Rev. Noble E. Stewart was ordained
as pastor in the Baptist church Sun
day afternoon at the Second Baptist
church. The ordination council was
composed of Rev. Duboc and Deacons

Rev. Michel and Deacons Jones and
Ashman of Beacon, State Missionary
s. E. Wilcox, of Des Moines, and Rev.
w. D. Simmer and Deacon Ed. Reeves,
James Brown and N. Allen Of the Sec
ond Baptist church. Rev. Duboc was
chosen chairman and Rev. Michel
secretary.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
Wilcox, the charge delivered by Rev.
Michel and the hand of fellowship ex-
tended by Rev. Bates. Rev. Stewart
was put through rigid examination
but answered every question satisfact-
orily. He has been local preacher in
the Methodist church but desired to
change his faith and work and the op-
portunity was given him. He departs
Tuesday for Oklahoma where he will
enter the missionary field among the
colored people there.

THE CITY CHURCHES.
Changes In Local Charges and
Coming Events.

Rev Levi Mills, who for the past
twelve months has been in pastoraSe
charge of the Friends church OF this
city, preached his farewell sermon
Sunday morning to his congregation
in the chapel at Penn college. the
congregation filled almost every chair
in the room and the closest Of atten-
tion was given to the service and 20
the words of the sermon in particular.
The sermon was strong In itself, but
no more so than others that this able
minister has delivered to his people
during the past year. He has been
an infiential and a strong man among
the people Of the city as well as with
his own followers, andmany and sin
cere regrets are expressed that falling
health makes necessary the change
that takes the Reverend gentleman
from among us. An under current OF
sentiment marked the meeting. 1t did
not come to the surface to any mark
ed degree but its presence was seen
and felt The minister attempted to
say a word or two touching upon the
ending of his ministry in the city but
he could not trust himself to dwell up
on the topic. At the close Of the meet
ing he went to the entrance door to
greet those present as is the custom
and many lingering handshakes and
earnestly spoken words were noted.
Rev. Mills goes to California to take
charge of congregation at Whittier.

anywhere else upon the earth's sur
face. Nor is this fanaticism confined
to the Moslem but Jew and Christian
are infected by it. An enterprising
printer has paid lately s4OO in bribes
to the Turkish official for permission
to establish local weekly newspaper.
Permission so far has been refused be-
cause the government was afraid the
newspaper would abuse members Of
other sects and cause bloodshed. The
Turk realizes the power Of the press.
He is desirous Of promoting peace and
backsheesh. The largest shops are
devoted to the sale of "Objects de
Piete," and the manufacture Of cross
es is the only industry that appears to
flourish. News filters in only through
the consent of the government censor.

who built the st. Louis-St. Charles
electric road, and who has now be-
come interested in the local venture,
met number OF citizens Of Mexico at
the Court House Thursday night and
discussed the matter at length
Ii is now decided that a company
composed of Messrs. G. A. Thompson
and j. d Hanesman, ]. II. Starr, S.

Ter and one other. gentleman. This
company will be incorporated at once
for $4,000. Mr.. Thompson said Fri
day morning that the articles OF in
corporation are already drawn up and
will probably be filed this week. The
survey will be started next week and
pushed TO completion as rapidly as
possible. The rights-of-ways will be
secured and it is then the plan to
raise fourth or third of the stock
necessary to build the road and then
borrow the remainder. This, says
Mr.. Houseman, can be done without
any trouble.
In a lengthy talk before the meet
ing Mr.. Houseman stated that he has
never seen country better laid out
for the erection Of an electric road
he was speaking of the route between
Moberiy, Perry and Mexico-and said
that in many places one could almost
lay the ties on the bare prairie. He
explained that it would be necessary
to have but one power house, that the
one would give sufficient power to run
an up-to-date electric line and to fur
nlsh lighting for any city it touched.
When asked as to the probable
cost Of such a road, Mr.. Houseman es-
timated, roughly, from $4,000 to sl5,-
900 mile and said that a fair aver
age would be sl2,00O-this includes
construction, materials, rolling stock
and power house. He thinks that the
proper way to conduct the line would
be to have a'llne from Mexico TO Paris
and one from Moberly TO Perry, via
Santa Fe. To have the power house
at the crossing OF these two lines,
which, Of course would be connected.
He says that a sufficiently heavy
standard guage road would be built to
handle freight and stock cars direct
TO and from the farms of the custo-
mers.
