LEVIES THAT WON'T HOLD
Real Estate Exchange Cons ltteemnp
Cites the Constitution and some
County TrnnsEression-.

A member of the Real Estate exchanges
tax committee, who was a prime mover
last year when the County Board OF Equal
ization was in session, now expresses him
self as favorable to a low county assess
ment for 1903 and a consequently high levy
as a means Of squaring accounts with the
railroads as nearly as possible.
The only obstacle to this he said, rs
that II the assessment Is made low the
board may be forced to 60 over the 15-mill
levy to raise money enough, and thereby
trsnsgress the fifth section Of Article tx
Of the constitution. which specifically says
that county authorities never shall assess
taxes the aggregate of which shall exceed
$3.50 per 500 valuation, unless authorized
by a vote Of the people Of the county,
They are ignoring this stipulation in many
counties, but some time someone will start
a general fight on taxes. comprehended by
a greater levy than this, and then there

COUNTY LOSES THE QUARTERS
Clerk DrexeI Thinks state should Pay
for Use of Seal on Hunting
Licenses.

County Clerk Drexel is of the opinion
that the state is getting the better Of the
county in the matter of revenue derived
from the sale Of hunting licenses. A
license to a resident sells for 81 and to a
nonresident for $40. Last year more than
800 licenses were issued by the clerk OF
Douglas county, yet the county received
no part Of the money, though it was neces-
sary for the clerks stan to issue triplicate
receipts in each instance and stamp the
license with the clerks seal. Clerk Drexel
says there is a provision Of law that 20
cents must be charged for every paper on
which the seal is used, and he is wondering
why the state should not be obliged to pay
as others do. Had 25 cents been deducted
from the county's remittance to the state
for every hunting license issued last year
the county would have been gamer by 5000.

TRULY The CHOIR INVISIBLE
Director Kelly'S Organization Absent from
First Methodist Services.
COMMENTS ARE IN SHARPs AND FLATS
Congregation Contents Itself with n
Few Hymns and the
Anvil Chorus A. =
PostIude.

With the exception Of a few hymns sung
by the congregation, led by Mr.. Will Ste
vens, with r. II. Packard as organlst, the
First Methodist church, usually so opulent
in melody and sound, had no music yes
terday morning. True to his word, Musical
Director Kelly and his choir failed to APP
pear and the big loft held only a large
collection OF empty chairs. Whether be-
cause Of the light snow and gray sky or
because OF the absence Of Mr.. Kelly's choir
was impossible to tell, but the attendance
was somewhat less than usual.
After the services groups OF the more
prominent men and women Of the church
stood for a long time conversing on a
single topic-the absence Of the regular
music service and the dictum of Musical
Director Kelly, that either the %janitor or
himself must go. Two general sentiments
were expressed-that Mr.. Kelly and the
choir must be retained, even though Janitor
lines be forced out, and that the director
deserved a lot Of censure for leaving the
church without music. To an extent most
Of the congregation has taken sides, but
only to a comparative degree, both holding
the tenet that Kelly is too precious to lose,
even though he is a man Of moods"
Expect Reconciliation.
When asked IL the absence Of the vested
choir had been seriously missed yesterday
morning various members Of the church
replledi mo, I think we got along very
nicely, Don't your Still, 1t would be
hardly the thing every Sunday. But I
think the whole affair will be smoothed
over and there will be no change"
One Of the women ssIdl II don't blame
Mr.. Kelly a bit. Surprising the board OF
trustees had become displeased with lin.
DO you think they would have given him
a hearing before relieving him? Well, l
should say not. There isn't any question
but that the %ianitor exceeded his author
ity."
Another member of the church, a man
who is one Of the leading supports, de-
clared: "Mr. Kelly must remain and the
~janitor must go. 1t is no more than right
that he should be discharged. The ma
jority Of the board of trustees thinks so
now, and there will be a meeting this week
to decide the matter"
The pastor, Rev. z. Combie Smith, was
inclined to view the whole affair rather
humorously and said he felt sure that mat
tiers would be adjusted to the satisfaction
of all concerned. Some few Of the leading
churchmen are decidedly sore, but one OF
them said: This thing has happened be-
fore, and may happen again. 1 don't APP
prehend very much from the present
crisis"

SHOULD KEEP IN THE LOVE OF GOD.
Rev. Hatch Reiterates that FavOrite
Text from Jude.

Rev. Hatch Reiterates that FRvOrite
Text from jude.
At Plymouth Congregational church Sun
day morning Rev. +. A. Hatch. the pastor,
preached, taking his text from the twentieth
chapter of jude; Keep yourselves in the
love OF God" He said in part:
This writer, like Peter in his second
epistle, cautioned the people against the
preachers Of false doctrines, but here he
draws the contrast between the faithful
and those who taught error. You can live
on the miasmatic plains until you have
acquired fevers, and can only be cured by
going to the mountains. In the plains Of
life the soul is affected by evil, which can
be thrown off only by recourse to the
mount OF God love. Our opinion Of men
will change, Those we trusted will be
found unworthy and those in whom we
have no confidence will prove themselves
the noblest types. We can know no man
until we can tell how he loves. Love is
the best groundwork for a knowledge Of
the world, and love is the best ground
work for a knowledge Of God. II we have
not known Gods love We are ignorant, In
deed. Gods love always brings a desire
for self-communion; Gods love is the at
mosphere Of life. The atmosphere in which
a child is reared has much to do with his
disposition, and how few Of us have a
continuous feeling Of Gods presence and
love? In the universe there is law, but
above and beyond the law is the power Of
the love Of God. Jesus prays that His
disciples have a knowledge of the love OF
God. Self-seeking and deceptive Jacob was
changed by the presence of God, and in the
burning bush the presence Of God made
Moses a hero for ali time. The critics have
tried to prove that two persons wrote the
book of Isaiah, but one part was written
through ordinary inspiration of prophesy,
while the other was written after Isaiah
knew God and His love.
God asks from us the love Of the peni-
tent, the love of the child and the love
Of the bride. The love Of God is the sure
Joy Of declining years, and the best refuge
for the dismayed soul. We cannot say
we love God unless we. love humanity and
are willing to show that love by our work
for our fellows"

KUHNs ON SCOPE of RELIGION.
Says salvation IL Given Under Grace,
Not Through COmpuIsIOn.


Not Through C~OmpuIsIOn.
Rev. Luther NJ. Kuhns spoke on the
Scope Of Religion" at Grace Lutheran
church yesterday morning. Taking for his
text the verse, Through His name. who
soever believeth In Him shall receive re-
mission of SINS" Acts x, 40, he said that
God had provided for universal salvation.
The purpose of all religion, that believes
In Christ, is the following out Of this d.
vine decree Of God which grants remission
OF sin through His name" averred the
speaker. ITO every one the choice of ac-
cepting this decree is free. The idea is
that salvation is given under grace ana
not through compulsion.
God comes to the heart as a potter 10.
the clay and II he finds 1t susceptible to the
touch he moulds 1t and makes 1t over in
the light Of his own grace. II your heart
or my heart contains a non-resisting nature
when God comes in touch with 1t, He in
stills in it a divine feeling.
God has made provision for the at
tainment of sanctlty through his name. To
many the cross is a symbol that is being
relegated to the past, but sanctity is given
through the Christ and by the way of the
cross. 1t is the secramental pledge Of
mercy. Through 1t the blood of Jesus
Christ is sprinklod on the hearts Of man
kind and, as in the days when the children
of Israel sprlnkled blood on the doorposts
that the destroying angel might pass them
by, so this blood of the Savior now causes
sin to pass by the hearts it is sprinkled
on as 1t is a pledge of grace-meaning
mercy.
Men reach heaven on common ground
through common means, through the way
Of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice of the
Father. Through the sorrows and tribu.
lations Of this world the heart is cleansed.
II grace were not effected in the hearts of
mankind on earth there would be no saints
In heaven CARRIED in white robes. When
we realize that the blood of Jesus Christ
washes away the sins Of man, then faith
brings the means of attaining sanctihca-
ton"

Foreign Missions Secretary Pleads at
Grace Baptist.
Rev. Henry Williams of Des Moines, dis
trict secretary for foreign missions, occu-
pied the pulpit of Grace Baptist church, at
Tenth and Arbor streets, yesterday morn
ing by special appointment. The initial
services were conducted by Rev. B. w.
Fellman the regular pastor Of the church.
Rev. Williams took for his text: Exodus
1881, "a pillar of cloud leads u.s." He
said: 1.-THE successful churches are the
missionary churches. 1t was the inspira-
ton they received from doing missionary
work, especially foreign missionary work,
that brought the grace of God to them.
For did not Christ say to His disciples,
Go we into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature2' He did not say
preach the law but preach the gospel.
That is the pillar Of cloud that leads us.
II we believe the text as we read 1t we are
thrilled with delight. II was with infinite
confidence that the Israelites followed the
tian bondage. If God be for us, who can
be against us? God is the same today that
He was at the dawn of mans history. God
is today leading His people to work In
foreign lands. How wonderful God leads.
He always leads the right way. Never
can we get a man to a sorrowing brother
until we get man to a suffering Christ.
The blood of the martyrs is the seed Of the
church. We love only as we give. True
love always sacrifices. II your church is
poor and struggling. the greater is your
need to give to foreign evangelization. You
will receive a reflex benefit from it. 1t is
Gods way to show His works, that by
sacrifice must you show your sincerity,
and then God in His good time will re-
ward you the greater for the sacrifice.
Such is the history of struggling churches
such as yours, and, though you now have
a big work on your hands in building your
new church, you should not neglect your

Involves 'BIondie" Clark.

Fearing to attempt collection in Madison
county, Attorney Dufie ventures to de-
clare, a conspiracy was entered into in
the case of Gillespie's note to make 1t pos
sible to bring the suit in Douglas county.
The name of r. ]. Thompson Of Benson
was placed on the Gillespie note as that
of an endorser and Thompson made a de-
PENDANT. AS suit may be brought against
either of two defendants and the other de-
PENDANT forced to appear where the hearing
is, the result Of this was to oblige Gillee-
pie to come to Douglas county to defend.
In substantiation of his allegation that
this was a conspiracy, Attorney Dufie de-
clares that there is no r. ]. Thompson
and that the name was a fictitious one
chosen for the purpose of the suit.
In this connection he brings Blonde"
Clark into the suit because Clark made a
return Of having secured service of sum
mons on r. ]. Thompson at Benson. Duffe
says he has an affidavit from County Clerk
Drexel to prove that Clark's term of office
as constable expired the Sth OF last Janu-
airy, or some time prior to the date he
swore he served the The CO.

The prosecutor has done nothing in the
matter as yet, but feels SOM interest in
the case in a general way because he has
heard rumors of similar procedures in
Adams county and elsewhere over the state.
The hearing Saturday in Justice Potter's
court, to which the case went on Dufle's
motion for a change OF venue from Justice
Kubat's, did not advance far before the
continuance was asked, but there was on
file the deposition of Gillespie's wife in
