The "Megiddo,


One of the queerest craft that evei
hoated on the Mississippi River
has left Minneapolis for New Or
leans. There are a hundred OF
more people on the boat, who call
themselves "Christian Brethren,
and they teach "All things in this
world will be changed, and the mil
lennium will begin in 1945. The
boat, which is named 'Megiddo, =
which according to one of the mem
bers of the company, means 1.-The
Lord is in this place with an army,
was built through the efforts of the
founder of this new religious sect.
When the weather will permit,
meetings will be neld in a big tent
at the towns along the river, and
when the weather is inclement serv-
ices will be held on the boat. The
boat is well provided with music,
there being on board full cornet
band, two organs, piano and a
choir of 100 trained voices.
The new sect say: I'VE believe
that everything in the world will
undergo complete transformation
forty years from now. The world
is drifting into inhdelity, and we
wish to warn it Of its danger. We
believe we can best do this, and at
the same time help one another to
lead holy lives, by travelling about
in boat, where we will be, in a
large measure, separated from the
evil influences of the world, out
where we can at the same time
reach many people through the

Mrs. W. L. Alexander

Mrs. w. L. Alexander, mother d
Maj. w. L. Alexander, Jr, Of this
city, passed away from the scenes
of time last Monday, December 2
at the old homestead eight miles
north of Union City. This remark
able woman was nearly eighty
years of age. She was born Janu.
AIRY 9, 1922. IN Sumner County, near
Hartsville. When about the age oil
eighteen years Miss Mary A. Rick
man was united i'll marriage to
William l.. Alexander at her Mid
die Tennessee home. and in 1852
they came west to this country, To-
eating and building a home near
the present site of Jordan station.
There they lived continuously, ex-
cepting about two years in Union
city. Every one acquainted with
the family knows of the pleasant,
genial manner characteristic of
them all, and in the days when
the country was sparsely settled
and taverns far apart, this Hospital
Bile home was we'll known by trav-
elers and neighbors, who always
found a generous, cordial welcome
in entering upon its domain.
Such was the life of these good
people it is no wonder they had
many friends, and such was the
home of this tender-spirited wife
and mother it is not strange that
kindness filled the hearts of their
children.
Mrs. Alexander professed relig-
ion and joined the G. p. Church in
Middle Tennessee when quite
young, but owing to the surround
ings and the pressure OF domestic
cares never renewed her member
ship here. However, her life was
that of pure Christian, and when
the end was near she spoke of the
presence of the Savior and his mes
sage Of peace.
In this family there were ten
children, six of whom are dead.
Those who remain are Miss Mar
garet H., w L., Jr., Mrs. W. II.
Shuck, and David r. The latter

If you have not read the book
"Thelma" | advise you to do so at
once, for there will be production
of same, at Walkers Opera-house
on next Monday night, Dec. 9, 1901.
This novel has been dramatized by
Mr.. Chas. w. Chase, and he has
succeeded in making a play from
the same which will live for many
years. Every interesting point in
the novel will be produced in the
drama, and the same requires car
load of scenery for successful pro-
duction. No ordinary actor or
actress could successfully produce
the characters in this drama, so
Mr.. Benedict has selected COM
pany of the best acting people he
could find All these ladies and
gentlemen have been before the pub
lie for years and in some of the
best and largest productions.

Washington. Sept 1s.-Dr. w. A.

ter from Senator Wellington of Mary
land. in which the senator says he gave
no interview TO the newspapers expressing
indifference to the shooting of President
Mckinley, but refused again and again
to say anything for publication, for the
reason that Mckinley had done me such
injury as I could necer forgive, and
felt that it would be better to say nothing
at this time"
He adds: AS to the crime of Czolgosz,
hardly think it necessary to say that I,
like yourself. abhor an assassin. and am
as much appalled, at the crime which
struck down President Mckinley as any
one Of his warmest friends. I do not
think that any one who knows me would
for moment believe that I would look
with indifference upon an act of this kind.
