Poorly Attended Preliminary
Sunday" Meetings.
THOMAS WOULD AROUSE THEM

The ardor and enthusiasm of
Omaha ministers concerning the COM
ing of Billy Sunday was unintention-
ally dampened Monday morning by
Elmer E. Thomas and other speak
ers at the last regular meeting of the
season hold by the Ministerial union
at the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation.
Thomas told the preachers that there
was a hereculean job ahead of them;
that II was entirely up to the pastors
to make the BILLY Sunday revival sue
cess or failure; that Billy Sunday thinks
Omaha is tough soil and hard field"
that the preachers must set Omaha afire
before Billy Sunday comes. or else his
revival will not be successful; that the
ministers Will get an awful tongue LASH
ing If they don't make the enterprise
go;" that the Billy Sunday campaign
meetings have so far been only perfume
tory and have not reached the core OF
the situation; that the laymen have not
yet been Interested that the prayer
meetings have been discontinued that
"Billy Sunday is worn out and leg
weary" that the preachers are "off on
the wrong foot" and that there is enor-
nous discomfort in the hearts of the min
isters"

The listening pastors were made to
squirm in their seats by Thomas men
ton OF the zeal and success of the Nor
mon church, as compared to some other
churches. He continued:
1T is only ton weeks before Eilly
comes. l don't know what can be done,
but something must be done. II is up to
the preachers"
The union voted to hold special meet
ings in July and August to promote the
Billy Sunday campaign, instead Of ad-

planned.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 21.-More
than 1000 persons gathered in mass
meeting in the capitol grounds and
passed a resolution condemning
Governor Slaton's action in COM
muting Leo NJ. Franks sentence to
life imprisonment today. The crowd
then marched to "Five Points," in
the business center of the city, and,
after a short halt, went to the city
hall. There several arrests were
made after mounted police and pa
trolmen had made futile efforts TO
disperse the demonstrants.
Mounted police succeeded in keeping the
crowd separated somewhat by riding in
rings, rounding up the demonstrants into
small detnchments.
The governors decision was announced
barely twenty-four hours before the
time set for Franks execution for the
murder Of Mary PhaEan. and after he
had been taken secretly from the Fulton
county Jail to the state prison farm at
Milledgeville.
At the mass meeting in the capitol
grounds a speaker admonished everyone
present to march to Five Points as a
demonstration against the governors
action.
Extra police were set TO patrol the
streets early in the day. Near beer
saloons and clubs dispensing liquor were
ordered closed. Previous to the demon
stration at Five Points five arrests. in

Bravery of the Relaians.

When Caesar in his commentaries"
pronounced the Belgae the bravest of
all the Gauls he was merely recording
the reputation that they had earned on
many a battlefield and which they
maintained even in defeat. Caesar
overwhelmed more than a quarter of
a million of them in the year 81 B. c.
on the banks of the Aisne After the
crushing defeat on the Aisne several
tribes. headed by the Nervii made a
last stand ON the Sa1nbre. taking the
offensive against the Roman legions
and very nearly defeating them by the
intensity of their onslaught. But the
training and discipline of Rome saved
Caesar, and the final result of the he
roic resistance of the Nervii was their
practical annihilation. Their peace
emissaries said. "Of 600 senators we

The grist mill at Moore's Landing at

completed. 1t will be running before
the first of December. All the ma
chinery is on the ground except the
smut machine which is now on the
way. The machinery is equal to that
used in the Sank Centre mill, being
the best manufactured, so that
Moore's mill will be equally as good
as any in the state in proportion to
its capacity. Two run of stone are
being put in at present and more will
be added as the requirements of the
country demand them. This will be
great benefit to the settlers of the
county of Todd and will hasten the

LETTER
Special Correspondence to the Sank Centre Herald

openings at either side showing a
fluffy petticoat beneath.
Costumes and suits show the nor
NAL and high waistline, but are dis
tinctly different from the old-time
Empire lines. The real Empire line
is decidedly ugly with the full skirt,
but the slightly raised waistline ac-
companying the full short skirt, is
much more artistic than the long
wasted blouses and these same full
skirts.
The length of the suit, jacket or
coat must also be considered in rela-
ton to the length of the skirt. Note
my second illustration and the placing
of he belt at a short waistline, be-
meath which the lower part of the
jacket shows moderate fulness. The
skirt below is full and slightly f1aring.
A decidedly new note in the Spring
styles is the change in the collars of
waists and dresses. The military or
high buttoned-up effects will doubt
less be the most in evidence. The
square or Dutch is excellent for Sum-
mer frocks, and also the newer Cal
lot neck, which is similar. The droop-
ed shoulder lines of ante-bellum days
is the latest novelty in with fichus OF
net and yokes of lace or embroidery
The square or Dutch neck is shown
in my first illustration, which is de-
veloped in soft tan crepe. This is ar
unusually good model for dresses OF
different fabrics, such as rep, pique
linen or cotton gabardine.
The long close-ftting sleeve with
small armhole is the favorite at pres
ent. The half sleeve of one color sanc
the under-sleeve of another is an ex'
tremely effective idea adopted from
the Slavic peasant costume. In BLACK
and white chiffon it is both striking
and attractive.
Very short sleeves, directly trace
able to the long shoulder line and thu
1880 period, are quaint and charming
