caught mapping.
All in all. the situation, SO far as
could be judged in this city at noon,
has but little changed during the past
few days except that there are more
anti-Reese men in the democratic
ranks than there We're only a COM
paratiyely short time ago. Neverthe-
less it looked today at noon as if the
miners president would be nominal
ed this afternoon as there is but one
man, and he is in Davis county, in the
southern part of the district, who
would be able to defeat him now.
That man, Henry Taylor, is handicap
ped by the fact that he lives farther
from the center of the district than
does Mr.. Reese.
Phillips is Working.
t. j. Phillips, who is general super
intendent of the Whitebreast Fuel
Co., went to Oskaloosa on the first
train this morning. although the
greater number of the delegates. went
at noon. 1t is said by democrats that
Mr.. Phillips is doing evrything he, can
for the nomination of Reese. The OBJ

know, is to get Reese out of the way

Knoxville, July 24.-(Courier Special

OF Christand the Christian church have
effected union and established a
new organization, under the name OF
the Church of Christ, which includes
many of the old members of both So

years ago, when the trouble arose
among the members of the Christian
church, about sixty members were ex-
PEELED. During the pastorate of Rev.
Walston efforts We're made to bring
harmony from the waring factions.
This attempt, is is stated, only result
ed in still more acute disruption
about two years later and finally Rev.
Walston resigned. AS result. of the
union meeting held Sunday quite a
number of the members of the Chris
tian church have gone over to the new
organization and the society seems to
be prospecting under the pastorate of
Rev. Clinton Lockhart.
