BAPTISM NEARLY DISASTROUS

BAPTISM NEARLY DISASTROUS
Special to TIE TrMEs.0

Indiana Harbor. Ind, March 9.-The
revival services. which have been in
progress at the First Church of Christ
on Guthrie street, are surprising in
success. even the most optimistic an
ticipations of the pastor, Rev NJ s.
Peckham.
Revs. c. A. Doolittle and George A.
Reinhart, the indianapolis revivalists,
who are assisting Mr.. Peckham, are
greatly pleased with the results thus
far attained.
Up TO last Sunday seventeen confess
sions of faith had been declared and
the new converts are only waiting a
favorable opportunity to be baptised.
An attempt was made last Sunday to
perform some baptisms in the lake, but
the result was unsuccessful, and al
most disastrous When the ten candi-
dates and the clerical authorities ar
rived at the lake, Immediately in front
of the South Bay hotel, they found a
large crowd of onlookers assembled,
and an extremely rough sea on.
Mr.. Wefger Insists.
The minister considered the weather
and water conditions too unpropitious
to proceed with the ceremonies but
F. Weiger an ardent convert, was so
persistent in his request to be baptised
then and there that Mr.. Peckham final
ly acceded to his request, and the
attempt was made.
The pastor and Mr. Weiger entered
the water until they were little over
waist-deep when an enormous wave
off theiH feet, then receding almost car
ried them out in the lake. but they
were rescued before any serious dam
age Was sustained by either.
| Mr.. Weiger being then convinced that
| further efforts to go on with the
church rites would be impracticable
the ceremonies were postponed until
more favorable weather conditions OBJ
| tanned.
MattOx Insists on Lake.
If the weather is balmy and warm
and the lake smooth, another attempt
may be made next Sunday. but if the
weather Is bad an attempt will proba-
bly, be made to secure the Hammond
Christian church baptistry for the
event Henry Mattox, a young convert
however, will accept no other medium
than the lake.
The Christians are now holding thei'
services in the same building occupied
by The Sentinel, but hope before thu
summer is over to be housed in
church of their own. They have TIVE
lots on Grapevine street, on which the,
contemplate building very soon. The!
already have a substantial fund 70
the purpose.

GamblinQ.

If reports be true there is
gambling going on in several
places in our county, including
keytesville, not only among the
colored people and degraded
whites, who shoot dice, too, but
among the conceded respectable.
What is the difference in gam.
bling so far as the devices used
and the places in which it is
done are concerned? There is
no question about its immoral
and criminal nature or it's hurt
full influence upon the individual
and community. Why not 60 af-
ter it as we'll as illegal sale of
liquor? 0. H. PHILLIPS.

Dr.. B. Hughes of Keytesville
was in Kansas City Tuesday with
one of his patients, Mrs. John
Kuhlman of near Dalton, who
was operated on that day at st.
Joseph's hospital by DR.. j. D.
Griffith of Kansas City. This
eminent surgeon removed 100
gallstones, ranging in size from
a grain of wheat to a hazelnut,
from Mrs. Kuhlman's gall. blad.
der, and we are indeed glad to
learn that SIZE is now getting
along nicely and that satisfactory
results are promised. DR.. Hughes
returned home Tuesday night.

KEyTEsVILLE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20 1000.
A Silver Wedding.

Friday evening, January %.
1909, marked an eventful incident
in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam G ehrig Of Mendon, for just
25 years ago they plighted their
troth in Madison county, ILL.,,
Mrs. Gehrig's maiden name be.
ing Miss Annie Lutwiller prior to
January %, 1884.
Five years later they moved to
Mendon, this county, where they
have endeared themselves to all
who know them, by their uprig hit
characters and many: neighborly
acts of kindness and their natural
frienGliness.
1t was, therefore, fitting that
they should celebrate their silver
wedding anniversary. They in.
vited 80 couples of their friends,
and a right royal time they all
had enjoying the good cheer of
the evening in the way.of games
and social course and partaking
of a delicious three. course
luncheon.
The house was beautifully dec
Grated in evergreen, smilax and
silver tinsel, roses, carnations
and ferns, while a"large silver
bell was suspended over the
dining. room table.
1t is needless to say that Mr..
and Mrs. Gehrig appeared at
their best and left nothing; un-
done to make the occasion q
pleasant one, and that they sue.
ceeded most admirably, as all of
their guests bear ready and will.
ing witness.
A number of elegant presents
were bestowed upon the host and
hostess and of which they are
very, very proud.
May the bark of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gehrig glide as smoothly along
the shores of time in the next 25
years AS it has in the past 25, and
may they ne'er rue their wedding
day is the wish of the COURIER.

MAN WAS MADE TO HUSTLE.


about half way between Mendon
and Sumner, received a black
mailing letter demanding that he
put $4,000 in certain place.
Threats of violence were also
made in the letter in case Mr..
Long failed to comply with the
demand for money.
Mr.. Long paid little attention
to the matter at first, but it was
not many days until q large
stock barn on his premises was
set on fire and burned to the
ground shortly after midnight.
Somethidg like a week or 10
days afterward Mr.. Long was
sent another letter, this time
calling for $4,000, and threat.
ening further violence, not only
to his property but to also him
self and family.
Still no attention was paid to
the black mailer, and about three
weeks later a number of hog
sheds and corn pens on Mr..
Longs lower farm were burned
by an incendiary.
Ten days or two weeks ago
Mr.. Long employed L. A. EN-
bree. now of near Eccles, at one
time city marshal of Keytesville

week Messrs. Embree and Rey.

David Adcock. They found
him at his home in Triplett.
Adcock's captors started with
him to the Triplett hotel, it being
the intention to bring him on to
Keytesville that night and place
him in Jail.
But when they got to point,
near the Christian church iE
Triplett the surrey they were in

cock hit the ground on his feet
and at once got his pedal ex-
tremities into speedy action q I'D
succeeded in making his escape,
and has not been relocated, but
no effort or expouse will be
spared to that end. He is believ.
ed to have had several accom-.
plices in his attempt to black
mail Mr.. Long, and it is sincere
ly hoped that everyone of them
will be apprehended and meet
with the heaviest punishment the
law can inflict.
David Adcock used to work
for Mr.. Long as a farm hand and
disappeared for time after the
Long letters were written and
the fires occurred, but moved TO
Triplett not long since and re.
Gently undertook a similar game
with M. w. Houser, a prominent
farmer and good citizen of that
vicinity, whom Adcock person
ally accused of having insulted
