A New Church Building.

Eds. Record Union: One of the
most. commendable enterprises in a
community, and especially in a new
and growing community, is the building
of church. We mark it as an evidence
OF the civilization and culture of the
people who flow to this coast from
whatever part of the country they may
come, when they begin to inquire about
religious privileges and facilities for
worship in the new localities that are
open to their choice as permanent
homes. Much has recently been writ
ten and published of the beautiful and
raridly growing town of Orangevale.
1t deserves all the praise that can be
given. Like all other new settlements,
1t has its reverses and discourse ging in
fluences to overcome, but the spirit
shown by its citizens will assuredly
lead to success, and it is destined to be-
come the garden spot of Central Cali
folnia.
The Presbyterians of this prosperous
little suburb of Sacramento Gor so il
Will certainly become in a few years.
have within the present year erected a
church edifice, and are now enjoying
its advantages and privilegeS-a Chris
tian home, We trust, for the reception
Of those who may hereafter desire to
cast their lot with the people. And
now they have arranged for a formal
q ening' Of the church on Monday
evening, October 10Th, and are anxious
to see all their friends on that occasion.
The fact that the Rev. DR.. Mckenzie
will deliver the address should be suf-
ficent to fill the church to overflowing,
and certainly no one will go from the
place without benefit in the direction of
true progress. W. w. L.

THE OTHER SIDES STORY.
Why the Knights of Honor Did Not
Pay the Walsh Claim.

short time ago there was published
in the Record Union an article to the
effect that the Knights Of Honor had
refused to pay the death claim Of
Thomas Walsh Of Chico.
Thomas Johnstone, Grand Reporter Of
the Grand Lodge of this State, claims
that the statement has done the order
an injustice, and gives the history Of
the case.
1t appears that Walsh, who had a
benefit certificate made out payable to
his wife, had some disagreement with
her and changed it, making it payable
to his son and daughter. He afterward
lost his money, and his WIFE continuing
TO take care of him, he felt that he had
done her an injustice, and took out an
other certificate, revoking the second
one, and again making the benefit pay
able to his wife, as at first.
After his death the attorney for the
daughter and son notified the Supreme
Lodge not to pay the money to the
widow. The Supreme Lodge is there
fore forced to hold the money until the
courts decide to whom it shall be paid.
Mr.. JohnStone adds that the Chico peo-
pie, who know all the facts, favor the
widows claim.

VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA.
Mrs. Ballinston Booth Will Arrive Here
To-Day.
She Will Address Citizens on the
Work of the Volunteers and the
Needs of Prisoners.

Mrs. Maud B. Booth, wife OF Com
mander Ballington Booth, leader of the
Volunteers of America, arrives in this
panied by Major Washington Black
hurst. Staff Captain Robert Gardner
and Captain Macomber of New York
The party comes from Stockton,
where Mrs. Booth spoke in the NJ. E.
Church. Two meetings Will be con-
Quoted in this city, both of which will
be in the First Congregational Church
on Saturday, October 18th, and Sunday,
October 18th, at 5 D. m. The subjects
of her addresses will be THE Volun-
teers, Their Work, Principles and Fu-
ture," and also The Prisoners of Our
Country, Their Need and How to Meet
IT.
On Sunday forenoon Mrs. Booth will
| address the prisoners of Folsom State
Prison, returning to Sacramento in
time for her final meeting in Califor-
| MIA before leaving for the East.
Mrs. Booth commenced her trip over
two weeks ago, and in San Francisco
and all the large cities she has had re-
| nlarkable audiences who have mani
tested sympathy with her and her cause
| in most decided manner.
The Volunteer movement is one which
has made rapid progress. Six months
ago, at the time of its incipiency, Com
mander Booth had three rooms at the
Bible House for his headquarters and
FIVE officers. Now he has three floors al
"a Union Square, New York City, and
| forty-five on his staff.
The Volunteers Gazette has a
weekly circulation of 25.000 copies and
| is continually increasing. There are
now 116 organized posts and almost
400 commissioned officers. Marked ad-
vances characterize the work on the
Pacific Coast, and every city of i'm
portance will soon be occupied by the
Volunteers.

DEATH OF JOHN RICHARDS
The Well-KnoWH COSumneS Farmer Passes
Away.
Another rIember of the Sacramento
Pioneers Goes Over to the
Silent Hajority.

Another member of the society of
Pioneers has gone to join the silent ma
jority.
John Richards, who was well known
throughout the county, passed away at
his home on the Costumes on Wednes-
day night after an illness of several
weeks, at the age of 20.
Mr.. Richards was one of the early
settlers on the Costumes River, where
he has remained ever since Born in
Cornwall, England in 1926, he came to
this country in 1S45, and engaged in
lead mining in Wisconsin, but when the
gold fever broke out he abandoned it
FL order to search for the more precious
metal.
With three others, he started with
OK teams across the continent, leaving
St. Joseph in April, 1S49, and arriving
at Dutch Flat in September. He struck
q streak of luck from the first, taking
out 5000 from his claim there in six
weeks, one of the nuggets being worth
S252. In 1851 he went back East for
the purpose of getting married, and
was united to Miss Elizabeth Mitchell
Of Lafayette County, Wisconsin. He
invested his money in cattle, which he
drove across the plains to this State in
] S53. He bought 500 acres Of the Shell
on grant, and afterward 1000 acres Of
Government land adjoining it.
He has been largely interested in min
ing operations, having some valuable
quartz claims, but his main pursuit has
been wheat and stock raising.
OF a kindly and genial nature, Mr.
Richards numbered as his friends all
who knew him, and although his failing
health was q premonition of his death
many were not aware that it was so
rear, and Will regret to learn Of his de-
cease.
In addition to being a member of the
Pioneer Association, Mr.. Richards was
a member of Elk Grove Lodge, No. 173,
f. and A. NJ; Sacramento Chapter No.

4 SUFFERER FROM a NERVOUS OR
= chronic weakness, who has sought aid
IN various forms of quackery, and in every
instance failed TO get relief, is certainly de-
serving of sympathy, but more so If, after
having this sad experience he gives up and
despondently concludes that there is no
help for him. In this frame of mind there
is not much pleasure in the world for a
broken-down spirit. But 1t is just such
