INCREASING INTEREST
At REVIVAL SERVICES
DR.. William B. Kicks Interesting Ser
mon on Jacob at
d Pencil"

The revival services at the Metho-
dist church continues with increasing
interest. There will be services Fri
dav night.
The Rev. Kicks had for his subject
Thursday night, Jacob at Pencil"
Gen. 80 "a.
Among other things he said: "Ja-
cob's character before he met God
was a mixture of good and evil. He
was not altogether bad for he had
some respect for good and holy
things. And this was the natural
result of the teaching Of Cody
man such as was Jacobs father.
Every boy who has had the COM
partnership of a Christian father
starts out in the world with an adj
vantage over the evil one. No one
can enjoy the training of pious para
ents and then forget wholly these
things that are noble and pure.

years old. in their home at 335 Twenty

followed desperate battle in which
the two women struggled with Bank
enbrink through every room in their
home The knife was taken away
from him after Miss Bankenbrink and

himself disarmed, Bankenbrink ran TO

Revolutionary General May

PORT AU PRINCE FOR HIM.
POPULATION OF ISLAND JUB.-
LIANT SINCE OVERTHROW OF
NoRD ALEXIS AS WELCOME TO
SIMON WAS INDICATIVE.

Port Au Prince, Haiti, Dec. 5.-Gen-
eral Simon, who marched into this city
today, was received at the outskirts of
the city by a delegation from the COM
mittee on public safety. THE welcome
of the people was officially conveyed
to him and a magnificent crown of
palms was offered him. Accompanied
by his personal escort and followed by
a large crowd crying, Long live the
president" the general made his way
to the cathedral where he assisted at
the celebration of te deum. The SER
vice was conducted by the archbishop.
Upon emerging from the cathedral
the ovation in honor of the successful
revolutionary leader was redoubled
The bells of the city rang out and the
drums and trumpets sounded the sa.
lutte that is used only to welcome the
chief executive of the Haitien republic
After leaving the church General Si
mon made a tour of Port Au Prince
still accompanied by his escort, and
still cheered by the people wherever
he went. The popular belief was that
he would go directly to the national
palace and establish himself there, but
on the contrary the general finally
halted at private house on the Camps
de Mars, where he established his
headquarters.

ly is strong and there is likelihood OF
his proclaiming himself president OF
the republic. If he takes such a step
however, there is reason to believe
that General Leconte, at Cape Hal
ten; General Firmin at Gonaives, and
General Fouchard. at Jeremie, all aspi-
rants to the presidency, will enter q
vigorous protest and that an outbreak
of civil warfare will follow The
hope of peace rests in the holding OF
free elections, and it is believed that
General Simon recognizes the wisdom
! of such a policy.

the candidates do not like to hear this
and their friends talk against it, but if
they do not see the situation in that
light it is because they are not look
ing straight ahead.
There can be no doubt but that
Kern hVs the best of the fight thus
far. In many of the counties Of the
state the democratic county commit
tees have adopted resolutions favor
ing him for senator and democratic
newspapers in sixty cities and towns
have. published editorials in his favor.
And reports come from many places
to the effect that the rank and file
of the party Is for him, and he has
Tom Taggart's backing, all of which
Is worth something. With these ele-
ments and these influences back of
him Kern is in the best position of
any of the candidates for senator.
But he still lacks votes of having
enough to carry him through the DEM
ocratic caucus. The Kern followers
themselves admit this and they are
more members of the legislature.
But it is believed that Kern and his
friends are figuring on some votes
that he will not get. Some of them
are bound to go to Slack. For in
stance, Kern is counting on three
votes in the Twelfth district when the
break comes and that district pulls
away from Edward G. Hoffman, of
.Ft. Wayne. There is not reason to
believe that Kern will get even one
vote from that district.
This is based on the belief that if
Steve Fleming, senator from Allen
county, is able to control the vote of
the Twelfth for Hoffman and there is
no doubt that he is. he will also be
able to deliver the votes to some 9TH
or candidate when the break comes.
II this is the case it is a cinch that
Fleming will not deliver any of these
votes to Kern, whom he hates most
cordially. So Mr.. Kern can expect
cold comfort from that section of the
state.
Fleming Dislikes Kern.
A story was started here today to
the effect that because he is a brew
er. Fleming would probably join the
rest of the brewers and come out for
Kern at the finish, but there is moth
Ing at present TO indicate that he will
do anything of the kind In the first
place not all the brewers are for Kern.
Crawford Fairbanks is for John e.
Lamb, of Terre Haute. for senator In
the next place Fleming dislikes Kern
because Kern prevented his being
elected state chairman some years
ago, and in the second place he also
has it in for Taggart. who is support
ing Kern quietly and Fleming now
has a chance to take a whack at both
Kern and Taggart at one time Those
who know Fleming and know what
kind of fighter he is in politics. will
not believe that he will allow such
an opportunity to pass without doing
something
The story that Kern and Slack are
to be the two contenders at the wind.
up is not exactly new, but he develop
ments that prove it true are coming
out day by day 1t will be little Bit
incongruous TO see Fleming lined UP
in the support of Slack. because Flem-
ing is brewer and Slack has all
along been consistent supporter OF
temperance legislation, but politics
makes strange bedfellows.
