REV. TRAUM NEW CHRISTIAN PASTOR
Madison, Indiana Divine to Come Here to Fill the Vacant Pastorate. CHOICE AN EXCELLENT ONE THE REV. TRAUM IS A YOUNG MAN AND WELL EDUCATED HE WILL TAKE UP DUTIES HERE IN JANUARY. At a meeting of the official board of the Christian church yesterday, it was announced that S. W. Traum of Madison, had accepted the call to the pastorate of the church and would come to Richmond some time before the new year. Owing to the fact that his present year with the church at Madison does not expire until January 1, it is hardly likely that he will come to Richmond before that date. ' Rev. Traum has for the past three years been the pastor of the church at Madison and has done a great work in that city. The church has increased both in membership and influence and it is expected that he will greatly help the church in this city. He is a young man and is well educated. ' Rev. T. H. Kuhn, the former pastor of the church, will fill the pulpit at the church until Rev. Traum comes to this city. Rev. Kuhn spoke at the church yesterday, both morning and evening. IS NO FAIR ELECTION MONEY MUST BE USED 1 Republican Congressman-Elect in Maryland Declares that Candidates in His District Can't Avoid Buying Votes. IPuMlshers Pressl Salisbury,' Md., Nov. 11. Congressman-elect "William H. Jackson, of the First District frankly admits his friends spent money to elect him. He declares it is useless to pretend that elections can be carried on the eastern shore without the use of money. "The voters are out for the boodle," he continued, "and they must get it or they won't vote. If you buy a man, you buy him; it matters not whether you give him whisky or a five-dollar note. No whisky was given any man to cast his ballot for me with-' my knowledge or consent. The Demo crats used whisky as a vote getter. I did not see it myself, but I am told they had jugs' and bottles at many polling places. "The precedent of spending money was not established by me. Years ago the Democrats bought votes.. This spoiled the voters. No. man without money need run for Congress in the First District of Maryland." tJL. vm r

DAVE SHERRICK EXPECTS LIBERTY The Supreme Court of Indiana Will Render Decision in Famous Case Tomorrow. DETAILS ARE LACKING FACT THAT AT LEAST ONE PREJUDICED JUROR SAT ON CASE, IS BASIS FOR ALLEGED REVERSAL. fPublishers' Press Indianapolis, November 11. That the Supreme Court of Indiana will on Tuesday render a decision which will release David E. Sherrick from the penitentiary, is the report which came, to Indianapolis last night from Michigan City and from Noblesville, which was formerly the home of Sherrick. The story is to the effect that on Tuesday the Supreme Court will render its decision on the appealed Sheri rick case, and that this decision will grant him a new trial, pending which Sherrick would be released on bond. The upper court has had the case under consideration for six months and attorneys have understood that this decision would be among those to be handed down on Tuesday. The source of the repor indicating that decision will be favorable to Sherrick can not be learned definitely. At both Michigan City and Noblesville the report was common talk last night. Sherrick was sent to the penitentiary Ap'l 3, 1906, to serve from two to twenty-one years, having been convicted in the Criminal Court of Marion County of embezzling State funds while auditor of state. He resigned his office as state auditor on the demand of Governor Hanly when his shortage was discovered. An appeal to the Supreme Court was made for a new trial on the ground that one of the members of the jury which convicted him had openly declared before the trial that Sherrick ought to be in the penitentiary. It is supposed that the Su preme Court's ruling is to be made on this basis. MEXICAN CENTRAL SOLD Reported in Texas That the Rock Island Has Acquired It Will Extend It. EI Paso, Texas, Nov. 11.

BIG CONGREGATION AT FINAL SERVICE
Dr. Elliott Spoke to Two Thousand at East Main Street Friends Church. TALKED ON AMUSEMENTS GREAT EVANGELIST TOOK LIBERAL VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY'S ATTITUDE TOWARD PEOPLE'S RECREATIONS - By far the largest religious gathering ever held in the city, was that yesterday afternoon at the East Main street Friends' church, where more than two thousand people, both men and women rep.".iy ra3 all the Pixtestant churches in town, were present to hear Dr. John Klliott deliver his last sermon ia this city, his subject being "The Christian Attitude Toward Amusements." The meeting marks and epoch in the religious life of the people in Richmond, for by it was shown that the churches of the city were beginning to throw off the usual cloak of aloftness toward one another which has been noticed in tho past and were united to the one end, that of doing some good in the world. Dr. Elliott took for his text, Mark 8:34, "If any man ' would com after Me let him take up his cross and follow me." The sermon was far from rrhat many people who attended, thought it would be, and those who thought that Dr. Elliott would single out things, that should, and should not be done, were disappointed for tho eminent evangelist aimed above this, and did not sacrifice his dignity by Demeaning any certain amusement!, that are Indulged In at the ppresent time by the American ieople. At no time did he single out any one or all amusements and say that that is wrong jr that is rrht but the people partlcintiug in all, should and necessarily, have to decide what was wrong and what was right according to the dictations of their conscience. He stated that no amusement that encouraged a strong and healthful body should be d'scouraged unless it encroached upon the rights of others. Ho stated that people who had accepted the . teachings --.f Je.su Christ. nil their indulgenses in amusements, by the text and should cnM 01: :.U those trnt. i directly or jln;rwiKc inteifeie; with 1 their living the christian life, that Jesus had laid down for them. Teachings of Jesus Govern. He had c3nr.jtl cniphaFls upon tho fact that all amusements should b governed by the teachings of Jesus and if any nh) i.l encroach upon thse words, they were the amusements that should be cast aside for tilings that were betterand more uplifting. Dr. Eliott left yesterday afternoon for Rochester, X. Y., where he wjll begin the work in the great city wido evangelistic meetings which start in that city today, and which will continue for several weeks. Tbo ministers of the city are loud in their praise of the work of Dr. Elliott, as they say, that never beforo in the history of the churches in this city, has the people become ko enthused, and awakened to their spiri tual wants, as they are at the present time.. All of this, they lay at the door of Dr. Elliott, as his sermong have been a great inspiration to all thos that have heard him. Unlike most ministers, he dealt with subjects from the common sense ioint of view. Hfs sermons were never radical, and he was always ready to argue from the other man's point of view, on any question. The many non-church going members of the city have lw?n revived, and are taking a great interest in the work such as they never have before.
