THE BIG REVIVAL. Evangelist Eichelbereer preaching to big crowds Daily. A Great Inter.
 est Manifested.

The revival services told of in las weeks ARGUS continue to draw the people daily and the interest is ap. peasantly growing.
 The services on Sunday morning and evening were largely attended no withstanding the fact that the usua services were announced for nearly all of the other churches of the city. On Sunday night every available seat in the building was taken, while some stood and many turned away. The great crowd numbered fully 500 people and was undoubtedly the big gest audience ever assembled to hear the gospel preached in the history cf the city of Brinkley.
 Interest in the services and the at tendance is growing daily and indica- lions are that the same great wave of enthusiasm and revival will shake Brinkley as it is doing other cities and towns.
 Dr EicheIberger. the evangelist. has wonderful power in his work. His sermcns have afforded food fer thought and deep study. and his methods are altogether different to those of any other evangelist that has ever held meeting in Brinkley. He is quiet and easy, yet powerful in his wonderful knowledge of the scriptures and ability to explain the way of the cross to his attentive audiences. The quiet attention given the doctor by his audiences reveals their ceep iE- tcrest in his words. This was re- markedly noticeable on Sunday night while he was preaching to the great aAdience-theFe was at times, a dead stiffness and every person present seemed Intent on catching the very faintest expression of the speaker. So 1t has been all thro' the meetings.
 pr. Eichelbereer's ability to pair pictures with words. gesture and pressicn. reveal a remarkable gift ana talent. It is most fortunate that this great talent and ability which so moves the hearts and lives of men, is consecrated to the Masters cause.
 Scores of people have been con yicted and many have accepted the Christ as thei, Saviour.
 .'The service last night. while not 50 iafgely attended was of exceptional and some g or 10 people were converted while fully score asked for prayer.
 pr. Eicheibefger ahhaanced gen. eral Christian rally service for IL o'clock Sunday morning at which he will preach from his favorite text. Judging from the great crowds that have enjoyed his sermons tits safe to predict great meeting at the Sunday services.
 "FoR MEN ONLY
 On Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock a service for MEN ONLY will be held and every man in Brinkley is cordially invited to attend.
 On account of the church seats. organ and piano of the lst Presby- 'terian Church being at the revival. the Sunday school will be held at 9:30 o'clock, down town at the revival hall.
 Every member of the school is ex- pected 10 be on hand at 9:3O. A full attendance is desired.

COUNCIL MEETING Farrell Light, Heat a Water Apply for Extension of Franchise Contract.
Municipal Ownership Ad- vocated..Council Meets
 Again Monday Night

The regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held Tuesday night, Mayor T. H. Jackson presiding. All the members of. the Council were present. An oral petition was presented from the Gszzola Grocery. Co. asking per mission to erect shed of gwen di- dimensions in the rear of Wolf @& Cos ware house. The petition was de tnied. A written petition from she Farrell Light. Heat and Water Co. was read. The petition recites that the Company had intended tc extend the water and light service, in compliance with the contract, during 1906 but excessive rains and unreasonable weather had interfered; that the poles for the ex- tension of the light service were now ready and the wire was on the road; that they expected car of pipe for the mains In the early part of March; that the Company expsctei to com plete both the light and water system before the close of this year, therefore asked an extension of the contract to Jan 1. 1908.
 Several Aldermen spoke on different phases of the franchise situation whether it is best to renew the contract. modify, or change it. or to take steps for municipal ownership.
 Alderman Whitson favored muni- cipal ownership and made a strong argument showing the advantages of municipal ownership over the franchise system. He favored going before the Legislature and asking that body to authorize the city 10 issue bonds for the purpose of acquiring complete | light and water system for ths entire city.
 In order to get the matter before the Council for further and more ex- tensive and careful consideration. Ald. Strong made motion to instruct | the Ordinance Committee to draw up an ordinance extending the fran chise contract and to report the same at the next meeting of the Council. Next Monday night was set for a meeting to again take the matter up.
 This week committee is to con- fer with the Farrell Light, Heat and Water Co. to ascertain their attitude in the event a decision is made for municipal ownership.
 An Ordinance was introduced pro viding for the revision of the City Digest. It was referred to the Ordi- nance Committee to be considered and reported back to the Coun cil. The following accounts were read and allowed:

Porto Rico's New Governor.

Porto Rieo's New Governor.
Regis H. Post of New York has been
appointed by the president to succeed
Beekman Winthrop as governor Of
Porto Rico, and Winthrop has been
called home to be assistant secretary OF
the treasury.
Stops Gifts to Railroads.
The last official act Of Postmaster
General Cortelyou before he went to
take up his new duties as secretary of
the treasury was to abolish the system
by which the railroads have profited
100000 year-namely, by adopting
the reformed system of weighing the
mails which had been unsuccessfully
advocated in congress. Under this plan
the actual number of days the mails
are carried will be used as the divisor
in determining the average weight car
ried in day. This was something Of
a shock to the railroad lobbyists who
measure before congress, and there Is
some talk Of resisting the order In the
Aourts.
Other Cshintt Charges.
Immediately after the adjournment
of congress the reorganization OF the
cabinet was effected. George Won l..
Meyer OF Massachusetts was sworn In
as postmaster general in place Of Cor
tciyou. the latter taking charge at the
treasury and Secretary Shaw retiring
James r. Garfield took Htchcock's
place rs secretary Of the interior.

NJ. Golovin was elected president. Go.
lovin appeared to be il touch with the
spirit of the new douma and was APP
plauded on all sides when he said that
the principle of popular representation,
once called into life, could never die.
Golovin has been president Of the
Moscow zemstvo for many years and
is Constitutional Democrat. Later in
the day the council of the empire, OF
upper house. was convened, Baron
Frisch presiding.
The Right, or conservative parties,
were able TO muster only 102 votes for
their candidate, whereas Ne Left. or
parties in opposition to the govern
ment, cast $50 votes for Golovin Most
of the 450 members appeared 10 be ia
the prime Of life, less than fifty being
more than fifty years old and dozen
not thirty. The converting of the dou-
ma was characterized with great out
ward calmness, while in the streets
proletariat and students created dem
onstration which caused several seri-
GUS encounters with the police. After
the adjournment Of, the session pro-
cession numbering close to 10000 with
red banners and singing revolutionary
songs, started toward the center of the
city. The procession was dispersed by
repeated charges of mounted police
armed with whips. Finally a large
force Of Cossacks armed with lances

Word comes from London that the
resignation Of Sir Alexander Swetten-
ham, former governor Of Jamaica. has
become an accomplished fact. 1t is
said that nine days after the incident"
which astonished England and Amer
lea Sir Alexander asked permission to
retire on the ground OF age. In the
correspondence which followed be-
tween himself and the colonial Office
the door was left open for the govern
or to- reconsider his decision, but it is
authortatively announced that he has
definitely decided not to continue at
his post, but will leave Jamaica as soon
as his affairs can be arranged.
Sabbath Law IT, Canada.
The new Lord'a day act went into
force last wees throughout Canada
with the exception of the province OF
Quebec. Some OF the things prohib-
tied on Sunday by this act are: Public
entertainments given for money, base
ball, football, gambling, racing, hunt
ing, shooting. fishing, the sale Of intox
icating liquors except by physician's
prescription between tie hours of

bill was passed by parliament some OF
the members from Quebec having pro
tested, clause was added permitting
such provincial legislatures as wished
to do so to evaJe the law by enactine
measure of their own. The Quebec
legislature was the only one TO take
advantage of this by passing n bill

lions Some complaints as to the strin-
gency of the new law are reported on
the part of travellers.
Women Win Bannerman.
1t is reported from London that
Prime Minister Sir Henry CampbeK
Zimmerman, who has hitherto refused
to receive populations of suffragettes,
has stated that he would support the
Dickinson suffrage bill with much
pleasure when 1t came up for ac-
ton in the house of commons. His
attitude is strictly personal and does
not commit the cabinet some of the
most active members Of which are
opponents of women's suffrage. In
this connection it is interesting to note
That q committee of the women's anti
outrage movement has written to the
prime minister, claiming that a major
ity of the British women do not want
the franchise granted to them.
Unionists Sweep London
tons of members of the London coun-
BY council the Unionists, under the
name of municipal reformers, achieved
substantial victory, having gained
forty three seats. This is taken as
foreshadowing a marked reversal OF
the policy which has been followed by
the Progressives during their twenty
years tenure of Office Of extending the
municipal industries.
England For Disarmament.
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman contributes to the Nation,
the Liberal weekly, an article on The
Hague conference in which he rebuts
the objections to raising the question
Of limitation of ornaments, contend
ing that nothing has occurred since
1898 to render inopportune or mis-
chievous the reduction of ornaments
which was then recognized as desira-
bic. On the contrary, he says the pas
sage of years has only served to
strengthen the impression of 1893 that
the endless multiplication of engines
that what was then a suspicion that
no limit, could be set to the struggle
for sea power save by the process of
economic exhaustion has now become
something like a certainty. He as
serts that Great Britain has already
given an earnest of her sincerity by
reducing her naval and military eX-
penditures and by undertaking to go
further If a similar disposition is
shown elsewhere.
French Teachers Federating.
Schoolmasters in Paris and other
large cities Of France have been form
ing themselves into syndicates or I'M
ions which are affiliated with the Cen
eral Labor federation. The movement
was instigated by the Socialists, and
the teachers do not conceal that their
purpose is to spread Socialistic doc
trines. Thus the problem is presented
of schools supported by the whole
people becoming the instrument Of one
political party. Special legislation
may be necessary.

Waters Pierce Oil company.
Adams Jury Disasrees.
The jury at Wallace, Ida, which has
been trying the case of Steve w. Ad-
ans, charged with the murder of Fred
Tyler, a claim agent, reported a dis
agreement. This was taken as some
thing of victory for the Western
Federation Of Miners, whose former
officers, Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, were awaiting trial for the MUIR
der of Ex-Governor Steunenberg OF
Idaho. The prosecution had depended
very largely on confession made by
Adams to cOrroborate the confession
by Orchard of conspiracy with the
officers of the federation to procure the
murder Of Steunenberg. This confess
sion he repudiated on the stand.
Thaw's Mother a Witness.
Contrary to expectation, District At

species of mental disease. DR.. Evans
characterized this mental condition as
that of a brain storm"
Great sentimental interest in the
case was revived when the defense
called Mrs. William Thaw, the white
haired mother of the prisoner, to the
stand. She told of her sons infatua-
ton for Miss Nesbt and It's unsettling
effect on his mind and how she had ac-
cepted the inevitable when marriage
was insisted upon. Much to her sur
prise and disappointment, Mrs. Thaw
was not allowed to tell of the heredi-
tary faint Of insanity. Several times
she broke down, and the court waited
for her to recover her composure. Her
testimony ended the defense.
