Fourth-God furnishes such power
as is needed for the accomplishment
of His work. Through His agents as

life, floods it with light, tears down

the divine method of power, but a

the divine by this process. The agent
of the seed of Israel born and bred in
lowly estate is Jesus. The mountain

MORE PAVING TALK.
Some of Our Merchants
on the Subject.
Macadamized Streets are Still in
Favor, Although They Must Be
Constructed. on New Basis==What
They Think of Brick.

The serious condition of our streets
during the past wet weather and the
consequent unbearable mud has again
set the business men to debating on
the problem, "What Shall we Dc
With Our Streets?"
Economical motives seem to enter
considerably into the question, and
perhaps it is due to this fact that
many are in favor of thorough trial
of the macadam system rather thar
enter into expensive and time-cOnSum
ing contracts for paving.
The subject has been thorn ir
the side of our merchants for five
years and no solution has yet offered
itself, but the consequences following
rainy season are becoming more ser
ious every year, and when the bust
ness men appear anxious for a way
out of the difficulty they are not to be
blamed.
Paving costs lots of money, and in
these times of financial uncertainty
the cOnservativeness of heavy invest
ments in this kind of property may
well be questioned. The quotations
for material per yard placed in posi-
tion are as follows: Cedar blocks, &C
cents; brick, 81. A; asphalt, about S4
City Engineer Haynes said this
morning that macadam cost about 9(
cents per square yard, or the same as
cedar blocks.
"Now you're whistling," said G. FL
Saulpaugh when the FREE PRESS re,
porter mentioned paving, 'and brick
is the only material to be used. When
you speak of paving with brick, how
ever, some of them think you mean the
same quality as is put into buildings

NEW MUSIC HOUSE.
TheiFirm of KimbaIl s Co., Chicago,
to Open Branch in Markato in the

Representative of the firm of Kim
bali & Co., the Chicago piano and or
gan.manufacturers, was in the city
today and concluded negotiations for
long lease of the Ray building at

pied by Joseph Ruerup's Racket store.
Allarge stock of pianos and organs
wilHat once be put in, and it is under
stood complete line Of small instru-
melts and sheet music is also to be
carried.
The importance of this addition to
Mankato's business interests is at once
apparant. The Kimballs are among
theFlargest manufacturers of musical
instruments in the United States,
and they establish branch houses only
in the best business towns. That
they will advance their trade with
sound financial backing and liberal
business methods there can be no
doubt.

"The Hero of Honor" ("

The services at the Mankato thea
tire yesterday were largely attended,
about 900 at the morning service and
quite as many in the evening. In the
morning Rev. Lee W. Beattie preached
on the theme "The Service of Christ -
in the evening he delivered his fourth
lecture on "Heroes" Subject, ''The
Hero of Honor" Text, Numbers
14:24, my servant Caleb" In part
he said: ''Many of the less noted
characters of history when tested by
the rule of AN all-round man. out
shine many of those of whom more is
made. Caleb was less noted than
Moses. But there are fewer marks
against him. The true test of mans
worth is not in one trait. A man NAV
be as honest as possible, but as mean
and selfish and ungenerous as can be.
On the other hand, some men are so
generous as not to hesitate to give
away what belongs to others. But
there are some traits more compre-
hensive than others. Honor is one.
1t includes honesty and more; it takes
in purity of life and generosity as
we'll.

Front street.
"The sewer and water connections
fOreVery business lot should first be put
in and run inside the curb to prevent
tearing up in future. The street should
then be leveled, and a foot of ma
cadamized rock put in with six-inch
covering of gravel. A steam roller run
over this will reduce it to the solidity
OF brick, and it would be many years be-
fore we would have any trouble
with our streets on account
of diSarrangement Of the mat
erial and consequent mud.
Brick paving, owing to the small size
Of the material, is not suitable. The
traffic of heavy wheels across it's sur
face soon beats it down in places and
the water and mud stand in puddles
about the streets"
"SOmething must be done with the
streets" said L. Pat terson. 1t would
seem that during the thousands of
years that man has passed up and
down public thOroughfares some solu-
tiOn OF how to pave them might have
been offered but it has not. The
great cities of the world have tried
one thing after another, objections
having been found to each, and today
! the matter is still an open question.
Brick is my choice for Front street.
Mayor Weaver said: 81 had rather
leave an expression of opinion to the
business men. | believe, however,
that they generally prefer macadam
to paving"
City Engineer Haynes was pro-
nounced in his opinion. "The late,
rains have disgusted me with the
whole macadamizing business. We
have spent more money vainly trying
to keep the streets in passable condi-
tion than it would cost to pave Front
street from end to end.'
| The last issue of the Engineerfnq
NeaCs, in lengthy discussion of brick
as a material for paving, concludes
with the following:
Robert E. McMath, President of the Board of
| Public Works of st. Louis, prefers brick to as
phalt, and says that brick is the coming pave
ment. Good paving brick are now made in
many different localities, and the quality of the
product is constantly improving. In Indian

Divine Method of Power. "

Centenary NJ. E. church was filled
at both services on Sunday. The
pastor, Rev. J. f. Stout, preached in
the morning on "The Divine Method
Of Power" The text was Isaiah 41st
14-16, "Fear not thou worm, Jacob
thou shalt thresh the mountains, and
beat them small"
These words were uttered by the
prophet in a time of threatened dis
aster, and were intended to inspire
the fainting hearts of the faithful
They contain the divine method of
power for all ages or crises. 1t is pos
sible to put the several thoughts of
the text in few propositions easily
understood, and these we shall do we'll
to consider.
First-For all Gods work on earth
there is need of a seen and known
cause or agent. In this case it is the
people of Israel who have before them
a herculean task. The deliverance
will come to Israel not from direct
divine Intervention, but by the neces-
sary activity of the people them
selves. 1t is still true that Goods
people must be willing in the day of
His power"
Second-The seen cause or agent is
never in itself sufficient to do the
work in hand. In this case Israel,
the agent, is likened to a worm. and
the difficulties before Israel to a
mountain range. The worm can never
thresh the range or beat it small
alone. Gods servants are helpless in
presence of their enemies. Their hope
is not in their own might or strength.
Third-God expects that agent to be
at its best. The highest development
of human power and agencies is
pleasing to God, and he supplements
when the human power reaches it's
limit. That this is true is seen by
the agents God has used in all the

"The hero of honor stands up to
the rack unfiinchingly, because he is
right. The hero Of honor carries an
unsullied conscience. The hero of
honor comprehends the meaning of
duty, and performs it though the
heavens fall. Caleb was such man.
Every glimpse we have of him in
Scripture .elicits our hearty praise, be-
cause in his private life he was pure
in his public life he was upright-in
his religious life he was devoted.
First-Eyery man owes it to himself
to be honorable. No one can afford to
be constituencies. Honor has to do
primarily with his own personal
purity Marcus Aurelius said: What
ever anyone says or does, | must be
good: Just as if the emerald were say
ing, 81 must always be emerald and
keep my color."' Second-No man S
duty terminates on himself. No man
'dieth to himself Every man has
public duties as well as private duties;
hence we are bound to live decently:
we can't live decently without we live
honOrably; we can't live honOrably
without deep sense of public honor.
"The already too prominent senti-
ment that public Office is private
snap or public office is a personal
sinecure, is sapping the sense of pub
lie honor among many public men,
and lowering the sense Of honor
When the office seeks the man honor
is not compromised When man seeks
the office, honor is discounted in the
trading and promises to pay that
which can never be fulfilled and the
public properly served. Men have no
more business to be seeking for public
office than clergymen for pulpits.
The latter are froWned upOn-the
former ought to be.
There was something unique in
the old New England town meeting,
where men assembled to nominate
one whom they wanted; this was in
the struggle for freedom against a
king. We have another king rising
with power in our land, spelled
c-a-u-c-u-S, with emphasis on the last
syllable. 1t is becoming the tyrant
that is already grinding our munich
palities under a machine rule that is
condoning the worst Of vices. 1t
seeks to lay it's hand on the rural
districts with equal potency. There
is another struggle for freemen-the
struggle that smashes States
sCaleb was one who smashed the
slate made out by the majority, and
the insignificant minority became the
triumphant majority, as the minority
of two years ago in G. A. Parkhurst is
now fast becoming the triumphant
majority"
Mr.. Beattie closed with a strong ap-
peal to young men to cultivate a
sense of honor in the religious life
that ever recognized the Lord Christ
as worthy of our constant companion
ship and eternal loyalty. POlycarp
was asked to renounce his religious
faith, and replied: "Eighty-siX years
have l served Christ; and He never
did me any wrong. Can | now deny
my Lord and my Saviour? You may
not understand me, but L am a
Christian -
