mo English Lutheran mission
which has been conducted here for
eevera, wears has been organized into
regular church. About thirty years
ago q Lutheran church was started In
Keokuk services Of which We're con-
ducted in the German language. At
frs, It prospered but reverse came
and soon the church succumed and
was no more. The old members drifted
into the other churches and the orga-
nization was almost lost to memory.
IN September the mission, of which
the newly organized church is the off
spring, was established here, occupy
,np the old German Methodist church
building at Fourteenth and Exchange
streets. under the care of an active
Young college student by the name
If Weider. who continued until the
summer of 1909 when l.. w. Strieter,
another student, took charge and con-
tinued until July, 1910. He is now
missionary in Brazil, South America.
Rev. W. E. Jupge, the present pastor
was installed August IA, 1910, and was
the first regularly ordained minister
in charge of the mission. Besides
this charge he was placed in the care
Of another congregation six miles west
Of Alexandria, Mo-, and recently has
had added to his work a congregation
five miles west of Milton, Iowa. He
has done splendid work in Keokuk
as is evidenced by the strength of
the church today as compared with
the little mission he found on his TAX
ing charge only a few months over a
year ago. He is quiet and unassum-
ing in his labors, but is bright, ener-
getic and persistent in his PASTORAL
labors, besides being an interchangeable
student The work was like climbing
up very steep hill when he came
here, but the little mission has grown
until It was found necessary by the
congregation to lift some Of the bur-
them upon their own. He had hereto
fore the entire management of af-
fairs, many of which will now be
transformed to the officials who have
just been selected, or will be at the
meetings to follow that held last night.
The membership has grown grad
ually along ever since Rev. Junge has
been in charge, but since September,
only few days over three months
ago, the church has doubled its mem
hership and the Sunday school has
sairod in like proportion.
There are now two regularly organ.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Under orders
from Fire Chief Kenlon, police at
2:1O began clearing the American Ma
tional Exchange bank building at 1875
Broadway, of all tenants The great
bank itself was ordered closed. No
person is allowed in the vicinity Of the
Cedar street side of the wrecked
Equitable Life building, the walls on
that side having bulged two feet and
bing in danger of falling in momen-
tarily. Great damage to the American
Exchange National bank building
would follow. The falling of the Cedar
street walls would also probably pre-
cipitate the front walls into Broadway.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Jan. 1O.-Owing to
the serious situation confronted by the
water commission in supplying the
city with water, schools and hospitals
were without water today. Because
of the shortage, water is now being
pumped through the mains without

Every effort is being made to place
the pumping stations in working order
again, but the situation is still SER

The Woman In the Case.

4 messenger bearing these dreadtuI

on the front gallery enjoying the
freshness OF the morning He came
from Tom Strickland himself.
Colonel Todhunter received the
news in silence, his gray brows bent
until his eyes were but two glints oil

lips set in an infexible line.
Tell Tom I'll be with him right

to the Jail. The moment his eyes fell
on Tom Stricklands face he knew
that the lad had been drinking heay-

the Colonel spoke.
