Evangelist John L. kittreI at the

Is Proving Himself to be Power
full Minister.

The evangelistic meetings at the
South Eighth Street Friends Church
are increasing in interest and several
persons have been converted or taken
a more decided stand for Christ.
Evangelist John L. Kittrell is a man
of long and extraordinary successful
service in this kind of work, and be-
ing native of Tennessee mountains,
his preaching is marked by the same
motive force and originality that char
acterized the late Sam Jones with Mr.
Kittren was intimately associated in
his early ministry, as we'll as with
Jones later companion, George Stew
art, with whom he held very success
full reviyalS in the Southland, result
ing in the conversion of thousands.
Services are held every evening at
the church at 1880 and also an in
formal conference at $50 for the help
of the unconverted and the encour-
agement and instruction of Christians
in matters of vital Importance to spir-
itual life and service.

TOUR OF THE ROAD.

The election of w E Bradford,
president of the C. c. & L Railway
Wisconsin Central few days ago has
given rise to the rumor that the lat
ter trunk line is soon to take over the
short line between Chicago and Gin
cinnati.
This story was given out little cred
ence at the time of the Wisconsin
Centrals election, but it is admitted
in railroad circles that there may be
some truth in the report as President
Bradford together with a number of
the officials of the Wisconsin Central
passed through Richmond Monday in
a special train. The officials were
making the trip from Chicago to Gin
cinnati.
Presumably on a tour of inspection.
The fact that the c. C. & L. has been
rushing its northern terminal into
Chicago is taken as evidence that an
effort is to be made to join the two
roads. 1t is understood that the COM
pany will also secure better terminal
facilities in Cincinnati.

chase of over 40 miles and after num-
erous battles with farmers, who at

alter holding up the Ladd bank, the
robbers drove to Peru, and at the
point of a revolver compelled the liy-
cry man to furnish another rig. They
passed through Lasalle and then the
pursuit began. The robbers drove
through four county townships with
police armed with rifles in close pur-
suit Farmers were compelled to fur
nish the robbers with fresh horses.
In Wallace township a lively ex-
change of shots were exchanged, but
the robbers took to the cornfields, Sc
cured a new team and escaped to
Sheridan, where they abandoned
horses, buggy and overcoats and
caught train, presumably for
Chicago.

at Laid, J. J. Hurley, was alone in the
bank when two men entered and ask

ployed on % of the railroads entering
Chicago, will go on strike in an effort
the demands presented by the men
two weeks ago. The railroads are
firm in the stand they took at that
time, that they will not grant more of
an increase than two cents an hour.
at meeting held between represent
tatives of the labor organization and
the managers of the various roads af-
fected, the strike ultimatum was de-
livered by the switchmen. The orig
inal demand of the switchmen was for
an S-hour day and an increase of 10
cents an hour. For the last two weeks
negotiations have been in progress
between the railroads and the switch
men with the result that, although the
demand for an S-hour day was drop
ped, the men are still determined in
their demand for the 10-cent increase
The men declare that they have the
moral support of other trainmen, who
have also made demands and that a
strike will effectually tie-up all rail-
roads entering Chicago. The situa-
tin is regarded as serious, for should
the strike be called it will affect every
railroad from Buffalo to the Pacific
coast
