Terminal Facilities.

After thanking the directors for
their action on the question, Captain
Campbell turned his attention to ter
minal facilities. He illustrated his
talk by bringing to the memory of his
hearers the way in which the big
railroad systems had bought up all
terminal facilities, where they were in
any danger of competition by trans.
portation by water.
In few MONTHS said the speaker,
the manufacturing center of the
country will be entirely changed One
cause of this will be the Panama
canal, the other will be the water
power plant that is now under con.
struction here. Yesterday, accom-
panied by Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Ira
wick, was taken over the dam and
can say that it is the most monu
mental piece of work that have ever
seen. Backed by the brain of MIR
Cooper and financed by some Of the
strongest men in the moneyed world
the opportunities that it affords Keo
kuk are practically without limit
"My idea for this city is a munich

amount of power to be generated here

Mayor Elder Objects.

Mayor Elder. after the speaker had
finished, started discussion in re-
gard to the rates now in effect and
said that in his estimation the Pan
ANA canal would not be factor IN
the troubles of the Mississippi valley
shippers for the simple reason that no
attention would be paid to them by
the railroads. He did not think that
the canal would act as regulator of
traffic rates in the slightest degree.
In regard to this he said that the
freight billed to the Pacific coast from
the Atlantic seaboard and vice versa
would be shipped through the canal
at much lower rates, to be sure. 3nt
would there be distributed to points
only a few hundreds miles by rail-

ELOQUENT DIVINE
OPENS MISSION IN
AN EARNEST SERMON
DR.. l. n. WEBBER-THoMPS Is
HEARD AT ST. PETERS
CHURCH.
ON THE TRANSPORTED LIFE
Before Beginning the Discourse the
Speaker Explains Purpose of the
Mission in Most Helpful and Con-
vincing Manner.

DR.. l. H. Webber-Thompson, the
forerunner of Archdeacon Percy
Weber. opened the mission at st.
Peters church Thursday night and
preached most interesting and
helpful sermon.
AS a prelude before his sermon he
explained what mission is, and he
told it in a way that was convincing,
helpful anu so that the smallest child
could understand it. His eXplana-
ton of the mission was this way ut
is a time CT sowing; time of spirit
endued by Gods Holly Spirit from
ON high. He used many methods of
explaining the meaning of the mis-
sion. He likened each member OF
the Parish unto Phillip, who was the
first missionary.
The sermon was on the "Transfig-
dred Life" an exhortation to turn
from the commonplace things of life
and let Christ come is and trans
form and transfgure all of sin and
sclfistness into real beauty and work
for God and man.
In explaining the subject of the
sermon. Dr. Weber Thompson used
some beautiful word pictures. He
painted the beauty of the rising sun
on the Atlantic as it rose above the
mists Of the great ocean and spread
abroad its great light giving powers;
the midday sun on the desert AS it's
radiance shown down upon the glis-
'tening sands and sent forth the al
most binding lights to the human
eye then he painted the beauties of
the sun setting as it went down be-
hind the peaceful Pacific, the most
magnificent sight the human eye ever
beheld; this all added together would
pale into insignihcance compared
with the radiance of the face of the
Son Of God when he appeared to his
chosen three upon the Mount Of
TRANSPORTATION.
DR.. Webber-Thompson conducted
the communion service this morning
at 1870 o'clock which service will
take rlace at the same hour during
the entire weeks duration of the mis-
sion.
Archdeacon Weber, who closed a
most successful and interesting mis-
sion at Fayetteville Thursday night,
will arrive this afternoon and will
preach tonight. He is one of the
worlds greatest preachers.
The public is cordially invited to
come and bring a friend to each SER
vice of the mission. The missioner
explained that the watchwords are
Come Pray. Invite" He laid
great stress on these three words
and insisted that every member of
the parish remember them and carry
them out, and that not only the mem
bers of the parish, but others as well.

NO COURT IN GILES
BECAUSE FARMERS
BEHIND WITH WORK
SIMILAR CONDITIONS MAY PRE-
VAIL HERE WHEN REGULAR
TERM COMES IN MAY.
MIsDEMEANORs ON MAY 3
The Only Way to Get Jury Was to
Take Men Away From the Fields
and an Adjournment Was Decided
Upon.

Judge Turner and Attorney Gener-
al Frierson have been at home the
larger portion of this week on ac-
count of an adjournment of court at
Pulaski. After a consultation with
the lawyers and a number of farmers
ii was thought best to give the reo-
pie chance to stay with their farm
work while the weather was favora-
Dle. There were not enough people
n attendance on the court to make
up the usual quota of juries, AMI the
only way to have gotten them would
nave been TO have gone to the farms
and taken them into town with an
officer, and under the conditions the
court did not feel that such a pro-
ceeding was at all warranted; hence
the adjournment.
1t is said that never before has
there been SO few people in attend
ance on the proceedings of the court.
On Friday, May 3, the court will
be IN session to hear misdemeanor
cases, and to arrange for such other
matters as the court in it's judgment
may deem fiji and proper.
Then on the following Monday
the court will be taken here and the
first case will be that of Cobe New
by charged with the killing of y,ung
Matthew's.
The regular term of the court will
follow two weeks later, when the
docket will be taken in regular order
for the May term.
There are several cases of impor-
lance docketed, but if the weather
conditions are favorable to farm
work at that time it is quite likely
that similar action to that had in
Giles county this week will be had
here, as the farmers in this county
are also very much behind with their
work in every department.
Perhaps there has never been a
time when the farm work in the
county was as backward as it Is this
season, and with the continued rains
the farmers are making very little
progress in catching up.

On Biddle field Saturday perhaps
the greatest game of ball was play
ed there that will occur on that dia-
mond during the entire season. 1t
was the contest between the Sixth
street Hardheads and the Ninth
street sluggers.
The game was pulled off in the best
of humor with the score going II to

swearing vengeance on the boys from
the foot of the knob. After the game
the victors took in all the northwest

HOOPER'S HEALTH
CAUSING ALARM
MAY WITHDRAW FROM THE CAM.
PAiGN, FRIENDS
SAY.

NASHVILLE, Apr. 29.-Republi-
cans of Tennessee are entertaining
grave fears that their leader Gov B.
w. Hooper, who has been ill for sew
erai weeks, will not sufficiently re-
cover his health to make the race for
governor this fall against the demo
cratic nominee. Those of the repub-
licans who are depending on the gov
ernor for their Offices are especially
anxious for speedy recovery.
The troubles and worries of gu
bernatorial campaign is trying even
on the strongest of men. Gov. Hoop
er's illness is not of serious nature,
but if he does not improve it may be
so serious that it will stand in the
way of his making an active cam
paign for the governorship. He
seems to be suffering nervous
breakdown which will not permit him

time He has been nervous since 60
ing through the last campaign, and
subsequently taking up matters OF
state in an unsettled legislature ad-
ded to his worries. These, however,
did not cause him to leave off his du-
ties until few days ago.
The campaign this fall bids fair to
be long and strenuous. Besides the
election of a full state ticket, there
are the big Offices to be filed at
Washington. 1t will require iron
nerves on the part of those whose
fate is in the balance to stand the
strain. Some republicans are fearing
that Gov. Hooper, in his present STATE
of health, will be unable to meet the
demands of the occasion.
His friends, however, are standing
by him and aiding him in his Illness

DIR. THOMPSON ON
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Eminent DIVINE DELIVERS AD-
DRESS ON TRUE AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP.

DR.. l. V. Webber-Thompson visited
the Columbia High School this morn
ing and made an address at the devo-
tional exercises. True American
Citizenship" was the subject of his
talk, and the speaker spoke of the
American flag as the symbol which
stands for all that is true and free
and brave AS the background of the
nag is white so the background of
every true Americans life should be
the white of purity. The blue in the
flag stands for that quality of char
acter which we call "True Blue" the
quality of character that makes a
man stand for the thing that is right,
the thing that is noble. The stripes
Of red in the flag stand for that quail
ty of life tEat we call love. The new
er failing, undying love, the love for
family, for country, and for God that
makes a man or woman give all that
is best in their lives to their country
and to their God. Then there are the
stars on the flag. This stands for the
bright or star of holiness which
makes each life shine forth as a re-
Election of the life and holiness of
G6od The life Of the true Ameri-
can, man or woman, must be made up
of these qualities represented by our
glorious flag.

A. n. johnson and Gotham Bros Are
Joint Owners of the Device-.Eodei
on Exhibition at the JeweIry Store
This Week.

A. II. Johnson, jeweler at Gotham
Bros, has just completed, put in
working order and some time ago
made application for letters patent, a
flushing valve that is an innovation
in its line.
1t is designed for closets, lavato-
ries, dental offices, optical Offices, or
any place where flushing is necessa-
ry, and has many advantageous fea-
lures. 1t is very compact, being
much smaller than any flushing
valve at present on the market, and
can be made at very small cost
from casting, brass or silver. II is
adjustable in that it can be arrang-
ed to discharge several gallons of
water or only few ounces and then
shuts off automatically. 1t can also
be arranged for operation by lever
or foot pressure, has no packing, ne
parts to wear, is frictionless, no rub
Der, no leather, and it is claimed by
tie designer that it will force water
to any height of the natural city
pressure through the pipe. The
valve may be placed in immediate
connection with the flushing point or
may be arranged any distance away,
upstairs, downstairs or off to one
side, 1t matters not.
Mr.. Johnson has been three or
four months completing his designs
and perfecting it's working qualities,
and now has a handmade model on
exhibition at the store. This model,
however, is much larger than is in
tended for ordinary use and is made
large in order that the working parts
may be more infinitely explained and
