Last Friday Rev. w. Nj. Shepperd was here and
spoke before the Y. M. c. A. and Il large audience
of Villagers and visitors. Every who heard
him is glad that he had the privilege of hearing
him. Certainly it is a wonderful account he gives
of his experiences perils and work i'm the Dark
Continent, and the Christian cannot doubt that
God raised him for this marvellous display of His
grace and His protecting providence.

CHILDRENS DAY FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS
The Executive Committee of Foreign Missions
has decided to ask the children of the Church this
year, in connection with the observance of Chill
dren's Day, to complete and carry on the COOL
work, which they began and i'm which they have
done so noby. We refer to the building of the
Congo boat. A boat about twice the size of the
one that first built has been completed at the
ship yards of Renfrew, Scotland and forwarded
by steamer and railway Leopoldville. The
smallest construction price at which it was found
practicable to build such steamer as would really
do our work and be safe for navigating the Congo
River $4,000. The cost of shipping this
steamer to Africa and other incidental expenses
added to the construction price, have about taken
up the whole of the Congo Boat Fund amounting
to something over $4,000 which has been contri-
buted up to the present time The amount neces-
sary to reconstruct the steamer at Ieopoldvfle
ana to pay its running expenses for a wear can
only be approximately estimated For this MIR
pose we have decided to ask the children TO CON
tlbuate this year the Of 10000 We simpIv
make this preliminary announcement at the pres
ent time. Literature mite boxes and evorvtbin,

FLOODS SWEEP WEST VIRGINIA.
People Wade Waist Deep to Safety
Barber Shop Carried Away.

heavy wind and rain storm resem-
bling waterspout passed over the south
eastern portion of West Virginia Tues
day, flooding Cherry, Holly and elk riv-
ers and carrying away bridges, houses
and many million feet of valuable timber.
In Redwood the water rose five feet in
the houses and three feet in the waiting
room of the passenger station. The water
came up so suddenly that men, women
and children had to wade waist deep out
of their homes to the mountain top. At
Curtin a barber shop, with all its fur
niture and fittings, went down with the
current, every chair remaining in its
place. Over twelve miles of the Holly
River and Addison railroad was washed
away. The losses will aggregate hundreds
of thousands of dollars. A report that
fifteen lives were lost was not confirmed.

House PASSES Measure by Vote @

House Passes Measure by Vote of

hood bill passed the House, and the
fight was ut once transferred TO the
Senate. The end of the instruction
against President Roosevelt. Speaker
Cannon and the House organization
was peaceful. The vote upon the
passage of the bill was perfunctory,
there being no excitement whatever.
The galleries were crowded, but the
attendance upon the floor was not as
large as the preceding day, when the
opposition attempted to prevent the
adoption of the rule for the considera-
ton of the bill.
Philippine tariff reform, Statehood
for the remaining Territories of the
mainland and railroad rate legislation
the three subjects Of greatest con-
Germ at the beginning OF the Fifty
ninth Congress-have now been put up
to the uncertain Senate.
The Statehood bill, which in its
present form proposes u erect Okla
homa and Indian Territory into one
State and Arizona and New Mexico
into another, has been thrashed over
in all its aspects for several years.
The desirability of admitting the two
first-named Territories to joint State
hood is nowhere questioned. Oklahoma
has advanced rapidly and promises to
become a wealthy. influential and pro-
gressive State. Whatever may be said
against the joint admission of Arizona
and New Mexico, many think that they
should come in together, if at all.
Neither is sufficiently developed TO
merit Statehood alone, and the idea of
giving such sparsely settled common
wealths a senatorial representation of
four in Congress is declared to be pre-

ANARCHIST BAND BROKEN UP.

Leaders of Gang Which Plotted
Assassinatfon Are Arrested.
Not since the hanging Of the Molly
Maguires in Central Pennsylvania has
more dangerous gang been broken UP
than that which has terrorized resi-
dents of Washington County, Pennsyi-
vania, for some time. Two ringleadet S
arr now under arrest, warrants are out
for three more and warrants will be
sworn out against thirty-tbPee others
by District Attorney Owen Underwood.
Revelations following the raid on
anarchistic headquarters at Baird, Pa,
are of character to shock the Ameri-
murders were planned by the anarch-
istic group at Baird and at Patersox.
n. j. In two cases the men marked
for assassination have been assassin
ted. In other cases the plans to ki.l
the Governors Of Pennsylvania AMI
Ohio and other public men had beef
completed when the police authoritiaJ
took action.
The anarchists in this case are Ital-
ians, but they plot against men Of theil
own nationality as we'll as against ma
tive Americans. They strike at the
Republican Governor of Pennsylvania
and at the same time lay plans to as
sassinate the newly elected Democatic
Governor of Ohio.
In some cases they demand money
In others they plan assassination With
out reference to the character Or poll
tics of the public officials to be assassf-
mated. Operating on one line they i'll
timidate or rob men of meals, and OPP
Grating on another line they seek to
terroriZe a nation of S0,0O0,OOO people
by assassination of State and National
officers.
In other words, few hundred men
driven from the country of their birth
or coming to the United States to en-
joy greater freedom or to secure more
lucrative employment assume the right
to rob and the power to rule, through
intimidation and murder, the people
of the country that gives them shelter
and employment. The declared pur-
pose of the Baird and Paterson auarch-
lists is to abolish republican form of
government and exterminate public Of
ficials from President down.
