The Cyclone" Preached to . Large
Audience Last Night.

AAO 0yC4OAAC GCkACx4O0 ~ - dAes4 3
Audience Last Night.
The Sixth street Methodist Church
was crowded last night with those who
wished to see and hear Evangelist
Weber.
He held their attention and kept them
in good humor by his style. Under his
leadership they sang Happy on the
Way over and over, he clapping his
hands in time. He said he liked to
make them happy He wanted to- make
them happy for half hour and drive
away the blues and before he got
through he would make them happier.
He then induced those on one side of
the gallery to repeat the song, and
then said, "There are very few happy
people on that side, let's try the other,
which was done and turning to the
choir he said, "Oh, say! that was pretty
good, wasn't it? God bless you, boys.
am glad to see you here and glad to
see more men than women. This time
let all sing Then he took the mid
die of the church, with all the au-
dience for chorus.
Come right up here said he to
some late arrivals. 81 suggest to you in
the seats that you pack up close like
sardines in box. That fellow won't
hurt you, Miss. I'll take care of you.
Now sing Wen Never Say Good By
1t was sung and with dramatic gest
ures and outstretched hands he said,
Wont it be nice to get to sucn a
place as that? You don't have to kiss
the baby good by. You don't have to
say good by to the good old father and
mother. / am going to get you fellows
there"
With such remarks he interspersed
the singing and his discourse, and held
the attention Of his audience while he
appealed to them to come out and ac-
cept salvation. He will doubtless nave
large audiences on this and succeeding
nights.

A VICIOUS VISITOR.
He Tackles Chief Dwyer and Sleeps
in a Prison Cell.

About 10 o'clock last night man
who gave his name as J. w. Phillip
was arrested by Chief of Police Dwyer
in front of Turner Hall.
He had just arrived from Stockton,
having driven a nice looking young
horse and buggy and as his clothes
showed that he had been thrown in the
mud, Chief Dwyer accosted him and
asked if he could be of assistance to
him. The fellow, who was drunk, re-
piled with foul remark and asked who
his questioner was and was informed.
He became abusive and asked to see
his badge of authority and when Chief
Dwyer showed it, made a grab at his
watch chain, breaking it into several
pieces and with the other hand grabbed
his necktie, tearing it up Chief
Dwyer placed him under arrest and
he fought viciously, catching the.
Chiefs thumb in his mouth and leav5
ing the prints of his teeth upon it. He
was soon overpowered and taken to the
station, where he will have to answer
for his conduct this morning.

Boy Fatally Injured.

SPRINGFIELD Mo-, Nov. 22.-
James Dubuque, II years old, was
fatally injured while engaged in Il
game of 'blackman' at one of the
ward schools in this city to-day.
The accident is similar to the
case of John Allen, who was killed
in a game of foot ball in st. Louis
During the rush young Dubuque
was run over by crowd of boys
and all piled up in a heap. When
the crowd of Young players got ny
they noticed that Dubuque did not
move. He was carried into the
house and a physician called, who
found that he had sustained con-
cussion Of the brain and pronounce

POynter's Explanation.

LINCOLN, NEB., Noy. 23.-In
reply to request from an Eastern
newspaper as to whether he meant
in his Thanksgiving proclamation
to invoke divine aid to prevent the
United States from embracing i'm
perialism, Governor Poynter
wired to-day that he did advise the
people of Nebraska to pray for re-
lief from the lust to power that
has seized upon the advocates of a
colonial policy and a large stand
ing army.
He saws that he believes the ex-
pressed determination to subjugate
the Filipinos first and treat with
them afterwards is the sure mark
of the policy Of an empire and moi
that of n republic.
He added that he believed that in
the midst of Thanksgiving for past
blessings it would be meet TO pray
to the God of Nations TO save this
one, founded on principles for the
establishment of which he gave
our fathers aid, from the rocks il
is plunging upon.

l am not sick of my job SO far
We get enough to eat-all but two
days. During that time we only
got half enough to eat. The cap
tain heard about it, and he or the
lieutenant comes down to the kitch
en- every day to see that we gel
enough. Our auartermaster ant
cooks began to cheat us; that wha
was wrong. But things are al
right now.
l like our officers the best kind
They don't care whether yot
salute them or not when you pas
them.
! am going to have on ahould
er straps before | return.
1t is now near sundown and W
all have to get out and stand a
parade rest while the bands play
The Star Spangled Banner. :"
Yours truly,
| ERNEST Koch.
