EDITOR AVALANCHE.
Allow me space in your valuable
paper to MAKE brief statement Of
affairs in Center Plains Township.
They can talk about the great ball
that was given by Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin, but / don't think that the peo-
pie, who were there, enjoyed them
selves any better than did the neigh
bors and friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
John A. Love, on the ed, there be-
ing about So, all told, and il you could
have seen the way Mr.. and Mrs. Love
had planned the affairs TOR the Oc-
casion, you would have been more
than surprised. Their house and
surroundings was in ample shape for
all that came, and more could have
been cared for, both friends and
teams. They can talk about sport
and fun, if we didn't have it, it was
our own fault, for the old and young
went in IS il 1t was their last chance,
but we hope not. The music began
at eight o'clock, and, oil, it would
fairly take your breath away, to see
the older ones set an example for the
younger.
At one o'clock supper was called,
add better table was never spread
for such an occasion. Oysters and
different varieties of cakes, cookies,
cheese, and pickles, and other nick
nacks. everything was just immense.
They all came to the conclusion that
Mrs. L. was the champion cook for
such an occasion. Well, OF course,
we cant leave John out entirely, for
he was around saying: "Every one
Dance" and every one did dance.
Then John says: Every one drinks"
and such cider, for this time of year,
never was drank before, it was just
grand, and the apples, we'll let every
one speak for themselves but they
filed the bill.
After supper the ball kept on roll
ing, unit Ill $40, when they all pro-
nounced 1t grand success. On our
departure we had strong invitation
to come again.
Now one word more as to the music.
Joe Metcalf and Fred Nichols, Joe
with his violin, and Fred with his
guitar, they are the boys that can
make 1t interesting at such time.
OF course, we don't want to slight
anyone Of the audience, so / will
mention the floor. manager Frank T.
Shafer, for Frank knows how that
part is done, and we enjoyed AL
Emory's Bumblebee, and other fue
pieces of music he played; AL likes
sport, and knows how to make IL.
The last words were: "Come again. I"
Long may they live and enjoy many
more such en- Entertainments.
ONE THAT WAS THERE.

The recent gains in gold by the big
banks in England, France and Ger
many and the case in the money
markets in those countries indicate
that gold importations from the
United States to Europe is not likely
to begin soon. This is a circum-
stance which is full OF encourage
ment for this country. The treasury
1t is true, is in better position, with
its sl45, 900, 900 Of reserve, to stand a
gold raid, than it has been as any
previous time in the past six years,
yet nothing of the sort need be looked
for at the present time. Aside from
the continuous revenue shortage, the
treasury situation is favorable, and
this constitutes a very important
factor in the general business situa-
ion.-Globe Democrat.

Gen. Bradley T. Johnson's impeach-
ment of the Cleveland administra-
ton is not soft one, either. When
he accuses the President of being in
league with Spain as against the
Cubans, and of betrayiug the ma
tional honor by giving aid and COM
fort to the enemies of the freedom
fighters it becomes much more serious
than a joke. Silence on the part OF
the administration is no answer To
such terrible arraignment. Detroit

paid no attention to natural boundaries
in the delimitation OF the frontier between
Turkey and Greece.
Starting on the Gulf of Salonca, just
south of Platomona, the line runs over Low
Olympus to Kokkino Petra, near Turnavo,
then turns south across and up the valley
of the Xeragi River to the Chassln hills
and on to Mount Lygos and the Pindus
and down the Arta. This gives Turkey a
good part of Thessaly and nearly all of
Epirus, whose natural eastern boundary
is the crest of the Pindu.. On the sides of
this conventional boundary line we find
the same rocks, the same trees and the
same landscape; the same people and the
same determination in their hearts,
handed down by their ancestors, to resist
Turkish rule and become free and united
nation.
In all OF Turkish Thessaly. the whole of
the kara-Su Valley up to Kastoria, all of
Epirus from above Konitza down to the
Gulf OF Arta, the people are all Greeks.
with few Gr@co- Latins on the west coast
opposite Corfu. There are no Mussulman
RESIDENTS IN the country except the
officials and soldiers.
1t Is among these people that the Greek
visitors nave made their appearance, and
they have doubtless found wild vel
come. The Janina country as we'll a.
that OF Mitsovo and Grevena swarms with
men who have been quietly armed by the
Greeks and will no doubt seize the first
opportunity TO join them in their guerilla
warfare so successful of old against tn g

HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEES.
Mcy Not Be Named BY Speaker Reed
Before the Regular Session Meets
in Dece nbec

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10.-Ofi-
GERS OF the army, navy and marine corps
need not expect that the regular commit
tees OF the House of Representatives will
pe named in season to permit OF legisla-
tIon IN which they are in terested being
considered before the regular session to
convene next December. Many members
OF the House have INDUCED the hope that
Speaker Reed would conclude to name the
usual com mittees and that certain general
legislation would be considered in the
course Of the present extra session. Con-
siderable pressure has been brought to
bear upon Mr.. Reed The Speaker, how
ever, is firmly of the opinion that he
should take DO such course. The reason
for the Republican mem bers of the House
wanting The committees appointed was
obvious. 1t appears majority of the
Democratic members have also argued
that the committees be announced.
Speeker Reed has regarded the argu-
ments of his political opponents as of
purely political nature, and this fact may
have influenced his final decision. o her
questions also affected his conclusions.
M-. Reed has not formally stated why he
will not announce the committees, but he
has said with considerable emphasis that
the appointment of committees need not
be expected at this session in time to per-
NIT OF any business being transacted by
them before adjournment.
1t is barely possible that circumstances
may arise that will induce the Speaker to
change his mind, but Judging from the
| present outlook, and basing the remsrk
| upon the opinions of many members of
the. House expressed this week, it is not
probable. The Speakers plan is TO ap-
point The usual committees shortly before
the extra session adjourns. This will
likely be about the END OF June, as the
consensus of opinion among Congress-
men is that an adjournment will take
place between the Ist and the 18th OF
| July.

present at each conversation, and Wilson
came back twice afterward. The last time
he urged Gaines to get the men to absent
themselves If they would not vote for
Hunter.
DR.. Hunter denies that he ever saw
Gaines or Tanner or that he ever dreamed
of bribing ANYBODY.
Wilson says that Gaines sent Elm word
that he could get three votes for Hunter
for SIS, 600 each. He went to see Gaines,
but got no satisfaction, and never
promised him any money. Afterward, he
says. Gaines told him that he must have
$1,000 or he would put Hunter in stripes.
Wilson says he is now convinced that this
was scheme to ruin Hunter.
The announcement of the charges Gre
ated intense excitement to-day and prob
ably prevented Hunters election. The
Gold Democrats joined with the sllverites
to prevent quorum and only Hunter
men were present. All voted for their
nominees for two ballots, 81 votes being
cast for him and 1 for Boyle. Then the
joint session adjourned.
During the GSl of the roll the galleries
were packed and a row sprung up be-
tween Tom Morrow, a nephew of Gov
ernor Bradley, and Peter Sanders, Hun
down, cutting him over the eye. The
rolIcall had to be suspended until the
sergeant-at-a could make arrests.
Wilson Will be summoned with Hunter

a charge that Colonel Nunez had violated

ashore from a foreign ship to which a

LONDON, Eng, April 1O-The wild
speculation in seats from which to view
the Queens jubilee procession has become
perfect craze. 1t requires little calcula-
ton to show at the prevailing prices the
paying spectators on Jubilee day are ex-
pected to spend in the aggregate of about
$50, 900 for the privilege of seeing the
show. This is simply absurd and points
to the inevitable collapse OF the insane
gamble before the fete day arrives.
Wise ones who have premises along the
route are pocketing the immense fees now
offered by speculators. The highest price
paid thus far is S125, 600 for large ware
house, literally more than the value of
the building. Two of the richest Dukes,
Westminster and Devonshire, had offers
o + $50 600 apiece for the use of their town
mansions on Jubilee day. The offers were
not entertained. Five thousand dollars
has been paid for rooms in ST. James
