Services Will Be Held In
Chapel To-day.

Nearly a dozen ladies and gentle
men have arranged to hold religion S
services with the men behind the
bars at the Evansville branch pen
etentiary to-day. The crowd will
consist of representatives from near
ly all the churches in the city. They
will be entertained by Warden Ha-

These gentlemen always do their
best toward visitors generally. but
are particularly kind to the people
who often leave their homes during
the feasting and festivities Of Christ
mas and at their own expense go to
Eddyville to point the unfortunates
there to higher and better life. 1t
is gratifying to know that the results
Of many years work are so great
that prison officials often insist on
such services being held among the
convicts, as those who are influenced
are more tractable and are more
trusted than the others.

ADDITIONSiNOW
NUMBER rs.
Baptist Revival Continues
With Greatly Increasing
Interest.
TWO SERVICES TO-DAY.
Another Children's Meeting
Is Planned AS Special
Feature Saturday.

Up to Tuesday night the Baptist
revival had resulted in 26 additions
to the church and many more con-
versions. DR.. Jenkins sermon Tues
day night was on repentance and his
appeal to sinners was unusually
strong. There were half a dozen
conversions and ten additions to the
church following it. The congrega-
tons continue large and many find
it necessary to occupy seats in the
Sunday School rooms.
The meeting will continue today
without interruption, services being
held morning and evening as usual.
The meetings will continue through
out the week and Saturday both
services will be merged into one,
especially for children, at 3 o'clock.
DIR. Jenkins says that while this
meeting is for children under 16
years of age, the colder children
will be permitted to occupy the rear
seats.
The Improvements around the
church have been completed and the
new pavements are free from build
ing material and Instructions. The
new concrete pavements surround
tie church on three sides and there
are rows Of concrete hitching posts
ion two sides, made into the pave

nominations are attending the SER

HIS SECOND MAN.
Marion Allen Kills Ed. Hard
wick In a Drunken Spree.

Marion Allen was arrested on a
warrant issued by Esq. Whitson and
lodged in Jail by constable John
Hanks Sunday night, charged with
the wilful murder of Ed. Hardwick,
says the Madisonville Hustler.
According to the most reliable re-
port of the affair, Allen, Hardwick
and others were in the grove near
the town of White Plains engaged
in drinking and card playing. The
men had no falling out, but Allen
tossed single tree on the ground
and dared Hardwick to pick it up.
AS Hardwick reached down for the
single tree Allen fired, striking
Hardwick in the shoulder and rang
ing downward, killing him almost
instantly.
1t therefore seems to have been
the result of a drunken spree more
than anything else. Hardwick was
an inoffensive fellow, and his worst
fault was the habit of drinking to
excess.
1t will be remembered that Allen
killed young man by the name of
Hanks about year ago, but was
cleared on the plea of self-defense.

lively. They will be held prospect
i've of rain, snow, cold or whatever
other ordinary phases the weather
may assume. It is also expected
that the interest in them will not
permit the attendance to be serious
ly affected by such circumstances.
One of the deacons, a prominent
Main street business man, has signi-
fled his purpose to close for the day
that he may attend. Parents of the
church are expected to send their
children over ten years of age, as
the educational value of the rally is
immense.
The "possum" luncheon at the
Hill House for President Mclean,
the missionaries and the local pas
tors is exciting interest, especially
among the local pastors.

No Interest Rebate,

Attorney General Baird read the in
terview with o. r. Butterfield, Michi-
gan Central attorney. in which the lat
ter stated that he did not believe the
state would insist on the payment of
the interest of l per cent a month on
the unpaid balance of railroad taxes
for three years, as provided in the adj
valorem tax law recently sustained,
and made this comment:
II do not know of anyone who has
power TO rebate any of the interest
except the legislature and | do not
know Of any reason why any of the
interest should be rebated. | haven't
heard of the state rebating any inter-
est on the taxes of an individual who
may have contested some phase Of
the tax law or who was too poor to pay
them at the time fixed by law.
If no rebate Of interest is gwen to
individuals it should not be given TO
corporations. If the state does not re-
bate the interest for the poor man
who cant pay it ought not to rebate
to the corporation who can pay and
won't"

THE RATE BILL SEEMS TO
BE BETWEEN TWO
FIRES.
THE MARGIN FOR PASSAGE OF
BILL LOOKS VERY NARROW,
HENCE THE DELAY.
THE HOUSE GETTING BUSY NOW
WORKS SATURDAY ON AN
APPROPRIATION BILL.
Neither Side Confident.

The reason that no agreement has
yet been reached for a vote on the
railroad rate bill in the senate is that
neither side yet feels confident OF hav-
ing enough votes to win. There are
fifty-fve active Republicans in the SEN
ate and thirty-three Democrats, a to-
tai of lightweight votes. Any closely
contested proposition, therefore, re-
quires forty-five votes TO succeed.
Neither Senator Tillman. who is IN
charge of the rate bill from the house,
which is Endorsed in its main features
by the president, nor the conservative
senators headed by Aldrich. Knox ana
Spooner. are yet satisfied that either
side has those forty-five votes corral
led.
The two main issues are the scope
of the possible proceedings in court,
after the interstate commerce commits
sion has decided that a certain rail-
road rate is unjust, and whether, pend
ing litigation in court. the decision of
the interstate commerce commission
shall remain in effect or not.

Mount Vesuvius is a colossal braZier

ashes from the crater of the volcano.
Torrents of liquid fire, resembling in

nations and earth-tremblings while a
pail of sulphurous smoke that hovers
over all makes breathing difficult.

these have been RACED, they dash into
the wells, as though seeking TO slake

Witte With the People.

A panic has been created in govern
ment circles by the surprising strength
developed by the Constitutional Demo
Gratis in the elections, which may have
Immediate and dramatic consequences.
The issue between reaction and reform
which has been hanging in the balance
has been Unexpectedly precipitated by
Premier Witte. The elections have
greatly strengthened the premiers
hand in his fight against the reaction
lists, and he now feels strong enough
to challenge Gen. TTepoff and Minister
OF the Interior Durnoyo and the entire
reactionary cabal.
The premier seems to have aligned
himself on the side of the people. In
effect he told the emperor that he re
garded the situation as desperate and
that the time had come TO choose be-
tween himself and Interior Minister
Durnovo and counseled his majesty
not only to accept the result of the
elections, but to anticipate any demand
on the part of the lower house of par
lament for constitution by the issu.
ance of a constitution before parlia-
ment convened and at the same time
mark his change OF policy by the proc
lamation of general amnesty at Easter.

A New Problem.

Just at present state officials are
considerably concerned to determine
just what is the best way to preserve
the money 10 come in from the great
railroad tax levy as ordered by the
United States supreme court, as over
100000 of it is available for pri-
mary school purposes. There are over
200 school districts in the state which
have not expended all the primary
school funds allotted to them and the
directors find that the money is IN
creasing on their hands every year. In
fact it is asserted by State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction p. n.
Kelley and other state officers that the
next legislature will have to face the
task of making changes in the school
laws to meet new conditions and they
say that one of the biggest things the
constitutional convention will have to
handle will be that of revising the or.
ganic school law.
