Evangelist Clarke organized a new church in our little city Sun- day, the Disciples or Church of Christ. He and his excellent wife and daughter have been holding a meeting for the past ten days at the Baptist Church with good results and on last Sunday or the first Lords day of this month they ordained their board of elders and per fected the organization having eighty additions up to Sunday evening.
 Evangelist Clarke breaches the gospel in it's purity and simplici- ty, he being man of culture and education. His pleas are forceful and eloquent ladend with thought and language rich in Holy Writ, there being a rich vein of humor and illustration that charm, and a deep pathos that points to nobler deeds. As he says, this is speculative age. Men are born hither and thither, without anchorage, they are adrift without oar or rudder on a sea of doubt and uncertainty, hence many have become indiffer- ent to christian truth and their own spiritual life. Nearly all men of today are theologians of a greater or less degree. They have their own independent in- terpretations of scripture, their own theories of Christ, Heaven and Hell and their own plan of salvation, which, too often, do not in the least, accord with what Christ teaches. We are to- day stumbling over fragmentary creeds-we have not built a system we live by scraps and creedS. We need to come back to the great teacher, Christ. He is the Christians authority hence it is pre- -eminently neccss- ary that we know what he thought about God and the des- tiny of man. If you feel that the battle of life is against you; that of your own strength you cannot do right: that the consciousness of guilt drives from your life all comfort and that sin is slowly weaving it's powers about you then come to these meetings. You will be welcomed as a searcher after help; you will be pointed to the great Physi- clan who tender]y deals with suffering souls.

 9. That we love most we act like-then we constantly think of initiate and act like that we love and we become like Him, the savior of the world"
 At the close of the sermon the usual invitation was given and thirty-fv came forward to unite with the church.
 At the evening servace Evan gelist Clark spoke to all that could possibly get in the house and all that could get near the windows from the out side and many were turned away.
 His theme for the evening ser vices was "The Relative Position of the lodge and the church or Fraternal Salvation Text, Acts 4:12. For there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, save Jesus.
 The Evangelist spoke in part:
 God created man the last thing he did, placed him in the garden of Eden to tend the fruits, and he showed unto man the tree of life and the tree of knowledge, told man to partake of the tree of life but not the tree of knowledge, as sure as he did he should shurely die. Satan tempted man and caused him to be a seeker. Man partook of the tree, God turned him outinto the world, leaving him still a seeker-man has ever been thus. So God set to work to devise ways and means to overcome mans desire by placing his only begotten son in the world that man might place that desire upon him.
 The Evangelist took man as an individual and brings him down the years of time as seeker, first applying to the worldly things and nothing satisfies. He speaks at length of the fra ternal brother hoods of this earth, one of which had it's origin one thousands years before christianity was given to the world and it's purpose was to give to the world God and the Bible. That they foretold the coming of a Christ and every member which King Solomon had numbered and bound to- gether under certain pass, was at some time and place to represent no less man than that fone. which was to come. All being numbe red lhere were one hundred sixty-five thousand 
 three hundred and fifteen known as workmen on the temple. Man, seeker comes on down the years of time Masons take him, he is not satisfied, still a seeker. Odd Fellows take him still not satisfied. Knights of Pythias take him, still not satis- fled, going through all the fra ternal brotherhoods of this earth still not satisfied. He speaks at length on masonry being man. hood.

Thought to Have Killed Neishbor
Who Played Joke on Him.
NORFOLK, Neb, Jan. 2-(Special. y
Isaac Syfe. the Syrian who was suspected
of foul play in the death of Peter Kaden,
the Rosebud settler from Hoskins, Neb..
whose dead body was found in a we'll and
who, a letter on Kaden's table made II
appear had committed suicide because he
was called a horsethief. has been arrested
here on the charge Of murder In the first
degree.
Syfe entered a plea Of not guilty and the
preliminary hearing was set for Saturday,
January Do. in Bonesteel before Justice J.
NJ. higgins.
The crime with which Syfe IL charged
occurred December 30. Peter Kaden. a
Rosebud farmer. was found dead In a we'll
on the homestead of Rancher King A let
ter found on Kaden's table, written in a
German hand, seemed to indicate that
Kaden, through mental anguish over be-
ing called a horsethief, had jumped into the
well. Four or five days after Kaden's death
syfe, who lived near. came to Bonesteel
| and said that he wanted to swear out a
warrant against Kaden for stealing his
horse.
1t seems that syfe had a team which
| he feared would be stolen, and. to plague
| him. Peter Kaden. Peter Peterson and wife
and neighbor named Bleegel planned and
executed joke on Syfe by turning loose
! his horses. Later the Joke was explained
to Syfe, but he was angry. and II is said
that at the house of Settler Erickson on
the night before Kaden was found dead
| syfe had frequently threatened to take
Kaden's life. The two men, syfe and
Kaden, left the Erickson house toge the,
late Saturday night and Kaden was neve,
seen alive again. His body was found mex,

PEELED TO rely almost entirely upon its

and for what the money should be spent
The meetings NJ the Board Of ReScats
have always been conducted behind closed
doors, and the only information that gets
TO the public of the boards action comes
through the clerk OF the board.
1t was only a few months ago that the
Beard of Regents listened TO the demands
of the students and instructed the secre-
tary to the chancellor to investigate the
proposition 10 furnish text books to the
students at cost. The report OF the secre-
tary was adverse TO the proposition, while
at the same time text books are furnished
to the students OF the Peru normal at
absolute cost or for a nominal rental, with
no cost whatever TO the state, resulting
in a saving to the students of that school
OF 5000 a year. The enrolment of the
university is about five times as large as

Heir to Large Estate.

Today more details regarding the
death of John Smith, whose dead body
was found yesterday morning in a
Union Pacific outfit car in the yards
here, have come to light and tend to
throw some light on the motive for
Smiths rash act, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. Only a short time before his
death Smith informed several friends
in Cheyenne that he received word
from his old home in Germany that a
relative there had died and that he
was one of the heirs to a large estate
which had been left. Smith attempted
TO secure sufficient money to purchase
a ticket to Germany, in order to Sc
cure his estate. but was unable to do
so, and it is believed that, discouraged
over the situation. he retired to his
bunk in the outfit car and swallowed
the poison which caused his death.

Perfumed Ink. oh, LlIacsl

When the thoroughly equipped soci'

be of the same hue and the latest fiat
is that her ink must be scented with
the same flower. Count Boni, husband
of Anna Gould, is credited with intro
ducing this novelty into the land of
the free. He once shocked the pro-
prietors of that famous hostelry, the
Ponce de Leon, in st. Augustine, by
sending for ink perfumed with violets.
Common ink, with its plebeian odor,
Count Boni asserted, vas impossible.

scent for ink, for, being rather strong
it retains its odor much longer.
