Mr.. REED wIrnDRAwS.

The withdrawal Of Mr.. Reed from
the race for governor was by no means
q surprise. Many Of his friends con.
ceded his defeat two weeks ago, but
their friendship wal Of the lasting
kind and they were loyal to him until
be was ready to retire from the field.
This he decided to do last Wednesday
night, issuing the following statement:
"1t is now manifest that l am de-
feated. Under the circumstances to
proiong the contest would be with
out substantial results. L shall not,
therefore, submit my name in any
more counties.

their support, and at the same time,
release them from all obligaticDg 20
myself, either expressed or Implied.
1t Is needless to add tl6at, as in the
paSC' 1 snail loyally Support the nom-
inees Of the Democratic Convention "
James AHeed has courageously
conductsH a campaign with great odds
against him. His campaign has been
that Of a democrat and in defense Of
democratic doctrine and democratic
administrations. He has asked no
quarter from the republican enemy.
His was a clean cut campaign
for party hnnors on party
principles. The sovereign people did
not look with favor upon his candidacy
and in the spirit Of true and honest
democracy, he announced that he
would release all those who we're
obligated to his support and that he,
himself, would support the nominee.
Those who know Jim Reed well, know
that this is aud has been his kind OF
democracy and he is as honored In
defeat as he could have been as the
chief executive Of Imperial Missouri.

It viii be interesting to watch the
changes in the editorial policy of
many republican papers throughout
the state, now that the race for the
democratic nomination has practically
terminated, Already the Globe.
Democrat is fighting Mr., Folk and al.
though the Kansas City Journal has
stated that its policy would not be

he be nominated, few people believe
that they will not justify themselves
In changing their mind before the
campaign is over, No rule Of logic
applies to the workings Of the Star.
The democracy can hope for nc
genuine support from such sources.
We believe a democratic governor will
be elected and we also believe he will
be elected by democrats.

Formally Reopened.
Services Were Held in EdifiCe
Yesterday Afternoon.

Thomas Hughes.
Large Congregation Assemblies

From MONDAYS Daily.

ftoh ohonudy > Ddly.
1t was an enthusiastic meeting that
gathered in the little Congregational
church at South Bend yesterday after
noon to attend he reopening exercises
The church was packed to its utmost ca
pacity, and contained in the neighbor-
hood of hundred and fifty people. Some
of these were visitors, but for the most
part they were members of the church,
enthusiastic, patriotic, church loving
country folk, who were proud of the i'm
proved appearance of their consecrated
edifice, which had been undergoing repairs
for some months past. The members had
joined hands with a hearty good will to
do this. Carpenters, painters, plasterers,
the work, donating their services. The
church had been weatherboarded and
painted without, and plastered, white
washed and repainted within, while a
new set of windows had been put in. The
building was declared to be as substan-
tial as the day it was built, and better
in many ways.
Burton j. Baldwin, the young divinity
student of Yale, who is now taking
charge of the pulpit, conducted the SER
vices of praise and prayer. In announc-
ing one of the numbers, Welsh anthem,
he reminded the people how that very
same anthem, "Agoriad Addaldy," signi
flying "The Opening of the House of
Worship" had been sung at the first
dedication in 1862 by Mrs. d. G. Evans;
and Mrs. Evans and her two grand
daughters, Misses Jennie and Katie
Davies of Mankato, were to sing the
same anthem once more. This they did,
to the delight of all. Miss Mary Jane
Evans played the organ during this num-
Der as she did during other musical
parts of the program. Solos were sung
by Evan Hughes of Mankato and Miss
Ida Lewis of South Bend, and the South
Bend choir of five young ladies render
ed an anthem.
Rev. E. L. Heermance spoke the ad-
dress of welcome. He declared that the
completion of the repairs and improve
ments to the South Bend church marked
the consummation of work which had
been very close to his heart. A year ago
the light of day came through the cracks
in the walls of the old building, and the
fgurative Biblical expression, which tells
that the sparrows and swallows have
found way into the house of the Lord,
where they can rear their young, was
too literally true of the South Bend
church. The building was as good as
when Robert S. Pritchard put it to-
gether forty years ago. 1t was an abid
ing memorial to the fathers and moth
'ers and the grandfathers and grand
mothers of the present members. Let it
stand as a monument to their mem
DRY.
d. c. Evans expressed his great graft
dication at what had been accomplished.
He said that the future of the church
rests with the young people. Let them
listen carefully to what the young pas
