Bells of ' Every ChurctVin the City Will ; Ring Out Tonight. , 4 .. .- Today marks, the opening of an en larged campaign by the leaders in the union evangelistic effort now. In pro gress at the East Main Street Friends' church. ' This afternoon a series' of Bible studies were begun in the' Sun day school room of the Reid Memorial church to continue throughout the week' and probably" next .week. The studies begin at 3: 30 o'clock and an in vitaUon is extended to the general public Those who attend should bring their Bibles. The theme of the Bible study for the first three daysTuesday, Wednesday and Thursdaywill be "My Life Plan Compared With The Ofe Plan'of "Jesus." " This "evening at 7 o'clock and each evening hereafter while the - union meetings are In progress It Is the plan to ring the bells on all the churches that are participating, thereby calling attention to the union meetings at East Main Street. Another Innovation that is be ing planned 'for 'Saturday evening is an open-air meeting down town, pro vided the weather wiU permit of it What the Plan Is. It is hoped to have seventy-five par ticipate In this, one-third of this num ber to be in charge of 'the program that will be given and the others to take cards of 'personal invitation ' to the Sunday services and pass through the crowd distributing them and doing whatever is possible in the way of personal work. . It is believed - that much good can be done by such . a meeUng - and Evangelist Many argues for It .on the ground that most of the gospel was spoken In the open air and because he believes that when the church goes into the. highways and hedges after souls the - kinsdom will undergo, a great growth. -.These act! vlties with the meeting .af. 7: 30 each evening, except Saturday, at East Main street, will make the week one of marked energy in the evangelistic crusade. - The meeting of Monday evening was of . the greatest, interest from the standpoint of its prayer and -testimony service, many taking part In these and especially testifying to the importance of prayer and its effectiveness in keep ing mem in ine wnnauan me. x ms service was in harmony with the talk by. Evangelist Mahy. who plead for a closer communion with God through the agency of prayer. The burden of his address was the necessity for getting in close touch with the divine. There are too many people, he said, who merely read the Bible as a his tory and who fail to get the real sig nificance of Christ into their lives because they do not make the effort to get Into touch with Him. There are many who know the Bible.. said the evangelist, "but they are deader than door nails because they have none of the spirit, of Christ. They are mere Christian of the head while the Christian who gets his inspiration from Christ has religion of the heart.

By Mistake Oscar Mashmey-

er Is Arrested at Jef fersonville, Ind., by a Suspicious Of ficer. HE THOUGHT DEPUTY WAS A REAL FORGER Mashmeyer Had Just Placed a Man Behind 'the Bars When He Was Pinched Himself in a Drug Store. Oscar Mashmeyer, deputy sheriff of Wayne county and a crook cateber of long experience, yesterday at JeffersonvUle, Ind., for the first time in his life had the .opportunity, of learning how It feels when the big fist of the law drops on one's shoulder and drags one into durance vile. Mashmeyer had just placed William Newman, convicted of the theft of a mule, in the Jeffersonville reformatory and was seated in a drug store awaiting a train to take him back to Richmond when the town . marshal seized him by the shoulder and told him he was wanted at the . police station. Can't come. Waiting for a train." said Mashmeyer. This : remark thoroughly aroused the suspicions of the marshal. -Te can't work none of your durned forgeries in this town and get away with it," said JeffersonviUe's guardian. Mashmeyer showed his badge and official papers, but to no avail. He was taken before the merchant who was the victim of the forgery. Fortunately for Mashmeyer the merchant said he was not-the guilty man, and Mashmeyer was released from bondage with many apologies on the part of the town marshal. , 1 The ; mule William' Newman stole has been a "Jinx" for everyone directly or Indirectly connected with the The animal was pilfered, while New man .was drunk. ; An hour after the theft the mule balked on the traction line tracks, and was knocked through the front gate of a' farm.: Newman was hurled over the fence. Neither were hurt. When, the , farmer who harbored ' the mule demanded $3 of the owner, for feeding and caring for it an argument ensued that ended in a suit for damages being, filed. "To cap the climax Mashmeyer in taking the man who stole the brute to the refor matory was arrested for forgery.

During the night Linden Osborn, an ages resident, was awakened by the bright light In his bedroom window. He discovered the blacksmith shop toJ be on fire and sounded the alarm. Hasty response was made by the citizens, but before the department apparatus could be hauled to the scene the fire had creeped to the adjoining buildings and they too were burning rapidly. The blacksmith shop was in ruins before the department arrived. - The fight, made' by the bucket bri gade was an able one and atmospheri cal conditions favored them. The wind was blowing the blaze awayfrom the buildings, 'these catching on fire as a result of the intense heat. . In the square which was threatened the most; there are several stores, the Py thian temple, a . livery stable and few residences. Several of these buildings were on fire but the blazes were discovered soon enough to put them ont without great' damage. The blacksmith shop was owned by Ad dison Thomas.' ,:. , - -ic'-C v.
