The attendance at the evangelistic
1 1 i L L L I U , ill Lin . . . - . - . .
has more than trebled since the meet
ings began.
Rev. C. M. Ritchie, of North Bend,
Neb., has been adding spiritual power
to the revival, as well as giving forth
excellent pospel instruction.
A special sermon to men was preached
j at the Presbyterian church on Thurs
day evening. It revealed Christianity
as necessary to the highest type of
manhood.
The members of the Christian
church came en masse to the Tresby
terian church for both services, on
last Lord's day. Their pastor, Rev.
Bush, delivered the morning sermon.
The support given by these brethren
has made the evangelistic meetings
much better than they could have
have been without their presence.
Rev. W. S. Ritchie, the pastor of
the Presbyterian church, will preach
a special sermon to "men only" on
next Lord's day at the hour of '.
o'clock. Let all the men come and
enjoy a good meeting.
Those rejoicing in the revival meet
ings are the ones who have closed
their stores and otherwise denied self
"for Jesus sake." "o man ever tried
to serve Cod in the old-fashioned
Biblical without being blessed and
made glad.
A good many men are more anxious
to take up the morning paper and
learn the price of hogs and steers, than
they are to take up the Bible and learn
what the recording angel is writing
do.vn upon their souls.
A clean life, a working know ledge of
the Bible, love for lost souls and the
spirit of prayer were recently pointed
out in one of the revival meetings as
qualifications of the soul-winner. Too
many church members fail in the mat
ter of a ''clean life," and are never
able to start in the search of Jesus
Christ for unconverted men.
FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE

EVIDENTLY AN OLD VIOLIN
Purchased of a Pawnbroker in Sioux City,
Iowa, One Month Ago.
Claude Hostetter is a Cass county
boy, and for some time has been a
student of the violin in Sioux City,
Iowa. His father is a prosperous
farmer and a most excellent citizen
living near Murray, this county.
One day Claude was walking a!out
the city in which he was studying his
profession, and passed a pawnbroker's
shop. His attention was attracted to
a violin hanging in the shop window.
So strongly was he impressed with the
beautiful lines of the instrument as he
viewed it through the glass that he
could not resist the temptation of a
further examination. He entered,
and was allowed the privilege of a
further examination, and tiie more he
handled it the more determined he
became to purchase it if within his
means. He asked the price of the
violin, and when told it could be pur
chased for ,1.00 he jumped at the bar
gain and bought it- The young man
is a judge of violins and was satisfied
with the bargain. After paying for
it he was told several incidents con
nected witii the instrument, one of
which is that it was gathered up
among many other articles after a
railroad wreck over a year ago and
pawned. It is old and scarred, but
proves to be a rare old instrument and
worth a princely sum.
The legend connected w ith this rare
specimen of the violin would make in
teresting reading, but without the
consent of Mr. Hostetter we do not
feel at liberty to relate, but may do
so in some future issue of the Journal.
Judges say that it is perhaps worth
$."(0, and that there are but two or
three similar ones in this country, and
they are in the possession of the finest
violinists of the east.
We stated in yesterday's issue of the
Journal that Claude was suffering
another attack of appendicitis, but
this was a mistake, as he was brought
home by his father a few days ago,
suffering from a severe attack of ner
vous prostration, wherein the first
chapter of legend begins.
Dies at York
Mrs. Gertrude M. Wiley, residing
south of Plattsmouth. received a
message this morning announcing the
death of her youngest daughter, Miss
Vesta, who was in that city attend
ing school. Miss Wiley was a young
lady eighteen years of age, and had
always been in perfect health, and her
death occurred w hile attending to her
studies in the school room, and as the
message gave no cause for her sudden
death the family are led to believe it
must have been from heart failure.
Mrs. Wiley, mother of the girl, her
sister and husband, G. Parker and
wife came to .Plattsmouth today and
took the train for York. Miss Wiley
was a young lady of exceptional tal
ents in a musical direction, and had a
bright future in her chosen work. The
shock was indeed a severe one upon
the aged mother and relatives.
