Superintendent of Telephone Company Arrested.

Charles Pultz, manaijer of the construction and repair of the long' distance telephone line that passes through the county two miles north of the city, was arrested at the Columbia hotel, where he is stopping, last night by officer, William Personett, on an affidavit charging him with obstructing the public highway. He gave bond with William Beal and Charles Hannah as sureties, for his ap" pearance in Justice Smith's court Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

It appears that the telephone company is just now making repairs on the line through this county and the people in the neighborhood where the men have been working complained that the superintendent of the work was too careless with the wires, tools, etc., used, leaving them in and about the public highway, and Mr. Pultz, being the responsible party, the warrant was served on him.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The Two Foundations. BY W. C. GOBLE.

Last Sunday we talked about intoxicating liquors and warnings as were given by Solomon the wise man in our lesson of today we are warned against false teachers. There is danger in listening to false teachers as well as in looking at wine. If we study this lesson carefully we learn how to know the true from the false in spite of deceitfulness. There come sad results to the one who builds his life on unsafe foundations. Build your life on the rock of Christ and you will be secure from all storms of temptation.

This is the concluding* section of that great Sermon on the Mount. Christ indicates* how we may guard against error. Action speaks louder than words, but Jesus bids us look deeper, even to motives.

We have studied two sectior of the Sermon on the Mount prior to this one. Jesus sets forth specific directions for the guidance of citizens of His kingdom. The Master teaches us to do our work without attracting the notice of men. We should help the poor, pray in the secret chamber, serve God in our business life and trust Him to direct us in all we do. The man who can not ask God to bless his undertaking had not bet undertake it. The man whose business in not such that he can ask God to smile upon it had better change his vocation.

Many people in the time of Christ did not like His precepts yet Christ had faith to look into the future and foresee that these would have so much value to Christianity that man}? would try to counterfeit it. Like money or anything of value Christian precepts may be counterfeited and are of no value, but like the wolf-nature in sheep's clothing they will show their true self sooner or later. The best test of -my religion is the results shown in the lives of the individuals.

It matters little how earnest one is in his profession if his actions do not coincide. Sometimes goods deeds may be prompted by wrong motives. We should never forget that no greater disaster can come to one as the ruin of his soul.

Talented Young Women Meeting With Success.

Miss Nora Henby of this city is meeting with remarkah1^ success as a reader. She, wii Miss Wymena Kiger and Mrs. Fannie Justus, have visited several Indiana cities and appeared before the most competent and critical audiences. The newspapers of these cities are all extravagant in their praise of the enl- ainment by this trio. Of VJiss Henb}', the Connersville ISews says:

Yhss 'Nora A. Henby. in all her readings from Shakespeare to the latest humor of child dialect, proved herself a thorough master of literature and an interpereter of rare ability.

She possesses a line sens** of humor, keen intelligence and bar rendering of sympathetic selections enabled her to hold her audience spellbound, moving them to both tears and. laughter as she chose. "Her work in child dialect was done in a delicate, artistic and graceful manner and her r»:-rBer-ing of the pathetic story of Patsy, bs KateDouglas Wiggius could not possibly be improved upon. In all her readings Miss Henby shows dramatic instinct and as an expressionist is unexcelled. She possesses the natural qualities of the artist in her marvelous expression and is clever in her portrayal of human emotions."

Mis Henby is now at the head of the Nora Henby Concert Company that has contracts for numerous engagements for the Spring season. Other members of the company are Miss Wookward, violinist, Miss Cunningham, pianist: Misses Behmen and Clarke, soloists.

Surprise Mass Meeting.

On Wednesday evening March 28th, 1906, while Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Barrett were quietly spending the evening at their home, they heard a sound of many footsteps on the veranda and upan opening the door, they found there in a body almost ail their neighbors composing- the Shiloh and Hominy Ridge Tele phone^company, who had pi ted to take them by storm. When Edwards Jacobs and Hayes Bentley appeared in the rear they seemed to be heavily loaded and on closer examination their burden was lifted and presented to Mr. and Mrs. Barrett. It proved to be a handsome large mirror which they gave as a token of appreciation for services given at the swx.ch board in their home. We are sure the recipients are very grateful to these people for the kindness shown them by thus remembering them. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Willielm finished up the surprise by producing two large pans of pop-corn which all sampled as soon as an opportunity offered itself.

Mr. Ben Robbins brought with him his grapliophone and entertained the crowd with many choice selections. Altogether the evening was very pleasant and enjoyable and long to be remembered.
