Dear Brethren:
In preparing the program for
the coming B Y P U Convention
of Collin county, it was the de-
sire of the committee to cover
every phase of young people's
wftrk— o much as was possible.
In this they have succeeded well
as may bo seen by carefully look-
ing over the program.
The committee succeeded in
getting some of the best speakers
9 in the state, whilo no effort whs
spared in having the most, repre-
sentative selection of home talent
possible.
Among the speakers not men-
tioned on the program, but who
have kindly promised to be pres-
ent and deliver addresses ami ren-
der aid otherwise are, Rev W S
SplaNvn ot Bonham and Rev .1 W
English, genoral secretary of B V
P U work in Texas. and others.
The committee has spared no
pains nor cost in the pieparation
for the best gathciing (if the kind
over had in our county. In view
of these tacts 1 desire to say that
«t is our earnest hope:
1. That every Union in the
county will make every effort pos-
sible to have a full representation
at Westminster on Thursday and
Friday before the 3rd Sunday in
April. See Constitution on back
of program. You are entitled to
five.
2. That every church not hav-
ing any Union will send at least
five representatives.
3. That an earnest invitation
may be extended to all neighbor,
ing Unions to be present on that
great occasion*
4. That our older members
may come and aid by their pres-
ence, souncil and prayers.
5. Finally we ask everybody
to speak of this convention. Let
all Baptists consider it their dutf
to help in this work. See to it
that your church, your Unions
and the neighborhood in general
be informed about it.
Those who come by railroad
will be met at Anna on Thursday
morning and evening. All will
be given a free ride and enter-
tainment without money and
without price.
Please notify Rev J W IIol-
lums how many they may expect
from your church. Do so at
once. Please do not fail. Come
early, come praying, come to stay,
l ours in Christ,
John A. Held, Pres.

MAINE rtOUNTAlN DISAPPEARS
In Its Place a Small Lake Now is
in Existence.
%
Canbon, Me, April 1.—Woods-
men who have just returned here
brinv news that Bald Mountain,
a small steep hill in the Tiboque
Valley, only a few miles from the
new Brunswick line, has disap-
peared. In its place a small lake
now exists.
It is believed the mountain
dropped out of sight during the
earthquake of March 21 and that
the tremor which then shook New
England really had its birth in
the Maine woods.
Bald Mountain was an odd-
shaped cone with extremely steep
sides and was seldom explored.
The general belief is that it was
the crater of an extinct volcano.
Around the base of the mountain
small hot springs existed and the
rock formations in the neighbor-
«[)d bear evidence of volcanic
gin.

A difficulty arose over a "crap"
game between some negroes east
of the railroad near tho ice house
Sunday just about dark, which
resulted in Will Hardison shoot-
ing and killing almost instantly
Levi Young.
The altercation began in Hardi-
son's house, and wis renewed
when the negroes went outside
where the shooting took place.
Hardison used a 44 caliber pistol
and the bullet took effect in
Young's throat, striking him just
under the chin breaking his neck.
Young had a box car coupling
pin in his hand when he felt.
Justice T C Andrews held an in-
quest at night, and the verdict
rendered was that "Levi Young
came to his death from a pistol
shot fired by Will Hardison."
Hardison was arrested by Night
Policeman Tom Chumblies and
Deputy Sheriff John Campbell,
and was given an examining trial
last Monday. His bond was sot
at $500, which lie has not yet
made.
Both negroes were about thirty
five years of age, respectively.
Young worked at Clint Stiff's
livery stable last fall.
Beauty and Strength
New York, March 31.—The
members of the Panama Canal
Commission sailed Tuesday for
Colon 011 the steamship Alliance.
They will inspect the entire route
of the canal and look over somo
of the documents of the canal
company, preparatory to the de-
livery of the property to the
United States Government. They
probably will remain at the isth-
mus two mouths. The commis-
sioners were accompanied by Col.
William C. Georgas, Assistant
Surgeon General of the army; Dr.
Lowis Lagardo of the medical de-
partment of the army and Dr.
John VV. Ross, Medical Director
of tho navy. Roger Farnham,
representing William Nelson
Cromwell,counsel for tho Panama
(/anal Company, also sailed 011
the same vessel.
The medical men will plan ar-
rangement* for the sanitation of
the canal zone.
"Our present plan," said Rear
Admiral Walker, chairman of the
commission, "is to go over the
entire route of the canal, making
an investigation of the work done,
the improvements that are neces-
sary and the arrangements that
will have to be made for proper
sanitation in tho district. There
is hardly anything that 1 can say
regarding our plans. No con-
tracts will bo let as the canal is
not actually ours."
When told that William Nelson
Cromwell had said that the com-
mission would act as if tho United
States actually had entire posses-
sion «f tho property, tho Rear
Admiral said:
"That is not so and I do not
think Mr. Cromwell intended to
convey that impression. As to the
question of labor and of contracts
and supplies, these aro things too
far ahead to bo talked of at this
time."
Dr Ross, speaking for the icp-
Mesentatives of tho medical pro-
fession in tho party, expressed
the opinion that under proper
sanitary arrangements the canal
/.one can be made as salubrious as
Cuba.
Among those at tho dock when
the Commissioners sailed was Dr.
Amador, Panama Consul, whoso
father is President of tho now
republic. "The arrival of tho
Commissioners," said Dr. Ama-
doi, "will be tho signal for a
great popular demonstration in
Panama. There will be a series
of entertainments in their honor,
as their arrival means tho con-
summation of the dearest wishes
of the people of the republic."
NEW STATE DEMOCRATIC.
Are desirable. You are strong
and vigorous, when your blood is
pure. Msny—nay, most—wom-

thin and weak, whilo the bright-

Remedy this unpleasant evil, by
eating nourishing food, and tak-
ing a small dose of Herbino after
each meal, to digest what you

Tho secretary of Empire lodge
No. (58,1 O O F, was instructed
at the meeting last night to ad-
dress letters to the different
lodges of the county, asking their
co-operation in formiog a county
IOO F association for tbe pur-
fiose of holding annual meetings
or entertainment, recreation and
the advancement of Odd Fellow-
ship. This is a splendid move,
and is practiced successfully in
other counties, and there is no
reason why it should not be id
thia county.
Editor Niblack Claims 20,000 Ma-
jority for Oklahoma.
Guthrie, Ok., April 1.—Demo-
crats of Oklahoma were advised
yesterday in a published state-
ment by Leslie G Niblack, editor
of the Guthrie Daily Leader, to
hang together for victory as never
before. Niblack claims Oklaho-
ma today is 8,000 Democratic,
and thut Oklahoma Stato, com-
posed of Oklahoma and Indian
Territories, will bo 20.000 Demo-
cratic, giving that party an easy
tiling to elect a full State ticket
and a majority of the congres-
sional, judicial and legislative
candidates.
Habitual constipation is the
door through which many of the
serious ills of tho body are ad-
mitted. The occasional use of
Prickly Ash Bitters will temove
and cure this distressing condi-
tion.
To Sail for Europe.
In a letter received by Mrs.
