identified with the State Normal
School at Warrensburg; and has been
a very useful and influential brother.
In January 1870. a daily prayer
meeting was held, 'the special object
Of which was to pray for wisdom and
grace to enable US to overcome all the
obstacles in the way Of exercising a
christian fellowship one toward
another, and also to maintain a
healthy state Of discipline"
In January 1870, Rev Mr.. Hysler,
a German Baptist Preacher, settled ia
Lexington; and the church raised
$3.50 to enable him to preach the
gospel among the Germans here aud
10 contiguous territory, MOrever,the
church asked the General Association
to help them in carrying on this good
work.

relieved from obligation to preach to
the Germans In this city, he feeling

prayer for the brother, assuring him
of their love and sympathy, and
asking that God might direct him
and endow him with wisdom and
grace to do his duty.

In 1852 several brethren turned
t%heOlOgians, and for several meetings
discussed and tried to amend the
articles Of faith of the church. But
their efforts were %unavaillng, and the
church unanimously reafirmed its
articles Of faith.
In January, 1853, DR.. Buckingham
moved the adoption Of the following
resolution regarding dancing, IRE
solved that we as a church consider
dancing either in public or private In
consistent with the Christian profess
SIGN, and subject OF discipline, +"
which resolution was adopted.

PRAYER MEETING as far as the records
show was established January Goth,
1856.

sent to the Blue River Association
for District Missions the munlfcent
sum Of Sl33.
The death of Pastor Tyre C.
Harris of typhoid fever in the summer
Of 1854, after only about two months
service as pastor, was a great calamity
to the church. He was comparatively
a young man, pious, consecrated,
influential and eloquent, and his early
departure for the better world is one
OF those mysteries OF providence that
we cannot solve in this world, but we
must await till God is pleased to re-
veal the re4sDns for His actions in
another world.
In 1856 our church adopted a regu-
lar schedule for taking missionary

Cowgirls Challenge Cowboys.

CONSERVATION has been created among
the cowboys OF the Rocky Mountain re-
gion who have entered or are planning to
participate in tho championship rough
riding contest during the great frontier
celebration in Cheyenne on September Cd,
4th and 5th, by the announcement made
by Miss Bertha Kaepernlck, of Sterling,
Col, who has calmly entered the great
bucklng and pitching events as II this
was an net of no particular Importance.
For the first time In history Of frontier
events, this year the fair and charming
cowgirs will meet In open competition
for the title of the champion rough-rider
of\thc world the intrepid knights Of the
plain, who have heretofore had only
male opponents. The Frontier Commit
tee announces that four. and probably
more women will enter the lists this
year, and that the first 10 pay her entry
fee is Miss Bertha Kacpernlck the dash
ing and accomplished Colorado cowgirl.
Mrs. Harry Brennan. of Sheridan, wife
of the champion rough-rider Of the world.

Ing and the novel sight will be witness
ed of h man and his wife competing for
the title of worlds best rider. Two north
ern Colorado girls also indicated their
desire TO enter, and Is expected the
Initiative by Miss Kaepernlck will be fol-
lowed by others.
Miss Knepernick was q frontier visitor
last year, and during the celebration. In
response to n challenge, jokingly made by
one OF her friends mounted and broke
an outlaw horse, to tho Intense delight
OF twenty thousand people, gathered at
Frontier Park. This year her riding will
not be in the form Of m exhibition. but

WASHINGTON y. c.. September g.
DR.. David Il. Salmon, chief OF tho Bureau
OF Animal Industry OF the Agricultural
Department, has rendered his resigna-
tlon, and 1t has been accepted to take
effect on October list.
Tho resignation was announced py sec
rotary Wilson Ut noon Today, but nc de-
clincd to state whether the severance IS
due to the charges flied recently against
Or. Salmon. These charges rotated 70
the connection which Dr.. Salmon had mad
with George u. Howard In the pruning
business. and which later resulted IN tho
organization Of the Howard Label Cons
pnny which holds the contract FOR sup
plying meat inspection tags to"the gov
ernment. The relations of Or. salmon
and MIR. Howard were investigated ~
Solicitor McCnbc, OF the Department OF
Agriculture, and tho doctor was cxoner-
ated, It having been shown that he with
drew from the company soon after the
first contract was received from the gov
eminent. Charges were preferred against
DR.. Salmon also In connection with the
meat inspection service. He was exon
Grated also on these charges 4 but the
report was not accepted rs satisfactory
by the packing concerns whose appilch-
tons for meat inspection had been de-
MED.
While tho announcement was made that
the resignation was purely voluntary,
there Is we'll authenticated rumor that
President Roosevelt was not satisfied with
the conditions shown by the investigation.
