Knight Templars Attend Pres
byterian Church in a Body
The Easter day of 1015 was cele
brated in this city in all the churches
with a greater feeling of awakening
leligious than for several years, as the
1 :rge attendance at the different serv
ices demonstrated.
The celebration of Easter is always
one of the greatest events in the
Roman Catholic church, and" the day
yesterday was observed with the
I eautiful and impressive mass of the
church. The St. John's church was
decorated with lilies and potted plants,
which added a touch of beauty to the
iirprcssiveness of the masses. The
beautiful music of the mass was
rendered most beautifully by the
choir. The mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father M. A. bhine, pastor of
the church.
At the St. Luke's Episcopal church
the services of the day were opened
with the celebration of the Holy
:mmunion at a. m., and was fol
lowed by the second service of the
i iimmuiiion at 7 o'clock. The fi ll
choral celebration of the communion
v. as held at 11 o'clock, when a splen
did musical rendition of the service
v.as given by the choir of the church,
and their efforts made the occasion
cue most beautiful, as well as inpiec
sive, as the sweet strains of the music
tilled the church and made the event
ore to be h;ng remembered. The rec
tor, Rev. YV. S. Leeto, gave a splendid
sermon, taking as his subject, "Joy
After Heavieness," an dit was oe of
the most impressive, as weil as inspir
ing, that has been heard in this city
for some time. The altar of the
church was very prettily arranged
wth flowers and palms in com
memoration of the risen Savior.
The German St. Paul's church was
crowded to its utmost capacity to take
j a' t in the Earter service, and the t
church, which has just recen'ly been
thoroughly re-decoarted and renovat
ed, presented a mict beautiful appear

Easter netted the sum of .sllS.."jO. A
very large number of communicant.-;
wore given the fir-t communion at this
service and the whole service through
out served a-; an inspiration to the
members of the church and the spirit
of the risen Lord seemed truly to b?
wih the minister and the congrega
tion on this most auricious occasion.
The services at the ' Methodist
church were all largely attended and
i'.lmost the taitire church membership,
well as a large number of visitors,
v cie present at both the morning and
evening services.- The day was one
set :pa--t for the baptism and reccn

nn:n at the morning hour was one
Miitcd to the Easter day in celebra
tion of the rcssurection of the Savior,
and the pastor. Rev. Druliner, chose
; his subject, "The Witnesses of the
Rcssurection," and it was a most im
pressive and powerful one, covering
the event that has hallowed Easter:
day in the Christian world. The choir
p'.nl (Ilcc club, at this service, gave a
ino.t beautiful anthem selected from
the Easter music, which was thor
oughly in keeping with 4!e sp'-ir. f,f
the day. In the evening the subject!
of the sermon was, "Hid in Christ."
and was one tnat served as an msoira-!
tion to those who were present. Mrs.
E. II. Wescott gave a solo at this serv
ice that was in keeping with the sub-
ject of the sermon, and it added great- :

culminating in the services yesterday
morning in commemoration of the
resurrection. The choir cf the church
had prepared a program of Easter
music that was in itself an inspiration
and proved one of the most pleasing
features of the service, taken in con
nection with the very able address of
Rev. H. G. McClusky, pastor of the
church, taking as his subject, "In the
Garden There Was a Epulchar." This
was followed by the reception of mem
bers into the church, and f eme twer.ty
five were admitted in full members: hip
of the church through the celebration
of the Holy Communion. There were
a number of infant baptisms made at
this service, which were most impres
sive, as the little ones were given the
sacrament that joined them with the
Christian life. The members of Mt.
Vion commandery No. 5, Knights Tem
pplar; were present in a body to cele
brate their Easter communion, and at
the close of the sermon of the pastor
he gave a short address to the mem
bers of the order, which has had such
a force in the life of the world. In
the evening the subject of the sermon
was taken from "The Risen Life," and
was a rare treat in eloquence and
force. A special feature of this serv
ice was the solo by Miss Ethel Hughes,
"Christ, the Savior, Lives Again," and
the beautiful cantata, "The Crucified."
by Ncvin. given by the choir. At the
close of the morning services Rev. Mc

From Saturday's' Paily.
Last evening at the German Uome
was held the second of the series cf
inlerclass basket ball games between
the different classe
of
the High
rchoo!. when the juniors
easily won
from the freshmen by the decisive
rcore of I(l to ! and the victors could
easily have doubled the score had they
desired. The juniors have one of the
fastest organizations in the school and
three of the line-up are members of
the regular High school team, an.l
they will certainly make any cf their
' opponents go some to win from them.
From stait to finish the boys of the
junior team were kept busy in throw
inn: baskets. The winners cf this
gamo will take on the seniors in the
championship game next Firday night.
The players and their positions were:

Kay Larson, center; Arthur White,
left guard; Dewey Zuckweiler, right
guard.
'Freshmen June Marshall, left for
ward; James Persinger. right for
ward; Oliver Harvey, center; George
Dovey, left guard; Cassius Carey,
right guard.
In the second half of the game Carl
Wohlfarth of the freshmen team re
placed rersinger at forward.
The real exciting event of the even
ing, however, was the game staged
between the girls' team of the High
school and the faculty, . and it was
'vaimly contested, with many interest
ing plays pulled off by the members
cf the teams, and when" the smoke of
battle roiled away the High school
zirls were found the victors by the
score of 10 to R. The line-up of the
two teams v.a? as follows:
High School Elsie Rocssler, right
forward; Coenna Hundley, center;

Mor.gey, right guard.
I -acuity Kathryn Windham, left
forward; Mattie Larson, right for

THE CASUAL AND THE USUAL.
We view with amazement the casual
things
Life's mirror so fitfully holds to
our view,
But sober reflection unfailingly brings
Conviction that if our discernment
be true,
Facts far more astounding are every
where rife
The commonplacejnatters of everyday
life. . -
The love of excitement, the craving
for change,
Environments ceasing to weave the
eld spell,
Things wonted rejected for casual and
strange;
Much better if longings like these
we shall quell;
Let's cherish our blessitrgs, though
simpler they be,

TOlfl PARMELE SEES.
PLENTY OF SNOW IN
THE SAND HILLS
From Putunliiy's I;ii1y.
T. E. Parmele went out to the big
Parmele ranch near Lrokcn Row Sun
day. He reports a great scarcity of
hay in the sand hill country west of
Broken Row near Running and Ilyan
nis anil that much hay is being ship
pod to the ranchers from Rroken Row.
The heavy snow and long winter has
been a great hardship to range cattle
and many have perished.
In a drive of fourteen miles Mr.
Parmele says that two-thirds of the
time he could not reach the top of
the drifts sitting in the buggy, and
that it will take a month of warm
weather to melt the snow. He says
there is double the amount of snow
on the ground out there now than we
had here at any one time the past
winter. This solves the problem of
why it remains cold here when the
wind comes from the north. Louis

ROAD FROM THE SUB
WAY TO THE FERRY IN A
DEPLORABLE CONDITION
While ('own at the Burlington sta
tion the other day we noticed the veiy
lamentable condition of the road at the
ca:t end of the .subway and it is cer
tainly time that somebody cot busy
and saw to it that this place was fixed
up-, as it is practically impassable, and
b2ing on the main road leading to
Iowa, certainly should be put in better
.'nape than it is at present, as it is
hi verj- bad condition. The water from
Main street flows down through the
tubway, striking the rough broken
pieces of concrete that once served as
part of the driveway, it spreads out
into the road and has succeeded in
forming a large mudhole which is in
itself almost too eleep for a team or
automobile to get through.
There should be some concerted ef
fort made by the city council and
Commercial club to see that this part
of the road is fixed up i nsuch shape
that it can be used by persons desir
ii.g to drive here from points across
the river. When the subwaj' was first
put in there was concrete placed at
tiie east end, but one season saw this
broken up, and since that time this
place has been one of the roughest
spots in the road, with holes from
which the concrete had been broken
nul piled up along the roadwajr and
the places filled with pieces of bricks
and rocks, and the continued flow of
the water there had the effect of mak
ing it impassable in bad weather, as
the water stood there for days, and
to attempt to get through was quite a
strain on any automobile or wagon.
The cost of fixing this place up
would not be great, and for the gen
eral welfare of the? business interests
oi the city it should be done as soon
s possible.
Suffering From the Grippe.
From SBttirday'3 Paily.
For the past week Jesse Perry, the
barber, has been feeling rather poorly
and has finally been compelled to re
main at home suffering from the
grippe, which has gotten the best of
him, and he is reported as being con-
fined to his bed suffering from this
if Diction. Jesse- has made a hard
fight against the inroads . of the
grippe, but it has finally won out and
he will find it necessary to take an
enforced vacation for a few days at
least.

Kcping the Streets Clean

as
There are many people ' who are
thoughtful for the appearance of their
jv. -
lutelv careless as to the general an-
. - r.
pearance of their town. Comparative
ly few people, who have a sense of
cleanliness at all, would litter up their
own home grounds by throwing re
fuse out of the windows. Yet the
rame people will scatter paper bags
and other waste matter about the
streets of their town.
Then they
complain against the local officers if
the place is not kept in a neat con
dition. Most people also feel some
pride about keening up home places
Tho will tuL. naWia not to mn nvr
grass bankings, and will scrupulously
follow paths. Rut when they go down
town they will cut corners, gradually
wearing down riots of crass, and give
the town an unfinished and run-down
r.ir.
No matter how much money a town
spends to keep its public ways in
rood shape, it will never have a neat
and tidy appearance unless its citi-
zens co-operate. People should feel a
positive sense of shame in throwing
away anj-thing that would make their
streets look unattractive. In some
places boj-s and girls are trained to
i-,ick up waste paper that is fljing
i bout the streets. With a lot of
youngsters active in that waj not
merely to remove evidences of other
people's disorder, but not to make any
of their own, it is astonishing how a
town's appearance can be transform -
ed. Allowing public streets to remain
in a tlisorderlj condition must hurt
the reputation of a town. In these

visitors const.ntlj' from near and far

From an extra issued last Sundsy
by the Glenwood Journal we leirn
some particulars of a foul murder
committed juBt across the river at
HajTiie Switch on Saturday night last.
About 8 o'clock two shots were heard
fired by parties living in the vicinitj,
and the next morning a couple of
tramps brought intelligence that two
dead bodies were lyvng on the trac.
Investigation proved the truth of the
report and the bodies proved to be
those of William Doran, assitant fore
man of the force working at the stone
quarry, and John Tjmer, a workman
at the quarry. They had been :hot,
and had probably died almost instanc-
ly. An examination of the vicinity
showed the marks of two men having
hojn ;n the grass near-bv. apparently
in wait for them, and the object ap-
I peared to have been their money, as
Doran w:as known to have had UV0
gone, and Tyner is supposed to hive
had some monej'. Both men had fam-
sus-lilies living near by. Suspicion rests
(upon a young man who was dischar-
ed from the quarries a short time b
fore. This is a most cold-blooded an':
fiendish murder, the perpetrators cf
which no efforts should be spared to
f.nd and speedily bring to justice

The B. & M. east bound freight met
with a serious accident on Saturday
afternoon, last, a short distance thi.i

been raging in that vicinitj'i and had
got into a bridge which the engince.
did not discover, the bridge being
near a curve, until too late to stop the
train. The engine and tender went
over safely and then the bridge wenc
down and the cars to the number of
thirteen piled upon it and each other.
Two or three cars were loaded with
cattle and hogs and nine with corn
shipped by C. H. Pinkham of South
Bend. The cars almost immediately
caught fire and bumed very rapidly;
some of the cattle escaped by the
bursting open of the cars allowing
them to swim to shore, but a number
were burr.ed, as also the grain. There
was fortunately no loss of human life.
This is a severe loss to the compt't,y.
We heard some talk of arresting the
parties who set the fires, but did not
learn if it had been done, or who the
parties were. The bridge was re-
paired by the next day and trains run
ning as usual.
