MAYOR BIDS THEM DEFIANCE
Declines To BE Forced Out or onice by
CounciImen.


Logansport. Ind. May 24.-The city
council will not be rid of Mayor Nc
Kee without a struggle. The demand
for his resignation has been met with
defiance. and when the city council
cut McKee's salary from $l.2OO to 1910
,he showed not the slightest disposition
to be forced ont. Since the fight be-
gan Mayor Mckee has been attending
strictly to business, and not n COM
plaint can be made against his habits.
His conduct is exemplary, and the citi-
zens generally favor giving him an
other chance TO uphold the dignity of
his office.
Whether any further action will be
taken or not has not been announced.
The situation has plainly disclosed one
thing. however. and that is that Nc
Kee will not be nominated for Il third
term by the Republican party. 1t is
intimated that his friends will en-
deavor to induce him TO run on an in
dependent ticket. There is no question
of McKee's popularity as mayor. His
administration has been acceptable to
everybody, save his occasional lapSes.

lieves the confession OF faith is a per-

Lucrative and constitutive body, not
bound by the presbytery returns. The
returns in this case present n hopeless
future for any specific plan. As for
the poor pope OF Rome being anti
Christ. | admit that il is not the prop

ing up such subjects is picking flies off
the great pillar of the confession.
do you imagine for n moment you
are going to stop the aspersions of the
world against CalvanismI Not for
one moment. When the Westminster
divines tried to remove these asper-
sions they built up more highly ar
ticulated statement of the doctrine.
which is just the opposite of what our
brethren want us TO do
The great question came before the
assembly with the reading OF the re-
port of the committee on revision by

This was followed by the minority re-

n substitute motion to adopt the ma

offered substituting the minority.

that he was going to break off his rela-

He also told her so, and she went to
his room in the middle of the night
and murdered him. The story she tells
about having taken the revolver out
of his hand is all nonsense. He was
an all-around athlete, a fine runner

could diSarm him? She is a French
