THE H1GHTowER RALLY

THE HIGHTOWER RALLY
On July 18th the Sunday Schools and
congregations Of the various school
houses of northeastern Weld county will
gather at the Hightower school house
for general rally, and hearty well
come is also extended to all persons un-
attached. This is organized in the be-
lief that it is good thing to bring
our scattered peoples together a few
times in each year at convenient CEN
ters. for social worship and mutual en-
couragement. The rally of June ID. at
Keota, with it's attendance of fully 300,
showed how thoroly this belief il shared
by the countryside population; and it is
expected that quite as many, if not
more, win take advantage of this op-,
portunity, especially such as were pre-
vented from enjoying the last.
The Hightower friends assure ~ that
they will have ready for US ample pas
ture, water supply, shelter if there
should be need, and an open-handed
welcome.
A detailed program is scarcely possi-
BILE until near the time; but the charac
ter of the days doings is we'll settled.
At 10 a. m. the Sunday Schools will
unite in general session, with such
grouping into classes as the numbers
and ages of those present may suggest.
Let all bring their own literature and
song books. The hymns used will b.
familiar, to be found in all books. Any
friends who will give specials rs choirs,
soloists, or in any combination, will
greatly please us.
Preaching will follow at II a. m. then
a recess for basket lunch. Immediate
ly upon this will be held the fourth
quarterly conference Of the M. E.
Church, which will not take long, and
to which all interested are invited. At
2 p. m. more preaching, and all will
close with the administration Of the
Lords Supper, of which all Christians,
whether members Of churches or not,
are earnestly invited to partake. That
is place where all who love God and
man have an equal right. Let al such
enter heartily into the great purpose Of
remembering the Lords death for our
salvation.
1t is expected that the proceedings
will close by p. M, to allow of per-
sons from a distance reaching their
homes in good season.
The leading preacher Of the day will
be the Rev. A. L. Chase, Phi. d. of
Denver, Superintendent of the Greeley
District of the n. E. Church. With
him will be associated al local pastors
who can attend, and they will all be
heard in one connection OF another; and
everything within their power will
be done to make the occasion msmora-
bic for its delights. Above and beyond
all that men can do will bs the rich CIV
ing of our Heavenly Father. Let all

A Homestead Garden

Big, luscious, red-ripe strawberries
from their own vines for the Fourth Of
July, and for other days before! Not
many dry-landers are so lucky; but
George W. Boyer and family, seven
miles south of Keota, have them, and
had few of the berries last season az
well. From tiny patch in their garden
they picked dozen quarts this season,
demonstrating that, with care, the
homesteader may have the choicest of
fruits. with the richness and freshness
unknown in those shipped in.
Mrs. Boyer is the gardener of the
family, and both vegetable garden and
flower beds are delights to the eye.
Last year she sewed canvas strips into
hose, about two inches in diameter, for
irrigation direct from the pump of their
windmill. The hose was painted, and
being large, carries the water to the far
parts of the garden with little need Of
pressure. Some people claim it will not
do to run cold water onto garden truck,
but the Boyers would use more of it if
their pump and we'll would deliver it.
However they do not believe in flooding;
and thoro tillage, keeping the ground
clean and mellow. unquestionably has as
much to do with the success of their
garden rs has the water they give it.
The Weather
Showers in several localities during
the week. Good rain reported from the
Briggsdale section. Light rain At Ke-

LIGHTNING HITS BIG BALLOON
Message Saying Pilot is Hurt but
Giving No Details Sent BY
Carrier Pigeon.

Portland, Ore, June 15.-One brief
message telling of disaster to the bal
loon Million Population Club, is the
only word received from three of the
balloons that started here in a race
under the auspices of the Aero Club
of America. OF the fate of the Kan
sas City III. and the Springfield there
was an ominous silence. The other
balloon in the race, the Uncle Sam
was wrecked in a thunder storm.
On the wings of a white carrier
pigeon was brought this laconic mes.
sage from the Million Population club:
Balloon struck by lightning. Berry
hurt. Come quick.
tsigned) MORRISON"
The message was written by George
Y. Morrison, probably while he was
in a daze, for he failed to give his To-
cation. His companion was Captain
John Berry, of st. Louis, the pilot.
Every effort possible is being put
forth to find the Million Population
club and the other two unreported bal
looms.

DRAMATIC ACT OF MIlITANTS
EXPLODE BOMB AS PARLIAMENT
DISCUSSES THEM.
Westminster Abbey Visitors Panic
Stricken by Detonation-Part of
Coronation Chair Ripped OF.

London. June 1.-THE militant suf-
fragettes staged one of the most dra.
matte acts of their campaign when
they exploded a bomb in Westminster
Abbey at the very moment that the
Right Hon. Reginald McKenna, secre-
tary of state for home affairs, was de-
livering an optimistic speech in the
house of commons nearby regarding
the governments method Of dealing
with the wild women"
The bomb was placed beside the
famous coronation chair in Edward the
Confessor's chapel.
Although it did little damage. like
previous attempts at destruction of the
same kind. its report penetrated to the
chamber of the house, interrupting Mr..
McKenna's Grafton and bringing some
of the members into the street to learn
what had happened.
The defamation was heard for man
blocks and a crowd quickly filed the
square in front of the abbey. But the
police Immediately closed all the
doors.
a statement issued by Scotland Yard
gives the facts in most conservative
form.
AT 5 o'clock" says the statement,
"a small bomb was exploded in imme-
diate proximity to the coronation chair.
1t is supposed that some members of a
large party of sightSeers Jagged be-
hind the rest and deposited the bomb
when the others had left the chapel.
Fortunately, the damage done was
slight. A portion of the carved back
of the chair was blown off and ONE of
the stone carving of the screen of the
great altar was damaged apparently
by some iron nuts contained in the
bomb.
THE bomb, Of thin metal, nickel
plated, was exploded by a fuse. A
woman's feather boa, a guide book and
a small black silk bag were on a chair
nearby. No material damage has been
done as happily the pieces blown off
can be put together again. The police
are making inquiries in conjunction
with his majesty's inspector Of explo.
sives."
A hundred or more visitors, divided
into small parties, were being con-
Quoted by vergers about the abbey

penetrated every corner. A sharp de-
tonation set the women to screaming
and running for the doors. Some said
afterwards that the ren0rt was daaf-
ening.

GREAT DIPLOMATIC
STRUGGLE SHAPING
MEDiATORS AT NIAGARA FALLS
FACE BIGGEST OBSTACLE
TO PEACE.
MUST NOW SELECT PRESIDENT
United States Declares its Stand for.
Man Favorable to Rebels-Stated
petition at Very Outset of
Conference, il is Learned.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June Lett is
apparent that things are making for
a great struggle in diplomacy between
the United States and the Huerta gov
eminent here during the coming week.
Most important Factor.
While mediation has passed safely
over many obstacles so far, the factor
on which peace most depends-the Sc
lection Of a provisional president ac-
ceptable to all factions-has brought
the entire mediation body to a r~ealiza-
ton that ultimately on this mediation
will succeed or fail. Many names have
been suggested, but thus far none has
been found suitable. The discussion
of names will likely continue for sew
eral days.
There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of the mediators or Mexican del
egates that the American government
believes the only solution Of the pres
ent tangle is to place the executive
power in the hands OF a brCad-mindcd
Constituencies through a peaceful
negotiation rather than to have the i'll
evitable occur, military conquest of
Mexico City with the possibility Of in
ternational complications through in
juries TO foreigners.
Position of U. S.. Revealed.
In the last few days alone ma" the
American governments position been
revealed publicly, but on the highest
authority it has become known that
the United States informed the media
tors in unequivoCal language at the
very outset that it contemplated favor
ing a Constituencies for provisional
president.
If Huerta delegates were rot in
formed of this it was because the me.
diators thought they might Gissuade
the American delegates from their pur-
pose.
The American plan finally submitted
in writing TO the mediators was the
embodiment of what the american del
egates on instruction from Washington
had said in formal conversation in the
two weeks prior to the presentation OF
their proposals.

county officers into the circumstances
surrounding the death of Ella G. Win
ter, whose body was found late Monday
In Curtis Creek, ID. Meredith Reese,
Jr, the last person known to have
seen the girl alive, expressed the be-
lief that she committed suicide.
Two women friends of Miss Winter
also made statements in support of
the suicide theory.
Reese previously had declared sew
eral times that he knew of no reason
why Miss Winter should take her life.
Now. however. he says that she moro
than once had threatened to commit
suicide. His desire to protect the girl
and her family, he said, caused him
to refrain from advancing the suicide
theory before.

Washington, June Is. Predicting

CABINET MEMBERS JUB|LAN1
FAIRLY RADIATE HAPPINESS
OVER PEACE PROSPECTS.
Even President Wilson Breaks Lono
Silence and Declares Outlook
Encouraging.

Washington, June 15.-The Wash
ington government was so optimistic
over the prospects for the success oil
mediation in the Mexican imbroglio
hat members of the cabinet fairly ra,
dated j%ubilation when they left the
White House after a conference with
the president.
President Wilson broke his lone
II patient silence on the subject by
authorizing the declaration that the
outlook for mediation was very Ell,
couraginS. Not a word on the subject
has come from the chief executive for
many weeks.
Secretary Bryan was so enthused
over the outlook for peace that he
laughed with newspaper men and cab.
met members as they tarried outside
the executive Offices. The secretary of
state and Secretary Daniels traded
yarns as they patted each other on
the shoulder, and when pressed for
more serious matters they declared
that the Mexican situation was look
ing very hopeful from the viewpoint
of the United States.
Later in the day Secretary BRYAN
verified reports from Niagara Falls
that the Huerta delegates and repre-
sentatives of the United States had
had an agreement on the means by
which the transmission CT authority / N
Mexico should be conducted from
Huerta to the proposed provisional
government. The secretary said he
did not recall the exact wording of
the tentative agreement, but that a
conclusion upon this first point in dis
pute had been reached.
Mr.. Bryan declined, however, to re-
veal the details of the method pro-
posed, stating that he had no author
ity to speak for the mediators in the
first place, and secondly that he
thought 1t unwise to make public
part OF an agreement until the whole
plan had been determined.
General Carranza's latest note, for.
warded by mail to Niagara Falls. an
%nouncing his decision to send repre-
sentatives to the mediation confer
ence, was subject of most interest at
the cabinet meeting and in other of.
ficial quarters here. The White House
learned early in the day of this deci.
sion on the part of CarranZa, learning
also that the Constituencies chief.
in reaching this decision, adhered
strictly to his attitude that an armis-
tice in the campaign against Huerta
should not be required. 1t was also
learned that the note makes no men
ton of any other terms upon which
the Constitutionalist representatives
should participate in the peace con-
ference.
Word from Niagara Falls that the
mediators would not officially receive
into the conference the Carranza del.
egates unless they should agree to an
armiStice, threw no damper on the
enthusiasm of Washington govern
ment officials or their hopes for ulti-
mate peace. There were again made
in official quarters references to the
suggestion that Carranza's agents
could be unoflcially welcomed by the
American and Huerta delegates to dis
cuss plans of settlement upon which
a way might be found for all to meet
later before the mediators and a pro-
tocol eventually signed by the repre-
sentatives of the United States, Gen.
eral Huerta and the Constituencies.

Washington, June l5.-Only PTesi
dent Wilson's signature is necessary
to repeal the clause of the Panama
canal act exempting American coast
wise shipping from tolls.
House Ends Fight.
The long and bitter fight in con,
gress came to an end when the house,
after brief debate, and without the
formality of a conference, accepted by
a vote of ZIG to II the senate amend,
ment specifically reserving all rights
the United States may have under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty or other,
wise.
The president is expected tc sign
the measure at once. IL was Just q
little more than three months ago
that he addressed the house and sen.
ate in joint session, urgently asking
for repeal OF the exemption clause
that the nation might keep its treaty
obligations.
Bill Sent to Wilson.
Speaker Clark and Wee President
Marshall attached their signatures
'NiN o'Ht IL III " lhC hltt I1OuOc.
Before ending the contest by con-
curing in the senate amendment the
house voted down, ia to los, a pro-
posal advanced by Representative
Moss of West Virginia, to attach to
the repeal a fiat declaration of the
right of the United States to exempt
its vessels from tolls and of the SOW
ereignty Of the United States over
the canal zone.
During the discussion there were
flashes of heat in the debate which
characterized the original considera-
ton of the measure. Representative
Underwood, Democratic leader, al
though voting for the senate amend
ment, said that congress should never
have made this "un-American surren.
der and called the amendment lin.
effective and negative"
Mann Likes Amendment.
Republican Leader Mann, who had
vigorously opposed repeal, supported
the amendment. declaring it left the
entire question of the rights of this
country to be determined in the fu-
ture.
Representative Glass of Virginia at
tackled the Democratic leaders who CD
posed the measure. He denounced the
outrageous assaults made on the
president" by the Republicans and ex.
pressed Indignation lat the leaders of
the Democratic side who have aspers-
ed their own colleagues because they
would not follow them into the camp
of the Republican party in advocacy
of a Republican doctrine"
Twenty Democrats voted against
the motion to concur in the senate
amendment. Thirty.seven Republicans
n three Progressives joined the
Democrats in support of the motion.
