Young Friends Association.

The Young Friends Association
of Rising Sun hold monthly meet
ings, the first Sunday in the month,
in the town hall, the hour of
meeting being 2:3O p. NJ.
Last Sunday was the regular
meeting day and the exercises were
interesting, as they always are.
When the roll of members is called
each answers to his or her name
and Frequently responds with an
appropriate sentiment. REGULATIONS
and papers prepared by the mem
bers follow, and remarks on the
same are invited.
There is generally a leading or
central subject introduced which
invites comment. Last Sunday +
R. Burlington gave brief discourse
on what might be termed the ascent
of man or pure Christianity, as
opposed to political, commercial,
militarism, and interpolated his re-
marks by quotations from an able
article by Presbyterian divine,
who claimed, and very justly too,
that the English savage war on the
Beers of South Africa was a poll
tician's war of commercialism.
And our war on the Filipinos is a
war of identical the same class.
The class of people who are driving
the two Christian nations into this
anti Christian warfare ON a weaker
people occupy the Mich in the
human family that the Scribes and
Pharisees fitted into two thousand
years ago, and were denounced as a
generation of vipers, and many
more hard epithets were showered
upon them which may be found in
the 23d chapter of Matthew.
The contrast of imperialism, mil
itarism and commercialism are sc
opposite to the nonresistance, anti
war spirit of the Friends doctrine
and practice that some of the mem
bers felt it necessary for self JUST
tieation to attempt to defend the
political commercialism and war OF
weaker people, as a Christian duty,
lest their politics and religion nigh
suffer by comparison. Their sue
cess in this respect proved that they
had gotten into the wrong demon
ination of Christians. Their views
of war and its methods of money
getting would not mate with thu
simple piety of the Friends any
better than Christ and Belief.

CAUGHT TAKING CORN
NeighbOrs March John Schafer and
Son to Police Head
quarters.

There was mild panic at the po-
lice station last evening when party
of heavy-handed citizens marched in
TO the place with John Schafer, of
South Rock Island, and his 14-year-
old son. and announced that they
had the corn thieves. There was
more surprise when the prisoners ad-
mitted their guilt and offered their
captors reasonable terms of settle
ment.
The John Schafer in qeustion was
no other than the one who formerly
conducted saloon on Market square
and who now owns valuable property
on that thoroughfare. He is at pres
ent living in a fine residence outside
of the city limits at the head of Thir-
ty-second street. One of his neigh
bors is William Maak, who has field
of corn which has not yet been harv-
ested. Recently Maak noticed that
his corn was disappearing and he
laid complaint with the police, stat
ing that he had seen man pass from
his field into the house inhabited By
Schafer. He was told to go home
and secure more tangible evidence
and his success was most complete
He organized some of his neighbors
into a watch party and last evening
after dark their vigils were rewarded
by finding the above pair with sack
gathering corn. The two We're taken
in charge and marched with consid-
cradle show to the station.
Schafer's story was that he had
ordered corn from a feed store for
delivery yesterday and it did not
come. Being adverse to seeing his
horses go hungry, he went out to
provide for them in the easiest man
ner, intending all the while to reim-
bursc the owner of the corn for what
he took. Maak did not wish to pros
ecute so long as Schafer was willing
to pay good round price for the
grain, so the police preferred charges
of disorderly conduct against the
prisoner and Magistrate Johnson
$50 would be about right.
