BISHOP HENDRIX IS
SUED BY MINISTER
The Rev. A. T. Osborn Wants
$25,000 Damage Because of
His Expulsion From St. Louis
M E., South, Conference.
8t. Louu, Mo., Sept. 28—Bishop
Hendrix of the M. E. Church,
South, has been sued for $25,000
damages Dy the Rev. A. T. Osborn,
who was expelled from membership
in the St. Louis conference in ses¬
sion at Caruthersville because of
his alleged departure from liis
charge without the consent of the
bishop.
It is e4id that Bishop Hendrix
m a sermon at the conference, re¬
ferred to Mr. Osburn in a way
which offended the laiter.
Mr. Osborn is a lecturer on
“Spiritualism,” and claims to have
the ability to perform the ocult
leels of spiritualism, nil of which
he terms trickery.
Just before the annual confer¬
ence of 1904 it is said he had trou¬
ble with the official board of the
church at Jackson, but that the
members of the board finally
agreed to request his reappoinment.
Last January, however, he again
benan to advertise his lectures of
“Spiritualism,” and about Februa¬
ry 1, it is said, he quit the pastor¬
ate without the consent of Bishop
Hendrix. This is considered a se¬
rious offense in the Methodist
church, since all pastors are ap¬
pointed to a charge until they are
released by their bishop.
At the conference in session last
week In Caruthersville, a commit¬
tee conr.Sting of the Rev. Dr. Mc
Murryo* Centenary church, chair¬
man ; the Rev. W. B. North of De
Roto a*v. the Rev. Mr. Crow of
Sikestou, sustained tne cnarges
against him and their action was
ratified by the vote of the confer¬
ence.
Before the vote was taken, Mr.
Osborn told of what he had done
for the church and of his faithful¬
ness to his charge, but offered i:o
apology for leaving his charge.
When the minutes of the session
were read he objected to their ap¬
proval upon the ground that the
secretary had made a record of his
remarks but had made no refer
erence to the address of Bishop
Hendrix.
The latter was just about to
board the train at Caruthersville
when he was served with the suit.

Or. Carnes Here Monday.
Dr. Carnes, a veteinary surgeon
i of Atlanta, was called here Mon¬
day evening to examine a disease
which is prevalent with the cows
of this section.
Several very fine cows have died
recently and a number of them are
sick.
The disease is a soreness of the
mouth and feet which if let alone
will produce death. One cow in
a pasture will impart the disease
to the rest.
Dr. Carnes left two prescriptions
with Capt. G. D. Heard, which are
as follows:
“Carbolic Acid 1$ drachms; Su
I gar Lead 4 drachms; Sulphate Zinc
4 drac hms; Water 1 qt.—Apply
tQ mout h and feet 8 or 4 times a
day.”—Drs. Carnes & Carnes.
“Nitric Silver 2^ drachms; Wa¬
ter 1 quart.—Mix. Use as a'wash
3 or 4 times a day.”—Drs. Carnes
