Former Alexandria Pastor in Charge
of Church at cambridge, N. =.

The Brainbridge, N. W Republic
can. has the following to say concern
inc Rev. John cavnaugh, formerly
pastor Of the Free Methodist church,
in Alexandria:
! eThe present pastor OF TIE free
| Methodist church Of cambridge is a
man of great interest. Born in
Lynchburg, Va, he spent his early
life in Richmond. He entered the con-
| fcderate army during the war and
| was burler in stuarts cavalry, took
an active part in the seven days bat
tie at Cold Harbor, July 10 to q re-
spectively, where the battle front was
20 miles in length from james river
to Richmond. 1t is most interesting
to listen to Mr.. Cavnaugh's reminis-
ccnccs, how among other things the
mail was passed to the "boys in
bluen down that 20 mile breastwork
I from hand to hand uttil the letter
found it's owner. During the engage
ment near Dutch Gap he was captur-
ed at HowIat House on the James
River and carried Il prisoner to
Mart's Island where he was detain-
ed until the close Of the war. The
account of the sufferngs and priva-
tons Of the boys in blue and in gray
during those days are inspiring in it's
patriotic fervor which grows with
privations and super human sacri-
fees instead of diminishing as Mr..
Wilson would have US suppose.
"Mr. Cavnaugh has preached all
through the south and has been a;
resident of Washington, D. c., for
20 years, having seen all the Presi-
dents from Grant down to the pres
ent day. Being by vocation a
painter he has painted the houses of
President Grant and Garfield and
General Sherman. The great JciTcr.
son Davis WIS Il personal friend CT
Mr.. Cavnaugh, and it is most inter
csting to hear Of this historical figure
from the lips of one "ho knew him. |
"Thc most wonderful events in his
life Mr.. Cavnaugh claims were the |
days of the anniversary of Gcttys-
burg, three years ago: Here Mr.. Cav
naugh preached three days RAINING
from morn until evening. The white
city of $4,000 tents each housing eight

ing from 50 to one hundred end ten
years, was an event that Mr.. Cav
naugh says surpassed anything in
che experiences Of his 7hrc.
"Thc Free Methodist Society sprang
from the Methodist church in 1860,
and was organized in cambridge in
1868, the family of Edmund Pettys |
being among its charter members.
For the last Is years there has been
no regular meetings held in the lit
tie church on Front street and the
supporters have grown fewer and

fAvoRs THE GAS COMPANY
Federal Judge Campbell of Oklahoma
Decides Against Cities of State In
Kansas Natural Case.

Federal Judge Ralph Campbell of
Muskogee, Ok, sitting at Kansas City,
kas-, made orders recently granting
the Kansas state court receivers of
the Kansas Natural Gas Company
everything they wanted during the
tendency of their suit to obtain higher
rates.
A temporary injunction was allowed
prohibiting any of the cities from pro-
ceed1ng against the order of the pub
lie utilities commission of December
10 granting an increase in gas rates
to twenty-eight cents. The order also
nullified and action that other courts
may have taken in regard to the gas
increase This invalidates injunctions
already granted by state courts pro-
hibiting the enforcement of the utili-
ties commissions order. In this way
the gas receivers collect under the
commissions order granting an in
crease to twenty-eight cents, while ap-
pealing from that very order in order
to get a higher rate.
A bond of $4,000 was required from
the gas receivers as surety for the de-
PENDANT cities in case the federal court
action finally ends in the cities favor.
This court order abolishes free dis
tribution of gas to the public buildings
and schools in many of the Kansas
cities. This free supply of gas was
franchise provision, talan instead of
money payment for t.1e use of the
cities streets and al'oys. All these
franchises were made with local dis
tributing companies. tributaries of the
Kansas Natural Gas Company. The
distributing companies are nominally
defendants in the present suit, they
also being restrained from enforcing
any other courts order multiplying the
utilities commissions increase. But
none of these distributing companies
is fighting this increase. They had at
torneys at the hearing, who took no
part in the argument, but made many
suggestions to the counsel for the gas
receivers.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try ThisI Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded. brittle and
scraggy. just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.
