REFORMED CHURCH
IN NORTH AMERICA
GENERAL SYNOD HAS ARRANGED
FOR A NOTABLE PUBLIC MEET
ING TONIGHT IN NEW YORK.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, June 1.-THE general
synod of the Reformed Church in
America, which is in annual session
here, has arranged for a notable pub
lie meeting tonight in celebration of
the synod's centennial. The meeting
will be attended by fraternal delegates
from the Reformed Church in Holland
and from other ecclesiastical bodies in
this country. The principal speaker
will be Rev. DR.. James l. Vance of
Newark, representing the church in
the East, and Rev. G. H. Dubbink,
of Holland, Mich, who will speak for
the church in the West.
While this is the Tooth anniversary
of the synod, it is the 27Sth of the
church. Up to 1872 the church had
been subject to the ecclesiastical au-
thorities of Holland, but in that year
the American church was made indie
pendent and self-governing.
According to the annual report, the
Reformed Church has upwards of $50
churches, and total membership of
about 10000. The church has 100
missionaries in the foreign field and
maintain three theological seminaries,
two colleges and. numerous prepare
tory schools.
The church is strongest in and
about Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York and in the Middle West.
Gradually strong churches are grow
ing up in Iowa and even farther West,
while a missionary work of some ex-
tent is being carried on among the
colored people of the South.

indianapolis, Ind, June IA sur
prisingly large number of the dele
gates to the Democratic state conyen
ton in session here today are out
spoken in their support, of William j
Bryan. Many of them express the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan will be the
next Democratic nominee for presi
dent, or will name the nominee, and
they want Indiana to send a delega
ton to the national convention that
will have the Bryan stamp on 1t. The
staunchest representatives of the
Bryan. Many of them express the
terest opponents of the so-called Tag
CART machine" which is in control of
the party in this state. They feel that
so long as the Taggart faction re-
mains in control the Bryan element
will not have a chance to make much
Roadway. Interesting developments
along this line are looked for in the
movement to reorganize the commit
tee.
More than. thirteen hundred dele
gates and as many alternates filled
Tomlinson Hall when the convention
was called to order at 10 o'clock this
morning by w. H. O'Brien, chairman
of the state committee. After the Gus
tomary formalities had been disposed
of, Mr.. O'Brien handed the gavel to
BENJAMIN F. Shively of South Bend,
the permanent chairman of the con-
vention. Mr.. Shively's address was
the principal feature of the forenoon.
He spoke encouragingly of the Demo
cratic outlook in Indiana and dealt at
considerable length with the leading
issues, especially state issues. When
he had concluded, the convention APP
pointed the usual committees on res
olutions, nominations, etc, and a re-
cess was taken until afternoon to per
NIT the committees to prepare their
reports.
The convention will nominate full
state ticket with the exception of gov
ernor and lieutenant governor, which
offices are not to be filled this year.
Candidates for the principal places
have been agreed upon, and not much
difficulty is expected in making up the
ticket The resolutions will deal
principally with state questions after
devoting paragraph or two to the in
dorsement of the Democratic attitude
regarding the leading national issues.

SICKNESS IN PALESTINE.
More Cases Of Illness This Spring
Than In Former Years.

Physicians and druggists say there
are more cases of illness in Palestine
this spring than in former years. Per
haps there is not so much serious
sickness, but spring languor, loss of
appetite, headaches, sleeplessness and
backaches, weakness. debility, indiges-
tiop and other ills that result from
Indigestion or an overworked stom-
ach, are more common than they have
been for some years past
This has resulted in an unusual de-
mand for Mi-o-na stomach tablets at
the Bratton Drug Co. Before they felt
that they could recommend this rem.
edy, they tested it rigidly in many
aceses of heartburn, indigestion, wind
on the stomach, debility and other
troubles that result from a weakened
digestion, with the greatest success.
In fact, Mona has been so uniform
ly successful in curing all stomach
troubles that BrattOn gives a signed
guarantee with every so cent box to
refund the money If it does not cure.

Obituary..

Robert A. Caldwell was born in
North Carolina December 9th, 1888,
and died at the residence of NJ. P.
Gaines in Anderson county, Texas, on
the LIST day of June, 1906, age 70
years, five months and rs days. Mr..
Caldwell had lived about fourteen
years with Mr.. Gaines, who has
spared nothing in his hands to render
Mr.. Caldwell and wife comfortable
and contented. His wife dieu last
February. and they lie side by side
in Concord cemetery, eleven miles
northwest of Palestine. Both were
members of the Concord Baptist
church, and were noble patterns of
christian lives, always cheerful, but
humble and happy. He was sorely af-
fiicted with palsy for over fourteen
years, but bore his affection with
christian meekness and fortitude
The only song he ever was wont to
sing was Happy Day, When Jesus
Washed My Sins Away"
The community admires the general
and magnanimous benevolence of Mr..
Gaines in his devotion to Mr.. and
Mrs. Caldwell, as they had no rela
tives near to assist or console them in
their last days.
