twenty five days the building was com pleted, with seating capacity for hVe hundred people. The entire cost of the lot and the edifice was ten thousand doi- lars. After public offering, but two hundred dollars of this sum remained to be raised, The trustees announced that they would assume the deficit. An ex-saloon-k keeper and a Roman Catho- lie. however asked permission to con- tribute the money needed. The offer was gladly accepted.
 The church, through it's services, reading room and library, has earned the gratitude of Nome in the opinion of all classes in the mining camp. In the dark winter months the reading-ro is the resort of a large number Of the hardy men of the north. There they find companionship. good books and light and heat When coal is at fifty dollars ton, this counts for something. The miners have always shown their appreciation of the church's work by readily responding to it's appeals.-Se- attle Post -Intelligencer.

A REMARKABLE SHOT.
How MT. Sober Shoots Without q Sight
 Private Exhibitions.

How MT. Sober Shoots Without Sight
 Private Exhibitions.
 There resides in Union county the lin- est all-round gentleman shot perhaps III the world. He can execute nlarVels with gun. He is a wealthy active buslsess man and his name is c. K. Sober MT. Sober never exhibited his skill For money, Occasionally he gives a private exhibition for the benefit of his friends and once in great while at the urgent solicitation of other friends he has SlV- en public displays of his marksmanshlp' but never for profit,
 A couple of weeks ago MT. Sober Who is a member of the State Game ana Fish Commission, at the request or some friends who had never seen hlm shoot agreed to give a private eXhlpl- ton. It took place on the fair grounds at Lewisburg, with not more than half dozen gentlemen and the assistants who worked the traps present. It was raw, blustery day, with marrow piercing wind blowing from the west, an overcast sky and bank or ram clouds rolling up from the south
 The feature of MT. Sober'S marksnan- ship is his ability to fasten all sorts or obstacles on his gun barrel, preventing any opportunity of sighting" an oh- ject, and then killing birds with the same ease and certainty that he would were he enabled to take sight" out of 16 pigeons fired at only one was miss ed, and this failure was largely due to the manner in which the trap was sprung In the exhibition six different articles were used as handicaps The first was a small wooden keg. After this a keg of 10 gallons capacity was pushed on the gun barrel through holes bored for the purpose. In none or the exhibition shots save in the hrst one with the small keg was MT. Sober en- abled to fire from the shoulder. All the rest of the firing was done from elbow to thigh. A large keg, a half barrel, was next put on the gun barrel and then the greatest difficulty appeared when a. flour barrel was used To hold these articles steady it was necessary to fasten g. piece of rope around them, tied at each end of the gun stock. But each shot was successfully made, and then, to demonstrate what further ob- stacles could be overcome by his uner- ring craftsmanship, MT. Sober piled a soap box on top of the flour barrel and fired at the bird with the gun stock planted against the inner side of his right thigh. He grassed his bird in- stantly,
 | Following this remarkable exhibition, l in which instinct of direction alone seemed to direct his shots, MT. Sober gave an exhibition of fancy shots, such as firing with the gun reversed over his head and with the -four barrel attached to the gun barrel and shooting back ward over his shoulder with a handicap on the barrel and sighting the bird with hand mirror Then a light batter of rain cut short this most striking ex- hibtion of marksnanship.-P .-Philadel | phia Press.

A GEORGIAN's ACHIEVEMENT


 Ulrich Bonnell Phillips is a young Georgian, of whom the commonwealth has reason justly to be proud. He is yet a very young man, native of Troup county, graduate of the State un- iversity and holder of the Schiff fellow ship in political science in Columbia university in the city of New York. Yet to him the American Historical as- socation has just awarded the coveted Justin Winsor prize for ''the best piece of American history by any American writer who has not already achieved a national name as a historian"
 MT. Phillips chose a most interesting thesis his monograph relating to "Geor- gia and State Rights" His contribu- tion, by the prize token, is undoubtedly a valuable discussion of the various re lations which this commonwealth has sustained toward the Federal govern ment, under the Constitution, from the Revolutionary period to the outbreak of the civil war,
 He who photographs the scenarios of great events and phonographs with them the argumentations and decisions of the hour enriches history and endows posterity. To this ambitious eminence this young Georgian has come by pa tient industry and convictions of patri- otism wrought luminously into an ac- ceptable record. He has won the crown of expert judgment and the state he honors will not fail him of the applause he has so richly earned.-Atlanta Con stitution.

RENIA RKABLE CURE OF GROUP.
 A Little Boy's Life Saved.

I have few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boys life and I feel that cannot praise it enough. bought a bottle of it from A, F. Steere of Good win, S D., and when I got home with 1t the poor baby could hardly breathe gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he threw up and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine my boy would not be on earth to-day ---Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa.

NOME CHURCH's PROGRESS,

One of the features of life at Nome the last year has been the remarkable progress made by the Congregational church. Although, like the other insti- tutions of the camp, it has had a com paratively short existence, it is general ly recognized as one of the most impor- tant civilizing influences in the district. It is entirely self-supporting.
 The building is among the best at Nome. It's erection was commenced last February, and it was dedicated early in September The miners volun l. teered their labor, and frequently, when the weather was below zero. as many as seventy-five were engaged. Within

will be there from Morgantown to see
