time, as next Sunday their own church
will be completed and ready for wor

Methodist.
The Central Methodist Episcopal
church enjoyed large congregations
morning and evening, at Sunday school
and the League Society meetings.
The early evening service during aug.
ust, inauguarted last Sunday by Rev.
Somerville, seems to meet with the
approval of the congregations and
proved quite popular last evening.
AT the evening service Rev. ]. S.
Tussey, manager and promoter of the
Oskaloosa Chautauqua, appeared and
addressed the congregation in brief
eXhortation for the Chautauqua.
Union Meeting.
The union services at the Stone
Chapel lawn we're given over to E.
W. Blew, the superintendent of the
Sunday school work in Mahaska coun-

him interesting, in himself. He is
one of the most energetic field work.

UNABLE TO FINISH TUNNEL
OUTFIT OF CONTRACTOR ia
coNFIScATED.
irrigation Project in Northern Wyom-
ing Brought to StandstiII by In
ability to Get Labor and Cash.

Washington, Aug. 11t-AGtiag under
authority of the secretary of the in
terror, the director of the geological
survey Friday ordered the confisca-
ton of the Whole OF the contractors
outfit for work on the Corbett tunnel
on the irrigation project in northern
Wyoming. 1t was ascertained by the
Secretary that the contractor not only
abandoned the work but was about to
remete all his appliances from the
premises.
This contract was AWARDED to
Charles Speer, cashier of the Billings
State bank. He, in turn, made ar
rangements for carrying on the work
under the Western Construction COM
pany.
The difficulties of securing labor
and the high cost of material resulted
in such delays to the work that
it apparently became impossible to
finance the operations, and Aug.
the company was unable to pay the
400 or more men then employed.
The bids on Corbett tunnel were
opened Sept. 6, 1905, and awarded to
Charles Speer on an estimated basis
Of $594,325. The next lowest bid was
made by j. @. White & Co., of New
York, at $S95,75o. E al## Il

the firm had not been able to secur,
necessary men and financial backing
to carry them through the work. TIL,
bids for this work were opened Sept
5, 1905. and award made on an est
mated basis Of $515,75O. The mex
lowest bid was that of J. G. White 4
Co, of New York, at $55S,S55.

twas TOO delicious to the sense
Not MORALLY to tempt.
But had the tree of knowledge
bloomed,
Its branches, by such fruit perfumed
AS here enchants my view,
What mortal Adams taste could
blame
Who would not die to eat the same
When gods might wish Chew"
Major Andre was only 20 when he
was hanged as spy. He wrote the
following poem to Peggie Chew when
bidding farewell to Cliyeden:
IF at the close of strife and war
My destiny once more
Should in the varied paths of life
Conduct me to this shore,
Should British banners guard the
land
And factions be restrained,
And Cliyeden's mansion peaceful
stand
No more with blood bestained,
Say thou wilt then receive again
And welcome to thy sight
The youth who bids with stified
pain
His sad farewell tonight"
Peggie Chew afterward became the
wife of John Edgar Howard, the hero
of the Cowpens. Poor Andres vers-
es she carefully kept all her life,
leaving them to her daughter.
Living in Chicago is a great grand
daughter of Chief Justice Benjamin
Chew. Mrs. Mary Chew Hopkins is
almost as famous in our city as was
her illustrious ancestor in his. Pro-
minent for many years in all woman's
work, always to be found where wo-
man is struggling for progression, her
name has become a household word.
She is one of the eldest charter mem
bers of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. Mrs. Hopkins was
born in Philadelphia within sound of
the old liberty bell. When this re-
vered old bell was brought to Chicago
to take it's place among the nations
treasures at the Worlds Fair, it was
met at the station by a procession
and escorted to the grounds. Mrs.
Hopkins was assigned the place of
honor, riding directly after the bell,
with the stars and stripes held over
her head. The silk of which this
flag is composed was raised in 20
states. 1t was woven by the Philadel-
phia Woman's Silk company and pre-
scented to the board Of lady managers
Of the worlds fair.
Mrs. Hopkins married Alonzo H.
Hopkins, great grandson of Governor
Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island.

Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet flower
In Paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And babe it blossom there.
Precious darling he has left US,
Left us, yes, forever more;
But we hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours,
Since our dear one has gone;
But oh! brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is now his own"
