THE JUSTICE COURTS.

Marshal Greenwood of Cassville, ap-
pretended one Of the men whom he
believes, was concerned in the Klindt-
Geiger Co., robbery at Cassville two
weeks ago and a man named Harry
Williams is locked up in the county
bastile on a charge of breaking and
entering. Mr.. Greenwood looked all
over the south part of the county and
even into Iowa for traces of the burg
lars, and Friday week ago picked
up and lost the trail at the Massey
vile bridge where the timber swal-
lowed all clues. On Tuesday last Mr.
Greenwood picked up Williams at PO-
tOsi and went down and made the ar
rest. Williams wore mackinaw lat
er identified to be one of the missing
articles from the Cassville store. A
suit case was also shipped back from
Galena which it is said had been
checked there by Williams. This con-
tanned three suits of clothes and an
extra pair of trousers which were iden-
titled as some of the missing property.
Sheriff He'll brought Williams here
Wednesday and arraigned him before
Justice G. w. Burrows. Preliminary
examination was waived and the case
will probably come up at the next term
of court. Williams it is said recently
served a term of ninety days in the
Galena Jail.

REECO MOTOR CARS.

Nearly sixty people took the special
train last Wednesday and made the
trip to GAINESVILLE where they inspect
ed the "Reeco Railway Motor Car"
the same being on exhibition on the
Milwaukee tracks in that city. The
"Reeco" car is manufactured by the
Railway Equipment Engineering Com
pany of Chicago, and is something
quite new in traction vehicles. 1t is
gasoline propelled, there being a six
cylinder motor in the base of the car
and the power is applied to each wheel
making it a traction wheel.
The Reeco people claim that they
can haul passengers for less than half
a cent a mile. The car on exhibition
at GAINESVILLE is being used at present
on the new traction line between De-
Iavan and Whitewater where this type
of equipment is installed. F. P. Barn
EFT says the car is virtually an automo-
bile on track.
The Lancaster party left about sew
ell o'clock in the morning, arriving at
GAINESVILLE in time for dinner, and leav-
ing there at five, with an hour for
supper at Madison. They report a
very pleasant trip.

Savior. sympathetic, tender and full
of compassion, like his Master, he is
at the same time bold with the bold
ness of the true prophet. His cour-
age is that of a man who stands upon
the platform Of truth and is conscious
that he has a message of life Sunday
night he preached great sermon on
the question asked by Jesus Himself:
Whom Say Ye That / Am"
The sermon was a strong defense of
the Deity of Christ and the line of
argument was deduced entirely from
the Scriptures. The testimony of his
friends and enemies was offered to
show that not only did his intimate
friends believe Him to be but even
the devils knew Him to be the Son of
God, DR.. Toy said: cit takes brains
to be an Infdel" Infidelity does not
work 1t gets you nowhere. Belief
in Jesus Christ as the Son of God is
essential to salvation, and it is such
belief that has made martyrs and mis-
sionaries.
The preacher took occasion to eX-
press his opinion of Mary Baker Ed
dy in no uncertain language. Quoting
from her book, Science and Health, he
called her the arch imposter, and here
tic of the time. Then he paid his
respects to Pastor Russell, who, he
said never was pastor and never or
dained to the gospel ministry. His
denunciation Of him was scathing and
severe.
The services will continue indefin-
itely every night except Monday

age, both settling in New Jersey,
where they were married November Z,
1850. After living in New Jersey for

REVIVAL is on.

Last Sunday the Union revival, con-
Quoted by Evangelist Toy and party
opened at the rink A good audience
was present for the opening services.
The churches of the city abandoned
their regular services and all went TO
hear the first sermon OF the campaign
1t was good to see the hundreds or
people streaming toward the rink. The
very first meeting showed that rellg-
ion is not on the decline in Lancas-
ter, and as DR.. Toy said, victory is
assured from the very first.
A very prominent feature OF this
campaign is the music, there being a
trained choir of one hundred and
twenty-five voices under the very cap
able and inspiring leadership OF Prof.
Frederic G. Balmond. The enthusiasm
is contagious and is going to mean
much to the success of these services.
One is thrilled and moved in an un-
usual way by the splendid singing OF
'sThe Awakening Chorus" and All
Hail Emmanuel" These are nightly
mighty choruses and Prof. Balmond
knows how to get the most out OF
them. In addition to his capable
leadership he is a soloist of unusual
ability and sings not only with rellg-
ious ferver, but with artistic skill, as
he possesses a rich and virile as we'll
as trained voice. 1t is worth while
to hear him sing the songs OF the
Kingdom Too much praise cannot be
given to Miss Elizabeth Goble, the
skilled accompanist, who understands
every wish of the leader. Her coop
GRAFTON and sympathetic response with
the piano has much to do with the
success of the music.
An all around indispensable fellow is
Rev. Potts. He is the business manag-
err, and as Dr.. Toy wittily called him
''the dumping ground" of the whole
affair. He is big, burly, good-natur-
ed son of Erin, so if you have kick
to register you will find him accom-
modating enough to listen. 1t will do
YOU good to know him and he will bear
acquaintance.
Seldom does one have the privilege
of listening to a preacher with such
a command of the Scriptures as has
DR.. Toy His sermons are packed
from beginning to end with apt quota
tions from Gods Word and never does
he make an assertion of truth with
out giving a '"Thus Saith the Lord"
Then, too, he is a man of much and
varied experience, so that his ilustra-
lions are many and always to the
point. His is a heart on fire with a
love for Jesus Christ and a passion
to see men accept Him as Lord and
