STEPHENS tip is Smoke, Dow in Ashes, Indian ' Creek Sorrowing For Its Church.

Terrible Accident- Monday night about ten o'clock Charlie Street and Fred Fischer attempted to .Ford North river at the Wrigtrtnryer ford, one, if not tbe most treach erous ford on tbe river. The bank is steep, tbe horses lost their footing and the swolen stream washed them away. As they swept by an overhanging limb, Fischer caught it and in some manner which he cannot explain reach ed tbe shore more dead than alive The next morning the team was found. One horse drowned, the other expiring shortly af terwards Charlie's body had not been recovered up to yesterday after noon It was only a few short months ago that he irarried Miss Rose Fischer. Not Rich Is being rich a sufficient rea son for profliagcy. Is being lich a gond reason wny tbe hard earned dollars of the masses should be thrown to the four winds and put into all kinds of j ibbery? During the past ten years the expenses of this government have doubled. It has been done under successive Republican ad ministrations and the only ex cuse given is: "Tbe country is rich." We deny tbe statement, "Tbe country is rich," in the 6ense used, for 99 per cent of tbe rev enues are from the outrageous tariff and it is the poor, not the rich, who pay it. John Clark and sisters. Misses Jennie and Sarah, of Quiocy, came over yesterday to visit relatives. Ph-et music vat Dimmitt's JtwelyStore. Little did the consecrated christians worshiping at St. Stephens Sunday March 10, 1907 and talking of tbe de struction of their beloved bouse of worship, just thirty one years before, dream that on tbe. morro w, once again their bouse of worship would be tak en from tbem. Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock during a thunder storm, tbe lightning struck tbe beautiful spire of St. Stephens at Indian Creek. In a moment tbe flames burst forth and then for more than an hour slowly ate their way from east to west across that great roof that has bheltered thous ands of devout christians as ever worshiped their God A portion of tbe furniture in cluding the organ, was saved, but in a badly damaged condition. Tbis city right at tbe start was appealed to for assistance in their time of need, but we learn that it was simply impos sible to send the fire engine there. As explained to us: Tbe weight of engine and condition of roads would have barred four horses from making tbe trip in an hour and what was worse the engine would have been useless after the first jolt into a rut, because the exhaust pipe is only ten inches from the floor and a rop into a rut would have meant tbe tearing off of tbe exhaust pipe and placing tbe engine out of com mission. There was only $3,000 insur ance. Twentv-nve nundred on the house and five hundred on the furniture It is doubtful if the building today could be replaced for 12.000. for it had one of. if not the largest audi?uce chambers in the county. St, Stephens was tbe parent church of tbe Holy Rosary of this city and of St. Johns at Stoutsville. As this data furnished us through the kindness of Rev. Fr. P F. Cooney pritst in charge ot St. Stephens c'earlv shows, St. Stephens might justly be called, the Christian Cradle of Monroe County. Missouri. Remember Indian Creek was first named Swinkey. after its founder. Then changed in run or of bis wife, to E lisibetbtowa Indian Creek coming later. "The first Jesuit came here 85 years ago." "Tbe first resi. dent priest 82 years ago." The first marriage now on record is." "Thos. Yates to Eliza Pierceall 1833." They were the parents of W. R. Yates, PresideutLot the F. & M. Bank and John. Thomas and Al Yates of tbis city. "Tbe first baptism, Tashington Green slave of Clement Green, March 1832." "These are not the first, but first on record." "The oth ers are on record l i St. Louis."
