the soldiers got out of town they
took the Elgin road while we were
going the Powhatan road. knew
that Capt. Whit Wasson was at
home from the Confederate army
on furlough and that he was in
danger of being captured by the e
soldiers, so | told my negro to go on
double-quick time to Mr.. Wasson's
house and tell Capt. Wasson about
the federal soldiers being in the
country. When the negro got to
Mr.. Wasson's house the captain had
gone over on the Elein road to visit
a family, and his father got his
horse and started after him. How
ever, Capt. Wasson had learned that
the soldiers were travelling that road
and had hidden out in the brush.
Tne soldiers, as we thought, went
back to Jacksonport.
The next day, Monday, Capt
Whit Wasson, myself and the girls
visited some in the settlement and
after dinner on Tuesday my sister,
Miss Martha and myself, with the
negro boy, started for home, expect
ing to stay that night at Mrs. Simp-
sons. When we 90 to Smithville
these blue-coated fellows had been
there for dinner and had just left,
going west travelling our road. We
expected to run into them again at
any time, but when we got to
Strawberry river, to our great pleas
ure, we found that they had gone
the Salem road. We were truly
glad Of this and hoped that we
would see nothing more of the
soldiers, but when we arrived at
Mrs. Simpsons about sundown her
boss negro man, Mart, had gone
down to the home of John SPOTS,
about mile away, after a colt.
Soon he came back in great hurry
without the colt. He ran into the
iouse and said: Miss Polly, Miss
Polly, when | got nearly to Mr..
SPOTS | was arrested by two feder-
Al soldiers, and looked around and
saw soldiers as thick as blackbirds.
The two men said they would let

bring them a warm supper right
away, and l told them l would, and
Miss Polly, have the girls to cook it
quick" The old darkey was badly
scared, but did not fail to tell the
negro boys to feed all the horses
quickly and take them up Straw
berry river and tie them under a
big bluff. When the supper had
been prepared he hurried off to
deliver it as he had promised, and
returned not so badly scared.
Next morning some twelve or
fifteen Of these soldiers came to the
home of Mrs. Simpson for their
breakfast. Among them | remem-
Der was Reed Shell Of this settle

She Will
Recover

So her doctor said. Her
friends and neighbors felt
sure of it too. They have
used Peruna themselves
and know of its merits.
That old cough that had
worried her for years and
years, for which she had
taken all sorts of cough
medicines, has disappeared.
Peruna is doing the work.
She will recover. Indeed,
she has recovered.
Her name Is Mrs. William
Hohmann, 2764 Lincoln Ave,
Chicago, Ills. She had suffered
with catarrh Of the bronchial
tubes and had a terrible cough
ever since a child. AS she got
older she grew worse. She
coughed both winter and sum-
mer. Had to sit up at night.
Could not sleep. "But all that
has left me now. Peruna has
cured me-"
There are others, and there
Is a reason.

When Peter compared the Christian Jews

Church.
After the Scriptures had been translated
into the common language, and made acces-
slble to the people, the Catholics who read
them saw how an un-Scriptural popery was,
and they abandoned it in multitudes.
What were the prosecuted Lollards of Eng
land, but former Catholics who had read the
Bible IN English, and had quit the Roman
Church?
What were the prosecuted Hussites of
Bohemia. but former Catholics who had heard
the Scriptures read in the common tongue,
and had left Romanism?
The Lutherans Of Germany, the Huguenots
of France. and the "heretics" of Holland had
all been Catholics, before they began to read
the Bible
The Popes and the Roman high priests saw
with dismay what effect Bible-reading had on
the laity, and they Determined to put stop to
it. Hence, the drastic measures taken against
those Catholics who were found with the Book
in their possession
The result of the barbarous and I'M Chris
tan ban against the Scriptures was this:
Those Catholic countries where the Roman
lists could employ force Of arms, to keep the
people in ignorance of the Bible, remained
stationary or went backward in mental,
moral social, political, and economic devel-
opment.
Examples: France, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Austria, South and Central America, Mex
leo, and the Catholic part Of Ireland
In those countries where Bibles were plen-
tlful IN the common tongue, and were so
cheap that every person could afford to own
one, the rise of different Protestant sects
sharpened the wits of the people, stimulated
mental research and exertion, cultivated
spirit Of progress and independence and car
rled the nations forward to the leadership of
the human race.
Examples: Holland, which first estab-
lshed freedom Of religious opinion and wor-
ship; England which first discovered and
successfully colonized the mainland of North
America; Scotland which founded new
schools Of thought. and became beacon light
of intellectual development
France sunk into decay, lost her colonial
empire to Protestant England; but she imme-
dlately entered upon new life of splendor
when she broke away from the Joint rule of
Kings and Popes.
Spain lost her vast dominions in the New
World, sunk into decadence and only gains
now, little by little, as she frees herself from
the cerements of royalty and Romanism

because free from popery.
In the Primitive Christian Church, the
Scriptures were read to the people by their
pastors in the churches, every Sunday. The
letters of Paul, Peter, and James show that
they were meant to be read to the congrega-
tons.

THE eJEFFERSO NHAN

Was there ever low priced Catholic Bible,
issued by the Roman Church, and sold, or
given to the Catholic laity?
Never
Did you ever see Catholic woman with a
Bible in her hands, in her home, lingering
fondly over favorite passages that were balm
to the wounds of life?
Never-and you never will!
(2.) You don't qoant a religion qDhicA yow
can't find IN the Bible
The Old Testament may be searched from
beginning to end, without finding the slight
est reference to any such monstrous system,
as p0pery.
A similar search of the New Testament,
will be equally unsuccessful.
The Apostles were Jews, and their history,
their sacred writings, and the religious sys-
tenn of their race, contained nothing which
bore the faintest resemblance to modern
Romanism.
Scan every line in the New Testament
ascribed to Peter. and you will discover no
hint of a future Pope claiming to be as God
on earth, law unto himself. and Supreme
Ruler of the Universe
Read every verse from the first of Mat
thew, to the last of Revelations; and you will
n find anything that savors of centralized
church, ruled by an infallible autocrat. and
denying the laity any privilege whatever, save
that of paying all the expenses, and o6cying
all the orders.
You can't find Queen of the Heavens in
the Bible.
You can't find any prayers to Mary, and to
Joseph, and to the Saints. in the Bible
You can't find any forgiveness of sins by a
man, in the Bible.
Nor does the Book reveal any private,
secret confessional, any bachelor priesthood,
any purgatory, any continual sacrifice of
Christ on the altar.
So far from issuing church laws which
override State laws and so far from AFRO
eating to the Christian Church supremacy
over the State, Peter himasezf qcrote the
doctrine Of Professionalism, and the Catholic
laymen would see it, if they were allowed to
read the Bible
"Submit yourselves to ecery ordinance Of
man, for the Lords sake whether it be to
the king. as supreme, or to the governors
sent by the king
Thus, in the 18th and 18th verses of Peters
first Epistle, this first of Popes-as the Cath
ohcs regard hlm-utterly demolishes the
papal claim of supreme power over secular
governments, and over the laws enacted by
those governments.
We Protestants stand right there. where
Peter stood; and Peter took his stand where
Christ did, when Christ paid his taxes,
obeyed the laws, and recognized the right of
the State (C@sar) to control all secular
affairs.
(3.) You don't want religion which has
been tl1he1Tng qclth its Bible, and changing
its otcn creed, for nearly 1900 years.
Saint" Jerome collected a number of old
Hebrew manuscripts. about 400 years after
Christ, and made new Bible for the Roman
Church.

WOLVES FEAST ON
FARMERS PORKERS
Bud Beaudean Contributes Two
Shoats to Animals For Day
After Christmas.

A pack of hungry wolves, believed
to have been driven from the swamps
by the recent SHOWS following the dis
astrous fires, appeared at the farm of
Bud Beaudean, short distance south
of this city Saturday night, and killed
and devoured two fat pigs, weighing
more than 100 pounds each.
The fattening hogs were kept in>aI
enclosure a short distance from the
house, and just before retiring Mr..
Beaudean had inspected the fastening
of the gate to make sure that every
thing would be secure for the night.
He was not disturbed at any time, and
was not aware that anything unusual
had occurred until about o'clock the
next morning when he went to feed
the porkers. When he entered the
gate, he discovered the head an,
skeleton of one of his prize animals,
and upon further investigation found
the bones of another lying in fenc'
corner a short distance away.
Upon making a thorough search he
found many tracks, resembling fec.
prints of dog, except that they were
much larger, and when it occurred TO
him that a pack of wolves had been
seen crossing a field near Rock Levee
Station the day before, he came to the
conclusion that his pig pen had bee
invaded by this same collection of
hungry providers, and that they were
responsible for the loss of his shoats.
In speaking of the occurrence, Mr..
Beaudean stated that he was not the
first farmer in the neighborhood to
lose livestock by wolves, and that only
short time ago, a yearIing colt be-
longing TO his neighbor, Henry La
Forte, was attacked in the barn lot
and killed and eaten by the hungry
animals.
Hunting parties have been organic

famished creatures or driving them
out of the comm, unity, but thus far.

through fright to take up the chase.

CAPE man INVENTS
LIFE SAVING BRAKE.
August Wagner Says New Device
Will Save Lives of Railroad
Passengers.

August Wagner of 737 Themis
street, this city, has just perfected
what is believed to be one of the most
important safety devices known to the
railroad service. His patent has been
been issued and he has constructed a
perfect working model with which he
demonstrates the merits of his inven-
ton.
The mechanical arrangement which
he has devised is patent brake for
car wheels in which the brake beam
is entirely eliminated, and the brakes
are applied by means of rocker
arms extending along the sides of the
wheels from the center of the trucks.
In explaining the merits of his in
vention, Mr.. Wagner said: "Many
wrecks and much loss of life and
property has resulted from broken
brake beams.
81 propose to establish a system OF
brakes whereby every danger of that
character will be removed, and numer-
Gus other features of advantage will
be offered.
"Under the old method, a broken
brake beam will destroy the effective
ness of the brakes if it does not cause
wreck, while with the rocker arms
such as l propose to use, if one of
them is broken the remaining three
brakes will still be operative and the
broken piece will be held in position
by the hanger and cannot possibly
cause any injury to either the car or
the track. Many switchman under the
present system of brakes, fall in front
of cars and are struck and killed by
| the brake beams, which danger is
completely removed by my invention,
and as 1 use no brake beams a ca,
would pass over a mans body without
touching him.
"Many experts in car construction
/ have expressed the opinion that in a
short time my invention will be put
in general use and that they consider
it as important an advancement in the
way of safety appliance as was the
air brake and the automatic coupler"
Mr.. Wagner is machinist of more
than local reputation, and has been in
the car construction service for many
! years.
~. For the past five years he has been
at work in an endeavor to perfect tn,
device upon which he has Just receiv-
ed his patent, and though he has done
but little as yet towards interesting
the railroad operators, in his new ap-
pliance, he has received much en-
couragement, and feels conftXnt t.
his efforts will be rewarded AIM lIT
patent accepted by all the railroad,
of the country.
