Some time Sunday evening the
jewelry store of Fl. B. Lund was
robbed and sixteen watches valued at
about $50, were taken. The work
was evidently done by some one
thoroughly familiar with the premises
and the fact that the goods we're left
in the show case over night. Access
was gained by the rear door, q glass
of which had been broken sometime
previous and!covered with a thin board.
This board was removed easily and
the fastening being in reach, an en-
trance was easily effected. Mr..
Kreuger the druggist sleeps in his
store, and in his opinion the robbery
was committed in the evening before
he retired. There is no clue as yetto
the identity of the burglars, but it is
thought to be the work of an amateur,

that If he can be assured of a reason
ably liberal patronage, he will come
to Morris and arrange for classes in
vocal and instrumental music. We
certainly hope generous support
will be accorded him, as the services
of SO competent an instructor are of
the greatest advantage. and all that
tends to promote q knowledge of
music, creates taste for this sublime
science, advances the proficiency and
develops latent talent, is public
benefit, and we would urge our citi-
zens to give cordial support to the
proposed undertaking and extend to
Prof. Chase not only hearty welcome
but liberal patronage. We believe
it will contribute TO the elevation of
refined tastes and be productive Of
substantial benefits, as his work at
Hancock was q revelation to those
who heard the fine vocal music of
his class, or listened to the excellent
performance of the orchestra under
his leadership. We would ask the

in the advancement of higher tastes,
and hope parents, and all others inr

caeap Fuel.

One of the advantages in coming
to Morris to trade, is the fact that
competition has advanced the price
of all products to the highest point,
and reduced the prices on all lines of
merchandise to the real bargain notch.
In no particular, however, is there q
greater difference in favor of Morris,
over competing point, than in the
price of fuel, wood especially. Owing
to transportation facilities, we are
enabled to offer extra inducements on
wood, and in addition to this the
dealers have cut margins SO as to
make the iducements extraordinary.
A war is now on between the wood
dealers, and farmers should hasten to
take advantage of the very low prices
now prevailing. Hard, dry maple
wood is being sold a A per cord, and
hence it is good time TO lay in a
winter stock. Many farmers from a
distance are taking advantage of the
big cut to draw in their wheat here
and purchase wood for a return load.

studied for the Presbyterian ministry.
In 1906 Prof. Swing accepted the pastorate Of
the Westminster Presbyterian church in this

great flre Of 1871 which not only swept away
his church, but all his personal belongings
leaving him with nothing but the clothes on hii

A Young Lady BalloOniSt Drops 1900
Feet and Is Dashed to Pieces.
BUFFALO, NY, Oct. 8. S.-Beatrice Won
Dresden, the young lady balloonist,
made an ascension on the Franklinville
fair grounds Saturday at o'clock, and
when over 800 feet from the earth she
fell from the balloon and was instantly
killed.
She was native Of Buffalo. In re-
cent years, however, her home has been
in Frankfort, KY. She has been pro-
fessiopal aeronaut for three years and
in that time has made twenty ascen-
sions. She had just passed her nth
year. The wind was blowing rather
strongly and she was advised not to
make the ascension. Her father and
mother who were present tried to dis
snade her, but she declared that she
would not disappoint her hundreds Of
old friends and the balloon was re-
leased from the moorings.
At height Of about 1000 feet the
crowd below observed that Miss Won
Dresden was preparing to make her
parachute jump. She appeared at the
side of the basket trying to unfasten
the parachute which was attached to
the balloon. In some way she lost her
hold Of both the balloon and the para
chute and her body came whirling to
the ground. The body struck within
the fair grounds and was imbedded
nearly foot in the ground. The girl
was dead when the people reached her.

SETTLED AT LAST.


The PennsylvanIa Supreme Court Decides
as to the Ownership of 21O Churches.
PITTsBURG, Oct. 2.-In the supreme
court of Pennsylvania, which met in
annual session here yesterday, JusticeI
Williamsrendered an opinion reversing
the Berks county court and granting
Rev. Augustus Krecker and others an,
injunction against Rev. Jones Ii. Shirey
and others The case was a dispute
over chufch property, growing out OF
the celebrated split in the Evangelical
association at the time that Bishops
Dnbs, Esher and Bowman were sus-
pended from their offices. The court
reviews the case and finds that the last
conference at Indianapolis was the le-
gitimate ruling power of the church
and that the Eastern Pennsylvania
conference was an illegally constituted
and rebellious body. The property in
question is the Emmanuel church at
Reading. The court rules on seven
different points regarding the trouble
MS sfollows:
"First, that the general conference
of 1891, was the regular successor OF
that of 1887; second, that the alleged
general conference that met in Phila-
delphia in 1891 was an unauthorized
body and its assumption of ecclesiasti-
cal authority was an act of rebellion;
third, that those conferences, congre-
cations and church members that ad-
here to the general conference consti-
tute the Evangelical association; fourth,
! that those who adhere to the Philadel-
phia conference are an nindependentand
hostile association; fifth, that the prop
erty which prior to 1891 belonged to
the Evangelical association now be-
longs to that body; sixth, the assign
ment of the plaintiff, Kreicker, to the
pastorate of Emmanuel church having
been made by provisional body gave
him no title of enforcement, but his
subsequent ratification by the general
conference gave him title under the
law of the church and therefore under
The law of the land.
Seventh, the assignment of the de-
fendant, Shirey, to the same pastorate
by an illegally organized conference OF
east Pennsylvania has no title capable
of enforcement under the law of the
land against the Evangelical associa-
tion or its adherents."
The decree of the lower court is re
versed and an injunction is ordered tc
restrain the defendants from exercising
control over Emanuel church and from
excluding the plaintiff from the pulpit
of the church The costs are also
placed upon the defendants. This de
cision settles the ownership of 21'
churches in Pennsylvania.
