Amos Weesner; the Converse merchant who eloped a year of more ago with a young woman in his store, leaving his wife to face a small army cf creditors, has returned contrite and is forgiven by his injured wife.

N. C. Shirey, who /tetured 'home this morning from a conference of Anti- , Saloon league workers at Indianapolis. "and it will depend entirely upon the conditions that develop in the ne.xt few weeks, whether any action will be taken this year.” Rev.
