prominent families in Center township
and that, unlike zimmerman, he has
been reared well but never took ad-
vantage of it. Once the lad stole $40
from a kinsman, but the affair was
hushed up. With zimmerman he stole
catalpa seed and then sold it back to
the owner. He was also connected
with some chicken stealing affairs.
Roy Hilbert was shown to have
borne good reputation up to the time
he began associating with zimmerman.
Hilbert is % years of age and the
court thought he would be sufficiently
punished by jail sentence. 'Dickey
Rat" Thrine has never had any ad-
vantages and since tender agas has
constantly been in trouble. He is an
orphan and since a mere boy has been
responsible to no one for his conduct.
Young Newman is q farmer boy and
was never in any trouble until one
night last month when he went out
on a chicken stealing exposition. Am
norman and Savage will not be sent
to the reformatory for several days,

ed here to testify against Limiting, the
Centerville poultry dealer, who pur-
chased poultry stolen by the boys.
Limiting will be tried next week.

DEPAUW NEXT FRIDAY.
EARLHAM is EXPECTING TO GIVE
THE METHODlSTS THE BITTER
PILL HANDED OUT TO THE
QUAkERS RECENTLY.

All the students at Earlham are
eagerly looking forward to the basket
ball game between De Paw and the
Quakers in the Coliseum next Friday
night In the game with DePauw at
Greencastle three weeks ago. DePauw
trimmed Earlham to the tune Of II to
II, but Earlham's team work and goal
shooting have improved considerably
since that date and the Quakers count
on being the victOrs on this night at
least. Coach Vail stated that the rea
son of Earlham's defeat in the game
three weeks ago, was not the superior
ity of the Quakers' opponents, but the
played on a floor quite as small as
that in the gym at Greencastle, and
said also that he had no doubt of the
Quakers' ability to win the game on
their own floor.
In chapel this morning, President
Kelly stated that the chapel hour
would be shortened on one or two
mornings Of this week and the time
given over to the boys to practice their
yelIs. If rooters have anything to do
with helping a team on to victory, the
Quakers will not have to swallow the
bitter pill of defeat this week.

Natural Wells In Yucatan,

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas
built their strange cities. is a coral
limestone formation, it would, says a
writer in Records of the Past, have
been a barren desert but for its sub
terranean rivers and the cenotes, or
water caverns, which give access to
them. The Mayas noted the courses
OF the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications of the meth
DDS employed by the Mayas to reach
their cool waters. In Uxmal cenote
about forty feet deep is Inhabited by
a peculiar species Of fish. At Bolan-
chen there is a cenote having five open
ings in the rocks at the bottom of the
cavern. Ladders made by tying tree
trunks together lead down total dis
lance of 1,400 feet. but the perpendic-
ular depth from the surface to the wa
ter is not over 500 feet.

pushers was of league class, will have

play in Richmond when asked
Richmond will present her strongest
lineup when Marion appears here and

But Mr.. Bryan, by what might be
called being too previous, upset this
carefully arranged plan. He rolled I'm
about s o'clock, while several OF the
members of the reception committee
still were in the land OF dreams.
When the train bearing the distin-
guished Nebraskan steamed in under

of baggage, alighted, looked around.

LODGES VS.. CHURCH
Neither Can Pick Flaws With
The Other Owing to Their
Foundation.
HOBSON SPEAKS TO MEN.

Have you picked up your lost man
hood" Such was the theme of Il
discourse delivered Sunday afternoon
at Grace NJ. E. church by Evangelist
Tilman HobsOn, TO a mass meeting of
men that filled the auditorium.
Some time ago in the city Y. NJ. c.
A address on the subject, Drop II"
was delivered and in contrast to that
subject, Rev. HobsOn chose the anti
phrastic theme, Pick 1t Up"
According to Rev. Hobson no men,
Der of one of the leading secret orders
can, according to his vows, condemn
the church, because both the church
and the order are based on the same
teachings and doctrines. The speaker
pointed out tuat the lodge member and
the church member were similarly
pledged to the same truths and prin-
ciples, all founded on the bible. Con-
sequently the church member has no
right to poke remarks at the lodge
member or the lodge member at the
church member In fact, according to
Rev. Hobson, they should stand Shout
der to shoulder in the front ranks for
civic righteousness.
A lodge man is just as much of hyp-
ocrite who disregards purity and
sanctity in domestic and public life as
thechurch member who violates the
same principles, he said. Beginning
tonight, the remainder of the series of
meetings will be held at First M. E.

Mr.. Bryan also said, in his usual
dry-wit manner, seemingly without in
tending to amuse, that when he was
busy campaigning in politics and max
ing numerous speeches, he always
took Sunday for a day of complete
ret, but that now, when he is averag-
ing only two or three speeches daily
through the week, he has sufficient
time to give some attention to relig-
ious matters on Sunday.
At times in his address the speaker
grew quite facetious, particularly
when he discussed the soundness of

prepared. Mr.. Morse was required to
sign two obligations of $4,000 each,
and along with the representatives of
the bonding company was put under
oath to appear at any time his pres
ence may be required.
Mr. Britt stated that he had re-
quested Mr.. Jerome to allow the attor-
neys to produce Mr.. Morse in court to-
day, as he said had been done in the
case of other well known men under
indictment, but had been told that the
public interest demanded that the ex-
banker be placed under arrest as soon
as the ship reached New York waters.
Basis of the Indictments.
The charge against Mr.. Morse grows
out of note given to him by former
Chief Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, of
lie appellate division of the supreme
court Judge O'Brien is said to have
deposited three notes for 100000 each
with Mr.. Morse, in payment for a
block of 900 shares of stock in the
National Bank OF North America. The
notes were to be held three years and
not discounted, accord.ng TO Judge
O'Brien, and at the end Of three years
he was to have the privilege of con-
summating or Withdrawing from the
bargain for the purchas. of stock. 1t
is charged that Mr.. Morse discounted
one of these notes at the Mercantile
National bank. in which he formerly
was a director. and that he represent
ed to the bank that he was authorized
to receive its check for the amount of
lie loans. 1t is further alleged that
