The meetings have been in prog
ress since last Tuesday evening under
the direction of DR.. S. c. Dickey of
Winona, Ind. We are indeed for
tunate and blessed to have such an
earnest, consecrated and intellectual
man of God to hold our annual re-
vlval.
The meetings have been we'll at.
tended from the beginning. The
first sermons were directed especially
to the protesting christians-and the
main point brought out by DR.. Dick
ey was that every christian has a re-
sponsibllity resting upon himself that
no one else can discharge. Every
worker was impressed with the fact
that he had duty to perform in
dong personal work.
Another great work DR.. Dickey
has accomdalished is the spiritual
quickening and uplift that luke warm
and Indifferent christians have re-
ceived.
On Sunday evening there was one
of the best Confessional Meetings that
has occurred in our college for many
years. More than one hundred
christians made earnest confessions
of lack in the performance Of christian
duty and firm resolve, by Gods
strength, to do better. Such meet
ing adds much to the spiritual uplif,
in our college.
Some very pointed and impressive
sermons have been directed to the un-
saved. Many have expressed their
interest by asking for prayers and a
good number have been hopefully
converted.
Inquiry meetings were held every
evening this week in which some
heart searching work was accomplish

afternoon was undoubtedly the bes
of the year. The subject was one es
pecially suited to service in connec
ton with the revival services, viz.
"Spirtual Persistency." The meet

propriate remarks. Then almost ev

Is Assured to the Steel Rail
Mills For Next Year.

Pittsburg, Oct. 25.-The American
Manufacturer. in its issue tomorrow.
will say: 1t is understood that the
mills making steel rails combined and
notified the railroad interests of the
country that prices would be advanced
and that the railroads could cover all
their wants at $33 per ton. Nearly ev-
cry railroad in the country came in
with orders and an aggregate of 1,500,
600 tons of rails were ordered at the
above price for delivery in 1900 The
price was then raised by rail makers as
follows:
For standard sections, in lots from
100 to 2G0 tons. $37; carload lots, $38 and
less than carload lots $40. Light rails
from % to so pounds per yard S37 per
ton All the prices quoted are f. o. b.
Pittsburg mills.
The Importance of this can scarcely
be realized. The total sales aggregate
about $50, 900 900. This means that about
one-sixth of the total steel output for
1900 will be consumed in the manufac-
ture of rails. This does not include the
orders placed by the Russian govern
ment some time ago together with other
orders which will make the aggregate
tonnage in rails next year much more
than has already been ordered. This
fixes it beyond all peradventUre that
prices of iron and steel for 1900 will be
considerably higher than prevailing fig
ureS.

For the Government to Deal

AND 1T WAS CHOSEN
Strong Endorsement Of the Ad-
ministratiOn's Policy
In an Address Before Episcopal
Missionary Council.
AND 1T WAS CHOSEN

St. Louis. Oct. 25.-Bishop Doane OF
Albany, n. Y, in his address before the
Protestant Episcopal Missionary coun-
ell now in session here, came out
squarely in support of the policy OF the
administration in taking the Philip
pines under national protection he
said:
To my mind there were but four un-
alterable alternatives. We were obllg-
ed either to leave the islands under
Spanish control, for a renewal OF nos
tilities; we were obliged to leave them
to destroy themselves in internecene
strife; we could have left them to be
fought over by European nations; or
we could have assumed the position OF
protectors of the islands. I see no other
conclusion, and the fourth alternative
was the only one which ought TO nave nave
been taken. We did take it and this
great trust must be administered.
Missionaries from Cuba and Porto
Rico presented the needs of the people
of those islands and after some discus
sion it was decided to send a bishop to
the latter island.

Created In Russian Official and
Naval Circles
BY Discovery of GiganticFrauds
ON the Government.

Odessa, Oct. 25.-A gigantic system
of official fraud and corruption has
been unearthed at SebastopoI. Forty
three government officials have been
arrested and will be tried by court mar
tial December 2. Among the accused
are many high naval officers, including
the former senior porte officer, Com
mander Reitsky, several well known
constructors, nearly every chief engi-
neer Of the ships in Russia's Black sea
fleet, the cOmmissary officers and 9TH
ers- 1t is reported that several of the
accused have committed suicide rather
than stand trial, for If found guilty
they would be banished to Siberia.
Rear Admiral TyrtOff. the Russian ma
val commander in the Black sea is re-
sponsible for the arrests. He alleges
that the officials of the various govern
ment departments from SebastopoI to
NikOlaiev, have for a long time been
engaged in a huge conspiracy to mis-
appropriate funds and sell government
supplies, covering their defalcations by
forgery and suppressing information
by widely distributed bribes. The af-
fair has created the greatest consterna-
ton.

FORCED OUT OF THE ARMY
Capt. Burton Resigned to Escape
Charges of Cowardice.

San Francisco. Cal, Oct. 25.-Capt. A. F.
Burton of company B, Iowa volunteers,
was relieved from the command of his
company for several weeks soon after the
capture of Calumpit last May. Charges by
Burton's fellow officers, resulting in his
resignation, were made after the first en-
gagement in which the Iowa volunteers
participated. The charges, which were
signed by all officers of BurtOn'S company
alleged that the captain displayed gross
cOWardice on the firing line. The com
muuicatiOn. which was addressed to Lieu
tenant Colonel Miller, who was then in
command of the regiment, recited that at
an engagement preceding the capture of
CaIumpit, Captain Burton did not lead it,
and according to the report, was found
hiding in ditch after the firing ceased
Lieut. Col Miller admitted that charges
had been preferred against Burton.
''I am veEy lOath to discuss this matter
the honor of a regiment and the 5lst is
entitled to much credit for its action in
the islands.
After the battle of Calumpit officers of
company B filed a communication with
against Captain Burton. After an inves-
tigatiOn. I decided that the best thing to
do to quiet the whole affair was to get
Burton to resign and leave the company.
He agreed to do this when the charges of
his company were shown him, and for
Warded his resignation. The war depart
ment did not accept it Immediately, how
ever, and Burton was compelled to remain
away on sick leave

OVER SIOO.OOO.
County Has Plenty of Cash to It's
Credit.

After three weeks suspension, the
county treasurer's Office is again open
and doing business at the old stand.
For the past 20 days the county treas
urer, with County, Auditor Pagan and
County Clerk Wright, have been check
ing up the books of County Treasurer
Phillips and making the annual settle
ment.
This IS an immense job, but as the
books were all in excellent condition it
was accomplished more easily than it
would otherwise have been. The tax
roll each year is charged up against the
county treasurer. Then there are addi-
tional taxes which are figured out after
the rolls are made up, county redemp-
tions and assignments, all of which are
also charged to the county treasurer.
To offset these he is given credit for
uncOIected taxes. county sales and en-
dorSements. Then he has to show up
assets enough to cover the balance.
All of these items have to be checked
over one by one, covering a years busi-
ness, so that 1t is no small task While
this is going on the office of the treas
urer is closed and no business is trans
acted. This work was completed at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and the Of
flee is now open again.
At the time the settlement was COM
pleted the books show that the county
has on hand $106 623. 81.
