Monroe Protective Association. Monroe has a new organization per footed known as the “Monroe Proteci five Association.” The object of the association is to prevent any criminal ] depredations in the community. Monroe and vicinity has been the scene of so much thieveiugetc. that thecitizens strongly feel the need of some relief which has brought about the above ' results. The organization is to be permanent and is in working order with the following officers elected for one year: President, J P Hocker; vice-president, Z. O. Lewellen; secretary, J. A. Hendricks; assistant secre- | tary, W. L. Oliver; treasurer, Jesse ' Essex; committeemen, Jas. Wisler, J. M. Burkhead, Levi N. Hendricks. The organization proposes to stand in readiness to offer a reward for the capture and conviction of any criminals that have committed depradations upon any member of the association. To become a member of the association the ’applicant is required to pay the j sum of one dollar into the treasury, | which is placed in the bank and held in readiness. After the capture and I conviction of a criminal and a reward ' has been paid, each member is assessed a sufficient amount to place his finances to the standard required, one dollar. In no ease can a member be assessed over one dollar and no assessment can be made unless a reward is paid, and no reward will be paid unless a conviction is made. (Everybody within five miles of Monroe is invited to join and help boom one of .the best things the community ever possessed.

As relatives, friends and neighbors, we have assembler! on this solemn occasion to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed mother, grandmother and friend, who will not only be missed in this home circle but in the church as well. Hannah Ogle, was born in Virginia, Sept. 10, 1824, and with her parents emigrated to Delaware county, Ind., and was married to Loranzo DeWitt August 11. 1841. to this union was born nine children, five sons and four daughters, Three of the latter survive her. Nancy J., Malinda and Sarah. Her husband departed this life thirty years ago. She was remarried to Martin Cail, who died ten years ago. She leaves three daugh ters, twenty-five grand -children and eighteen great grandchild r»ai together with a host of friends to mourn their loss. Sifter Call was possessed with a robust womanhood reveling in tierfet t physical development, well calculated to lq.avw the dangers and obstacles incedent to human life in the wilderness. She having become a hristian at the age of fifteen years, from which faith she never departed. She was an active worker in the church where ever ’‘bi’t "lot 1 was cast. She united with . the Christian Union at Pleasant Valley. Wells county, Ind., on its inception at that place, in which she was a faithful worker until she was overtaken by the disease which caused her death. She departed this life May 21,1900, aged 75 years, 8 months and 11 daysja She was a long and patient sufferer which she bore with womanly fortitude and Christian resignation bowing in humble sub submission to the Divine will. Sister Call was naturally endowed with a happy, sun-shining disposition which was an ever-present »chara<4eristic of her everv day life. Her nature was a conflicting one, prompting her to see the good in men Vither.thau the evil. She was a fond and indulgent wife, a happy and loving mother; a woman of sterling integrity, a faithful friend, a helpful neighlxir and a devout Christian, and the work she did, the words she spoke and the character she built, and the influence she set in motion will out live the stars. Such an influence never dies, their works do follow The death of such a saint is but the looseing of their powers. “It is not defeat, nor colapse, but.achievement.” Her last davs in the sick room were like a veritable mount of transfiguration, where the glory of the Lord reflected on the face of his servant. Funeral text Rev. 14. 13; “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth, yea, saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” *** Notice to Wheelmen.

IN THE PHILIPPINES SUMMARY OF THE PAST WEEK'S OPERATIONS AMONG THE INSURGENT ISLANDERS. EVERYTHING ISQUIET AT MANILA People From the Provinces Leaving Their Hamlets to Escape the Depredations of Roving Insurgents and Bands of Bandits Who Harrass Them on Every Side. Manila, May 28. -Scouting, small engagements ami the capture of arms and prisoners continue daily in Northern Luzon. Last week's operations by the *Jth, 12th, 33rd. 34th and 30th regiments resulted in the killing of 46 of the enemy, the taking of 180 prisoners and the capture of 3<X) rifles and a quantity of ammunition. Col. Edward E. Gardin, with three companies of the 29th regiment and bluejackers of the gunboat Helena, landed at Palonog, Masbate Island under the enemy's tire, routed the insurgents, atid after an engagement lasting half an hour, occupied the town without casualties. The insurgents’ commander, with 20 officers and 230 men. surrendered on May 20, giving up 100 rifles. An impressive scene occurred on the plaza when the prisoners were disarm,,l ami liberated. 'Die islanders were found suffering from lack of food, owing to the blockade, and the American authorities are endeavoring to relievo them. Peace reigns and no trouble is expected in Manila, although the city is crowded with people from the provinces. who are leaving the unprotectisl hamlets in order to avoid the con script ion which the insurgent leaders are enforcing, as well as robbery and outrages at the hands of roving insurgents and bandits. The investigation of the charge against Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston of having summarily executed two natives in the province of Zambales has resulted in a discontinuance of the proceedings. 11 developed the fact that Gen. Funston caught the natives In tip;.. act of murdering bound Maccabebe scouts, his action in view of the cfreumstances being regarded as justifiable. ••BOXERS CONTINUE ACTIVE Affairs In China Are Assuming Critical Proportions. Snaughai. May 28.- Reports received here indicau tiiat affairs around Pekin an- extremely critical, owing to the defeat of the government troops by the "Boxers.” It is now regarded here as certain that foreign troops must be sent to Pekin to protect the legations while the withdrawal of missionaries from the interior is considered imperative. Large portions of the provinces of Pe Chi Li and Shan Tung are in a stiite little better than absolute anarchy. and disorder Is spreading in the province of Shan-Sl in consequence of the encouragement received from the empress dowager. Pekin, May 28.—The government is making some attempts to cheek the movement of the "Boxers" here. The streets are quiet, but the country is In a state of terror so far as the native Christians are concerned. Many Protestants and Catholic refugees are fleeing here for protection. They Disclaim the Charge. Havana. May 2,B.—American officials here feel that they have been unju tly treated by certain newspapers In the United States which have published the sweeping statement that they all live extravagantly. Army officers point out that if they have to live in foreign cities their expenses are greater than when at home. Moreover very few care to risk the health of tliyir families by keeping them in Cuba during the summer. Thus two establishments are necessary. As long as their duties compel them to live In a tropical climate, they feel that the United States government, like other governments .under similar conditions, should pay additional stipends. Gen. Wood, when asked what he thought ot such charges, replied that, he considered charges of extravagance In departments, except the jxistal, unfounded. adding that he believed no other department had anything to fear on that score and that all could endure the closest investigation possible. Looking Out For the Children Havana. May 29. Gen. \v,„„| yesterday lns|a-eted the Beneflelenela, or foundlings' home, w.iere sihi children are being cared for. The building originally cost $2,090,000, but When Gen. Wood came to Havana, Its sanitary condition was so deplorable that more man 200 children had to be removed because Os an eye affection ti.at was lapldly spreading to the institution due to the fact that the boys were all compelled to wash in u ve small basins. Now each child has a separate basin. Drains have been put In and |>lay grounds laid out, and other improvements made at an entire cost of less than This. Gen.

Holthouse, Callow X Co. m Someone who evidently needed a time piece pretty badly discovered Wilda Watts's vest hanging in Schafer, Son Ac Loch's carriage room last Friday and helped himself to a good silver watch valued at twenty-two There is no clue, but Wilda woula like to interview the gentleman about live minutes. By a vote of 433 to 238 the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church last Thursday decided to abolish the pastoral time limit by which a minister has been able to remain in one charge not longer than five successive years. This one of the fundamental laws of the denomination and one of the principal features of itinerant ministry is laid aside, and preachers may remain in places as lopgas the bishops appoint them. While still a pilgrim and a stranger, the Methodist itinerant hereafter can tarry more than five years, other Conditions being favorable, for from section 3 of paragraph 17. of the book of discipline has been removed the five year restriction. Three days the great and all absorbing question was debated vigorously by lay and ministerial delegates, and when the discussion was shut off one parlimeutarv move followed another in an effort to delay the verdict of the church’s legislative body, while under a special rule adopted on motion of Dr. J. M. Buckley amendments galore were presented under the previous ques tion. The oratory of the preachers who favored doing away with the restriction h<d its effect, however, ami the victory won on a vea and nav vote after ail the conditions at first attached to the plan had been put aside. “One would exjxvt that a religious imbued community, giving a play liecause of a religious vow, would seek to make the entrance price as small as possible, in order that all might come and learn,” writes Ida Shaper Hoxie, of “The Passion Play This )ear, in the June Ladies' Home Journal. “But the people of Oberammergau, having learned the money value of their production, seem noth’ ing loth to combine religion with business.
