PREACHERS THREATENED.
Letter Sent to Them With Skull anc
Cross Bones Annexed,


Eddyville, May 7.-(SpeciaL)-A
sensation was sprung in the Con-
gregational church last evening when
Rev. j. w. Buck, pastor of that
church, read a white cap no.
tice which has been received ordering
them to discontinue their crusade
against the open saloon. The letter is
accompanied by crude drawings of a
skull and cross bones, a coffin and an
open grave. A heavy black line is
drawn around the whole epistle to
make it look as funeral like as possi-
BILE.
Tho Letter.
Following is a copy of the letter re-
ceived by Pastor Buck through the
mails:
Rev. Buck.
Dear Sir:-Fronl all appearances
you are about to start on another cru
SADIE on the liquor question. Now
rather than have the town stirred up
as it was last summer, we as friends
and for benefit of community ask you
to discontinue it and if you do not suf-
fer the consequence such as the COM
mittee may see fit to do. See!
Signed by order Of committee 10.
What Stirred Them UP.
The revival meetings in general and
the announcement that sermon
would be preached from the text:
"The Wages of Sin-Eddyville, Her
Saloons and Anarchy" in particular
seems to have stirred up the wrath of
the friends of the saloonkeepers and
the outcome was the letter above CIV
en-.
Threatened But Stayed.
Rev. ]. w. Buck is the pastor of the
Congregational church here in Eddy
vile. A little over year ago, the
pastors of the several churches engag-
ed in a fight against the saloons In
functions were issued against them,
and for short time they were closed.
In few weeks, however, the liquor
men had their places open again and
We're running in violation of all law.
The saloon men then came out boldly
and made their boasts, that all those
pastors of the Eddyville churches,
would have to go and Rev. Buck is the
only one remaining at this time.
At present Rev. Buck is being as
sisted by L. E. Coad, the lawyer evan
gelist of Eldon, in series of revival
meetings. Mr.. Coad had not been in
the town long until he let it be known
in pretty emphatic terms, where he
stood upon the saloon question The
evangelist got out cards and had them
distributed over the town announcing
his subjects for this week, and among
them, was the one on 1.-THE Wages of
Sin," etc.
Won't Be Frightened.
Pastor Buck and Evangelist Coad
say that if the people who are respon-
sible for the letter thought to brighten
them away, they have reckoned badly.

The report of the Anamosa prison
board received by the state board OF
control shows that of the ten women
prisoners who attended school during
the past month, Sarah Kuhn is one of
the best. Mrs. Kuhn is not more than
twenty years of age. She was young
and pretty and had very little educa
ton when she was sent to Anamosa
from Keokuk county for the crime of
poisoning her husband by putting
strychnine in beer.
Her case ives appealed at the last
term of court Mrs. Kuhn is said to
have made herself general favorite
in the prison, and her marks in the
prison school indicate that she has not
been idle. She received percentage
of 80 in United States history during
the past month. Her grades in read
ing, spelling, arithmetic and penlnan.
