We find the following complimentary
mention of Rev T. J. Snodgrass, in the
Glenwood, pierce county Tribune:
Rev T. J. Snodgrass, one of Glenwoods s
old time pastors, now stationed at River
Falls, occupied the NJ. f, pulpit Sunday
morning and evening, large congrega-
tions turning, out to hear him His
sermons We're of, exceptional force aud
eloquence. Mr. Snodgrass has become
one of the ablest preachers in the West
Wisconsin conference, and seems TO
grow in eloquence and the power of
expression with each passing year.
Were it not for his youthful heart and
bearing the old man eloquent" would
be no misnomer for him Glenwood
hopes to hear him again in the near fu-
ture. +"

Minister Suicides

Ottumwa, Apr. 15.-Rev. Samuel
Knell, methodist minister at Tacoma,
committed suicide Sunday morning
by shooting himself through the
head. He conducted the morning
service in the usual manner but an
nounced that there would be no
evening service or prayer meeting.
He went home, locked himself into
his room, wrote couple of letters
and note OF explanation and sent a
bullet into his brain, dying a couple
of hours later. The note stated that
the revival which he had been con-
Quoting had not been success and
he was discouraged with life.

remarkable cures that he is daily eff

strongly. His theory which he ad-

anyone who is a sufferer, in sufficient
quantities to convince it's ability to

walked about after two or three trials
of the remedy. The sick, given up by
