Springfield, superintendent of the
Methodist Episcopal conference. In
the letter Mr.. Culp gave hypocrisy"
in the churches and the handicap
forced upon him by an Ignorant wife,
who could neither read nor write" as
part reasons for his elopment He
said:
1T is sad day for the churches
when they must pay starvation sal
aries to their most valuable servants.
If the money you spend uselessly and
sinfully for indulgences, such as to-
bacco, lodge fines, gold ornaments, and
socials of all kinds and picnics, fine
clothes, and $3.50, such as are for
hidden in the Bible, were spent for
the church it would be much better,
and minister would enjoy working
for the glory Of God
But when you can not obtain
enough money to pay your debts and
pay for a little schooling, it is ap-
palling and useless to try to pass as
the pastor of the church. Many other
ministers who are sticking to their
posts are seeing the same way, but do
not have the courage to quit. May
this be a warning to the churches
and l sincerely hope to see you all,
converts and others, who were help
full in my work, in heaven.
Always Kicked Around
The letter said that Culp had been
reared among strangers and always
kicked around" He said he was
handicapped by marrying an "ignor-
ant woman, unfit to be a pastors
wife," that he did not approve of the
way the churches were run, and
thought it to be best to ''get out"
Closing, he said he was an honest
man and would pay all his creditors
although the conference superintend.
ent said he wrote an 'ungentlemanly'
letter to one creditor who asked for
a small remittance.
The AAmerican Automobile Associa
tion has been appealed to in an effort
to locate him.
Mrs. Culp will return to her former
home in Walkrarusa, Ind, as soon as
she can obtain money, she said. Per.
sons knowing her as the victim OF
the love triangle already have sent
money to aid her Among the nine
children for whom she is trying to
provide are pair of twins six months
old.

two or three payments still due the
Dayton company from which it was
bought on the time payment plan.
A circular bearing a complete de-
scription of the pastor, similar to
those issued for the apprehension Of
a notorious crook or an escaped bank
robber, has been broadcasted through
out the state to aid in the arrest.
The double disappearance has caus-
ed a sensation In addition to tear

brought suffering in the home of Miss
Hughes, whose parents are prominent

thirty-five. That the girl had more
than a natural regard for her pastor
had never been suspected.
Hits at Church Hypocrisy
Before setting out with his new
affinity, Rev. Culp wrote a lengthy
letter to E. M. Barley, treasurer of
the church, explaining why he was
leaving. 1t was received the day af-

public after Mr.. Barley had given a

FROM MOTOR CAR
Thieves Drain N.Gallon Tank Of
Hearse in MOe.ler Garage;
Oil Also Stolen.

Thieves entered the garage in
the rear of 413 Twenty-first street,
sometime between Saturday night
and yesterday afternoon and drain
ed 10 gallons Of gasoline from a
hearse owned by A. ]. D. Moeller.
Four gallons of lubricating oil
were also stolen. The theft was
discovered yesterday afternoon by
Fred Glenn. a driver for Mr.. Noel
Ter. Two wrenches, an empty beer
bottle and an empty ink bottle were
found underneath the car.
Mr. Moeller believes that the
thieves tried to drain the gasoline
tank by unscrewing the pet-cpck
under the tank. They evidently
were unsuccessful in this method
and decided to finish the Job by
siphoning the gas out of the tank.
Empty beer and ink bottles under
the hearse were not explained.

HOSPITAL PLEA
70 Be MADE IN
100 CHURCHES


The joint committee represent
ing Augustana hospital, Chicago.
and Lutheran hospital. Moline, met
yesterday in Chicago to review the
results of the hospital appeal that
has been carried ON throughout the
churches Of the Lutheran Illinois
conference.
DR.. C. E. Hoifsten, Chicago, the
director Of the campaign, reported
that the churches had thus far rails
cd $t6,00O which represented the
reports from only IS Of the 1e5
churches In the conference. In cd
dition to this each hospital report
ed thar scattering pledges had been
received from various sources
amounting to $1,000 for each iusti-
tuition, and that II this was added
to the church subscriptions that the
total results Of the appeal 30 far
amounted to $4,000.
The director in commenting upon
the failure of nearly 100 churches
to carry on the every-member can
vass during the week of Oct. 1899,
said that it can largely be attrib-
uted to the rapid success OF appeals
that have been made to the churches
during the past three years.
Expect S15,000 More
IT. is estimated that the Moline
hospital can expect at least $4,000
in addition to the 5000 that has
already been pledged to the local
institution from the churches out
side of the Rock Island district.
One Of the interesting reports
made at the meeting yesterday was
that the uncertainty OF the econom-
'ic conditions have tended to pre-
vent substantial subscriptions, that
people generally will make a small
donation in cash but refuse to ex-
tend their .promise over a period Of
months. This was particularly no.
ticeable from the reports coming in
from the country churches. These
reports fell way below their quota,
but in almost every instance the
subscriptions were accompanied by
cash.
The committee representing the
Lutheran hospital at the meeting
yesterday were Clark G. Anderson,
J. o. Laugman and l. E. ToneR.
