Rev. X. +. Cookingham greeted large
congregation in the Opera Hall Sunday
night, at his regular Sunday evening ser
vice. A feature Of the service was vocal
solo by Miss Frenzel accompanied on the
piano by Miss kavanaugh. Rev. Cooking
ham in his sermon took occasion to remark
that the act of dancing in itself was not
harmful, IL each married man would dance
with his own wife and each single man
would dance with his mother OF sister. II
is the dancing with some other mans wife
or sister that is wrong in the eyes OF the
Methodist Church. In illustrating his SER
mon Rev. Cookingham very gracefully took
a turn around the stage using the waltz
step, and said there was no harm in that.

preparations for her arrival. Upon arriv-
ing at his claim he built fire in his stove
and shortly afterwards the stove pipe ex-

to Minor Wednesday for medical treat
men,. II is supposed that some party
placed gun powder in the stove pipe for a
joke and the inquiry was to find out Who
was the Joker. One Of his neighbors was
suspected but the inquiry did not develop
any evidence against him. and the CHASTITY
Joke" remains a mystery. The victim
was filled with pieces Of stove pipe and it
is question whether he will recover.
