OBSERVE FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Brotherhood Bible Class Event Draws
Immense Audience to M. e. Church.

~ OSJCtUOOQ GSlbIC SidSS .SCUn OIdWS
Immense Audience to M. e. Church.
Special services We're held at the
Methodist church Sunday evening, and
every available seat and chair was oc-
cupied. there being between 1900 and
1,400 present. The occasion was an OBJ
servance of the first anniversary of the
Brotherhood Bible Class. Seats were
reserved for the members of the class,
who assembled in the basement of the
church. and at S o'clock 1876 young
men, and 100 young ladies, the latter
members Of Mr.. Young's Bible class,
entered from the opposite side Of the
church, and took their places.
Rev. Merle n. Smith delivered a
most inspiring and helpful address to
the young men on the theme of Chris
tian Patriotism" He spoke briefly of
the dangers Of the American republic,
laying special emphasis on the perlls
that lie in over-contidence. the liquor
traffic, and gradual yielding to the
dominating influence of commercial
ism. He then spoke Of the hopes OF
our nation, and the awakening Of the
public conscience on different
matters Of vital Importance to our
future welfare, which is SO de-
pendent upon the character and the
quality of the nations young manhood.
He endeavored to- impress the young
men with their responsibility as citi-
zens, citing the fact that all former
great battles have been fought and
won by young men. He ceased with
the words of his text: THAT to fear
God and keep his commandments is
the whole duty OF man." and that by
doing this we all assume the correct
relation to our brother man. and that
if our young men only seek to become
true and noble Christian workers, our
present dangers would pass away, and
the future happiness and prosperity
Of our nation would be assured. The
object Of the Brotherhood Bible Glass
is to make such men. Mrs. La Grande
F. Wheedon Of Medina, N Y. sang The
church was tastefully decorated with
American flags and flowers.

Marshall County Has No Bonded In
debtedne.s-Last Outstanding Bond
Taken up,

For the first time in it's history Mar
shall county Is free from debt, except
ing of course those bills which accu-
mulate monthly. The board Of super
visors has taken up the last outstand-
ing bond of $1,000, which was one Of
the last issued many years ago. This
bond was held by someone in the east,
and altho an effort was made by the
supervisors to take it up and pay 1t
last summer, the holder would not let
go Of it until 1T matured. 1t did this
recently, and the board Immediately
paid for it, and now the county is pay
ing no interest on money borrowed.
Marshall county is probably the only
county Of the state which has no
bonded indebtedness, and besides 1t
has large surplus OF cash on hand.

ARm0RY SITUATION
SMACKS OF INTRIGUE
IN CERTAIN QUARTERS

While people are wondering why
the projected armory is costing so
much more than was planned, they
might we'll turn their attention to
the question of the work Of the
architects.
The architects may be blamed for
putting such a cost on the build
ing. The architect is in business
for himself and the costler the
building he succeeds in getting
erected, the more money he gets
out of his victim--in this case the
public.
Simply stated, the case is this:
John Smith has $4,000 he intends
to put into a home. He tells the
architect this. The architect
speedily gets an agreement that
ne is to be Smiths architect. He
has cinch on Smiths job, and his
next move Is to see if he cant
make more out of the job. If he
can make Smith believe for a time
that the job is going to come with
in $4,000 all Is well. Finally after
construction Is under way, Smith
finds that he has got a $4,000 job
saddled On him which he cannot
easily dislodge. He Is cajoled into
getting the other $4000-and the
architects percentage fee is by SO
much greater.
If the bids of leading contractors
of the city can be trusted, the
armory architects planned a cost
lier building than the one for which
the order was placed. Perhaps
they hoped that they could cajole
somebody into standing for a cost
lier structure. The contractors
bids certainly show that the plans
made could not be carried forward
within the units of the appropria-
ton.
Here are the bids received for

The price then went down, the in

HIkED FOR
TALL TIMBER

While Attorneys Gulluly and
Croft were securing a writ of ha-
beas corpus for the release of Thos.
Murphy and Frank Leake this
morning, those two worthless were
hiking for the tall timber east Of
Hillyard.
Leake and Murphy were arrest
ed Tuesday on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. They were accus--
ed of having entered into fight in
the Florence bar. The men were
proven not guilty yesterday but
Judge Hinkle left instructions for
the men to be held and a charge
of vagrancy preferred against
them.
The two attorneys at once went
to the superior court to secure a
writ of habeas corpus. Before the
writ was served the men had been
turned loose, and made a straight
line for the corporate limits.
