Revival Closed.

The series of meetings which
have been in progress at the
Baptist church at this place for
the past two weeks, conducted
by Rev. L. D. Lamkin of Waco,
Tex, assisted by the pastor,
Rev. Alpha 1ngle, and Prof. j.
M. Hunt of Kansas City, the lat
ter leading in the song service,
and whose sweet songs were a
great help in the cause, and
source of pleasure to all who
heard him, closed Sunday night.
There were about twenty five
accessions to the church and a
general renewing of faith among
the older members. Sunday
morning the church was filled to
its fullest seating capacity and
the throng seemed to inspire the
speaker and his sermon on the
"Bible, Or Will the Old Book
Stand?" was of a soul stirring
and tender character, which
showed deep thought and earnest
preparation on the part of Rev.
Lamkin. But when it was an
nounced that the ordinance of
baptism and farewell services
would be conducted after the
evening services, each We'd with
TIE other to get there first, and
ere the hour for the second bell
there was not standing room and
many were turned away. Rev.
Lamkin, as most all other occa-
sions, seemed filled with the Holy
Spirit and spoke with such
earnestness and power as to set
many % thinking, "Whither am I
drifting?" The ordinance of
baptism was administered to
seventeen of the cand dates after
which farewells were spoken and
speaker, singer and people part
ed. Rev. Lamkin and Prof.
Hunt made many friends while
here who would be glad to well
come the m back again.
The Courier Wall Atlas.
The COURIER has added fea-
ture which, we believe, will be
very much appreciated by its
PATRONS. 1t consists of wall at
lassof five maps, the first showing
the flags of all nations and con-
tanning a lot of valuable statistical
information of the United States;
the second is a map of the state
of Missouri, together with an
alphabetical list of the counties,
towns and cities, giving the
population of each according to
the census of 1900; the third is a
map of the United States and
her possessions, containing facts
as to their capitals and first set
Elements and in relation to their
general governments, areas,
population and legislatures. On
the back of this map there is an
alphabetical list of all towns and
cities in the United States with a
population of 5000 or over with
the census Of each for the years
1880, 1890 and 1900; the third
map is that of the eastern and
the fourth map of the western
hemisphere.
The atlas is worth 81, but we
furnish it to those who renew
their subscription or who become
new subscribers to the COURIER
for only twenty cents. It is a
valuable compilation, and a
work that ought to be in every
home. Parties who desire it
mailed to their address must en-
close six cents extra to cover
postage.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
Agreement Must Be Signed by Expo
Sitiou Directors,

Secretary Shaw of the Treasury Depart
ment has transmitted to David r. Francis,
president of the Louisiana purchase EXPOSE
ton, the blank form of agreement be-
tween the directors of the exposition and
Secretary Shaw, on behalf of the United
States. carrying out the provisions of the
act of March g. 1901, providing for the
closing of the gates of the exposition
grounds Sunday. The agreement was
prepared by the solicitor Of the treasury,
and in transmitting it to Mr.. Francis. Sec
rotary Shaw calls attention to the fact that
the agreement that has been signed by
President Francis does not meet the APP
prevail of the solicitor of the treasury be-
cause 1t is signed by Mr.. Francis for the
directors and is not signed by the directors
themselves. Mr.. Shaw says that the statute
requires that the directors shall enter into
an agreement to close the exposition on
Sundays" Mr.. Shaw says that he prefers
that the board of directors shall pass
resolution agreeing that the grounds shall
be closed on Sundays during the entire
period Of the exposition, and at the same
time providing that the directors shall sign
q contract to that effect. Unless the proper
agreement Is signed, the S., 600 900 appro-

THE CASE OF MR.. BURTON.
Senator Hanna Discusses the Situation
at Cleveland.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June Ex-senator
Hanna will leave for Washington this after
noon with the peace offering of the local
political leaders to Representative Burton
Senator Hanna will tell Mr.. Burton that
the chairman Of the county committee Mr..
w. P. Abel, will not be removed, but that
Mr. Burton and candidates on the county
ticket can name campaign committee of
their own to take full charge of the county
and congressional campaign. Il am now
thoroughly satisfied that Mr.. Burton has
been misled and misinformed in regard to
matters at home.' said Senator Hanna,
land l think it would be more satisfactory
to him and to all concerned If he would
come home and talk with republicans here.
Il am of the opinion that the best way
out Of the difficulty is for Mr.. Burton to
appoint a campaign committee for his dis
trict. or. if the candidates on the county
ticket desire to join him, then to appoint
a separate campaign committee for the
county. OF course, the county committee
cannot be ignored. and it must have. charge
of the campaign so far as the state ticket
is concerned. There is no reason however
why the county committee cannot work
under the direction in harmony with a
separate committee which may be appoint
ed for Mr.. Buttons district or for the can
didateS on the county ticket"
1t Is believed the concession will have the
effect of satisfying Mr.. Burton.
