and, after an interval for lunch,
another preaching service at 2 p.
M, and the Epworth League
meeting and sermon in the eve
ming. Then on Monday evening
until Friday again special meet
ings. The preaching will not be
of the type usual in revivals, ev-
en- of the modern sort.
On each of these week days a
children's meeting of half an
hour will follow Immediately on
the closing of school. Adults will
be heartily welcomed to these
meetings for children. Often
they serve even more effectively
than ordinary services to meet
the case of those who must needs
become as little children" that
they may enter the kingdom.
Let us all, as far as possible,
lay aside all interests that can
hinder attendance on this short
series of spiritual efforts. Come
punctually, and get and do as
much good as we can. No col
lections except those in the sab
bath service.

Grant Davis returned Tuesday
from a trip to Loveland, bringing
a load of fruit and canned goods.
On Monday evening he attended
the tax meeting at Greeley. He
was accompanied home by Mrs.
N. E. Trumbo, who has been Wis
iting in Loveland the greater
part of the summer.
Abbott Frye was a dinner guest
of Mr.. and Mrs John Deal, last
Sunday. Then when he returned
home he found a splendid lunch
of fried chicken and other good
things that had been brought by
Mrs. Hainey and Mrs. Cottrell
while he was away.
Sixteen thousand pounds of
chickens, of all ages, breeds and
sizes, passed thru Keota last Sat-
urday in a special car, with a
keeper in charge. They were
enroute from Farnam, Neb,, to
San Francisco, Cal.

Marion, and Miss Eva Smith,
came by auto from Fort Morgan
and spent Sunday with Mr.. and

is a nephew of Mrs: Savage.
r. S. Gamble is again in the

unwarranted. and should go on
record as opposing it. President
Grant Davis was elected to at
tend a protest meeting, held in
Greeley Monday evening,
The assessment by Mr.. Num-
per was made on a basis of 2.62
times the valuation for 1912, and
amounts to $37, 18O, 230. To this
is added the tax commission as
sessment of SIS, 4O2, 80 on rail-
roads; and 81, ,O72,O2 on public
utilities, making a total valuation
of $50, 654, $50 for the county.
The proposed increase is $23, :
OIL, ,742, twenty millions Of which
would fall on 3O5, 600 acres of ir-
rigated land, and a portion of the
balance on merchandise stocks.
This was not brought out at the
Keota meeting, the inference be-
ing that the increase would be
horizontal on all classes of pri-
vate property. Final action lies
with the state board of equaliza-
ton, consisting of the governor
and four other state officials. The
tax commission acts only in an
advisory capacity. The increase
would result in a larger state
tax; but should not affect the
amount of the county tax.
AS other business, the action
of the subcommittee in appoint
ing Messrs. Davis, Rumsey and
Dodder a special park committee
was approved and made perma-
nent. Adjournment was taken
until Tuesday evening, October
q, the regular time Of meeting
being the first and third Tues
days of each month. All are
urged to attend, and to become
members of the club if not al
ready so.

CHURCH LIFE

church arrived in town on Satur-
day, the 11th inst, and opened
his work on the following morn
ing, preaching from Genesis "a:
49, and forecasting possibilities
of service. He expects all Chris:
tians to work with him for the
great ends to which the church
is called here and everywhere.
The response to his main propo-
sition was cordial and assuring.
The appointment for Grover
having been cancelled, Pastor Oil
yer will serve that place alternate
ly with Keota until man has been
found for it. There will there
fore be no preaching on the 10th
inst; but an important sugges-
ton of the PASTORS will be pre-
sented to the Sunday school au-
dience for consideration and ac-
ton.
With the coming on of preach
ing services there will be need of
punctuality in the opening of
school. Let everybody plan ahead
to be on the spot at 10 a. M, so
that the work may begin on time
sharp. In the same way, the Ep-
worth League meetings should
open promptly at z p. m. Moth
ing so tends to WEAKNESS in a
meeting as lateness in beginning;
those who were at hand being
ready to go home when the meet
ing is about half thru. The ten
dency with such is to come late
the next time, and so the mischief
is perpetuated.
For temporary purposes the
pastor will address the Epworth
League gathering at the close of
the regular topical study on some
subject of practical interest.
While waiting on his household
goods Pastor Oliver is visiting
the homes of our community, and
will see everybody at as early a
date as he can. Whoever has any
suggestion to offer as to conven-
ience of time for his coming to
them, can leave word with Mr..
Schoonover. When once he is
settled he will be glad to have
friends from the country call up
on him.
Special meetings will commence
on Monday evening, the Goth, and
run to Friday the oath inclusive.

all-day rally, to which our friends
from far and near are invited,

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT LINE
WILLIE. .n
New Made Grave of Little Child
ODened.

No act in the entire category of
crimes causes such thrill of abhor-
ance as that of disturbing or tamper-
ing with the last resting place of the
dead, and when it was whispered
about last week that the grave of
little holland Hayes in the South
Lineville cemetery had been opened,
people spoke of it with shudders and
in bated breaths. It was not until
the middle of the week that the real
known. Geo. Vaughn, who is in the
employ Of O. y. Greenlee, who is
under contract with the cemetery as
ISOLATION to keep both Evergreen and
the South Lineville cemeteries in or
der, was passing through the latter
cemetery on Sunday, Aug. 10th, he
noticed something wrong at the
grave of the little Hayes boy who
died from being choked on a piece
of meat, and upon closer examination
found that all or nearly all the dirt
had been thrown from the grave,
only few inches of earth being left
above the casket. He notified under-
taker, O. O. Greenlee, and both i'm
mediately went to the cemetery to
make a closer investigation. 1t was
found that all the earth had been
removed from the grave, the screws
from the outer box taken out and
carefully laid to one side. The body
which was in an advanced stage of
decomposition had not apparently
been disturbed. The lids of both the
casket and outer box had been re-
placed, but the screws not refastened,
and few inches of the earth throwns
back on them. This is all that is
known concerning the affair. The
rest is all guess work and conjecture.
What could have been the motive
that prompted the act or the purpose,
is still an unsolved mystery.
