THE CHURCH COLUMN


The topic for next Sabbath morn
ing will be "The Missionary Spirit"
In the evening MIR. snead viii
preach, beginning the union Week Of
Prayer services. These services will
continue Monday and Tuesday eve
nings in the Methodist church. The
Wednesday evening prayer services
will be held separately. Then they
will be continued in the Presbyterian
church Thursday and Friday eve
nings. THESE services win close at
til same church on the following
Sabbath evening, the sermon to he
preached hy the writer.
The general topic for the week
will be "The Holy Spirit in the
Church"
DR.. J. r. Wright, the presiding
elder, will be with rs on Tuesday
night and preach. We urge all our
people to hear him and extend a very
hearty invitation to the congrega-
tions Of the otlier churches to come
and hear DR.. Wright. Special music
will be furnished by the choir, and
our male quartet will sing also. After
the service the fourth quarterly con-
ference will he held.
We begin another year Of work.
What shall 1t be? Let us resolve to
make it the best in our history. Best
for us as individuals because we are
better Christians and because we do
more for God and the church. Better
for the church because more faith
fulness shall be manifested in attend
ing the services and more activity be
seen in spiritual work. Above all
let this year be one of deep piety and
manifest spiritual power. Let souls
be saved aud the Christians perfected
The coming of the elder reminds
us that we are beginning the last
quarter Of the conference year. How
rapidly the years come and go. Time
is short, yet full Of opportunities.
These months are free from the great
activities of the summer season and
afford special opportunities for activ-
ity in the vineyard of the Lord. We
trust that q large number will avail
themselves of the privileges of Bible
study that will be free to all on Mon
day evenings following the week
Of prayer.
The New Years eve social proved
to be very pleasant affair. 1t was
we'll attended and the young people
were active and happy. We wish
many happy New Years for them
all.

INTO THE ARMS OF JUSTICE
A Thief Rides With Deputy
George Smith and Lands in
Jail.--Quite an Adventure.


One OF the most laughabls instances
of detective work wherein thief walked
right into the arms OF the law unknow-
insly to himself, occured yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff George Smith being the
principal actor in the detection,
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith drove to White
water yesterday and were driving leis-
urely homo on the Orchard Mesa road
ahen they were aooosted almost I'M
meJiatsIy 10 front OF the residence OF
Commissioner James b. Smith by a
rather tIugh looking individual and
asked for ride to the city. Mr.. Smith
heartily replied "Yes jump in, l always
ike to give fellow q ride" Ineiden
tally tho fellow remarked just after Mr..
smith answered him 80 chesrily that he
would be glad to give Mrs. Smith pair
,f ladies hose, in consideration of their
kindness.
At the moment he said that Mr..
Smiths suspicious were aroused. They
drove along tho road a little way and
riding in the back part Of the buggy, "It
% q wonder you have not some knives or
eszors to give away" 1t was a chance
shot and the mans answer was that he
aad sold them all.
At tho time Mr.. Smith asked that
question he had in mind q robbery at
telluride and the sheri6's Office had
been ON the alert several days to sppre-
n,nd the thief.
Whom they had crossed the bridge the
fellow said "Well boss, guess I'll got
out here" Mr.. Smith said, On no. you
are quito way from the depot;
I'll take you to point near
Main street and lot you out. The man
responded "all right" aod incidentally
remarked he would like to be lot out in
some quiet part Of the city, to which
suggestion Mr.. Smith acquiesoed.
Whom Mr.. Smith reached the city hall
he drove up on the scales and said to
the man "Rere is the place." Mr.. Smith
jumped out as well 90 the man and a.
ground Mr.. Smith placed him under
arrest and when taken in the city jail he
was searched by Mr.. Smith and Jailer
Dickerson and . regular storshouse OF
goods was found upon him. He had a
ladies small silver watch, manicuriDg
set, some cigars and other trinksts,
which the officers knew at once had
bsen stolen. He was placed in Jail aud
worry shortly thereafter L, @. Williams,
who purchased the Franklin B. Rich
ranch on Orchard mesa reported that he
had been robbed. This morning he iden-
tilted the goods as having been stolen
from his house.
Thia morning the man was transferred
by Deputy Smith to the county jail =.

WILL COLOMBO.
Santa Re Evolving Big Schemes for
Southeastern Colorado.

The Santa Fe is putting into shape
the most extensive plans yet evolved
for the colonization of southeastern
Colorado and western Kansas T.. II.
Andrus, who. a few months ago. re
signed the position of land agent for
the Union Pacific at Kansas City. has
now been appointed TO act in a similar
capacity fcT the Santa Fee Mr. Andrus'
work will be largely to arrange settle
ments with the owners of the land to
lie occupied. and thus help the pu--
Chasers of tax titles to secure clear
titles To their property He will also
be- engaged In disposing of large tracts
which the Santa Fe originally received
as lanl grants. hut later sold to large
syndicates.
IL is believed several thousand PEG
pie can be settled in lands along the
Santa Fee, according To present plans.
Fifteen years ago western Kansas was
most promising country but with the
failure of rainfall. the early settlers
were forced TO mortgage their homes
and. in many cases abandon them.
Thus. whole sections passed into the
hands of the loaners. who could not
sell and would not pay taxes. In the
last few years conditions have improv-
ed. until people are finding that il pays
to buy tax titles to pieces of this land
on which alfalfa. kafiir corn. sorghum
and broom corn can be grown Mr..
Andrus will soon he in Denver to con
suit with General Agent Hall in regard
to the Arkansas valley.
