AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Rev. Thornwell Jacobs at Aveleigh Presby-
terian.--Organization Of Baptist
Church In East End.

| Rev. Thornwell Jacobs, of Clinton, S.
g., preached in the Aveleigh Presby-
terian church Sabbath morning before
large congregation of interested hear
cas-. Rev. Jacobs presented the subject
matter of his address in pleasing man.
ner, and with earnest words of wisdom
and good counsel.
| Mr. Jacobs sermon was based upon
that passage of scripture which de-
scrlbes God speaking to Moses from the
burning brush, commanding him to take
Off his shoes for he was standing on
holy ground; he evolved the thought
that there was nothing common, or
ordinary, though we are wont to consider
the everyday and ordinary affairs of life,
as common and therefore they often
are despised. Whereas every act, every
place, every person should command
due consideration and thought, and
every aspiration should be holy one.
That if we thus thought and acted life
would be fuller of blessings and happi-
ness to us all. But we cannot give
resume of this excellent and spirit
ualizng sermon and must content our
selves with barely mentioning it,
In the afternoon Mr.. Jacobs spoke to
the church and to the children, telling
of that magnificent work of charity,
the Thornwell Orphanage, and Impress
ing upon the audience at the close the
sympathy and support that Aveleigh
church had always given the Orphan
age. 1t was particularly interesting
and must be fruitful of good results to
donors and Orphanage as we'll. At one
time when the clouds were lowering
heavily over the Thornwell Orphanage
it was Aveleigh church which came
forward with liberal contribution
and thus almost saved that noble
institution from disaster and failure.
Rev. Thornwell Jacobs is the son of
Rev. VIM. P. Jacobs, who is known
and loved throughout the church for
his largeness of heart and wealth of
good works.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Proceedings of Yesterday Ignored in
the Journal

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, April A.-The open
lature was a calm after the storm of yes
terday, although there was decided un-
dercurrent of feeling against Speaker Mil
Ter, which threatened to break out again
II anything similar to the tactics of yester-
day was attempted. The chief interest in
the traction question centered around the
appointment of the committee to investi-
gate the charges of attempted bribery in
behalf of the Mueller bill made yesterday
by Speaker Miller.
The members opposed to Speaker Miller
fatty declared that they did not believe
there was anything in the charge made by
the speaker. and announce their intention
of pushing home the matter in such a way
that Mr.. Miller would be compelled to prove
his assertion of attempted bribery or admit
that he could not make 1t good.
In accordance with an agreement reached
this morning between the two factions no
effort was made to approve the journal OF
yesterday and the proceedings of yester-
day We're left open.
Unanimous consent for the consideration
of the Indy bill was obtained. and Mr.
Indy entered upon an exhaustive discus
sion of traction legislation.
AT conference of representatives favor
ing the Mueller bill held before the session
opened II was agreed TO insist on the strip
ping of all amendments from the Indy
bill and to demand an investigation of
Speaker Miller's bribery charges before con-
sidering any traction legislation. 1t was
agreed also that George w. Hinman should
be called before the bar of the house in
connection with the published statements
that money had been used to further the
passage of the Mueller bill

An exhibition will be held at Limoges
from May to November to display the in
dustrial, agricultural and artistic work of
France in general. and also to show to

raisers, he says, to visit that place, as they
will find exhibits of the pure Limousin
breed of cattle. which are especially adapt

If Americans desire to exhibit, space can
be retained for them at a nominal figure
and the. cost for the entire season would
not be high. Although the exhibition opens
officially. on the 10Th of May. special priv

TIME TO GET AWAY
CLAIMED THEY ARE TEACHING
POLYGAMY.
Former Efforts at Expulsion Have
Failed Owing to This Coun-
try's Interference.

BERLIN. April 24.-The governments of
Prussia and the grand duchy of Mecklen-
burg have decided to expel the Mormon
missionaries, of whom there are 145 in Ger
many and ninety in Prussia, on the ground
that they are propagating form of re-
ligious belief incompatible with the laws
of the state and public morals, and because
polygamy is not excluded from their doc
trines. The missionaries. who are all
Americans, will be allowed sufficient time
to settle up their personal affairs.
None of the Mormons has yet been de-
ported.
The government of Prussia defines the
expulsion as being simply police measure,
for which no explanation need be made.
Peter LentenSac, German naturaliZed
in Utah, first organized missionary work
In 1896 He was succeeded in 1899 as bishop
by Arnold SchultheiSS, a Swiss naturalized
in Utah, who directed 100 missionaries
Hugh j. Cannon replaced him in 1900, and
the latter has steadily increased the num-
Der of Mormon preachers and has nearly
doubled the membership, which is now
1000
When Mormon arrived in German vii
lage he would rent a hall and begin to
preach the new faith, and the common re-
church or the Catholic priest of the parish
would complain to the police who not in
frequently ordered the missionary to leave.
The Way It Worked.
The latter then would telegraph to the
bishop in Berlin who, through the United
States embassy, would obtain a suspension
of the police order indefinitely or it's can
collation.. The foreign office, owing to the
number of cases pending, took up the sub
ject with the view of settling the status of
the Mormons for good instead of being
bothered by numerous individual cases
The result has been the decision of Prussia
and Mecklenburg to expel the Mormons,
which course is likely to be followed by
Saxony, where there are twenty-five mis-
sionaries, and by other states.
Bavaria some time ago decreed the expuI-
sion of the Mormons and they quietly
left without creating a stir or attracting
discussion.
Mr.. Cannon, who has been informed Of
ficially of Prussias and Mecklenburgs de-
cisions, has not yet determined what to do
but he will endeavor to obtain a reversal
of the policy. He affirms that the mission
aries never teach polygamy, never per
suade their adherents to emigrate and al
ways admOnish obedience to the laws The
| members are discouraged from emigrating
Mr.. Cannon adds, because the church de-
sires to establish a permanent foundation
here. The missionaries in Germany at
their own expense, have distributed consid-
cradle sums of money in charity.

"DAvE" MERCER ON POLITICS.
Everything is Booming and for Roose-
welt Out West

Col. Dave Mercer blew in from Ne

and here is the result:
why. it's all one way out west" said
Col Dave, republican beyond a doubt It's
simply great the way things are going. All
through Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and the
Dakotas the silver republicans who turned
popuists and Bryanites are coming back
into the party in droves. Every election
shows that fact in the increased republican
vote.
Good times, good feeling. contentment

ers in clover and in the towns people are

Where is the money in the bank or

mo, sir; it's in the bank Furthermore
there are plenty of farmers who are able to
lend little money, for. the most Of that
money belongs to the farmers. They have
paid off their farm mortgages and are now
on the shady side of the road.
You can just imagine how much ice
a populist croaker would cut with that out
fit, eh? Or. for that matter, a, democrat
who said the republicans were running the
country plumb to blazes. Not for a min

their present hands,"
And Mr.. RooseveIt?"
Hes the whole thing. The west adores
him. He speaks the language of their tribe
and they would give him the last pony in
the corral and foot it home. They look
upon him as good republican and now

Must Not Discriminate in
Rates.
SIX LINES AFFECTED
DECISION BY JUDGE GROSSCUP IN
CHICAGO.
He Says Government Has Right to En-
force Equitable Dealing With
All Shippers.

CHICAGO, April 24-Judge Grosscup to-
day entered an order in the United States
circuit court of appeals enjoining six rail-
road companies from discriminating against
small shippers in the western territory The
decision is especially important as being
the first under the new Elkins law.
The government, according to the de-
cision. is entitled to the injunction against
the offending railroads. under the interstate
commerce act. as we'll as the Elkins law.
The ruling applies to fourteen railroads
which were covered by proceedings insti-
tuted in the federal court Six of these
companies were defendants in the local
court; the others are under the jurisdiction
of the Kansas City federal court. Judge
Grosscup announced that he and Judge
Phillips were of one mind relative to all
the points involved. and that the latter
would render like decision today.
Rights Of the Government.
The decision. which was given orally,
holds that the government has the right to
bring action in equity to restrain rail-
road companies from discriminating either
by furnishing lower rates or giving rebates
to favored shippers 1t further declares
that while each injured citizen has right
to such relief in his own behalf, in cases
like those under consideration, the injured
persons are so numerous and the injury to
each is so inflnitesmal that 1t is the duty
of the government to act for them under
the power specifically conferred by the
statutes. The Elkins law is held to be
simply declaratory Of the substantive rights
which existed before and an injunction
would lie under the interstate commerce
act.
The railroad companies In the local court
affected by the order are: Michigan Cen
trail, Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago and St.
Louis. Lake Shore and Michigan Southern,
Illinois Central and Chicago and North
western. Those in the Jurisdiction of the
Kansas City court are: Chicago and Alton,
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul. Atchison,
Topeka and Sante Fe. Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy. Missouri Pacific. Chicago. Rock
