There ia no doubt but the gypsy moth
has made its hateful appearance in this
State, near the New Hampshire line.
They are mostly found now on the apple
trees. Should they get into our dense
forests they would cause immense loss

Previously to moving to their present
place of residence on Water street the
family had lived in an upstairs tene-
ment in the home of Rufus II. Town
send on Winter street and during that
time Miss Gertrude Townsend, teacher
in the Lincoln building, had become
greatly attached to the child. Hearing
of the illness and under the impression
that it was tonsilits she visited the
Reynolds home and saw the little one
on Monday and called at the house
again on Tuesday, but did not at the
latter visit see the patient. he did not
again visit the Reynolds home. After
learning that the disease had proved TO
diphtheria Miss Townsend conferred
with the officers of the public schools
and they with the health officer, and it
was thought best to close her school
during the present week which is the
last of the term. This portion of the
incident is here stated with more ella
boration than would usually be Leces
sary from the fact that ii has been re.
ported that Miss Townsend went to tho
home of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds during
the illness of their child, after she knew
that the case was diphtheria, and that
she was there again on Friday, after the
death of the little one, but we are as
sured on undoubted authority that this
was not the case.
Mr. and Mira Reynolds have the
sympathy of the entire community in
the loss of the little one, being their
only child and the circumstances being
otherwise especially sad. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that no further cases will
result but this cannot be told until after
period of ten days has passed.

The REPORTER has awaited some
action of the above nature in our town
for many weeks, as it has been apparent
to nearly all of our citizens that not
only two but many places we're putting
out the ardent" gnardedly. We trust
these search and seizures were made
with the intent of putting a stop to the
sale of liquor in our town-but unless
something further is done not only in
this town but in at least a dozen places
in the county, our faith Will surely be

The Secretary weighed his words care
fully and said: "It's like this: John Snure

Moines Register and Leader, has been firing
reports from Washington to Des Moines that
had ouarrelled with the President, that we
were not on good te rms, that there was
friction or whatever you may call it. l put
into my reply to the Lincoln Club at Daven-
port the statement that i had consulted
with the President for the purpose of show
ing that I was not on bad terms with the
President and that we had not quarrelledS
Then you do not come bringing a meg
sage from the President?'
SNo, my consultation with the President
was simply as to the advisability Of breaking
enga gements and to tell him where l was
going"

reply to the secretary Of the Iowa Repub-
lican central committee, asking whether
he sent, through Secretary Shaw, a message

telegram through Secretary Loeb:
Secretary Shaw's visit to Davenport is,
Of course. on his own responsibility. The
President has sent no message through
anybody to iowa Republicans and has not
interfered, is not now interfering and will
not interfere in the Iowa fractional contest
nor in tina Of any other State"

Los ANGELES, CAL, June 13.-Howard
w. Throckmorton, business manager and
companion for G. c.. Boldt, son Of the
proprietor Of the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, was held up and stabbed last night by
! two Mexicans in front Of the Santa Fe rail-
road station. He shot either or both Of the
men as they ran, he thinks.
Throckmorton left the Angus, where with
young Boldt he had made his headquarters
for some months while out West hunting
and recuperating, and boarded a trolley
car, telling the hotel clerk that he intended
to mail two import mt letters in person at

toward him from behind a lumber pile
opposite the station and ordered him to

Policeman Mcmillan, refused to give up
and reached for his revolver. One OF the
Mexicans plunged a knife into his side and
both broke away. T~hrookmorton fred

away, however. He rushed into the station
and found the policeman and railroad en-
ployees, who brought a surgeon imme-
diately.
Throokmorton made up his mind; on the
surgeons assurance, that it would be safe
to GO to San Diego at once, and he was
taken aboard the 1870 train, a physician
accompanying him. 1t was supposed that
he would join Boldt at Coronado, where he is
on his honeymoon. Throckmorton left
word that he would be back in a few days.
A few days ago Throckmorton was best
man for Boldt when he married Estelle
Savin, daughter of a ourio dealer at Tia
Juana, whom both men met while buying
souvenir cards in the Mexican border town.

OF the world.
In expressing our grateful appreciation Of
your interest I'm our work we beg to assure you

material interests Of the nation.
That you may constantly have the divine
guidance and blessing ls our ~fervent prayer.
On behalf of the general synod.
DONALD SAGE MAcKAY,

that il has had before 1t in one form or
another for the past eight years.

on the divorce situation, declaring in reso-
luton it's sympathy with the movement
ing pastors to Use great care in performing
Questionable marriages.
The synod voted to meet next year in the
historic First Reformed Church OF Albany.

and traders at Fort Orange. Adjournment

evening il the Roster case E ended.
