PLANS FOR GLASS DAY
NEARING COMPLETION.
Instructions for Seating of Guests at Academies
 Function.

The academic clasS day committee is rapidly maturing the plans for the sx. eroises which are to be held oiI he campus Monday afternoon at o'clock. The committee intends that much oi the confusion that has existed at like affairs in previous years shall be avoid ed this year.
 Carpenters have been at work for two days past in erecting the amphi- theater for the accommodation of the guests and 1t Is expected that the work will be completed early to-day. Mem bers of the class are especially urged to bring their guests to the amphi- theater Monday morning and choose the seats they are to occupy, reserving them by tacklng cards to the benches. The guests will then know exactly where they are to sit.
 In the afternoon guests must be in their seats before the time set for the exercises to begin. This Is absolutely necessary because there is only one en- trance to the amphitheater and it will have to be used by the members of the class when they enter at two o'clock No one will be allowed to enter while the class Is entering nor until they have seated themselves on the grass.
 The members of the class will gather on the campus and organize before en- tering the amphitheater They will form by fours and march around the campus several times and will then en- ter, After the class is seated the ex- eTcises will begin.

 Monday.
PROSECUTION CLOSES

Boise, Idaho, June 21.-When the state to-day closed it's case against Wm, D, Haywood, charged with the murder of Frank steunenberg, the de- fense made an unsuccessful attempt to have the court direct the jury to ac- quit the prisoner on the ground that the state had not proved It's charge. Judge Woods ruling, which requires the defense to meet with evidence the case that the state has presented. was made at the close of court and 1t was then arranged that Haywood's counsel should make their opening statement and present their first testimony on Monday

RAILROAD BILL THOUGHT RADICAL Expected to Raise Consti- tutional and Interstate
 Questions If
 Passed. B. & M. MERGER
 MUCH DISCUSSED. New Issue of New Haven Railroad Stock Involved
 in Exchange of
 Shares.

Railroad officials here are reticent on the subject of the bill of the Massachu- setts railroad committee aimed at re- straining the merger of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Maine railroad system The gen. eral talk in railroad circles, however indicates that the bill is considered as very radical and as going far beyond western legislation in its bearing on the powers of railroad corporations and their stockholders. The bill from the local railroad viewpoint is regarded as critical in two aspects. First, It's re- straint of the powers of private stock holders to transfer thetr shares to other interests. Secondly, the possible clash of the bill with the rights and powers of the Boston and Maine corporation under legislation of Maine and New Hampshire. The bill as law is regard ed as pretty certain to raise grave con stitutionsl and interstate questions not likely to be settled until after much lit- igation.
 An interesting question which has also arisen is the bearing of the Bos- ton and Maine merger and the possible Massachusetts legislation on the new issue of New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad stock. The directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford company several months ago voted to issue new stock in the ratio,

BODY OF FORMER
 BANK CLERK That of c. Edward Trow- bridge Picked up in Wa ters off Sachem's
 Head. DESCRIPTION THAT
 OF MISSING MAN Disappeared Suddenly from Home in Milford on
 Memorial
 Day.

The body of man who has been partially identified as c. Edward Trow- bridge, formerly a clerk in the Me- chanics bank of this city, was found flcating in the water off sachems Head yesterday afternoon by the sloop Dem icra" of Bridgeport and taken ashore at the SacheIn's Head Yacht club house The man had been in the water appar- ently for about a month. The scalp had disappeared from the top of the head, leaving the skull bear, but what hair remained was of dark color as was Mir. Trowbrldge's.
 The description of the man fits MT. Trowbridges description almost exact ly He was of medium height and build and smooth shaven The clothing is similar to that worn by MT. Trow- bridge, his suit being of gray diagonal material, no vest, and shoes of good quality. In the pockets of the clothing were found bunch of keys, some coins, a pair of gloves and cigar case. A tas on the key ring read on one side: Mechanics Bank. New Haven" and on the other side Mercantile Safe De- pcslt Co.,. New Haven" The keys, with the exception of two which were ordi- nary drawer keys, were made to fit Yale locks.
 Medical Examiner West was notified and viewed the body. There were no marks of violence or any bruises dis covered, and the medical examiner is in doubt as to whether Mir. Trowbridge was accidentally drowned or took his own life. He is known to have been discouraged since he left the employ of the bank about two years ago, and this spring his friends had noticed signs of melancholia.
 The Journal and Courier, through J. H. Barnes, of Milford, communicated with the family of MT. Trowbridge. His mother has been greatly worried since her son disappeared on Memorial day, and the family has been quietly searching for him. Besides the mother, there is a brother, Winthrop. who lives in Milford, and brother who lives in New York.
 Aneunele. William Merwin, will leave early thls morning for Guilford to posi- lively identify the body,
 c. Edward Trowbrldge was born thirty-seven years ago and the body found in the water was that of man about the same age, For some years he was employed at the Mechanics bank and was widely known among the young people of the city. He left the bank about two years ago and has since been living with his mother.
 S. Fred Strong, cashier of the Me chanics' bank, said last night that he did not doubt but that the body was that of Mir Trowbridge. He said, how ever that the inscription on the key ring did not necessarily identify the wearer as the rings are given to cus- toners as a small advertisement.

The crew was able to keep the stroke evenly at ss all the way through and were fine and it at tic finish. This crew Is doing scrns good oarsmanship and its showing has been greatly admired by all who have seen 1t at practice. There is, of course, substantial reason for this, as the shelf contains moro seasoned material than the varsity eight. The only new man in the crew is Griswold at stroke and he pulls a veterans car.

A FIRE AT TIE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Last. Sunday morning was a
grand day with the Christian
church people. They had little
bonfire after the morning service,
March 18TH, that will be remem-
bered by many of the members. 1t
had been announced that there
would be a roll-call of the men,
bers and after the sermon by the
pastor, Elder Barnum, on the SUBJ
ject, "The Joy of the Christian" a
roll of the membership was called
by Geo. Guthrie, the clerk which
was responded to by those present.
The communion attended to by
the church officers, the trustees were
called to the front of the church
and while four of them held the
mortgage by the four corners, the
fifth one touched a match and the
congregation sang "Praise God
from whom all blessings flow"
The mortgage went up in flames
and the indebtedness of the church
was wiped out.

A BIBLE RIDDLE.

There is a strange and wonderful
prophet, whose generation was be.
tore the creation ofAdam. He was
not the wandering Jew nor the son
OF Noah, nor the old Levite, nor
John the Baptist; for he was before
them all. The scriptures make
mention of him in Mark, Luke and
John, so we may believe he was no
lmpostor. His beard is such as no
man ever wore; he goes about bare
footed like gray friar. He wears
no fat winter OR summer, but often
appears with crown on his head.
His coat is neither lint nor woven
silk, hair nor linen. He is a tetota-
ler, he prefers an humble dwelling
without a carpet to palace sur
rounded with luxury. He is very
watchful, sleeps not in a bed, but
dozes sitting in singular shaped
chair with his clothes on. He was
with Noah in the ark and also at
the crucihxion of Jesus. At one
time all the living world heard him
when he spoke, at another time he
preached a very short sermon that
a man was convinced of his sins.
He has never ridden on horseback,
although he is sometimes equipped
as horsemen are. He advocates the
thought of early rising, tho he,
himself, never retires to bed. This
prophets voice has been heard in
Medicine Lodge, when he speaks,
the Prophecies are so true we can
tell What is approaching. Do you
know this wonderful prophet:
Read your Bibles and find out who
he If you do not know him
come to the G.. E.. social on "Gooc
Friday" evening in the room under
the the Presbyterian church. Thi:
social will be unique and there will
be an excursion On the Amusement

named year, the Medicine Lodge
Baptist church was organized with
ten members.
Rev. Gain received a unanimous
call to become the pastor of the
above named church, and began his
pastorate April first, remaining it's
pastor for twelve consecutive years.
Mrs. Cain was the superintendent
OF the Sunday school for the same
number of years. These were twelve
OF the best years of their lives, and
years in which friendships were
formed and acquaintance made for
which God shall be praised through
all all eternity. Those seemed to
be days of seed sowing rather than
large ingathering. 1t was heroic
work of faith on the part of the few
early members of the Baptist
church of the lodge" to sustain
pastor and provide a place of wor-
ship. The spirit with which chris
tian work needed to be done in
those early days is correctly ex-
pressed in Ecclesiastes II: 6, "In
the morning sow thy seed, and in
the evening withhold not thine
hand: for thou knowest not whether
shall prosper, either this or
that, or whether they both shall be
alike good"
The writer will close this article
by thanking the many good people
of Barber county for their many
acts of kindness and expressions of
good will manifested in our past
years of pleasant associations.
