The Central Park Methodist church
in St. Paul, Mimi, was recently made
free from debt This is the oldest

there Is local interest in the ceremony
because tablet was unveiled and
this tablet was carved by the hands
of J. f. Tostevin, grandfather of Mrs.
Herbert A. Haley of Norfolk and do
mated by him to the church fifty years
ago. The st. Paul Pioneer Press says
of the tablet:
The closing ceremony was the un-
yelling of the marble stone which J.
f. Tostevin had carved for the Jack
son street church fifty years ago, and
the brass tablet which the church trus-
inscription on the tablet is
This tablet formed part of the Jack
son Street M. e. church, successor to
the old Market street church, the first
Methodist Episcopal church built in
Minnesota. This Central Park church
being the successor of the jackson
street church. The above marble was
carved by the hands of J. f. Tostevin
and donated by him to the church fifty
years ago; who at that time was a
class leader, and who has ever since
sustained an unbroken official relation
to the church and is now president of
its board of trustees. His Official
brethren placed this tablet here as a
mark of respect and esteem for one
who has been an ornament to Mime
sofa Methodsm for more than half q
century"
Little Miss Dorothy Bannon un
yelled the tablet, and Mr. Tostevl
told something of the small beginning
of the church. DR.. Forbes spoke be
fore unveiling. He said:
"A hoary head is a crown of glory
If found in the way of righteousness.
Most of the hoary heads are right
eous. The wicked don't to old age.
Here is man who did not have to die
to find out he was good as you and |
do. Give me few bouquets now ant
I'll struggle along afterward. Many
who are covered with flowers in thel
long sleep never had a bouquet in
their life. This man chiseled with his
own hand the tablet which rested OF
the Jackson street church till it was
sold. | wish there were clause in
every deed so that a church could not
be sold. There is no need for it. &c
good preachers and it will solve the
problem of uptown, downtown, every,
where. Fill the pulpit and the people
will fill the pews. They want preach
ers who will say something"

have won her hundreds of friends who
are happy that she is happy.

seen accident and the expense declared
necessary in the way directed by the char
ter for spending money that the city
doesn't happen to have. Whatever is used
will be taken from the general fund.

our LETTER BOX,


BRADSHAW, Neb., Sept iS.-To the
Editor OF The Bee My attention has been
called 70 an article In The Bee Of September
Is saying that the York Times has made
the statement that the farmers elevators
OF York county are in the combine. l think
that Is a false rumor While they are get
ting along with the dealers all right the
facts are that the old dealers have become
reconciled to their fate and are willing TO
accept small margins. The farmers ele-
vators Of the different towns in York
county were organized and Incorporated
with the understanding that they should
handle the grain for its patrons and take
for a margin the exact cost Of handling
and 10 per cent on the money invested. We
did not organize for the purpose of killing
of the old dealers, but simply to have our
grain handled at cost. l was an organizer
and served as a director in the Bradshaw
Farmers Elevator company for one year,
having turned IL over to my successor June
/. l have implicit confidence in the integ-
rity Of the directors and manager. II they
have gone into a trust they have been very
successful in keeping it from me, and II
would defeat the purpose of the organiza-
tion.

FRANCHISE FOR TELEPHONE
Prospect Hill Improvers Debate oues-
tion Of Admitting Independent
system.

Franchise for an independent telephone
company in Omaha was the subject OF dis
cussion at the meeting OF the Prospect Hin
Improvement club last night. A. p. Hunt,
one Of the promoters Of the plan to estab-
llsh a second system In Omaha, and @. II.
Pratt Of the Nebraska Telephone company
had been invited. and q warm debate was
expected between the two. To the disap-
pointment Of the club Mr.. Hunt did not
make his appearance and the independent
promoters had no representatives Mr.. Pratt
made an extended address on the disad-
vantage Of another system in the city.
Another company in the city will compel
the use OF two telephones by the man who
would do business in the right way" said
Mr.. Pratt. They tell you their service will
be cheaper and the competition will be the
means OF making the Bell company reduce
/ its rates II IL is true that they start in
with cheaper rates than the Bell people
| there Is absolutely nothing to insure the
/ people against the increase OF these rates
| at any time. IL is fact that in every city
/ I'm the United States where there has been
/ an independent system for any length Of
| time the rates are about the same those
/ Of the Bell company The people OF Toledo
we're promised low rates and they granted a
| franchise They got low rates for time,
but now the rates are almost equal to those
they pay on the Bell and they have to use
two telephones. In st. Louis two telephones
cost the business men 500 year, where be-
fore a second company came in they paid
/ 500 for one telephone. Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Des Moines all have the same bur-
den~harnessed upon them"
John Daley and ]. II. Butler talked in
| favor Of an independent company. Charles
| Unit ] w VanCilder Ernest HoeI and
| Mr.. Carr talked against II.
The whole discussion came up after Mr..
Dailey had offered a resolution to the ef-
feet that the question Of granting a fran
chise to a second telephone company be
submitted to the people. The resolution
was laid on the table for further discussion
at next weeks meeting, and a motion was
passed to tender a second invitation to Mr.
Hunt. Mr.. Pratt said he would be present
to answer any arguments Mr.. Hunt might
make.
