showed evidence of narrowmindedness
 One of the pastors stated that sev- cral of his congregation last Sunday expressed great disappointment that he did not have an after-meeting for call to the lost to be saved from sin.
 Dr. A. B. Curry gave a cheering note in recital of the fact that few days ago prayer was asked by relatives for father o4 years of age. residing in Victoria. Tex. The friends in Texas knew nothing of the request made in Memphis. On yesterday letter was received saying that the venerable father had become deeply concerned about his soul and had been saved through the mercy of God.
 A young man who has for some weeks been making fun of the meeting and bragzing about being able to drink liquor when he felt like it without get ting drunk. let his foot slip last week -- got drunk and was carried home in that condition. So humilitated was he in discovering hts utter dsfeat b J the devil, an becoming sober he went to the revival meeting at once. got down on his knees to the altar. in the old-t time way. made humble confess ion and was soundly converted. Scarcely had he left the altar when he caught sight of companion and made strong appeal that his friend. like himself. give his heart to God.

BIG REVIVAL BEGINS.
Dr. Eichelbereer. inc Evan. eelist begins big revival services in this city.
 Great interest
 Shown.


 Dr. C. w. Ejchelberger. the evanze- list under the direction of the Presby-. terian Evangeiisttcal Committee. arriy- Cd In Brinkley yesterday morning and began the big revival on last night in. the new brick building recently built by Mrs. o. D. Weldon for Mr. w. E.. Hickman.
 Quite number of the ARGUS read. CTS will remember a reference made 10 pr. Eichelbeiger. in one Of the de-. scriptive letters written by the ARGUS editor while in California two years ago. The letter then told of the ARGUS editor attending 3 Sunday afternoon service in Court Square Park of the city of Fresno, California. which was conducted by this same DIG. w.. Eichelberger and at whichthere was a crowd variously estimated at from 5000 to 5000 people present.
 Also Of the powerful effect of this re- markabie preacher in expounding the gospel of Christ. Of the conversion at this same service of one of the. leading Christian Scientists of Califor- mia.
 pr. Eichelberger was a participant in the Great Winona Lake Evange. listic Conference held last Summer by which plaanrs were lad for an evange listic campaign throughout the United States, and hts worI in Arkansas is 2 fullfillment of the plans then made.
 All over America this great wave of spiritual awakening is spreading Its powerful influence for the hetterment of man. In the great cities as in the country towns. the reyiva! spirit is at work and as never before in the history af Amsrica, thls great spiritual fire is taking a hold on the rich and poor alike. on the busy banker and merchant as well as the factory and railroad men. In Philadelphia, in Denver. in San Francisco. in Chicago in Atlanta and other cities this same anMous desire to hear the gospel of the Christ has attracted the attention of the world. Even in Memphis the great Gates revival has been going on now for over three months and thous- ands have been led to know the Christ as never before. In Memphis as in the other cities. the busiest. most prominent and wealthiest citizer $ have the same spiritual fire that $ burning in the hearts of those who usually turn to Christ only winch driven to do so. In the Gates meeting the leading banker of Memphis has been one otfthe yery busiest and influential workers. The people of Brtnkley have been reading of the great Gates revival daily in the Memphis papers and the published accounts gre mar yelous.
 The services to be held in Brinksey by pr. Eichelberger will have the ad- vantage of being most admiralty l9- cated and good attendance is expect ed even < the weather should turn off bad.

SOMETHING REnARKABLE
The Greatest Religious Re vivAl Ever in the South,
 Now in Progress at
 Memphis.

The morning service yesterday at 10 o'clock in the First Methodist church was finely attended.
 So mary ministers were present that Rev. Mr. Gates spent much of the time in speaking specially to the pastors with particular reference to gaining deep sense of what itsmeans to be lost. He said if a minister can but get an adequate idea of what it really means to be a lost soul. tha.the ministry of such one will be turned to the key of saving souls as the chief business.
 Almost at the close of the morning service call was made for penitents. and number went to the altar. The common remark about the great |urion revival. now going on. by many old time Christians Is that there has never been a'time in the history of Memphis, when it seemed so easy for people to find God and be saved from sin.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

Al the very opening of the meeting. and almost before Mr. Gates got we'll on his feet behind the pulpit. 2 very mature strong man began to cry out for rerey. and he went to the altar and feel down on his knees and made most penitent and pathetic prayer for the mercy of God This man was very hapyily converter. and threw up his hands and said "I surrender all to Jesus. for Salvation and service; as soon as saved. this strong man syose and asked prayer for friend. When brief space was given.for prayer and notes of praise, many interesting in cidents were related here are few samples.
 Aman who was converted some days ago stated that he knew positive lyithst God had power to save the  blackest sinner on earth because he had saved him. as he had been drunk for twenty-five years fully.
 He said further that since his con- version God had actually redeemed his body and he had no desire now for liquor.
 A fine looking man arose and earn estly requested prayer for a brother now an officer in the United States army.
 A young man who few days ago cheated a fellow worker in . trade. went to the union revival anc was Iconverted-the first thing he did after being saved, was to seek out his lfriend and make restitution at cnce- Ireturning the amount cheated from his neighbor.
 The effect upon the unsaved friend was magical. as it were. and he said "if the revival is doing that kind of werk, think will go there myself.
 No surer sign of sound conversion | than that which makes man return 1 ill gotten gains sold time religion makes genuine restitution. An earnest Christian woman report ed that maR approached on the sub 1 ject of going to the revival and teing saved. replied that as soon as he got ] out of debt he would consider the sub feet of having his soul savei-could not take it up as long as.he was carry ing load of debt.
 A message from Knoxville. Tend, was given to the effect that devout prayer was being offered in that city for the Memphis meeting at this time

Typhoid in StOughtOn.

Stoughton has an epidemic of typhoid
fever, and Health Officer VIC Melaas
is about satisfied that the epidemic is
caused, by impure we'll water. Slough
ton is furnished excellent drinking water
from an artesian 1000 feet deep but all
the people do not use this water. Many
still remain loyal to we'll water, but this
loyalty may prove expensive.
Health Officer Melaas has discoved
seventeen actual cases of typhoid fever,
and there are two or three cases that
may develop into the fever.
This years epidemic has been kept
quiet for some time, but there is no de-
nying that Stoughton has Il whole lot of
typhoid fever. The situation is not con-
sidered alarming, however, and the peo-
pie of that city appear to have no fear.
Last year Stoughton had fever cpl
demic about this time.

Knobel Loses His Case.

The action for 81, 600 damages lnsti-
tuted by Fred 81. Knobel, q former uni
versity law student, against e. M. Fuller,
proprietor of the Fuller opera house, was
non-suited by Judge Stevens Saturday.
The trouble for which Knobel came into
court involved disturbance in the thea
ter last March in which Knobel was ar
rested. after having been seized by D. e..
Harrington, special officer at the opera
house.
Judge Stevens decided that Harring-
ton had exceeded his authority in both
the utterance of certain remarks and in
laying hands on Kuobel.
The court further held the master was
not liable unless the servant acted in
compliance with his duty, and in the
case at bar the defendant, Mr.. Fuller,
was not responsible for the act OF his
employee Madison Journal.

TEN CENTS EXTRA.
Important Point in Matter of Postage
for Special Delivery.

Regarding the new law regulating
the special delivery of letters in the
mails the post office authorities state
that the addition of stamps to the
amount of 10 cents over and above
the amount of postage ordinarily re-
quired win not alone secure the spe-
Icial delivery service for the letter.
The person mailing the letter must
specify the desire for special delivery
service by writing the words, especial
delivery on the envelope, otherwise
the postal clerks would be unable to
determine whether registry or special
delivery might be desired.
the fee for the special delivery is
10 cents in addition to the amount of
postage for the carrying of the letter
or package, thus ~ cents would be re-
qujred for the ordinary letter.
Many persons have been led into
the error of believing that 10 cents
worth OF stamps placed on letter or
package would secure the special de
livery at the point Of destination.
