More AbundantIy.


At the Methodist church yesterday
morning young man wEo grew from
boyhood to manhood in this city. oc-
cupied the pulpit, Bernard Rice. eld-
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. p. A. Rice.
Mr. Rice gave evidence very young
that he was young man of parts and
when after his college course he decid-
ed to enter the ministry. only the
kiudest and most fiattering words for
his future were made by those who
had watched the boy grow into the
man. 1t must have been high sat
isfaction to his father sitting in the
congregation at the Sunday morning
service. himself lay preacher, to lis
ten to the word of God from the lips
of son who gives nothing but prom
Use for his future.
The church was crowded and the
effort of Mr.. Rice was listened to with
the fullest attention by the congrega-
ton.
The text was taken from the book
of st. John. chap. 10 and portion
of the 10th verse. Il am come that
they might have life. and that they
might have it more abundantly." o
If it were possible the Sentinel
would be glad to give a full outline
of the sermon. as it was a thoughtful
discourse and one which anvone might
listen to with profit. be he sinner or
saint. In nut she'll it was plea
for more fulness in Christian life.
That Christians should have an alb
undance of Christianity and not part
of enjoyment. He most aptly illustra
ted the life of one into which a small
part of the leayen of Christian, life
had entered. wherein that one desired
to acknowledge Christ. but reserved
some part of his life for secularitv.
He then followed showing how the
life could be made full of holiness.
He spoke also of the latitude which
was given in the family circle to enjoy
the Christian life. That it was not
necessary for long faces or for sadness
but that God desired to be worshined
with noise and gIadsomness aud with
songs and with instruments of music.
Throughout, the sermon was
thoughtful exposition nrging to a
Christian life.
Mr. Rice spoke without notes and at
all times followed closely the subject
in his spoken text.

Sudden Death.

Miss Mary Stoeckle twenty years of
age. niece of Mrs James Purcell died
at the home of the Purcell family on
Rood street Sunday afternoon at about
four o'clock. of peritonitis
The death was a sudden one, the
yohng woman having been taken sick
only on Saturday afternoon after the
noon day meal. The deceased was as
sisting Mrs Purcell with the household
duties when her aunt. Mrs Purcell ad
dressed her saying ''How do you feel
Mary" her answer was " L feel
wretched. ~ This was the first iutima-
tion that her aunt had that she was
very ill. She was urged to go to bed
which she did at once and applications
were applied to relieve her pain and
then physician was called. She did
not suffer much during Saturday night
but when her physician DR.. Hanson
called Sunday morning he gave the
family knowledge that the young wo-
man was in a critical condition. DR..
Bull and DR.. Ingersoll were called
in on consultation and every possible
thing was done for the young woman.
but death relieved her of her pain and
suffering at the hour stated.
The deceased was a healthy looking
young woman. right in the prime of
maidenhood and had frequently as
sisted in the choir of st. Joseph S
church, having delightful soprano
voice. The many friends of the
young woman who made her acquaint-
ance during the year she has been
here Will hear of her sudden death
with the greatest regret.
The body will be shipped to her old
home at Wathena, Kansas tonight by
Cndertaker Bannister. James Pnrcell
her uncle by marriage, will accom-
pany the body to the former home.

Survey Maps Filed.

A. J. McCune. of Denver. former
state engineer and also former resi-
dent of Mesa county. who did the sur
vev work for the proposed Grand Val
ley Irrigation district ditch filed the
maps of the survey, signed by Presi-
dent L. NJ. Miller. with State Engin-
eer Carpenter last Friday.
The maps and the field notes of En-
gineer McCune are very thorough and
exhaustive.
The ditch or canal. for it will be
twenty eight feet wide on the bottom,
will be about forty six miles long. 1t
will be five and ono half feet deep and
will carry 497 cubic feet of water
per second.
The building of the proposed ditch
will bring 25000 acres of as good land
as the sun ever shone upon, under
water at an approximate cost of 1884,
S44, little over half e million dollars
The ditch. according to the maps
of the survey will tap the Grand river
on the south side above Palisades il
the canon. Six miles from the head
of the ditch 1t will cross over the riv-
er and continue its westward course.
The building of this great ditcl
means as much for Grand Junction as
anything that has been accomplished
i'll public way in many years. The
Sentinel is very glad that from its in
ception, when it was found that the
government was not doing anything
that it worked for the building of the
ditch by private enterprise. All the
time it had nothing in mind, hut Sc
curing water for the great body of ariC
land. which was Improbable anC
which if brought under water worlC
support large population.
1t is to be hoped that very soon thi
paper can make announcement tina
the bonds have been sold and tina
work has begun on this great irriga
tion waterway.

London, March Ia. - The rumor of
the evacuation of Port Arthur is re-
peated this morning from different
points but is absolutely without con-
firmation.
According to the st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
vague rumors are current here that
later telegraphs described the bonn
bardment of Port Ar thur was much
more serious than has been admitted
officially.
Suecial DISPATCHES from Toxic and
Yin Kow also gave reports of heavy
Russian casualties at Port Arthur
amounting to forty men killed and 100
wounded. but thew are SO conflicting
in details that it is not wise to give
much credence to them.
In a dispatch from Toxic dated
March 13. correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says in the latest attack on
! Port Arthur two Russian torpedo boat
destroyers were sunk and great damage
was done to the docks and forts and
arseDals. including the explosion of a
powder magazine. Dalny is reported
TO have been almost entirely DESTROYED
Several guns there were dismounted
and the crew of four torpedo boats in
side barbor are said to have deserted.
