A Big Enterprise.

Under the above caption er-
okee, Kanses, Sentinel says.
Applications have been m.
the secretary of state for twoe
tiers for large enterprises for our city.
The companies are composed of
nearly the same parties, yet there
are some members in one company
who are not in the other, hence the
two charters. w. E. Huntington, B..
F. Evans and his two sons, w. E.
and H. E., are the active members
of the company. Mr.. Evans and
two sons are said to be men of means
and have come to live in Cherokee
and help build up the city. The
names of the companies are the
Cherokee Coal and Coke Company
and the Cherokee Supply Company.
The latter company has bought the
Norton & Bolick grocery stock and
Mr.. Bolick becomes manager of the
Cherokee Supply Company. Mr..

strong company, that they will be-
fore year employ large number of
men in their mines, and from what
they expect, a thousand population
will be added tie our town in a year.
The Supply Company, as will be seen
by their ad. this week, will carry
full line of general stock and sup
plies, and they will be able to handle
large amount of produce, which
will bring the farmers here with their
produce. We are glad to welcome
the Messrs. Evans to our town nd
hope they will not only help ) to
build up a substantial town, but that
they will find their business venture
a paying one. The companies will
have their office in the store. Miss
Effie Robinson of Girard is the stem

AT CHURCH.
Rev. J. W. Somerville breaches
His First Sermon in the
City.

A large congregation was in attend
ance at the Central Methodist church
Sunday morning to hear the first ser
mon of the pastor Rev. j. W. Somer'
vile to his new charge. All who had
the pleasure of hearing the gentle
man were pleased with him. He
speaks with an earnestness and q
sincerity of word and manner that
carry conviction to the listener.
The sermon of the morning was OF
an analytical nature. The gentleman
had to deal with the symbols of Moses
power, the rod, the tablets of stone
and the pillar of fire. He brought
the symbols down to the present time
and made application in the every
DAY life of the people in a very
practical way. The lesson of the
opening part of the sermon was the
proof of the latter assertions. At the
close of the sermon Rev. Somerville
stated that he supposed that word
was expected of the new pastor and
a word was therefore due from him.
He came among the people not to do
their work but to help them do it
and they must help him. He wished
to be one of the people and he desired
acquaintance as soon as they thought
that they could trust him. He wished
to see them in their homes and to
know of the inner life. He came to
bear their sorrows with them and to
be with them in their days of glad
ness and to assist in whatever manner
might be required.
There was another large congrega-
tional at the evening service and
there was heard another sermon of
much power. 1t was after the manner
of the morning and the teachings of
the Bible were made to interpret the
signs of the times.
The Oskaloosa charge has been in
deed fortunate in securing the Rev.
J. w. Somerville. He is one of the
ablest ministers in the church and if
what he has done in other places is
to be taken as a criterion, the work
will go forward in this city in the
same excellent manner that has char
the efforts of the former
pastor Rev. M. Bamford.
Mr.. Somerville began his work in
the ministry at Atchison, Kansas, and
had great success in that city for al
most five years. He was then given
the charge at Lawrence and again
great success in that CITY
for almost five years when he was
given the appointment of this city.
The gentleman is a man of culture
and refinement. He is graduate of
Syracuse College and is a student
and a careful observer of human ma
ture. Personally he is large whole
souled, broad and liberal minded
man whom it is a pleasure to meet.
He comes to the city with the very
best of recommendations from the
people he has just left and he will be
popular with all classes of people.
The gentleman is about IS years of
age and has wife and two children
who will join him in this city in a
few weeks,

Christian Science.

Judge VIM. G. Ewing, of Chicago
in a recent address at Boston said:
1.-THE great difficulty in presenting

ious beliefs, the opinions of theil

doubtless many points of religious

HThe older Christian churches urge
as an objection against what they
conceive Christian Science to be
that it is sheer impiety for any per
son to assert that he is clothed witt
power of God to heal the sick. The
striking weakness of this objection
is that Christian Scientists do no
profess any such thing. AS it was II
the time of Jesus, SO now the power
that heals the sick is the power o
God. Christian Scientists assert tina

of every one connected with the big
emporium as q. |, himself, and by the
young ladies of the party.
Messrs. T. NJ. Elwood, Charles Brown
and j. d. Ellsworth were in charge of
the other three wagons.
