For four weeks Evangelist ID.
G. Blunt of Rantoul, Illinois, and
Prof. G. W. Harlan of Etna Green,
Indiana, havea been conducting
revival meetings at the Baptist
church in this city. From the
very beginning large audiences
were in attendance, aud time after
time the great Sediflce accommodate
ing 1000 was taxed to its utmost
capacity. ...-.
Evangelist Blunt is plain,
forceful speaker Gand succeeds in
presenting the aWfulness of sin
and arousing the consciences of
men as to sins effects on soul aud
body aud persuading them to for.
sake it.
Seldom do men have their lives
Of sin so openly laid before them
as has been done in these meet.
ings. Neither excuse nor apology
was offered for wrong doing
whether it was in preacher or pa
rishioner; both saint and sinner rr-
ceived their portion in due season.
AS a result, the church life has
been quickened, a multitude of the
unsaved brought face to face with
their accountability to God and
hope in Jesus Christ, and the
town in general stirred on moral
issues as it has not been for many
years.
The music was a potent factor
in the success of the meeting,
under the leadership of Prof. O.
w. Harlan, assisted by the large
chorus and orchestra. Prof. Har-
Ian expressed his qualification at
the response of both chorus and
audience in the singing and said
Mexico had equalled former cho.
ruses where the Evangelist had
worked aud in some respects had
excelled them. 1t is not difficult
to get chorus and audience to sing
with such a master to lead as

\ committee of citizens from
Sturgeon had conference yester-
day at the Wabash general offices
with General Manager Goodnow OF

the double-track arrangement of
the two lines between Mexico aud

AWFUL ACCIDENT.
R. r. Engine Blows Up
and Three Men Killed.

An awful accident occurred on
the Wabash, uoar O'Fallon. last
Saturday morning. a freight en-
CINE exploding killing Engineer
Paul Klinard, Fireman Frank
Appleby aud Brakeman George
Brown, all of Moberly.
The train was backing from
Montgomery City toward st. Louis
and contained only the engine and
caboOse.
The engineer was scalded to
death; Appleby had his leg torn
off and was otherwise horribly
maugled. Brakeman Brown was
sitting on the outside of the ca
boOse aud the door of the en-
CINE dashed thru the air striking
him in the head. All three were
killed instantly.
Conductor Dessert was buried
under the debris but was able to
pull himself out and walked a mile
ahead and tagged n passenger
train with 200 people on board in
time to save its crashing into the
wreck.
Paul Klinard, the engineer, was
we'll known in Mexico, has a
daughter, Miss Minnie Klinard,
who is a student at Hardin Col
lege.

Would Plow up the

Washington April 20 The on-
ly way To control the Missouri riv.
er is to pillow 1t up. That is the
opinion Of q. Eacratt of Strahan,
Ia, who has spent years bothering
about improvements of that incor-
rigible stream.
His plan is to pillow mp the bot
tom of the river, and the currents
created thereby will do the rest he
says toward securing out a chan.
mel in which boats of the heaviest
draught might navigate.
The congressional committees
had never thought of this, and the
new inland waterways commissio n
may considerl the idea seriously
They may also look into the scheme
of a 81. Louisau whose idea to con.
troll the Missouri and prevent its
filling the Mississippi with silt and
mud is to construct a gravel dam
at its mouth so as to allow only
clear water to enter the Missis,
sippi.
Owing to the inadequacy of the
railroads to move the freight of the
great northwest the demand for
freight transportation is impera.
tive. The solution is to put the
giant Missouri to work.

A Word for Audrain
County.

AUDRAINcounty lies in the heart Of
north central Missouri, 909 miles
northwest of st. Louis and l65
east of Kansas City while it is 365
miles from Chicago. The Chicago
& Alton, the Wabash and the Bur-
lingtOn roads give it ample trans
portation facilities and every part
of the country is within easy access
of the railroads.
There is practically no waste
land in this county, every foot be.
ing tillable. The land is an undu-
lating prairie, lying high with ex-
cellent natural drainage and the
seasons are long. n,
To the farmer with moderate
means wishing to secure a farm
and home, Audrain county pre-
sents many advantages. Not only
can land be secured at reasonable
figure, but every possible advan-
tage that can be found in Illinois
and Iowa localities is here. The
county which was organized in
1886, has an area of 600 square
miles and a population of approx
mately 5000. The entire county
is covered with free delivery routes,
while a network of telephone lines
extends every where. There are
100 school houses in the county,
which is entirely out of debt, and
has over 100000 school funds
loaned out at five per cent. Las
year the enrolment of school chill
dren in the county was $3.50, of
which 354 were taking the high
school course. There is a high
school at Mexico at which twenty
nine teachers are employed, one at
Vandalia with eleven teachers and
one at Laddonia with six. Forty
five schools have libraries in which
are contained 4,S46 volumes. Last
year the total school expenditures
of the county were $50, 241, Of
which $45,0 went as teachers
wages, the average for the male
teachers being $50.s3 per mon tn
and for the female $41.20.
Here in Andrain county is a
happy combination of fertile prai-
