Baptist Church of Monroe City,
Mo-. as Pastor. and did also, on
that date, publicly renounce his
adherence and allegiance to said
Church, in the presence and
bearing Of those present, at a
meeting thereof; and the said
Church then and there, passed a
resolution declaring the pastor
ate vacant, because of his
(Riffe's) said act and so notified
the said Rife by duly appoint.
ed committee, that his relations
with said Church were terminal

WHEREAS, the sald Church
had authorized the said j. H.
Rife to solicit and collect sub

of said Church and
WHEREAS, the said Rife is ne

To Our Sister Churches and
The Public.

AS various reports nave gone
forth in regard to our Church
trouble and numerous articles
have been published which are
misleading, we take this
method of informing you of the
facts, as gathered from the
church minutes and other
sources which eliminated in
the secession movement and
that modern card playing and
dancing had nothing to do with
whatever.
August 3oth. '99, at a called
meeting of the church to take
the sense of the members, as
to whether these amusem ents
were right or wrong, a motion
was made and seconded, that
we have nothing further to do
with the question. The motion
was lost aud a vote taken, de-
claring modern dancing and
card playing were wrong, by
a vote of IS to 5. A resolution
was offered by j. M. Proctor,
which was declared out of order.
A resolution was offered by DR..
Norton looking to the settle
ment of our difficulties; said
resolution having been agreed
upon by the Board of Deacons
and the Pastor; During the
pendency of the question, the
Pastor, j. H. Rife, left the
chair twice to make speeches
against it, as he had changed
his mind upon the resolution.
This resolution was lost.

REMOVED A COCKLE BURR.

DR.. A. w. Ely's surgical SER
vices were needed near Centre
Friday. Miss Iva McMannus
met with a very peculiar Sacci-
dent. In some manner cockle
burr became attached to her
glove and in the effort to de-
tach it with her teeth it was
sucked into the trachea (wiud
pipe) and lodged near the lungs.
The doctor performed the surg.
ical operation known as Laryn-
gotomy, that is, opened the
wind pipe and extracted the
burr from the lacerated trachea
where it had lodged, and left
the patient doing nicely.

WANT NEWSPAPER TRANSPOR
TATION.

lAl lON.
The DEMOCRAT is in receipt |
of a folder, marked with rub
ber stamp: Strictly Contiden-
tial, giving the price a Kansas
City Scalper pays for newspa-
per transportation for the year
1900. To us this is evidence
that some newspaper men sell
their transportation, although
in their contracts with the vari-
Gus railroad companies they
agree not to do this. 1t is true
the newspaper man gives full
value for every mile of trans.
portation he receives and many
times more than pays for it,
yet that does not give him any
right to sell or give to any per.
son who is not connected with
the office any transportation
when he contracts not to do so.
He should live up to this con.
tract. If he thinks the railroad
comp any gets the best of the
contract it is his privilege not
to make the contract but when
once made he should honestly
fill his part Of it. If the news.
paper man cannot use all the
transportation named in the
contract let him make a con
tract for fewer miles and dc
less for the railroad. Many
people who do not understand
the nature of the contract {
. publisher makes with the rail
road company think the pub
Usher can and should occasion
ally give them a ticket. The,
E would not ask the publisher L
4 break his contract if they knew
it. 1t Is nothing unusual for u
to be asked for transportation
Permit us to say here that We
:. have no transportation for sal,
