drops back into the depths of the sea,

hot comes. There is no smoke, moth
