HOLD THREE J5REAT MEETINGS Six Hundred Men Hear Lyon at the Auditorium In the Afternoon. Yesterday was a red letter day In the Lyon union meetings. In the morning a large audience at the Methodist church listened to an able message on the "Basis of the Next Great Revival. " Mr. Lyon reasoned that "ovory great spiritual awaken ing In the history of Christianity had formed about some central truth that had become the dynamics and the mainspring of the entire movement. The revival under Luther emphasized justification by faith. Wesley's cen tral thought was the Holy Spirit Fin- noy's was the responsibility of choice and the leading message of Moody was salvation by grace. " The next revival , Mr. Lyon believes , will have as Its basis the great principle of the Lordship of Jesus Christ not simply as savior from the guilt of sin but master of the entire life. In the afternoon the subject was "Temptation , the great fight that every man has to wage against the evil forces within him. " For an hour the great audience listened most at tentively , the Intense strain relieved every few minutes by most enthusi astic applause. At the close the speaker announced ho had only fin ished his Introduction and would con tinue the subject next Sunday after noon. It Is needless to say there will bo a crowded house at that time. The solo by Mr. Coultes , "I've a mother now In Heaven , " was espe clally well received and the orchestra and male chorus added greatly to the Interest. And to hear the great au dience whistle several verses was cer tainly most Inspiring. Last evening In splto of the storm the people packed the Methodist church. Some of the best singers In the city a ro In the largo chorus. They sang In a most pleasing manner "When the Silver Chord Is Loosened. " No lover of good music ought to miss these song services. The evangelist spoke upon "Jesus and Barabbas. " Hie theme was the great election. "Barabbos Is the scriptural represen tation of Satan. The usual conception of the . ' . ? -1 is erroneous. Ho Is gen erally jucuired-wlth horns und hoofs. The scripture portrays him as an an gel of light. Ills inodorn counter part , " said the speaker , "more gener ally wears a dress suit or dccollotto gown. Ho pictured the inodorn Pllato who wanted to he on both sides but was unworthy the respect of either. Ho bade his hearers choose Christ as It was the right thing to do , the rert- sonable thing , the triumphant side and the course that would cause your Influence to count aright. " At the close a largo number came to the front , expressing tholr purpose to confess Christ. The meetings will continue all this week at Uio Methodist church. Wednesday Club. The Wednesday club will meet to morrow afternoon at 2:1)0 : ) with Mrs. dco. D. Buttorlleld. City Politics.

They wore on at the playhouse and not so large and enthusiastic a crowd has listened to the lines of a troup of actors In many days as that which greeted the homo talent people In "A Woman's Honor. " The house was not packed to the standing room but It was filled from front to roar and those who went got their monoy's worth before the first act was done. There were eagles In the audience and eagles in the wings and they were favorite birds for fair throughout the perform ance. The plcco was put on by Sugar City Aerlo No. 357. Whenever that crowd of jolly good fellows try to do a thing , they do It right. Harry C. Porter was the director and his training was highly commendable In every part.

Through It ran various threads of love which had difficulties In their winding but which finally worked out smoothly The cast was an all-star aggrega tion. J. II. Conloy mndo a good gen- oral. Charles Gorecko was clever as Pedro Mondez. John Colling handled a double role with good effect. Clyde Hayes showed up In old time form , as Gilbert Hall , a man in love. Har ry Porter of course couldn't help be ing clever at it. Ira B. Hull made a witty servant and Miss Daisy May hew was a pretty "Olive. " Miss Maude Clark , as a young daughter was good enough to be true and Miss Anna Evans did well as a wife. For star honors , Ira Hull am Charles Gerecke seemed to carry the audience. The Eagles demonstrated their ability to manage theatricals success fully. They can give another , the audience seemed to think , and when they do the house will bo just as well filled and better than it was last night. Two Young Miners From Vic tor , Colo. , Arrive. TRAGIC TALE OF THE STRIKE Between the Union and the Mine Owners , They Were Kept Out of Work Until They Could Scarcely Get Out of the Mountains. [ From Tuesday's Dally. ] Two young boys , their juvenile faces pinched and drawn and dwarfed by the life that they have had to lead in former years , arrived In Norfolk yesterday as tramps , having como from the mines of Colorado where the strikes were carried on last season and whore these two young fellows , together with 4,000 others , after hav ing been almost starved to death be tween the unions and the mine own ers , were driven out into the world. They were looking for work. They were hungry , pale and weak from their travels. They had been trying to get odd jobs along the route but had failed. At WIsner , they said , they stopped at seven different farm houses In search for work. The farmers had Invariably given them generous dinners but had needed no hands to help In the fields. In Norfolk the boys struck Howard Beemer , a liberal Northwestern brakeman - man who gave them of eating and of money nnd went out to find them work. The story they tell of the strike at Victor is tragic to a degree. There were thousands of helpless , young miners like themselves and they wore kept from work so long that they scarcely had strength enough to walk out of the mountains and many of their comrades died by the wayside , literally starved to death. These are the first that have struck this vicinity from the mining strike locality. They are under twenty years of ago. County Commissioners to Meet.
