special effort on his part or that OF
the officers at any quarterly meeting
services in the history of the church.
Indeed, no pastor has ever been re-
ceived by the members of Bethel with
greater expressions of cordiality and de-
votion. 1t must be admitted any large
church carries with it not only on Sun
days, but every day in the week great
and numerous responsibilities which
can only be successfully carried on by
its Pastor possessing constructive abil-
ity, religious zeal, physical power and
financial shrewdness-Bethel with its
well-organized and harmonious workers
of officials, great, Sunday School
and Allen Christian Endeavor So
ciety, three powerful choirs, render
ing service every Sunday, one for
the regular morning and evening
services; one for the morning overflow
meetings held in the lecture room; one
for the Allen Endeavor League, to-
gether with the Sunday school orches-
ira, all rendering faithful service every
Sunday and the several well organized
working clubs, presents a very for
midable combination to strengthen
Rev. Cook in his pastoral position.
Back of this host are the members and
a vast multitude of God loving people
who regularly worship in Bethel. Sure
" Rev. Cook can with propriety stand
among the grand galaxy of great and
good men in the Centennial Conference
in Philadelphia and point to loyal
Bethel as second to none in the great
African Methodist connection, and also
with pardonable pride say: 81 am the
twenty-ffth pastor in succession of the
great lighthouse of African Methodisn
of the west, lighthouse with the bril-
liancy of a powerful searchlight cast
ing its rays in every direction, light
house filled with humble followers OF
the blessed Savior, the Prince OF
Peace"

reason of the extensive Negro popula-
ton, and yet it is the testimony OF
many of the most reputable Southern
newspapers, backed by various court
records, that marked increase in crime
has followed closely upon the adoption
of anti-liquor laws, attributable di-
rectly to the immediate development of
illicit traffic. In such localities, as
everywhere in dry territory, the clos
ing of the openly conducted shop and
bar has meant the multiplication of
the secret still, the prompt appearance
of the "bootlegger and the opening
of the illegal den with all its vicious
features. 1t is the admission of many
employers of labor, especially in min
ing, numbering and kindred industries,
that whereas Prohibition seemed desir-
able before it was enforced, its result
has been increased drunkenness and
greater loss of efficiency, this by reason
of the use of secretly purchased and
quickly consumed liquor of far greater
Supplying and poisoning power than
that which was available when the
traffic was open"

fore the death of Rev. Smythe that b.
could not recover from his sickness
All eyes were focused on Bethel. What
man should fill the pulpit was on the
minds of many. The officers in due
respect would not suffer the question
to be mentioned while Rev. Smythe
continued to live, feeling sure that his
place would be aceeptably filed when
he passed away. Ri. Rev. Bishop Ben
jamin F. Lee, being present at the
funeral, when approached by the off,
GERS of the church, informed them he
would appoint as Rev. Smythe's sue
cessor any one of the Pastors in the
Chicago district to Bethel whom the
officers may. ask for; provided such
change would not be detrimental to
the church or the position the preacher
was then serving. The officers favored
the appointment of Rev. w. D. Cook,
then Presiding Elder. The choice met
the approval of the Bishop and he
made the appointment. Rev. w. D.
Cook received his appointment from
the Bishop March 21st and assumed
charge Immediately. Rev. Cook is one
among the ablest preachers in the con-
nection. During his forty-two years
of service he has served successfully
some of the Target churches among our
people in the United States.
His reputation as a forcible pulpit
orator and spiritual leader has never
been questioned by preachers or lay
men. Steady progress and success have
marked the labor of this efficient min
lister in all the churches he has served.
His first communion service held in
Bethel, April 9th, 656 persons partook
of the holy communion. This number
is a record breaker of communicates
served at the same time in any A. NJ.
E. Church in the northwest. The
strongest evidence showing the loyalty
of the members and the people of
Bethel who worship therein to Rev.
Cook is given in the financial state
ment of the week of April 10th; mem
bership dues paid for the week $211.6o;
public collection, Sunday, April 9th,
$111.66; from other collections, same
day, 1875; total, $36O.61. Rev. Cook
is therefore credited with the highest
record of communicates at the Lord g
table and money paid without any

SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF REV. w.
D. COOK, ID, PASTOR OF
BETHEL A. M. e. CHURCH, CHI
CAGo, ILLINOIS.

The Rev. w. d. Cook, D. d. was born
of slave parents in Warrenton, N. c.
At the early age of IL years he was
converted in the A. M. E. Church of
his native town, and the following year
was admitted to the North Conference
and has spent thirty-eight consecutive
years in the ministry of the A. M. E.
Church, having served from the
humblest mission and circuit to the
leading charges that carry with them
grave responsibilities and has given
to each a successful administration.
He was educated in the public
schools, attended Shaw University,
Raleigh, N. c., and graduated from
the Theological Department of Har-
ward University in 1888.
DR.. Cook has served the following
appointments: fayetteville, N. c.;
Durham, N. c.; Winston, N. c.; Nor
folk, Va; Wilmington, Delaware;
Mother Bethel, Phila.; Frankfort, Pa;
Brooklyn, n. Y; New York City; At
lantic City; st. Louis, Mo-; Quinn
Chapel, Chicago, and is now serving
Bethel Church, Chicago.
He built the large eommodious
church at Norfolk, Va, and burned the
mortgage of long standing of Bridge
st. Church, Brooklyn, and has done
some of the hardest work of his great
connection.
He succeeded the Rev. T. A. Smythe
(deeeased) at Bethel and is carrying
the work forward to unprecedented sue
cess. The immense church is crowded
at every service and it is necessary to
hold an overflow service on Sunday
mornings.
DR.. Cook is greatly beloved and re-
spected by the people of Chicago in
general, and particularly by the mem
beers of his present charge. He is a
forceful, eloquent speaker, combines
large executive ability with broad
business experience, and is making
Bethel a strong factor in the religious
life of the community.

THE MEASURE OF MEN.

When a vacancy occurs in a great
concern or industry the employer casts
about him for a man big enough to fill
it. When he finds his man he begins to
examine his credentials, inquire about
his standing among men, study his life,
his experience, character and reputa-
ton. In the last analysis he goes to
the man Is record, but he wants also to
know what men think of him. Has he
any friendsf Does he keep themf
So, in the selection of candidate for
Governor it is well for the republican
voters to devote a little time in the
closing days of the campaign to the
consideration of their candidate. One
stands out prominently. In stating this,
The State Journal gives it on excellent
authority.
Frank o. Lowden-as a man, friend
and candidate-has the approval of
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, Justice
James II. Cartwright, former Governor
Joseph W. Fifer, Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus,
the eloquent Chicago divine, Rev. F. o.
Sheets, superintendent of the Aurora
district of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and the Rev. Johnston Myers,
one of the greatest home missionaries
Chicago has ever produced. Without
exception they speak of him after an
acquaintance extending over twenty
years. If all of them did not believe
him to be honest and square nothing
could induce them to indorse him.
They are good citizens themselves and
they have high ideals to which they be-
lieve Colonel Lowden measures. Then
there are B. F. Harris, of Champaign,
former president of the Illinois Bank
ers' Association, and John v. Farwell,
of Chicago, great merchant and worker
in the cause of the Young Mems
Christian Association, in which he has
a worldwide reputation. 1t would be
difficult to find two men with greater
interest in young men than these.
They believe Colonel Lowden worthy
the support of all men. Is it likely they
would tell their friends Lowden will
make a great Governor if they did not
believe iti They know men, they love
Illinois, believe in its future and want
to do something constructive to make
the future of the state brighter.
All of these men believe Colonel Low
den measures up to the high standard
they have set for Governor. From his
rich experience of twenty years on the
Illinois supreme bench and two decades
as a neighbor of Lowden in Ogle coun-
ty, Justice Cartwright declares him to
be "the ideal standard bearer of the
Republican party"
Is the unqualified approval of men
like these, Mr.. Voter, sufficient to con-
vince you Of the fitness Of Frank O..
Lowden for Governorf If it is not,
then you are hard to please. The State
Journal believes the people Of Illinois
will give Colonel Lowden an overwhelm-
ing Endorsement at the primary, Wednes-
day, September Is.

How High Finance Sees Present Day
Craze.

New York, N. Y.-John II. Davis
and Company, Bankers, 10 Wall Street,
New York, in their financial circular
issued regularly discuss the present day
tendency to regulate by law nearly
every liberty of the individual. These
bankers say:
cit never has been our practice to
discuss in these circulars subjects not
generally recognized as having direct
bearing upon the financial and industri-
al situation. At this time, however,
we find good reason to depart from this
rule for the purpose of pointing out
the dangerous and evil possibilities of
the present craze that is disturbing
economic and political conditions in so
many parts of the country.
"There is a great mass of available
testimony that goes to show that in
most American communities where Pro-
hibition ha sheen put in force, its chief
efforts have been to drive liquor from
the open to cover, to make law-break-
ers of the people and to displace the
milder harmless beverages with spirits
less bulky but more powerful and de-
structive to morals and health. There
are prohibition localities in amazing
number where the quantity of. alcoholic
liquors imported is proportionately far
in excess Of the consumption in places
where the traffic is quite free.
cit is in these States that Prohibition
is supposed to be most necessary, by

OFFICE RECORDS CITED.
A. F. Franks Says Other Treasurers
Turned More Interest Into State.

A. F. Franks, a fellow townsman OF
Andrew Russell of Jacksonville, pro-
jected himself last night into the G..
o. P. fray for state auditor. He
accused Mr.. Russell of putting his wife
and son on the state pay rolls during
his first term as state treasurer. He
followed this up with a charge that
in his present campaign for state au-
ditor, Mr.. Russell has adopted the
"rabbit shepherds squad plan that
was worked during the regime of Rich
ard Yates, and has corps of state en-
ployes touring the commonwealth,
lacking up Russell campaign litho-
graphs and distributing campaign
Establishments and arguments.
SENDS OUT STATEMENT.
Mr.. Franks attack came in the
form of a statement sent to several
candidates for state Office and to the
Offices of Chicago newspapers. Mr..
Franks, who is in the cigar business
at Jacksonville, prefaees his charges
with a remark that he has been stirred
by a recent campaign item setting
forth that Mr.. Russell has turned in
more interest money than any of his
predecessors as state treasurer.
"Here is a statement procured from
the records of the state and part of
it from personal observation and part
from reliable information, writes
Franks. "This is the amount of in

IMMENSE DEPOSIT
OF MAGNES|TE FOUND
SITUATED IN CLARK COUNTY IN
The VALLEY OF THE MUDDY
RIVER

massive deposit of magnesite of
unusual character that has recently
Deen brought to the attention OF the
United States geological survey pro
misses to yield a large and readily
available supply of this material. The
deposit lies in Clark county. New. in
the valley of Muddy river. one of the
tributaries of Virgin river a few
miles above the town of st. Thomas.
The material has been known for some
time as kaolin, and successful expert
ments for utilizing it as a proclaim
clay are reported to have been made
though they have not vet resulted in
the exploitation of the deposit. The
recognized outcrops have been located
as mining claims, and some prelim.
mary exploration and development
work has been done. A side track on
the st. Thomas branch of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Rail
road, about 3 miles northeast of the
northernmost group of claims, offers
a readily available railroad connec.
ton. and the station has been named
Kaolin, from this deposit.
The so-called kaolin is stated by the
geological survey to be in fact mag
nestle, and was deposited in a highly
magnetism sedimentary bed, part of
a regularly stratifed series of sedi-
mentary strata exposed by stream
channels that cut across low ridge
at the upper edge of Muddy valley
The deposit forms chalky looking
bluff, dazzlingly white in the bright
sunlight. The material is porcelain
white. fine grained, and massive, is
remarkably free from foreign mater
ial, and has the structureless appear.
ance and conchoidal fracture that is
generally characteristic of magnesite.
