This the Belief Of the Christian

"There Is an absence Of power among
the people in the churches of today,

in God" said Rev. Elder II. \. Bouck,

"If the faith OF Christ was among
the people today. Christ's works would
be duplicated the speaker said. Rev.
Elder Bouch undertook to show that
Christ Himself did not perform mir
acies but that God performed them
through Him, ana that with proper
faith, those now on earth may exercise
that power.
The meeting was attended by IA men
and women. For the most part a lay
man would not have known from the

A special from Mt. Vernon states:
People of this city are keeping their
dogs and cats under cover to save
them from being slaughtered by run
away boys from New York, who have
left their homes to emulate Vice Presi'
dent-elect Roosevelt in slaughtering
animals. The boys are Joseph and
Louis Farara, and they were armed
with revolvers and razors. They said
their mania for killing dogs and cats
was created by reading stories concern
ing the terrible Teddy's prowess In the
field. The kids" were sent back
home, and such literature as "Dend,
Shot Dick" the boy Panther of the
Prairie" and Teddy, the Lion Killer
will hereafter be placed under lock

honest truth and the lesson it brings

the fourth season of its unwavering
success. Like "Shore Acres" the
oftener one sees 1t the oftener one
wants to see it again. 1t is refreshing
in this day of imported problem and
suggestive plays; to be able to listen
to an American play of plain common
folk with the blue haze of the Ozark
Mountains enveloping it; a play of
lilacs, yellow roses and clover; play
in which the pipe of the quail, the
mooing of the kline and the song of
the mocking birds are intermixed with
comedy, tragedy aud pathos. That II
will be greeted with an overHowine
house is foregone conclusion.

HOW FARMERS GOT CARS.
Solomon Agent Disobsyed Orders ant
Helped Them Out.

1t is related that q rather amusing
incident occurred at Solomon after
the railroads last year had issued
their order iorbidding agents to set
cars on the sidetracks fer the use Of
farmers in loading wheat unless the
wheat was on the ground ready to be
loaded. c. D. Skinner, the Rock
Island agent there, disobeyed orders
and gave the farmers As hours in
which to load the cars. In this way
he pulled most Of the local wheat
trade h is way, shipping 125 cars OF
wheat during the season.
The company did not say a word
until most of the wheat had been
shipped, then they gave their Local
agent fearful blowing up. He had
proved himself such good business
man however that they transferred
him this spring to Jefferson, Okla, o
station five times as large as the one
at Solomon.

McaRArH NOT so WARN.
Detective Lost Z Chance to Get Five
Dollars.

The Salina papers say that Detect
i've McGrath who was so mysterious
about the arrest Of young Freeman
was outdone by the Salina marshal.
McGrath found couple old clarion
cts at Freeman's boarding house here
and allowed that they we're very i'm
portant. Marshal Williams came
down and identified them without
McGrath's knowledge. The Union
says:
"It now appears that McGrath
knew all along who was the owner OF
the instruments, but refused to
divulge the name Of the owner until
he had secured s. as reward. He
is alleged to have given forth the i'm
preston at Abilene that the owner OF
the clarionets lived in Beloit, for the
express purpose Of concealing the
rightful owners name and residence.
"When McGrath was telephoned to
by DR.. AL Rothschild in regard to the
instruments he refused to tell where
they were, although be admitted that
he knew. Marshal Williams then
took hold of the case and without any
previous knowledge worked the prob
lem, which McGrath had enshrouded
in so much mystery, and McGrath
will not get his flyer.
"Sheriff Baker will retain The clarl-
onets until after Freeman's trial,
where they will probably be wanted
in evidence. 1t is rumored that Free
man is to be released on $3.50 bail
Monday, two wealthy uncles going
his security. In that event the gen.
eral impression is that he will jump
his bail and take to the brush"
