ST. PATHS CHAPEL

The trustees of the st. Pauls NJ f.
church have removed their chapel from
the corner of Waco and Thirteenth streets
to their recently furnished lots, corner of
Lawrence avenue and Thirteenth street,
and the regular services will be conducted
there on Sunday next.
Sunday school at $50 a. ~, and preach
ing at II a. M, and Sp m. This is Wichi-
ta's way of doing things, not losing a
single service by the removal.
They will occupy this chapel for the
present and until they and the community
consider it we'll to go ahead and rent q
church. 1t is their purpose to build a
church that will be an ornament to the
city and not an injustice to any Of the
sister churches. The converging of so
many street car and motor lines at this
point and its central location, as to popu-
lation, make 1t very desirable to have
church there. They are highly gratifed
to lind that the people in the north part of
the city are showing a lively interest in
this undertaking and all agree in favoring
the location. The board of trustees are
all of them good level headed and prosper
Gus business men, interested not only in
the success Of this enterprise, but in pros
perity of the city as well.
A good Sunday school and large con-
gregation have already been secured under
the faithful efficient labor Of the pastor,
Rev. Z. a. Hoyt. He is christian gentle
man, clear headed and forceful preacher,
diligent and faithful worker, and justly
won his way to the hearts OF that commu-
nifty.
The ST. Paul's people and their pastor
merit the confidence and support of the
community which we are confident viii
not be lacking

Cheers followed the announcement that

to be the custom to make a speech but he
had not prepared for a speech. He in
sisted that he would not be true to him
sells or friends if he did not say something
He said that he had never before asked for
a nomination. The canvass had been fair
He had always said he would be for the
nominee, and in the face of the circum-
stances he could not go back
on it, Some have been scared
about the resolutions. But now
| ask you grangers if you are governed by
metropolitan police force. If the oppor-
tunity presents itself / shall vote for
Plumb to succeed himself.
Van Deman was called upon and said he
could not have accepted the nomination
under the resolutions. If the city would
prepare the bill to repeal the police law he
would assist in supporting it but he would
not want to prepare the bill himself.
The Democratic party is an English

fit them. The Republican party is

A BIG THING.
Is the Conroy Stone Quarry when Viewed
as Memphis Sees it-What is being
Done There.

There are comparatively few peo-
pie in this city of seven hills, aware
of the fact that a new and life long
industry has been opened to our
laboring classes by which all who
wish can earn good wages. This en-
terprise is the conroy blue limestone
quarry company, who have now
about thirty men employed and
want as many more, provided they
will work regularly. This quarry is
located just north of the bridge across
Red river, on the Hopkinsville pike,
and there is an inexhaustible sup
ply of stone there that is in great de-
.mand, thus making constant and
lucrative employment possible for
all who want to work. The company
is now filling a contract for 100 car
loads of block street paving stone
for the railroad compact that owns
and controls the union depot at
Memphis, who by its contract with
that city is compelled to pave up
wards of mile of the river front
with it. This stone is hewn down
to blocks similar to those made at
the great quarries of Virginia gran
lite, which is now used by so many
of the large cities of the North and
East. The city engineer of Mem
phis has made several severe tests
of Clarksville stone, with the Vir-
ginia granite, and recently he rend-
cred his dicision to the Mayor and
Board of that city in which he de-
clared the Clarksville stone the equal
and possibly the superior article. On
the strength of this, the city officials
established Clarksville stone as the
standard for the streets of that city,
and as matter of course the Conroy
Company will have big market for
their product for a long time to
come.
During an interview with Mr..
Conroy at noon to-day he stated that
he was shipping about five car loads
a day on the Memphis depot order,
but that he wanted more help in
order to get through with it so he
could tackle the Memphis city job.
Teams and teamsters will be in de-
mand, and upon the whole, the Con-
roy blue limestone quarry is enjoy
ing a decidedly pleasant business
like boom upon which every citizen
of Clarksville should congratulate
the man who had the pluck and
to tackle such solid. noun
tain of stone and work it up for the
benefit of the human family, in
many different Ways.

THE STRIKE rs SETTLED.
The Men Are Cool and Deliberate and
Make An Excellent Impression.
Strikers Win.

CHICAGO, It'll, Oct. 14.-The strike
of the North Side street car men is
settled. The company agree to make
the runs of the regular cars not less
than ten hours a day, the ''set' car
system having been abolished and
the hours system to be int codued.
Thecompanyal alsoagreest to take back
all the old men, except such as by acis
of violence, against the company's
employees or property forfeited all
claims 10 consideration, and the COM
pany finally agrees to increase the
old standard of wages 6 per cent for
all grades of carmen.
This settlement is the result of
conference that lasted over six hours.
President Yerkes, Vice President
Winston and Attorney Furthman,
of the company, and the executive
and conference committeeman of
strikers were participants in the
meeting, Mapor Roche acting as me-
diator.
The men made an excellent inn
preston and acted deliberately,
though there were more radicals
among them. Mr.. Yerkes was suave
and Mr.. Roche was earnest and thor
ough. Sometimes he was very de-
cisive when he insisted that the city
and the people had rights which must
be respected. Time and again the
meeting was at the very pSint\ of
up without a result. M

time increase the share of the labor
