The case is a. most pitiful one. Less

When the party had reached Kan

was learned that the 17-year- old
sister, who had been left in Houston,
Texas, where she was employed in a
telegraph office, had been drowned in
the gulf storm.

Father and son. broken hearted and
feeble, made their way to Cedar

to Clinton. Reaching here last Fri
day they applied to the police for aid

hospital where he was cared for until
he died. The son was boarded at the
Clifton hotel, at the expense Of Gin

He can not communicate with his
uncle in Indiana to any advantage for
he is poor man and unable to send
any funds. He can not return to Texas
for he has nothing to do nor any place
to go. He has not decided what to dc

Baptist Mems Reunion
As interesting Affair

February %, 1876 will long be
remembered by the men of the local
Baptist church and congregation. An
unusual and pleasing coincident was
the fact that exactly enough places
Were set to accommodate every one,
with no yacant chairs. The supper
was a bountiful affair with chicken
pie and all the rest with brown
bread and cherry pie served on hand
somely decorated tables. At each
place stood a little silk flag set IN
sealing wax on a card and besides a
| Washington silhouette mounted in
red, white and blue shields. The
rest of the table decorations were
carried out in red and white carna.
tions and cherry designs. The room
was profusely decorated with flags
and bunting and at one side was a
Washington shadow picture brought
out by a secreted electric light.
H. C. Wood, teacher of the mems
Sunday School class, acted as toast
master, and conducted his part of the
program in an informal but very
pleasing manner. A number of men
Responded TO their names for i'm
promptu speeches, among them being
L. G.. Goodell, E. A. Lamont, w. r.
Bauer, L. j. Ross. E. f. Dubes, H. M.
Rogers, q. E. Evans, C. w. Chance
and Rev. Fred e. Stockton. A male
tquartet composed of Robt. Morris, c.
w. Chance, Geo. Fowler and j.. l..
Pratt, rendered selections.
The surprise of the evening was
the presence of DR.. S. P. Shaw, of
Sioux Falls, who is at the head of
the Baptist mission work in South
Dakota. Doctor Shaw was the prin.
cipal speaker of the evening, and
made a very interesting address in
terspersed with pleasing stories. His
subject was the Baptist five-year pro.
gram. He called attention to the
facts that the Baptist is the largest
Protestant denomination in the Unit.
Led States, that one person in seven
teen, and one Protestant in four in
this country is a Baptist. He also
said that more people have Joined the
Baptist churches in this country in
the past twenty years than make up
the total membership of any other
Protestant denomination in this coun-
try except the Methodist. He also
spoke of the possibilities Of realizing
the standard set in the fve-year pro
gram, He paid a fine tribute to the
new movement of men today In all
churches and was optimistic as to
the progress of the church today. He
said, There are more men in the
churches today who are willing to
give themselves, their time, talents
and money for the work Of the church
than ever before in all history" DR..
Shaw will be a welcome speaker at
future events and Baptist gatherings
in this city.
