Some time ago an item appeared in
the news columns of THE TRIBUNE, stat
ing that j. S. Neuman, who was form
erly in the butcher business in this city,
had been arrested in Colorado and SEN
fenced to a term in the penitentiary.
The information was given to The TRI-
BUNE reporter by the head of "a RESPONSE
bic and leading insurance firm in this
city and published in entire good faith
by this paper. Some time after its pub
lication friend of Mr.. Neuman in this
city called at this Office and denied
the truth OF the item, and the purport
OF his statement was also published.
Since that time Tue TRIBUNE has re
ceiyed letter from the sheriff of the
county in olOradu where Mr.. Neuman
now resides, stating that he has never
been charged with any crime there, but
is a respected citizen of that commune
IT,. The TRIBUNE has been at consider
able pains to find out just how the false
report came to be put in circulation,
and finds that an item was published in an
eastern insurance paper to the effect
that a man bearing the same name had
been convicted of arson. This was
man here, who hastily and unwarrant,
ably jumped to the conclusion that it
was the same party who formerly lived
here aud gave this statement to the re.
porter as a fact THE TRIBUNE makes
this explanation of it's own accord and
without request, as "a matter of Justice

set light before the public.

ing prayer. Elder j. r.. Palmer, super
ntendent of the Montana Mission of the
Seventh Day Adventists, delivered the
dedlcatory sermon, giving some reasons
from the bible for the faith OF the Sew
enth Day Adveutists. 1t was stated
that, while they differed upon some
points OF faith from other denominations,
they uld not condemn, or unvhTistianize
them. They believe, to the fullest eX-
tent, IN religious liberty; and they we're
willing to grant to others that which
they desired themselves. the liberty to
believe and practice according to the
dictates OF their own coneciences
Elder Palmer stated that Seventh
Day Adventists believe that according
to the scriptures, We have reached the
last days and that the message of
Chrlst's second coming was due to the
world. Also that the bible pointed out
a reformation on the law of God and the
sabbath at this time; since the existance
OF people known as Seventh Day Ad-
ventlsts The elder read much scripture
IN support of his theory He also stated
that while the Seventh Day Adventists
believed IN the soon coming of Christ,
they dld not. or never have set the time
for that event

enough to seat comfortably about l25
people. The house was filled aud Il
