SOCIETY OF FRIENDS
MAKE WAR ON WHISKY

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct 2S.-The years
meeting of the Society of Friends yester-
day, at their closing session. issued the fol-
lowing call TO all the Christian churches:
'To the Various Christian Bodies in
the United States: Dear Brethren IN
Christ-We are confident in the belief tnar
the coneensus of opinion of the profess
ing Christians of our land is opposed to
the evils of the liquor traffic, and we find
a want OF cooperation in practical effort
to give effect to this opposition, because
none of the propositions heretofore made
has met the approval OF the general judy
ment of Christian people. We recognize
that this is the case in our own body and
we believe 1t is likewise true Of others
AS a result, the church exerts far less in
rluence than it should, to prevent the
evils produced by this great cause OF
poverty and crime. and which is also, a
most serious obstacle tolthe spread OF the
gospel. We are deeply impressed with
the conviction that an earnest enorc
should be made to ascertain in what way
Christians can exert united influence
in this cause and by what means they
may work together.
I'VE, therefore, invite the governing
bodies of the various denominations Of
Christians in the United States to appoint
delegates to represent them in a confer
ence to be held In the city of Washing
ton to begin on the second Wednesday
of March, in the year 1906. The decisions
of this conference should be reached only
in practical unanimity and therefore 1t is
unnecessary to indicate any limit to the
proposed representation.
Believing that this proposition will
meet with your approval ana practical
cooperation we have appointed James
Wood, of Mount Kisco, ~. Y; Rufus NJ
Jones. OF Haverford. Pa; Timothy Mich
olson. Richmond. Ind; Benjamin F. True
blood, Boston, Mass, and Edmund Stan
ley, Wichita, Kan, with one additional
delegate from each of eleven yearly
meetings to represent us at the confer
ence.
I'm the faith and love of Jesus Christ,
we are your friends.
(Signed) EDMUND STANLEY.
Presiding Clerk.

VET FINDS COMRADE
AFTER 81 YEARS.
SEARCH
THEY FOUGHT TOGETHER BRAVE
LYAT JoNEsBoRo AND HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO FIND
EACH OTHER.

MACON. Ca. Oct. ga letter was re-
ceived in Macon yesterday that contained
a greeting from a Confederate veteran
in Rosser. Ala. to another in Macon. The
two had been looking for each other for
the past 81 years and had not been able to
locate each other until a few days ago.
The two men are c. p. Roberts. of
Macon, and ]. A. Dawson. of Rosser,
Ala. The mutual discovery was made in
this way:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Dawson sent
a letter TO a Georgia, paper which gave
a vivid portrayal of how the union battle
flag was seen in the thick of the fight at
Jonesboro and how a gallant southern
youth, named c. p. Roberts. made a dash
for IT, and was not expected to be seen
alive again. The paper ended by asking
If any one could give any information
about the man who made the heroic at
tempt TO take the flag and was himself
captured.
Judge A. L. Miller saw the letter and at
once called the attention of Mr.. Roberts,
who wrote to his friend, asking him to
attend the reunion at Columbus. A reply
was yesterday received, which was in
part as follows:
rs it possible that you are still among
the living and J have at last located
you? / can hardly realize IL. Wish 1
could tell you how much have felt since
the receipt Of your letter yesterday. 1t
would give me much pleasure to attend
the annual reunion at Columbus which
you suggest. 1 can think of nothing that
would give me more pleasure than to
make the trip"
Mr.. Roberts tells an interesting story
not known to his friend how. after he was
captured and was being sent northward
through Tennessee to be imprisoned on
Johnson's Island, he leaped from a NOV
ing train and took to the woods, making
his escape while shots were being fired
from the rear at every step.
