THAT was an excellent service at the
Elm street Methodist church Sunday
evening The sermon, the singing and
the music were worth coming miles to
hear. The Skillman Bros. perform
beautifully on the violin and cornet and
their soul string strains reach heaven

is that more people do not turn out to
these services. Whether you are saint
or sinner you could not spend an hour
more profitably.

No Election.

The Tribune has made the discov-
cry hat by reason of failure OF
either party to make nominations 81
prior to the city election, there will
be no election.
This is legally correct. The claim
thar the Silver party regret this is al
error.
The Silver party of Ormsby de-
cided more than a month ago to take
no hand in the city e ection. We
agree with the prop, sliinn that the
present Board give the best of ats
faction tn the taxpayers. Even the
fact that the Mayor owns no real IS
tate within the city limits, and is,
therefore legally disqualified for
Holding the office, does not detract
fir, m the fact that lie makes first
class Mayor, and that no one wishes
to succeed HIM.
If the CITY can save the expenses
of election, the Silver party of
Ormsby is willing that they all held
office for the next ten years.

Many people hate to make ice
cream because of the labor involved.
