CHRISTIAN CHURCH In
NATIONAL Convention

Winona Lake, Ind, CA. P)-Repre-
sentatives of more than 100000 mem
bers of the Disciples of Christi Chris
tian church, will appraise the work
of the denomination at the annual in
ternatiOnal convention to be held
here beginning tomorrow and continue
through Sunday, September 8.
Around the World is the theme OF
the convention program which will
open with the reading of reports of
the various church enterprises. Iii
recting boards of the church's organ
izations will meet Monday afternoon
and Tuesday forenoon proceeding the
convention opening.
The Rev. Stephen e. Fisher of Ur-
bana, ILL.,. will deliver the opening con-
vention address. DR.. Fisher is presi-
dent of the convention. The conven-
ton sermon will be preached Sunday
morning by DR.. Vernon Stauffer, pro-
fessor in the divinity department CT
Pennsylvania college, Lexington, Ky.
Acute problems of denominatiOnal
faith and policy will come up for
settlement during the convention.
leaders here predict. One question
will be the removal of the college of
missions from Indianapolis to some
great university center. Invitations
have been extended to locate at the
University of Chicago, Yale and Co
1umbia universities. The removal is
by the college officials in
the interest of more adequate training
for missionaries.
Conservative and progressive forces
within the denomination will come
into conflict during the convention, 1t
also is believed. The ultra-conserva-
tive movement which has become ac-
tive in several protestant denomina
tions, and whose members call them
selves "fundamentalists" has many
adherants among the Disciples OF
Christ.

HORSESHOE FANS Begin
final TOURNEY Series

The final contest of the local horse
shoe tournament being staged to Sc
lect first and second teams for the
local club of the Idaho State
Horseshoe Pitchers association
is now under way. The eight high
men of the two preliminary tourna-
ments have been selected and the
finals set on foot.
The men who will feature in the
final tournament are: From the first
ard, Clayton Westover, w. e. Snow
den, T. H. Mcmillan, W. M. Hedge, E.

mary contest. L. Russell, Connie

Walter Robbins, Martin Mickey, Har-
old Collins and L. e. Brooks.
The eight high point men of this
tournament will be designated as the
first team Of the association and the
other eight men will be considered
the second string team. No third
team will be chosen at present.
The preliminary tournaments first
began some three weeks ago. Since
that time two sixteen men Journeys
have been played for the purpose of
picking out the eight highest of each
of the semi-finals to figure in the
finals which are now under way.
1t is expected that the present con-
test will continue about week or
ten days. The members are the best
pitchers of the city and the contests
are every one giving promise of diff
Guilty and closeness.
1t is quite likely that the local
branch of the state pitching association
will send delegation to five-team
tournament that is being arranged at
Cotton, sometime next week. The
Cotton players have been in communf-
cation with local members, although

HANSEN DIES AT
Wheel OF ATUO
WAS PROSPEROUS FARMER OF
NORTHERN LATAH-EARLY
LIFE ON THE SEA

H. A. Hansen, a we'll known farmer
in the Cove district, east of Palouse,
in the northern part of Latah county,
died at the wheel in his automobile
last Saturday morning, near his home,
according to word brought here to-
day by his brother, C. S. Hansen.
Following an early breakfast, Mr.
Hansen started in his car to land
which he owned a little distance from
his home farm. G. S. Hansen was
driving four-horse team ahead of
him, and turned around and motioned
his brother to drive past him, but he
apparently paid no attention, the car
continuing to move slowly. Thinking
something was wrong with the car,
G. S. Hansen drove on over the hill
and little later returned with a load
of grain and found the automobile
standing across the road and his
brother sitting at the wheel, dead
Mr.. Hansen was 81 years old and
apparently in the best of health,
death coming without warning. He
is survived by his widow and one
son, aged Is years, and his brother,
G. S. Hansen.
H. A. Hansen was born in Norway
and when a young man took 10 the
sea, living a sailors life for IL years
before coming to the Palouse coun-
try 20 years ago, quitting the life of
sailor with a captains license lie
was IN charge of ship in Galveston
harbor when the city of Galveston
was destroyed by a tornado in 1900,
and was one of the few men to
escape. Shortly after this he left the
sea and, with his brother, came to
the west and located inland.
Mr.. Hansen was a successful farm
er and progressive citizen.

ceed w. A. VanTilborg, whose term
expires, and who will not be a can

be elected without opposition. Mr..
Johnson has been an efficient member
of the board for a number of years
and Mr.. Simpson is a well known cit
izen, who has children in the schools
and who is deeply interested in the

wait moment would be his pleasure show it them
even If they were not thinking Of making purchase.
So in another moment the jeweer returned from tho
back Of the store and in his hands really exquisite
string Of very valuable matched pearls. The jeweeY
started to remark their beauty but Kitty herself point
ed the excellence of the jewels with the knowledge Of
expert
II see that madame herself is connoisseur and does
not need to be told the points of pearls the shopkeeper
commented
well yes, really ought to know little about
pearls she said modestly. And then, turning to her
"These quite like Aunt Emma's string, dom you

to count them off with gloved finger.
As she slowly counted each pearl and then examined
the clasps her husband suggested that she count them all
again. This she did, and her husband then carefully
amned the pearls and inspected the clasps.
The joweler suggested that it would be pleasure
him to send the pearls to their hotel overnight for them
to consider But Kitty protested that she really oughn

and that she was not sure that she cared for pearls
at present So they sauntered out and nothing more
heard of the rich millionaire beer magnates for several
days

mental notes of the number and sizes Of those
pearls and each Of the pair had very clearcut mental
impression OF the workmanship and design the plat

They went to a crooked jeweer and explained in de-
tail the points Of that necklace.

telling me) "They graduated from this, picking

the string The three crooks thus put their heads to-

After few days the duplicate jewel necklace Of im

was ready and then Kitty took the step in prepara-
