And Wonderful Sermons

Fervor and Enthusiasm.-
All Denominations Actively
Engaged In Revival Effort.

Evangelist Burke Culpepper said
when he first arrived in the CITY
"either get larger building or a
smaller preacher" A large tent was
secured which has a seating capacity
OF several thousand and it has been
crowded to full capacity every night.
Evangelist Culpepper is a great
preacher-fearless, bold, capable and
sincere. He plays no favorites-is
uncompromising in his attack on sin
regardless Of whom it hits.
Wonderful results have been at
tanned up to date and still greater
results are bound to result as the
meetings continue. Announcements
have been made up to Tuesday night,

scuTTLING THE TAX FUND

An item dated from Monmouth,
Illinois, and printed in the Peoria
Journal during May last, says:
According to the annual appropria-
tion ordinance passed by the Mon
mouth city council the city will have
approximately $4,000 less money
this year than it had last year for
corporate purposes. The reason
given for the shortage of funds this
year Is that assessors cut the value
of real property go per cent in maxi
ing the assessment Converting Of
personal property into nbn-taxable
securities was also given as a reason
for the shortage of tax money"
In the not distant future, people
will learn that It is financial suicide
to permit the income from state and
municipal bonds to go tax free. A
mericans cannot afford to wait in
costing taxpayers and consumers over
million dollars a day. Taxing the
income from state and municipal
bonds will tend to discourage local
extravagance, equalize tax burdens
and increase national and state rev.
enue.

FOUR PRIESTS
SHOT AS BULLETS
RIDDLE HOME
Three Youths Arrested by
Deputies-Ejection of Dis
turbers at Church Social Pre-
ceded Midnight Attack on
Home of Catholic Prelates.

Pocahontas, Ark, June 19-
What came near being very seri-
Gus shooting affray took place last
night at Englesberg Church, five
miles north of Pocahontas, in which
five men were more or less injured
when the home of the Rev. Father
Herringer, priest of the Engleberg
Catholic Church, was attacked by
supposed party of youths from the
outside, and shot out the windows
and fairly riddled the house with
shot.
The men injured were four priests,
namely:
Father Straussner of Jonesboro,
who was shot in the neck and shoul-
der.
Father Heflinger of Paragould,
shot in heck.
Father Herringer of Engleberg,
struck by stray shot.
Father Froitzheim of Pocahontas,
who received one shot in the leg.
Official Layman Shot in Back.
Joe Drummer, one of the official lay
men Of the Church, was the most
seriously injured He received 10 shot
in the back and is considered seri-
ously injured.
The injured men were gathered
around table in the room of the
Rev. Father Herringer where they
were busy checking up some official
reports.
The events leading up to the shoot
ing began early : in the evening A
church conference had been held dur
ing the day which was attended by
the visiting priests and church off,
ciale. This was followed by an ice
cream supper or social in the evening
to which the public was invited.
There were several young men of the
neighborhood in attendance at. the
hall where the social was being given
and it is said that they were drink
ing and behaving in a very. unbe-
coming manner.
Deputy Sheriff W. p. Mcdaniel was
present and attempted to quell the
disturbance whereupon 1t is said the
men became enraged and one Of them
struck the deputy in the face with a
piece of ice cutting quite cash in
his cheek. This was followed by a
general row. Finally they left the
hous eand after they had gotten on
the outside they proceeded to empty
their revolvers.
Firing Resumed At Midnight.
No one was hurt at this time but
after the meeting was over and the
priests and officers and deputy
sheriff has gone to the home of the
Rev. Father Herringer at about the
midnight hour and were checking up
the church reports the shooting from
the outside took place as above
stated.
The weapons used were said to have
been shotguns containing number six
squirrel shot.
The sheriff's office at Pocahontas
was notified and Deputy w. H. Per-
rim and r. e. Riggh went out and ar
rested three youths of that communi-
ty, Burton Knots, 20, Henry Daniels,
10. and younger brother of Henry
Daniels. and brought them in town.
Knots and the elder Daniels boy
were placed in Jail.
The latter was released under a
$500 bond.
They will all have preliminary
hearing before Justice J. w. Ulmer
of Columbia township Saturday. Joe

injured was taken to Jonesboro

it was stated through the papers last
winter that it would not increase the
price of bread. So if it does not in

a way to pay this $500, 000, 900 a year

This would bring in about 90,000,000

the extra income tax from the far

should organize and cut down the

certainly would be possible for the
government to devise means whereby

cording to the monthly report OF the

district No. 3 of Bonner county sold
5000 worth of bonds to the state.

siderably more business in the pur-
chase Of bonds since the state board
of land commissioners, which has
jurisdiction over funds SO invested,
decreased the rate of interest bonds

per cent. Formerly, the state could
not purchase bonds which did not
draw at least 5a per CEN interest.
