FATHER FEESER
IN A RUNAWAY

Rev. Father A. NJ. Feeser of the
Holy Family convent, and Adam W.
Mayan Of this city figured in most
thrilling runaway Sunday, being drag
ged in an overturned vehicle and left
by the wayside at the foot of long
hill covered with a mass of wreckage,
while the horses, entirely released,
galloped out of sight.
Rev. Father Feeser holds services in
the Catholic church at Exchange ev-
cry two weeks. On Sunday morning,
accompanied by Mr.. Mayan, he left
Danville about o. clock for Exchange.
They had two seated carriage, hired
at one of our livery stables. The liy
eryman sent driver along with the
team, who occupied the front seat.
All went we'll until they reached the
top of the second hill this side of Mos
er's hotel, in Valley township, where
the horses took fright at traction
engine standing in the field about
twenty feet from the road. Ahead lay
long steep hill and down this the
horses plunged at breakneck pace.
The driver after futile effort to
check the team called upon Mr.. Mayan
to assist. Glad to render assistance Mr..
Mayan stood up behind and seizing
the lines along with the driver began
tugging at them with all his might
and main. The united strength of the
two men was inadequate to control
the horses. AS the frantic team dashed
down the highway past the residence
of William Wintersteen the runaway
was witnessed by the family and is
described as a positive thriller, while
to the occupants, who knew that
short distance ahead lay another steep
hill there were visions of terrible in
jury and probable death.
At some distance below the Winter
steen farm. however, there is a road
which branches off toward MooIes-
burg. Something induced the horses
instead of continuing OH along the fre-
quently travelled road to turn the cor
ner and head for Mooresburg. By this
time the carriage was badly shattered
and in making the short turn one of
the wheels flew off, which caused the
vehicle to upset, in which position
with the occupants inside it was drag
ged some distance. There is no telling
what the fate of the party would have
been. had not the swingle tree broke
at that juncture, which enabled the
horses to break loose from the wagon.
By the time the men could think at
all they found themselves lying by the
roadside entangled in the wreckage
and crawled out in time to see the
runaway horses disappearing in the
distance Relief had come so suddenly
as the result of such thrilling climax
and as the men realized that none were
hurt they could not but laugh at the
way in which they were all three de-
posted by the roadside.
Mr.. Wintersteen came to the rescue
and hitching up drove Father Feeser
and Adam Mayan to Exchange where
church services were held as usual.
The driver went in search of the horses
which were caught near Mooresburg.

FRICTION IN LEBANON.

Lebanon is another State town in
which friction exists between the
chief magistrate and the councilmen.
Mayor Weimer seems to have reached
the limits of his patience and public

banon Evening Report, members of
city councils with refusing to coop
crate with him for business admin
istration of Lebanon affairs. " He also
declares that they have treated pre-
vious official communications with
such fragrant discourtesy that he has
omitted to send them his annual mess
age this year. He adds that unless
steps are taken to correct the unsan-
itary condition of a portion of the
water supply he will invoke the aid
of the State authorities.

GOVERNMENT AND ROADS.

The Washington Observer remarks :
Representative government may have
its draw backs and failures, but it is
the only system which gives all the
people an opportunity to have choice
in the control and every township
should make it its business to elect
the best men to the office of super
visor and create such sentiment as will
make it necessary for them to carry
out the most progressive and modern
ideas in the improvement and construc
tion of the highways. "

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

NEW HAVEN C9MMANDERY
AT DIVINE SERVICE.
Rev. Edgar c. Tullar Speaks on Jesus, the Ideal
 Man"

By invitation of the pastor, Rev. Ed gar c. Tullar, the New Haven com mandery, No. 2, Knights Templars, att tended service at the East Pearl street M. E. church last evening and MT. Tullar preached a special sermon. The vested choir also rendered. special se- leetions. Mir. Fuller is member of the commandery and a thirty second degree Mason. His subject was: Jesus Christ, the Ideal Man. There was a large attendance considering the un- favorable weather. MT. Tullar preached an excellent sermon and was listened to with attentive interest.
 Alter few words of welcome, MT. Tullar asked for the most careful and thoughtful study of Jesus, the ideal man. He based this study upon what the prophet had said about Him, upon the claims Jesus Christ made for him. self; and also upon the claims of near ly nineteen centuries of Christian his- tory.
 'If,' said the speaker, Jesus Christ l AOGo AAOL lAicOl lllNS( ElGA4AAFf LAiio Qd dhl@ ing twentieth century has the task of erecting monument having this in- scription, Sacred to the memory of the i Christ that was Instead of such a monument, there has never been an age when the words, the teachings, to- gether with the life of Jesus, has had such an influence as to-day.

Meeting these conditions Jesus Christ put His ideal teachings, His ideal char acter, His ideal manhood against the doubts, the shams, the hypocrisies of the age, proving Himself to be the way. for the world what He did, this ideal man worked alone save with what lit- tie help was given by those simple hearted men he ealledshis disciples.
 "This ideal man came with plans complete from the beginning He never experimented with irien or conditions.

 He recognized in men what other men could not see. or know, was there. Disease and death, tempests and de- mons, He had power over: could com mand and they obeyed. His kingdom was not of this world, yet when telling about that Kingdom, He used tho sinip lest illustrations, in sentences as chaste as dew drops. In the world of ltera- ture there are no words that excel the recorded utterances of the ideal man.
 "The supreme work of fyJesus Christ was to help and to save men and for the accomplishment of this He gave Himself. Not strange that He should be crucitied, for the world never want cd Him. It was strange that after He was cruclfied, dead and buried He lived, still lives, the ideal of every age, the Ideal of every man, the ideal of every true knight"

ALTO SPEED LAW.
An Opinion That the Law Should Be
 Maintained.

TO Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Sir-You have recently approved, in your editorial columns, of the proposed removal of the speed limit in the auto mobile law. Haven't you lost sight of the facts, while reveling in a delight ful theory? Such a removal rests on the theory that not only the majority but that practically every automobile owner or driver is perfect gentleman, and Is never susceptible to temptations of reckless speeding, It is delightful theory with which you show sympathy, and it is only another of the many evil dences of your liberal spirit of good will to all men. My only complaint Is that you have overlooked the facts in the case.
 There exists to-day in the state of Connecticut, and largely right here in the city of New Haven, a very remark able degree of recklessness and disre- gard of the rights of the vast majority on the part of owners and drivers of automobiles. That is a statement of fact, which I think can be verified be- fore any reasonable tribunal. If this is so, why do we go further and put larger liberties in the hands of those lwho are to-day showing themselves without a sense of law, or without a regard for others rights and safety2 It doesn't avail to say that the "aver- age" automobile owner and driver is reasonable and fair. We don't make our laws against the greater effenses from the point ofWiew of the average man. In certain way I might say i that you and I are average men, if you will pardon me for using that word In connection with yourself. We would
 resent the idea that we needed the en-
 actment of laws against murder or ar son, or any of the major sins, and yet lsuch laws are absolutely necessary for 4soclety. The automoblists are no ex- lception to the other members of the human family, out of which they come.
 Some of them are good and some are
