TOWN ELECTION.

On Mondays rune 4. the election
will take place for Mayor and AL
dermen Of the town of Covington
and much interest is being dis
played, as usual, in this lmportan
event.
| DR.. G. Z. Williams, who has
faithfully served as Mayor for the
past fourteen years, has consented
to be candidate .or reelection.
Under his careful and wise adj
ministration Coyington has, in the
pest few years, experienced an era
of unbounded prosperity, the results
of which are visible on all sides, es.
pecially in improved street work,
drainage, electric lights, ETC.. ana
under his administr alton the town
has grown almost to the dimensions
Of city, while law and order have
been well preserved. -.
His administration since his in-
duction in Office has resulted III
giving US an honest, progressive.
straightforward and efficient local
government, and he has managed
the affairs of the town with prudence
and rare ability.
Several members of the present
Council will be candidates for re.
election, while number of new
ones will appear on the ticket, which
will be composed as follows:
For Mayor.
DIR. G. Z. WILLIAMS.
For Aldermen.
j.. S. JONES.
s. D. BULLOCK.
E. j. FREDERICK.
LEON BEAUCOUDRAY.
w. r. BADON.
CHAS. v. QUAVE.
All OF the above are gentlemen
engaged in active business here, and
all are extensive property owners,
businessmen and taxpayers, and
are necessarily interested IN tie
advancement and progress of the |
town, and our municipal affairs
will be In safe hands under their
administration, and the upward aud
onward movement will continue un
til the town grows into q city Of
vast proportions. Doubtless others
might do as we'll, but none better !;
and their record as businessmen,
property owners and progressive
citizens will doubtless secure for |
them the support Of vast majority
of the voters, who desire good gov.
ernment and advancement all along
the line.

WORKMAN is KILLED BY FALL
Frank shoItS Victim of Accident
in Tearing Down Y. NJ. c. A.
Building.

The work being done for J. L. Brandeis
& Sons on Douglas, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets, claimed another
victim yesterday when Frank Sholtz, aged
about IS years, stumbling over a brick
lying on a window cap on the second floor
of the old Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building fell TO the floor, then
out through the window and landed on his
head and shoulders on the hard pavement,
dying about an hour afterwards at the
Methodist Episcopal hospital.
Sholtz was employed by Walter S. Jar
dine in the demolition of the association
building and was removing stones over a
second story window in tearing down the
walls. He had cleared a window cap. but
on it's upper surface lay a brick which
proved the means of throwing Sholtz to
the ground. Just at the same moment the
parade of the Colored Knights OF Pythias
was passing up Sixteenth street, and 1t
was asserted by some Of the other work.
men Sholtz was attracted by the music
of the band, relaxing his vigilance for his
own safety, and possibly even attempting
to cut caper to the tune of the melody
on his lofty perch. In falling he first
struck about seven feet below, then slid
out OF the window. He was rendered un-
DIR. w. s. Gibbs was fortunately near at
hand and Dr. Fitzgerald was also sum-
moned Sholtz remained in a comatose
| state until sent to the Methodist hospital
/ by Dr. Gibbs. He did not live long after
| his arrival, the great shock and conges-
ton of the chest with the other injuries
/ causing death about $3.50 O'Clock.
SholtE had roomed recently at soc South
Thirteenth street and had also spent some
nights with a friend at the State hotel
1872 Douglas street. He had been en-
ployed a number of years as teamster foi
Walter Jardine. proprietor OF the Omaha
Merchants Express and Transfer company
and had lived in Omaha internationally FOL
nearly twenty years He was married
about five years ago 20 an Omaha dress
maker, but the two did not live long to
gether. Where the wife is now has no
been learned. Little is known concerning
the dead man among his associates. Thu
only known relative is a sister, who resides
in small town in Nebraska.
Coroner Bradley will swear in jury a
the scene OF the accident at o'clock thi
morning, before the workmen begin tear
ing down more OF the building.
In order to have the building demolshet
ana removed on contract time the con
tractors worked their men yesterday. al

Paint Rock rivers the chief tributaries OF

Three large ice gorges have formed in th6

CHURCH OF The LIVING GOD
Central Function is to Support Gospel as
Revealed Through Christ.
TO CHAMPION TRUTHwTH ALLTS POWERS
Not EnouEh simply 90 Respond TO
Popular Demand OF Preaching
only Pleasant side OF
the Doctrine.

''rhe Church OF the Living God" was
the subject OF the sermon by Rev. II. c.
Herring at the First Congregational church
yesterday morning In part he said:
The living God referred to in the passage
was, OF course, the God revealed through
Jesus Christ and the church OF the living
God was the sum of those organizations
that represented God before the eyes OF
men. Anything that makes for itself large
things is subject to large criticisms and
the church has had its share Of these.
There is no lie. no impostor no super
stition that has not at some time found
a place IN the church. If any proof Of the
truth of the living God is needed it is found
in the fact that its church has survived
all OF these. Any human institution would
have persisted. ..
The history of the church has been sad
at times but sadder still is the history
Of the world in which the church existed.
However dark the history of the church
has been at times, even at its darkest 1t
has been the brightest thing in the world.
The light of the church has never been
utterly extinguished and its light has al
ways been brighter than the lights Of men.
The central function OF the church is TO
support the great gospel Of love and truth
as revealed through Christ. II cannot do
this by mechanical means. II cannot up
hold the truth by merely administering the
sacrament or by preserving it in the rigid
form OF theological statements This error
is still in the world. 1t can do It only by
championing the truth with all its ram
somed powers. Many would have us preach
only the simple form OF the gospel Of COM
fort without relation to the collateral In
terests OF the kingdom. This is demanded
by those who wish TO conform decently to
the forms OF religion and seek pleasures
at the same time. That is not enough
We must uphold in our lives the truth In
all forms and activities which this mani
fold life takes on"

Does man have to plant his feet in the

com Park Methodist church Sunday morn
ing in his sermon on 1.-THE Preachers Com

when a local preacher spoke not long since
on the subject Of civic righteousness, n

remind him that he was a citizen but for n
little while, and that soon he would pass
on to another place.

only will he a superiority, but will be rele-
gated to the social dump pile. Let him keep
to himself, says society, and devote himself
TO prayers for women and children. leaving
other things alone. and for the present we
will tolerate him.
but for all that the preacher has a COM
mission and he is bound TO fulfill it. God
needs the preacher and he is the only man
necessary 20 the divine plan. Every man.
woman and child is in larger sense and a
simple way a preacher of the gospel.
should not like to think I was the only
preacher in this church, preaching some
thing like leo sermons a year. but that the
church consists OF S75 preachers. who preach
every day in the year, making in all l4O0Ot

1T is an age when there is great danger
OF forgetting that the first duty OF this
Christian minister is the preaching of the
gospel. know OF churches where the gos
pei is a secondary consideration; they are
looking for a man who has great executive
power. ability TO gather money and builC
