be strange and startling on6to them.
But why? Are we not really 70 follow
him all the wayr What is II to be q
follower of Jesus? What does it mean
to initiate him! What does it mean to
walk in his steps?"
The Rev. Calvin Bruce, D. D., Of the
Nazareth Avenue church, Chicago, let
his pen fall ON the paper. He had come
to the parting of the ways, and his
question, he felt sure, was the question
of many and many man in the min
istry and in the church He went to his
window and opened it. He was op-
pressed with the weight of his convic-
tions and he felt almost suffocated with
the air of the room. He wanted to see
the stars and feel the breath of the
world
The night was very still The clock
in the First church was striking mid
night. AS it finished clear, strong
voice down in the direction of the Rec
tangle came floating up to him as If
borne ON radiant pinions:
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No! There's cross for every one,
And there's cross for me-
1t was the voice of one of Gray's old
converts, a night watchman at tho
packing houses, who sometimes solaced
his lonesome hours by verse or two
from some familiar hymn.
The Rev. Calvin Bruce turned away
from the window. and after a little
hesitation he kneeled down "What
would Jesus dor What would Jesus
do?" Never had he yielded himself SO
completely to the Spirits searching re-
vealing of Jesus He was on his knees q
long time. He retired and slept fitfully.
with many awakenings. He rose before
it was clear dawn and threw open his
window again. AS the light in the east
grew stronger he repeated to himself:
''What would Jesus dor What would
he do? Shall follow his steps2"
The sun rose and flooded the city
with its power When shall the dawr
Of new discipleship usher in the con-
ruering triumph of a closer walk with
Jesus2 When shall Christendom tread
more closely the path he madei
II is the way the Master trod
Shall not the servant tread II still?
With this question throbbing through
his whole being the Rev. Calvin Bruce
went back to Chicago. and the great
crisis of his Christian life in the min
istry suddenly broke irresistibly upon
him

.HEYWOOD'S CELEBRITIES.
Excellent Performance in
Every Respect.

The performance at the opera
house last night by the company
known as the Heywood's Celebri-
ties was the best ever presented to
Vinita people. The company con-
sists only Of true artists, in fact
they were entirely too fine for the
greater portion Of their audience.
The pianist, Miss Fleet Gillum,
is "a pianist" The singer, Miss
Ruth Lacimer, is "a vocalist. I"
The violinist, Miss Estella MeEi-
ca, is ga violinist"-she is grand.
Chas. Marvin and Maude Marvin,
in the beautiful society drama,
acted their parts as only factors"
can do. They were fine in drama
and fine in comedy.
Our only regret is that Vinita
did not give this choice little COM
pany the house they richly mer-
tied. and that those who could not
appreciate the music did not quiet
ly retire, or refrain from talking,
laughing and shutting their feet,
during the rendition of the differ
ent musical numbers. Because
they did not enjoy the music they
seemed determined that no one
else should.

BLOODY IN ST.LOUIS.
sHERITF's POSSE KILLS 4 STRIKERS
AND WOUNDS D.
MANY FIGHTS OCCURRED.
The Most Serious Trouble Took Place
Near sherin's Headquarters-Street Car
Zen Paraded. Carrying Cards Bearing
the Words "Union or Nothingi Liberty
or Deathv'

81. Louis, Especial. )-Sunday was one OF
the most eventful and bloody since the great
strike on the ST. Louis transit lines began,
more than month ago.
There were numerous encounters between
strikers and the constituted authorities, re-
sulting in three deaths and the wounding Of
four or more persons, mostly strikers. One
OF the latter will die.
The most serious trouble broke out be-
TWEEN and o'clock in front OF the six-
story building on Washington avenue, be-
tween broadway and Sixth street, occupied
w the sheriff's posse as barracks and head
quarters. Several hundred striking street
car men had gone to East st. Louis earlier
In the day to attend picnic given for their
benefit at VOLTS Grove. Toward evening
they began returning home. A crowd COM
posed OF nearly 150 street car men in uniform
and headed by drum corps came west on
Washington avenue. In their caps some Of
them had cards bearing these words:
Union or nothing; liberty or death.
The men we're marching along the side
walk on the south side OF Washington ave-
nue., opposite the barracks. They we're in
iocular mood, and as near as can be learned
had no intention OF making any trouble
Just rs they were passing the barracks a
car OF Park avenue division was going west
number of men broke from the line and
rushed for the car with the intention, II is
said, OF boarding It and taking ride An
other statement was made that II was the
intention OF the strikers to assault the motor
man md conductor, whose car was without
the usual police guard.
The trouble soon started. brick was
thrown through the car window and shot
was fred by somebody unknown.
At the fret intimation OF trouble members
OF the sheriff's posse swarmed from the
building and surrounded the crowd OF strik-
ers about the car, calling upon them to dis
perse. Other shots were fired, and then
some OF the deputies turned loose their re.
peatlng guns loaded with buckshot. AS far
as can be learned only four Of the men in the
strikers ranks were hit. Not deputy was
even wounded.
Under the command OF Colonel Cavende or.
the deputies arrested 20 Of the strikers and
took them to the barracks, where they were
searched. Three revolvers and a number Of
pocket knives were secured, and the prison
ers were taken to the Four Courts, where
they were locked up pending an inyesti-
cation.
