have been living in Muskogee, Okla
homa, for several years, arrived in
Manchester Tuesday morning, and will
soon be settled in the Congrega-
tional parsonage. Rev. Mr.. Moore ac-
cepted the call of the local church,
to succeed Rev. III. l.. Goughnour, as
pastor and will preach his first SER
mon here Sunday morning. September

again. During some six years of PASTOR
al work here Mr.. Moore and his family
formed a wide acquaintance with the
people of this community, and now
that they are to take up their work
here, they will be welcomed most cor
daily by our people, irrespective Of
church affiliations.

aTHE FINAL WORDn

Therefore please allow me to say that

necessary In cases of petty thievery,
violation or traffic laws and many
other similar offenses.

it is sometimes more difficult to find

1t surpasses my comprehension that
any one could accuse me of having
my eyes shut. My eyes, like Mr.. Rams
are wide open-I'm only looking in
a different direction. / am so glad
he has changed his phrasing from

1t surely does sound much better.
And now since Mr.. Ram, probably
at the earnest prayers and solicita-
tions of some, not all of his friends
so ungallantly refuses to further graf

Thomas Council, Knights of Colum-
bus, was held ON the Delaware Coun-
ty Fair Grounds on Tuesday, August
23rd, Knights and their friends from
far and near being in attendance A
feature which proved strong draw
ing card was the ball game between
Cresco and Dubuque. These are two
of the best ball teams in eastern Iowa,
and staged game which was worth
seeing. The Cresco team proved too
much for their opponents and shut
out Dubuque from scoring. The Du-
buque bunch, however. held down the
Cresco team to 4 scores.
Following the ball game the large
crowd prepared for real picnic sup
per, and after the supper the open
air dance pavilion proved to be another
drawing card. More than 800 dance
numbers were sold.

3Stickup' Men Relieve Farmer Of For
ty Dollars. Two Suspects are
Held In Jail.

County Attorney M. j. Yoran and
Sheriff L. e. Pride have been some
busy men these last few days, and as
a result of their labors still is now
being housed in the reception" hall
of the Sheriff's office, ana fourteen
gallons Of Illicit liquor is being held
also as evidence against the parties
who will have to give an explanation
as to the possession of the STILL The
still in question was captured on a
farm near Worthington, the farm being
occupied by an Austrian by the name
OF Jesenovic. The liquor seized is
said to have been made from
clover blossoms and elderberries. The
still is genuine article, and to all
appearance has been used in the busi-
ness of making moonshine. 1t is of
such a size as would permit of the
manufacture of a generous quantity
of liquor in comparatively short
time.
Melon Vender Held Up
John Pierce, who operates the Hugh
Clemans farm south OF Dundee, knows
how it feels to be met along dark
highway by two "stickup" men and
have one Of the fellows point good
sized revolver at his head and demand
what money he had on his person,
for that is what happened to him last
Saturday evening while on his way
home from Strawberry. after having
disposed OF large quantity Of home
grown melons.
Mr.. Pierce claims that the men who
held him up on the highway had been
"shadowing" him during the days he
was selling melons on the fair grounds,
and that they had their plans we'll
laid for the holdup. Mr.. Pierce says
that he was relieved of about forty
dollars. Both of the men wore masks,
and made their escape in an auto
mobile. On Tuesday two men we're ar
rested at Monticello, and are being
held in the county Jail here as sus-
poets, and time for their hearing
has been set for Thursday forenoon,
before Justice J.. Pentony.

Labor Council Declares
Var on Open Shop Drive

A committee of twenty-five repre-

Council of Greater New York, met last
night in the World Building and
adopted a program for its night against
the open shop interests. William S.
Kehoe, secretary of the Central
Trades and Labor Council, presided.
After the meeting he said:
1--WE adopted a program and agreed
on reply to Judge Gary's statemc Mt
on the open shop. Gary is playing the
baby act. He wants control by gov
ernment agencies. II would be more
to the point if Judge Gary would tell
the public why the United States Steel
Corporation maintains expensive
lobbies in Washington and in the
various state legislatures"
Mr. Kehoe said the unions would
raise an unlimited sum Of money to
fight the open shop propaganda. which
was being SO assiduously spread.
James P. Holland, president Of the
New York Federation of Labor. said
the biggest fight ever made by organ
ICED labor was in preparation and that
ever& one Of the 100000 trade union
lists in the state would be in it.

Poindexter, in Senate, Charges
En,nity to Colonel Inspired
Its Support


WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Miles PoindeSter Republican, of
Washington, attacking the proposed
Colombian treaty in the Senate to-day,
charged that the background FOR the
pact was hostility to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. He said he had no doubt
that Wilson and Bryan negotiated the
treaty in 1914 and sent it to the Sen
ate with bitterness of feeling against
Colonel Roosevelt as an incentive.
Senator Townsend, Republican, Of
Michigan, also attacked the treaty.
Senator'S New, Republican, of Indiana,
and John Sharp Williams, Democrat, Of
Mississippi, spoke in favor Of its rati-
fication.
Senator New declared Europe was
making every effort to obtain the trade
Of Latin-American countries and that
European countries were using the
failure of this nation to enter into the
Colombian treaty in propaganda again st
