DimcuIties In the way.

Difficulties In the Way.
Rev. A. l.. Nickel was the successor Of
Mr. Harrison, and It was understood that
the conference sent him to Omaha with
tho idea that he would bend his efforts
toward the building Of a church. All Of
his work and that OF the building commit
tee to this end is not generally known to
the public. The debt on the church was
still such that the pastor considered as
almost impossible the erection of a building
which the growth of the church demanded,
If ordinary methods OF securing subscrip-
lions were to be used. The idea was con-
ceived OF making the edifice a memorial to
some prominent citizen, provided the heirs
of the dead man would furnish the build
ing committee with about half the neces-
sary funds. Mr.. Nickel visited the sons OF
we'll known man who had recently died,
and they offered to give 5000 on a church
which would cost $4,000 and which was to
be named in memory of their father. This
decision was discussed at length by the
board, which finally arrived at the conclu-
sion that the remaining $4,000 could not
be raised, and rejected the offer. Mr..
Nickel then gave up all thought Of building
and began to collect money to repair the
old structure. He secured 5000. and when
Ihe left in October of 1904 this amount was
given into the hands OF the present pastor,
Rev d. w. McGregor.
What Mr.. Nickel did accomplish was to
clear the church Of debt and thus pave the
way for the work OF his successor. Tenth
street was first paved with cedar blocks by
the city, and taxes for this improvement
were heavy on the church. When Rev. ]. b.
Priest came to the church in 1894 the taxes
bad not all been paid. Sometime In his pas
torate the cedar blocks were removed and
the street paved with granite. Here was
AN added heavy burden TO the church. Mr..
Priest left in 1886. Rev. c. A. Luce. d. D.,
now pastor OF the Southwest Methodist
church, presided over the church for the
three years following and paid of part of
the debt. Mr.. Nickel secured a reduction
of taxes from the city in exchange for tho
right to several feet Of ground along Pierce
street and succeeded In paying the amount
stin due.

1t was In the spring Of 1872 that mission
was formed at Tenth and Pierce streets,
with Joseph NJ. Adair in charge. The city

the distance too great to the First church

President AmadOr Visits Washington,
The first story is as to how DR.. Amador,

its independence. The incident occurred
shortly after Colombia had refused to ratlfy
the sale OF the canal by the French to the

that this refusal would cause our congress
to adopt Nicaragua as the place for it's

He came and called upon the secretary OF

tary Taft manifested an interest In his
proposition, but he was noncommittal. He
said:
There is yet no breach OF friendship
between the United States ana Colombia
and we can do nothing now" This was SO
decisive that Dr\ Amador looked upon all
as lost and started back to Panama. on

@7AsT Sunday the cornerstone Of the

Our gunboat. the Nashville, was at this
time in the harbor, and its commander,
w NJ. Hunter, had been notified by Col
onel Shaler that there was likely to be
trouble. He had told Captain Hunter that
IL the American flag should be raised upon
his house, it would be a signal for the
marines to come to his support When the
soldiers threatened to fire upon the Ameri-
cans, Colonel Shaler holsted his flag and
went to the docks He had hardly reached
there before Captain Hunter landed with a
company OF thirty-eight marines. Colonel
shaler told his story. watching Captain
Hunter anxiously, to see how he would
take it, If he should refuse 10 assume the
responsibility Shaler realized that It was
all up with Panama. for the troops could
not be held back longer. AS he concluded
Captain Hunter said:
We'll, colonel, the only thing I see to do
Is to fortify the freight depot. You get
what men you can, and with them and the
marines / think we can prevent the cars
from going" This was done. The marines
took the station and piled up the cotton
bales lying there in front of them. Colonel
Shaler ordered his men from the railroad
shops and in a short time there were sixty
more Americans ready to fight. In the
"ieoHAhe the Daiue OF diplomacy was going
on. The officers had alrady been arrested
and word was sent from Panama that the
troops might come If they wished. This
was in the evening and Colonel shaier. on
the ground that he dared not risk his cars
and men CARRYING the soldiers across the
isthmus after dark, demanded that they re-
main until morning. They stormed, but
waited. In the meantime the lights OF a

them more American marines. The Colon

up. They decided 20 submit, especially as

Homestead, Pa, Sept. 16.-The last
gold piece OF the biggest payday In
the industrial history OF the world has
passed from employer to employe.
The wheels of the famous pay car" In

the Carnegie interests scattered from
Donora, a few miles above, to Youngs'

the past twenty-four hours $4,000, 900
to workmen. 1t was by far the big

assistants, is tired this evening. After

New York, September 2i.-After
eight weeks of careful preparation the.
United States District Attorney of this
district will tomorrow, according to re.
liable authority, cause the arrest OF
eleven heads of manufacturing con
Germs Of this city on warrants charg'
ing them with having conspired,
through the medium of an employers
association, to violate the contract Ia
Dor law by the importation Of foreign
workmen. The penalty Of conviction
is fine OF not less than $1,000 nor
more than $4,000, or imprisonment
for not more than two years.
It is understood that the Depart.
ment OF Commerce and Labor Is direct.
ing the prosecution, and has, through
its own agents, assisted by operators
of the secret service, prepared the case
against the accused. This has involved
many months Of Investigation and also
the keeping, since January last, OF four
men, English tile settlers, at Ellis IT,
land. II Is upon the evidence of these
four men, backed by an array of cor
roboratiye dispositions, that the Gov.
eminent chiefly relies.
The evidence in the case goes back
to the lockout of the Tile, Crate and
Mantel Association, an employers or
| ganization, Of the men Of the Mosaic
and Caustic Tile Layers and Helpers
Union of New York and Vicinity on
August 9Th of last year To make tho
lockout success. II is charged, the
employers association sent one of its
members to England and caused ad.
vertisements to appear in papers in
England and Germany offering tile
masons S. per day for eight hours
labor in the United States.
Fifty workmen, II is alleged, were
imported to the United States at the
instance of the eleven accused men
and were instructed to swear falsely
when questioned at Ellis island by the
immigration officials as to their rea.
sons for coming to America, and espe.
Cially to swear that they had as yet
10 employment in this country. II Is
also said that the men were furnished
with the address OF one of the accused
ana ordered to report to him.
Two weeks after the men were i'm
ported and the lockout began, 1t Is
alleged, the accused caused the Eng
fish workmen to be discharged on the
ground that they were not familiar
