Locally, the men VINO struck il ac-
cordance with the general order are
out of job, and many more all over
the country are in the same predica-

The news that the strike was OFT
came from Kansas City last night,
where w. C. Fleming, nationai organlz-
er of the Brotherhood of Railway
Expressmen, who organized the Lit
tie Rock branch, notified the striking
employees of that city that they had
lost their fight and advised them to-
apply for reinstatement.
At Little Rock Supt. G. F. Johnson
ANNOUNCED this morning that ne
would reinstate only those CT his
former employees who resigned from
the Brotherhood of Railway Express
men. This is the most bitter pill OF
all that the strikers will have to
swallow, for it means the disorganiza-
tion of the union in this district.
National Organizer Fleming said
the strike failed because of the large
number of deserters in st. Louis.

,n ANONYMOUS WRITER MAKES
SALTY CHARGES AGAINST
LOCAL PREACHERS.
o4+e- Turned Over to Ministers AS
sociation For investigation
of the Charges.
NOBODY BELIEVES THE CHARGES

While Rev. J. B. Andrews, the
evangelist was holding his protracted
meeting here two weeks ago he re-
coived a letter, which, if it had been
read to the public, would have created
q sensation The letter suggested 70
the revivalist that he had been preach
ing too many sermons to the so-called
sinners on popular SINS and that II
would be advisable for him to touch
upon private SINS or those which
50 the writer stated, We're the sins OF
the preachers. The unknown then
proceeded to tell on many of the
pastors of the city, and to betray
sins of which each one was
alleged to be cu1paDle. He
charged one with gambling, another
er with drinking, a third with impure
Me. and so on down the whole list,
accusing all but Rev. Ross Moore, pas
tor of the First Baptist church, Rev.
J. M. Hawley, pastor Of the First Meth
odist church; Rev. w. D. Buckner, of
Trinity church, and Revs. S. C. Alex
ander and Browning. The list includ-
ed Rev. Thomas Scott, presiding ell
der of the Methodist church of this
district; Rev. J. L. Caldwell, Gf the
First Presbyterian church; Rev. J. r.
Dickerson, Riverside Methodist; Rev
W. P Whaley, Lakeside Methodist;
Rev. Frank Thompson, Christian; Rev.
T. w. Vaughn, and Revs. Anderson,
Beardsley and Few, formerly pastors
of churches in this city. The writer
stated that all of these ministers he
knew We're leading impure and unholy
lives, and eXhorted Rev. Andrews TO
inquire 1ntd their lives of Sill. The
anonymous writer was vigorous in his
denunciation and asked how could the
evangelist expect to convert the peo
pie when the preachers and pastors
were themselves living such impure
l1fSS 1uo I6lJGr was SlSuGu rive
Citizens, All of Whom Are Sinners"
Rev. Andrews did not take the trou
BILE to read this letter to the public
and preach special sermons, taking
each preachers life for his text, but
turned it over to the Minister'S asso-
cation in order that they might them
selves undertake the investigation AS
the attack seemed to be directed to-
ward the Methodist ministers chiefly,
Rev. Scott took it for investigation.
The fact that he has not preferred
charges against any of the ministers
mentioned in the foregoing is proof
that he could find nothing in their per-
sonal lives to warrant SUCH and the
letter did not have the effect intended.
Nobody in Pine Bluff believes the
charges made against the preachers
named.

OFFICERS HOT ON THE TRAIL

Some malicious paeson, of persons.
entered the study of Rev. Moss Moore
n the =Fiet baptist church last night
and tore MP Things generally. Rev
Moore had left the keys in his desk
and the parties ransaeked his papers.
tearing UP two or three OF his sermons
and scattering his private papers over
the noor. hit took nothing valuable.
The doors 10 Tire church, Sunday
school room and study were broken
open when the thief entered. The
study was Uttered With filth and the
work of the misereant seemed confined
10 this, as nothing vas found to be
missing this morning but the keys TO
the desk. The object of the mid
night pr0Wler could have been moth
ing but the meaneSt kind of mischief.
Rey. Moore was in his study last
night until 10 O'Clock, meeting with a
ccnmittee from his church on some
special work, and when he left he
merely drew down the cover to his
desk, leaving the keys in the lock.
The sexton then locked up the church
for the night, locking the doors to
the study, Sunday school room and
the front door of the church. He says
that he left about half past 10 and
noticed no one in the church when he
left This morning when Rev. Moore
went to his study he found that the
doors had been broken open and his
desk rifed Two of his sermons lay
in bits on the floor and his private
papers were scattered hither and
thither on the floor The sheriff was
telephoned and Deputy Tom Meeks
went to the scene with the hounds,
with the intention Of tracking the mis-
creant with their aid but the hounds
could not pick up, the scent, owing
to the dust in frott of the church. Mr..
Meeks carefully searched the room
for clues and found the remains of
cigar and partially burned Cremo
band. This leads to the belief that
the offenders were men who had a
spite against the preacher. From the
looks of the room Mr. Meeks thinks
that there were several IN the party.
He is working on the case today and
hopes to find the guilty parties.
Rev. Moore says he does not know
of an enemy that he has in the world.
He does not think that the work was
done by a crowd Of mnschievous boys,
and thinks it was the act of persons
merely to defile the church.
The acts committed were so vile
and loathesome that they are unmen-
tionable in the columns Of news
paper.

in part =
In the development of the Institute it
was the aim of the Trustees to provide
for the health, the comfort and the pleas

The water supply is derived from Il
large artificial reservoir holding about
l0.000,00O gallons in a little valley about
Il mile from the grounds of the Institute
The water after leaving the reservoir Is
filtered through two large slow sand

POWER OF
EDUCATED PEOPLE
1t Is Greater Than That Of Armies And
OF NavieS, Says Rev. Geo. E. Reed.

Rev. George T.. Reed, Ii. d.. Prcsi-
dent of Dickinson College, confined his
address to the great progress and expan-
sion of the Union and the need of keep
ing pace with it in the development Of
educational advantages.
I'VE may rejoice" he said, "over every
increase of the Navy or other arm of de-
fense We are deeply interested in every
power, in every agency, to insure pro-
lection on land or sea, to promote the
commerce and business of the people.
Nevertheless, the real strength and
glory is not so much in navieS or armies
as in our ability to train men and wo-
men for the duties of citizenship in this
free republic. The dedication of these
buildings for the instruction of young
men and women in those lines on which
real civic life is based is of far more i'm
portance than the grandest navy of mo-
Gern times. We trust we have men
grounded in the fundamental principles
of liberty to keep up with the ever-in-
creaSing is to fit citizens to do larger
things. The state itself has done but
little for higher education All the great
educational bcncfactionS have come from
the patriotism of private individuals.
Among these none are to be honorcd
more than Jacob Tome.
Turning to Mrs. Tome, President of the
Board of Trustees. DR.. Reed said =
Upon this woman has fallen the task
of carrying into effect the cherished plans
Of her husband and which she has dis
charged with such signal success.
