REV. KUHN HAS
ACCEPTED CALL
TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN
THIS CITY
EXCELLENT PASTOR
The Members of the Church Feel That
They Have Made Very Wise
Choice.
EXCELLENT PASTOR

Rev. Kuhn, of Frankfort, Indiana,
has accepted a call to the Christian
church Of this city, and will preach
his first sermon here in a few weeks.
Since the departure of Rev. White
the Christian church has been without
a pastor, and for several months the
question of pastor has been under
discussion. Rev. Kuhn and many
others have preached as candidates,
and Of all the list Rev. Kuhn made
the best impression. Accordingly, a
meeting of the whole church was held
and after due consideration a call
was extended to Rev. Kuhn, who has
been pastor of the Christian church
at Frankfort, Indiana. The call was
accepted. Rev. Kuhn will arrive in
this city within a few days, or weeks,
at the most.
Rev. Kuhn is very eloquent speak
er, and when he appeared at the
Christian church his powerful SER
mon, his eloquence, and his evident
qualifications for the work, caused him
to be, in the minds Of many of the
parishioners, the next minister.
The members and officers of the
Christian church feel that they have
made wise choice, and one that will
prove very advantageous to them il
iseve1y way. In Frankfort Rev. Kuhl
fis held as one Of the ablest ministers
Of the city, and the Christian churcl
there has greatly increased under his
leadership.

with his body badly scalded and burn
ed. and with his head and shoulders
continually smarting from the effects
OF severe burns, the four-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs George Mertz,
died Yesterday afternoon.
Monday the boy, Clarence, met with
a terrible accident. In some way,
while reaching up for bowl of broth
which was being heated on a small
gasoline stove, he pulled the broth and
the small stove both over. The boil
ING broth poured over his head and
shoulders, cooking his flesh in a ter
rible way, and the gasoline stove fell
right on his head. and it is thought
that the flames from this burned him
| also. y doctor was hastily summoned
and for four days worked faithfully,
applying all known methods Of allie
Waiting the severe pain. The flesh of
| the boys head and shoulders, as we'll
as the upper torso were badly burned
and blistered. Cooling appliances
were placed upon the boy and as much
Of the pain drawn from the burns as
was possible. Yesterday afternoon
however. despite all efforts the little
boy died. The burns had been too
! deep to be survived.
The funeral of the little boy will
take place at , clock tomorrow aft
ernoon from the home, 2013 North +
street. lnterment at Earlham.

REV. A. PARKER
GOES TO PIQUA
RESIGNS PASTORATE OF FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH
HIS FAREWELL SERMON
Will Be Preached Sunday Morning
His Friends Sorry to See Him
Leave.

Richmond will soon loose one of
the ablest Of her ministers, and es-
pecially will the members of the First
Baptist church feel the absence of
their former leader.
Rev. Addison Parker, the pastor of
the First Baptist church, has accept
ed call to the Baptist church at Pi-
qua, Ohio, and after due considera-
ton has decided to move to that city,
to accept the pastorate of that church
within the next few weeks.
Sunday morning Rev. Parker will
preach his farewell sermon at the
First Baptist church on north ele-
venth street, and an exceptionally
large attendance is anticipated as the
members and friends of Mr.. Parker
and the Baptist church will make a
special effort to hear his farewell ser
mon in this city.
Mr.. Parker received the call some
time ago, and for long while has
had the matter under consideration
and advisement. Finally he decided
to accept it, altough it is with great
regret that he leaves this city. He
has gained a large circle of friends
both inside and outside the church,
and these friends, and many others
will be sorry to see Mr.. Parker leave
the city to enter other fields. His
sermons have been forcible and pow
erful and full Of good teaching and
he has gained such name as a
strong. earnest preacher, that the lar
ger city has called him thither.

RICHMOND BOY
ACTED BADLY
CHARLES LUNDY GETS INTO
TROUBLE AT vEvAY
! STOLE RAZOR e. MONEY
Formerly Had Shop in This City
Much Wanted Young Man
Money and Razors.
STOLE RAZOR e. MONEY

Some time ago Charles Lundy was
the owner of barber shop at South
Eighth and + streets. He sold out
and left town. 1t seems that he got
into trouble in Vevay, according to
the following story from the Reveille !:
Harry Sullivan, the clever Ferry
street barber is mourning the loss of
800 in cash, five razors and a pair
Of shears. And thereby hangs a tale.
About ten days ago there drifted into
town a man and boy. The man s
name was Charles Lundy and the boy
was his SON. The fellow was a bar
Der and as Mr.. Sullivan was needing
one badly, Lundy was employed and
gave good satisfaction as long as he
worked. He claimed that his home
was at Richmond but that he was sep
arated from his wife.
On Monday of last week he receiv-
ed telephone message from Redkey,
Ind, and told Sullivan that he wanted
10 90 to Cincinnati on Tuesday. to
send the boy to Richmond, and that
he would bring his sister down TO
keep house for him. OF course. you
know, he needed a little money to
make the trip on and would Mr.. Sui
livan be kind enough to advance him
few dollars until he could get
back? Sullivan smelled a mouse but
concluded to chance it anyway.
Lundy also thought it would be a
GOOD plan TO take along about four
razors to have ground. but after he
had gone, Sullivan found the number
had increased to five. with Il pair of
shears thrown in for good measure.
I.undy was To he back on Thursday
night sure. but he didn come, and
there ends the story unless Mr.. Sui
livan can learn of his whereabouts.
when in all probability there will be
something doing
There are al least two other par

Lundy. ID. b. JAYNE. $3.50 worth.
