in part:
This is a religious home that is inspira
ton to me- testimonial TO the zeal and faith
of the pastor, officers and members OF this con-
gregaton, a monument to Christianity and
credit TO Alameda. There is similarity be-
tween the family and the church Both are
the main essentials of society, but can
Get in a church what he cannot in home.
1t is in the church where we come into touch
with God, where we reach out and touch the
hem Of the Savior's garment through the faith
in us This home of religion is one that viii
inspire all who will come within its walls, and

NOVEL ARCHITECTURE.
In speaking of the novel style of
architecture selected for the new
church. Rev. DR.. Brush said:
The edifice could not have been properly
erected in Gothic style without an increased
expenditure of $4,000 $4,000. Now, no one
has right to build beyond his means. Then.
too Gothic style requires stone more than
does the Grecian style. The cheaper ones
material the simpler should be the lines OF
structure. OF all denominations cheap adorn-
ments are the worst and worst of all in
church architecture Simplicity in religion is
even more vital than reverence. building
the great stone cathedrals, is a mockery and
travesty Our church is simple honest
and exactly suited to the congregation

Pocahontas, Dec. Reorganization
of farmers elevator concern at Palm
err has brought about q peculiar situa-
ton at this point and one that called
for decisive action on the part of the
business men Of Pocahontas. Farmers
from q mile south and as far as four
miles north of this town are selling
their grain at the farmers elevator at
Palmer, cooperative concern recent
ly organized. In order to do SO they
were compelled to haul their grain thru
Pocahontas. One farmer two miles east
Of here hauled his oats to Palmer and
realized on thirty eight acres of tho
grain $13S above the market value at
this point. The business men of Po-
cahontas became alarmed over the sit
uation and circulated petition among
the farmers whose trade should come
here asking them to subscribe for ele-
vator stock. The plea that they did
not have the money to spare was met
by an offer on the part of the mer-
chants to carry the subscription to the
amount Of $25 share. BY the first OF
January the Farmers Elevator Com
pany will be doing business in this
town. The company will handle coal
and tile and possibly lumber.

CHURCH BUILDING THEATER.
Evolution Of the Olympic Opera House
at Hampton.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Dec. IA. - Visitors to
Hampton when taken to the Olympic
opera hall, are always surprised at be-
Ing conducted towards building
which from all outward appearances in
modern church. In 1893 when the
Methodist church people Of Hampton
decided to build larger and better
church they sold their old building at
auction. 1T fell into the hands of a
stock company who conceived the idea
of using it for q hall and now that it
has been remodeled upon the inside and
an addition made In the rear for a
stage 1t has all the inward appearance
OF a modern theatre. For years and
years this building was used as a
church and no greater surprise can be
given to an old settler than when on
returning he Is told that the Metho-
dist church is now theater and a
dance hall. A large gallery was add
ed, making the building have capac-
ity of about eight hundred and 1t was
completely rearranged within.
Perhaps the most peculiar use to
which this building has ever been put
was when the funeral of William Gid
den was held there. Mr.. Glidden be-
fore death requested that a hall be
rented for place to hold his funeral.
and 1t was consequently held In the
Olympic opera house.

NOT YET DECIDED
Statement That Hausen Had Made
Decision In the Mason City Postoffice
Contest Is Understanding About
the Situation.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Dec. IA. - No word or
int,nation has come from Congress-
man Haugen as to who will be the sue
cessful candidate for the Mason City
postofiice, and all statements made are
mere conjectures. There have been
three candidates for the position, and
when Mr.. Haugen was in Mason City
two weeks and more ago, each one
sought by every means to impress up
on the congressman his qualifications
and his right to recognition.
Postma ster j. A. Farrell had hoped
to secure reappolntment for d second
term. He was originally recommended
by Congressman Haugen but the APP
pointment was generally recognized at
that time as being one made either up
on request of MIR. Updegraff or In rec
ognition Of his personal desire. Mr..
Farrell has made good Official, but
his array Of political supporters was
not as formidable as those of other
candidates and the other two candi-
dates have beer regarded as more like
ly to be successful in the canvass.
Mr.. j. A. Anundson has been the
personal friend of the congressman for
many years, and was at one time re-
garded as the most active of the then
few Haugen men in Cerro Gordo coun-
ty. His political following has not
been large. tho he has the substantial
~xf two
II. McNider, president of the First Ma
tional bank and trustee of the State
Normal school. He has been regarded
by many as the probable appointee
and has been credited with having Mr..
Haugen's promise OF the appointment
upon personal considerations.
Mr. N. G. Kotchell, president OF the
Iowa State bank is the third candi-
date. He has lived in Mason City for
twenty and more years and Is man
of great personal popularity and some
little political influence. In the post
Office contest he has had the active
support Of George w. Rowland, Thorn
as A. Way, /. W. Keerl and others who
have been associated with those gem
tlemen in Cerro Gordo political con-
tests at other times.
Political differences in the past be-
tween Congressman Haugen and Mr..
j. p. Blythe has not made 1t wise or
polite for any of the three candidates
to seek the latter's support, and he has
taken no part in the contest, and but
few Of those who have been his poll
teal friends are regarded as factors in
the canvass of the candidates. The
announcements recently made of any
final determination in the matter being
made by Mr.. Haugen are not being
credited in Mason City by any of the
candidates as no information has been
obtainable by them from Washington.
and they have been assured of per-
sonal intelligence from Mr.. Haugen
when the decision and recommendation
is made.
