AN ANSWER.

I consider it below the dignity of a man, much less a minister, to stoop to carrying on a newspaper qrgument, but ‘inasmuch as I am leaving the charge, I shall answer the article of last week concerning the closing of North Star church. The pastor did not close the church. The district superintendent left the affair in my hands. On July 30, I asked the members and official members to remain after ’the service, when-the question -was put squarely to them, “What shall we do with the church?” After quite a discussion, a motion was made by a trustee and steward, seconded by a trustee and steward, that the church be closed until the beginning of the conference year. It was carried by a vote of B"tcrT. From this it is easily seen that the pastor did not act alone.—(liev.) H. J. HOOVBR.

Wife of Lowell Editor Writes Book.

Lowell Tribune. It will come as a surprise to many of our people to know that Lowell has an authoress, but such is the fact. Mrs. L. W. Ragon has written a book entitled “Red- Cloud,” an Indian story, and the manuscript is now in the hands of the publishers. Before submitting it to the publishers the manuscript was in the hands of critics in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. Their reports warranted her submitting the manuscript for publication to a publishing house in Baltimore, Md. Their offer was very flattering in ’ the way of royalties and after due considera-

tion she accepted it. The publishers expect to have the book ready for the market in the early winter. It will retail for one dollar. Mrs. Ragon feels justly proud of her achievement and feels that she has been greatly honored for one just entering the literary field and Mrs. Ragon is enjoying ,the congratulations of her friends.

Mr. Waymire was driving north at the time of the accident and was about forty rods this side of the college cemetery when a car that had been made over into a racer, and driven by a tourist, crashed into the Waymire car from behind when attempting to pass. The tourist driver was entirely at fault. The Waymire car had a spring broken, the radiator smashed in and the steering gear also suffered severe damage. The tourist car suffered more damage than the Waymire car, one w r heel being broken, the ladiator smashed and damaged considerably in other ways. Neither of the drivers were injured, but a girl riding in the foreign car was thrown out and sustained slight injuries. The stranger refused to pay for the damages to the Waymire car and was arrested and taken before Squire Dean this , morning, where he gave the name of John Doe. He was fined 31 and costs, amounting to $8.65 in all. It is understood that he has decided to settle for the damage to the Waymire car.

Every morning he takes a load of milk to the train from his farm near Parr, and during the twenty years he has been hauling milk to the train, he has only missed the train four times, and on those occasions he was sick. On one occasion his harness broke just as he was pulling in and while he was a short distance away.

The trainmen all know Steve and would greatly miss him should he quit hauling milk.

HUGHES STIRS BUCKEYE VOTERS

Speaks to 25,000 Voters and Gave His Campaign a Great Shove Forward In Ohio.

Charles E. Hughes gave his campaign a great shove forward when he spoke in Ohio Monday before 25,000 persons, reviewed a republican parade of 10,000 marchers, shook hands with all comers, and infused the state leaders *with something of his own energy and confidence. When Senator Warren G. Harding, Frank B. Willis and Myron T. Herrick shook hands with ilr. Hughes they pledgdd the state to him by a plurality of 100,000, guaranteeing that Ohio is on the way to roll up an old time McKinley and Roosevelt republican vote. Mr. Hughes made four speeches in Dayton, addressing 25,000 during the day. Dayton is a democratic stronghold, but there was no mistaking the sincerity of the welcome or the ring of enthusiasm with which the city received Mr. Hughes. A very old woman managed to squirm forward through the press on one of the occasions when the parade came to a full stop. “I wan’t you to be president,” she said, “bee: use you are for the plain people.” “Madam,” said the. nominee, “that is one big reason why I want to be president, that is why I am back in politics.”
