Thousand Dollars.

The annual meeting of the members

to fill vacancies, and the committee re-
ported progress on the church. The
treasurer of the committee reported
total subscriptions of $11, 701.23, with
about 81, 1000 yet to be raised.
There was little said about the COM
pletion OF the new building, b COM
mittee having been empowered to pro-
coed with the erection of the building,
and the progress of the work at the
present time testifies to the ~alertness
and progressiveness of the committee.
Work in Good Shape.
All the branches of the church work
were found to be in excellent shape.
The services are well attended, the Sun
day school is perhaps the largest in
the county and interest in all the work
Is lively at all times. When the new
church is completed the congregation
will have a noble place of worship, a
modern building, comfortable and com.
modious, and there is no reason why
the congregation should not maintain
its place in the very front in the state.

William r. Hearst in his speech yes
terday and his recent speeches, in
which he said that Judge Alton B.

formerly graced, and there on behalf
of criminals secured a reversal of an
opinion he had formerly rendered, and
that Parker had also appeared as a
corporation attorney in the McClelland-
Hearst election case, have brought a

that such a man as he is unfit to make
appointments to the bench, which he
would do, according to the Murphy
Hearst agreement, as he understood it.

THE OPERA HOUSE

The big musical comedy, "a $40, 0O0

actresses in musical comedy, and her
dancing and singing are a revelation.

wealthy Hebrew, is a native of Den,

brew character comedian on the Amer,
lean stage. The chorus, especially the
broiler feature. is one of the very best
ever seen. "A $4,000 Beauty" is de-
scribed as "one of the brightest and
most delightful of musical attractions,
a lot of nonsense, a lot of pretty sing
ers, plenty of funny situations, tuneful
music, in short, a delicious tonic for
the blues" Seats on sale Saturday.
