DESCRIBES MODEL CHURCH
Evangelist Austin Attracts Large Au.
dience by Sermon on old-Time
ReIiqion

The evangelist, De Forest Austin.
again attracted an audience that taxed
the seating capacity of the East Side
Christian church to hear his sermon
on The Church of the Old-Time Re-
ligion" last evening. He said:
The church of Jesus Christ is a
divine institution. God gave the
Christ as model man. Also, on the
Day of Pentecost A. d. 33, in Jerusa-
lem, through the inspired apostles es-
tabl1shed model church. The Acts
of Apostles gives a record of the es-
tablishment of this church with what
was required as conditions of member
ship. To the extent that church fol-
lows the divine model and adheres to
the divine discipline Goods word), it
is n divine institution, but as it sub
stitutes humanity authorized conditions
and commands it is a human institu-
ton, such as lodge, and is not
Christs church.
This model church, according to the
inspired record, required only faith in
Christ, repentance and baptism as
initiatory conditions of membership
the same things commanded by the
apostles in answer to the question
What must I do to be saved In other
words, the same thing that made one
a Christian and granted the promise
of salvation made him a member of
Christ's church. why not today?
IF the Christian world would require
all and only what this, the model
church required, the question Of 'feder-
alton and church unity would be set
tied. This church took the inspired
word as their only authority, was
simply Christs church and it's members
known as Christians. 1t was not

periods of silence in which he learns
that the secret of solitude is that there
is no solitude
"The day should also be used for that
spiritual culture which only comes to
men collectively. The children and
youth need the training of the spiritual
school. The Importance of the Sunday
religious gathering cannot be overes-
timated. It's social moral and spiritual
features are invaluable. Tt is not wise
to support a dead church or listen to
UEinspiring preaching, but surely in
such community as this every man
and woman can find some religious
home where the Sunday service will
minister to their mind and conscience
and soul"

STATE FAIR BOARD BUSY.
Settling Up the Expenses-AIl Bills
Promptly Paid.

The state fair board is settling up
the expenses of the fair and all bills
and premiums will be promptly paid.
Altogether the fair was an unprece-
denied success and the management
deserve the highest praise for their
efforts to make the fair the best ever
held an this part of the Northwest.
Hurons accessibility, together with
the splendid service over the Chicago
& North Western railroad, for which
all are indebted to Supt. Mccarthy and
his assistants, contributed in large de-
gree TO the success attained. Special
attention was given to shippers of
stock and articles for exhibition, and
as to the general public no better ar
rangement could have been desired
than that governing the special excur-
sion trains from all parts of the state,
bringing thousands of visitors to the
fair daily. Many were here from
all parts of the state, bringing thou
sands of visitors to the fair daily.
Many were here from neighboring
states, and all express much surprise
at the magnitude of the fair and the
generous exhibits in every depart
ment; in fact none went away dissat-
istied, but all were lavish in praise of
the fair.
These facts will be an incentive to
the people to make the exhibition next

GOLD ALONG MISSOURI RIVER.
Experienced Miners Find 1t in Paying
Quantities in the Sandbars.

Notwithstanding the apparent i'm
probability of finding gold in paying
quantities in the sandbars along the
Missouri river, some excitement has
been caused along the river in the
southern part of South Dakota by the
discovery that for some weeks several
mysterious personages have been at
work on the river the mouth of Whet-
stone creek extracting gold from the
sand and gravel washed down the
creek and river.
The party is said to be composed of
expert miners and gold-seekers from
Denver, and it is said on good author
ity that their efforts have not been en-
tirely fruitless. 1t is stated that the
sand contains gold in considerable
quantities.
The mysterious fortune hunters re-
Gently received a large gasoline en-
CINE and other mining machinery pre-
paratory to commencing operations on
a larger scale. The mysterious stran-
gers were first seen in that locality
about a year ago. After remaining for
quite while they disappeared. but
this summer again returned and have
since been at work extracting gold or
some other mineral from the sand.
The inquisitive people who have APP
preached them on one or two occa-
sions found they We're not at all COM
municative, beyond giving the infer
ence that they are in the employ of an
atlas house and were making maps
and taking notes of the country
Many of the residents of that part
of the state have for years believed
the Missouri river bluffs near the
mouth of Milestone creek contained
somt sort of mineral, and they natu-
rally are seeking to verify the rumor
to the effect that the strangers are Sc
curing gold in paying quantities from
what has heretofore been regarded as
worthless sand
Those who accept the theory that
gold in paying quantities is being Sc
cured declare that the precious metal
has been washed down from the gold
bearing rocks of the Black Hills, which
are situated directly west of the TO-
cality where the strangers are thought
to be extracting gold from sand.

QUARREL ENDS IN TRAGEDY.
Charles Albert Shoots Employer
Charles Brant.

Charles Brant.
Charles Albert, a farm hand, is I'm.
der arrest at Webster for shooting
his employer, Charles Brant. The
shooting arose over quarrel over
wages, Albert claiming that Brant
owed him SIT which Brant refused to
pay. Albert fired six shots from 49,
caliber revolver at Brant, three of the
shots taking effect, inf1icting wounds
of the wounds are serious, and Brant
was able to appear in court at the
preliminary trial Of Albert.
The stories of the shooting differ.
One report says that the two men
quarreled over Albert's wages and
that Albert became enraged and open
ed fire on Brant. Brant fled, jumping
into a buggy and driving to town for
surgical aid. Officers started in
search of Albert, says the same report,
and reaching Brant's house were
misdirected in the search of Albert by
Brants daughter Another report
connects the name of the daughter,
Mrs. Davis, and Albert as former low
ers. 1t is said by Brant that his
daughter was present during the
shooting. Still another report says
the shooting was done in an attempt
to rob Brant of money obtained by the
sale of cattle. The daughter and AL
bert have been arrested.
