END OF REVOLT NEAR
POWERS TO TAKE ACTIVE STEPS
TO STOP CHINESE WAR.
Present Government Will Be Support
ed II Rebels Fail to Show
Spirit of Compromise.

Picking, Dec. est is stated here
on good authority that the revolution
will be brought to an early end, pos.
sibly within the present week, by in
tervention of the powers. The pow
ers will exert all their influence to IN
duce the revolutionists to accept a
limited monarchy.
Great Britain and Japan have been
active for several days past in an ef-
fort to interest the powers in inter.
vention The recent agreement be-
tween Japan and Great Britain which,
ostensibly, was only to extend friendly
offices at Shanghai, also provided that
the allies cooperate to promote a set
Element of the rebellion. The Chinese
government has received advices from
its agents abroad that the powers have
regarded with favor the advances of
Great Britain and Japan toward CO
operation along these lines.
While the interest of the powers is
friendly at this stage it is understood
that active intervention in support of
the existing government will be the
program if the rebels fail to show a
spirit of compromise.

AGAIN DENIES MORSE PARDON
President Does Not Believe Bankers
Condition Merits Leniency at
This Time.

Washington, Dec. 25.-For the third
time the president has denied a par.
don to Charles w. Morse, the New
York banker now serving a 15-year
sentence in the federal prison at At.
lanta.
The president received a report
from Atlanta from the army and civil.
ian surgeons upon Morse's condition
He Immediately summoned Surgeon
General Charles F. Stokes of the navy,
Surgeon General George H. Torney of
the army, and Capt. NJ. A. Delaney,
the White House physician, to the ex,
ecutive Offices.
At this conference the report from
Atlanta was carefully considered and
the conclusion reached that Morse S
illness would not justify a pardon at
this time. 1t was given out at the
White House that should the convict
grow worse the case would again be
reopened.

M|NCE MEAT GLORY
i TO Be RESTORED
Pure Food Board Prescribes
Proper ingredients for Pie.
OLD STANDARD IS SET UP
Government Inquiry Into General
Conspiracy Discovers That Many
High Crimes Are Committed in
Name Of Product.

Washington, Dec. 25.-The federal
government has laid down a rule for
mince meat. The great question is
practically settled; not, it is true, in
time to catch all Christmas pies, but
as happy promise and harbinger for
the new year
The pure food board of the depart
ment of agriculture, headed by Dr.
Harvey w. Wiley, after laboring for
months over the question, What is
mince meat?" has evolved this official
definition:
"Mince meat is a mixture of not less
than ten per cent. of cooked, COM
minuted meat, with chopped suet, APP
pie ana other fruits, salt and spices,
and with sugar, strip, or molasses,
and with or without vinegar, fresh,
concentrated, or fermented fruit
juices, or spirituous liquors"
High Crimes in Its Name.
The board has been inquiring for
several months into the general conspir-
acy that produces commercial mince
meat in this country. 1t has discov-
cred many high crimes committed in
the name of mince meat, connections
which, in the boards opinion, are de.
flaming the memories of our grand
mothers and hiding behind a cherished
name.
The mince meat manufacturers have
contended that you really cannot
standardize this delicious article, for
mince pie from away back in Shake,
speare's days has been lust what any
body chose to make it. 1t was posi-
BILE, they argued, to have even mince
meat without meat.
Warns Makers of Mince Meat.
The pure food board, however, after
considering the big question from all
angles has prepared copies of indict'
ments. These have been sent to the
professional makers of mlnce meat, re-
quiring them to show cause why they
should not hereafter be required to
make the pie filling according to Off
cial formula.
1t is true that the order issued by
the board in its present form is ten.
tative, but Doctor Wiley is firmly OF
the opinion that no evidence can be
adduced that will shake the intention
of the board to preserve this long
established institution in it's pristine
glory.

THE SACRED CANIATA
Prince of Peace Splendidly Render
ed at Central M E Church.

Practically the only sacred cantata
given during the Christmas season in
Oskaloosa was that given on Sunday
evening by the choir of the Central
M. e. church, under the direction of
Claire d. Gordon. II has been the
custom for several years past for
this choir to give the public the bene
fit of some popular cantata at the
Christmas and Easter seasons and as
a consequence the great auditorium
of Central church was crowded to the
limit, with an interested and music
loving audience. The cantata pre-.
scented this year was The Prince OF
Peace" by John Spencer Camp, and
the musical theme seemed to culmin
ate at several points, in some old and
majestic hymn of the church, which
only increased its novelty and beauty.
The personnel of the choir was as
follows:
Sopranos, Mrs. Roy II. Kemble, Miss
Mabel Ware, Mamie Clark, Mrs.
Ethel H. Douglas, Mary Mcclure,
Edith Smith, Bessie Moore, Miss
