A DESERVED TRIBUTE
To Rev. A. W. Werder of St James Church.
Last Evening

To Rev. A. w. Werder of St James Church,
Last Evening
Last evening there was a very pleas
ant and enjoyable occasion at ST..
James German Lutheran church on
North Chapline street. during which
the esteemed pastor was the recipient Of
a very handsome present from the
members of the congregation.
The members of the church assembled
at the church edifice between half past
seven and eight o'clock, unknown to
the pastor, and at the late hour he
was sent for, and was naturally a good
deal surprised to find the building brill
liantly Illuminated and crowded with
people. He inquired the reason for the
unannouneed proceeding, and was en-
lightene4s dby Mr. Henry Helmbright,
president of the congregation. who. in
a happy address, reminded Rev. War
der that it was the twenty-fifth ami
versary of his marriage, and presented
him with silver casket suitably in
scribed containing rather more than
one hundred and fifty silver dollars.
When he had recovered his composure,
Rev. Worder returned his thanks, 9TH
ers made addresses, a musical program
followed, and then the ladies served
refreshments.
The occasion was a very happy one,
and the Register unites in the congrat-
ulations to the pastor.

cut from the east end of the lower
street in Fulton to the pike, which
avoids the steep grade that leads up to
the pike between two certain saloons,
has been blocked by next to impass-
ible mud hole. The weather has been
so dry the city water authorities
thought it was a leak in the main, and
spent about a week looking for it. The
report that seems the only tangible
solution of the mystery of the mud hole
is that one of the two saloonkeepers
at the top Of the steep grade saw that
all the drivers were using the cut and
getting their beers about a half mile
further out the road. In ordeg to
stem the tide OF the ebbing trade, aided
by his hose he rendered the cut impass-
ible to vehicles and the trade has all
come back The city, however, may
send in bill for the water.
