Thomas.Water* ofthe Euclid Avenue Church, the only ope of this particular form of the .Reformed branches in tbi* city, is secretary of the Committee on Unity.' This com­ mittee was originally appointed to . confer with similar committees from various churches of the Presbyterian faith, hut so few of these separate de- ■ nominations have made any effort to even Suggest a “ union conference that it is not generally admitted that an organic union of the churches hold ing Presbyterian standards can. never be effected. “The Bptch Reformed Church, of which President Roosevelt is a mem her, is the paly one, solar as is known that has appointed a committee with a definite end in view. After waiting several months this committee, ap­ pointed by the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, has decided to break away from alliance with any. other bodies and present a ‘'resolution to the Synod that thedenomination it­ self “ light the way’’ to ap ultimate of- ■genic union,Ti such is possible^by at once making, overtures for admittance to the Presbyterian Church “Although thiB particular form of the Reformed Presbyterian denomi­ nation la the smallest in number* and active force, it is believed that ifo action wall have a powerful influence on the welding together of the Pres* ■byterian, United Ffeshyteriau, Re* Reformed and Cum­ berland **|ipre*byterian Churches throughout North America and Can­ ada. The leaders of tbe denomination aver that It may be part of the Pres­ byterian Church before the year i* over. So stout is the belief among both bodies that the building of the Friendship Avenue Presbyterian Church h*» been postponed, a*, in the event of a union it would not be need­ ed, the Euclid avenue ohureh being considered amply huge for both con­ gregations. “Tho movement it of intense local interest in that it would bring to the Presbyterian dburoh in thiroity one «f the handaomeat edifiose in Western PanaryIrani* and likewise one of the hfrtahmt men ofthe ReformedChurch, 1 Rmr.

Officer Ken* non took up two boys, Charles Bal- lark and Lee Keys, a t the request o f D.

CASE POSTPONED. The case of George Dean, for vio­ lating the liquor Jaws, was set for Wednesday but did not come to trial a* expected. Attorney Armstrong for tb* defense filed a motion asking that the case be oentisued until March 39, but Mayor McFarland *et it for Sat­ urday, Mkreh 28, The reasons stated are that two of hi* witnesses caunot be found but will have them by the time set. Die motion states that Dean will prove by these wituessee that he was not in Oedarville the day the affi­ davit charge* him with tolling con­ trary to law. Ho mercy should b* shown Dean by the Committee of One Hundred or by the mayor, from, the feei that he came here after the saloons were voted out, He name her* to run hi* businem in the face of the opposition for local option.

But that the house was set afire, ihera is no question. I t is, evident that coal oil had" been poured down be tween the plastering and weafhhoard- mg and the torch applied below. The • quick action of the fire department saved the building and other adjoining property, The team that pulled the engine ‘to the lire is the one that took the young colored people to Clifton, they, having returned but a short time before tho alarm was sounded, Rufoars were afloat that night and .the day fqliqVrihg that* possibly some­ one was getting even with tho owner of the" property, Certainly Mr. Ervin, has more faith in his “ tribe" thau to allow a rumor tike that to have any influence in forming, an opinion as to the cause oftho destruc* tion of his “flat** RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES.

An effort wa* made to take a ticket into the primary to-mor­ row for corporation offices; u ticket that would enforce tho laws for good government* Go Wednesday; night nil manner of reports were sent about candidates on tho committee’s ticket, and ratherRum be the target for these contemptable cum several withdrew their names, which would seriously .effect the ticket, so on Thurs­ day morning tho entire .ticket Whs withdrawn leaving the “wets" to joli- fy'oyer the result* There has been mbch discussion as to whether tho ticket in the primary Or regular eleO- tiou was the proper thing. After the. primary was entered the opposition eondemed the movement, wlilch would effect the.causo. Factional fights apd pettyjealousies have shown themselves and to satisfy these grudges the Cause, local option, 1ms/ been sacrificed.' I t was the time to make the fight .for good government but it seem$ the real object Wge lost sight of, froffi the fact that the committee could riot al­ ow these eruptions to arise and injury tho cause. Such ,things could hnye seen kept down and the ticket nomi­ nated to-morrow had the eommiuee not faltered a tv.the attacks of thewhis- cey element. An things stand at pres­ ent the whiskeyelement predominates. There is little reason for criticising the Committee of One Hundred, as mror- gauization, as too ' many citizens, the yhes who should he interested, refused to support the cause, Row that ’ the Committee o£ One Hundred has with­ drawn from the-fight forgoodgovern­ ment and the enforcement bf laws, Whiff will become of the Cases that they have for ptoseeution under the leal law?. The citizen^ of this corpo­ ration have voted by a large majority that there should be local option ' but it seems that is all we are to have. In the Crawford and Dean cases the committee has done good workarid al­ so iri getting Charles Ridgway on' for ' he Dow tax, but what is to become tf this work now? Is it the intention of this committee to lay down on, the cause simply because Ridgway and a fewofhis associates have declared that m would fight the payment of the Dow tax or oven a fine under the Beal aw? Is it possible that the committee would allow men of tiffs caliber to stop tho work in which many people seem interested? I f the committee does no't go on with the work what use was there, in voting out tint salonh.3 and allowing a drug store to run day and night? Under such circufosttuces the local officers have an opportunity; to vindicate themselves, a* they are said to be Under Ridgway’* direction and dictation. They can imethosame evidence under this Beal law as used to place this gentleman on for tho I)ow tax. I t might also he stated that this same evidence i»*what eight in­ dictments, found by the last grand jurv, is based upon, arid this would certainly bo etroug enough for tho of­ ficer* to start Some action thereby proving to the public that tlm charge is false.

R K M , • M I N i N * , tm u M m . ’n m n * 4 have settled tho ground so that a largo per cent, ofsprouts will net take root again. There has been more dam­ age to the wheat than most, farmers realize, or will, until the dry weather sets in* The sprouts that ham not token root will soon die, and a well- known farmer informs the. writer that after n careful examination fie find* many ot .the roots still on the surface that have been kept alive only by the enormous nmount of rain' fall. This situation will bo quite a disappoint­ ment to a-large number-of farmer*"as there, was a largo amount sown last fall. I t is to be hoped ' that as .-the season approaches the prospect for a full crop will he brighter, T A rather peculiar accident happen­ ed a few days ago when Alexander Batts was Colled to the farm ofW. H. Gorry totgetrieick .calf, Mr. Batts had been informed to wait until some otto came to help him, but there being same delay and'thinking he could dis­ tinguish between a sick calf and a well ope, he shot the calf which he suppos­ ed Air, Oorry was desirous of getting rid of. Shortly after this Air, Horry'* Son.appeared and found that Air. Batts had killed the wrong calf. The ani­ mal killed was valued a t $ 2 fi and the /matter was adjusted in a satisfactory manner. Mr. Cotry says that Air, Batts may be a good shot but he hit the,wrong calf ia this case. There seems to be quite a diversity of opinion as to tho fruit' crop this- year. This, is particularly so with peaches* In talking with several farmers, who make specialty of grow'-' irig tiffs fruit, Ave find that the major­ ity of the peach buds are killed, while, we hear from others, and they are few, that there will be at leafefca half crop. With the apples, all seem to think that a large crop is certain, though this fruit must he protected hy spray­ ing the trees. The Hagar Strawhoard and Paper company is selling offquHe a number of their mule teams and will purchase others They are just what is wrintfed on a farm. They can be purchased at a fair price, and will do a season’s work for tho ordinary farmer; and then sold at quite a profit, In cases where farmers have purchased these teams and given them cave and rest they, have netted the owners a neat sum. The sheep firm,of Alex, Turnbull and Bon, possibly the largest breeders of sheep in this section, have sold a large consignment to bo shipped the first of next month.' This firm has quite a reputation for the breeding of rams and their shipments are largely to the jaimesGwestern ranches, The W.
