Evangelist Hills Puts the Moving of

The meetings held in the tabernacle

the Hills evangelistic campaign were

made this omrning by the executive
committee that 81 persons have hit the
trail in less than three weeks of re

At the opening of the services in
the tabernacle last evening Evangelist
Hills replied to the question, "Can
Hills Move Steelton!'' He said:
II never said | could and | never
expect to move Steelton. But the Hill
lis party, with the cooperation of the
ministers and churches and by the pow.
er of God ana the Holy Spirit, can
move Steelton. But if God is expected
to move Steelton some of the ungodly
professors of religion in the churches
must clean up and get right.
He said his eyes had been opened in
the last ten days to some of the awful
sins that were committed in Steelton.
If Steelton is to be moved some of the
leading members in the leading churches
must give up their dancing and card
parties. Those who have the devil in
their heels or a pack of cards in their
hands can do no personal work and he
would rather have them stay away
from the tabernacle then to have them
attempt to Twin souls. - 1t is no won

more respect for the devil than he had
for such Christians.
He declarei that he was depending

Have COLOR IN YOUR CHECKS
Be Better Looking - Take
Olive Tablets

If your skin is yellow-complexion
palid-tongue coated--appetite poor
you have bad taste in your mouth-a
lazy, no-good feeling-you should take
Olive Tablets.
Dir. Edwards Olive Tablets--a sub
stitute for calomel-were prepared by
DR.. Edwards after IL years of study
with his patients.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color.
If you want a clear, pink skin, bright
eyes, no pimples, feeling of buoyancy
like childhood days, You must get at
the cause.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act on
the liver and bowels like calomel-yet
have no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome CON
stipation. That's why millions of boxes
are sold annually at 10c and 25c per
box. All druggists.
Take one or two nightly and note the
pleasing results.

NINE STRIKE SETTLED
Men at Another Colliery in Wilkes
Barre District Quit Work

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, May 2O.-About
1000 mine men and boys employed by
the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Com
pany at the Maxwell and the No.
colieries of that company returned to
their work yesterday after strikes had
been in progress for several days. At
the same time 1000 men and boys en-
ployed at the Lance colliery of the
same company, located at Plymouth,
went out on button strike and are
idle to-day. Trouble is also threatened
at the Empire colliery.
The strike at No. mine was called
last week as result of the company in
augurating new checking system, and
the same cause is threatening trouble
at the Empire, where about 700 men
and boys are employed. The strike at
the Lance colliery started when a few
men refused to join the union.

THIRD JUDGE PLAN FALLS
Nissley Bill Concerning This County
Fails to Pass the Senate

The Nissley bill providing for an
additional law judge for Dauphin coun-
ty, died in the closing hours of the
Legislature.
The bill went through the House
swimmingly and got into the Senate
where it was hung up for some time
in committee 1t was finally brought
out to the light of day and got a place
on the calendar, but there it remain
ed after it reached the third reading
stage, being marked postponed for
the present.
1t might just as well have been
labeled ga dead one," for it was never
called up, and finally on to-day's cal
endar it occupied an inconspicuous
position at the bottom of all the bills.
The Senate last night passed every
bill, but when it reached the "third
judge measure, it halted about 2
O'Clock this morning and adjourned,
and with the adjournment the Nissley
bill died.
1t is understood that the contention
that it was looked upon with disfavor
by the judges of Dauphin is what con-
tributed to the downfall of the meas
ure.

Wheels and the World.

The history of the evolution of loco
motion as we'll as an infnity of other
studies of the keenest interest could
all be centered in the wheel.
Without wheels we should have no
watches, no steering at sea. We should
be unable to utilize the waterfalls as
motor force, nor should we have hun
dreds of other things of the utmost at
traction and utility.
All our modern civilization has come
to US on wheels All we know about
other countries, all the commerce we
have established throughout the world
and our means of wealth we owe to
the wheel 1t is difficult to imagine
what the world would come to if sud-
denly all wheels vanished from our
midst. No war, no famine, no revolu-
ton. could be one-hundredth part as
effectual in putting us back centuries
as the lack of wheels.
The romance of wheels has gone,
never to return again. Wheels are
now looked upon merely as accesso-
ries, whirling indifferently. faster and
faster, but practically ignored.

Billy Sullivan, a native of Fort Atkln-

1t was surprise to his many friends

feet that he was to manage the second
team on the 1915 training trip. Billy
was born in Fort Atkinson and played
ball in this locality for number of
years. He won fame because of his
terrific hitting. Many times he sent
the ball sailing from the home plate at
Jones' park to the railroad track. He
broke into the big league with Boston
in 1899. He was the kid member of
the catching staff and although that
was a pretty tough position for the
youngster, he made good. In 1901 he

On Thursday morning, Feb. 18th, at
1915 occurred the death of Mrs. Ida
Mode, nee Steffen, at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs. John Schmaeling of Al
bion. This death breaks up the happy
life of one of the town of Oakland S
oldest couples, leaving the aged hus-
band of 81 years alone. Having come
to Oakland in 1867, the couple were
among the pioneers OF the town. Ihey
resided on their homestead just south
of the Rockdale road, about four miles
west of the Fort, until 1909, when they
moved to live with their daughter. On
Sept. 20, 1911, they celebrated their
golden anniversary in the midst of their
children and grandchildren. During the
last two years various infirmities due
to old age began to impair the rugged
health of Mrs. Mode. On Monday OF
last week a severe attack OF bowel
trouble set in and this brought about
the end shortly after midnight on Feb.
18th. She was just 78 years old. Mrs.
Mode was born February 10. 1897, at
Schievelbein, Pommerania, Germany,
as the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Steffen. On Sept. 20, 1861, she mar
ried Carl Mode Two children, Bertha
and Herman, were born to them, the
latter having died in 1909. She is sur
vived by her aged and invalid husband,
one daughter, and step-son, besides
large number of grandchildren.

Early Hand Guns.

When Edward ". returned to Eng
land, in 1471. ten years after he sue
ceeded to the throne, he obtained some
forces from his brother-in-law, the Duke
of Burgundy, including 300 Flemings
armed with hand guns, thus being the
first to introduce these weapons into
England. Afterward they became COM
mon. At first they were fired by the
application of a lighted match to the
touchhoIe by the hand. The match was
a wick lighted and pressed against the
powder in the pan. The invention of a
lock to fire the powder in place of the
hand was suggested by the trigger of
the crossbOw The matchbox fired the
arquebus, or harquebus, used by the
soldiers of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, in projecting a ball which
weighed nearly two ounces.-London

brought by portly man against lit

the case. After half an hour the jury
was called and asked if a verdict had

He Saw the Battle.

There were no war correspondents in
Wellington's time, but that his attitude
toward such would have been friendly
may be judged by a story told by Lady
Doronthy Nevill.
At Waterloo the duke noticed little
man in plain clothes, mounted on a
sturdy cob, who rode hither and thither
in the thick of the fight. He had him
brought to him to demand his business.
whereupon the man explained that he
was travelling for a Birmingham button
maker and, CHANGING to be in Brussels
and never having seen a battle, he was
taking the opportunity OF seeing this
one. Wellington not only allowed him
to continue his observations, but pres
emily trusted him with a dispatch for
one of his generals in the firing line.
The safe delivery of the message was
rewarded, in more peaceful times, by a
comfortable government appointment.
