On the evening of Tuesday, August

Catholic University church, in ST. Ste
phen's green, Dublin. The burglars
must have entered the grounds attached
to Lord Iveagh's residence, in Stephens S
Green, and climbing to the roof Of the
sacristy attached to the church, smashed
the skylight, and in this way succeeded
in getting inside the sacred building
The thieves had forced open three
presses in the vestry, and took thence
four or five shillings. The key of the
safe in which the sacred altar vessels
we're kept was found in one of the
drawers in press. The safe had been
opened, and bottle of wine was taken.
The sacred vessels, however, were not
touched. The church was entered, and
donation box, estimated to contain a
few shillings was broken open and the
money taken. An attempt was also
made to break open the St. Vincent de
Paul collection box, and the box in the
chapel OF the Blessed Virgin, but the
efforts did not succeed.

LUTHERAN CHURCH NOTES.

Last Sunday Rev. SIS. Adams gave
his congregation a report of some of
the things seen and heard at the late
Synodical meeting, which was it's 53rd
annual session.
The Synod was held in DR.. w. H.
Singley's new church in Shelby, in
which there is beautiful memorial
window, put in by friends in the Belle
fontaine church.
The report of the various Secretaries
was truly inspiring.
Educ alton is on the advance, and our
colleges are raising the standard OF
their curriculum.
The work of foreign missionaries is
extending.
| The work in western Africa was re-
ported by Rev. Beck, the missionary in
that field. He says African fever is an
absolute necessity to save the lives oi
unacclimated white people, who be.
come so full of malaria that death soon
follows, unless it is thrown off by the
fever, which returns ever few weeks
until the person is acclimated.
The Lutherans have the only mission
among natives in west Africa, Others
are among negroes who were taker
| there from the United States.

ABSOLUTELY SAFE!
The Fast Train on the ID. & l.. N. VIII
Now Have the Right of Way.

The time card on the D. & L. n. r..
r. is laid up for repairs; and in order
to prevent accidents beyond the pos
sibility of doubt, the splendid possi-
bilities of the road will be brought out
by running train each way every day,
with the same locomotive. This will
prevent the locomotive from ever
running into itself, and will make ira
vel on the road absolutely safe. 1t will
also beat the interlocking switch sys-
qem and carry rail. No passengers
on this road will ever be in danger of
being run over by stepping off one train
in front of another. The block system
will be used only to block the wheels to
keep from running over cows. The COW
catcher will be dispensed with, as there
is no longer any fear of any COW being
scaught" on the track. None of the
trains will take water at Bellefontaine,
as the iron horse will be fed on watered
stock, which will be both meat and
drink for it.
The train will go west in the morn
ing, as it will run on sun time, and will
go back in the evening, to be ready to
run race with the sun the next day.
Passengers are prohibited from rid
ing on hand cars, or walking on the
track, without first having purchased
tickets.
Cut rates are allowed only to those
riding through the deep cut.
All cattle allowed to Craze on the
track must be dehorned, or the com
pany will collect damages off farmers
for all injury done by them to the train
No trains will be run on the 31st O.
November, as the President will re
quire the locomotive that day to draw
his salary.
Sleepers will be carried on all trains
but will not be walked up at their sta
tions.
! No stop over or step off tickets viii
be allowed between stations.

FATAL ACCIDENT,
Mrs Gebby Is Run Over and Has Her
Back Broken.

Believing that correct account of
the sad accident which occurred on
Middle Branch roadside between d. P.
Rogers house and barn, and which
resulted in the death of Mrs. Gebby, OF
Richland, would be interesting to your
readers, we will try to give it as it
occurred:
A the noon hour just as Mr.. and Mrs.
Rogers had seated themselves at the
dinner table, they heard the dog bark
ing and children screaming, and on
running out of the house they found
Mrs. Gebby lying lengthwise of the
wagon track in an unconscious condi-
tion. She was about feet in the rear
of the wagon load of apples. Her two
little grandchildren, daughters of Ran
kin Gebby were crying and saying the
"wagon ran over grandma and she is
killed. Just then Mr.. Kirk and son
came up in wagon, Mr.. Kirk having
seen the accident. Mrs. Gebby got out
the wagon to fix the harness, and was
on the wheel getting in when the horse
started, and she tipped over backward,
the hind wheel passing over her body.
She revived consciousness, said her
back was broken, and said her limbs
were dead, and was as helpless as an
infant, as she was being lifted.into an
arm chair, carried into the house and
laid into sitting posture on a bed or
OUNCE. Her sufferings were great in
the back of her neck aud shoulders.
DR.. Phillips was summoned immedi-
ately, and all that kind friends could
do, was done, but she gradually sank
away.
She told her friends, after returning
consciousness, that she could not ge'
well. She said to her grand son, Ma,
Smith, 81 will not get well, but I an
ready"
Calmly and peacefully she passed
away, at 4:00p. m, The stroke fell yer,
heavy on her children and grand chill
dren.
1t was evident from her condition
that the spinal cord was much injured
Undertaken Mclean came out fror
Belle Center, and took the body to tn
home of her daughter, Mrs. M. A
lSmith. The funeral will take place tC
day, Monday: from the residence of MI
Smith.

IMPORTANT FOOD LAW.
Heavy Penalties For Selling Articles
of Food Containing Unheal-
thy Ingredients.


The following was passed at the last
session of the Missouri Legislature,
taking effect August 20, 1899:
SEC. /. That it shall be unlawful for
any person or corporation doing bust
ness in the State to manufacture, sell
or offer to sell any article, compound or

Gle, compound or preparation there is
any arsenic. calomel, bismuth, ammo
MIA or alum.

violating the provisions of this act shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
shall, upon conviction, be fined not less

be paid into and become a part of the
funds of the county in which such fine
is collected.
The operation of this law will be
mainly against alum baking powders,
but the manufacture or sale of any ar
ticle of food or article intended to be
used in food which contains any OF the

healthful-from arsenic to alum-is alb
solutely prohibited.

REVIVAL EFFORTS
In all the Churches of BeIlefon-
taine This Winter.
To Follow the Week of Prayer and
Last Six Weeks.

There was a meeting of the pastors Of
the city churches Monday morning to
take into consideration the time and
conduct of special services in the various
churches. Anxiety and prayer for q
great religious awakening was the bur-
den of each pastor attending. The pres
ent general conditions throughout the
church were discussed and causes ad-
vanced for the small percentage of in
crease in membership during the past
year. While no church failed to report
advances in enrolled membership, the
relative gain was not what it should
have been.
The Spanish American war, the f.
nancial disasters of the past few years,
the general spirit of worldliness togeth-
er with the lax observance OF the Sab
bath day in many sections of the coun-
try. were advanced as causes in part for
the retarded movements of the forces of
the Kingdom. But the church was
never SO well equipped for service as at
present. Never was she better organ
lied for forcing the issue with the hosts
of unrighteousness. The devil is losing
his grip on this world. Moreover while
the wicked flee when no man pursueth
'they make great deal better time
when somebody is after them"
The feeling was shared by all that we
are upon the eve of great religious
awakening; that the lethargy and in.
activity of the past is to give place to an
united and individual effort that will
shake our country from shore to shore
It was decided to fall in line in this for
ward movement by observance Of the
week of prayer in union services in the
various churches and to ask the church
members to set aside the first six week.
of the new year for engagement il
religious work That so far as possibl,
the membership of the churches foreg'
special amusements during this season
that might conflict with the meetings
While there will be no effort at undu
excitement and while all present agreed
that a true revival is not gotten up bu
rather brought down, they felt that
general cooperation upon the part o
all must be conducive to graciou
enthusiasm resulting in the revival o
the saints and the salvation of man,
sinners

ZANESFIELD.
To Have a Branch Railroad, To the
New Cement Works.

We are informed that Columbus
parties were in Zanesfeld, Friday,
looking over the ground for right of
way to Mari City, for branch railroad
for a cement factory. We give the
news for what it is worth. The new
cement factory has been SO often
heralded, like the near approach of
the end of the world, that people no
longer get scared at the apparition.
But the Mad River valley would furn-
ish very convenient outlet for its
product, by the way of Zanesfeld, and
it would be an easy matter to construct
such road.
