HINDU PO|sONERs'
 WHOLESALE WORK
Nearly Forty Murderers. Before h.
 Was Discovered.

CALCUTTA, June 2O.-An amazing story of deliberate crime on the part of a Hindu peasant farmer is report ed from the Aurungabad district of the Nzan's domfnions. A mahratta cultivator named Reghee having learned nine years ago that Gatura seeds when smoked and eaten were poisonous, set to work systematically to practice the effect of his discovery on villagers at bazaars and else where.
 During the intervening period he has effected between thirty and for ty murders in the Nasik and Aurun- gabad districts by surreptitiously in : troducing the smoked seed into uishes of food. The police were en- tirely nonpiussed and ascribed the recurring murders to a gang Of thugs.1They eventually traced the crime through Raghoo's failure to dispose, of wagons the drivers of which he had poisoned by placing his novious preparation in their food.

discrimination as to rank. Any Off
cial or employe who has been with
the company over twenty years was
so rewarded.
w. P. Cowan, president OF the COM
papy, entered the service as a ship
ping clerk in 1877. He received one
of the, "In Recognition of Service"
badges.
Conrad Schmittel, pumpman, has
been with the company thirty-eight
years. He is the Oldest man on the
roll in point Of service. He also re-
ceived a medal. 1t was an exact
counterpart OF that received by the

MUSIC COMMITTEE
PLANS ALL MADE
Carols Are Selected Which Will be
Sung at Exercises on Post
office Lawn on Christ
mas Night.
TO INVITE ALL WHO SING
Committee Wants Everyone Familiar
With This Music to Join the
Band Of SINCERE VIII
Rehearse Sunday.

A great deal Of work has been done
in preparation for the community
program Christmas night, on the
postoffIce lawn.
The members Of the committee on
music for the community tree are
Mrs. Leonard Matless, Frank e. Full
er and P. G. Hayden, chairman. After
several conferences arrangements
have been made as follows: The COM
mittee has selected four standard
hymns and carols. which will be sung
by male chorus as follows: 20 Come
all .Ye Faithful" ct Came Upon the
Midnight Clear" 'sWhile the Shep-
herds Watched Their Flocks," and 20
Little Town Of Bethlehem" 1t will
take less than fifteen minutes to sing
these four carols so that the program
at the tree will be short one.
There will be no general rehearsal
of the singers. but all the people,
young and old who know these fcmil-
lar Christmas carols are invited to
join with the singers in these songs
expressing the beautiful Christmas
sentiments.
Copies OF the music have been
given to the leaders OF most of the
choirs in the city that the members
may look them over in advance OF
their performance, and doubtless
many of the choirs will sing over
such as they are least familiar with.
The children in the schools from the
sixth grade up through the high
school will be invited to assist the
adult singers so that there should be
at least six hundred singers, who have
had the music in their hands and
most of whom have had an opportun-
ity to rehearse 1t good many times.
Accompaniment Secured.
Arrangements have been made to
have a substantial accompaniment
consisting OF four comets, four clari-
nets. two trombones and two BASES,
to furnish four part Accomplishments
to all the songs. The band will be
under the direction of Mr.. w. c. Kun
mer, who wednesday night was cleo
ted leader of the Citizens band.
The committee wishes to give the
impression very distinctly that every
one who knows any of these songs is
urged to take part in their singing,
even if they have never rehearsed.
The words will be thrown on screen
on the operta house wall SO the songs
may be in~view of all the audience.
To further accommodate singers
who are not in any Of the choirs,
copies of tie carols will be left at
Piggott's music store, and such sing
/ rs are invited to stop there and get
a copy Of the music. 1t is the hope
OF the executive committee as well as
the music committee that the exer-
cises at thestree may be most emphat-
ically an expression Of general COM
muntty feeling, and they wish to have
II thoroughly and generally under
stood it Is not merely for trained
! singers who have had special prac-
tice, but that everyone who gathers
about th.. tree is invited and urged to
sing every word of the songs with
which they are familiar.
