tives were present. Mr. and Mrs.

A large audience greeted the speaker
at the Baptist church last night, not
withstanding the sharp weather. Rev.
Spears singing was superb and pleased
everyone. His voice is remarkably
clear and silvery aud the way he sang
the gospel was delight to hear. The
interest in the meetings is very crafty
ing and they will be continued through
the week
The Northwestern railroad has
double line from Chicago to Toledo and
this season will complete it from Toledo
to Omaha distance of three hundred
miles. This means that sometime in
the not distant future that the double
track will be pushed west to this place.
Railroad traffic, both freight and pas.
senger is very rapidly increasing in this
portion of the west and the great lines
are compelled to provide for it by in
creasing there facilities for handling it.
Yesterday was happy day at the Sec

day morning two persons were admitted
, to the church on confession, and at the
, meeting of the young peoples society in
the afternoon 12 new members were re-
ceived into it. Though not yet month
old this society has already member

has raised more than $4,000 during the

# One day last week while he was waiting
I. on customer and drawing some vine
gar from the barrel there was big com
motion in front of the store. A team
g dashed by driverless and everybody was
crowding to the front to get sight OF
the approaching suash-up. But the
- wreck didn't occur. The grocer pos
v sessed of the spirit of the occasion rushed
II out among the rest. 1t was quite dis
appointment but when he wended his
'f way back to his task he found the floor
ID flooded with vinegar which he had left
III running Even his own visage became
somewhat soured. He found the barre
er empty and he expressed himself in Ian
" guage not used in polite society. He
to still thinks that was the biggest run
away-of vinegar-that there has beer
ST in the town for some time.
