AN ADvERTIsING MINTsTER

The Rev. Judson Ellsworth, pastor
OF the Plymouth Congregational
church, Milwaukee, recently signed a
contract with the Milwaukee Sentinel
for one-inch display advertisement
to run fifty-two times-for every Sum
day in the year. Mr.. Ellsworth has
studied advertising to some purpose,
for in the course of an interview re-
lating to this advertising contract, he
said:
II have made this contract simply
because believe it will be a paying
investment for the church. | paid
the price which the advertising man
ager asked, without any request for a
special reduction, for I believe that
the church ought to pay for their an
nouncements of their Sunday serv-
ices, which are now published gratui-
tonsly by the city press. I see no
reason why the newspapers should
give this valuable space to the church.
| offered opay for my announcements
long ago, but was told that the
other churches did not pay, and was
not expected to. Istand ready to pay
for these announcements whenever
the newspapers desire it. AS churches
we ought not to hide our light under
a bushel. We are meant to use every
placed at our hands, and I con-
slider newspaper advertising one of
the mighty powers of which we ought
to take advantage. AS rule, the
morning services do not need
to be advertised ;evening services do. !"

ROCKFORD TAKES A FLYER.
Attorneys From the Illinois City Seek
Something From Durkee Estate


Attorneys in nearly every city in
the state of Illinois, with the excep-
ton of Rockford, have already at
tempted to get something out of the
estate of the late Charles Durkee, of
this city, and Rockford is determined
not to be out-done.
This morning County Judge Slosson
received a letter from attorneys in
that city asking that copies of the
papers in the estate be forwarded to
them. It is stated IN the letter that
these men are to make another effort
to reopen the fight. It viii probably
be just as successful as the legion of
other attempts that have been made
in the past few years.

DEATH A SAD SURPRISE.

Relatives of Fred Hawkins Did Not
Know What Had Become of Him.
DR.. F. B. Lansdowne, former county
coroner, has received a letter from
the relatives of Fred Hawkins, the
Fo1kestone, England, man who was
killed on the Holt farm some time
