Vatican on Guard.
Rome, Oct. 1S.-Armed guards are
patroling the vatican, and Cardinal
Merry del Val has abandoned his
afternoon drives, because of warnings
of expected attacks on the Pope. The
execution of Ferrer in Spain has been
seized upon by the anti-clericals as a
preteXt for a renewal of the campaign
against the vatican and the religious
orders.
Vatican attaches have been advised
by the police to exercise caution and
not expose themselves to the anti
clericals.
The vatican is guarded by large
force, and bayonets surround the
Spanish embassy and the religious in
stitutions.
Not much is said in political circles
but the impression seems to be that
other governments of Europe soon
may be involved in a struggle with
the revolutionary element The out
cry of the radicals of Spain is echoed
throughout Italy.

of vermin being guests at the same

inch of bacon consisted days rations,

eighteen long months he, with others,
endured and lived through this, and
the clothes they wo.,s there they
wore away what was left of them.
How kind we should all be To these

Game Near Drowning

Flat river came near claiming anoth-
er victim on Friday last, and had it
not been for the quick aid of Albert
Draper, these columns would chronicle
another fatality. The particulars of
the affair are as follows: Herbert
Wood, the 15-year-old son of Marshall
Wood, was in swimming at the saw
mill and had been up to Lightning
Bend, swimming all the way down,
which tired him considerably. He
then mounted the diving board, diving
into the river and swimming nearly
half way across under water. When
he reached the south side of the river
without hardly pausing for a rest, he
started to swim back and had gone only
a third of the way when he began TO
give out. He called for help but sank
at once, going down the third time be-
fore Draper, who went Immediately to
his assistance, could reach him. When
Draper got hold of him Wood grabbed
him by the throat and Draper had hard
work to get him to safety but finally
succeeded in doing so, though not until
he himself was almost exhausted.

IS HELD
FOR TRIAL
The Examination of Albert
Geldorf Was Finished
Tuesday
CASE GOES TO COURT
Attempted to Drown Nettie Simons
-Lawton Larceny Case
Adjourned
CASE GOES TO COURT

Justice Lapham's court was a busy
place last Tuesday, with both the Gel
dorf attempted drowning case and the
George Lawton larceny case on the
docket for examination.
The testimony of fourteen witnesses
i'm the Geldorf case was read over and
signed and more testimony was taken
by Mr.. Williams from Miss Simons,
who had previously sworn that Geldorf
threw her into the river because she
refused TO keep company with him any
longer. Prosecuting Attorney Sheldon
argued that he be held for trial, as the
evidence, he claimed, was sufficient TO
warrant it.
Palmer L. Williams, who appeared
for the respondent, argued that the in
tent must be proven beyond "A possibil-
ity of doubt and thought that no intent
to murder had been shown. The court
thought the evidence sufficient and he
was bound over for trial at the Novem-
ber term.
The George Lawton case was called
and f. G. Miller appeared as his attor-
ney. ID. Il. Wilson, Sumner Wilson,
Wilbur Wilson and f. A. Bush were
sworn and the case was adjourned fol
further hearing To August IL.

The Disciples of Christ

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Disciples of Christ for the
celebration of their Centennial this year
in Pittsburg, Pa. The date, October
lilo, 1909, is taken from the appear.
ance of ga Declaration and Address,
by Thomas Campbell, father of Alex
ander Campbell, September 7th, 1909,
which was the first and only publica-
tion of "The Christian Association of
Washington, Pa an organization
composed of members of different
churches bent on Christian union and
missionary propaganda. Their first
church was organized in 1871 at Brush
Run, Washington Co., Pa, but the
year before friends of theirs had estab-
lished one in New York City and i'm
1903 Barton w. Stone, who in 1882
formed coalition with the Campbells,
had taken the same position in Ken
lucky. These foregleams were to the
Declaration and Address what the
Mecklenburg Declaration and the Bos-
ton Tea Party were TO Thomas Jefier-
sons immortal document of July 4th,
l776.
From 1913 to 1929 the Campbells
were connected with the Baptists. But
having been received without endorsing
the Philadelphia Confession of Faith
and evincing no disposition to conform
TO its tenets their relation with the reg
ular ministers of the denomination was
increasingly strained. Originally the
Campbells, Stone and Walter Scott,
who soon became a man of might in
the movement, were Presbyterians,
either Seceder NOW United), or regular.

IN ALLEGAN COUNTY
Local Option Works Well Accord
ing to Reports

Editor Lasher, of the Plainwell
News, gives the results so far of the
dry conditions in Allegan county
Plainwell is located near the county
line twelve miles from Kalamazoo,
with unlimited opportunities to get
TO the "wet'' celery city, and yet the
business men, Mr.. Lasher says, are
not making complaints about trade
going TO wet towns, on the other
hand many are receiving old debts
that were considered uncollectable. He
says
"The county Jail empty for the first
time in years of sentenced prisoners
is a telling argument for local option
and what il is already doing for Allie
gan county. Various public celebra-
tions held about the county, all of
which have been remarkably free from
intoxicated persons is another indlca-
ton of the dry condition which pre-
walls. There are exceptionally few
complaints from business men of de-
creased sales, while ii is not unusual
TO hear merchants tell that they have
received payments on debts when
had practically been considered worth
less.
"The horrible condition which the
liquor advocates predicted has as~yet
failed TO appear. There are but few
reports of illegal selling of liquor and
these are being Investigated thoroly
by the enforcement league and few
examples will probably be made
shortly. No one desires TO see any
persecution in the liquor campaign,
but when "A law is deliberately vio-
lated summary punishment should be
administered as there can be little
excuse for Ignorance.

Ye Olde Tyne Concert.

There was good full house at the
Baptist church last Friday evening
drawn there by the entertainment Civ
en- by the Baptist people entitled "An
Olde Tyne Concert" and it certainly
was fine one. The ancient costumes
and the quaint and staid actions of the
players were very amusing and TO the
older members of the audience brought
TO their minds pleasant memories of
the past while it gave the young people
an insight into the way in which their
forefathers appeared in public.
A special feature was Mrs. A. Morse
spinning yarn at the old spinning
wheel. Another was Elmer Cook as a
colored declaimer. Three young maids
of Lea and their lightning change tc
three ofd maids of the same place was
also very pleasing. The ladies cleared
about $1,000.
