PORT BYRON CHURCH NOTE.

port Byron Globe)
A week ago Sunday evening, Feb. IL,
during services, publicly rebuked a
crowd Of noisy boys sitting In the rear
part Of the church, naming Harry Ge-
hung as one Of the disturbers. At the
time was positively certain he was
one of the disturbers, but upon close
investigation / find I was mistaken.
Several adults sitting near by have
convinced me that my belief was err
roneous and am willing TO put their
evidence over and against my personal
conviction. Therefore / desire to say
few words entirely generating Harry
Genung from all blame. Having in
advertently called him out publicly
will in this public way make due apol-
ogy to Harry Genung in order to set
him right. Furthermore. will on my
own volltion say. l regret very much
was unfortunate enough TO get the
wrong boy.
In this connection, however, I Will
add that this statement does not Vim
dictate the crowd one bit, and during
the TeLuduueT OF my pdSuOIdle IN fOrl
Byron rowdyism will not be tolerated
in the Congregational church. Anyone
disturbing the church services. IL evi.
dence warrants it. will be arrested and
prosecuted without leniency. The pen
atty for such an offense is severe, be
ing fine of So to 5000.
also desire to say In reply to nu
merous inquiries that my resignation
last Sunday morning had nothing what
ever TO do with this unpleasant Incl
dent. / had already previous to Feb
II consulted two members OF my con,
gregation and told them of my inten
tons to resign, so they were aware Of
my contemplated resignation.

been recognized as the greatest and
most startling creation of the human
imagination, will be placed before the
public in all it's sensational realism
and indispensable beauty.
In every detail this is the original
sensational 100000 production that
has played to crowded houses at the
leading theatres of all the large cities,
not alone of America, but of all the
world. This production of Inferno
(HelD is one of the few. very few,
theatrical attractions that appeals to
and pleases all classes. Remember,
five full reels.
The Liiey Stock company, which
opened a solid weeks engagement at
the opera house last Monday, is with
out doubt the best and most popular
stock organization we have ever had
in our town.
The company has offered SO In gold
and agrees to pay all expenses, for
any couple who will be married upon
the stage Friday night after the play
A letter was received on Wednesday
by the manager Of the company from
young man living outside the city
asking about the marriage proposition
The manager is going to drive to the
young mans home and try. to arrange
the matter satisfactorily to all parties
and have his marriage performed on
the stage Friday night.

pany and its excellent plays, as it is
the last time you will be able to see
anything like it.

Fight for Conservation

Clifford Pinchot, president of the Ma
tional Conservation association, has ad-
dressed the following letter to mem.
bers of that body:
Your cooperation is earnestly request
ed in preventing the passage of Rep
resentative Raker's bill Oh. r. 12,572)
to grant q right of way over lands in
the Mono national forest to the Hydro
Electric company of California.
Recently letter from gentleman
for whom entertain a RICH regard con-
tanned this statement: 1T has seem
ed to me that the association was in
great danger of becoming mixed up in
the campaign to promote the political
fortunes Of some candidate for the
presidency, and quite aside from any
feeling l might have as to the merits
Of the candidate | had the conviction
that this was a matter into which the
associations members should not be
dragged. Perhaps this danger is imag-
mary, and hope that it is"
Since this Is not the first time that
such a point Of view regarding this as
sociation has been brought 10 my at
tention, quote a part of my reply:
Now, as to the danger which you
feel exists that the association will
become identified with the campaign
to promote the political fortunes of
some candidate for the presidency:
TN reply, have to say this: The job
OF this association is to help develop
and protect the natural resources in
the interest of the whole people. There
would be no more effective way of i'm.
pairing the usefulness of the associa.
ton in its great work than for 1t to be
come the instrument of any man for
political purposes. This IL has never
been, and win not be as long as I re
main president of it.
There Is also, as l see IL, no more
effective way to impair the usefulness
Of the association than for it to fail &c

an equally definite stand against bad
bills In the field of conservation, sim
ply because to do so would put il in

To Fix Status Of Canada.

Washington. Oct. Whether
Canada is a nation or merely de-
pendency not entitled to classifI'
cation as separate entity in inter-
national parlance, Is the question
which will be d.kided by the United
States Customs Court of Appeals
which met here today
The dispute arose between the
treasury and importers, who main
tain that pulp wood and paper
should be admitted into the United
States free of duty from certain Eu-
ropean nations entitled TO preferen-
tial treatment in trade relations un
der the favored nation clause, will be
passed on.
The case is an appeal from the
board of general appraisers and will
be argued for the government by
Assistant Attorney General Wemple
and for the importers by Albert H.
Washbmn of New York.
The controversy is the outgrowth
of the reciprocity law, which not
only provided that pulp wood cut
from private lands in Canada-that
Is lands other than Crown lands
should be admitted free of duty.
This section Of the bill passed.
Importers claimed that in admit
ting pulp wood free of duty from
Canada the United States was dis
eliminating against Norway, Sweden,
Germany. Austria Hungary and Bel
GUM, and demanded that pulp wood
from these countries be brought in
without payment of duty. The treas
ury department opposed this conten-
tion and the board of appraisers
held that there was no discrimina-
tion against the European countries.
1t is contended that Canada was
not to be regarded as a nation, and
that the action affecting it did not
set precedent for complaint by
the other nations, who are enjoying
favored nation treatment.

Science Understands
The Stomach
TREATING INDIGESTION WITH
sTUARTS DYSPEPSIA TAB
LET'S is AN EXACT SCIENCE
THEY GIVE GUICh RELIEF.

Medical men have learned more
about the stomach than perhaps any
other vital organ. They have dis
covered why the stomach rebels at
certain conditions-what causes the
formation of gases-what causes
flatulency, heartburn, dyspepsia,
burning sensation, brash, and all
other disorders of the stomach.
They have gone further. They
have found remedies for all these
Affections, these results of improper
digestion. They have learned that
pepsin, hydrochloric acid and fruit
salts are powerful digestants that
relieve quickly and surely all the
troubles to which the stomach is
subject. They have discovered that
one grain of these properties will
digest 5000 grains of food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
a medicine They are a scientific
compound that supplies the stomach
with the digestive agents which Il
Is itself unable to provide. When
your stomach is sick and not work
ing right-when it fails to give OUT
enough of the digestive juices to
properly take care of the food you
eat, these tablets will make up the
deficiency. You will have no indi-
gestion Your food will digest thor
oughly.
You never can tell Just when your
stomach is going back on you. 1t
gives no warning. If you eat dig
meal, if you eat hurriedly, take one
of these little tablets. You viii!
avoid a lot of pain and misery.
Some of the most prominent men
carry these tablets in their vest
pockets when they attend banquets,
etc, and never fail to take them.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
sold by all druggists, at soc a box.

TO RESIST LEGAL ACTS.
appellate Court Decides It is Proper
In c. V. Foster Case.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 1.-The
right of c. V. Foster to resist by
force the effort of his son-in law,
Jess Burgett, to take away his child
from the Foster home in Jefferson
county, when Burgctt had been en-
joined by order of court from taking
the child out OF the county, is up
held by the criminal court of appeals
in an opinion by Presiding Judge
Fulman, reversing The conviction of
Foster, who was sentenced TO four
years for manslaughter in the sec
ond degree.
Burgetts wife had left him and
was living with her parents. When
Burgett made an attempt to get pos
session of the child and take 1t
across the river into Texas, Foster
and his son, Baker Foster, met him
with armed resistance, and in a
running fight which followed, Bur
gett was killed. The court holds that
when Foster was informed of the
attempt to kidnap the baby it was
his right and duty to use all neces-
sary means to prevent this from be-
ing done, and If he was informed
that Burgett was armed with shot
gun and had threatened his life, he
had the right to arm himself and
pursue Burgett to prevent him from
carrying out his illegal purpose.

BORDER STIRRED BY
MEXICAN THREATS
Rebel Leaders Declare That
Americans in Sonora Will
Be Killed.

Douglas, AriZ.-Interest here in the
Mexican situation on the border has
centered on the widespread threats
Of the rebel leaders to kill Americans
In Sonora.
Inez Salazar and his rebel band
captured Ell Tigre, the American gold
mining camp. In the fighting before
the defenders of the camp were de-
feated seven federals were killed and
a dozen were wounded. Only one
American was wounded. He was Gil
bert McNeill His wound is not seri-
Gus. The rebel loss could not be
learned.
Telephone communication was re-
stored long enough to inform the Of
fcials here that the town had been
taken and that no Americans had been
killed or seriously hurt. Rebels looted
the store Of the company, taking about
$4,000 worth of goods, and the main
body started in the direction of Naco-
zari, a small band being left in the
camp.
The valuable plant of the Ell Tigre
company was not molested. Federal
reinforcements for the Ell Tigre gar
rison were at a point II miles from
the camp, nine hours before the cap
ture of the town, but they never ar
rived.
