VICTIM HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Clergyman Anxious to Have Jus
tice' Done, but Is Opposed to
I.vnching Hounds Fail to
Catch the Trail.
Ono of tha leaders in tho posso that
scoured tha country about Godfrey, 111., on
Friday night and all day yesterday for the
negro assailants of William Riggs was tho
P.everend Owen W. Rose of Sabula. la., a
brother-in-law of tho injured man.
The clergyman Is visiting his relatlvo and
Is greatly enraged about tho attack on him.
Despite his peaceful calling he swears that
the r.egroes shall suffer for their orlme, and
In hi ecclesiastical uniform ho was one of
the foremost pursuers with the llttlo band
that trailed tho fugitives -with the blood
hounds. They found absolutely no clew
to tho whereabouts of tho negroes.
Mr. Rlggs Is a well-known farmer near
Godfrey. On Friday evening two burly
negroes accosted him whilo ho waa at work
a his farm and asked for work. When ho
replied that he needed no help they at
tacked him and hacked him horribly with
razors. Doctor W. H. C. Smith, who dressed
Hlggs's wounds, thinks that ho has a very
ailm chance for recovery.
The Reverend Mr. Rose thinks that there
Is no punishment ptrong enough for the
men who perpetrated the deed anil hopes
tho court will have no mercy on them. In
the search the posso made through tho
country the clergyman was one of tho lead
ers, and urged on the men and the blood
hounds to greater efforts when the interest
seemed to flag.
When Night Chiof of Police ritzglbbons
of Alton sent word to Godfrey that ho had
captured two negroes on Friday night,
whom he suspected of being the fugitives,
the Reverend Mr. Rose as very glad, but
the men turned out to be two peaceable
wayfarers and they wero released.
, The Reverend Mr. Rose says ho has a
flock In Sabula, la., but that does not In
terfere with his natural human feelings as
a roan, against such wretches as these ne
groes, lie does not want to see them
lynched, as do some of the people of tha
neighborhood, but he wants them punished
to the full extent of the law. Ho and his
neighbors at a late hour last night still
nere busily searching lor the negroes.

NEWS OF RELIGIOUS WORLD.
Growing Movement for Union of AH Baptist Forces in Amer
ica for Work at Home and Abroad Presbyterian
Women's Efforts for Missions.
For years thero has been a crowing tend
ency among tho Baptist forces of this coun
try toward a co-oieratlve union of effort
both in the homo and foreign fields. While
this tendency has not as yet taken definite
shape, still It Is being extensively discussed
In denominational circles, nnd a definite ba
sis of union, at least so far as Is possible
in an Independent form of church govern
ment, may be ono of the possibilities of tho
Twentieth Century.
Perhap3 no writer has done more toward
furthering this tendency than tho Ileverend
Doctor J. C. Armstrong, editor of the Cen
tral Baptist of this city, -who ranks as ono
of tho foremost thinkers of the Baptist
Church In America. Somo months ago Doc
tor Armstrong was Invited to read a pa
per on this general subject beforo tho Kan
sas City Baptist ministers' meeting, nnd
subsequently before tho BaDtist Ministers'
Association oTtbis city. Both associations
requested Its publication, and It has been
put out In pamphlet form. Tho paper has
attracted wldo attention among Baptists,
particularly In tho South, and has awak
ened no little criticism and commendation.
Tho former came largely from the South,
though It was also not wanting In words
of hearty commendation.
In discussing the question of more defi
nite union of effort, tho Doctor sass: "Pint,
thero is doctrinal unity among American
Baptists. Students of denominational eco
nomics have declared themselves anmzed
at tha singular agreement umons Baptists
whero thero is utter absence of authorita
tive councils and Imposing creeds.
"Second, these duplicate forces are at
tempting to accomplish exactly tho same
work In m!sIon fields. A traveler In visit
ing a mission rttaticn of American Baptists
In China could not determine by the char
r.etcr of the work done there which sec
tion of our homeland Is directing tho work.
In aim.s and policies all our forces are one.
"Third, there are no geographical or po
litical barriers crossing our home-land
which make it lmposslblo or unwise for the
brethren of different sections to Join hand
and hearts in a common effort. Tho war Is
over. If our American army can muster In
the prluo of united strength, and Its young
men go to battlo and to victory with no
weaknesses along the line of a former
cleavage. It is next to disreputable for
God's people and God's joung men to carry
two banners to a foreign fit-Id banners alike
inscribed with the name. of ChrUt and the
pledgo of victory, but distlgured on some
little corner by the story of a divUion that
has long ago kibt Its signilicance.
These propositions are presented at length
by Doctor Armstrong, and illustrations are
given in proof of the positions taken. At
tention wan specially called to an Incident
of two years ago, when a delegation of min
isters waited upon President McKlnley and
urged him to use kU influence to having all
International differences settled by arbitra
tion. "Mr. McKlnley," says the doctor, "heard
them patiently and assured them of his de
sire and intention to carry out their wish.
But before dismissing them, he suggested
that they would add much to the force of
their plea if the Northern Methodist and the
Southern Methodist preachers before him
would bury their home differences, and If tho
Northern I'resbyterlans and Southern Pres
byterians before him would arbitrate their
llttlo differences, so that as a Christian
people wo might bear a full olive branch
and an unspotted banner of peace to other
peoples."
In closlntr hla discussion Doctor Arm
strong urged the following considerations
for the union of the Baptist forces of Amcr- ,
lea: "First among these would be the re- j
Auction In the cost of mlstionary opera- I
tions. Rigid economy is the only law that i
Is allowable In administering mission fund.i. ,
No dollar cries out mare loudly for Its i
proper use than the mission dollar. Palsied
be the hand that would tako from tho Lord's
treasury money given to him. Forever die I
any prejudice which consumes any part of I
the sacrifice in tho worship of itself. j
aliouipr uci.ein ui t.iMisjiiuaiivii ... iic
more perfect harmony. Both In the home
and Corolgn fields. Up to the present there
has been much conflict among our boards in
locating their missionaries. In fact, wher
ever we study the matter, at home or
abroad, qn the border line or in the center,
thero are conditions of discord, of partial
view, of narrow appeal and of isolation.
"Lastly, euch a unification of Interests
would be a practical demonstration that
the Master's cause Is supreme. The strong
est bond of Christian fellowship Is the
recognition mat amy iu irnsr. anu uro
Spirit of Christ are stronger, higher, holier
than any other interest or consideration."
The doctor then says that Missouri stands
foremost In Its practical union of the Bap
tist forces of tho State, and that, as a re
sult. Is 'doing more proportionately than any
other State toward the promotion of home
mHili yNBERWEM-OOSETS
Still they come no end to the bargains in this department
offerings are more extraordinary than
tiac tone ceioreana nlll undoubtedly attract lots of attention.

stitution thit Is doing an extensive mis
sionary work, and doing it so quietly ard
unostentatiously that little le known of it
outside of a small circle within the de
nomination. The board was organized April
M. 1577. at First Presbyterian Church, and
there were forty-two charter members. Tho
flr.-t president was Mrs. J. II. Brookes, and
the first vice president was Mrs. J. W. Mc
Intre. Tho becretarles were Miss V. O.
Breckinridge. Mrs. L. Boggs, Mrs. J. W.
Allen and Mrs. Kob?rt Irwin, and the treas
urer Mrs. Thomas B. Tutt.
From the beginning the organization com
bined work for both homo and foreign mis
sions, regarding them as necessarily inter
dependent. The first annual meeting was
held at tha birthplace of the board, and the
opening address was delivered by the pas
tor of the church, tho Reverend Doctor
Ganze. Twenty-three auxiliaries were re
ported, nnd the treasury receipts wero

creased, until to-day It is represented In
five synods nnd twenty-two presbyteries,
having 317 W. M. 8. 'auxiliaries, nineteen
young lad let.' socletl. forty-three mission
bands, and has In alignment 167 Y. P. S. C.

Its receipts last year were 112,151.23.
The flret missionary sent out by till;

yc-ars to missionary work among the
Alaskan Indians, with encouraging results.

DETERMINED TO PPLY FOR
A WARRANT AGAINST R0EMER.
Three Girls Who Declare He Insulted Them Believe His
Superiors in the Police Department Are In
tent on Shielding Him.
After waiting a whole week for the offi
cers of the Police Department to take somo
action looking to the punishment of the offi
cer who, they allege, grossly Insulted them
while on their way home from work. Misses
Nellie Keepler. Rose Littleton and Ella
Woody huve concluded to Invoke the court
of Justice. They announced to The Republic
last night that they would apply for a war
rant to-morrow against Special Patrolman
T. Rosser Roemer chnrging assault.
"Wc have waited patiently for the gentle
men at the head of the police to do some
thing," said Miss Woody, "and are now con
vinced that they are trying to shield the
man who attacked us on Seventh street last
Saturday night without cause. Our friends
have advised us to wait no longer, and we
will not. Of course we dislike the notoriety
that may follow a trial of the case In open
court and think Mr. Hawes and Chief Camp
bell might have spared U9 this; but they
seem, determined to defend the man, and we
are equally determined to have him pun
ished. If there is such a thing as Justice
we will try to see that this man gets It. If
he does', he will no longer be In position to
Insult honest girls and then hide behind the
protection of hh policeman's star.
"We have employed an attorney to prose
cute the case and we believe there are
enough true men in the crowd who wit
nessed the attack on us to come forward at
the trial and tell the truth about the as
sault. "We went to see Mr. Hawes last Monday
afternoon nnd were lucky enough to tlnd
Chief Campbell in his office. We stated the
whole care to them. Just as it occurred. We
could se from Mr. Hawes questions that
he did rot like to prosecute the officer, but
we did suppose he would at least order that

Unique Tarty of Travelers at
Washington.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Sept. 8. Probably the most
unique party of travelers that ever reg
istered at the Mstropo'.ltan Hotel aro stop
ping there at present. The party consists
of R. S. Munger and wife of Birmingham.
Ala,, and eleven boys and girls, all close
relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Munger.
"This is what we trm our nnnml vaca
tion." said Mr. Munter this evening. "Every
summer my wife and I gather together as
many of our kinsfolk as we can and take
them on a iiltic spree. Our party this year
numbers thirteen nnd Includes son. daugh
ter, nieces, cousins and my wife's sister-in-law.
Last year there were twenty-six of
us. and we had a Inllr trln over thA
Rockies. This summer nr have visited A-
oury I'.irK. Niagara Falls and the Thou
sand Island?. Wo will spend several days
here and then proceed to our respective
homes.
"A peculiar thin about our party is the
way the supposedly unlucky number 11
has .stuck to us. Thre are thirteen in the
phrty. Wo left Saratoga on a Friday nnd
there were thirteen cars in the train. One
of our seats was No. 13. One of the girls Is
IJ years old. We have bn on our Journey
thirty-one days, thirteen reversed. We leave
for home on the 13th.
PHONOGRAPH HEVTS ORATORS.
Vt'Hr Democrat of I'hrlpa County
nronglit Woe to Rrpnbllcnns.
Phelps County is really very strongly
Democratic. It is so much so that at any
time except around a presidential election
It is hard to find a Republican there. But
tho presidential election Is on and the Re
publicans organized a County Committee
and set about to make converts to the faith
of Imperialism. The Republican managers
scraped together a cnmpilgn fund and
rented a hall In the center of the city of
Rolla. In this hall the chairman of tho
County Commlttfe and his satellites hold
forth constantly. They have n speech or
so every hour In the day. Occasionally re
freshments are served. As a result Repub
lican headquarters In Rolla has been a busy
place.
The Democrats of Rolla are active enougn.
but they did not desire to wear themselves
out before the campaign was fairly started.
This Republican headquarters, however,
was a sort of a bete nolr to them. Secre
tary B. H. Rucker of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee came down to St. Louis
Friday. For nn hour or two he hustled
around. He drew up at the Laclede Hotel,
worn out but smiling. In a few minutes an
express wagon delivered a mysterious pack
age to his address. Rucker took It and de
parted for Rolla.
Yesterday afternoon he rented a room In
Rolla next door to the Republican head
quarters. He dragged the mysterious box
In and for a long time there was sounds of
hammering and sawtntr. Tho ReDubllcan

Among those who witnessed the assault

He was standing directly across Seventh)
street when Roemer rushed up to them,
threw his arms about them and started to
drag them toward the earner. He thought
It was an altercation between member ot
the same family, and did not Interfere.
When he learned the true nature of th
case he vas outraged.
"I am sure he waa drinking." he said to
a Republic reporter yesterday, "but. drunk

REGISTER BEFORE TUB RUSH.
Advice of Election OOtolals to Voters)
Enrollment Lust Week. !
While the registration of voters has bees;
much larger thu last week than In an?
other week sinra the enrollment com
menced. It was not quite so large as the
Eoard ot Election Commissioners had an
ticipated or desired. Under the new law
many complications are liable to arise to
delay registration pending investigation or
consideration of particular cases, and the
officials have been anxious that persona
who have been naturalized, or have any
any doubt as to their eligibility, should
have their names entered at the main of
fice. The case of Mr. John J. Morard, as re
lated In detail In yesterday morning's Re
public, is an example of the uncertainty
of being ablo to reglsteT and vote. Mr.
Morard had lived In the United States near
ly fifty years and had voted forty-six years.
Nevertheless he was denied the privilege ox
registering because his papers do not con
form to law. Instances like this must be
considered fully, and time is essential for
this consideration. The registration depu
ties say that many persons who have been
In this country for several years, and who
have voted before, were this year obliged
to pursue the course prescribed by law be
fore being permitted to register. Many of
them would have lost tbeir right to voto
had they delayed enrolling until the pre
cinct registration.
Up to Friday night 6.3M names had been
inscribed on the books since August 39. The
total registration up to Friday night was
U.&33; yesterday's entries Included about 600
additional names. The dally enrollment tor
the last eight days is as follows: August
30. 715; August 31. 951: September 1. 5; Sep
tember 3. 1S5; September 4. L109; September
5. 1.01J: September 6. 93; September 7, 978.
Total for the eight days, 6,3oL Total since
June 4. 11,S92. .
Secretary Hoblitzelle very earnestly urges
that everybody who possibly can do so
should register at the main office, on tha
first floor of the new City Hall, and not
wait until the precinct-regis trtJcns-r Irs
