mentioned Omaha, Florence. Papilllon. Iron

Pickens as places where preaching was
held
The missionary Travelled from neighbor-
hood to neighborhood and preached the
gospel His dependence for food and raj
ment for himself and family was upon a
few and scattered church members and
friends who were engaged In making homes
for themselves His receipts were small
and his meager support was augmented
by presents of food, clothing and other
articles. There was not church building

Of the work, except the one at Florence.
and the places for holding services were
primitive and in the winter uncomfortable.
In the last year OF his work, 1874, Mr.. Adair
raised money to apply on the debt on the
church and lot on Tenth street. The build
ing on the lot was small, but it served as
place in which to preach and conduct a
Sunday school.
About the time OF the autumnal
equinox in 1876" says Rev. James Haynes,
who wrote "A History Of Methodism in

and promised that II they succeeded in
cancelling the debt at the rate mentioned
in the condition, they should have his
services free for a year The debt was
removed from property in twelve months.
Mr. Rowe was reappointed the following
year He called the officers Of the church
together to plan the years work. He told
them II they would guarantee him a salary
of $500 he would lay II aside to be used
In the erection of a new church. The sal

time. II was at once decided to nip the
plot in the bud by appointing new officials.
Troops were ordered to Panama and the
officers sent with them had instructions to
execute Messrs, Amador, Obaldia, Tomas
Arias, Federico Boyd. Augustin Arrange and
others. This was duly reported at Colon in
advance OF the arrival of troops, so that
these men knew that II Panama did not be-
come independent they would lose their
heads. They had already organized their
army with General Huertas at its head, and
were ready to act at the time the troops
came. The Colombian soldiers numbered
$50 men, three generals and six colonies,
but It was only the officers who came to
Panama on the first train, leaving the SOL
diers to follow.
The officers arrived at 10 o'clock They
were met by the state officials and treated
with honor. No mention OF revolution was
made and Colomblans and Panamans dined
together at the presidents palace. After
dinner the Colombian generals made de-
mand that the Panama army be turned
over to them, and they showed their au-
thority from the government at Bogota.
The Panaman officials pretended to comply
and all went to the fort where General
Huertas was In command. The general or
dered the troops out and the Colombian
officials were ready to take charge. They
were about to do so when Huertas raised
his hand and the soldiers surrounded the
Colombians. They were told they were I'M
der arrest and were marched on to prison
This was done and the revolution was ac-
complished, the Colombian soldiers in the
meantime being held at Colon.
Had they been at Panama they could have
defeated the Panamans and the revolution
would never have been accomplished with
out bloodshed, or without the direct inter-
vention Of the American gunboats
How the Panama Railroad Helped.
The fact that the Colombian troops did
not get to Panama was largely due 20 Col
onel Shaler, the superintendent OF the
Panama railroad. Colonel Shaler knew that
the Panamans intended 10 rebel; but this
railroad company was indebted to Colombia
for it's franchise, and he had to nominally
support the Colombian government or the
charter might be annulled. Colonel shaler
citizen, and as such wanted Panama 10
succeed and Uncle Sam TO get the canal.
The situation required diplomacy and nm
esse, and Colonel ShaleF rose 20 meet H.
lie evidently knew that our gunboats were
coming. and that II he could keep the
soldiers for a day OF so In Colon, Pana-
mas independence might become a reality.
For this reason he got the Officers 20 make
their trip across the isthTnus on the first
train. intimatng that the troops would
follow on a special train an hour later.

Some Interesting Incidents.
People used to wonder why the windows
were one color In one side of the church
and another on the opposite SIDE 1t was in
the summer of 1895 that a big hailstorm
came which broke thousands OF windows in
the city. The full force of the storm struck
one side of the church and beat out all the
windows there. while the windows on the
other side were uninjured. No glass to
match the windows could be secured and
glass of another color had to be taken. The
two sorts OF glass were still 10 the church
when It was torn down.
When Rev. ]. B. Priest, now pastor OF
the Seward Street Methodist church. be-
comes reminiscent, he tells Of the time the
floor fell 1t was on the evening OF Easter
in 1896. and the congregation had gathered
for services. Mr.. Priest had just begun to
pray when he heard a terrific crash. He
looked out from the pulpit to see the floor
sinking and to hear the congregation
screaming and yelling. A large timber had
given way and let the floor drop two feet

quest was held in reserve for the purpose.
Rev. David Marquette, who came to the
church in 1879, was the indefatigable worker
who was responsible for the erection of
the church The little mission church and
the parsonage built by Mr.. Tibbles was on
the corner directly east of the present
church. Mr.. Marquette. when he found
SUFFICIENT encouragement in his efforts at
gathering subscriptions bought the present
location of the church at cost OF 81, 200.
Twelve months after the old property was
sold and Mr.. Marquette began the building
of a new house OF worship. To carry out
his plans the persistent preacher kept at his
canvass until he had gone over the largest
part of the city, applying personally TO
business men, clerks, and others The
house was completed in the third year of
Mr.. Marquette's partorate and was formally
dedicated by Bishop John F. Hurst, July
10, 1881. With the subscriptions, the money
from the sale OF the old property and the
reserve fund left by Mr.. Roe, the church
was able to start in its new home with
large proportion of its debt paid
1t was a day of thanksgiving but the
gladness was marred by one thing. On his
bed in the city of Washington lay President
Garfield with a bullet hole through his
body He had been shot eight days before
by the assassin Guiteau. Before the dedica-
ton a prayer for his recovery was pro-
nounced by Rev John b. Maxfeld.

The reply came back in another code word
which meant. win be in Panama within
four days" This cable was sent through
Bunau-Varilla. and. sure enough, four days
later the first vessel arrived. The day fol-
lowing its arrival the Panama Independence
was declared.
But this was not the only cable that came
that day. 1t seems that the authorities at
Washington were getting anxious. They
cabled the vice consul general OF the United
States. who was acting in the absence OF
his chief, the query: How are AFFAIRS In

Andrews. whose
episcopal home at
that date was at
Des Moines, Ia, to
come to Omaha and
dedicate the house.
The bishop came
and preached, but
refused to utter the
dedicatory formula,
saying the people
should build better
before giving a
house to Gods
service.
Mr.. Tibbles was
a stenographer and
newspaper reporter,
and rather than de-
pend upon the
membership to pro-
vide a salary, he
gave more time to
writing. for which
he was in a small
way compensated.
The charge. hence.
did not prosper in
his care. but he adj
ded to its indebted
ness by having a
parsonage built on
the south side of
the meeting house
at a cost of about
$500. most OF which

that the charge was

been for the advice
of John Phipps
