PUTS BAN
ON BOOZE
Secretary Of Navy Put Officers In
Common CIass-IIlinOis WO-
men Get Busy.

Washington, April 6.-Absolute pro-
hibition will prevail in the United
States navy after July 1. Secretary
Daniels today published a sweeping
order, which not only will abolish ira
ditional wine mess" of the officers,
but will bar all alcoholic liquors from
every ship and shore station Of the
navy.
Besides abolishing what is known
as the officers wine mess on board
ship and the sale Of liquor at the Off
GER clubs on shore, Mr.. Daniels or
der is so sweeping as practically to
enforce total abstinence upon naval
officers for extended periods.
It will henceforth be violation Of
the order for any officer or guest
upon any naval vessel to have in his
possession any alcoholic beverage.
Officers living on shore will be pro-
hibited from having any liquor in
their private homes if their duties re-
quire their residence on naval reser-
vations. Wives of officers so situated
will be prohibited from serving
punches or any other form of liquor
at their social functions.

UNDER THE
HAMMER
Famous Old Hotel, Sold by the
Sheriff, Bid In Bank Holding
Claim Against II.

The historic old Ellis House, at the
corner of Main and Livingston streets,
was sold last Tuesday at Sheriff's sale to
Citizens Banking Company for 81 800,
and the p. A. Ellis residence property,
on East Livingston street, sold at the
same time, was bid in by Butcher John
Schuyler for 81, $50.
The hotel property was appraised at
81 900 and the residence property at
So, 900.
The Citizens Bank held mortgage
notes against Mr.. Ellis on these proper
ties, and brought suit in foreclosure.
There were no other bidders for the
hotel property and they consequently
had to bid it in to save their judgment.
1t is the finest hotel site in the city
and it is hoped that the present
year will see the beginning of the erec-
ton of modern hotel building, so long
needed in this city.
The house will likely continue under
the management of the Ellis brothers
until some definite action is taken by the
new ownership. No better or more pop
ular and painstakiug hotel men ever en-
gagged in the business than the Ellis
boys, and it is doubtful if two men could
be found who could have carried on a
business so successfully as they, handi-
capped by building that would have
driven most any set of men to the woods.
1t would please the people of Celina i'm
mensely if they and some of our wide
awake business men could get together
and erect a structure that Celina could
point to with pride. 1t can be done
and it should be done. Men of Celina,
wake up!

PROF. COTTERMAN
FAVORED FOR JOB
Dean of County Teachers Being
Urged to Announce for COun-
ty Superintendent.

Prof. S. Cotterman, for several years
at the head of the Rockford schools, and
the best known educator of the county, is
frequently mention for the new Office Of
County Superintendent Of the public
schools, recently created by the Legisla-
ture in an attempt to built up the rural
schools. Mr.. Cotterman is a prime IA
vorite with the teachers of the county,
and they know him from personal con-
tact. He has been a member of the
County Board of Examiners for years
and his conduct has always met appro-
baton. The teachers of the county
surely honor themselves in pushing him
to the front. He is worthy any honor
people can bestow, and if he will allow
his name to be used there will be no op-
position to his nomination and probably
none on election day No man in the
county is better fitted to undertake the
great work of the Office.

Proprietor J. A. Hoagland, of the Tav-
ern, was the victim of forger a week
ago, when he cashed bogus draft for
so The forger had registered at the
hotel as G.. +. Hess, of Pemsboro, Ohio,
and spent several days here.
A few minutes before the 4:22 Western
Ohio ear arrived Monday afternoon, the
30th, the man hurried into the Tavern
and asked Mr. Hoagland to cash draft
for $40, Accommodating John readily re-
sponded and the fellow left to catch his
car, twenty dollars of Mr.. Hoagland' S
money in his jeans.
Last Saturday Mr.. Hoagland received
the joyous O. tidings that the draft was
a forgery.
Investigation then disclosed that on
the afternoon of the 30th the fellow pre-
sented two drafts at the First National
Bank, drawn on a Carlo bank, and sign
ed by G.. Il. Hess as cashier. The hold
er represented that he was the cashier OF

Whole Of Northern Mexico Now Prae-
tloally Denuded Of Its Spanish Pop
ulatlon-Refugees Likely To Be
Admitted to the United States

What the ExlIes Have to Say.
El Paso. Tex. April 9.-Seven hun
dred Spanish exiles arrived here
from Torreon. With their arrival,
northern Mexico is practically strip
ped Of It's entire Spanish population.
which a few years ago numbered
thousands.
The expulsion OF the Spaniards is
the result OF one Of the first acts Of
Pancho villa after he had captured
Torreon. The work of clearing the
streets Of corpses had not yet been
completed before the order expelling
the Spaniards from Torreon was
given. Only "a hours was given to
the unfortunates to secure meager
personal belongings and go to the
station, where. under heavy guard,
they entrained and we're hurried to
the border.
The refugees were greeted at the
bridge here by friends and relatives,
who offered sympathy. Most Of these
had preceded their friends but few
weeks, victims of Villas wrath when
Chihuahua fell.
The story of one is the story Of all.
Leon Zola, one Of the expelled Span.
fish residents of Torreon, said: "a
great injustice has been done. Hun.
dreds Of people whose only desire is
to be left in peace so that they can
make an honest living have been
stripped Of all their possessions and
exiled to a foreign land. The order
deporting us came within few hours
after villa entered the city. We had
all gone to the American consulate
for protection. Consul Ulmer was in
charge. General Villa ordered our
immediate expulsion"
Next to the land confiscated, prob
Spaniards was the cotton crop.
When the Spanish left Torreon there
was more than $3,000,000 worth of
cotton ready for market. The Span
iards are planning to have legal ac-
ton taken against anyone who inn.
ports the cotton through the custom
house here and the title to the cot
ton will be settled in the state courts.

FIGHTING AT TAMPICO
Warshlps Afford a Place Of Refuge
For Foreigners.

Washington, April 8. - Americans
and other foreigners at Tampico are
threatened again owing to the re-
sumption of fighting between federals
and rebels in that vicinity.
The international naval squadron
at Tampico began taking foreigners
on board the warships, for the sec
ond time affording a place of refuge
from fighting at Tampico. Admiral
Fletcher has ordered the hospital
ship Solace, now at New Orleans, to
get up steam in preparation for re-
turning to Tampico to assist in
caring for the large number of refu-
gees who must be looked out for in
the event of fighting being brought
within the city limits.
Admiral Mayo reported to the
navy department from Tampico that
the fighting began outside Tampico
and continued for hours without
either side gaining any important
advantage. The clash occurred on
the Altamira road, beyond the fed
eral trenches.

THE MEANING OF
THE RESURRECTION.
BY CARDINAL GIBBONS.

The resurrection Of Christ 10
the most signal and splendid
evidence OF his divinity. II is
the keystone in the arch OF faith,
as il is the most brilliant lumi-
nary IN the constellation Of
Christian festivals.
A certain religious enthusiast
named LeberauS once submitted
to Talloyrand a project he en-
tertained Of founding a new re-
ligion and asked the French
statesman's views as TO the
feasibility OF the undertaking.
"You will certainly succeed" re-
piled Talleyrand. land your
name will go down with glory to
posterity II you fulfill the con-
ditions which / propose" "And
what are they7" eagerly IN
quired the visitor. "You must
first suffer, be seourged and cru
cited and then rise on the third
day. Do this and your success
is assured" This reply eNtin-
auished the zeal Of the would be
reformer. The moral of the
witty Frenehman's remark is
that as Christ alone. after en-
tering the portals Of the tomb,
returned by his own power TO
life he is without a rival. He
alone has made good his claim
to found a new religion and to
merit the supreme alteration Of
mankind.

WHAT WOMEN DID
Eleven Hundred Saloons Wiped Out
In Illinois.


Chicago, April 9.-Women's first
use Of the ballot in Illinois worked
radical changes. Complete returns
show that suffrage votes in the cleo
ton drove 1,100 saloons out of Illi-
nois and added great strength to the
nonpartisan movement in Chicago
politics. "Votes for women" added
19 counties to the dry column, now
numbering 48 in Illinois, and several
large cities will close their saloons.
With but few exceptions, the male
vote alone in these cities and town
ships favored the vets, the women
voting heavily against the saloons.
In few cities, however, women
helped swell the majority in favor of
retaining the saloon.
