Sunday at the Churches

The morning service at the
Methodist church last Sunday was
devoted to the children, about
twenty-five being received into
church membership.
Two or three weeks previously,
the pastor had referred to the ad-
vanced step taken by the last
general conference as to the church's
relation to children, and announced
that, if any children of the con-
gregation desired to identify them
selves with the church, the dis
cipline provided for their reception,
and asked all applicants to meet
him at the parsonage on the follow
ing Wednesday evening. There he
held conference with them and
gave them pastoral instruction ar
ranging for thei public reception on
Sunday March 9TH.
The children ranged in age from
seven to fourteen. The sermon of
the morning was from the word
"Watch," and was both approp-
rate and instructive. At its close,
the band of little ones who had
knocked for admission, was asked
to from about the altar, parents
and teachers taking their positions
Immediately behind them.
The service was one of the most
impressive ever held in the church,
and as the children gave their re-
sponses in clear, decisive tones, no
one could doubt the sincerity of
their purpose to dedicate their
young lives to the Master and live
for Him.
Appropriate music had been
selected for the occasion, and as
the choir sang the beautiful words,
"Savior, like a Shepherd lead me-"
the silent "Amen's'' of parents and
older members went up in their
behalf, for the weight of respon-
si5ility which the occasion imposed
was not overlooked by thoughtful |
members of the congregation.
This was Mr.. Lowance's last |
morning sermon, his final one for
the conference year coming on the
night of the third Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Parker filled his ap-
pointment at the Presbyterian
church at 7 o'clock. He is preach
ing a series of sermons on Elijah,
that of Sunday night being the
fourth or fifth of the series. Read
ers and students of the bible have
followed the pastor with deep in
terest in his talks on this most in
teresting man of bible history, and
Mr.. Parker has brought out many
striking and impressive lessons,
aptly applying them to everyday
life. |

CHARGES
 UNDER GOING ACT
 ARE DISMISSED
Is.,5b l.--- f' 1s'tla --l1. Court Approves Action of Prosecuting Attorney in
 Gushing Indictments.

One indictment against Dave Ber- lin and two against James !. Dowd were -quashed yesterday by Prosecute ing Attorney T. c. Parham with the approval of Circuit Judge A. B. Grace. Berlin and Dowd were indicted on charges of perjury in connection with the petition for licensing saloons un- der the Going liquor law. The alle- gatiqz sSfAS tliat| fl.e.y$ had made affi- davit to witnessing certain Signatures to the petition, when they had not done so. The validity of the sigma lures was not attacked, and the only question of wrong involved was a technical one under the Going law which stipulates that those making affidavits as to genuineness of sigma lures should have actually witnessed the affiXing of name by signatories.
 Judge Grace expressed doubt of obtaining convictions under tho cir cumstances, because of the technical nature of the cases, and intimated that the public interest did not de- nand prosecution of the charges at this time
 It is not believed there was intent to commit fraud. and if any offense was committed it was due to misun- derstanding of the Going law.

san, Francisco, Oct. 1S.-An ardent wooer is Count Kalman Szaky. Once he stormed the heart of Mrs. Maude Howard Bryan, widow of wealthy San Francisco publisher, won it, and then lost it with the accompanying American millions. Now he has stormed and won it again.
 Countess Szaky, at least, comedies as mnch. The countess told her titled husband last April to leave her and find job. The count went away. The separation did not prove perma- nent and now the Magyar nobleman is to be rejoined by his American wife.
 The countess will not say whether her husband found the job, or not.
 Don't ask me about it," she says. 'We arc reconciled-yes. But as to the future, that I shall not discuss"
 It is understood that the countess will be rejoined by her husband in

PHYSICIANS URGE ]. ENFORCEMENT OF
 QUARANTINE LAW
County Medical Society Calls Attention to Danger of Lax Quarantine.

The necessity of strictly enforcing the quarantine laws, and thus pre- venting a spread of diptheria and scarlet fever was again emphasizeI yesterday, when pr. E. c. McMullen and Dr. c. K. Caruthers. president and secretary respectively of the Jef- ferson County Medical society, issued a statement relative to local ccndi- tions in this respect, the action being in accord with 2 resolution adopted at a meeting of the society Tuesday.
 Mayor Bloom called attention to the conditions some time ago, and stated that the city authorities were doing everything possible to prevent a spread of the two diseases.
 Physicians Counsel Care.
 The statement issued yesterday by Dr. McMullen and pr. Caruthers for the county .medical society, is as fo,- lows:
 "In view of the fact that several new cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever have made their appearance recently, we wish to- again call at tention to the quarantine laws.
 "Irrespective of what has been the custom and practice in this regard it will be necessary in the future to maintain strict observance of the quarantine laws as they now exist.
 "Instances are reported of contagi- ous diseases existing within the city limits without isolation, friends and relatives going and coming at will. This is absolutely unlawful and is obviously against the best interests of our community.
 Lax quarantine is q menace to the well being of our school children and inhabitants in general. The people themselves should not only be cog nixant of the law. but should see that it is enforced. Right minded people do not object to quarantine and pub lie sentiment should demand that all submit to quarantine if contagious disease develops in the house" 4,
