Last Sunday was the Third

Christina church. The Rally
began last Thursday night.
Elder Wood, Of Shelbina,

delighted the audience with an
eXcellent enthusiastic address.

the Church Extension Board,
spoke on Ciurch Extension.
His address was timely and
clearly presented the great
ueed Of increasing the Offering

Kansas City, spoke Sunday
morning and evening. After
the Sunday naorning sermon the
pastor of the church stepped to
the fronl, offered short prayer,
and then asked the deaconS to

When the baskets returned they
contained nearly 500, the larg-
est Offering ever made by the
church. foC missions. Other

.las increased 300 per cent in
the last three years.
THE ch2rch last Sunday was
as happy as the pastor. who Il

Lord. Taking everything iat<
ConsGdc ration, it was one of th'
happiest and best days in td'
history of the church. y

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

For the first time since the
organization OF our z. Z. O.
Chapter (H) a star has been
plucked from onr galaxy and
placed in a finer cline. One
link of our golden chain has
been btokeu, but it unites us to
the shore beyond and we are
left to mourn tor Que departed
sister, Mrs. Minnie b. Sullivan,
who died April 25, 1899.
RESOLVED. That we bow in
loving submission to the viii! of
our Hearealy Father, who has
removed our sister from our
midst, for we know that He is
too wise to err and too kind to
needlessiy affiict and that we,
as a sisterhood, emulate her
virtues and follow IN her steps
as she followed Jesus,
RESOLVED, That we extend
our sincere sympathy to the be
reaved husband and family and
urge them to look beyond the
shores of time to reunion
where partiags never come ant
gooGbys are never said.
RESOLVED, That d copy o
these resolutions be sent to th'
bereaved husband and to he
father and mother, and tina
they be spread upon the record
of Chapter H. Also that cop,

A TREAT.
adjourned

For fancied iavors the La
dies of the Baptist church has
placed the DEMOCRAT under
lasting obligations. Tuesday
afternoon they sent to the office
a large, delicious chocolate
cake and 4 great big old,fash-
ioned pitcher full of iced
frappe. 1t would have done
the ladies almost as much good
to see the printers around the
laucheoa as it did the printers
themselves for they truly en-
ioyed the Offering. The lunch
con was delivered by two of the
sweetest Misses of the city
Misses Mildred Scott and Clara
Piersol.

BURLINGTON OFFICIALS.

The Burlington officials took
a run over the road Friday to
see its condition, also to sec
what could be done to advance
the interests of the road, towns
and cities along the line, They
seem to be willing to do any
thing within reason for the
people, but they do insist (and
they are right that their right
ot-way through this city shall
not be used as Il dump heap.
The officials want the rightof
way cleaned up and then they
want it and will keep it clean.
The people who live along the
line and whose business proper
ty abuts the r. r, ground ought
to have pride enough to keep
things as they should be. Then
the travelling public will have
better opinion of one of the
best towns in che State. While
in the city they ordered a good
crossing put in at the east line
of the city. They could easily
have declined to do so but they
have the interest of the city as
we'll as theirs at heart. Now
will you be good, now will you
clean up the dirt you have plac.
ed on their property. Wilhelm

THAT QUESTION,

Sometimes the easy way to
answer Il question is to ask one.
Do YOU think that Tom Jones,
Dick Brown or Harry Smith
would pay 81 for any article
that they might need in their
business when they could get
the same article for 81? Nit.
Do you thiuk for for Il single
instant that you as IA private or
public individual would spend
So of your money for anything
when 81 under the law would
pay for the article wanted or
the equivalent of that article?
Nit. Then why in the name OF
common sense should 4 County
Court pay full legal rates when
it could attain the same end for
ILLEGAL RATES?

American Beef Restrictions.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Consul Gen
eral Mason, at Berlin, has made a re-
port to the state department on Ger
many's latest restrictive measure
against the United States in decreeing
that fresh meat shall not be imported
from Belgium to Germany. Mr.. Mason
says it was at once evident that this
decree was in reality aimed at Ameri-
can beef and was casioned by Bel
GUMS recent removal of the restric-
tions ON American cattle. The consul
general says the decree is the logical
furtherance and fulflllment of policy
upon which the German government
entered in 1894. Mr.. Mason says it will
do American interests injury in Den
mark, which country was about to
admit American cattle. but hesitated
from fear that Germany would shut
out Denmark's fresh meats.
