Sunnyside.

Our Sunday school will be reorgan-
lied May 1st at $50 p. IN. This school
was organized about twenty years
ago, at which time the school was
small but through the efficient work
of its officers and teachers it has
grown quite large and interesting.
The courteous treatment which is
lavished upon strangers and visitors
who come among us has contributed
largely, no doubt to its growth. The
straightforward manner in which
the election of officers has been con-
Quoted has had something to do with
its growth also. Numbers of children
have been brought into the school,
and through the work done there with
in the past twenty years, many of
them have been brought into the
church. Some, more advanced in year
who did have such advantages in their
youth, have through a limited atten-
dance been enlightened and taught
the way we should go. Since we have
had a rest through the winter months
and are better prepared for more
thorough work than ever before let
US get back to duty and see what we
can continue to accomplish in this
good cause.

Oakland Normal, in STARTERS Opera

physiology and hygiene which was
quite instructive and opened up new
channels of study for those who take
an interest in this class of work. The
doctor impressed his hearers very
forcibly. His arguments were well
based and being one of the best ply
sicians in the country his talk was
quite a treat for those who had the
pleasure of hearing him.

within the school which is differed as
follows: President, Mr.. j. s. Gnegy;
vice president, Prof. George B. Fra
zee; secretary, Miss Emma Hamill;

TO run newspaper without occa-
sionally publishing an item that is I'M
true or giving offence, is like running
a railroad without having any acct
dents or smash-ups. 1t can't be done.
No man on earth is so much imposed
upon as the editor of a newspaper.
Pushed with work continually, he
must rely on second and third parties
for information as to the events that
transpire. Frequently statements
are received from sources which are
thought to be reliable, but which are
subsequently discovered to be with,
out foundation.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
A Pair of Tramps Trapped While RObbing
a Store at Mt. Lake Park.

A Pair of Tramps Trapped While RObbing
Store at Mt. Lake Park.
Monday morning about 1890 o'clock
a young man named Charles Martin,
residing at Mountain Lake Park, was
passing in front of Mrs. J. L. Pierce's
store in the above named town when
his attention was attracted by flaring
lights in the building. Upon making
there were two men on the inside and
were engaged in making a selection
of goods from the shelves and coun-
tiers preparatory to carrying them off.
The light was made by the men burn
ing matches. AS soon as Martin
made the discovery he ran to the res
idence of Mrs. Pierce and aroused her
clerk, Mr.. Philip Golf, and he in com
pany with two or three other men and
Constable Echard, returned to the
store where they placed themselves at
points of vantage to capture the men
should they make break to escape.
Mr.. Golf was armed with shot
gun, one load of which he let drive
through the door and shot one of the
tramps through the leg. They at
once surrendered and were placed UNI
der arrest by the constable, who
brought them to Oakland and placed
them in charge of Sheriff Lee.
The tramps effected their entrance
to the store by hurting a stone
through one of the large front win
dows, SCATTERING the glass to frag-
ments.
Tuesday the two prisoners were
taken before Justice Sincell for a pre-
liminary hearing where it was learn
ed their names are Robert Moore and
Garrett Halterman. They waived a
hearing and were again committed to
Jail where they will remain until the
charges against them are disposed of
by the grand jury at the September
term of the circuit court.

would be far greater than it is.

Value of Good Roads.

The office of the road inquiry Of the
agricultural department has just is-
sued small booklet compiled by the
League of American Wheelmen, enti-
tied Must the Farmer Pay for Good
Roads?" It contains much food for
thought to those who travel the coun-
try roads and haul loads Of produce,
over them. It is well illustrated with
Photographic reproductions showing
the conditions of some of our own
roads and some French and other for
eign roads, over which enormous. loads
are hauled, notwithstanding the clum-
sy vehicles used. The League Of Ann
erican Wheelmen is a powerful organ
ization, consisting of over a hundred
thousand members, who are. ain of
course enthusiastic on the subject IT
good roads. AS the demand for COOL
roads becomes stronger. the opinion is
becoming more widely held that the
farmer should not be compelled to bear
the burden of taxation for their i'm
provement. AS roads are for the pub
lie use, the use of all citizens, whether
countryman or townsman, all should
hear the cost Of their maintenance, and
the taxes should be equally distrb-
nted

HE WON SOLELY ON HIS NERVE

HE WON SOLELY ON HIS NERVE
Buckst-shop Man Wont tho Limit OF
Impudence.
"Nerve is the thing that WINS" said
the Board OF Trade man to his COM
panions at the club. "A man may have
money, friends and influence, but IL he
lacks that sublime quality he is shy
the biggest card in the deck. Look at
the case of that man who went out Of
here just now. There is no one in
town who lives better than he does and
his Investments furnish him the coin
to pay for all he wants without ever
drawing on the principal. A few years
ago he was worse than broke. He
didn't have dollar or a friend-in
fact his sole capital consisted of his
nerve and bad reputation, and on the
strength of that he started bucket
shop. In building close to the Board
of Trade he found an Office furnished
for the business where another shop
had failed, and he put up stiff front
and leased it until the LIST of May. 1t
was then the middle of the month, so
he got it rent free for the first two
weeks He ordered ticker put in and
hired boy to mark the blackboard.
as he did not have to pay for either
service until the end of the week, and
then he opened for business. People
began coming in to look at the quota
lions, and after while one man came
up to the desk with SO and bought
1000 wheat. The market went right
up and after there was cent bushel
profit in the deal the customer came
to the window to cash his ticket. This
might seem like an awkward situation.
but his beautiful nerve never failed.
He sized up his customer, and instead
of springing any four flush about
partner who had gone to the bank or
anything Of that kind he just said
quietly: Here is the ten you put up.
Now l haven't another dollar in the
house, but if you will just go and sit
down and look wise and happy like
man who has beat the game. why as
soon as anybody else takes whirl at,
it I'll give you your other ten out OF
what he puts up, but If you start roar
ing about being robbed no one else
will go against the game and I don't
see how you will get your ten Well,
the customer was staggered, but he
saw it was worth $40 for him to keep
still, and so he waited. Pretty soon
another sucker tried to beat the stock
market and backed his judgment with
$40. The first man didn't wait long
to get his coin and then he stayed
there the rest of the day to see how
the thing came out. The market
broke and nearly everyone who made
a trade was on the wrong side, so the
shop quit little to the good that
night, and it was steady winner from
that time on until the grand jury be-
gan to make things hot. Then he
closed the place and has done nothing
since but live on his income, and it is
a big one too
