It has beea the most successful meeting of late years. Thf attonrlanrA ha hpen lartre. not onlv from within the iurisdiction of this meeting, but there were many visit ors from other yearly meetings whose council and presence was much appreciated. This morning most of those visitors who still remainwl man v left during vesterdav and last evening returned to their homes. A few remain for the bal ance of the week, visitinir friends. but the vearlv meeting of 1901 has gone into history of the society. The meeting for devotions last evening was the largest of the series in point of attendance by those not in the society and was a profitable one. The main business of interest yesterday afternoon was the decision in regard to adopting the new disci pline. The discipline in the society of Friends is a good dea like the constitution of the United States in its powers and action. Heretofore each yearly meet inir. and there are thirteen of them in America, had had its own discipline, and as they all act together in many points, this led to some confusion and soma working at cross purposes The new constitution or discipline is one for all the yearly meetings and is made up from sugges: tions and experiences from all t e yearly meetings. It is this whicu has aken no so much time. each yetrl ' meeting having to consider it, amend it as they found the needs of th meeting to require ana report it on to another meeting. Up vo date all but three of the yearly meeting? have adopted it and these three have Thic foariir meeting eaWer Ttr session decided to auop n bbsi year, but yesterday the matter was reeoa sidered and it was adopted at once. It is therefore the discipline of this vearly meeting and rules the societj from now on. The changes from the old discipline are many, but it is im possible to give them in a newspap -i in understa"dable shape. They wih be iriven io the printed book of the minutes of the meeting. It is st:T subject to amendment, but can only be amended in Five Year Meeting one of which occurs next year.

Speaking of the course of the Winchester high school with regard to the Richmond high school team, the Herald cf yesterday says: "We tried to make it clear that if the Richmond and Muncie teams were recognized that our school would play them, if

not we would not. As far as Richmond and Muncie being "Blacklisted" that is a mistake, as our boys will play any regularly organized B. S. team that is recognized by the faculty." Our relations with Richmond as well as Muncie have always been exceedingly friendly and we hope to keep this up. " C. R. & M. The C. R. & M. railroad company awarded onntrafts ntiirrlaw tnr 1ha

Accidental Shooting. An accident which is deeply regretted by all occurred at the Adams express office at the Panhandle station this uaornirg. Charley Bond and Harry Cates were cn duty at a little after 7 o'clock and had the office revolver, a big 44 calibre. How the accident occurred no one knows, the boys themselves having no idea. It went oft, and the bullet caught Bond in the leff arm fcelow the elbow and ranged upward past the joint and imbedded itself in the arm. Bond went at once to Dr. Weist's oSice. The doctor probed the wound to a great distance and finally located it under the large muscle, almost half way to the shoulder. As it would necessitate cuttimr the arm a good deal to get it out, and it will do no harm there, it was decided to leave it where it is. The wound was dressed and no bad effects are anticipated. No blame attaches to any one. It was an unaccountable accident.

The troops were attacked while unprepared, by 400 liolouieii, of whom the Americans killed about 150. Many of the soldiers were killed In their quarters before they had time to grasp their rifles. General Hughes is going to the scene of the disaster and will personally command tue troops. A new branch of the Katipunan has been discovered at Tarlac, the capital of the province of that name. The object of the society Is the slaughter of whites. Marcelino Marivie, president of Banoang. is the chief of the new branch, which includes numbers of the native constabulary, who were recently armed. One policeman admits that he was taxed a dollar and was ordered to make bolos. A regular collection has been mad by the organization from the natives, either by persuasion or threats, and an uprising had leea planned at au early date. The conditions at Tayabaa and Catangas are not reassuring. The worst form of guerilla warfare prevails there. The Insurgent forces are distributed, under cover, along every road and trail, and wait ior travelers in ambush. The insurgent leader Caballos. who formerly belonged to General Cailles's command, but who refused to surrender with Cailles, is retreating to the niountaius.

This department included all the central islands cf the Philippine archipelago. During the last month onr soldiers have been active in an attempt to subdue rebellion, which is confined to the boundaries of that island.
