JESUS CHRIST AS IT'S KING,
A Nation Must Recognize, SO Rev. DR..
George Declared, at Reform
Convention.

Pittsburg, Nov 22.-At the ma
tionaI reform convention an address
was made by the Kev. DR.. II. Ii.
George, neld secretary of the National
Reform association.
The speaker held that the nation
could not expect to prosper until 1t
recognized Jesus Christ as Its king
He came out frankly and declared
that the objective point IN the aim OF
this association is TO secure an amend.
ment To the constitution OF the United
States acknowledging Almighty God
as the source of all power and author.
ity and Jesus Christ as the Ruler of
the nation and the Bible as the SUI
preme authority in legislature. The
purpose OF this amendment Is to
change the basis of legislation from
that which is secular, in form at
least. TO distinctly Christian basis.
We need a Christian amendment TO
lay the basis for the unfolding of a
Christian civilization.
The speaker further said in
part. More than 40 state legis-
iatures have made laws upon the sub
ject of divorce which mostly estab-
lish legaiized adultery. Ii Almighty
God We're recognized in the United
States constitution this would be
stopped.
IL also would stop the liquor traf-
fic. AS things are the government
makes a contract with the powers Of
death to take down 100000 bodies
each year. 1t is a covenant made with
death. signed and sealed, to hide In It's
charnel house the graves of LOG, 900
human beings annually. AS there Is
part OF every man you cannot cover
in the grave, another step is taken,
and that is an agreement with hell 20
take into its charge the souls of so
many dead bodies. We owe 1t to
Jesus Christ to acknowledge Him as
the Ruler of this nation. The glory
and power and influence that such a
Christian acknowledgement by this
nation would give it among all the ma
lions OF the earth would be absolutely
incalculable."

PREPS WIN HANDILY.
Normal Lads Failed to Get
Dangerous Except Once.

Score Made BIZ Visitors Don't Look

ball but Ii is Ailowed-Varsity and
Marietta Tomorrow Other Games
Arranged.
Well the same old story was re-
peated when Fairmont came down
on Thursday afternoon They did
manage to score however and rather
than stand on the exact justice of
the thing they were allowed to have
the score. The Props beat the Nor
mails in two short halves 81 to 5.
The score could have been ma de
larger if it hadn't gotten dark.
There was also much tumbling and
foolishness of this kind to prevent
higher score. At no time did the
Normal lads appear dangerous and
the Props gained on them a. will.
The contest was exciting though
and the big crowd Of spectators en-
joyed it very much.
Fairmont scored in the first half
after they had plainly lost the game.
They massed on the line and the re.
fierce blew his whistle. At this the
Props stopped playing and the man
with the ball got out of the bench
going over Tor touchdown. There
was long wrangle which ended by
the Props allowing the score.
On Saturday afternoon Marietta
will be here The game will be the
most important of the year and it
will be witnessed by the largest
crowd of the season. There is much
local interest in it, The Varsity
will win that much being conceded
but it won't have any walk over. The
visitors are playing great game
and their defeats are few and far be-
tween this year.
The rooters will be out in force
and more colors will be shown, more
songs sung and yells whooped than
have been in evidence at any game
for long time. The affair will be
made regular rip shorting old fash

During the past summer various
stories have been afloat as TO strange
animal which has been making night
hideous 10 the country above Morgan
town on both sides of the river.
Many stories without Foundation
were undoubtedly told in regard to
the antics of the strange visitor but
others which bore the stamp of truth
were also related.
Below is given the contents Of a
letter received this morning from two
well known residents Of Little Falls
whose words are worth one hundred
cents on the dollar if not more. The
animal which has been killed possibly
is the one which has been raising the
row and rumpus out in the red brush:
Sol. Frum can now come to town
and stay as late as he pleases without
being scared into Ats on the journey
home by uncanny noises. 1t has been
many years since wild cat was
found in this country and the occur
renee is a most unusual one. The
letter referred to is as foil ows:

Round Bottom along the B. Il O..
railroad was making his morning
round TO his many rabbit traps set in
different places be was dumbfounded
at finding huge wild cat under one
of the dead falls. At first the young
man feared to release the animal but
courage came at last and he found the
wild cat dead.
1t weighed twenty one and three
quarter pounds and measured four
feet three inches in length From
appearance it looked as it may have
been one of Noah's animals in the
ark We have often heard Of wild
cats in this vicinity but until now it
has been declared a fake. This ami
NAL had large paws and had stripes
similar to tiger and would make any
young man feel lonesome if he met

on exhibition at Little Falls a few
DAYS only and then shipped to a taxi

mounted. Any doubt as to the alb owe
