A Powerful Meefinu.

Perhaps the most attractive of all
the meetings during the entire Chris
tian church revival was the Monday
evening service. It was not a curious,
Indifferent crowd that came to rear
Mr.. Hamlin il his announced subject,
Judas and Other Judases,' but a
thoughtful and interested audience.
They were not disappointed, for the
popular evangelist preached a most
powerful and feeling sermon mat will
long be remembered By all who heard
it. Prof. Leonard D~augherty sang Paul
which was accompanied by Mrs. Mel
son and Miss Eva Nelson. Mr.. Daugh-
ertys music has accomplished much
good in the meetings. as he is n of
the few singers who sings with a pur-
pose-the salvation of mems souls.
His solo last evening was beautiful
in its sentiment, touching in its rem
dering and completely won the hearts
of its listeners. At the close of the
the pastor, c. c. Hill, made
a brief talk that was such an earnest
and direct appeal t. the hearts of his
people that they mentally resolved
to work for the remaining meetings
as never before.
Mr.. Hamlin will preach on, your
influence" this evening. This sermon
should be heard by a large number,

The fact that the people generally
do not know the great danger there
exists of c%ontagion in typhoid fever
vas brought out clearly in the Sanitary
investigation last night. Mr.. Watson,
a witness, asked the question quite
i~nnoce1tly OF the examiner, rs ty-
phoid fever contagious The positive
answer to this question was, Yes"
Then Mr.. Watson asked the question
why typhoid fever is not quarantined
as other contagious diseases. This was
not answered-in fact was lodged or
evaded, possibly because the expla1a-
ton would have taken up too much
time. Still the people are entitled to
know such things, and the Record
considers it the duty of reputable ply
sicians to write and publish such
information for the benefit of the
public. If the physicians themselves
neglect to furnish reliable iastruc-
lions in regard to sanitary matters,
how can they expect the layman TO
know the difference between good and
bad advice?

At a banquet in Freeport, Illinois
last week Mr.. Bryan spoke ON the vim
dication of the Democratic platform
since 1903. The Republican party,
said Mr.. Bryan, has been steadily fall
ing from popularity, and today but one
man can win the presidency, one who
will have to break away from prece-
dent and accept a third term, and one
who has only gained his popularity
by taking for his issue pIanks from
the Democratic platform. He pointed
out that the present financial strin-
gency was the result of turning down
~Democracy's bimetallism issue, and
declared that trusts, tariff and labor
arbitration problems were being solv-
ed according to the lines embraced
in Democratic platforms.

 Sarlo in Little Rock.

Little Rock, July 12 R. s. Daugherty, son-in-law of the late Col. W, H. Eagle, who killed Joe Sarlo in a Main street saloon in the summer of 1900, and was sent to the peni.entiary for fifteen years, was pardoned today after the largest petition of similar character ever presented to gov ernor.
 Sarlo had killed his man and the testimony of Daugherty's witness went to show that the killing was in self-defense.
 Gov. Jeff Davis and acting Governor John Ike Moore had re- fused the pardon. Bob Eagle, son of w. H. Esgle, brother of Daugherty's wife, will take him to the plantation in Lonoke coun ty and assures the governor he will not be seen in Little Rock again.

 The case is similar to the Missouri suit. In the Nebraska case the state acted first, the railroads asking for removal of the suit. The state sought injunctions to prevent the Union Pa cific. the Burlington, Missouri Pacific and Rock Island from disregarding the two-cent fare law, the minimum freight rate law, the anti-pass and railway commission acts passed by the last legislature. The railroad attorneys in sisted that the state was not a real party to the suit as it had no pecun- iary interest in the matter.

Congressman Mudd of the Defense, Appealed Successfully for the Jury to Uphold the Sanctlty of the Home-only Five Minutes Required to Reach Verdict.

La Plata, Md, July 13.-In five min utes after retiring verdict of ac- quittal was returned by the jury in the case of Mrs Bowie and her son, who were tried for the murder of Etl- bert Posey.
 The case was given to the jury at 12:25 D. m., and the court then took a recess.
 States Attorney Winners statement Thursday evening that the prosecu- tion would be satisfied win verdict of manslaughter was a surprise, and was met by the demand of former State Senator Posey, for the defense, that the jury either acquit or find the accused guilty of murder.
 Congressman Sidney E. Mudd, of counsel for the defense, in his ad- dress to the jury, disclaimed belief in the insanity of Mrs. Bowie or her son, though he declared that under the cir cumstances they should not be held responsible mentally or legally, for having killed Posey when he had re- fused to marry Mrs. Bowie daughter after betraying her.
