not simply commemorating an event ;
we are sharing In an experience; we
are not simply adding an article to our

The deep significance Of this Easter

In that place Christ rose from the

that to-day and now Christ is gaining
the victory for us and the message Of
the angel Is bringing Joy and new life
to the hearts that are dead in trespass-

goes to seek crucifed Jesus and finds
instead risen Savior, the event Of
day Is repeated and the Joy Of the an

The real power OF the resurrection lies
In the spiritual experience, not In the

HUNTER SRECAPTURED
INSANE NEGRO MURDERER TAKEN
NEAR FOND DU LAC.
Is Recognized BY Former Inmate of
Northern Hospital-Makes Des-
perate Effort to Escape.

; FOND DU LAC. Wis, April %
LSpecial.I-At 10 o'clock this morning
Fred Hunter, the insane negro murder
er who escaped from the Northern hospi-
cal at Oshkosh and who was arrested
late yesterday afternoon at South Byron.
was taken back to Oshkosh by Chief
Nolan.
Hunter owes his arrest to large ex-
tent to Richard Donovan, a former con-
Wet and who was confined at the north
ern hospital with him for a time. Dono-
van recognized Hunter yesterday after
noon while the negro was in this city and
he Immediately notified the police. AS a
result of the information given by Dono-
wan the police placed a dragnet around
the negro. who although he managed to

get out of the city. could not get ahead
of the telephone message sent to South
Byron. When he arrived at that place
he walked directly into the arms of Con-
stable Charles Peters and Andrew Col
Inns, a section hand. For a time the
negro showed fight, but upon seeing q
large crowd approaching he gave himself
up before anyone had been injured
The negro was brought to this city and
placed in cell. The only thing found
on his person was a watch that he had
stolen Tuesday night from the residence
After escaping from the northern hos
pital Hunter started directly across the
fields. He arrived at Van Dyne about
midnight Tuesday evening and a short
time later walked into North Fond du
Lac and sought shelter in the barn of
Andrew PrefOntaine. While in the barn
he kept three large stones near at hand
in order to use them against any per-
son, who might attempt TO capture him.
Early Wednesday morning Hunter left
his hiding place to rob the home of f.
Miller in North Fond du Lac. Mrs. Mil
Ter, who was in bed at the time, heard
the negro enter the house. but was so
frightened that she was unable to move.
Her fright probably saved her life. Aft
err committing the burglary in which he
only secured a watch, Hunter started
for this CITY. He remained in hiding
throughout the morning and in the after
noon renewed his flight. 1t was then
than he was seen by Donovan. Hunter
evidently recognized Donovan, because
his movements after that showed that
he was desperately afraid of being cap
tured.
Hunter was convicted of the murder of
William J. Langson in Milwaukee two
years ago and while serving life term
at Waupun was declared insane.

SIGNIFICANCE IN EASTER.
By Rev. Percy 7

By Rev. Percy Traford olton.
We stand beside the empty tomb on
Easter Sunday morning and listen to
the message Of the angel. What does
1t mean? Does it simply record a fact
in history? Human interest is in that
which 1t to happen, rather than In
that which has happened.
We may consider the resurrection Of
Christ well attested, credible fact in
history; the keystone of the Christian
religion; the supreme witness Of the
Immortality of the soul. But there 1t
stands - unconnected, distinct, apart
from our own personal life. We have
never made it the keystone Of our own
personal faith in Jesus Christ; we
have never wove it into the very fibre
of our life as child Of God. It is for
us a historical event; an article Of the
Christian faith; an argument for the
life beyond the grave.
And some may ask. What more can
De desired?" It would seem as if one
had reached the circumference and had
grasped the full value Of the message
of EasteS when such a confession had

SMUGGLERS BID HIGH.
Offer to Pay 100000 to Customs Off
Gals to Stop Prosecution, but
Are Turned Down

NEW YORK, April 20.-The two
lawyers representing the unnamed clients
who offered Harrison Osborne, solicitor
to Collector of the Port Loeb, 100000
if the customs authorities would turn
over the recently seized gowns and laces
and guarantee not to prosecute, have put
up a still stronger proposition.
They are willing to admit their clients
are guilty and that the total foreign val
ue of all the goods which they expected
to get in by the use of "sleepers" trunks
without addresses and unaccomp anied by
owners) is about 100000. They are
willing to pay this amount into the cof-
fere of Uncle Sam, likewise the duty on
the fnery of 60 per cent, or $60,OOO
and 100000 additional, which is the
limit of the fine their clients might have
to pay if they are prosecuted criminally
What they want is not to be prosecuted
and to get the gowns.
Naturally Collector Loeb rejected The
proposal. He refused today to say what
he thought about the persons behind it,
but it is said all the talent of the Gus
tom house will be brought into play to
discover who put up the capital for the
actual smugglers.

Pent-up grief, which had found no ut

her parents and sisters were following
the body of her brother to the grave,
ignorant of their double bereavement
They had believed she merely had faint

Brother and sister had been compan-
ions and playmates since the sister, the
younger, could lisp. She was % years
old at her death. The brother was %

ICE CLOSES NIAGARA.
Jam at Mouth of River Threatens Cities
Thousands of Tons Pouring
Over Falls

NIAGARA FALLS, n. J.. April 81
Thousands of tons of broken ice piled
in a confused mass in the mouth of the
Niagara river where it flows into Lake
Ontario, today threatens the Lewiston
suspension bridge, which is So feet above
the normal level of the river.
Moving ponderously before a tremend-
Gus pressure of water, the mass of ice is
slicing off the river embankment as it
passes and threatens serious damage to
some of the hotels on the river side or
dinarily high above the water.
Great fields of ice are pouring over
Niagara falls, constantly adding to the
accumulation which clogged the exit Of
the river into Lake Ontario. This in
creases the height of the mound of ice
at Lewiston, which already is nearly
eighty feet above the usual level of the
river.
Appeals for help have been made to
the war department and Gov. Hughes,
and the governor has sent an expert in
the use of explosives.
