er. He is plain. forceful and practical,
and breaches plain gospel.
Sunday was one Of the best days that
this church has ever had. In the
morning Mr.. Barker preached to con-
gregatioa that filled the church to the
doors. In the afternoon he addressed
Il large audience of men on Sowing
and Reaping.' 1t was one of the
cleanest talks to men ever delivered
here. In the evening long before the
hour Of service every available spot In
the large audience room was filled to
the doors when he preached strong
evangeistic sermon which moved the
vast audience. Between forty and fifty
were converted Sunday and the work
has cnly just begun. The singing is
under the leadership of the Rev. ID. C.
Perry. who has a large chorus choir.
The whole t0Wr seems to feel the
influence OF the meetings. They will
continue two weeks more.

child was burned to death here yes
terday. and the terrible calamity has
saddened the community. In the af-
ternoon while Mrs. Joe Scovill. of this
city, was at one Of her neighbors, the
house in which they lived caught fire
and burned to the ground. she had
left her two children ages two and four
at home, and had only been gone a
short time when James Murray was re-
turning to his work at the power house
and as he went by the place saw that
the house was on fire. He at once
entered the house and found to his sur
prise that there were only the two
children in there, and one of them was
so badly burned that 1t died In a short
time after being removed. An alarm
was given, but Of no avail as the fire
had gotten under such Roadway. The
house was owned by the w. w. john
son estate, and was valued at about
$500. Besides this Mr.. Scovill lost all
he had. He Is a hard working man
and the loss to him, in addition to his
child, is about $500, of which $40 was In
cash, that he had In the house at the
time Of the fire.

Bayard, Nov. 15.-Last Sunday night
Thompson's chophouse was burglarized
by some one who gained entrance by
window.
The thieves secured a valuable
watch and about $40 for their trouble.
The matter was kept profound secret
until bloodhounds COULD be secured and
put on the trail of the robbers.
G. w. Hoffmire, of Knoxville. Iowa,
was sent for and he arrived at Z o'clock
this morning with his celebrated
bloodhounds. After brief rest the
dogs were put to work and In less than
fifteen minutes had landed their quarry
who proved to be young lad about
sixteen years of age who upon being
promised that he would not be prose-
cuted returned the property to its
owner
There has been number of petty
thievings In this vicinity recently, and
1t is hoped that this will prove n
wholesome example to others who have
been suspected and doubtless who are
guilty.
Last evening about o'clock the fire
alarm called our citizens to a blaze In
the warehouse located In the rear OF
w. II. Strauzr's hardware store. One
of Mr.. Strauzr's clerks, Gus Mays, went
to the building to draw some gasoline
and 1t being quite dark he struck n
match to see IL he had the measure
full, with the usual result. After a
bout thirty minutes hard work the fire
was controlled with very light damage
to property. A fifty gallon tank full
of gasoline was in the thickest Of the
fire. but fortunately it did not explode,
otherwise we would have had big
to chronicle, as the burn
ed building stood in the very heart of
the business portion OF the little city.
