NOW AFTER
ESTIMATES
BUILDING COMMITTEE OF BAP
list CHURCH HAVE PLANS
DRAWN FOR STRUCTURE.
Plans Contemplate Entirely New Build
ing and New Building With Old
Added As ChapeI-Arrangement
for Use Of German Lutheran
Church Entered Into.

The congregation of the Baptist
church held a business meeting last
night, at the parsonage, after the mid
week prayer meeting, when steps were
taken looking to the building of a new
church. Plans were approved and will
be submitted to the congregation for
estimates. The committee having the
matterin charge will see the contractors
and find what the probable cost will
be. There was a good attendance, Rev.
N. o. Patterson, the pastor Of the
time, and who returned yesterday af-
ternoon from st. Paul and Chicago,
being present inc taking part in the
proceedings.
The plans placed in the hands of the
building committee contemplate a new
church on the site of the old at the 20
ner Of Fourth and Grand venue The
new building will have an auditorium
seating 200. On this floor will be an
annex with two rooms for toilet pur-
poses II a modern baptistry. The
basement will contain six rooms, to
be used for Sunday school and ladies'
aid society purposes. The building
will be modern in every respect, and is
expected to be built for about $4,000.
This plan provides for the removal OF
the old building and the erection OF
the new on the site OF the old, the lat
ter to be torn dow and the lumber
disposed of.
Another plan discussed, and which
the committee will take into considera-
ton when calling upon the contractors,
IS the use of the old church as a chapel.
1t will be removed to another part O.
the lot and remodeled, being onnec
ed with the new building. This. OF
course. would mean the expenditure
of from one to two thousand dollars
more. The new part would be the
same as though the old building was to
be removed entirely. The second con
sideration is simply the addition of the
old building to the new and its reitting
following the disasterous fire of last
summer. causing the abandonment of
the building for church purposes.

the officers. Not because those ban

course, but because. they were not.
When we had a real crack-a-jack ban.
quet squads always appeared on the
MENU. They were not squads at all,
but chickens. No squads were to be
had in Manila. Still. to carry out the
deception, the caterer had a number OF
wax SQUAD heads made, and he fasten.

ran down in the neck. When the alleg

table manners to take the wax heads
out and lay them aside SO the caterer
could rescue them and use them at
the next banquet.
