DISTRICT BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
Splendid Three Days Meeting Held TObinspOs Indiana Many
Delegates Preachers and Visitors Present. Rev. Adams
of China, Delivered An Address

The Baptist District Association, of
Perry County, Indiana, convened at
Tobinsport, Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, holding services every morning,
afternoon and evening, at the Baptist
church. Sixty ministers and delegates
were in attendance, besides a large
number of visitors.
The Rev. L. S. Sanders, who is pastor
of the Tobinsport Baptist church, was
moderator, and Rev. J. w. Cunning
ham, of Celina, Ind, was clerk. They
were both reelected to their respective
offices for the ensuing year. Rev.
Sanders has held this position for six
years and it is said of him that he
would rather be moderator of the AS
ISOLATION than president of the United
States.
AT the different meetings discussions
were made on the following topics:
Missions, Education, Benevolence and
Local Interest of the Association. Good
music was rendered at every service
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
Association workers. Mr.. A. Cooper,
popular young man from Cape Sandy,
Ind, favored the delegates with three
beautiful solos.
One of the most interesting addresses
made was by the Rev. Adams, who was
born and reared in China. He spoke
on the Life of the people and the Work
of the Church in China. His address
contained much information in general
as Rev Adams is quite familiar with his
subject, having lived in China all his
life until just recent years: He was
engaged with his father in missionary
work there.
Rev. S. c. Fulmer, of Indianapolis,
Ind, spoke on the Interest of Baptist
Home Missions in America and Foreign
Possessions"
Prof. Rebecca Thompson, who is
instructor of mathematics at the Bap-
fist College, at Franklin, Ind, was or
the program. Her sister, Miss Mary

gave talk on Woman's Home Mission
Auxiliary Work.
Mrs. Walter Captlniger, of Madison,
Ind, discussed Womans Foreign
/ Work.
The Association closed Sunday even
ing and the delegates, ministers and
the visitors all left Monday morning.
They were delightfully."- entertained at
the hospitable homes of the people Of
Tobinsport.
The meeting proved a perfect success
socially and also in a business way, and
much spiritual good was received and
given during the services.
The Association will convene at the
Baptist church at Deer Creek, Perry
County, Ind, in September, 1908.

Louisville, Ky. Aug. 30.-The Cour-

supposed to have been caused by de-
fectlve insulation of electric wires.
The fire spread with remarkable rap
idity. In a short time the third floor

HELENA KEYMEN
ABANDON STRIKE
Believed Action Will Have Important
Effect on Unions in Other
Northern Cities.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 22.-At a
meeting of the local teiegraphers'
union tonight the strike was formal
ly declared off and en- men have
asked Manager Taylor of the Western
Union for their old positions. Forty
men walked out In this city when
the strike was first inaugurated, and
he first break in the ranks came sew
eral days ago when one of the strik-
ers asked for reinstatement and was
sent to the st. Paul Office.
1t is believed that the action of the
local union here will have the effect
of breaking the backbone of the
strike throughout the Northwest, as
Helena, being a big relay point, is
one of the most important Offices
west of Chicago.
Manager Taylor believes that be-
fore tomorrow night practically every
operator who quit the service of the
Western Union here will ask for re.
instatement.
Superintendent Hawkins of the
Postal Telegraph Company, who is
here from Salt Lake tonight said that
Helena had held out better than any
city in the United States, and that
the calling .off of the strike here
would undoubtedly have great in1u-
ence on the local unions in other
cities.
St. Louis, Mo-, Oct 22-The West
ern Union officials here stated that
two striking operators returned to
work today and FIVE came back yes
terday. They say that a total of 35
strikers have returned to work since
the strike began.
Omaha, Oct. 22-Three striking
operators, including the
secretary and treasurer of the local
union, returned to work today. Two
returned yesterday.

Says There is Still Hope for the Bridge
Bill-Believes Convict Labor Sue
cessful-Missed his Train.

A fair-sized audience gathered at
the theater last night to hear GOV
ernor Mead talk.
Some of the bucolic element tired
to pay to get in.
Frank Reeves, always popular
speaker in Wenatchee, presented the
chief executive to the people in :.
few wisely selected sentences. He
Fail a warm tribute to Frank Dali
lam, Jr., the Governor secretary,
who formerly lived in Wenatchee
and edited the Daily World.
On the stage with the speaker
We're John A. Gellatly, Walter NJ.
Olive, Senator Gum and Chairman
Frank Reeves of the Reception Com
mittee.
Governor Mead said many things
last night that sounded good to We
natchee people. He refrained from
'peddling the usual hot air. that the
great and near-great are wont to
hand out to tickle the vanity of the
gullible human race. He avoided all
that and stuck to his text. The
words of praise which he did give
Wenatchee, however, were no more
than Wenatchee's due, and his audi
ence felt that the Governor really
meant what he said, and that he is
not man who pays stereotyped, cut
and-dried compliments to each sue
cessive community which he visits.
The Governor touched briefly on
the various incidents of his trip
through the Okanogan country,
which pilgrimage he made with a
view to getting better acquainted
with the needs of that part of the
commonwealth of Washington. The
question of good roads is one of the
Governor hobbies (if it be not un-
W 81 Tie CHlCl GA
ecutive's interest in the welfare of
the people who use the roads,, ami
next to this is perhaps his desire to
see the states various penal and cha
ritable institutions become as nearly
self-supporting as possible. In last
nights address the governor touched
on the vast areas of public lands in
the state, yearly being made more
valuable by the enterprise of the set
tiers, the unearned increment from
which is going to defray the expense
of educational and other state insti-
tutions.,
Speaking of Wenatchee, Governor
Mead complimented the owners of
the local -four mills on their enter
