DR.. White then 81 oke at some length
on the necessity of taking some immedi-
ate steps toward your SOULS salvation.
Not putting it off until ever!astingly too
late. God says, Seek ye first the King
dom of Cod" Are you doing this, or are
you busying youself here and there ami
neglectiDg your souls salvation? You
say that you have not time to seek saliva
tion. Don't you know your first duty is
to prepare for eternity9 Soon you will
be forced to take time to die" .
DIR. White then closed his discourse
with an earnest appeal to every one to
stop and consider the end, tc prepare for
the final great Judgment.
These services seem to increase rather
than Diminish, in size and interest. The
work being accomplished Is mnnifestiy
great and souls, precious souls, are being
won for Christ.

A BURGLARS MISTAKE.
After killing the Man He IL Robbin:s
He Shoots Down a Friend,

Aurora, ILL.,, Nov. 1. - Peter Braun,
and his brother Harry conduct small
grocery in the outskirts of Aurora.
The store is in the same yard as their
dwelling. Between the two buildings
stands lilac bush. At ten o'clock at
night the Braun brothers closed their
store and started for the house. AS
they passed the lilac bush two masked
men confronted them with drawn re-
volvers. Peter, the older brother, at
tackled one robber and was greeted by
four pistol shots. Every bullet hit, and
the grocer fell dead upon his own door,
step. Harry Braun fed from the rob-
bers. The man who did the shooting
saw figure in the darkness and gave
it shot which penetrated the brain of
the human target. But the robber had
made terrible mistake. The second
dead man proved to be his brother
highwayman. The murderer then went
to the home of Jacob Rink, half mile
distant, where he stole a horse and
wagon. The rig was found at Batavia,
seven miles away, with two revolvers on
the seat. No further trace of the MUIR
derer rewards the efforts of the police.

Remarkable Honor and Nerve OF =
Condemned Indian.
7. Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. IA special
to the Times from Chelsea, l. T., says:
John Watlla, the Creek Indian who shot
Jonas Deer, another member of his own
tribe, was legally executed for the
crime. The men were rivals for the
hand of the same girl and fought at
dance at which she was present to de-
eide who should gain her. Watka killed
Deer and afterwards married the In
dian maiden.
Several days prior to the time prepa-
rations for his wife's future welfare
were completed, and the pain of part
ing over, Watka set out alone to the pub
lie execution grounds. In due time he
arrived; the crowd was waiting. The
prisoner assumed his position, on bend
ed knees with arms tied behind and a
blindfold over the eyes. The rifle was
placed in the hands of a good marks
man. A sharp crack, and the white
spot marked for the heart was discol-
ored with the squirting blood caused
by the deadly bullet. Late this sum-
mer Watka went to Kansas City with a
baseball nine of his fellow reds and
played game at one of the parks. He
had ample opportunity to escape, but
returned to the territory of his own
accord that his sentence might be car
ried out.

The Nashville Exposition Came to an
End Saturday Night. ?
B Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The Ten
snessee Centennial exposition closed at
midnight Saturday, the event being
heralded by the ringing of the chimes
in the Auditorium, the blowing Of
whistles, the booming of cannon and
the sounding of horns in the hands Of
young and old. IT,
3, The total attendance at the exposi-
ton since the opening on the first day
of last May is estimated at 1,75O,OO0.
President Thomas. officially announced
Saturday night that the exposition will
pay out dollar for dollar, and this
promptly. The largest day of the ex-
position was President j. w. Thomas
day, October %. The attendance was
sl.493; this is nearly 10000 more than
the attendance at Atlanta on their red
letter day. The estimate of attendance
by the chief of the bureau of promotion
and publicity was 100000 and his
limit would have been surely reached
but for the senseless yellow fever scare.
Not q single casualty has occurred ut
the exposition during the six months
Of it's existence. The order maintained
at the exposition has been simply mag
nificent. s5 .. 8
