CHEATER IS VICTIM
OF OWN ACTIVITIES
EVANGELIST STATES

The man who cheats, cheats him
self more than anybody else
The man who leads double life is
his own victim"
The wrong done in secret will keep
gnawing at the soul of the doer as
long as it is secret, and the day will
come when men will find it out as
God already knows it,
God sets no standard short OF per-
lection, and while it Is sad fact that
all OF us have things in our lives that
We would be ashamed to have known,
still with His help we may be moving
on towards that perfection"
These are some of the pointed
things said by Rev. F. G. Kenny In
his sermon on The All-Seeing Eye of
God" at the First Baptist church last
night.
One of the noticeable features of
the meetings is the constant attend
ance of a number of members Of other
churches, who say they cannot afford
to miss the help they get from the
messages. Another feature is the i'm
pressive solos of Mrs. Kenneth Foster.
Mr. Kenny is in Indianapolis attend
ing a funeral today. but will be back
in time for the meeting at 1880 to-
night.

Rev. W. R. Motley, former pastor OF

bors have adopted the following
recommendation and sent it to the

In recommending Mr. and Mrs w
r. Motley and family to their new
friends and neighbors:
I'VE think they are the finest PEG
pie we ever lived by, they have lived
next door to us ever since they came
to Richmond IS months ago, and we
think they have been the most use
full and hardest working family We
have ever known in any church. In
fact, their greatest aim in life is to
do good ad do the Lords Work and
do 1t well. They have almost wore
themselves out trying to keep their
church up in the Masters work, and
they have the talent to do so, but they
had some poor help so that made the
work fall harder on them. We know
our loss will be some others gain
so trusting the Lord has opened more
pleasant field for them where their
work will be appreciated, we reamin

BAvIS SENDS COUNCIL
NOTE ON CITY'S DEBT

In communication sent by the
board of public works to every mem
Der of the city council today 1t is
shown that even If a $4,000 bond is
sue to motorize the fire department
and to purchase a police ambulance
patrol be issued. the city will be, after
November, $62,907 inside its legal in
debtedness limit.
THE board of public works desires
to place before you for your individual
consideration comparative statement
of conditions as between January.
1914. and January, 1917.
When the present administration
assumed office there were outstanding
bonds to the amount of $1s1 500. which
included $3.50 city plant bonds.
Bonds Total $296,5oo.
There are now outstanding bonds
clude $4,000 city plant bonds and
$17,500 park bonds, the latter to be
paid off in November of this year.
January /, 1917. our bonded debt,
as compared with January /, 1914, will
be as follows:
This shows that on January 1. next
year, our bonded debt will be $97, 900
in excess of what it was January /,
1914.
Exclusive of the city plants bonded
Indebtedness the city's bonded debt
January l, 1917, in comparison to that
of January /. 1914, will be: 1914, $24,-
500; 1917: 100000, or an increase Of
$17.500
when you consider the amount of
improvements made during the past
two years, plus $4,000 for fire and
police department betterments. pro-
posed and figured into these estimates,
a bonded debt of only $17,500 in ex-
cess of what it was January I, 1914,
gives no occasion for alarm; on the
contrary, it reveals a condition we
might feel proud of. AS you know the
city plants bonded indebtedness will
be cared for by the plant itself.
Limit is $351,eo7.
1.-THE total assessed valuation of tax
ables in this city on December 81,
1915, was $17,595,439. The legal limit
of municipal Indebtedness is two per
cent of that amount, giving us a debt
contracting limit of 1851, 907: duduct
| ing the present outstanding bonds,
both city and plant, $296,500, we have
margin of $55,407 at the present
time. After November of this year the
margin will be increased to $72,907,

HAROLD PROMISES
CITY centennial

Richmond will not be without a
centennial celebration this year.
Announcement to this effect was
made by DIR. I. 8. Harold. president
of the Wayne County Old Trails asso-
citation, today. Because of repeated
failure of the committees and organ
izations to formulate plans, DR.. Har
old said a movement, independent OF
any existing committees, was on foot
to insure an observance of the state
and city's hundredth birthday ami
versary.
1t is probable that the celebration
will be incorporated in the list of &C
tivities undertaken by the Old Trails

Ell PASO. April 6.-For some unex-
planned reason. General Gavira, Car
ranza's commander at Juarez, today
indefinitely postponed the execution OF
three men who had been sentenced to
death for plotting revolutionary up
rising that had for its aim the capture
OF Juarez and re-establishing of Villa.

Rio Grand from Ell Paso
A firing squad was ready to carry
out the sentence of death, and In their
musty cells the three convicted men
awaited the summons to march out to
the adobe wall already marked by
hundreds of bullets, when General Ga
yira issued his order OF delay.
In addition to the three men already
doomed to death, two dozen others
are awaiting military trial which will
decide whether they, too, shall fill one
OF the shallow graves that dot the
pages of Mexican history. Officers OF
the Gavira staff said today that there
was conclusive evidence against all
the prisoners that they had shared in
the conspiracy which was discovered
less than twenty-four hours before the
revolt was to occur, and that execution
would be the lot Of all.
The uprising was to have taken
place Sunday, but one Of the plotters
talked too freely to a woman, and she
betrayed the conspiracy. The three
men whose execution was set for 6
O'Clock this morning, but who were
saved by Gavira's postponement, are
declared to have been the ring leaders
in the plot.
They are Nicholas Chavirrfa, form
