gFIRE ALARM
Saturday Night Caused Great
Excitement.

AN alarm of fire was turned in
Saturday night little before G
O'Clock. The department answered
the call promptly and made quick
run to the residence of Rev. E.
Williams, at the head of North Lib
erty street, but the fire had been put
out before the department arrived.
In the light of what had occurred
at Princeton and numerous absurd
rumors Of threats of visit to the
city, large crowds rushed out from
their homes in the stygian darkness,
expecting to see the rising of the
curtain for repetition of the Prince
ton outrage.

The Jenlzens Revival the
Greatest in History of
Baptist Church.
"a ADDITIONS
TO CHURCH.
The Services Will Continue
Throughout This
Week.

The revival at the Baptist church
will continue this week and most
probably close at the end Of the week.
1t is now entering upon it's fourth
week, but DR.. Jenkens shows no signs
of exhaustion from preaching twice
a day, and often three or four times.
Sunday his capacity for hard work
was shown by remarkable series of
meetings. He conducted a sunrise
prayer meeting at Z o'clock in the
morning, addressed the Sunday
school at 10 o'clock, preached at IL
o'clock, conducted a funeral service
at 2p. M, preached at great gath
ering of men at p. M, and held the
usual service at z p. m. His re-
sources seem inexhaustible and his
health is even improving in this
GLORIOUS climate of Kentucky" in
spite of the severe labors of constant
preaching for three weeks.
The Sunday afternoon service was
a great personal tribute to the popu-
lar preacher. The Elks attended in
body, having notified him of their
desire to do so, in a letter thanks
adopted by the Lodge because of the
postponement of the mems meeting
to avoid aconfiict with the memorial
services a week before. He began
by thanking this noble order for the
courtesy of the presence of so many
of its members, despite the rainy
weather. The audience of men and
boys filled both rooms of the church.
DR.. Jenkens took as his subject the
sins of Ahbaz and preached from the
text: They were the ruin of him
and all Israel" Like all of his ser.
mons, it was powerful appeal to all
sinners in the kindest and most
loving language, not one word of
abuse or censure for even the most
hardened Of sinners. The additions
to the church up to yesterday had
reached the total of "a, surprising
all revival records in the church.
Many years ago Sid Williams held
meeting that resulted in 70 additions
to the church, which was the largest
number ever taken in at one meeting.
Many of the converts were college
girls, whose homes were elsewhere.
but this time nearly'all of the con-
verts are Hopkinsville people. There
are yet others who will join and the
"Jenkens revival" will go down in
the history of the church as the great
est ingathering in the 80 years since
its organization. DR.. Jenkens him
self joined the church Sunday morn
ing and when the vote was taken it
seemed that every person in the
church held up a hand.
There are more than so converts to
be baptized and a part of them will
be baptized tonight and the rest
Thursday night.

NEW TRAIN

Next Year.

The new train from Hopkinsville
to Evansville, which was spoken of
in our issue of last Friday, may not
be put on for a while yet. An in

day failed to elicit definite informa-

learned, will positively be put on,
but it may be deferred until the first

There is considerable talk at the
courthouse Of asking the legislature to
create an additional judgeship for the
district of Hennepin county. It has
gone so far that several we'll informed
persons declare that bill with such
a provision will be presented.
1t has been the general impression

latter feature is the one that anneals
to the general public, as many persons
indicted by. the grand jury and unable
to give bail are kept in jail several
months to await trial, altho they are
anxious for speedy trial and imme-

all accused persons are entitled to
