unsettled as at present Senators Dill

Greene have declared that they are not
candidates, and no one has intimated
that Representative Dale would be con
sidered as delegate The Reformer
has contended that man of national
reputation ought to head the deiega-
tion, and this state is fortunate in
having a man like Theodore y. Vail

CHANCE.

Eddyyille, March 17.-(Special Cor
respondence) -Eddyville has never

stirred up to fight on the Lords side
as she Is now having. Everyone has
to show his or her colors and every
night brings people face to face with
the question of their souls salvation
Prof. Cheek, the chorus director, lie
also soloist and gives the gospel in
song every evening. Last night Evan.
gelist Phelps spoke earnestly on the
Lost Sheep" He says folks are just
like sheep in some ways. They wan.
der away from the fold, not wilfully,
but unconscious Of the fact that they
are estray until darkness and cold, and
calamity have overtaken them. Then
it is that Christ, the shepherd, fulfills
his mission. He came to seek and to
save that which was lost. The bible
story of the lost sheep Is one of the
most beautiful pen pictures to be
found. In fact, Rev. Phelps pointed to
the fact last night that the bible con-
tains the greatest works Of literature
ever written. 1t has the greatest de-
mands and the greatest love stories
between it's covers. It is tho only book
which tells us from whence we came

FROM THE BORDER
OTTUMWAN IN ARMY SAYS SOL
DlERS ARE GLAD TO GO
AFTER VILLA.

The following is an excerpt from a
letter received by Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert Lumsdon, 225 Fairview avenue,
from their son, Fred, who is stationed
at Brownsville, Tex, and shows the
temper Of the soldiers:
Brownsville, Tex,
March II, 1916.
Dearest Mother and Father:
received your last letter and was
very glad to hear from you. Villa is
at it again and it looks as though we
will all get a chance to go down and
get him. Every one of us and thou
sands of civilians are just waiting for
the word. To tell you the truth, when
I came into the army I was not bit
afraid and still think that am the
same way. Those dirty rascals are
sure mean. rguess you all read of
what kind of work they did over at
Columbus, N. M, the other day. Will
son has played the white man with
them long time but think and hope
he has taken enough from them this
time.
If we go down there is no doubt but
what we will endure good many
hardships but I don't know one of
US who Is not willing to go with old
Fred Funston to the end of the rope.
I don't want any of you to worry one
bit about me for I sure think that if
we go down there We can take care
Of ourselves. Don't you? We are
learning their game of dirty fighting
and can play their game as well as
our own, SO please don't any OF you
worry about me as we are not worry.
Fred.
