Starch worlxs Rurued.

DIES MONIES, Ia., Dec 6.--Fire was discovered early last night'in the plant of the National Starch Manufacturing company, in the southeast part of the city. The city fire department was summoned, but a lack of water pre- vented it from accomplishing much be- yond keeping the fire from spreading to adjoining property. The fire burn ed for several hours, and the plant was entirely destroyed, excepting the grain elevator and the engine house. The loss on the building and contents is es- timated at $200,0O0. The amount of in- surance is unknown, as such records are kept in New York. Several hun- dred employees, who were about to quit work for the day, escaped in safe- ty. The plant belonged to the starch manufacturing trust, which has its headquarters in New York city.

HUNGER DUTIES" DENOUNCED.
Herr Rebel Stfrs the Reichstag Iu
 Speech on Tarih.

Herr Rebel Sf1ES the Ae1CnSf0& 4G
 Speech on Tarim.
 BERLIN, Dec. G.-The most insignif cant looking man i'll the reichstag, Herr Rebel, broke its didaetie monotony yes. etrday and lifted the tariff debate te emotional levels. Herr Bebel spoke to the breathless galleries. He often pro voked his opponents, but sometimes he even enthralled them.
 The wagon maker is diminutive in body and has large head. Pulling al his pointed chin whlslzer, he took the tribune after the peasant farmer Herr Nissen. and as the representative ot 2,S00,000 voters he lodged the Socialist protest against the hunger duties" as he called the tariffs on grain. The man seemed to grow bodily as he warmed up to his work. He spoke. as always. with astonishing ease and rapidity of utterance His tuneful voice, instead of growing hoarser as the speech was prolonged, on the contrary grew more melodious.
 Herr Rebel said there were two na- tions in the German state, the plunder- CTS and the plundered. "The imperial chancellor, Count von Bulow, spoke for the former. I am speaking for the lat ter
 This bill is intended not for the bet terment of the farm laborer, but for the betterment of the landlords. If any landlord is not getting on we'll now ii is because of large hunting parties, gambling, well filled wine cellars, sons in crack cavalry regiments and town houses in Berlin.
 At this point of Herr Bebelis speech Graf von Kardorff, one of the greatest land magnates, laughed jeeringly.
 Yes" continued Herr Bebel, 'sthat is the way with you fellows. You lay taxes upon the poor, and when it is proved to you that they are unneces- sary you laugh. But the worlds his tory rolls on over you regardlessly."
 Later Graf yon Arnim. another great Agrarian leader, scornfuily interrupt ed Herr Rebel while the latter was re- latiE.g an incident of q Prussian school girl who wanted to go to heaven be- cause there was no hunger there. Herr Rebel. inspired by the telnpestuous scene which followed. then exclaimed: This bill foments insurrection. The chancellor aims to oyerturn social or der. We shall do our utmost to send this bill to hades. and we only regret we cannot send it's authors and abet- tors there also."

Family Caught In q RLizEard--Ez us-
 band Drew Sleigh For saues.
 GOSHEN, x. Y, Dec. 6.-Not in a long time will Elgin MaeLarin and his wife and children forget their terrible experience in the blizzard. All are bad ly frozen as q result of a sleigh ride in the mountains, where the husband. hitched 10 the sleigh, had to drag his family. The horse had fallen and bro- ken leg.
 The family started in the morning from southfeld to drive over the noun tains to HaEerstraw. all tucked snngly in one horse sleigh. At Little Long Pond MacLarin took the wrong road and hours later, instead of reaching Haverstraw, found himself at Parker Cabin hollow, q wild and desolate place.
 Darkness came on, and the biting wind piled the snow up in high drifts. The horse was fast losing it's strength. At last, struggling to founder out of a drift, it fell and broke it's leg.
 MacLarin called again and again for help. He cut the traces, rolled the horse aside and. hitching himself in it's place, started off. pulling the sleigh.
 Mile after mile he plowed through the darkness, suffering intensely. In the sleigh his wife and little ones, Ag- nes and Thomas, fared no better. Four miles of it, and MacLarin was ready to succumb. He had been four hours in the shafts. But along came Charles Carson just as MacLarin was ready to give up. A mile farther on was the farmhouse of John Cooper. and there Carson took them.
 The whole family were in sad plight. AIacLarin had both feet and hands frozen, and it was some time be fore the children and Mrs. MacLarin could be revived All are slowly reeov- ering.

PURE HELIUM.
Its Discovery Would Necessitate the
Expenditure of Much Money.

* Prof. Dewar, in a recent lecture be-
fore the Royal Institution, ex-
pressed his disappointment that the
experiments in the laboratory Of the
institution had failed to produce pure
helium. He said that he longed to
find a rich man generous enough to
supply funds necessary for the dis
coyery Of pure holium: the expendi-
ture would be very great. 1t is said
that his discovery would enable the

WORLDS TO CONQUER.
Southern Cotton Manufacturers Have q
Big Field Ahead.

the last year but for the extremely
high price of cotton. Yet when the
exports Of cotton goods by the United
Kingdom for the year 1900 and pre-
eeding years are examined it be-
comes quite apparent that there is
stili large eFPefssit ava; ~; :. :.
people who can plant the factory be-
side the cotton field and operate it
with cheaper coal, better machinery
and more skillful and effective labor
than that Of the nation which trans
ports its cotton many thousand miles,
brings its coal from thousands Of feet
below the surface and yet distributes
more than 5,00O,00o,0oO Yards ofcot-
ton goods to the world every wear.
The Accounts Relating 20 the
Trade and Navigation Of the United
Kingdom for the year 1902 which
has just been received by the treasury
bureau of statistics, shows the expor-
tation Of cotton cloth from the Unit
ed Kingdom to the various parts of
the world for the years 1898, 1899 and
1900. 1t shows that the total expor-
tation Of cotton piece goods of all
kinds in 1900 was 5,034,25O,600
yards, or about 20 times our own ex-
ports for the year, despite the fact
that four-ffths of the raw cotton from
which it was made was produced in
the United States The total impor-
tations of raw cotton into the United
Kingdom in 1900 were 15,736,172
hundredweights, of which 2,190, ,169
hundredweights were from the Unit
ed States, 2,fS9,i22 from Egypt,
99922,79fG 99922 from indiu. 2i0,i ,i62 from
Brazil, and l40,O4l hundreweights
from other countries. The total value
OF the cotton imports into the United
Kingdom IN 1900 was e41,021,191. or
S199, 9,659,000, and the total value Of
cotton manufactures exported from
the United Kingdom in that yearwa
e62, ,032,313, or S3OO,OO0,OOO.
True, the United Kingdom has not
materially increased her expectations
Of cotton goods in the decade during
which the United States has more
than doubled her exports in that line;
yet she has steadily and sturdily held
her own in the markets of the world
against the aggressions of other coun-
tries. The exports Of cotton piece
goods from the United Kingdom in
1896 were 5,iS4, 500 900 yards, and in
1900, as already stated, 5,O34,25O,00
yards Germany's exports of cotton
manufactures, which are stated in her
official publications in kilogrammes.
and not in yards, increased from 28,-
285, 400 kilogrammcs in 1890 to 81
10000 kilogrammes in 1900. From
france the exports of cotton manu-
factures in 1890 were 17,2S6.OOO
kilos, and in 1899. 32.003.OOO kilos
Thus, while the United States has
shown greater percentage Of growth
in her exports Of cotton manufac-
lures than that of any other nation
during the decade, the fact that Eu-
rope, although buying most of its
cotton from the United States. ex-
ported in 1900 more than 100000
600 worth of cotton manufactures
while our own manufacturers were
exporting about S21,OOO,OOO worth.
suggests great future possibilities for
a people for whom nature has done
so much in her supply of the raw
cotton and Of all the requirements for
its manufacture.

RELIGION VERSUS THE FEOD.
DR. Talks Interestingly Kentucky
By Passis Fenton ottley in Atlanta tca) Journal)


sixty miles long, without a church
"Among others came old Uncle
Nym Macintosh, the oldest mar
in that settlement, and asked thai
he-and his wife, Nancy, might b.
baptized that day. Ideclined, say
ing that they must wait until the
end of the meeting.
"The old man drew up his gigan-
tic height aud said:
That's all right, Doc, for these
young folks that's got time, but
me and Nancy never has had the
chance to be baptized before. We
live way over beyond the Quicksandi
and if it comes on to rain and that
there river swells us old folks can't
get back. You won't let us lose
our last chance, Doc?'
1T is needless to say l baptized
the old couple. There is a church
now on the Quicksand where the
tent stood that day, a church that
holds two prayer-meetings a week.
In that old church old Uncle Nym
Macintosh is an elder.
"That day when he was baptized
his son, Dan Macintosh, who had
been a wild fellow, was converted.
He walks today through those
mountains as a missionary. The
last time / saw him he and his wife
had walked fourteen miles, barefoot
ed, to service. There is no place
in the world, my friend" said DR..
Guerrant, ~where the oldi gospel
religion is more desired and more
appreciated than in those Kentucky
mountains, 100 miles from the Blue
grass. We need help to take it to
them
Dr. Guerrant served these people
for years as the evangelist of the
Synod OF kentucky. His health
failed and he was compelled to live
a quieter life He now fills a
church at Wilmore, Ky, but has
gone out from time to time to con-
duct services, such as those he is
conducting in Atlanta, all over the
United States. A peculiar vitality
of manner accompanied by great
earnestness and a wonderful gift
of speech makes him a powerful
man in the pulpit, and his meetings
are always productive Of results
With all this outside work, DR.,
Guerrant's heart always turns to
his Kentucky mountains and their
people. The work he is doing for
them now is under the head of the
Soul Winners Society, of which he
is President. TINS society is un-
sectarian and undenominational,
and is supported by free win offer
ings alone. 1t now numbers 500
individual Christians from twenty
different States and .of every de-
nomination.
The work lies in the effort to
take the gospel to the two million
and a half people of our own blood
who are scattered through the
mountain regions east of the Mis-
sissippi.
Tens of thousands of them never
saw a church or heard a gospel they
could understand.
Following Christ's admonition to
'begin at Jerusalem" this society
of soul winners believes that here
among the mighty SUBMITS of the
Blue Ridge, the Allegheny and the
Cumberland lies our Jerusalem.
These people for whom they strive
are Americans, Virginians, Ken
tuckians, Tennesseeans and North
Carolinians, the children of the
hills, our neighbors, our kith and
kin. No work could be nobler than
this which strives to save and up
lift them.
