Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-Today the Southern Railway made general cut of it's offices force. It has not been announced whether this is done in accordance with the policy of economy or is simply the usua! reduction that comes every spring preparatory to the lighter summer business departments throughout. the southern and western divisions, of which Atlanta is the headquar- ters, and the northern and eastern, of which Washington is the head quarters, will feel the effect of the reduction. Just how many men will be laid off or lose a share of wages is not known. but the proba- hility is that each office will lose from four to six men.

OPENING OF THE
 OSWEGO CANAL,

Albany, N. Y., May 15.--The EOswego canal opens today. There was question whether the Os- Weso canal should be opened for navigation this season, as Mosier X Summers, contractors far barge canal work, have protestd that it could not be done without seriously Interfering with their contract at
 Fulton. The superintendent hoids that under the law the department
 has no authority to keep the canal closed to navigation between May 15 and November 15. Superintend- .ent Stevens therefore notified the contractors to place the canal in condition for. navigation, and it opens today.

buy two season tickets the cost will
be 50 90, as against $500 for the

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.

Prof. l.. F. Parker of Iowa college at
Grinaell was the speaker at the union
evening service Sunday. The attend
ance was good and an interesting SER
vice was held. Prof. Parker dwelt on
the gracious opportunities opening to
the Christians in this country. He
believed that it was good to be here at
a religious service in Oskaloosa, a
city with liberal church privileges, with
a well observed Sabbath and a city
government seeking to do it's best and
make the best of the city. He ex-
pressed himself as believing that it was
good to be here not only because OF
this felicitous city, but because of It's
being a part of Iowa, with its fertile
soil and blue skies and bright hope
for the future, where we reside happily
by the side of foreigners from. every
section of earth wac nave come here
and settled down as true Americans
ald who, he said, "have helped to en-
rich the soil a1d uplift society" He
believed Iowa to be a benediction, but
more than that it seemed good to b.
here because botn city and state were
bilt a part of the great United States
with all its power and prominence,
standing as it does the foremost
among all nations OF the world for
peace, Justice and integrity. Every
true citizen. said, Prof. Parker, VINO
does MIS- part at home or wherever he
may be, shares in the great good
which the nation is doing among the
powers of the world While America
has always offered unlimited oppor-
unities. it has never offered them to
such an extent as il is now doing. ami
will do In coming years. To be sue
eessful we musr build our reputation
ON the rock of Christ and make our
lives truly heroic. The address was
brief but touched a popular patriotic
chord and was well received.
