at Rice Farm Tonight.

This week is being observed bv the
First Methodist church as Church Week,
with special fall rallies on successive
days of the week. The opening event
was leaders meeting last evening in
the vestry. The officials from nearly
every department of the church were
present, to listen to a review of the work
of the past six months, and to view the
prospects of the fall and winter. Judg-
ing from the reports of last evening, and
the spirit which pervaded the occasion,
the church bids fair to have a very prof
liable year of service.
After the singing of hymns, and
prayer by the pastor, the Sunday school
Superintendent, S. A. Daniels, reported
on the work of the Sunday school. He
pointed out that the school missed the
goal set for the past six months by bare
half-point in attendance. This proved
encouraging enough so that a new goal
has been set. George ]. Perkins reported
for the All-Men's class. and Mrs. T.. p.
Smith for the Attainers class. Miss Min
ME Rawson spoke on the prospects for
the Junior department.
Philip Wheeler, president of the Ep-
worth league, outlined the work of the
fall and winter. Plans include service
at 6 o'clock every Sunday evening.
The Woman's Missionary society was
represented by Mrs. c. L. Wyman. Mrs.
Eliza Adams, president of the Ladies'
Ala SOclety. SDOke DfleHS oI the FepdirS
which the ladies had made on the par
sOnage, and of the winters work. The
church proper was represented by three
speakers, DR. Wheeler, who reported the
finances in a little better shape than AS
ual, Erwin =. Smith, who reported the
income from the centenary subscriptions,
and the pastor, who reported 16 acces-
sions to membership the past six months.
Light refreshments were served, and the
event closed hv the singing of BleSt BE
the Tie that Binds.
The second event of Church week is
to be the young peoples rally at the Rice
farm tonight. Between 70 and 100
Young people have, been given personal
invitations to attend. Autos are to leave
the church at o'clock, arriving at the
farm in time for a hot supper.

confident she would be acquitted.
At the trial of Mrs. Eva Catherine Ka-
ber. the girls mother, who was convicted

ing of the talesmen, Miss McArdle's at
tifude was in almost direct contrast to
that of her mother when the latter was
on trial Miss McArlle to all outward
appearance was the most pneaneerned
individual in the courtroom. She gazed
about the courtroom at the crowd of
spectators and occasionally smiled at the
prospective jurors.

cause of Mild Winter, and Amount

several carloads notified the company to-
day that their supply is nearly exhausted
and that they may not be able to fur
nish ice more than another week or so.
Wholesalers and retailers everywhere
are facing a shortage and unless the use
is curtailed the consumers Will find them
selves later without any.
When asked why the shortage was so
acute one of the Crystal Sprigs proprie-
tors said that during the month of July
this year, which was unusually hot. the
ice in the companys houses shrunk in
volume very materially, also that the bus
mess done that month was exceptionally
large
Besides this the company harvested
about 500 tons less than usual. on ac-
count of the mild, open winter. the sup.
ply in the last two houses being but
seven inches thick. whereas the usual
thickness is from II to Is inches.
There has been no advance in the retail
price. and will not be for the present
at least.
