A UNION SERVICE
The Value of Habit of Church
Attendance

Simpson Tabernacle was largely at

tions joining in a union service. The
Rev. ]. Herndon Garnett, associate pas
tor of the First Baptist church, occu-
pied the pulpit, speaking from Luke.
4-16 his theme being 1.-THE Habit OF
Church Attendance"
No matter where Israel went, said the
preacher, they maintained their places Of
prayer and their places of assembly for
worship The text presents the habit
of Jesus Christ to assemble for worship.
Habits become fixed in our characters;
they seem to take hold of us and guide
us in our every act. There is this, first
"a good habit, which carries us beyond
the dead point. We go to church because
of habit, and we pray because of habit.
The habit of public worship must be
a very valuable one. The Christian era
has been characterized by open temples
and open homes where people assembled
for worship. Some people stay away
from church to read the newspapers.
saying they can mediate and worship
better at home than in the congregation.
The sacred influences and inspirations
OF the sanctuary CdililOL NC lOQHu clSc-
where; they unite kindred spirits In
mood of worship. that flows on forever
Jesus himself is present here to unite
us together in epirit and love. God for
bid that we should ever forsake the as
sembling of ourselves together in the
sanctuary.
The business of the church is not alone
to seek but to inspire men with hope and
show them that there ie kindred SYM
pathy that goes out to them. If you go
into the house of God and go away with
out benefits, reflect if your heart has not
been closed to the word and the spirit.
We must have the habit of church going
take hold of the child of today, or the
man of tomorrow will not be at church.
We should be able to say: To-day ID
this Scripture fulfilled in our hearts"
1t may not be as it was fulfilled to Christ
but with spirit of hope and good cheer
it must be factor in carrying us for
ward to final destiny where congrega-
tions never break up and Sabbaths never
end.

A Horrible Murder

MOUNT VERNON. ILL.,, April H.
Boys passing through some woodland
five miles northwest of the city today

public road leading from Mount Vernon
to Richview. They reported their dis
covery and a party was organized for
search for the body. 1t was found 200
yards from the spot where the head lay,
with the flesh stripped from the bones,
both the trunk and head being so badly
decomposed as to render recognition i'm

today went to prove that the body was
that of a woman who was in that local.
ity early last November She refused
to divulge her name. but said her home
was in Carmi, ILL.,. and that she was GO

SWINDLED DEPoSIToRs
Make Threats Against the Chicago
Bank President

CHICAGO, April 11.-Eight hundred
angry depositors in the Globe Savings
bank met today to protest against the
treatment they had received at the hands
Of c. w. Spalding, its president, and his
fellow officers, and to devise means for
rescuing If possible some portion of their
savings, which had been tied up by the

ITO - with Spalding and the rest of

room.
Counsel for the depositors will appear
in court tomorrow to institute criminal
proceedings against the bank officials.
President Spalding was located today
at the club house of the Calumet Heights
Gun club near South Chicago, just across
the state line in Indiana. He says he
was ordered to take a rest by his ply
sicians and was not in hiding as has been
stated, except that he wanted to recup-
crate and did not wish to be disturbed
1t is claimed that he has advised his
friends and those interested that the
funds and bonds of the University of
Illinois are all right and the institution
will not lose cent.
According to Charles r. Spalding, son
of President Spalding, the funds and
bonds of the university were not kept
as part of the assets of the bank Conse-
quently If the bonds are intact they can
not be divided among the depositors OF
the bank pro rata when the receiver is
authorized to pay the first installmen.
to the banks creditors. The university
will not be preferred creditor, accord
ing to the messages received from Pres
ident Spalding, because the bonds and
cash belonging to it never formed any
part Of the banks assets.

What Congress Will Do
This Week
REORGANIZATION SQUABBLE
MAY DELAY MORE IMPORTANT
MATTERS
Chairman Davis Has Faint Hopes of
Bringing the Arbitration
Treaty to a Vote
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE out
look for the week In the senate is so
much befogged by the situation with
reference to committee reorganization
that it Is impossible to forecast the pro-
ceedings with any degree of accuracy
There is a possibility that this question
may consume great deal of attention,
and If it is not satisfactorily disposed of,
1t may be used to prevent effort to Sc
cure action on important measures.
Aside from the matter of reorganiza-
ton there are more important questions
before the senate. These are the Nor
gan Cuban resolution, the bankruptcy
bill, the Anglo American Arbitration
treaty and the appropriation bills.
Senator Davis, chairman Of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said today
that he was hopeful Of securing con-
sideratlon for the treaty some time DUR
ing the continued absence of senator's.
Senator Davis refuses to make any pre-
dictions as to the result of the final vote,
or when that vote will be reached.
Senator Allison said when he present
ed the report of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill to the senate that he would
call 1t up this week. Senator Pettigrew,
who will have charge of the Indian bill,
has also stated that ne hopes TO take up
that bill. If the Democrats do not OBJ
ject on account of the incomplete con-
dition of the committees both bills will
probably be acted upon during the
week. Senator German is expected to
make a general attack upon the appro-
priations during the tendency Of these
measures.
Both Senators Hoar and Nelson are
very anxious to press the bankruptcy
bill to a vote but 1t will give way before
any Of the other measures mentioned.
IN THE HOUSE.
The house will continue it's program
of three days adjournment this week.
Jerry Simpson of Kansas will embar-
rass the majority as much as possible
by requiring a quorum to approve the
journal, but will have little aid from the
Democrats If the spirit of the resolution
adopted by the Democratic caucus yes
terday prevails. The policy of the house
leaders is at present inaction. but their
opportunities to harrass the Republicans
will be slight. 1t may be that owing
to the urgency of the case the leaders

Raise More Stock.

The farmers of this county should
pay more attention to the profitable
side Of their business if they would
prosper, and it ought to apparent
to them that in raising live stock
they will realize the largest profits
on the smallest investment. Al
though stock raising in this section
is now only carried on as a side
product of the farm, it brings
thousands of dollars into the coun-
ty every year. When it is made
the leading industry of the county
we will see our people more pros
porous than ever before.
Every inducement is held out
here to the enlargement Of this in
dustry. A large area of the coun-
ty is toorough and billy for c,l-
tivation, but affords the finest kind
of grsziny ranges; the climate, too,
is admirably adapted to the bust
ness, and the nearncss to the great
market city west of the Mississippi
an incs,imable advantage in our
favor. Corn that could find no
sale as grain could be fed to stock
and turned into meat at a good
profit. Therefore, we say to our
farmers, raise more and better
cattle and hogs, and they will find
farming pays rs we'll as a gold
mine on the Klondike.

THE Democrats are attributing
the better times to the large crops
with which the country has been
blessed this year and the large for
eign demand for wheat. 1t is not
altogether improbable that these
causes have had their influence in
the return Of prosperity, but it is
not fair to give them all the credit.
During the four years the Demo
cratic party was in power the
country had several good crop
years, but still that did not bring
good times. 1t is when you COM
binc good crops with Republican
rule, however, that general wave
Of prosperity sweeps over the land.

the question raised by the issuance
of court injunctions, and true to
the spirit of anarciiism and the sup
preston OF individual rights which
the Democratic party has recently
begun to foster, the party press is
inveighing against the injunctions
and ga government by the courts"
Let Us bring this question directly
home. Surprising short time
ago when our farmers were i'll the
midst of harvest Il lot of dissatisfied
harvest hands dropped their work
and banded themselves together
to forcibay prevent all further
operations ia the field until their
demands were accedel to. although
there were plenty Of hands who
were willing to garner the crops at
the wages offered, what course would
our farmer friends have pursued to
protect their rights and property!
They wouIdhaveresolvcdt themselves
into court for mutual protection
and issued shotgun injunction
against the strikers. 1t is such a
proposition which now confronts
the mine operators, only they do
not take law into their own hands.
Our Democratic friends are hand
ling dangerous material in thus
taking sides against our social safe
guards for vote making purposes.

Kick at the Critics.

Byron well said that every man
must serve his trade save critics
who're already made, and the road
overseers who have the task of
keeping our public highways in
condition can probably at the pres
ent time appreciate the truth of his
assertion.
1t seems there is a tendency
among our people to expect great
receipts from small investments,
like the little girl who went to buy
a new dress, hat and a pound of
candy with her six cents, and it
seems that our road overseers are
expected to make similar returns
for the pittance given them for
road purposes. This is unfair. 1t
is impossible to make good roads
without money to defray expenses,
and that desirable commodity is
something that ovcrseers see very
little of. Here in district No. IS
we know of roads that the entire
sum allowed, if expended thereon,
would not make good. Are we
kicking? No. To expect a man
to make all the roads in the dis
trict good by expending sum in
sufficient to repair one would be
the excellence of absurdity. If a
man was hired to hoe corn and
given handle to work with, he
would not destroy many weeds,
neither would it be just to criticise
him either privately, or publicly
through the columns of news
paper. Hoe handles will not cut
weeds, and empty pockets will im-
part no stimulus to road improve
ment.
When we look at the matter
philosophically and give its various
phases impartial consideration, we
discover that the overeer has very
just reasons for registering a kick
now and then himself, and he is a
marvel of patience for not doing
so. His methods in working are
criticised; the county's deficiencies
in not furnishing means to repair
