Durango and The Pig.

Partly because he wanted to return
a small favor and partly because
he was hungry for hog meat, Charles
Durango, a renter on one of the Eaton
farms. about twelve miles northwest
of this city, on the night of Dec. 8
went to the barn yard of David
Emory, a neighbor and drove home
a fat pig. He shot the animal and
then performed the somewhat re-
markable task of taking the skin off
the pig. Next at O'Clock in the
morning he delivered one quarter of
the pork to John Battels, a colored
man, who had performed some slight
errand for him, which he desired to
reward.
The next morning the telltale pig
skin found by Mr.. Emory, and the
negro's story of the gift confirmed the
suspicion. Durango was found guilty
in the district court Thursday morn

Musical Treat.

The cantata Bethlehem" was
given last Thursday evening by the
Methodist church choir, assisted by
other choirs of the city, and under
the direction of Miss Phyllis Wolfe.
The program also included several
speciality numbers by the best local
talent. The entire entertainment
was given with artistic skill, and
reflected considerable credit ON the
leader and her able assistants.
Mrs. d. E. Carpenter opened the pro-
gram with piano solo, which was
much appreciated. Following this
Miss Lucy Delbridge gave violin solo
in her usual delightful and artistic
manner, and was greeted with hearty
applause.
Then came the cantata, opening
with the unison bass solo, In the
Beginning" Those taking solo parts
were Mrs. March, Mrs. Starkey, Miss
Coles, Miss Chappelow, Miss Sulli-
van, Mrs. Rue, Mr.. Starkey and Mr..
Coles. Each and all sang in most
praise worthy manner that indicated
hard and earnest preparation. The
choruses, too, were no small features
OF the program, and the hearty en-
thusiastic way in which they were
sung, not only reflected much credit
upon the leader, but upon each
individual in the chorus.
AT the conclusion of the cantata,
Miss Wolfe sang, 'Bethlehem's
Guiding STAR in most effective
manner. With her beautiful soprano
voice, coupled with her admirable
style of enunciation and expression,
she is fast becoming a favorite be-
fore Greeley audiences.

chairman of the executive board of
the Rural Letter Carriers associa-

member of the board were dis
charged for illegal participation in a
movement to aid the election of con-

The chief complainant against the
carriers is Congressman Jesse Over

increase of pay to the carriers and
the officials of rural and city car

The report on the investigation
points out that Neyin's plan was
that rural carriers in each state
should look into the question of
supporting the candidates for cleo
tion or reelection to congress
in their state and to such of
these candidates as proved true
to the carriers, the association
would pledge its support for any
political honors sought in the partic-
ular state. Some letters which the
department now has on file indicate
that the carriers have outlined plan
which they expected would effect i'm
portant results in favor of their
cause, and set out that the associa-
tion must be free from entanglements
with any particular political party
and must select fol their support
such men, regardless of party, as
were most friendly to their inter-

operation That Will Event
ually Mean Union of

York Times, of the details of the
plan whereby it is hoped to bring
all the religious bodies of the United
States having Presbyterian form of
government into one organization,

union, shall afford basis for CO.
operative work that has not before
existed. The plan provides for the
organization of federal council of
the reformed churches in the United
States of America, holding the Pres
byterian system.
This plan of federation, if car
ried out, would bring into one organ
ization the 100000 or more mem
bers of Presbyterian and reformed
churches, and will be made public
this week in order that it may he
thoroughly discussed and acted upon
in the synods and assemblies of the
various bodies next spring. The aim
is to secure the approval of the var
ious supreme judiciaries to a general
plan and have the committees con-
tinued and instructed to prepare
definite plan for adoption year
hence.
1t is provided in the plan. con-
tinues the Times, that the churches
joining the federation shall preserve
the individualities of their creeds,
forms Of government and worship,
and every right, power and privilege
not specifically conferred on the fed
eral council.
The representation Of the various
churches in the council shall be reg
ulated by the number of communi-
cants in the affiliated bodies, on the
basis of four representatives for each
100, 900 communicates up to 300, 600
and four additional representatives of
each additional 200, 200 communi-
cants.
On this basis the Presbyterian
church (north) with its 0,OSs
members would have "A representa-
tives in the council, the Presbyterian
church (south) and the German Re-
formed churches would have eight
representatives each, and of the other
| bodies officially represented at the
Pittsburg meeting, the Dutch Re-
| formed, the Reformed PRESBYTERIAN
general synod, the United Presbyter-
ian and the Cumberland Presbyterian
would have four representatives each,
making in all a membership of SO In
the council. Other Presbyterian
bodies believed likely to join include
the Christian Reformed. the Asso-
ciated Reformed synod of the south,
the Reformed Presbyterian church
syond and the Welsh Calvinistic,
which would add four representatives
each to the council.
1t is provided in the plan of fed
Grafton that the council shall have
power to deal with differences which
may arise among the several churches
of the federation in regard to matters
within the jurisdiction of the council
which the constituted agencies OF
the churches concerned have been
unable to settle and which shall
thereafter be referred by the supreme
jurisdiction of the churches of the
council.
