LINCOLN, July s.-(special THE First
Church Of Christ, Scientist, has adopted
plans for a church building TO be erected
at Twelfth and L streets, which, when COM
pleted, will cost 100000 AS soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made work
will be begun on a temporary building
which will be erected at cost Of between
5000 and $1,000 This building will consist
OF the Sunday school room OF the perma-
nent building rooted over temporarily. 1t
will be one story in height and its walls
will be built substantially enough so that
It can be used for number Of years If
necessary. When the permanent building
is erected the temporary building will com
prise one Of the rooms and 1t will be so
erected that there will be no waste Of
material in making the change.
The plans for the new building were
drawn by s. S. Beman Of Chicago, an ar
chitect who has designed over 100 Christian
scientist churches in the past few years.
He also designed the Bee building in
Omaha and made the plans of the town Of
Pullman, Ill. The Lincoln church Is very
similar to the Fifth church of Chicago,
which cost $4,000. and it is thought the
Lincoln building can be erected for the
same amount.
In general the building will follow the
ecclesiastical classic style of architecture,
pillars and plasters being one Of it's dis
tlnguishing features. While it resembles to
some degree the style usually followed in
library and club buildings It has enough Of
the ecclesiastic about Il to distinguish It
from these and designate It at once as a
church building. The classical style gives
ample opportunity for n stately and artis-
tic exterior which will make it one of
the most beautiful church structures in
the city.
Boy CuIprit Gets Away.
Clyde Wright, a Lincoln boy who lately
escaped from the reform school at Kear-
ney, made a heroic plunge from the win
dow Of a moving train yesterday, while
being taken back to Kearney, and is now
at large. He was in charge of Superintend-
ent Hayward and asked permission to go to
the toilet. Becoming uneasy about his alb
sence Mr.. Hayward went to the toilet,
found the window open and the boy gone.
The only way he could have escaped was
through the open window.
LRFOIIette Likes Lincoln.
Governor LaFollette OF Wisconsin was
in Lincoln between trains last night re-
turning to Madison from Beatrice, where
he had delivered a lecture. Upon this
occasion the Wisconsin governor got no
opportunity 10 turn DOWN an Oflclal well
come into the city by the governor Of
Nebraska, as he did year ago. Governor
LaFollette would not talk politics, but after
a walk around the town last night said
he liked Lincoln and thought it a nice,
prosperous city. He has been delivering
lectures almost daily for the last three
weeks.
Penitentiary school a Success.
The school at the state penitentlary which
was instituted upon the recommendation
of John Davis, secretary of the State Board
Of Charities and Corrections, is progressing
nicely. Twice a week the convicts attend
ing are assembled in the dining room and
put through the lessons they have studied
Z during the other days. So far the school
has about forty pupils, which number will
be largely Increased when the Instructors
take up the higher branches of education.
At this time only the first branches are
taught, some of the convicts, under the
direction of the chaplain, doing the teach
ing.

DR.. George l.. Miller of the prison COM
