Members. -Down at Warren a big revival is in progress at the Christian church and the evangelist in charge is dealing out some pretty hot stuff to the members of the churfch. Turning to the pastor at one point in his discourse, the other evening, the evangelist asked the Rev. Etter if he would accompany him on a visit to the homes of the church members and destroy all the cards that might be found and empty flasks which might be stored in the cellars. The pastor, however, did not reply and the evangelist resumed his speaking and continued to flay church members on other alleged evils. The suggestion from the evangelist that members of the congregation were playing cards and that liquor was stored in the cellars caused a senation that is creating no end of comment. The evangelist took church members to task for going to Bluffton and Marion to attend the theatres. He said that many of the shows were vulgar. Evangelist Conn urged all to join in the singing. He asked all who could not sing to whistle. He said that many who attend church do not have the spirit and that they have “long faces” and act like they are attending a funeral.

o “ WILL LEAVE FORT WAYNE Captain McKay is Ordered to Indian--1 apolis. About the first of April, or as soon thereafter as the local Salvation Army citadel is rebuilt, Captain S. R. McKay, commander of the Booth Army in this city, will be transferred to In. dianapolis, where his services are required in the erection of a barracks at that place. Captain McKay has ex. ceeded his time limit in this city and would have gone to Indianapolis sooner had it not been for the unfortunate blaze in the barracks. The Salvation Army is run on the same plan as a regular army and its officers are ordered from place to place where their services are most needed. The commanders also endeavor to change the officers in charge of the work at the various cities about once a year, or somewhat on the plan of the Methodist Episcopal church its pastors. Captain McKay has been in Fort Wayne now for over sixteen months, but it was not thought politic to transfer him until he had the citadel here completed and the work well started. His successor has not yet' been named. —Ft. Wayne News. Ah old couple were arrested las; evening by Marshal Green on a charge of vagrancy and were turned over to Sheriff Meyers for safe keeping. They were turned loose this morning and U make tracks for Bluffton.

DEATH MAKING GREAT INROADS ■ Ranks of Grand Army in Indiana are Diminishing. The report of the Indiana department, Grand Army of the Republic, for the six months ending Dec. 31. 1906, which has just been completed and forwarded to Commander in 1 Chief Robert Brown at Zanesville, 0., shows that death made more inroads in the ranks of the veterans during that period than during the six month ending June 30. During the last six months of the year 269 Grand Army men died throughout the state. 1 This is an Increase of thirty-nine over the previous six months. The report shows that one new post was organized during the six months. This was at Bunker Hill. During the period 392 new members were added, which maks a total of 14,804 members in the state at the present time. Forty-three members were honorably discharged, forty-nine were transferred to posts in other states and 428 were suspended. Seven posts surrendered their charters. With the one new post gained, this leaves a net, loss of six posts and 789 members. Taking the number of members gained from the number lost the net

loss for the six months was in the ’ neighborhood of 100 members. The figures show’ that there are 385 posts ‘ with 14,015 members vet in good standing. According to the report the 1 present total valt"'* of the property owned by the G. A. li iu Indiana is • $11,618.41. o A NEW CAR WILL BE ADDED But Change in Schedule Will Not Occur for a Month. This week a second passenger car will be put into operation on the new Fort Wayne & Springfield interurban road and the schedule will then be cut in half, from a car every three hours to one every hour and a half. As, soon as a new air compressor arrives from the factory and can be fitted to the car everything will be in readiness for the new schedule. It is thought that the new car will be put on about Wednesday or Thursday.—Fort Wayne News. Officials of the road here deny the | statement that half hour service is: to’begin next week and say the pres-j| ent schedule will not be changed before April Ist. However, they do ex., ' pect to have the second car ready for service within a few days. o — The Rev. J. C. Dorwin, pastor of the Wheatland avenue Methodist Episcopal chuch at Loganpsort, formerly pator of the Simpson Methodist pastor of the Simpson MethodiSt 1 signed his pastorate and will move to Sheldon, Wash. —Journal-Gazette.

J NEWS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. Miss Dunatlian has been absent from school this week and is ill with 5 lagrippe at her home la Van WerL Her place has been substituted by Mrs. .John R. Partish. Tuesday morning the chapel exer- - cises were conducted by Rev. Kessing- ’ er. Music was given to the school • by Mrs. Dan Vail and Mrs. Arthur 1 Ford. 1 Friday morning chapel exercises ’ were conducted by Prof. Luckey of 3 Lincoln, Nebraska. In his excellent ’ tdlk he made the striking remark c that “A graduate from the high school 3 has 300 opportunities to one of the I graduate from ths common branches, - and that a college , graduate has nine r times the opportunities of the high ■ school graduate.” With his statement . ■ In mind, one of the instructors asked ’ his class of Freshmen how many were 1 determined to finish their high school 1 course. Fully ninty-flve per cent re_ . 1 sponded. Prof. Luckey also dwelt up. on three essential things: Knowledge, - appreciation and expression. ! Miss Florence Sprunger rendered a 1 beautiful piano selection Friday mom. 1 ing. 1 A petition is being circulated and liberally signed by business men of Delphos which appeals to the management of the Clover Leaf railroad to stop all passenger trains at Venedocia. The suggestion and circulation of such a petition is certainly a capital move for the inhabitants of our sister village, as it will afford them an excellent means for leaving and returning to their homes the same day. At present the passenger service is very bad and the Delphos and Venedocia people feel that the Clover Leaf should co-operate wtih them in bettering the condition. —Delphos Herald. Don’t forget that it is a great deal easier to slide down hill than it is to climb up. Likewise, if you do not speak with a guarded tongue you are more apt to injure the reputation of a worthy person than you are to advance them in the estimation of the people, When you push, be sure you are pushing in the right direction. When you say something about a person, say something nice. If ydu can’t say something nice don’t say anything.
