TURKISH QUESTION
AT TENT MEETING
Between Five and Six Hundred PEG
Pile Attended the Service
Last Evening.
[Contributed.1

ICOntr1Duted.J
The interest in the Turkish aae :.
ton as given in the Bible, was 80
Lleat that when the song service
gan last evening, almost every seat in
the large tent was taken, and by the
time the lecture began every avail
able seat and chair was occupied,
while large numbers remained stand
ing outside the tent. Although the
attendance was large, being conserv
atively estimated at between hve and
six hundred. the order was perfect
and al! gave marked attention to the
remarkable prophecy from the ninth
chapter of Revelation. concerning the
rise Of the Ottoman empire. This Is
one Of the very few prophecies in the
Bible that foretell an event to the
exact day of the month, and this
prophecy was made almost eighteen
hundred years before It cana to pass.
Two years before the Turks lost their
independence on the 18th day Of lug
ust, 1910, the Lord unfolded this
prophecy to a faithful Methodist min.
lister, who made 1t known to the world.
The great majority of people just
scoffed at the idea, but their scof1ng
did not in the least hinder the fulfill
ment of the prophecy; and the thous-
ands who did believe 1t were not dis
appointed when on the exact day fore
told in prophecy, August II, 1910, the
affairs of the Turkish empire passed
into the hands of receivers, SO to
speak, the great powers Of Europe,
and It is just at the sufferance of these
powers that Turkey has existed since
that time.
In the study tonight Of this great
question from Daniel it will be found
that this condition of affairs is not
long. A preliminary step In this d.
rection, which has been taken by Tur-
key within the last two weeks, was
spoken Of last night. The Bible
states just what the end Of the sick
man of the east" will be, and what
disposition WILL be made Of him. Also
it plainly tells Of An event Of tre-
mendous moment to every resident
Of Keokuk and vicinity, which will
take place just at that time.

GROUNDS ARE CITED
In TWO Cases II 10 Claimed That
Verifying Witnesses Had No
Personal Knowledge Of
Residence.

Motions to dismiss have been
filed in three immigration cases, by
United States Commissioner Bevins-
ton of st. Louis. These three appli-
cations will come up some time next
week together with the other matters
which will be brought up at the nat

the day for the hearing, but owing to
the postponement OF court for .
week, the date OF hearing has been
put over.
The cases in which applications to
dismiss have been fled are those Of
Isaac Bork, William Pierre Blondet
and Ottoman Karl Seise.
In the case OF Isaac Bork, the
commissioners asks that his case be
dismissed nthe grounds that the
verifying witnesses did not have
personal knowledge Of the fact that
the petitioner resided In the United
States for the required length OF
time, continuously.
Practically the same grounds for

In the case Of Seise, the govern

grounds that his application has been
pending since April II, 1913. and
that it had been continued several
times. and that 1t is believed that rea-
sonable time has been given in which
to bring 1t up.
Two applications for citizenship
will be heard before Judge Hamilton

It would be practically impossible to
