run faster, and left sure they wolld

they were hitting sixty to seventy
miles when the accident occurred.

NEARING END
EVANGELIST DELIVERS SEARCH
ING SERMONS EVERY NIGHT
At EDDYVlLLE.

Eddyville, March 29.-(Special Cor
respondence)- delegations will
be in attendance every night this week
at Eddyville's tabernacle, among them
the Woodmen and the Royal Neigh
and also the ladies of the various
churches who will come in body and
occupy reserved seats. Men and wom-
en- are being reached at every service
and the number of conversions in
creases at each invitation. One of
the most commendable phases Of
Evangelist Phelps work is the stress
laid on personal work and it's great
need. He insists on active service on
the part of Christians in the audience.
Many have succeeded in winning their
first soul to Christ and aside from the
splendid number of converts, profess
ing Christians have been stirred as
never before to greater effort and zeal
for Gods work.
Rev. Phelps sermon on "Zaccehus"
deserves special mention and it never
fails to make a deep impression on
audiences everywhere. He empha-
sizes the fact that the gospel invita-
ton is an invitation of come" Hun
dreds of scripture verse have been
written on coming" and others con-
tain the inference to the idea. Fac
cheus would never have seen the mas
ter had he not used his mind and his
hands and feet to climb tree and thus
catch a glimpse Of Jesus as he passed
by. Christ saw him and knew his
need Immediately Zaccheus knew his
own need also and responded to the
words, "Zaccheus, come down." And
he did. Did you ever stop to think
that he was suddenly converted?
He got blessing in hurry. It was
a crisis in his life because Christ never
went that way again. This was the
last opportunity to accept and Fac
cheus would have been lost had he
not accepted. And the minute he was
saved, he made restitution. Many q
"Zaccheus'' has received Evangelist
Phelps invitation to come to Christ,
and responded.

At the end of the inning Fogarty
returned to the bench. The names
that were hurled at him were too
much for his sensitive vaudevillian
soul
"If the ball had landed on your
head it would have stuck you sap

This was too much for Frank. He
broke into tears and refused to take

was the beginning and the end OF
his career as big Lacquer.

OF CHASE .
HAVE ORGANIZED
FOX HUNTERS WILL HAVE SPORT
HERE EVERY FAlL-LARGE
NUMBER JOIN CLUB.

The newest organization in the field
of sports in this vicinity is the fox
hunters club that has been but recent
ly formed The new organization bids
fair to become one of the most popular
sport associations in these parts for
the fox hunt has in recent years be-
come rapidly quite popular here.
Where a few years ago a few per-
sons would go down to the annual
chase to watch the hounds and fox
make lively the territory in the vicin-
ity of Unionville, Bunch and brakes
vile, the last one or two occasions
brought hundreds of people from this
vicinity. Interest in the sport has be-
come more general as the knowledge
of it spread and for the week of the
hunt many persons spend night after
night on the line of pursuit where
large parties find accommodations.
The association having that hunt in
charge has built it up to the point
where it has become big annual
sport event..
To encourage the sport in Wapelic
county the local fox hunters formed a.
club and some fifty we'll known per-
sons have already taken membership
In the club. These include a number
of popular professional men of this
vicinity who are identified with shoot
ing and fishing clubs and are sport
lovers in a general way. The promo
tiers of the pastime here urge as their
object in forming the club, the desire
to encourage more field and outdoor
sports and would educate the public
to the real sport of the fox hunt.
One week each fall probably in Sep

for the, sport and aside from the chase
of the fox by the hounds, it is planned
to have other amusements including
riding contests Provision will be
made to care for good crowd and a
week Of high standard amusement will
be provided. The men chosen as Of
f1cers of the organization are: Perry

president: G.. W. Howk, master of the
hounds; Charles H. Orman, secretary;

TOM JONES TURNS
DOWN BIC OFFER
MANAGER DECLINES TO SEND
WILLARD AGAINST FULTON
AT MILWAUKEE.

New York, March 20. Tom Jones,
manager of Jess Willard, turned down
an offer Of 100000 Tuesday for the
heavy weight boxer. To most folks
$4,000 looks like a lot of money, but
to T. Jones it was trife.
The $4,000 offer was from syndi-
cate in Milwaukee headed by Tom An
drews. First $4,000 was offered to
Willard for ten round bout in Mil
waukee with Fred Fulton. When Jones
turned down the offer the promoters
boosted the price to 100000. They
wanted to stage the bout on April 26.
AS Fred Fulton seems to be the
logical candidate to meet Willard, now
that Frank Moran has been disposed
of, it was believed Willard would jump
ut the chance of meeting the Rochester
giant. Instead, Manager Jones notified
the Milwaukee promoters that such a
bout was out of the question at this
time. Wizards contract with circus
begins on April 20, and Jones will not
take on any engagement which might
jeopardize the $150,000 contract with
the tent show. So Jones wired Tom
Andrews that the bout with Fulton was
off.
Jones was to have gone back to Chi
cago Tuesday, but stayed over to fix
up the final details of the pictures Of
the Willard-Moran bout. He will leave
for Chicago in the morning.
Fulton may be seen in a New York
ring within short time and his first
opponent may be Jim Coffey. While
Frank Morans next bout has not been
decided upon, there Is talk that the
Pittsburgher will be matched with
Jack Dillon before a local club after
Moran returns from his five week va
cation.
The state boxing commission got
some extra money from the Willard
Moran bout. Tex Richard received
nearly $1,000 which did not show in
the ticket count because the tickets
were not presented at the gate and he
paid over TX per cent of this to the
state The commissions official report
Of the bout is now: Attendance 1O,1 40,
total receipts s151,524 states share
