WAS MUCH ENJOYED
Session of Nebraska Synod Held
Here Last Week.

The Synod of Nebraska, represent
ing the United Presbyterian churches
of Nebraska and Colorado held its
annual session in the Greeley o. P,
church from Tuesday evening OF last
week to the following Thursday af
ternoon. 1t was fairly we'll repre-
sented by clergymen and laymen and
the gathering was prolific Of much
good, while from social stand
point it was one of the pleasantest
meetings held in Greeley in years.
The ladies OF the parish did all in
their power to make the visitors feel
at home, and succeeded. Toward
that end they served meals daily in
the lecture room Of the church, which
tended to make all in attendance feel
like members OF a family reunion.
One Of the principal acts Of the
synod was the selection of moder-
ator for the year, that honor being
conferred on the Rev. o. A. Petty of
this city. Mr.. Petty is the youngest
pastor in the presbytery. He was
born in CadIZ, Ohio, 1874: was grad
uated from the Muskingham, Ohio,
college in 1898 and in 1901 he was
graduated from the Allegheny 1heo-
logical seminary, Allegheny, Pa; was
ordained minister of the gospel and
that fall came to this city in response
to call from the members of the
United Presbyterian church.
The next year he married love
able woman in Illinois, then returned
to this city. Mr. and Mrs. Petty
are highly esteemed bv all. He is a
fine, manly man, extremely liberal
in his views, while as pulpit orator
he has no superior in Greeley. as he
possesses magnetism that compels
attention, especially among the young
people. Mrs. Petty has made friends
on all sides in her residence here
and she is great aid to her husband
in his ministerial work.

THE DREYFUs COMMISSION
Expected to Report This Week on
Reopenine the Case.

Paris, Nov. 30.-The general belief
prevails in well-informed circles that
the commission appointed to pro-
nounce upon the admissibility of the
request of Alfred Dreyfus for a judi
caI revision of his case, will submit
it's conclusions to the minister of JUS
tice certainly within a week and some
persons say before the end of the pres
ent week. NJ. MERCER, a director of
the ministry of justice and d member
OF the commission, says the commits
sion has not yet assembled and that
he has no knowledge of the contents
of the documents to be examined.
THE commission" Nj. MERCER adds,
proposes to take all the time neces-
sary to deal with sucl, an important
question, but its conclusions will not
ha final. They may be- accepted or
may not be accepted by the minister,
of Justice
In this connection it is recalled that
the first consultative commission
charged to examine the petition pre-
scented by Madame Dreyfus in the
name of her husband. then a prisoner
at Devils Island, recommended against
overruled this. which is considered a
precedent for like action in the present
development, by Minister Vile, who
some time ago went so far as to say
that the policy of the government had
already been made up, and was favor
able to Dreyfus, whatever the con-
clusions of the commission, though the
officials expect them to support the
Dreyfus petition
In consequence of the agitation fol-
lowing the action taken in the Drey-
fus affair, the government has allowed
the publication of the declaration made
ut the last meeting of the council by
NJ. Vale, the minister of justice. The
minister communicated to his col
leagues the contents of the dossier and
the result of the examination made by
War Minister Andre and himself.
Deputy Congy. Republicans Socialist,

Premier Ross of Ontario Opposes Reel
procity with the States.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 30.-In a speech
before the Canadian Club, this after
noon. Hon. G.. w. Ross. premier of
Ontario. said, among other things:
The most entangling alliance at this
time would be a reciprocity treaty with
the United States. There had been
such a treaty. 1t had been annulled
because it had not satisfied the Amer
leans and a new one would sooner or
later meet the same fate.
Il believe in establishing trade with
Britain which would be permanent
do not believe in making our trade at
tho mercy of Congress or of any for
eign country. We can get all we want
from the United States without
treaty. If the United States wanted
Canadian products they would take off
the duty. 1t is as simply as A, B, c. If
they are anxious for reciprocity, let
them take down their tariff wall"

said that the Trust Company of the
Republic to the extent that it had been

to sell and convey property for that

so, the power and authority to do so
