Easter Services at St. Mary's
Church.

Easter Sunday, 1922, dawned a
little cloudy and cool with high
winds, but nevertheless young and
old could be seen en- masse vending
their way to worship at the churches
of their denomination. AT ST. Mary's
church there was very large attend
ance. The interior of the edifce
represented a scene Of solemn splen-
dor, many tapers, sweet scented cut
flowers, Easter lilies, ferns and pot
ted plants adorned the affairs and
sanctuary. Father Weyer in his fes-
tive robes surrounded by many little
altar bows and the thurifers, and the
large congregation giving homage to
the Risen Lord seemed like one large
halleluiah chorus of Easter JOY and
gladness. In the first mass the chill
dren's choir sang beautiful Easter
hymns and in high mass the large
choir rendered special music and j..
Gruber's Festive mass under the
skillful training Of Mrs. T. F. Keefe,
organist, which was unexcelled for
artistic and devotional quality. Fred
Jeuck rendered the Gregorian Chant
in a very creditable manner, The
pastor, Father Weyer, preached an
impressive sermon both in English
and German at each mass on the
glory of the Resurrection and his
thoughts upon Easter joys of the
church were decidedly refreshing.
The edifying services concluded with
benediction and singing of the TIE
Deum. The services of alteration
Holy Thursday of the blessed sacra-
ment and Good Friday services were
largely attended. The excellent ser
mon preached on Good Friday by
Father Weyer was very commendable
and much praised.

AN OBJECT LESSON IN BAD
ROADS.

The people of Mineral Point and
nearby towns have had recent illus
trations of the folly and cOstliness OF
paying heed to those who oppose the
CARRYING out of the good roads laws
of our State.
For the last three weeks, owing to
the condition of the roads, farmers
have been prevented from coming to
town to do their trading Even main
highways, at many points have been
impossible.
The mail contracted to be carried
by stage to Mineral Point from the
C. & N. w. R'y. at;Dodgeville had for
the last two weeks to be taken
on the C. & N. w. from Dodgeville to
Whitson junction, and from there by
the nj. p. &N. to Mineral Point; and
mail sent back from Mineral Point to
Dodgeville over the same route. The
bottomless lanes on the Dodgeville-
Mineral Point road were responsible
for this state Of affairs, and made the
hours of delay in the delivery of
mails here unavoidable.
Rural Mail Carriers everywhere in
Iowa County have had a slavish time
of it trying to give proper service to
the patrons on their routes.
And last Sunday, the Knights
Templar of Mineral Point, Command
cry in order to carry out their pre-
arranged plan of holding : Easter
services in Dodgeville, were COM
PEELED to charter a special train on
the M. P. & N. to take them to Whit
son Junction Ga distance of "a miles
whence they were taken by autos to
Dodgeville (distance II miles) over
a we'll improved highway, returning
home in the same manner While
the Sir knights could have offered
their deyotions to Deity at home, the
thirty-siX mile trip to Dodgeville
gave them a most valuable object
lesson in bad roads. Dodgeville is
only eight miles from Mineral Point
Can it be possible that people here
abouts do not realize that wherever
permitted to exist, bad roads keep
property values down. and decrease
the advantages and comforts of life?

Glad and Cheering Easter
Services.

Easter Sunday dawned bright and
CHEEKY, the air was balmy and the
birds tuneful and all nature seemed
to have just one announcement-He
is Risen.
The hours of worship at the Con-
gregational church commenced with
a sunrise prayer and praise service
in the chapel when nearly hundred
people gathered to sing and to pray
and the hour~wa one Of deep spirit
sual enrichment. For two weeks
prior to Easter the people of the par
ish through special afternoon and
evening services were making ready
to welcome the Risen Christ. There
was large interest and attendance at
all the extra activities, nearly two
hundred kneeled at the altar on
Good Friday night in remembrance
of their cruicified Saviour. At the
Easter morning worship more than
six hundred assembled to hear again
the giving heart-thrilling
proclamation, "He is Risen.''. Never
before did the interior of the church
present a richer or more beautiful
scene, bloom and fragrance emanated
from Easter lilies, potted plants and
cut flowers which bordered the altar
and banked the pulpit platform;
large and tiny ferns waved their
fronds in gladness and welcome to
all. The large chorus choir lifted the
hearts of all the worshippers by
their talented singing of telling Eas-
ter music at both hours of public
worship. Six people received the
rites of Christian baptism in the lee
ture room at the close of the Sunday
school hour and twenty-one (seven-
teen adults and four youths were vel
coined into church membership at the
hour of morning worship. 1t was a.
truly glad Easter for this church,
and pastor and people are determined
to go forth with renewed vigor and
faith in the service of Him who
brought life and immortality to light
on that memorable first Easter long
ago.

FATTY" ARBUCKLE FOUND
NOT GUILTY AT FRISCO
Jury at Third Trial Ponders Evidence
Less Than a Minute-lssues
Statement.

San Francisco, April 13.-Roscoe
FATTY" Arkuckle stands vindicated Of
the charge of manslaughter brought
against him just seven months ago
as result of the death Of Virginia
Rappe, a pretty motion picture actress,
following party given at a local
hotel.
The jury which heard the evidence
in the third trial of the motion pic
ture comedian reached a verdict Of
not guilty less than mute after they
had returned to deliberate. The ver-
dict was reached without even for
NAL ballot being taken, being by unani-
nous rising vote foil )wing the cleo
ton of Edward w. Brown as foreman.
Immediately after their discharge
by the court the Jury issued one Of
the most remarkable statements ever
emanstiLg from a<juryroom.
"Acquittal is not enough for Roscoe
'Afbuckle," read the statement. "We
feel that great injustice has been
done him. We feel also that 1t was
only our plain duty to give him this
eXOneratiOn under the evidence, for
there was not the slightest proof ad-
duced to connect him in any way
with the commission of the crime.
He was manly throughout the case
and told straightforward story on
the witness stand which we all be-
lieved.
"The happening at the hotel was an
unfortunate affair for which Arbuckle,
who, so the evidence shows, was not
the host ut the party, was in no way
responsible.
1--WE wish him success and hope that
the American people will take the
judgment Of IA men and women who
have sat for 81 days listening to the
evidence that Roscoe Arbuckle is en-
tirely innocent and free from bias

the last seven words from the Cross.
