pastor OF the little Congregational
church in Denverside, no; far from East
st. Louis, on the Illinois side OF the riv>

The Rev. Kellogg was formerly pastor

was ordered to turn it over and go else
where. The Congregationalists bought
the church and he was made its perma.

He wanted a parsonage. The congre-
cation was too poor to build him one.
He said he would build it himself with
what help he could get from the congre,
cation and Others.
Last Monday a week ago A. C. Palmer.
an officer OF the carpenters union. de-
manded that non-union men be dis.
charged and union men taken in their
places.
Il have no objection to employing un,
ion men," said Rev. Kellogg. but l will

ed by a gang Of seven men, who COM
PEELED him to discontinue work for the
time being. He secured a shotgun and
hereafter he will take it to the building
and keep it handy for instant use, should
his assailants make another attack on
him. These facts became public toda,
when Rev. Kellogg went to East St.
Louis and applied for warrants.
