The Baptist Church.

Prosperity was occupied by the
State Mission Board Of South Caro-
lima in 1880.
The station was supplied with
preaching from 1880 to 1854 by Revs.
Paugh, Seymore, and Elllins.
The organization of church was
perfected the fourth Sunday in April,
1854, with membership of II, Rev.
n. b. Williams pastor. AT a meeting
one month later it was decided to
erect concrete building. In March,
1885, the church building was begun
and continued under many difficulties.
Much damage was done the building
by excessive rains and wind, and the
work was much delayed. The Rev.
w. B. Elkins took charge of the work
January 20, 1887. The church build
ing was completed in 1883. In Jan
uary, 1899, Rev. J. D. HIGGINS had
charge Of the work. He was succeed
cd in January, 1890, by Rev. H. ~.
Smith who served until November
3. 1891. In March, 1892, Rev. Mr..
Blanton took charge and served very
acceptahly until May, 1902, when he
resigned the work here to go to Gran
itcvi!lc. Hc was succeeded by Rev. J.
Fl. Pcarcy, who served the church un-
I'll 1908. Early in 1906 Rev.
Mitchell became pastor, and is scrv-
ing with satisfaction at this time.
The church building is the most sub
stantial in town and was one Of the
first concrete buildings erected in that
part of the: state. Too much credit
can not be given to Rev. w. B. ElliinS
for the part he bore in the erection
of this house of worship.

The Metodist church, which is now
one of the influential churches of
Prosperity, was organized as old Beth

in the troublous times of reconstruct

GRAND JURY
HAS INDICTED

Caldwell, Idaho, March z. - The
grand jury. which has been investigat-
ing the assassination of former Govern
or Frank Steunenberg, has made its re-
port to Judge Smith. Judge Smith
withheld the names of the persons in
dicted. 1t is stated, however, that the
six men under arrest and detained in
the state penitetniary at Boise are in
cluded in the indictments and that they
will be arraigned before Judge Smith.
1t is believed that special train will
be used to bring the men here from
Boise, as the officers fear that an at
tempt upon the life of Harry Orchard
or Steve Adams NAV be made if any
opportunity is offered. None of the de
PENDANTS were present in court when

This, it is reported from an authori-

inner circle" of the Western Fedora

ANOTHER SENSATION.
Boise Authorities Fear Because OF
Powder Robberies.

Another sensation, which many as
sert has connection with the Steunen'
berg murder case, was brought out
Saturday at Boise, Idaho. During the
evening the powder house of the East
man-Teller Hardware company was
broken into and a considerable quaint
ty of No. 1 giant powder taken. The
robbers did not break open the door,
but dug a hole through the back wall,
replacing the stones after taking the
powder. 1t is reported 400 pounds
were taken, but the company does not
think it nearly so much. The powder
house of the Idaho Hardware and
Plumbing company was also broken
open, but members of the company re-
fuse to state whether anything was
taken. An attempt was also made to
open the house of the Carlson-Lusk
company. Theft of the powder gives
rise to no little apprehension. The
suggestiveness of the theft Is empha-
sized by knowledge of the fact that
many of the worst characters of the
Occur d'Alenes and Cripple Creek are
gathered in Caldwell and other points
in Canyon county. A Silver City man
saw one of the most radical agitators
of his camp in Caldwell, and another
man from Silver City reports that
many of the radical union men have
quit work and left town. He thinks
they are in Canyon county. Officers
have recognized several hard charac-
tiers from Cripple Creek.
Threatening letters are numerous.
1t is said that persons connected with
the prosecution have been warned
One is said to have been advised he
will be dynamited unless the cases
against Meyer and Haywood are dis
missed.

REDS PREACH VIOLENCE.
Chicago Socialists Would Resort to

for the alleged murder of Governor

There were speakers who urged
revolution by means Of the ballot and
others who advised taking up arms to
avenge the death of the accused men
If they should be convicted and
hanged. Those who admonished ways
of peace to accomplish their ends were
heard in silence. Those who preach
ed violence and resort to arms were
wildly cheered agai nand again. The
temper of both meetings was plainly
In favor of radical action.
One of the speakers improvised
poetical platform, and when 1t was re-
cited there was great applause and
shouts of Good, good"
Here is the way the lines ran:
Will Meyer and Hayward die
If they die, here's our cry:
There are twenty million workingmen
Who will know the reason why"
A collection amounting to several
hundred dollars was taken to help the
accused defend themselves in the
courts.
