CALVIN TRIGG MISSING.
Left Home Sunday and No Trace @
Him Can BE Found.

Him Can BE Found.
The family of Calvin Trigg, who
live near Bethel, west OF BeIlaire, are
much worried over the disappearance
of Mr.. Trigg and his absence since
last Sunday. Mr.. Trigg is well to
do farmer. Last Sunday he left home
to go to Maynard and was in good spir-
it's. He was TO return Monday or
Tuesday, but on not coming home his
brother went to Maynard and found
that he had not been at this place,
and returning home commenced TO
make inquiries. The only clue obtain
ed was that a man answering TO his
description had bought a ticket at
Quincy, on the B. & o. for Newark.
This station is about four miles from
his home. This Is the only informa-
ton the family and friends have OF
him. There is no known cause why
Mr.. Trigg should leave home, as his
home relations have been very pleas
ant. It is not known that he had any
financial trouble, as he has always been
a prosperous farmer. The family are
almost distracted and the whole neigh
borhood is worried. He was a very
pleasant man and was very popular
and well liked by all who knew him.
The family are doing all they can to
find him and will try and trace up the
clue gained at the little station at
Quincy.

Elaborate Arrangements.

The officials and leaders OF the Zion
Lutheran church on the South Side
have begun to make arrangements to
appropriately observe the tiftieth ami
versary of the church during the con-
ing month.
The programme that being prepared
will be elaborate and of a most inter-
esting nature and the members of the
congregation are determined to make
it one of the most memorable occa-
sions in the history of the church.
The musical features of the event will
be especially elaborate and rare. The
work of improving the church for the
celebration will soon be completed but
not in time to permit the use of the
audience room on Easter The exterior
of the building is being painted and
workmen are engaged in frescoing the
walls and ceiling Of the audience room.
The church will also be fitted out with
a new pulpit and furnished with cleo
trio lights. The large cross at the
top of the steeple was handsomely
gilded during the past week. The
thirteen large windows of the edifice
have been torn away and replaced with
beautiful memorial windows.

best astronomical. geological and bio
logical knowledge. contemporary with
the age of sacred writers, was chaotic
mass of ignorance.
The agnostic says that no miracle
was ever performed, but science itself
cannot account for the visible universe
without miracle. If the sun had or
iginally filed all space and had been
growing in heat by an eternal conden-
sation of its gaseous substance, the to-
tai amount thus generated would have
been only $4,000, 900 times the amount
it now radiates in year. Astrono-
mers believe that it has been radiating
heat as rapidly during all this period.
Consequently the sun must have ex-
listed forever in order to have COM
menced 100000 years ago.
Wherever the Christian philosophy
has had it's way, nations and individ-
uals have been lifted to a high plane
of prosperity, and all this in spite Of
the horrors and infamies practiced
along the. highway of history in the
name of Christianity, but by men who
never knew it's spirit. During the re-
cent century, when western civilization
has reached it's climax, the gospel has
commended itself more cogently to
men of intelligence than ever before,
and during a century in which, by the
prophecy of its enemies, it was to have
been sleeping in its grave, it has more
than doubled the number of its fol-
lowers. Just how long it will take
for Christianity to disappear, if it con-
tinues to double it's forces every CEN
fury, let us leave to the mathematics
of agnosticism."

Elaborate and Interesting Pro-

Notes Concerning the Pulpits.

The members of the Chap1ine Street
M. E. congregation are working ener-
getically to raise funds for the erec-
ton of a new church building upon q
new and rather unique plan. AS is
known, it has been the custom of diff
ferent congregations in the city to
build and assume debts for thousands,
but the Chapline Street M. E. congre-
cation has decided to try a different
plan. 1t is their intention to first
raise about three-fourths of the nee
essary funds and then begin work
upon the proposed new structure. The
plan was suggested by the pastor, Rev.
w. ]. Hardness, and it has met the
united and hearty approval of the
members. The advantage of this
movement may be clearly seen, when
it is taken into consideration that dur
ing the time devoted to accommodating
the money, the congregation is also
making provisions for increasing the
fund by putting it out at interest. The
congregation has been endeavoring to
raise the necessary funds for some
months past, and several thousand dol
lars have already been secured. 1t is
thought that the three-fourths Of the
fund will be raised during the coming
year. The new edifice will be put up
on the site now occupied by the pres
ent church building. 1t is to be made
much larger than the present build
ing, and will be completed at cost of
$4,000.

THE LA BELLE FIRE.
Eighth Ward Firemen Again Called
to the Place \ eaterday Morning.

Eighth Ward Firemen Again Called
to the Place yesterday Morning.
1t was about six o'clock yesterday
morning when the firemen got away
from the scene of the destructive fire
at the LaBelle tin plant. At that hour
a sufficient amount of water had been
thrown upon the debris to give assur-
ance that there was no danger of the
fire again breaking out. However it
was found necessary to call the Eighth
ward firemen to the plant about $50
o'clock, as the fire had again broken
out in four or five different places.
1t was given out yesterday that the
loss entailed by the fire is about s10,-
600. The American Tin Plate Com
pany, which controls the LaBelle tin
plant, carries an insurance of $31, 500
on it's local plant in Ralph White
heads agency. The insurance adjus-
tors, who have been notified of the
conf1agration, will arrive at the plant
next Monday morning. The insurance
is divided among various companies as
follows: Western, 100000; Catalonia,
100000; Mutual, of Michigan, $4,000;
Insurance Company of North America,
$500; Phoenix, of Brooklyn, $4,000
AS ehronicled yesterday morning, be-
tween seventy-five and one hundred
men and a number of girls are idle as
a result of the fire. The building
used for dipping and packing and as
sorting PURPOSES, where the fire was
located, will be rebuilt as soon as pos
sible. 1t is feared that before the
work of reconstructing the plant is
completed that there will be an over
stock of black plates to cause some of
the other departments to close down.
