Methodist Church Notes.
Special preparations had been made
for Easter, which filed the day with
delightful services. The pulpit plat
form was modestly, but pleasingly,
decorated with plants and flowers.
The large congregation present gave
added inspiration to DR.. Senseney for
his strong sermon on the theme, "The
Victory of Christ Over Death" The
choir Of thirty voices gave the Halle
lujah Chorus" from Handel's "Mes-
siah." Mr.. and Mrs. Sibbert, Miss
Heiden and Professor VanNess form
ed c quartet singing 20, Holy Easter
Morn," by Chapman. The organ num-
bers by Miss Laub were especially
fine, adding much to the dignity and
joyousness of the Easter celebration.
The Sunday school hour was given
over to study of the properly appoint
ed Easter lesson. At the $50 Ep-
worth League service Prof. c. E.
Humphrey, aside from giving the
young people some splendidly helpful
and suggestive remarks, presented
primary Easter thoughts in pointed
sermonette, which was most attent-
lively received. Miss Edna Wright
sang an appropriate solo. In the eve

A. B. Reesberg, the tailor, has en-
gagged the services of three more tail
ors in order to help out with the
spring rush. Mr. Reesberg has built
up an enviable business since coming
to Denison and is certainly making
good. At present he is working under
difficulties on account of cramped
quarters, but expects to have every
thing in first class shape when he
moves into his new room in the op-
era house building.

Mr.. VIM. Lueck, of Union township,
was brought to Denison Monday to
appear before the insane commission.
After a careful examination he was
judged insane and was taken to Cla-
rinda that afternoon, Deputy Sheriff
James, O'Meara accompanying him.
Mr.. Lueck is a man about so years of
age and up until recently has been in
the best of health, He had been
cared for by members of his family
until recently, when he became so
violent that it was necessary to hand
cuff him a greater part of the time
to keep him from doing violence to
those about him. The case is sad
one and relatives are very much
grieved. 1t is hoped that his condi-
tion may be improved by treatment
at Clarinda and that he may be able
to return to his home at future date.

DRAINAGE DITCH
CASE IS STARTED
Number of Farmers Start Suit Against
County Because Of Assessment
Levied by the Board.
PRAhscHkE WILL CASE SETTLED
Case of Louie Green VS. c. c. Cooper
Results in Verdict in Favor
of Mr.. Cooper

District court is grinding away on
the last week of the term and few
cases left over from last week are be-
ing disposed of. These cases might
have been tried before jury, but on
account of the pressure of jurymen to
get home they were excused and
juries waived and the cases are be-
ing tried to the court.
At the time of going to press last
week the Pranschke will contest was
up for trial and the afternoon was
spent in selecting jury, but before
the case was reached for trial and
the evidence commenced settlement
was effected and the parties returned
to their homes happy and contented.
The first case for trial before the
court this week was that of Louie
Green VS. c. c. Cooper, the action hav-
ing been brought to replevin certain
parts of automobiles in the warehouse
at Charter Oak which Mr.. Cooper had
appropriated to secure himself on a
claim for rent. The trial resulted in
the court finding Mr.. Cooper's claim
amounted to $2S.00 and judgment was
rendered for this amount. The costs
in the case amounted to perhaps more
than the judgment recovered.
Another case which was called for
trial on Tuesday afternoon was that
of Gillett VS. Bartlett, which was an
action brought by Mr.. Gillett to re-
cover on claim for services for
something over $10O. The evidence
was introduced and the case taken
under advisement by the court and
at the time the paper is going to
press judgment has not been rend-
cred by the court.
A case of considerable importance
as affecting the interests of a number
of farmers in the county was started
a few days ago against the board of
supervisors of the county and the
county treasurer. The case grows
out of an assessment levied by the
board of supervisors on the property
embraced in the drainage district in
which the Boyer ditch was dug from
near Arion west to the county line.
A 80 per cent assessment was made

DENIS0N CHURCH
GOlNGLITTLECITY
Easter Sunday Was Record Breaker
in Point Of Attendance at the
Different. Church Of City.
THE CHURCH NEWS IN GENERAL
Baptist Denomination Much EIated
at Increased Attendance-Pres-
byterian and Methodist Notes

If one is concerned about Denison
as q church going town all that will
be necessary to demonstrate that
such is the case will be to observe
what has taken place during the last
few weeks. The special effort made
some time ago to induce people gen.
rally t, attend church for one Sunday
is bearing splendid fruit, because
many of those who yielded to the per-
suasion and attended church at that
time are continuing to attend
Sunday was record breaking day
for Easter Sunday. The churches in
the city were generally crowded with
people, most of whom reside here,
and in addition a number of strang-
ers in the city found their way to the
churches. This all speaks well for
Denison, because it can have no bet
ter record than of church going
city. It proves the moral atmosphere
in Denison is desirable.
We think as rule people who are
contemplating change of residence
from the country to the city would
prefer to move into CITY where
there is a good moral atmosphere
ard we have no doubt but What a
great many families have come to
Denison prompted by this reason
alone. Parents prefer to raise their
:;,ii.iren where -!,cy feel tast the
SUI. roundings are such as not to lead
them astray and Drnison is such q
place.
The church influence here has al
ways been strong, and it never was
better than it is today, and there
were never a larger per cent of our
people attending church than now.
If the world is to be judged by what
is taking place in Denison, it is safe
to say that the world is growing bet
ter.

Lieut.. Porte Impressive.

one cannot spend day with Lieut.
Porte IN the quiet little village OF Ham
mondsport without coming away with the
impression that this tall big boned Irish
naval officer means business when he
says he will travel through the air from
Newfoundland TO his native land In
twenty hours, No one acquainted with
the facts doubts that the start will be
made. but THE Sun representative has
found very few whose enthusiasm runs
50 high that they actually believe he will
succeed.
Lieut.. Porte knows he can do It. Glenn
II. Curtiss, the constructor. believes that
the chances for success are favorable,
yet long experience with gasolene motors
and flying machines has taught him that
the element of chance may turn against
them even with the goal in sight, Neither
of them believes that Lieut.. Porte and his
flying partner will be killed even II the
machine should drop In mldocean. Every
possible precaution has been taken against
that.

Capt Baldwin has made arrangements
for his company to take the agency for

times appeared almost hopeless, but when
the break came all restraint was thrown
aside and dignified women, middle aged
