We would like for you to inform

has not the street been raised in

derstand why the city should fill

they think our wives and children

HiS PRAYER ANSWERED.
A Remarkable Occurrence That
Broke up a Western Meeting.
Walnut Ridge, Ayk., is all ex
citement over the terrible answer
that was made to a prayer at a
camp meeting near the town last
night.
The weather is warm, and the
people have built an arbor in a
grove, and revival meetings are
being held in it. Great interest
has been manifested, and this
fact has added to the zeal. One
night recently, as Rev. Robinson,
a local preacher of strong lungs,
was praying, he asked the Lord to
bless them now with rain, saying:
“Lord come down now and pour
out a blessing of some nature up
on us; one of such a nature as we
can remember; one that we can
feel certain that it is from you,
and come now.”
Here the prayer stopped, not
because the “amen” was reached,
but because a flash of lightning
came down with the roar of ten or
more cannon, shattering a huge
tree near by, scattering its branch
es over the entire audience, knock
ing some senseless, wounding oth
ers and frightening all, most of
the audience believing that the
end of the world had come.
They had scarcely recovered
rom the shock when such a vol
ume of water came down as to al
most drown them all.
This would not seem so peculiar
were it not for the fact that until
the flash of lightning no cloud was
visible, and stars were shining
brightly everywhere; but at that
moment a small coffin-shaped
cloud hovered over the audience,
and from it came the deluge of
water.
The Globe-Democrat correspond
ent has talked with many that
were present, and they all unite
in saying that no cloud was visi
ble until after the crash; then the
coffin-shaped cloud hovered over
them.
The lightning stroke was heard
1 ‘veral miles away, and the smal
cloud was noticed, but no water
fell except in the small area of the
camp meeting ground.
It was a remarkable occurrence,
and whether it came in wrath or
as a blessing, it broke up the meet
ing, and but few of those who were
present can be induce,l t >go near
the ground again. Those who have
examined the ground think that
not less than fifteen inches of wa
ter fell, and that in less that, five
minutes.—St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat.

REV. SAM JONES’
He Invades West Virginia and has
a Vast Audience.
Monongah, W, Va., August 15.
Sam Jones began his first tour
through the wilds of West Virginia
today, preaching two sermons at
Gipsy Grove to 15,000 persons, it be
ing the largest religious assemblange
ever held in the state. All railroads
ran a cent-a-mile excursion trains,
bringing people from 100 miles in ell
directions. Nothing occured to mar
the occasion. Jones is billed for the
backwoods counties, for which he
leaves tomorrow, where he preaches
at nearly every county seat.
WILD BILL A SOLID MAN.
The Body of the Famous Despera
do has Turned to Stone.
The climate of Colorado is so
exceedingly dry iu rhe greater por
tion of the state that ordinary ob
jects, such as potatoes, vegetables
and even small animals petrify
when covored with sand.
The body of Wild Bill, the fa
mous desperado is solid stone.
He was buried in a saudy country
near Telluride, and about four
years ago his friends decided tc.
put up a monument to his memory
They went out to his grave
which is in the open prairie, and
one of the party, an old scout was
taken along to exactly locate the
epot where he was buried.
The sand had shifted and blown
in great heaps, as it does al,
through that country, and the scout
had a good deal of difficulty in lo
eating the spot. Finally he
struck a mound which he said had
Wild Bill under it.
Owing to the uncertainty of the
situation and his hesitancy, the
party decided to dig down and see
if he was right.
Presently the spade, ran into a
rock —a scarce thing in that coun
try. They shoveled around it and
soon revealed the petrified image
of Wild Bill as perfect as the day
be died, with not a trace of de
composition.
Even the clothes and shoes were
turned to stone.
Some of the parties wanted to
take up the body for the purpose
of exhibition. But one of Bill’s old
pals, Shorty Jake, as be was call
ed remarked that the first man
who tried to do so would find a
bed in the hole that Bill filled. So
the idea was abandoned.—Wash
ington Post.
