The spring communion season of the
Rebersburg Reformed charge, of which

Easter Sunday evening. Large congrega-
tions were present at all the services and
the number of communicants was in-
spiring. Special services were held at
Madisonburg during the week preceding
Easter.
Fifteen persons united with the church,
seven by the rite of confirmation, seven
by letter and one by reprofession. Five |
infants received baptism. The pastor ad-
ministered communion privately to twen-
ty-one persons. The offerings for benev-
olence were liberal, amounting to $193.44,
and will be applied on the classical ap- |
portionment. i

of $1,200.
Colored Easter eggs are beginning to be among
the things that were. Some years ago nearly |
every family would color eggs for Easter, now
not one family in a hundred does so.
Another snow on Saturday night last, followed |
by a cold, blustery Sunday. Everybody thought
that the storm of Saturday a week ago was the
onion snow. If so, what was the snow of last
Seturday? Potato snow!
The Sunday school Easter services at the Re-
formed church on Sunday evening last were very
beautiful ond interesting. The interior of the
church was elaborately and handsomely deco- !
rated with spruce, plants and a profusion of flow.
ers. All the little folks acquitted themselves very
ereditably, proving that their training had been
in skillful and careful hands. The music and
singing was decidedly of a high grade of excel
lance and very appropriate. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity.
Quite an excitement was occa: ioned at the sale |
of W. O. Gramley, on Saturday jast, by the sense-
less abuse of a horse. The animal had been tied
to a telephone pole during the sale and becoming
restive slipped, and in falling broke the shaft of
the buggy. The owner took a piece of the shaft
and commenced beating the animal most uniner
cifully until stopped by the bystanders. Had we
an agent for the prevention of cruelty to animals
the owner of the horse would have discovered him-
self before magistrate Jamison and been com-
pelled to pay for his cruelty and folly.

ships, will be held in the Reformed church at
Spring Mills in the afternoon and evening of Fri
day, the 21st, inst. The occasion promises to be
of an unusually interesting character. The
afternoon session will open with an anthem by
the choir, followed with devotional services by
Dr. W. H. Schuyler, after which Rev. WwW. D. Gee
sey will deliver an address on the subject, “What |
a Pupil of Sixteen Should Be and Know" fol.
lowed by Rev. O. G. Martin with “The Bock We
Use,” and Rev. J. Max Lantz with “The Boy |
Scout Movement.” The reverend gentlemen be- |
ing able speakers, highly instructive and inter-
of officers and the treasurer's report will close the
afternoon session. In the evening a praise serv.
ice will be conducted by Miss Bertha Strohmeyer.
Miss Martha Robinson, one of the active field
workers and a very pleasing speaker, will also
address the convention. “Organized Adult Bible |

F. W. Barry. Miss Robinson will remain in the
county the entire week and will deliver an ad-

Mexican Government Favorable to Armis-
tice Terms.
A proposition for an armistice, pend-
ing negotiations for a settlement of
Mexico's internal _ troubles, was re-
reived by the department of foreign
relations In Mexico City from Wash-
ington, presumably from Dr. Vasquez
Gomez.
A reply was returned in which it
was indicated that the government
looked with favor upon the suggestion.
Rebels Evacuate Agua Prieta.
It was evident from the locks of the
Agua Prieta streets when the federals
entered after the rebels had silently
stolen out after the raking fire poured
into the town, had been more effective
than the rebeof admitted.
Fifty bodies were found lying in the
streets, buildings were perforated and
many adobe residences were shelter-
ing wounded non-combatants, includ-
ing severai women and children.
Part of the insurrecto garrison was
scattered in the abandonment of the
town. Throwing away their guns and
leaving their horses, they fled in dis-
order in different directions. The prin-
cipal portion of the rebel command,
however, retired in good order toward
the mountains south of the city. Two
insurrecto commanders, Balazario
Garcia and Colonel Medina, deserted
their men and fled across the border,
where they surrendered to the Amer
| ican troops.
The victorious federal force which
occupied the town numbered about
1200 men. Lieutenant Colonel Reynal-
do Diaz, nephew of President Diaz,
was in supreme command. Under him
were Major Luis Medina Barron, of
the rurales, and Commandant Fran-
cisco Chiapa, formerly prefect of the
town of Montezuma.
Despite the fact that the United
States troops compelled (he residents
of Douglas to keep iar from that side
of the town nearest the figating, John
Hamilton, an American, was struck
in the breast and probably fatally in-
jured by a Mexican bullet wiile stand-
ing in the central part of Douglas.
Several others were wounded, among
them Oscar Goll, a newspaper man,
who was shot in the head.
This incident, following the killling
of two Americans in Douglas last
Thursday by stray builets, and coming
immediately after President Taft's
warning to the Mexican government
and the direct demands made upon
both rebels and federals by Colonel
Shunk, commanding the United States
cavalry at Douglas, to avoid firing
, across the frontier, is fraught with
menace of serious international com-
plications.
A force of 1500 federals attacked the
rebels, intrenched at Agua Prieta, the
Mexican border town, practically ad-
joining Douglas. They were driven
back and the rebels held every posi
tion which (hey held when the fed-
eral advance began.
When they were finally in action
the steel missiles tore up the ground
and passed through houses in the
American town 2s well as ploughed
up the turf protecting the rebels, who
gay their loss is light.
The hall of bullets from the federal
machine guns fell far within the con-
fines of the city of Douglas, It was
evident from the outset that the batile
was to be decisive. Both sides exhibit.
ed desperate courage.
House Passes Direct Vote Plan.
By a vote of 296 to 16, the house
passed the resolution providing for the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
Even these sixteen dissenters—
fifteen Republicans and Representa:
tive McDermott, of Chicago, a Demo
crat, would have voted for the resolu-
tion had the amendment offered by
Representative Young, of Michigan,
reserving to the federal government
the power to prescribe the manner of
holding elections and the qualifications
of voters been adopted.
This amendment was similar to the
one which was adopted in the senate
in the last session and resulted in the
er- | defeat of the resolution. It was veted
esting addresses may be expected. The election |
down, 190 to 121, and when it came to
a vote on the resolution itsell, Re-
publicans and Democrats alike almost
fell over one another in their efforts
to be recorded in favor of the propo-
sition.
The resolution confers the power to
prescribe details for the elections on
the state.
Taft at Double Drowning.
While galloping along the bridle
path in Potomac park at Washington
with Major Butt, his military aide,
President Taft narrowly missed wit-
nessing a double drowning.
The president and Major Butt were
near the river and, seeing several boys
running in that direction, the presi.
dent sent Major Butt to investigate.
A colored woman had thrown her boy
into the river and then jumped in her-
self. Both drowned.
The president, after Instructing Ma-
jor Butt to notify the police and thr
harbor master's office, remained on ti
scene until he police arrived.
Murderer Sentenced to Death.
The jury in the case of Frank
Heidemann, on trial at Freehold, N.
J., for the murder of Mary Smith,
ten years old, at Asbury Park on Nov.
9, returned a verdict of murder in the
first degree.
The jury deliberated one hour and
forty-five minutes. Justice W. P. Vooi-
hees immediately sentenced Heide
mann to death in the electric chair at
Trenton during the week commencing
May 22.
Heidemann was barely able to stand
up and wept bitterly when sentence

The Aeroplane In War.
The life of an aviator would not be
safe if he approached within 1000
yards of tie deck of a modern battle
ship.
This is an official deduction from |
recent experiments held at the last
target prac‘'ce on the southern drill
grounds off Cape Henry, Va, when a
team of bluecjackets from the battle-
ship Mississippi fired at a box kite. |
They used the service rifle. If the
three-inch guns of the torpedo defense
battery are used an aeroplane would
not be able to approach within 1000
vards of a battleship. During the re-
cent practice, however, it was impos-
gible to use the three-inch guns be-:
cause they couldn't be inclined at an
angle of elevation high enough to per-
mit firing at the kites.
The ordnance officers of the Missis-
sippl are concidering the necessary
modification of the gun mount for this
kind of atteck. It is probable that fur-
ther experiments will be held later,
at which the smaller caliber guns will
be tested in firing at box kites at dif-
ferent ranges.
Young Women Form Anti-Rat Society. |
The city of Allentown, Pa, is all

at a meetine of society girls who at-
tended a reception at the home of
Miss Florence Glose upon her invita-!
tion ior a gathering of “Ye Old Hens.” |
The young women formed them-|
selves into an anti-rat society, having |
come to the conclusion that the pres-!
ent mode of hairdressing is an abomli-'
nation. |
There was an essay on the “Art of |
Kissing,” presented by Miss Hattie |
Bittner, which formed the subject of
a discussion in which it is said ell
present took part

Quote Taft to Boost
Free List.
Democrats Show Wny Tariff Shooll be
Lowered.
—
Quoting President Taft in an effort
to show that the Republican policy of
a high protective tariff has proved a
failure, the Democrats brought into
the house, with a favorable report
from the committee on ways and
means, their “iarmers’ free list bill.”
The report on the bill, presented by
Representative Underwood, chairman
of the committee, is a merger of Dem-
ocratic political argument, based very
largely on the utterances of the presi-
dent, and an analysis of the proposed
exemptions irom duty.
The ieport shows that the free list
bill would reduce the tariff revenue
$10,016,495, based on the importations
for the last fiscal year, an amount de-
scribed as “inconsiderable in compar-
ison with ‘he great saving and advan-
tages to all of our people irom the ad-
ditions to the free list provided for.”
Quoting President Taft's recent Ca-
nadian reciprocity speeches, the report
seeks to convey the impression that
the adminis ration is convinced that
| protective tuvili rates are too high.
public addresses,” it
says, “he (the president) has admit!
“In several
ted that tariff rates are too high, that
such rates have resuited in excessive:
ly high prices, felt especially in the in- P:
creased cost of living, which now
bears heavily on our people, and that
they have not received the long-prom-
ised benefits of domestic competition
under high protective duties.”
The report takes up in detail the
classified list of articles included in
| the free list bill. Regarding agricul
| tural implements, it says their manu-
facture is controlled by trusts and
combinations that have sold in foreign
countries at lower prices than at
. home, building up their foreign trade
Fanatic Kills Lieutenant Rodney.
Lieutenant Walter II. Rodney, of!
the Second United States cavalry,
stationed in the Augur barracks in
the department of Mindanao, Philip.
pine Islands, was murdered by a Moro
Juramentado.
The native. crazed with religious
passion, ran amuck thirsting for the
blood of a Christian.
The assassin belongs to the Mo-
hammedan sect of Juramentados, who
have taken an oath to shed the blood
of the hated Christian. They know no
fear, believing that the performance
of what they consider a religious duty,
if resulting in their own death, will
be rewarded with eternal bliss.
The fanatic was armed with a bolo
and as he tore through the streets
those who saw him fled in terror. He
encountered Rodney, seemingly by
chance, and struck him down before
the officer could defend himself.
Lieutenant Rodney was a native of
California, and was thirty-two years
of age.
Ambassador Hill Resigns His Post.
Dr. David Jayne Hill, of Rochester,
N. Y., ambassador from the United
States to Germany, has resigned his
post. The resignation has been accept-
ed by President Taft.
Neither in Mr. Hill's letter of resig-
nation nor in the president's letter of
acceptance is any reason given for
the ambassador's action.
The president thanks Mr. Hill for
his services at Berlin and says that he
is glad to know that he will remain
there until July 1, when the resigna-
tion goes into effect,
While Ambassador Hill's resignation
was a great surprise to official Wash-
ington and to the diplomatic corps,
it is argued that the fact that he is to
remein at his post until July 1 indi-
cates that there was nothing urgent in
his action.
Deficit Instead of a Surplus.
Government finances have slipped
back over the line from surplus to de-
ficit. April, which began with a sur-
plus for the first time in the fiscal
year, now shows a deficit of some $4,
000,000.
Expenditures for the month have
been $2,000,000 greater than last year,
and receipts are $1,000,000 less for
the month. There seems to be also a
general drop in receipts from all
sources except the corporation tax.
