NOW, as / already have said, / Went
TO the gathering prepared to speak Of
him ana Of the service in terms Of
warm approval. ] have heard SO much
said against him that the very. reasons
of the charges brought against him OPP
Grated as a reaction in my own mind
and made me all the more DESTROYS Of
speaking strongly in his behalf
The congregation was a courteous
one. If there could have been upon the
platform a man with as fine a presence
as Mr.. Dowie and with as searching
and carrying a voice as Mr.. Dowies
and along with that spirit as true as
that Of the original Elijah a great deal
Of good might have been accomplished,
and if any man or any number Of men
came III there last night not knowing
what Christianity is and imagined
what Dowie was giving was Christian
/ ity the condition of mind Of them when
! they went away would be deplorable.
There were fine looking men on the
platform, and 1t was with amusement
that / observed the apparent and in
deed evident satisfaction that they
took in even the most commonplace
and coarse vituperations in which the
exasperated prophet reveled.
If the general run of Dowie's sery-
ices are Of fine kind which / listened to
last night the shorter the time be
spends here with us the better for rs
ana the better for the cause which,
honestly Or hypocriticaliy, he Is under
/ taking To nerforfa.

The cruiser made no preliminary

pleted the first leg at II l0.46 as timed
by observers on shore. This was esti-

FARMER SHOCKS GLAN
Iorlelnan

AhfAtAtAN--s-A
Years nro when railroads were new
ard cattle guards were not perfected
the R. c. and d. Railroad company
received a bin from Farmer Aaron
Shock for one brlndle COW killed by
locomotive, the amount claimed be-
Ing SIS. The claim was duly made
ont and presented TO the station agent.
Now, railroad companies are proven.
bially particular about their employees
doing business expeditiously. Never
theless while the r. @. and DIS EN-
ployees would have risked dismissal
for not forwarding promptly amy claim
the company might have on others
they would also risk dismissal for for
wardlng promptly any claim against
the company It must be admitted
that the auditor was in no hurry in
either receiving or paying the account
for Farmer Shocks COW. The auditor
no sooner laid eyes on the claim than
it went into the pigeonhole where were
kept those claims which il was not
considered necessary TO pay soon, If at
all--in other words, from claimants
without the ability to push them.
Farmer Shock, who fully expected
to receive cash for his COW as soon as
the president Of the road should re-
ceive Ills bin, was much disappointed
at the delay.
aaron, said his wife, does them

have tor
"Waal, / reckon it don't make no diff

"Mebbe you cam
How
"Waal, there's no water they kin glt
hereabout to feed the tank at the sta
ton except from the creek that runs
through our farm. You've often said
you had d mind to cut away some dirt
where the creek turns and let the wa.
ter 60 down around the hills. Why
don't You do it,"
Aaron scratched his head, then pick
ed up d pick and a spade, and IN q
couple Of hours the little stream was
flowing IN another channel.
The next day the station agent came
UP to the shock farmhouse to find on
what was the matter with the creek
When tile change was discovered hi
told Farmer Shock that he would sent
a gang to turn the water back again
whereupon the farmer declared that !
he did he would shoot EN- for tres

The station agent reported the mat
ter to headquarters. This time Their
was no delay in transmission. tn
water tank was useless without water
and engines must be fed from it. Tn
attorney for the company was sum
moned and questioned as TO the farm
er's legal rights In turning the stream
The attorney returned to his Office

On his own farm, but if the stream dia
not originate on the premises some
thing might be done 4 deadhead tele-
gram was at once dispatched 10 the
station agent for the information. who,
after Investigation. reported that the
creek originated from spring mile
from Shocks house, but on property
owned hy him.
BY this time n number Of engines
had given cut at the station for want
Of water and were sidetracked there.
The attorney for the company adj
yised that a compromise be effected
but the president declared that he'd
stop running trains before be would
dicker with an ignorant countryman.
There was another tank At n station
below the one near Farmer Shocks
and the president gave orders that the
locomotives be provided with water 70
last tili they reached this station.
BY this time Farmer Shock bad got
wind Of the fact that the source Of the
stream was an important matter, and
he knew that the spring on his farm
very copious spring was the source
Of all streams crossing the railroad in
that neighborhood He concluded to
see what he could do toward turning
the water away from the last named
station. Possessing a pasture through
which ran the stream that fed the
tank there, after examination he found
that by dammfng he could give the
stream bend that would turn 1t into
small river which flowed near. The
consequence was that one morning the
creek at the second tank station was
found dried up.
This settled 1t that Farmer Shocks
claim should have attention. The au-
ditor Of the road was sent to see him,
and, disclaiming any liability for the
COW, which had no business 70 get IN
the way. offered the farmer 50 per
cent or the claim, or $3.50 as a pres
emit The farmer stuck 10 his bill Of
i S25 and presented an additional bill Of
$50 for incidentals. When the auditor
asked him to specify the Items be said

This unheard OF audacity in eharg-
ing a railroad company for the means
used in injuring It WAS too much for
the auditor, who left the house ia high
l.dudgeon and reported to the president
that he had found It impossible to treat
with the unreasonable farmer.
! A meeting OF the directors was called
ana the matter laid before them. with
the result Of sending the attorney TO
the farmer with orders to settle the
claim before returning. The attorney
endeavored to show the farmer that
IN law he would have no case, but the
/ farmer was too stupid 10 understand
the point and stood by his demands
whereupon the attorney, who knew
very well that the farmer could turr
his own spring wherever he liked, pro
vided those upon whose property b.
turned It did not object, drew on th'
company for sf75, which be paid th'
} farmer, who agreed to turn the waite
back again.

Rev. Conrad Bluhm, who has ac-
cepted the call to the First Pres
byterian church Of this city. comes

1897 he took his degree as a min
ister at the Union Theological

Street Dutch church, under the
ripe experience Of DIR. Peter
Stryker.
Before graduating from the sem
mary, Mr.. Bluhm received call
to the psstorate of the Dutch
church in Hoboken. n. and,
against odds, succeeded in build
ing that parish from its rent condi-
tions OF thirty members to two
hundred members, and in raising
its revenues from scant 5000 to
50, 900 per annum. This unceas-
ing effort suggested the wisdom OF
a years rest, and one year ago Mr..
Bluhm took up the missionary
work in Colorado and Wyoming,
a work that kept him in sandal OF
saddle most OF the time. During
July and August he is substituting
for DR.. Weaver in the expansion
work of the First Presbyterian
