Mr. Rose. who will have charge OF
the singing during the meetings, sang
two solos that were greatly appre-
ciated by the congregation, and
proved conclusively that he is the
right man for the position he occu-
pies with DR.. Bulgin. He is a cul-
tured soloist and many were heard
to re\ark that the singing alone
was worth braving the rain and mud
to hear.
DR.. Bulgin appeared before the au-
dience and announced that his theme
would be The Motives of Service"
taking for his text the 18th and 10th
chapter of Matthew. 1t was a mas
terrul sermon, scholarly, eloquent
ana sensible and his audience was
swept from time 10 time by the force
Of his irresistible logic DR.. Bu.gin
was practicng lawyer for five
years before entering the ministry
and he discussed many points Of his
lecture from a lawyers standpoint.
A travelling man who was present
last night stated that when DR.. Bul.
gin got started the people OF ArdA

that they would not find him to be
the hair Drained emotional evangel.

sections, but an evangelist of the
Apostolic type who took the Book and
preached from it, letting the chips
fall where they might, but always
has behind him the Word of God.

DEPUTY QUICK TO ACT
Used Handouts Instead of Requisition
Papers to Bring His Man Over
State Line

Marshall, Mimi, March 26.-Dep-
uty Sheriff o. H. Clark of this
county had only requisition papers
from the governor of Iowa when he
went to a small village in Nebraska
near the Iowa line yesterday to ar
rest Paul Paulson, charged with
having misappropriated $4,000 that
belonged TO j. Fl. Leas of Cotton
wood.
Fearing that Paulson might resist
removal from the Cornhusker state,
Clark seized his prisoner, linked the
man to himself by means of a
hapdcuff and compelled him to walk
the three miles that would place
them on Iowa soil.
Paulson was in charge of ditch
ing gang at work near Cottonwood
and it is said he was given the
$4,000 to pay the workmen. After
he received the money, he disap-
peared.

The congregation was greatly in
terested last night as Mr.. Briggs
spoke from the topic, Jacob, the
Wrestler" In a number of ways,
Jacob with his weakness and strength
is a type of us. There did come a
time in his life when higher ideals
and purposes formed larger part
of his life. The great moment of
his life came on the night when he
wrestled with God. 1t was then
that he came up to a niger plane

Mr. Briggs was this: "By no law of

THIS BOY WAS CURIOUS
Wanted to Find Out What Dynamite
Was Made For; the Bad
Result

Last Sunday afternoon Eddie Jones,
a twelve year old Nashville lad, pos
sessed of a boys curiosity, endeavor-
ed to find out what would happen
when a small quantity of dynamite
is placed upon rock and struck
with a hammer, says The Fairmont
Sentinel
Most of the thumb and first finger
of the left hand are gone and the
hand somewhat mangled otherwise.
Drs. Hunte and Nelson of Truman
hurried out to the Jones place and
dressed the injuries and if there are
no complications Eddie will have a
pretty fair hand left, although it is
something like two digits shy.
The injured lad is a son of Mrs.
Arthur Jones, widow who recently
returned to Nashville township from
Arkansas, after a years residence
there, during which time she was be-
reaved of her husband and one son.

STUDENTS WILL DEBATEARMY OF JOB HUNTERS
One Out of Every Forty. seven Men Who
Voted For Wilson Wants
Place

Washington, March 26.-When fed
eral statisticians finished figuring
today, they discovered that just one
out of every forty-seven men who
voted for Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent was a candidate for a federal
position. They also deduced the
fact that there will be an army of
heart-sick and disappointed office
seekers numbering upwards of 121,-
900, for there are 1884 jobs to be
filled and 131,530 patriots who have
signified their willingness to aid the
government.
The question of patronage is CIV
ing President Wilson and members
OF his cabinet some uneasy hours
Every effort is being made to spare
the feelings of those whose appli-
cations must be turned down, while,
at the same time, the available and
fit men for the various places are
being sought. The task of singing
out the proper material without
causing offense to those whose am
billions necessarily must be wrecked
in the process has proved to be a
task
While Postmaster General Burle-
son has the distribution of a greater
number of 'plums" than any other
member Of the cabinet, he is in a
happy position as compared with
Secretary Wilson of the new depart
ment OF labor. Mr.. Wilson must Or
ganize his entire department and,
although he has at his disposal only
twelve positions, he has more than
5000 applications on file.
