Wood Alcohol.
Especial to The Argus,

Orion. Ill. Nov. 2O.-The community
was shocked to hear the announcement
of the death of Benjamin F. Stevens,
aged 6S years, which occurred this
morning at his home one mile west
of Orion from asphyxiation. At 8 a m.
he took from the house a teakettle OF
boiling water saying he was going to
the garage to start his auto so that it
would not freeze. At 10:45 his wife,
wanting the teakettle. went in search
of same and found her husband lying
dead in front of the car in the garage.
He had added wood alcohol to the
radiator and the engine was running.
1t is supposed that death was caused
from the gas from the exhaust of the
car and the fumes from the alcohol in
the closed garage.
He was a highly respected citizen
and a member of the Sherman Ma
sonic lodge in Orion. He leaves his
wife and two daughters, Mrs. James

METHODISTS LEADING IN
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTEST

The November attendance contest
between the mems classes of the First
Methodist, Broadway Presbyterian and
First Baptist churches of the city still
stands in the order in which the
names are given. Or rather. il does
not stand 1t all. but is moving lively.
There are still two Sundays remain
ing in the month, and the men in Sec
ond and third place still have a fight
ing chance. These two Sundays, II is
hoped. the men of the city will make
an opportunity to investigate these
Classes and support whichever one
they desire.
The study of each is directed along
somewhat different lines, but all are
working TO the same end, which is to
apply practical christianity to the
solution of the vital problems of the
day.
The Methodist men use the regular
international lessons. as outlines for
the Sunday work. The class is led by
Edwin Dice, who draws out a discus
sion on the connection of the biblical
teachings to modern. everyday sub
jects. Next Sunday the trial of Jesus
before plate will be discussed. and
pointed questions have been sent to
different members of the class, which
will undoubtedly draw out some in
teresting phases OF the question.
The Broadway Mems class has
course of study outlined by the Amer
lean Institute OF Social Service. which
contains a series of industrial and
social subjects. with the solutions
based on some scrip;ural teaching.
