Poultry Vanished

William Wahl Of Summit Lake
township, had an unusual experience
the first of the week. On Monday
evening he filed his wagon box full
of chickens and turkeys, to the num-
Der of about 200, intending to take
them to market the following day,
but when he went to hitch bis team
to the wagon he discovered that the
poultry had vanished. He dis.
covered some wagon tracks, which he
followed in a northerly direction for
some distance, but finally lost the
trail. He has no idea as to who the |
;ulprit may be, but someone will
have plenty Of cheap poultry for his
Christmas dinner. /

worthinston High School Meets
j. Defeat In Is First State
Debate

Mankato High School admins
tered the drubblng but it was by no
means a crushing defeat and tbs
Worthington school has no reason to
be discouraged. This is the first en-
try of Worthington into the State
Debating League and it was hardly
to be expected thatthey would win
against Mankato. .Mankato had one
of last years team, they had the ex-
perienoe Of former ,ears and they
had more time to prepare for this
contest. Worthington had planned
to wait until after, the Holiday vaca-
ton before taking up the debate, but
were pushed into. the date rather
against their wishes. '> Mankato also
had the advantage of choice of sides.
AS a rule, it is easier to win on tho
negative side. Worthington's failure
was due more to lack of time for IN
formation than to any other cause.
The debate was interesting, and tie
audience gave the closest attention
Worthington gave their songs and
yelIs before the debate Z opened. !.
Mr.. Patterson of the Board of Educas
ton presided. Each school was rep'
resented by three speakers, each
speaker having ten and 6ye minute
speeches: Each school was also rep
resented by two yonng men and one
young lady: s@@z<s !. - +. II. ).
The judges were Atty R. q. Burns
Of st: James, supt. Williams Of Win
lom, and supt. Foster of Mountain
Lake. They agreed that The teo
voung ladies had thsSbest pf the hcxs,
- both sides. Mabel Nicklas proved
he strongest debater in rebuttal
which is tho final test of real debat'
ng ability. Miss Nicklas had the
losing speech and made a strong
,ull for victory but the team was a
title too far behind to recover. Supt.
6cConnell of Mankato, expressed
|imself as we'll pleased with the cour
esy shown by Worthington and
oped that the two schools might
1eet again next year.

.CONG'L PULPIT IS VACATED
Rev, John E. Evans concludes
his Ministry in Wor.
+ thinston

The pastorate of Rev. John e.
Evans was brought to a fitting close
by maeterful address to union
audience in the Methodist church Oh
December lst.
The strong sense of mutual re-
spect, regard and regret at the sever
ing of the ties which bound
him not only to his congregation but
to the whole community, which were
expressed by the speaker, but echoed
the sentiments of his entire audience,
and the sympathy thus engendred
enabled him with his customary elo-
quence, wealth of reference and
depth Of human experience to hold
his hearers throughout his discourse,
and send them to their homes with a
realization, that they were strength
ened Rnd refreshed for having heard
him.
Rev Evans commenced his labor
in WprthiDgton, On June l, 1906, pur-
gu art to a call to the pulpit of the
Union Congregational Church, and
His resignation therefrom was handed
Ito theE society in October last to take
effect December 1st.
4. Mr Evans found the church in a
>demoralized and disorganized con-
,ditionS the. old church having then
been iecently destroyed by fire, the
membsrsnip dwindling, and enthu-
:.iasnas to s'ut it mildly, on the wane.
sFromg + this unauspicious prospect,
during the sixtesn months Of bis
leadership, the new church was built

ship increased by seventy souls.
