SUCCESSFUL REvIyAL-IN-A-DAY

Three years ago, soon after becom-
ing pastor of the Butler Christian
church, Rev. r. M. Talbert suggested
to the official board and the congre-
cation that, in lieu of revival last
ing several weeks, they concentrate all
their efforts on one day and call it the
"Revival-in-a-Day" plan. The idea
appealed to all and the first effort was
such success that it has been follow
ed each year since. The first year
there were AZ additions to the church,
the second year there were AZ, and on
Sunday, january IA, the total reached
was 81, which with others made 240
additions since Rev. Talbert became
pastor here.
Large congregations were present
at both the morning and evening SER
vices. The program included some
special musical numbers, followed by
sermons appropriate to the occasion
by the pastor. At the morning service,
when the invitation was given, SO per-
sons chose the "better way" and at
night IA came forward and pledged
themselvesN as Christians. 1t was a
great day for the pastor, the congre-
cation and visitors.-Butler Daily

STATE CAPITOL NEARLY DONE

Missouri's magnificent capitol, ac-
carding to estimates made by r. W.
Stephens, chairman of the building
commission, is SO per cent complete.
Two dominant facts stand out IN
relief in connection with its con-
struction. One is that the work will
be completed within. the amount voted
by the people. The other is that not
breath Of scandal has marred the
enterprise.
The work has been done in record
breaking time. The cornor stone was
laid June "a, 1915. Eighteen months

ready for occupancy" said Mr.. Steph-
ems. "The second floor will be fin
ished by February l, the Legislative

The plan now in mind by the mem
bers of the building commission is to

Governor Gardner will have the
choice of using the temporarily fitted
up suite in the new building or he can
use the present quarters of the exec
utive Office in the temporary State
house.

OPPOSE NEW STRIKE BILL

Chicago, H., Jan. 12.-Delegates
from the four big railway brother
hoods in the concluding sessions Of
their conference today discussed va
rious phases of the railway employ
ment situation. No formal action was
taken, it being decided that nothing
should be done until after the United
States Supreme Court has ruled upon
the Adamson law.
Among the subjects discussed were
methods to combat the passage of a
compulsory investigation of rail dis
putes, as outlined in the Adamson
act.
1.-THE railway employees never will
countenance any compulsory invests
cation which compels the men to re-
main at work while the other fellow
prepares for strike" said w. G.
Lee, the head Of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen.
The sessions were confined to IN
formal discussions in view of the de-
cision to take no definite action until
after the railroad act had been adj
Indicated by the Supreme Court.

COTTON sUPpLANTs MELONS

Charleston, Mo-, Jan. I2.-Farmers
of Mississippi and Scott counties are
preparing to plant more than 1000
acres fcotton this year which, last
season were planted in water melons.
The same land has successfully grown
cotton before and was utilized for that
purpose until the water melon crop
began to produce such enormous pro-
fits with a minimum expense.
However, the ravages of the disease
among the melon vines Of the two
counties the past two years, which
has puzzled water melon experts and
caused the loss of thousands of dol
lars to farmers, have called for ro-
tation of crops in the hope that the di-
sease may be stamped out

DEATH OF ADMIRAL DEWEY

Admiral George Dewey, the hero Of
died at his home in Wash
ngton, D. c., on January 16. Presi
len Wilson addressed the following
to Congress in notifying
hat body of the death of this nota
Die naval officer:
at is with deepest regret that
/ announce to the Congress the
death of Admiral George Dewey
at 5:56 o'clock on the afternoon
of yesterday, the 10th of Janu-
airy, at his residence in this city.
admiral Dewey entered the
naval service of the country as an
acting midshipman from the First
Congressional District of YER
mont on September %, 1854; was
graduated from the Naval Aca-
denny as midshipman June II,
1858; served with distinction
throughout the war of 1861-1865;
and thirty years later had risen to
the rank of Commodore.
at was as Commodore that he
rendered his service in the action
at Manila Bay, which has given
him a place forever memorable
in the naval annals of the coun-
try. At the time of his death
he held the exceptional rank of
Admiral of the Navy by special
act of Congress. During the later
years of his life he was the honor
ed President of the General Board
Of the Navy, to whose duties he
gave the most assiduous atten-
ton and to which office he rem,
dered service to the navy quite
invaluable in its sincerity and
quality of practical sagacity.
at is pleasant to recall what
qualities gave him his well-de-
served fame; his practical direct
ness, his courage without self-con-
scioasness; his efficient capacity
in matters of administration, the
readiness to fight without ask
ing any questions or hesitating
about any details. 1t was by
such qualities that he continued
and added lustre to the best ira
ditions of our navy. He had the
stuff in him which all true men
admire and upon which all states
men must depend in hour of peril.
"The people and the Govern
ment of the United States will al
ways rejoice to perpetuate his
name in all honor and affection"
The Senate and House on Wedne!
day afternoon adjourned out of N
spect to Admiral Dewey, after adop
ing resolutions authorizing a joiI
