WILL LECTURE ON
 LUTHERAN CHURCH

At the Christ Evangelical Lutheran church services to be held at II a. m. and : D. m. In the Fraternal hall today, the Rev. W. c. Schaeffer, D. D., of Knoxville. Tenn, will speak on the Lutheran church, its origin, history and future in this country as well as in the foreign field.
 As the Lutheran church was the first Protestant church to be founded inn mediately during the reformation, head ed by Martin Luther, after whom the church has been named, it will be of great interest to members of any Protestant church as the Lutheran church is consedered the mother of Protestant churches
 Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, D. D., Is well fitted to talk on this subject, having made a study of It, and his many years of service in the Lutheran church have but the better fitted him for this work
 It Is hoped that members of the other Protestant churches will avail them selves of this opportunity to hear more about the great work which not only tho Lutheran, but other Protestant churches have accomplished through the work first instituted by Martin Luther, in 1517, when he assailed the then Roman Catholic church by placing upon the church door at Wittenburg the 95 Theses.

LIQUOR NOT YET
 TO BE DESTROYED

The condemnatory proceedings institut- ed against the alleged blind tiger oper- ators whose goods were confiscated by the deputies of Sheriff McAdory in va rious raids that have been made during the past few weeks, were passed yester- day morning by Judge E. c.

 Everybody saw that Tag Day was an immense success, so it has only remained to tell the exact result and remind men of the praise due the young ladies and women of this city who worked, and worked hard, to accomplish what they did. If they blossomed out as on May day in the morning they went home some what dropping at night still they ail had good time and enjoyed the many funny people they met and the many strange things they saw.
 One little girl saw a grizzly man in d clerical frock trying to round off the cor her. She knew the psychology of his movement and nabbed him. But she had tough proposition and finally succeeded in getting nickle only after she had ex- p,ained that the Boys club undertook the salvation of the boy heart and soul some what in conformity to the "Ninety-tive Theses"
 Another .oung lady tells of having held up some newly-weds from the country. She begged and pleaded with them to buy a ticket and help in the case of the boys, but they assured her that they didn't need the tickets since they couldn't stay for rhe show so they tugged at their bundles and waited her d goodbye. Still another lass tells of hay ing ripped all the buttons off young mans coat when he attempted to leave without paying, but there was forgive ness all round
