A FORCEFUL
SERMON

Or. John M. Moore, managing editor
Of the Nashville Christian Advocate,
preached a very helpful sermon at the
First Methodist church Sunday morn
ing. DR.. Moore is most scholarly
man and his handling of his subject
was masterful and interesting to his
hearers. He took as his subject:
The Kingdoms of Earth shall become
the Kingdoms of God"
Especial stress was laid on the fact
that the christian religion is progress
sive and that the christianity Of today
is not by any means the christianity
of the days of the apostles. That God
in all ages has striven to show Him
self to man and that in the person of
Christ He was not only the Judge of
all the world, and the thunderer who
thunders in the heavens, but was also
the father of all men. This is the pre-
vailing idea of the advancing chistian
thought. In spite Of temporary lapses,
every century has been an advancing
type of christianity, and the chris
tianity of today Is the noblest the
world has ever seen.
Every kingdom Of the world that
stands for success, has become chris
tian kingdom, and nations civiliza-
ton is measured by its type of chris
tianity. Not only the temporal king
doms. but the kingdoms of science, of
thought, of philosophy, Of literature,
all have paid allegiance to the Christ
that came to Gallilee, and the time
will come when every soul will pay
allegiance to christianity, not neces-
sarily the type Of christianity that we
profess, but that type that best fits
each individual soul in unity, people
or race.

ENDORSEMENT OF
SENATOR BAILEY
COMPLETE ON PART OF THE TEX
AS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COMMITTEE.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 25.-By vote
of 10 to IL the Texas Senate today dis
charged the investigating committee
which has been in session several
weeks looking into charges against
United States Senator Joseph W.
Bailey.
! At IL o'clock the anti-Bailey follow
! ing offered a resolution instructing
the committee not to bring in a report
at this time, but to send a subcommit-
tee to St. Louis to secure the testi-
mony-of II. Clay Pierce, of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, and to embody
such evidence in it's final report.
Adherents OF Senator Baily prompt
ly offered substitute that the inves-
tigating committee be discharged at
once without finding report and that
Senator Bailey be fully indorsed.
After rather heated debate the sub
stitute resolution was adopted by a
vote Of Is to IL. Mr.. Bailey's friends
contended that every member of the
Legislature as well as the general pub
lie. was fully acquainted with all de-
tails of the evidence before the CON-
mittee, by reason of It's publicity in
the daily press of the country, and
members of the Senate could vote now
on the question In an intelligent man
uer.
The most sensational feature of the
debate was when Senator Senter an
nounced that he proposed introducing
a resolution demanding the dlsbarment
of ]. D. Johnson, of st. Louis, attor-
ney for the Waters-Pierce and Stan
dard Oil Companies from practicing
nthec ourts of the State, Judge John
son. he declared, had admitted that he
was in conspiracy to make false
affidavit.
IF no action is taken In regard to
this Infamous DEAL" declared Senator
Senter, Il shall offer a measure to
forever exclude the Waters-Pierce OH
Company from Texas, and another to
exclude ]. d. Johnson from the courts
OF this State. as his very presence
Is an insult to the sacred ermine OF
the judiciary"
The Bailey matter comes up in
the House tomorrow and heated de-
bate is anticipated.

Vast Audience, Frenzied BY Fire,
Lapses Into Quiet.

CHICAGO. Feb. PA panic in the
Auditorium here during the grand
opera performance last night, was
averted by the presence Of mind OF
Miss Alice Nielsen. who was singing
the prIma donna role. A small blaze
underneath the stage caused the stage
manager to order the steel FIRE curtain
lowered. The sight Of the barrier and
the smell of smoke brought the aud
fence OF over 1000 persons to their
feet in alarm. The dash for the exits
had already begun when Miss Nelson
darted under the descending curtain
and called to the orchestra conductor,
play the Star Spangled Banner"
Her voice rose over the tumult and
stilled the panic before she had I'm
ished the first verse. Then the cur
tain was raised, a fireman appeared
and treasured the audience and the
opera was resumed after a wild out
burst OF cheering on the part OF the
audience
During the confusion some one en-
tered the dressing room of M. Con-
stantine, leading tenor of the San Car
10 Opera Company, and stole dia-
mond pin which had been presented to
him nv the King of Spain. The
trinket was valued at several thous-
and dollars.
The incident marked the conclud-
ing performance of a weeks season
here. So successful was the engage
ment, the receipts, according to Hen
ry Russell, manager, having aggrega-
ted $4,000, that 1t has been decided
to make Chicago the headquarters of
the company next year.

U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim 1t to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have We
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy2 Let US SEQ
what the United States Dispensatory
says Of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
Of this herbal remedy, that 1t Is largely
employed in the treatment Of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia (ca-
tarrh Of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, lea
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes Of the pelvic organs.
It is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms Of diseases Pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, 10 classed in the United
States Dispen satory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and a.
tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found In
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says Of the action
of cedron that it is used as bitter
tonic and in the treatment Of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient ct
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as a mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. It acts as stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
entery and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.

malls Of what the people think Of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who

AS on the western pralries In
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kindled to prepare his frugal meal or
20 warm him from the biting wind,
famed into renewed vigor, spread,
first on the tiny blade Of grass to
'neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea OF
seathing flame destroying all before
1t, so the mail order business, started
in the eastern cities on small scale,
famed by the breeze Of judicious ad-
vertlsing, has spread until 1t now COW
ers the length and breadth Of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note Of
warning has been sounded the light
is visible in the sky, and yet, appar-
emily oblivious to 1t all, the ones
whose safety Is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal Of
disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide Of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation, that, like great sea Of con-
suming fame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant and the farm

rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to

firms are daily reaching out for new
sections Of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth Of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade. Let them once destroy the
country merchant and the markets
of the world will be In the hands OF a
few wealthy capitalists Their branch
houses will appear In all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer

Again, the dollar spent with tho
local dealer stays In the community
where 1t blesses the spender over and

the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread Of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays 1t to the miller for
flour, and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, so the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmers

where our laws are made, and unless
q check is administered the passage
Of the parcels post bill will mark one
Of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at few OF the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered en- each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
Gus year to the country merchant. SO
in the prosperity Of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, In the
country dealer, staunch and loyal
friend and defender Of his rights.
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
lions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may, but
that is only a bait. The business is
not founded on principles, 1t is not
builded on honorable methods, Its
mighty walls are erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds Of goods have
defects 80 cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
these OF much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have 1t ready when the
goods arrive with the big G. 0. D.
mark on the package. Your crop fall
ure. or shortage of money doesn't In
terest the mail order house, your
credit with them Is good only so long
a. your pocket book Is filled. Your
order Is made out and you pay for
goods you never saw, put up and Sc
iected by men you do not know. II
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money, II the shoes do not wear
well. or the suit is shoddy goods, will
the mail order Arm make them good?
Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He knows his hones:y is his
best drawing card. So much for the
advantage Of dealing with honest men
