Prayer was offered by Rev. J. E. Stoops, of Decatur, president of the home class department. Calvary school then sang a ■■ welcome song. Next followed an address by Charles Miller du “How to teach an infant class in the Sunday .sehoof,” lie brought out the idea of teaching our youth the principles of salvation. We then listened to a good declamation given by Hattie Rawley of the Mt. I'abor school. Calvary school then revived our senses by a good song, hel ping ns better to appreciate the next subject which was “What will interest the Sabbath school” by Joseph Chronister, superintendent of Zion school. He said that worldly things should not be brought into the Sunday school to interest it. But the word of God should be made interesting enough to hold any school and 4 increase it numerically and spiritually. Song by Calvary school followed byqueries. A number of good questions were asked once, and answered, relative to Sunday school work. Song by Calvary school closed the exercises for the afternoon. Convention adjourned to meet at 7:30 p. m. Evening session.—Promptly at 7;30 o'clock the house was called to order by the president, A. M. Manlier. .The audience-now joined in singing that grand old song “Jesus Lover of my Soul.” Prayer was Offered by S. C. Cramer. Miss Noia Smith of Pleasant Mills gave a v»ry interesting recitation. “How to get a good Sunday school lesson” was the subject treated by S. C. Cramer of the Salem school. He enforced the idea of a systematic study of the Sunday school lesson. A very good paper was now read, “Does the literature of today detract or encourage the study of the bible,” by Mrs, Groseclose. The question was well and ably handled, discussed by Harvey Daniels, Song by Calvary School followed by queries. Some interesting queries were asked relating to the last six months of the Sunday school’s lessons. Song closed the convention and no doubt great good was done in encouraging .Sunday school workers.

Put ourtowfr' known as Pleasant Mills and not as Molica far beneath it, when it* is far superior in size and enterprise. He also spoke of it’s great age. Yes Pleasant Mills has stood the storms of many winters and apparently for a time lay dormant in-order to givejuru, sister towns a chance to rise, and Boffo as one has failed. He spoke of their fine dwellings and sawdust fside walks that needed repairing; quite a compliment to the place indeed. Pleasant Mills can boast of line dwellings and gravel walks and more than I hat or fftelligent and enterprising men, and is steel clad from end to end. Yes she is booming in all her glory and will in the near future be oiie of the best commercial towns in the state. Just come over brother itemizer and see our town, as we presume it has been some time since you were here, and unless you lack greatlv in judgment, you will see your mistake and will never speak of fine dwellings and saw dust walks again. «

warn Defaulting Cashier Captured In Perley, Wis. r '-/t CAUGHT THROUGH A WOMAN He Attended Daneea and Took an Active Pert In the Social Ere nt. of the Town. Say. He Will Lay the Blame Where It Belong.—Claims to Have Been Hired to Kun Away. Duluth, Nov. 21.—Charles H. Stuckey, former cashier of the State bank of this city, and who about the middle of : October disappeared, charged with taking $15,000 of the institution’s money, is a prisoner at the Central police station. He was arrested by a local detective at Perley, Wis., last evening. The information upon which the young man was arrested came from a. woman. Miss Fannie Nathan, a resident of Porley, who met Stuckey at a dance. Stuckey made his home at a camp a I short distance from the little town and was seen about the place, where he made no attempt to hide or ! disguise himself. He was 4n the habit 'of taking an active part in the social events of the place and called himself Charles Steuart. After having danced with him at a party several times the young women told hep mother she thought the handsome | stranger was the missing cashier of the I Duluth bank, which closed its doors ; soon after Stuckey disappeared. The mother and daughther procured a picture of the cashier which had been sent out by the bank people and soon satisfied themselves that he was the right man. Chief of Police Armstrong was notified letter and one of the local detectives ’was sent to Perley. He found Stuckey at the camp and placed him under araest. Stuckey took the matter very coolly and even said that he was glad to return to Duluth, as he could tell the whole story and place the blame where it belonged. Other remarks dropped by the prisoner lead to the belief that when he tells the story of the bank robbery he will implicate other people aud claim he was hired to rim away, and that he received but a small amount of the money he is alleged to have taken from the bank. WALLER MAY BE LIBERATED. Probabilities of Amnesty For AU Political Prisoners. Washington, Nov.. 21. —Althought the state department absolutely refuses to confirm or deny a report that the French government has refused to furnish it the recqrd in the Waller case, some difficulties it is known have been encountered in procuring this indispensable document.

Meanwhile the Waller case itself mar be suddenly settled, so far as the liberation of Waller is concerned, by the voluntary action of the French government, as word has come here from official sources to the effect that it is contemplated to proclaim amnesty for all political prisoners taken in Madagarcar, which would include Waller, unless some specihl notice be taken of his case and claim.
