BY BISHOP NC DOwELL

Most Of the churches for miles
around will suspend services 90 attend
the dedication exercises for the New
Chapel which has been three years in
building. and whose commanding
tower is now seen from a large part
Of three counties around.
The building was designed by the
noted firm Of Howells & Stokes. Of
New York, aud in accordance with
the wish OF the donor has been built
so far as possible by students. The
students made the 10000 bricks
used in the immense edifce. and
every brick was laid by students. ia

Flemish Bond Students spread the
roof, built the tower, and helped in
all parts, though assisted boy other

The great auditorium viii seat
nearly 1000 persons on the main
floor, and over 400 in the galleries.
The oak ceiling contains over $4,000
feet Of lumber and would have been
immensely expensive had the College
not owned the oak and the machinery
by which il was worked. The smaller
auditorium seats 800 people, and
there are three Bible Class rooms
seating 100 each. The tower is de
signed for a chime Of ten bells on
which any church tune can be played.

The subject of irrigation is one
that should attract more attention
than il has hitherto in the eastern
and southern portions of our country.
II is said the Government has allotted
S27 $50. 600 for the reclamation Of
l,02S,600 acres Of land that without
this reclamation would be practically
worthless. The National Irrigation
Association is sending out a good
deal Of matter on this subject, es.
pecially in regard TO the Rio Grande
project. Any wishing information
on this subject should write to the
Association at Washington.
Eight indictments for bribery
we're returned last week by the Knox
County Grand Jury against county
officers elected at the last election
Some at least Of the men indicted
are men of high standing in the

he could not vote TO indict the men
when, in his opinion, the same
methods that they used are in use in

From the annual report Of Com.
missioner General Sargent Of the
Bureau Of Immigration we learn that
the last year has been the banner

cerned. The total alien arrivals have

over the preceding year Of 2l3,6l9.
It is gratifying to learn that the
Commissioner thinks that high water
mark has been reached and that a
decrease in the number of immigrants
may be expected in the future.

torney Of ChautaUqua county has discharged
Prank j. Monet as counsel in the Santa
Fe inquiry.
About half Of the members OF the asso-

ton means a letting up and surrender TO
the Standard Oil Company. The other
half say Monet broke into the fight with
out an invitation, that he does not repre-
sent the State Of Kansas and that he docs
represent Congressman Hearst as a special
correspondent.
The Kansas authorities say Hearst sent
Monet TO Kansas 70 connect the Santa
Fe and the Standard Oil Company in a sys-
tenn Of rebates, and to place the RESPONSE
bility on Secretary Of the Navy Morton
who was at the head Of the Santa F6 traffic
department and thus humiliate the Presi-

there so the last notch Of the controller
on all local trains has been cut out, making
IL impossible for the train to hit that curve
