terday, leaving here nine years ago.
In his congregation yesterday morn
ing were many who had worshipped
with him during his ministry in
Helena years ago. but there were
many, he said whose faces he miss

from other churches, attracted to
the Presbyterian church by the
announcement that Mr.. Grover was
to fill the pulpit. All those who
listened to the address were struck
with it's force as well as it's charm,
and it was pronounced a splendid
sermon.-Helena (Ark,) World

The Democrats are making gains
in the West at the spring elections
This is not decisive of anything,
and merely shows the political
drift. At st. Paul the Democrats
have won sweeping victory. In
the local elections in Indiana they
made notable gains. In dozen
considerable towns, including
South Bend, Terre Raute, Vinoen-
mes, New Albany and Blooming
ton, the Democrats either wrested
control from the Republicans OF
made substantial gains. The time
is undoubtedly ripe for reaction
against the Republican party.
There is division and discomfort at
Washington, and this is spreading.

allows of the use of medicine external

was hurrying to the bedside from his
new city of Zion at Waukegon. Upon
his arrival the attendants were ex-
cluded from the room and Dowie sunk
to his knees in prayer. His supplica,
ton lasted all day. He refused to
even take the nourishment which his
followers wouIu have pressed upon
him. The patient was unconscious
most of the time during the day. The
patient died at ,. m in great agony,
having returned to consciousness a
short time before. News of the death
did not come out until the coroner was
notified.
CDR" Dowie was the first witness.
He frequently broke down under his
grief. He declared that his daughters

body and that vaseline had been
rubbed on her by Deacon Spaicher's

had said there was little hope. Dowie
declared that when Esther regained
consciousness she asked him to pray
for her. AT no time, he said, had she
asked for medical attendance. The
jury then returned a verdict that the
death was due to burns accidentally
received.

Thursday,s Fire.

Never in her history has Point
Pleasant had fire in which four
persons lost their lives; in fact we
do not recall an incident when even
one was so unfortunate.
To the relatives of the unfortu-
nate victims of this fire. we extend
our deepest sympathy and the
property owners who suffered loss
es in this fire also have the sympa-
thy of our community. which it is
hoped will exort them to renewed
courage to try again.
All of the occupants of the
American Hotel lost clothing and
other articles, and some consider
able money.
Messrs. Brown and Kimberling
were among the heaviest luosers,
having lost all of their household
goods, the latter also loosing his
residence. While Mr.. Wiley's
residence was saved, it will take
several hundred dollars to repair
the damage done by fire and water
The fire company did excellent
work in extinguishing the flames
before farther damage was done,
and every member of company as
well as number of citizens
worked heroically. The chief of
the fire company used good judg.
ment in giving orders, and the or
ganization has a good leader in the
person of Capt. S. N. Park.
For the first time since Point
Pleasant has had water works and
a fire company, has the company
had its entire line of hose in use.
This, however, was the case at
Thursday mornings fire, and had
it not been for the several streams
playing on the burning buildings
the confagration would have been
terrible
Henry Woodall, who was SO bad
ly burned in the fire Thursday

pared for burial and sent to his
