NEW FASHIONED
DEVIL APPEARS

What sounded ike female voice
telep6oned to this Office at 7 80
o'clock Monday afternoon the fol-
lowing mysterious message:
seThere is a home in the suburbs
of ClarEsburg that is tortured BY a
new fashioned devil. "
That Is all there was to- the mes
sage. The one who teIephoned de-
clined to say more or to go into any
details. She merely said: sEPub-
lish that and it Will be sufficient"
The Telegram has not the slight
est idea what the import of the mes
sage Is, but doubtless there is some
new fad in religious belief or prac-
tice. and, if so. the same viii likely
be revealed within a short time, as
it is hard to hide ones light under
a bushel on the hills that go to make
up part of the city

Or. SEVADENER
WILL LECTURE

DIR. Madison Swadener, poPu-
lar lecturer of the Middle West, will
appear as the third number on the
Epworth League entertainment
course in Golf Methodist church on
Tuesday evening of next week In
view of the fact that fifty cents he's
been charged for admission to each
of the two preceding numbers, the
committee has decided to even up
matters by charging but twenty-five
cents for admission to the third one
thus thus making it possible for whole
families to attend at small expense;
The reduced charge, however, will
so augment the Attendance that It
will be necessary to limit the num-
her of tickets sold, therefore every
body who desires to attend should
purchase tickets at once. The same
can be had of several members of the
League. or obtained at the office OF
DIR. Andrews in the Jacobs building.
