The Contract Made.

Last Thursday afternoon, the trus-
tees of the M. E. church met and
awarded the contract for their new
church to E. M. Loop, of Hopkinton,
Iowa, whose bid was $40, 7S0, but on
account of including excavation and
some alterations the contract price
was increased to $11,1S9. Two other
bids were made, the highest being $l3
500. The contract calls for it's compile
tion on Nov. st.
The building will be 6Sx7l feet on
the ground and is of about the same
style of architecture as the Gongre-
gational church, and will have a short
tower on the corner. There will be
three entrances, one on the south
west corner, the Others on Elm street,
the main entrance being the farther
one to the north, the one to the south
opening directly to the front of the
pulpit and it is intended to facilitate
the passage of funerals.
On the main floor, in addition to the
auditorium, there will be a study, or
gan room, a lecture room 26X27, church
parlors, 13x30 and a League room
about % feet square. The auditorium
is to be finished in quarter-sawed oak.
The auditorium is designed to seat325
with a total seating capacity of 800.
There will also be three galleries, one
in the rear of the room over the lecture
room. which will be finished at once
and two side galleries which will be
closed for the present. The brick is
what is called Twin City mottled brick
of pink color, and the trimmings are
of Kasota pink sandstone. This
should make a fine looking building
and certainly disappearance will be
new to this city. The contractor is
expected here today and work will
commence at once.
We understand that the ladies of
the church do not intend to let it be
dedicated without hayinga fine pipe
organ installed.

The Old Settlers Meet.

Saturday last was the day for the
old settlers to meet at Chester. There
we met them and although there were
probably 2500 people present, one
could count on his fingers those pres
ent of pioneer days. OF this class we
now recall Fayette Lincoln, c. G.
Lake, NJ. NJ. Marsh, ID. II. Vinegar,
J. j. Lowry, j. M. Wyckoff, j. d..
Casey, Pat Noonan, Jerry b. Kingsley,
who come to the county and located
in the town of Chester, June Z, 1855,
and who was the only one of the old
settlers of that year remaining except
his father A. w. Kingsley, aged So,
but who is temporarily absent visiting
a daughter. j. b. Kingsley was d
member of Co. l, 3S Iowa infantry,
and now resides at LIE Roy.
Rev. q. ii. Holmes delivered the
address and had an attentive audi
ence which complimented his effort
highly. The program of day the was full
ly carried out, dance in the bowery
and in the hall being among the tea-
lures that called together the younger
element which thronged the streets.
The Crcsco and Saratoga bands dis
courSed their best music, the CreSco
orchestra furnished the music for the
bowery dance afternoon and devening.
The gun club had a few hours sport at
its favoritc amusement and record
some good shots made while the winds
were SO tiercely blowing that cunning
at a mark was extremely difficult. A
shipment of 'Booze" said to have
oeen sent from Minnesota, located
under the shade north from the bridge
had several patrons who somewhat
annoyed the better behaved people
present, at one time calling for the
services of Sheriff Campbell.
Taken all IN all it was an occasion
long to be favorably remembered. The
ample provision made to feed the peo-
pie, without eXtortion, with all that
was good and desirable deserves COM
mendation. About O'Clock rain set
in and with an all night down pour
we should not be surprised to learn
that tile dancers trespassed upon the
Sabbath. Although the pioneer set
tiers of the county were scarce at the
old settlers meeting at Chester, it was
a source of pleasure and pride to sec
the throngs of young, vigorous ant
intelligent youth to whom the desti
nies of the country will soon be trans
mitted.

a collar that fits my shoulders.
When you first train me when my

your hands are sore.

ALL WE'RE SELF-CONvICTED.
Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
Guns with Singular Unanimity.

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
Guns with Singular Unnnimity.
Georgia has a stringent law forbid
ding its citizens to carry pistols on
pain of FORGETTING the weapons and
paying fine of $50 or being impris-
oned for thirty days. Shortly after
the passage OF this enactment Judge
Lester was holding court in a little
town, when suddenly he suspended the
trial of a case by ordering the sheriff
to lock the doors of the courthouse.
Gentlemen" said the judge when the
doors were closed, Il have Just seen
pistol on man in this room, and
to let such a violation OF this law pass
unnoticed. | ought perhaps to go be-
fore the grand jury and indict him,
but II that man will walk up to this
stand and lay his pistol and a fine OF
81 down here l will let him off this
time" The judge paused, and a law
yer sitting just before him got up,
slipped his hand into a hip pocket,
drew out a neat ivory-handled six
shooter, and laid 1t with a dollar down
upon the stand. This Is all right"
said the judge, but you are not the
man saw with the pistol" Upon this
another lawyer arose and laid down
a Colts revolver and dollar bill be-
fore the Judge, who repeated his for
mer observation. The process went on
until nineteen pistols Of all kinds and
sizes and shapes lay upon the stand,
together with nineteen dollars by their
side. The Judge laughed as he COM
plimented the nineteen delinquents
upon being men OF business, but add
ed that the man whom he had seen
with the pistol had not come up, and,
glancing at the far side of the court,
he continued: Il will give him one
minute to accept my proposition, and
II he fails will hand him over to the
sheriff" Immediately two men from
the back OF the court rose and began
to move toward the judges stand
Once they stopped to look at each
other. and then. coming slowly for
ward laid down their pistols and their
dollars. AS they turned their backs
the Judge said: This man with the
black whiskers is the one that !
originally saw."-New York Press.

Dick Dalton.

THEY are still SHINING Dick
Dalton. DaltOn's announcement
to vote against the State Demo
cratic ticket has done the party
more good in Missouri than any
thing that has happened for long
time.
1t is too evident that Dalton is
disgruntled. He has proven him
self an migrate
He seems to have but one hobby
against the State Democracy and
that is State taxes are too high.
Dockery answered him completely
on that score in his Sedalia speesh
four weeks ago when he gave fig
ures to show that Democratic
Missouri enjoys the lowest tax rate
in the Union. Why, our tax
rate is only - cents on the 800
valuation, and in comparison
Dockery showed that Illinois pays
30 cents, Iowa % cents, Arkansas
22Is cents, and Kansas 35 cents.
All this should have n silencing
effect upon Col. Dalton. On one
side it is causing Missouri voters
to investigate, and the further they
90 in the investigation the more
delightful and pleasing the results
and the more embarrassing APP
pears the predicament of Col.
Dalton.
Dalton says he will vote for
Bryan and Stevenson. That's all
right but his reason for support
ing Flory as opposed to Dockery
won't hold water.
AS we limited above, Dalton is
helping the State Democratic tick
ct by his opposition. He is helping
bring the truth to light. His ac-
cusatiOns have aroused Democrat
ic apathy, if indeed there were
any, and good will follow.
