anu prepared the people LOT the re-
ception Of the sermon.
The preacher of the evening was
Rev. r. w. Lilley, who took as his
text the words What think We of
Christi He spoke of the various
men with whom he came into contact
during his life, and suggested that
the people who were contemporary
with Jesus were the best judges Of
what His work was, and of what eff
feet it had upon the age in which He
lived From friend and foe alike he
received but one testimony, and that
was that He was the Son of God.
Peter, Thomas, Caiaphas, PLATE, all
of them rendered the same testimony,
and the ages had confirmed it. If
there has been any great reform the
men who had led it have been men
who had strong faith in the Divine
Sonship of Jesus. The need today is
that men shorld render to Him whole
hearted service.
An after meeting was held in which
there was much interest.

be four meetings held on Sunday next.

Cures Sore and Tired Feet.

Ordinary antiseptic vilane powder
has many valuable uses, but probably
few persons know what wonderful
power it has over sore. tired, aching
or calloused feet 1t draws all the
soreness out, checks excessive perspir-
alton, prevents congestion and cold
feet. while it removes corns Dunions
and callouses. Many physicians know
its worth, and the public can be saw
ed much suffering by this knowledge
being impaired.
II the reader wishes to try it, obtain
of any leading druggist two ounces of
vilane powder. To gallon of steam
ing water add a teaspoonful of the
powder and a tablespoonful of salt,
and keep the feet immersed from 10
to 20 minutes every night for several
weeks.

FLoE DASHED APART
Power Plant Erected by Engineer
H,eh I. Cooper Stands SUI
preme Test and is Not
Harmed In tho Least.

An interesting story Of the dam
built at McCalls Ferry, Penn, built
by Engineer Hugh L. Cooper, is told
in the following dispatch from Ian
caster, Pa:
With grinding and crushing that
put to its greatest test the huge dam
at Minqua of the McCail's Ferry s12,,
100000 power plant, the FIVE mile ice
foe, that stretched ,northward from
that structure, broke down about 1920
o'clock this morning.
This was the keynote of the twenty
mile gorge in the Susquehanna river
that extended from that point nearly
10 Marietta, in this county. In TWEEN
ty minutes the waters rose four feet
at the dam and for the first time
since its erection the ice foes were
crashing over this concrete structure.
The food carried the cakes of ice
forward with great velocity, but with
out any apparent damage. 1t now
seems as if the prediction of the en-
gineers would be verified and the wall
would be able to stand the force OF
the worst freshest this river has pro-
duced for many years.
The power house at McCal's Ferry
had not been harmed, either, up to
late this afternoon, and there was
every appearance that it, too. would
escape The supreme test will come

either right below the dam, or just at
that point.

gorge at York Furnace. This gave

Brutal Killing Which Occurred Early
Sunday Morning Carries With
1t An Element Of
Mystery,
GILMORE MEN IN JAIL
Sweating Process Fails to Bring Con-
fesslon-c olored Woman Kill
ed Was Hacked About
the Head.

The Gate City in yesterdays issue
contained a dispatch about the brutal
murder of a colored woman near
Mystic. Iowa. A second report gives
further details of the crime as fol-
lows:
A crime having every appearance of
brutality and cold bloodedness was
committed at Orrville mining camp
cast of Mystic late Saturday night or
early Sunday morning, Charlotte
Handy, colored woman, 65 years Of
age, was killed in shocking manner
with an old Ratchet, possible other
weapons being used In the house at
the time were Jim and Thad Gilmore,
the woman being the latter's house
keeper, and colored youth is years
OF age, all of whom were held for in
vestigation. After putting them
through a sweating process enough
admissions were secured to warrant
the officers in placing the actual kill
ing on Thad Gilmore, but the brother
is held as an accomplice.
The killing is supposed to have
been done sometime after midnight
Saturday night and prior to 500
O'Clock Sunday morning as at the
latter hour it is admitted that the
woman was dead. The boy Is said to
have overheard the men discussing
plans for getting rid of the body. one
proposal being to cut the ice in Wal
nut creek which is not far from the
house, and drop the body into the
water, The boy told the officers he
thought they referred to him.
Jim Gilmore, when questioned, de-
MED knowledge of the crime, declar-
ing he was not in the room, but that
he had heard quarrel. He protested
to have remained in the house in
ignorance OF the woman's condition
until 800 o'clock Sunday morning.
Undertaken G. II. Taylor and Lee
Cooksey went to Mystic from Center
vile to get the body of the woman
which was brought here late last night
and embalmed. The back part of the
skull was crushed in and there was
hole in the right temple, these
wounds being the evident cause OF
death. The body is at the undertaking
rooms where Coroner Tillmont CON
Quoted postmortem examination this
afternoon.
At the scene OF the murder there
was great excitement, large num-
Der of friends Of the dead woman be-
ing there and emotional scenes took

County Attorney Roll Smith. Sheriff
Lee NJ Dowis and Coroner c. P. Till
mont were at Mystic Sunday investi-
eating the matter and Coroner Till
mont conducted an inquest, the YER
dict of which was that the woman
came to her death at the hands of
Thad and James Gilmore by means
of Ratchet or other blunt instru.
ment
This morning the two negroes were
arraigned before Justic j. A. Colgun
at Mystic. where they pleaded not
guilty, their cases being set for a date
after the grand jury meets, SO that the
grand jury will probably dispose Of the
cases. They were returned to Jail

Story Of Crime.

The crime is considered as being
one OF the most brutal which has oc.
Cured in this country in recent years,
as it is believed the woman was
beaten into insensibility before the
actual killing took place. and that
the woman lay suffering for hours
cursed and beaten when she attempted
an cutlery and, denied even the solace
OF a drink Of water.
Jim Gilmore. who is resident OF
Centerville. went Saturday to Mystic
and went to Deadmans Dump where
his brother, Thad, and Gilbert Turn
er. an adopted son of James Overton
lived with Mrs. Handy who kept house
for them. 1t is learned that Thad
Gilmore and the woman had trouble
Thad drinking and the woman up
braiding him. 1t is said she had
threatened to leave, and Thad had
threatened her if she did Thad beat
the woman early in the evening and
the latter's daughter, Mrs. Masonia
Toliiver, came and washed blood
IA oiu Her nolHer WOUNDS at the
time.
There was more trouble and the
boy went to Mystic to notify the of
ficers but says he could not find one
who could go. He later returned home
and saw the woman huddled on the
floor and the men would not allow
him to go into the other room where
she was. What he heard frightened
him SO that he slipped large hatchei
under his pillow. He arose early ant
got breakfast and found the woman
dead. He said Thad kicked her body
and said, yes, she's dead" jim
