Tire feast of St. John was fittingly observed last night at Masonic hail by f'roeport Consistory and a large number of the members participated in the feast of obligation. Arrangements were also made for the spring meeting of the Consistory which will be held during the week commencing February 20. By the recent action of the grand council, the minimum fee for the degrees was fixed at an increase of $4 over last year, but as no portion of the increased fee goes to the local body, the members discussed the advisability of increasing the fee. This will no doubt be in eifect after the Consistory moves into the temple and the proposition to fix the fee at $100 will then be accomplished.

Trains Delayed and Telegraphic Communication Interrupted. The blizzard which swept over Freeport last evening was widespread and reports indicate that in every section trains are running several hours late and that great havoc has been done to telegraph and telephone lines. Passenger trains into the city had the appearance of huge mountain of snow and ice and the blockades at many points compelled the roads to abandon the running of trains on schedule time. The street car service was interrupted, although cars were run at intervals.

On the interurban line cars were late and one of the cars came into Freeport minus the headlight, which had been lost in the storm. A force of linemen was sent out early today to repair the wires along the railroad and by noon the business had resumed its normal condition. Party at Chapman Home.

Battbonheinier, is still shrouded in mystery and the matter is now resting In the hands of the local authorities, who areJ making heroic efforts to locate him. A JOUKNAT, reporter called at the home at 04 Oak street, this noon, but Mrs. Stearns was not disposed to go into the details of the matter, hlio is considerably broken up over the affair and believes that her husband will not return. Nevertheless, she has a host of friends who buoy up her hopes that as soon as the glamor has worn off of his escapade he will gladly return to the lite he had lived up to six months ago. Mrs.

Stearns did noteven have an inklmgof her husband's desertion until late Monday afternoon. In the morning Mr. Raubenheimer telephoned to her asking why her husband had not come to work. She informed Mr. Raubonheiiner that lie had left the house Sunday morning intending to spend the day with his parents at Lanark, and probably missed the train.

This explanation seemed to satisfy Mr. Raubenhsi- mer for the. time. His curiosity, however, had been aroused 111 the mean time as Stearns had taken his tools with him. After inspecting the contents of several drawers Mr.

Ratibon- heimer found a letter addressed to Mrs. Stearns and he immediately forwarded it to her. The contents of the letter conveyed the startling intelligence that he had departed to return no more. Mrs. Stearns advised with her father, Philip Werntz, who advised her to make an effort to locate him.

Ihe matter was placed in the hands of the police, and since then the officers have interviewed a woman who has been suspected of endeavoring to force a separation between the couple. It was at first thought that she had accompanied him in his flight, but she has told the officers that she has no intention of following him. While a JOURNAL reporter was interviewing Mrs. Stearns, a bright eyed little baby girl tottled into the room and climbed up into her mother's lap. The little one is the perfect image of her father and it, was indeed a sad scene that was enacted there-.

The baby caressed.her mother fondly, wholly unconscious of the fact that her father had deserted her. She chattered and smiled and the mother drew her closer as she talked husband and the child's resemblance to him. It is plainly evident chat Mrs. htearns expects to hear from her husband at some future date, but she is unable to assign any reason why she will. She has been advised to make a drastic effort to find him and it is highly probable that her expectations will be realized.

Says He Did Not Threaten to Injure His Landlady. Roy Younger gives a different version of tho occurrences at the home of his landlady, Mrs. Atkins, who wanted to have him arrested yesterday for brandishing a knife. He says that perhaps he was a trifle intoxicated when he arrived home tho night before last, but that he did not molest Mrs. Atkins.

He went to the stove and tried to puta bigchunk in the fireplace, but before he could, do so the smoke filled the room, and Mrs. Atkins appeared at the door and inquired regarding the cause. Younger says the chunk slipped from his hands and a big sliver imbedded itself in one of his lingers and that he opened his pocket knife in order to remove the sliver. Mrs. Atkins became frightened and sent to the police station for protection.

High School Alumni Association. EDITOR JOITHXAL: Reading in your paper last evening concerning the formation of an Alumni association of tho High school, 1 wish to use this means of voicing my approval of this movement and urging tho hearty co-operation of the graduates. Knowing something of the services of tho Alumni association rendered to the college of which I am a graduate, I feel that the High school would be much benefited by the formation of such an organization. Many needed improvements could be made to the High school through the influence of the association. Not only could these material ends be gained, but also would it be a means of bringing the old students of the High school in closer touch with each other.

There has been some fooling among the alumni that tho time lias now come for some action to be taken in this regard, and Friday evening a meeting is to be held at Lexington hall at 8 o'clock, to crystallize the sentiment which has been expressed of late. It is hoped that all alumni will show their loyalty to the High school and make this a success.

For some time there has been a feeling among the graduates of the Freoport High school thatan Alumni association should be formed to promote the welfare of the school and to keep together the members who have become alumni. Tho need of such an organization has just found expression in an informal conference of several of the graduates who met yesterday with Mr. Raines and Mr. Fulwider, to start things a going. As a result an open meeting is called for next Friday evening at 7:45 o'clock in Lexingto'n hall.

All tho.se who have graduated from the High school are urged to attend and assist in perfecting plans for a permanent organization. A dance will follow the business mooting. Kevolvtiou Iiuiuiiumt.
