MRS. NATION IN COLUMBIA.
The Kansas Joint Smasher Talks
at Music Hall and Visits the
Saloons.

a crowd of several hundred people
gathered at the Wabash station
Tuesday afternoon in hope of seeing
Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Kansas, who
made this town visit under the au-
spices of w. b. Burrus. The good
natured, motherly old woman was
driven to the Powers House by Dor
sey Anderson, Mr.. Burruss and g.
NJ. Strong. Before getting in the
carriage Mrs. Nation rebuked some
of the boys for smoking and engaged
in some pleasantness prompted by
the surrc findings. During the after
noon and evening Mrs. Nation visit
ed the saloons, which were pack ed
by curious crowd, eager to hear
and see whatever was done. She
did no smashing" but lectured the
proDrietors and went on about her
business. The crowd followed her
and when she reached Music Hall
she found n good sized crowd to hear
her. The service was opened with
prayer by Rev. Sam Frank Taylor,
after which the lecturer talked for an
hour on saloons, their evils, the law,
law yers, President Roosevelt's mes
sap,e, tails and other matters into
which her subject led her. After
her talk she sold souvenirs which
shet states go towards paying her
fin's on three charges for ''siHash-
ing saloons in Wichita, Kansas.
Mrs. Nation says she is president
of the w. G. II. L. in her home
county, and has been fighting saloons
for years; thinks she is being used
of God to destroy the evil. At the
close of the talk she led song and
then closed the meeting with a ben
ediction and short prayer.
At the close of her talk, Mrs. Ma
ton disposed of ally the souvenirs
she had on hand. Among the souv-
enirs were her pictures, her maga-
zine, 1.-The SmashS's Mail" and
miniature hatchetS During her
talk several persons interrupted her,
! but she was equH to the occasion
every time. Here Sre II few senten'
ces from her lecture which show hei

OUR RIGHT TO CELEBRATE
THE EMANCIPATION.
Extracts From an Address DeIiv-
cred by Rev. J. M. Harris,
M. A. l., at the N. E.
Church, Fulton, Mo-,
Jan. |, 1902.
Ladies' and gentlemen:

I'VE have not met here to
heal the wounds Of slavery
that we cannot do. Neither
can we add to or take from
the mighty monster his crown
of thorns that once pressed
down upon four million
slaves.
But we have a right to
celebrate the day on which
that crown of thorns was
broken in pieces, never to be
mended again. x \
1--WE have a right to cele-
brate the emancipation be-
cause God, in His all wise
providence, has so ordained
that man should commemor-
ate the day on which he is
released from sin, from hui
man bondage or the occasion
on which he receives a special
blessing. \ \
"This idea we CLEAN from
the seven annual solemnities
observed among the ancient
Israelites, among which was
the year of jubilee. Once in
fifty years the Israelites were
commanded to give liberty to
slaves, freedom to debtors,
and a general restitution of
alienated inheritances.
Again we take for special
notice some Of the solemnities
3pf the sacred year. The three
great feasts, viz: The Pass
over, Pentecost, and the Feast
of the Tabernacles, all OBJ
served at the capital of the
nation and requiring the peo-
pie to make annual pilgrim
ages to Jerusalem.
"The feast of the Passover
commemorated the exodus
from Egypt; the feast of the
Tabernacles commemorated
the out door life in the will
derness. And again, we may
also speak of the feast of
Purim, comm emOra ing
Queen Esther's deliverance
of the Jewish people, which
was observed with general
feasting and rejoicing. \
"Now, ladies and gentle
men, if the Israelites could
celebrate the day on which
100000 left the Egyptian
bondage, may not we cele-
brate the day on which the
shackles were broken from
four million Of American
slaves; and if the Israelites
could commemorate the days
in which they wandered in
the wilderness in a solitary
way, when they had no city
to dwell in; when they were
hungry and thirsty and their
souls tainted in them; yes, in
the days in which they cried
unto the Lord in their trou-
BILE and He delivered them
out of their distresses, cannot
we commemorate the days in
which the iron heel OF Op.
preston was upon the necks
of four million American
slaves!
1--WE have a right to cele-
brate the emancipation.
"The black man seemed to
be the child of misfortune.
1t appeared that the Internal
gods had decreed that he
should not succeed. He was
worked like dumb driven cat
tie, punished like a brute,

SCHUMANN-HElNK COMING.
Most Popular Musical Favoritc In the
City,

Madam Schunann-Heink, the leading
contralto of the Metropolitan Grand
Opera Company, who is to give a concert
i'll this city on Thursday, March 9th, is
the possessor of remarkable charm and
magnetism. Her appearance here under
the auspices of the Wednesday Club de-
1nonstrated this very clearly, for the
members of the club, as well us the
great audience, was completely at her
feet. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
no artist that ever appeared here created
the same Juror and enthusiasm, and in
terest in her reappearance has reached
4 great height.
The subscription list at the store Of
Walter D. Moses & Company is q tri-
butte to the popularity of the artist, for
it has already assumed very large pro
portions, embracing many names OF
those who are prominent in the musical.
social and art life of the city. Madam
Scfumann-Heink will be greeted by one
of the. largest houses of the season
when she comes to illustrate more clear
ly than she could illustrate in any other
way the perfection of her art, as well
as her versatility.
