Dr. Somerville Light was chosen as ministerial delegate to the general conference to be held in Minneapolis, Minn. Delegates from the Northern Indiana conference were instructed to vote for the retention of the rule which forbids card playing and dancing. The following report of this charge was made by Dr. Light, superintendent of the Goshen district: • ' “Brother A. L. Weaver, pastor at Syracuse, after a hard fought battle, scored a great victory in the rebuilding of the church at that place. This church, as it now stands, with modern appartments throughout, is to all intents and purposes new and complete. The dedicatory services were conducted by the district superintendent Sunday morning, October 22. A little more than $4,000 was needed to meet all claims. The people willingly subscribed $4,726 and this beautiful church was rededicated with great joy. Brother Weaver is the man for such tasks and never|fails. He is a happy combination of preacher, pastor, architect, master mechanic, day laborer, financial secretary and hale fellow, well met.”

Drowned In Barbee Lake. Emlin Kuhn, aged 25 years and Lester North, 16, were drowned Monday in Barbee lake at 2:30 p. m., when a canvas boat in which they were hunting, capsized. Ward Vanatta, 18, who was in the boat with them, narrowly escaped their fate by clinging to the branches of an overhanging willow tree until Charles Weimer, a farmer, attracted by his pries and those of the drowning men, could hitch a horse to a boat, drag it to the water and go to his rescue. The body of Kuhn was recovered a half hour later, while that of North was not found until 7 o’clock in the evening. The boat in which the young men started out hunting was a small canvas boat built only for one person and while they realized their danger they seemed to have no fear in going out in the small boat. They all lived near the lake and were good swimmers, but in the ice cold water their limbs soon become helpless,. Young North was an orphan and had been raised by an aunt, Mrs. Hamon Fetters. Kuhn was married and leaves a widow and three children.

THE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL What are the initiative, the referendum and the recall ? They are words in everybody’s mouth just now, but a pretty fair proportion of those who talk about them have a vague idea of what they mean, says a writer in the New York Times. Summing them up, they may be said to be three instruments whereby the representative system of government so long in use in this country will be considerably enfeebled and the people will obtain a more direct control and management of the government than they have ever had. All these three propositions are importations from Switzerland, where the initiative and referendum have been in force for half a century, the recall not so long, and may be summed up as follows: 1. The initiative. If a certain percentage of voters wish a certain . law adopted they can submit it to the legislature, which must, in turn, submit it to a referendum. 2. The referendum. If a certain number of voters demand an opportunity to vote upon a bill, the legislature must submit it to them, and the people decide by vote whether it shall or shall not become a law. 3. The recall. If a certain percentage of voters demand the right to decide whether a public official shall continue to hold office or must retire to private life, the question must be submitted to the people at an election. If they vote against him he must give up his office, whether the term for which he was elected is anywhere near its end or is just beginning. Farmer Sowed Oats in Snow. There is one farmer in Wabash county who does not intend to be imposed upon by the weather prognosticator. In fact, he has literally taken the bull by the horns in anticipation of spring and has already sown a large field of oats. The aggressive farmer is James Boyce, who resides near Lafontaine. Mr. Boyce is well-known throughout the community, and while sowing oats at this time is somewhat of an experiment Mr. Boyce believes that he will have one of the best yields notwithstanding the fact that the oats were scattered over the grow nd covered with snow for a depth of several inches. The theory of Mr. Bovce is that as snow melts the oats will gradually work themselves into the ground and that his oats will have the start of several days at least over any sown by his neighbors. The method was taken by Mr. Boyce because of the backwardness of spring and because from present indications owing to the accumulation of farm work if the oats were not sown now they would never be. Ina short time ground must be plowed for com and he absolutely would not have time to do the necessary farm work if he did not get his oats out of the way at onee.—Rochester Sentinel.
