More than $4,000 was turned IN IN

The campaign was formally opened
Wednesday night, when rally meet

which Bishop U. V. w. Darlington,

Bishop Darlington Visits Banaberg;;
Educational Fund Ouer Subscribed

900, and more than $4,000 was
raised the first day.
IF there ever was time when
we had something to talk about y
said the bishop, lit is now. We must
do this thing to save our children,
our church and our state.' He re-
lated the sad fate of Germany, how
the German leaders had strayed ava
from God, and stated that many of
our people had secured their educa-
tion in Germany and had brought
back with them German heresies.
"What happened to Germany can
happen to America" he warned the
audience.
The present depression, he said,
was no cause for pessimism, and he
asked the people to have faith in
Gods promises, and all will be we'll.
AS matter of fact, said he, condi-
tions are rapidly improving, and he
told of recent visit to the coal fields,
where eight or ten trains Of 80 to 90
cars each were loaded with coal ready
for shipment, and that the output
was fast getting back to normal.
'sThere is all the difference in the
world between education and Chris
tian education," said he, and he
pleaded for an education that would
lend Christian influences, and prayed
for a deliverance from such condi-
tions as prevail in Russia, where gov
ernment signs are posted, "There is
no God; man has no SOUL" Chris
tian education must so influence our
people that such condition will be
impossible in our land. Our country
now has less regard for law than ever
before, and nothing but the power OF
God can save us. The Baptists, Pres
byterians, Episcopalians and others
have realized the conditions facing
US, and have gone to work to remedy
them. Now the Methodists have their
turn, and they must not fail.

Sheriff Tells Graphic Story.

Frank Ducra, sheriff of Messa county

one of the few survivors of 200 pas

train pulled up to the bridge over the
Arkansas river, leading into the union

the next track was Missouri Pacific

time when he heard the roar of wa
ters and the food Tapped at the coach
steps and began rising rapidly. 1t
was soon rushing through the car.
Some Of us went up and down the cars
quieting the passengers, many of
whom were screaming and moaning
and praying.
"a young girl was sitting in her
seat crying. I stopped to reassure and
comfort her. She said she was from
Chicago, and sobbingly called out
daddy, daddy" I told her we would
look after her and cheered her-but,
we'll, I saw her swept away as the
water rushed into the coaches and
carried us out through windows and

her>time to go, she was prepared and
kept on smiling. I reckon she died
in her seat. I saw young man sit

er, consoling her. She was praying.
'In the water We clung to the
coaches of the train which were
swaying back and forth with the
waves and striking the coaches of the
Missouri Pacific train.
"Screams and cries of anguish rose.
I saw some people 60 to their deaths
crushed between the two trains. A
great pile of lumber came rushing
down upon US, sweeping over US,
striking some of those clutching
there with precarious hold on the
cars. They were torn loose and went

break his way through the top Of a
coach only to be washed down the
flood.
"On either side Of us, houses and
barns and other buildings were swirl
ing down. Many people were cling
ing to them. I saw two women on the
top of a house. The structure struck
the bridge and crumbled like an egg
shell. 1 saw their white hands mo-
ment on the water.
"Morning came. The waters had
been receding. Those Of us who were
left-about 60-were able to reach
the ground and walk around in Wa

Some of the unconscious women
and children were left in the dark. 1t

It was awful.

WORLD ALMOST LOST GENIUS
Handel, immortal Composer, Had Re
mark2bie Escape From Death Ia
Duel in Early Life.

1he great composer Handel was
ootN at Halle, February "a, 1884, and
at the outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson, an
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but score buttOned under Handel's
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimable
value to the whole world.
In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratorios it had a
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal 1t was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed of 100000, Of which he be-
queathed one-half to the fund for de-
cayed musicians, while the remainder
went to his relatives.-Chicago Jour.

Nevertheless head-hunting is still quite

taking care not to give the alarm.
Extra care was needed once the de-

Britain's Great Sailor.

An admirars sword, which had been
surrendered to Nelson by the Spanish
admiral ON board the San Josef after
the battle of st. Vincent, has Just been
sold for about $25. The sword was
worth much more to Nelson, and to
Great Britain. For this victory of 1897
is of peculiar significance in Britain's
naval history, in that it first revealed
the full capacity of Nelson-already
well known in the navy-to all his
,ountrymen, and led to his appoint
ment as rear admiral. In this action.
when the Spaniards seemed likely to
escape, Nelson, without waiting for or
ders. threw his ship, the Captain.
across their bows, a movement which
led to their complete defeat. Nelson
received the swords of the Spanish of
fcers on the deck of the San Josef and
