Didn't Understa n d.

A revival meeting was in pro- gress and Sister Jones was call- ed upon for testimony. Being meek and humble, she said.
 "I do not feel as though should stand here and give tes- timony. I have been 8 trans. gressor for 8 good many years and have only recently seen the light. I believe that my place is in a dark corner behind the door
 Brother Smith was next called upon and following the example set by sister Jones, said: "I, too, have been a sinner for more than 40 years, and l do not think it would be fitting for ne to stand before this assembly as a model" ''I think my place is behind the door, in a dark cor ner with Sister Jones. s.''
 And he wondered why the meeting was convulsed with the laughter of those who came up to pray.

There have been some periods of hysteria, but they are passing, and the state is building upon the solid basis of it's natural re. sources.
 It's advance in the last twenty five years, yes, in the last ten years. has been nothing short of marvellous, and that of the next twenty five years will bs much greater in proportion, so that when it rounds out the first century of it's existence, it may we'll be able to throw down the gauntlet to the be.t of them.

Their Meeting Was Pathetic

Their Meeting Was Pathetic
 One of the saddest experiences that can befall man in the line of duty was that of Superintend- ent s. A. Nicholas, of the Mis- souri and North Arkansas rail. road last Monday. On the pre-. vious day, Wm. Bennett, who for twenty years had been a faithful employe on this road, and had but about two months previous been advanced to the responsible position of road mast. CT, had drowned while making a vain endeavor to rescue his fifteen year old son, who was the victim of the rapids of the Buffalo river, near Gilbert. An account of this sad accident was recorded in our issue of last week.
 Immediately after hearing of the catastrophe, Mr.Nicholas as. sumed the sad duty of rendering all the aid in his power to the be- reaved family of MT. Bennett. There was tho wife and five little daughters, who met the train at Harrison, bearing it's sad burden, and these were accompanied to their former home in Seligman. There the whole town seemed to be a unit in their sympathy for the family of their former loved and respected townsman.
 A few days before, MT. Bennett had announced to MT. Nicholas a contemplated visit on the part of his sisters, Mrs. Walter Stanton and Mrs. M. B. Garretson, both of whom live near St. Louis, and these were to receive directions from MT. Nicholas, where MT. Bennett was located. It SO hap pened that these ladies started for their visit Sunday evening, arriving at Seligman Monday morning, where the sad intelli- gence of their brothers fate was made known.
 Few men had earned the love and esteem of tn cir co.workers as had Mir. Bennett, and the pathetic scenes of the day were such that 8 number of his former associ. ates, including MT. James Skel. ton, the road supervisor, were overcome with grief. To MT. Nicholas fell the lot of com- forting and taking charge of all the arrangements for the funeral and he says that never before has he witnessed and realized that there was so much sympathy and goodness in mankind. The true Christian spirit was reveal ed to him in the endeavors of the friends of the family to do their part in aiding to relieve the grief of the bereaved family. MT. Nicholas is a strong man, but at evening OH his arrival home, he nearly collapsed.
 MT. Bonnet and his son Gordon were two of the most familiar figures on the line of the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad, and they had the good wishes and esteem of all who knew them, and that the sad experience should be inflicted on the good wife and the five little daughters who seemed almost unable to bear the shock and grief, was in- deed 8 heart rending scene. To this was added the surprise and grief of the sisters who had contemplated pleasant visit and outing with their brother, whom they had not seen for a number ol years.
 1 Superintendent Nicholas re- lieved all the men from the tunne to Seligman, and these in body attended the funeral, a portion of them acting as pail bearers ] The mother of MT. Bennett Mrs. M. A. Jester, is still living l and resides at Brockton, St

 eide With Electricity
HAD RELIGIOUS MANIA

London, Oct 21.-What is believed to be the first case of suicide by elec- tricity, has occurred at Kingston. The victim was William Brown, a carpen- ter, employed in the local electric lighting works.
 At the inquest it developed that a little while before his death, Brown made inquiries as to dangerous parts of the switchboard. It was supposed at the time that he was anxious to avoid risking his life and the fullest information was supplied him,
 Subsequently he was seen with his hands on two of the terminals, and instantly thereafter he fell down dead.
 The evidence showed that he had had no worry but had suffered from q religious mania. the recurrence of which he feared. X letter was found indicating his intention to commit sui eide

Blowinq the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten- ton of the public to the importance of performing the nose blowing operation in scientific and hygienic manner. First one nostril and then the other should be blown without undue vio- lence. Doctors state that the two nasal passages should never be closed at the same time. If they are obstructed, as fin the case of a cold, the back of the throat is filled with compressed air, and this. together with the discharge and the microbes which it contains, may be driven through the eustachiai tube into the middle ear and lead to serious results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when suffering from a cold. The course is hardly one which will commend itself to those in the habit of catching colds. The best advice would seem to be that when it is necessary to blow the nose blowing should be done gently.-LOndon Mall.

Feeling Is Easier.

New York, Oct. 21.--Eyeryone in- terested in Wall street and the city, financial affairs felt much easier over the banking situation by reason of the clearing house announcement that aid would be extended to the observation-disclosures banks if as sistance were required. When the United Copper corner collapsed last week and was followed by the retire. ment of F. Augustus Heinze from the presidency of the Mercantile National bank disquieting rumors were circu- lated as to the standing, not only of that bank, but as to the stability of the institutions controlled by Charles W. Morse and E. E. Thomas, who were associaed with Heinze in the Mercantile. These rumors rapidly spread throughout the downtown dis trict and they had considerable to dc with the crumbling away of stock ex- change prices last week. The action of the clearing house, however, fol- lowing the retirement of Morse, ,Thom. as and Heinze from their New York banks, cleared the financial atmos- phere considerably and sentiment in and around the stock exchange was more cheerful to-day than for some weeks.
 The clearing house committee was again in session this morning to deal with the developments which might arise in the banking situation. Man. ager Sherer of the clearing house said that institution had the situation un- der control, that all the undesirable elements had been eliminated and from this time would begin new era in banking in New York. It was officially denied that it would be necessary to issue clearing house cer- tificates in order to secure support for the banks which have been under criticism.

WalIing's Offense.

St Petersburg, Oct 21.-The ma chinery of the American embassy was set in motion this morning to secure the release of William English Wall ing, of Indianapolis, his wife Anna, and his sister-in-laW, Miss Rose Strun- sky, who were arrested at the Hotel de France here last night because of their association with members of the Finnish progressive party, four of whom, including the wife of Professor Malmburg of Helsingfors university, were taken into custody at the same time. Attaches of the embassy visit ed the prefecture of police and the headquarters of the secret police in endeavors to learn the nature of the charges against the American prlson- CTS and to see whether they were con- fortably treated. The Wallings prob ably will be released on condition of their leaving Russia, but the eXamina- tion of the books. manuscripts and other documents seized by the police when the Wallings were taken into custody may delay the release of the prisoners for few days.
 The police accuse Mir Walling with furnishing financial aid to the revolu- tiOnary movement. but that is not the charge on which he and the other members of the party were arrested last night.

CITY NEWS.

The weather was cold enough to- day for heavy clothing and many who ventured out with light garments had to hustle around to keep warm. It was just the kind of day that prompts one to look into his coal bin and set him thinking what he has done with all the money that came into his hands since last spring. The wise heads predict an carly winter. If the thermometer does not move upward pretty soon we will begin tO feel that winter is here now.
 Yesterday word was sent to Post master James H.

WILL BE NO SUCCESSOR
Christian Scientists DeBy the Rum0rS and Tell Who Will
 Carry on the Business.

Boston, Oct. 21.-Phompted by the report that a successor had been chosen to take the place of Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy as head of the Chris tian Science church after the death of the present leader, Alfred Barlow the official spokesman for the denomi- nation, issued the following state ment:
 Mrs Eddy founder of the faith, and to-day in supreme control of the Christian Science church, will have no successor. Neither Mrs Auguste Stetson, the leader of the New York church, nor the Lady Dunmore, who has been prominently mentioned, will ever fill the position occupied by Mrs Eddy. With the death of the aged leader, the Christian Science church will have no single personal leader The business of the organization will undoubtedly be considered by a board of directors while the memory of the founder and discoverer will remain the only name ever connected with the faith.'

Each Had Throat Trouble Just Like

For the first few min utes neither one spoke: then the young man broke the ice. You have deli cate throat, I see," he said commis- eratingly. T used to be bothered that way myself"
 The commuter hesitated. There was something about his seat mate which Invited confidence.

EVADING THE FINE
Standard Oil Co Will EgdeavOr 10 Have United States Circuit
 Court Help lt Gut.

Chicago, Oct 21.-The Chicago Inter- Ocean says to-day:
 Plans for the tremendous effort that will be made by attorneys for the Standard Oil company to have the S29,240,OO0 fine imposed by Judge Landis, wiped out by the United States circuit court of appeals were discussed yesterday. Twenty-Five main points leach one of which the attorneys will argue is sufficient to have the recordbreakbng fine de- clared void, will be advanced when the case comes to trial in January.
 The principal arguments will be:
 That the government attorneys fail- ed to inform the defense of the Alton immunity agreement
 That the Elkins act under which the conviction was secured was un- constitutional.
 That as the Hepburn act was passed before indictments were returned, prosecution under the provisions of the Elkins law was illegal.
 That Judge Landis did not compute the number of violations correctly.
 That the Standard Oil company accepted the rates in question with the understanding that they were au~' thorized rates.

MORE HOPEFUL NOW
Sunday Meetings of Bankers and Stock Market Men Helps to
 Clarity Atmosphere.

New York, Oct. 21.-A feeling o1 contentment and satisfaction pre- vailed in banking circles after the history making Sunday meeting ot bank presidents, which succeeded in finally eliminating the Heinze, Morse and Thomas interests in certain of the clearing house banks. It was generally believed that by this action the cloud that hung over the financial situation, following the developments of the past week, has been dispelled and that beginning to-day a more hopeful feeling would pervade the situation in the stock exchange and on the street.
 Besides choosing new officers for the banks in question and announc- ing that each and every one was in a solvent condition, most important step was taken. This was the pledg ing of fund of $1O,000,0OO by a score of individual banks to extend aid to banks and render such assist ance to meet their deposits as the clearing house committee may. think necessary.
 The meeting Sunday was the most notable gathering of bankers that any occasion in recent years has brought together The deposits of the banks represented at the conference amounted to $1,25o,ooo,OOO. The men, fifteen in all, and every one a practical banker, convened at the clearing house while the bells of old Trinity were ringing for the begin ming of church service.
 These fifteen men decided upon the measures for the elimination of the in- terests that have been under criticism which measures later in the day were carried out.
 The methods that have now been eliminated from the local banking sit uation, it is stated, are development of the last decade.
 They consist of the buying of a bank, then putting up the stock re- presenting that control as collateral for funds to buy control of another bank and continuing the process with banks and trust companies so that the result is pyramid controlling chains" of financial institutions and their deposits. The crisis, it is de- clared, has been serious one, but the cure extended is expected to be complete one.
