missionary who recently resigned as sa

stands greatly in need. It was not
successful.

consented to a six-day armistice here, a
measure which will enable the obtain

women and children in Tabriz clamor-

Mrs. Barah Derstine, remained here
until death came to her relief. Mr.
Derstine left Centre Hall in 1883, and
since has been located in the city men-

of young men from this town who live
in the prosperous Illinois city and,
like the city, are also prospering. Mr.
Derstine was an appreatice in the
Marray carriage shops, and on com-
pleting his trade, found employment
in one of the large shops in Freeport,

one or more times. He is an expert

not only the perpetrators of that

similar ones. As the tree Is bent so

because, as a rule, it is a crime of less

means of avoiding punishment, even
to the extent of inducing officials to

Bome Turtles,
An Eschol eorrespondent to the
Perry County Democrat says that
while Aaron Bweger and Willlam
Burrell were fishing in the creek on
the Adams farm they discovered a
turtle on the water's edge. It crawled
into a hole in the bank of the creek.
Procuring a shovel the men dug into
he bank and discovered a nest of tur-
ties numbering 103 good sized turtles,
which filled two large bags. They
got a bucket full »f turtle eggs.
