The local recruiting office received
word last Friday that Arlo W. Fuller,
of Harrisburg, Ncbr., who enlisted in
Alliance ton Decl4 th, had been ar
rested by tho sheriff at Kimball, Neb.
The young man Is placed under a ser
ious charge, that of desertion. Tho
penalty of which under war condi
tions is either imprisonment or death
by the firing squrd. Tho punish
ment will bo determined by a court-
martial.
Fuller was sent from Allltnnce to
Fort Logan, Colorado, whore he re
mained until January 18, when ho
left the enmp. It In not known what
reasons tho young man had for leav
ing, but it is thought that homesick
ness got tho best of his better Judge
ment, impelling him to take a vaca
tion. Tho fact that ho was caught
near home will probably cause him
to be removed from the extreme pen
alty. Sergeant Scott was notified of the
desertion the first of the week. He
immediately got busy and it Is due to
his efforts that tho recruit was oo
quickly caught. His opinion Is that
Fuller is not responsible to a groat
degree for his indiscretion and that
the military authorities would be
lenient with the young man.

LINCOLN'S ANNIVERSARY
Abraham Lincoln is the most pop
ular namo in American History. He
Is the one colossal figure of the nine
teenth century, and one of the great'
est men since the beginning of time
Few men ever began life so low, and
climbed so high In the seale of human
achievement. The story of his early
life reads like a romance, and his up
ward climb from the Jungles of po
litcal slavery is sublimely heroic His
whole curriculum of education, so far
as schools are concerned, covered
few months in a backwoods school
house. He graduated from the Unl
verslty of Hardknocks taking the first
degree as "Honest Old Abe" His an
nlversary falls on Monday the 11th
Mr. Morris will sneak Sunday night
on "Abraham Lincoln-Prophet Of
Freedom." The church will be appro
priately decorated, special music will
be furnished by the choir and orches
tra. Old soldiers American volun
teers and new recruits, and all Pat
riotic Societies and members are cor
dially invited.
In view of what Lincoln did for
his country, and for tho world at
large, and coming Just at this time in
tho present struggle for humanity's
freedom this service ought to appeal
to the public.
Dr. Morris will speak Sunday mor
ning on "The Modern Church."
The J. T. Nabb sale the fore part
of the week was a big success, Mr
NabNwas highly pleased with the re
sults obtained by Col. Coursey.
About Oonsripatloa
Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On tho other
hand raw fruits, especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote s-move-
ment of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly constipated, however.
the sure way is to take on or two of
Chamberlain's Tablets immediately
after supper.
