turued off and a beautiful pnotograpn
of tho actors in this ceremony was
taken
In place of Rev Dr Kynett of Phila
delphia who should have spoken on
Home Missions -and Church Exten
sion but was not able to reach us
Bishop Warren then delivered a power
ful address His general theme was
Home Missions but he discussed it
in a manner very unusual and unusually
striking Showing how all parts of
the earth are bond together and how
each part depends on others he describ
ed in rraDhic language and impressive
the American
pictures the United States
can nation as a great missionary agency
It is a Government of and by and
Fronch Revolution
for the people The
tion never could have unseated the old
Bourbon incubus but for the example
of the Revolution in America Some
tell us there were excesses in the
French movement So there were
twenty eight hundred people lost their
lives on tho guillotine But one hun
dred thousand Huguenots were slaugh
tered under Louis XIV The very ex
cesses of the Revolutionists were less
sanguinary than was the so called es
tablished order
There are fourteen inventions that
as the world now is must go where ever
man shall be Among them are the
telegraph the telephone the sewing
machine tho writing machine all of
them products of American genius But
that genius would have had but a nar
row field for its activity but for educa
tion which has lifted American labor
higher then elsewhere Our
to a plan
laborers do far more then the laborers of
other lands and of course he earns
more His success is an evangel to the
laborers less favored But aside from
any influence this has on tho secular
life of the other people is its suggestion
What is the secret of
of the question
And sooner or
Americas greatness
later comes the answer America is
the land where the church is free

The Mountaineer
In a character new to the stage Chas
H Colson the popular actor manager
after many years visits to our city in
dramatic enterprises to be tho producer
of which always meant welcome and
success in McCook will make his last
appearance on the local stage tonight
in a character which is new to the foot
light Jeff Simmons in the play of
which ho is the author The Mountain
eer
Mr Colson is too well and favorably
known in this city to call for extended
comment here but it is apt at this point
to remind our readers his friends and
admirers that it would be fitting to sig
nalize his farewell tonight by an attend
ance indicative of appreciation of his
sincere and earnest endeavors in the
past to give McCook nothing but tho
best in his productions and tonights
attraction will be a gem in tho mosaic of
impersonations in which he will be long
remembered here
The Mountaineer deals with inci
dents in a vendetta between two families
in the mountains of Kentucky and in
the unfolding of the plot and its surpris
ing and unique climax Mr Colson has
used the skill and ingenuity for which
he is well known The story mingles
hatred with love and pathos with com
edy and holds the rapt attention of its
auditors from the rise of the curtain un
til its final fall and a treat is promised
those who visit the opera house tonight
