A BungIing Expert =

Springfield Register:
During the past few weeks number Of
discrepancies in the compilation of the
laws passed by the last general assembly,
resulting from the carelessness of lepisla-
tive clerks or others, have been made pubs
TIC careful revision of the official edi>
ton OF the laws as published under the
authority of the secretary of state shows
such vast number of mistakes that the
volume is rendered about totally useless
as an attempt to enforce the laws as they
now appear therein would impose an un-
warranted hardship upon the people of the
state and would no doubt create an IN
limited amount of litigation, which could
only he settled by the supreme court after
tedious fight of years.
1t seems the trouble is entirely charge
able to the state printer expert, Don. X
Frasier. or his assistants, in carelessly
reading the proofs of the volume for the
public printer. In a great many of the acts.
important and material sentences of four or
six words are omitted, leaving the Sec
tons comparatively meaningless, and in
Others the omissions OF words conveys a
meaning entirely opposite that intended
by the legislature, while several of th c
titles are incomplete because of the omis-
sion of sections therein, which won Id
render the entire act unconstitutional
should occasion arise to have cont
pass upon that point. IhIess the
error could be showE by access to the
original act. In connection with these
mistakes, vast number of Typographical
mistakes are apparent, and while these
are not so important, the volume as it
stands is practically worthless for public
uses. The volume has been given a
wide circulation. not only in this state,
but in exchange for laws of other states,
and the only way of satisfactorily RENE,
dying the errors is to go TO the expense
of printing another edition. Whether
this will be done is not now known, but
it is probable it will.

CARBON CLIFFS NEW CHURCH
A Beautiful Little House OF Worship
Dedicated Yesterday by Rev. q. w.
cue and Others

A Beautiful Little House OF worship
Gue and Others.
Yesterday was red letter day for the
thriving. wide-awake town of Carbon
Cliff. For several months the citizens
have been interested in the building of a
beautiful Methodist Episcopal church
and a gem of beauty it is-now COM
pleted. Complete in every part. nothing
left out, it is all that could be desired in
church building
Yesterday was the day selected for the
dedication of the new church to God. 1t
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
was all provided for before dedication
save 1886. which it was thought could be
raised 1T the dedication service. The
day was perfect and the congregation
fine. All were in the best of spirits. The
sermon was preached by Rev. ca w.
Cue. of this city, and the theme of his
discourse was Attachment to the
church"
The singing was by a special choir I'M
der the leadership of w. Il. Cary.
At the close of the sermon Mr. Cue
made a statement Of the financial condi-
tion and asked the people TO contribute
S40O, and in n comparatively short time
he announced 10 the people that they had
subscribed $500 and it was about
time to quit. After the dedicatory
service the benediction was pronounc-
ed and about as happy people
AS ever gathered in Carbon Cliff
fingered about the church shaking
hands and congratulating each other in
good old Methodist fashion. Rev. d. s.
McCown, of Brimfeld, IN former
pastor at Carbon Cliff was present, and
moved around the congregation helping
the people to get their names down for
subscription. He rendered valuable ser.
vice. Great credit is due Rev. G. W.
Peregoy, of Hampton, who also Officiates
at Carbon Cliff, and was the inspiring
cause Of building the church This is
the second church he has moved the peo-
Pile TO build this conference year in the
Hampton circuit. and also doing exten
sive repairing on the church property in
Hampton. Mr.. PereCoy is the kind of
preacher who will always be in demand.
He is a regular hustler.
This new church, however. would
never have been built had it not been for
the self-sacrificing men and women IN
and about Carbon Cliff, who so freely
and promptly gave of their means, while
Mr. Cues efforts Yesterday were respon>
sible for the magnificent subscription.
When it comes to raising money for
building churches trust Mr.. Cue every
time

service.
