GETS A ''CYM."
Washburn to Have One at Cost
of $780, 900.
President PIasS Makes An
nouncement This Morning.
JUST LIKE A PRIZE.
Will BE Given as Soon as En-
doWment Is Secured.
Great JOY Among Students Fol-
lows the News.
JUST LIKE A PRIZE.

Washburn college is to have a new
gymnasium, at a cost of $4,000. This is
the announcement made today at chapel
by President Norman Plass. The name
of the donor of the gymnasium is a Sc
cret, but it is not the same man who
gave the observatory.
The $4,000 gymnasium is hung up as
an additional prize for the raising of
$4,000 more for the endowment fund.
The original proposition was for the
college to raise $685. prior to July /.
1907. in order to secure an offer of $25,-
0GO. made by the general education
board of New York. OF this 1925. 900.
$4,000 was raised in cash by DR.. Plass
while in the east. This left s95, 900 to be
raised when DR.. PlaSs reached home
and raised before July 1. 1907.
This morning DR.. Plass made this
statement in chapel:
L will say further that $4,000 has
been pledged in the city of Topeka to-
ward that $95 900 within the past few
days. and this without any work on my
part"
This leaves $50. 900 to be raised before
July I. at which time it will get the $35.-
600 gymnasium, and also the $4,000 cash
offered by the general education board
of New York
This whole $4,000 must be for encow-
ment. Money for new buildings doesn't
count.
All this must be done as part Of the
preliminary work toward the securing
Of the $50. 900 Carnegie donation. The
Carnegie donation will be taken up after
July / In order to get the Carnegie
$4,000, Washburn must hustle together
another $4,000 to put with 1t. Nut that
can be done after July 1. anS prior to
January l. 1908.
President Plass Is not worrying about
the Carnegie donation. He says If he
can raise the $4,000 to secure the New
York offer and the $4,000 gymnasium,
he Will not have much trouble with rails
ing the additional $4,000.
a gymnasium is one of the things
which Washburn has needed badly for
many years, and the announcement that
one is in sight has filed the students
Of the college with great joy. There is
no doubt that the additional prize"
will further stimulate the raising of the
$50. 600.
About 1898, the Washburn students
raised a fund of S7OO. and with 1t pur-
chased a considerable. quantity Of gym
nasium equipment which was installed
in the old chapel room in Rice hall.
The room, however, was not large

LIMIT ON PAVING.
Only Sixteen Blocks May Be Put Down
Next Year.

Not to exceed sixteen blocks of paw
ing will be done next year under a
resolution prepared by Councilman F.
z. Nipps which will be presented in
the council this evening. The resolu-
ton is far reaching and will entirely
change the methods that have been
followed in conducting paving opera
lions by the city in the past
A regular policy of action is out
lined instead of an indiscriminate par
ceiling out of block after block of pave
ment.
The city will pay off $51,186 worth
of paving bonds next year. Each year
the city pays off one-tenth of the prin-
cipal, the interest being reduced in
proportion.
Under the plan which Councilman
Nipps asks the council to pass this
evening the total amount which the
city would expend next year for paw
ing would be $51,1S6, or exactly equiv
alent to the amount of the paving
bonds retired.
AS one block of paving costs about
$4,000 based on the prices of material
and labor which ruled this year, the
city could pave about sixteen blocks
of pavement.
The policy is outlined in the resolu-
ton which follows and is self explana-
tory:
Whereas, 1t is the judgment of the
mayor and council. that the city's in
terest viii be best subserved by limiting

the equipment fell into disuse. After
that the gymnasium was closed for 0
number Of years, and Their the apparatus
ed into museum, for which ii is well
adapted. When Washburn gets its
gymna SUM, it will have a fairly good
stock Of apparatus ready for it. The
proposed gymnasium building will also
AFFORD a place for the athletes to take
baths, and a place for the college bas-
ketban games.
Track athletics IS also taking quite q
development Of track athletes, a gym
nasium is almost essential.
This whole movement is part Of the
general scheme to raise 81, 600. 600 for
Washburn in ten years. which was un-
dertaken by DR.. Plass a year and a
half ago. The plan was to devote one
half of the sum to endowment, and
one-haf to equipment.
During the first year Sis, 900 was
pledged, of which a little more than
$50, 200 was for endowment The sec
onC year began with a conditional gift
made in June by the general educa-
ton board of New York city of $25,-
geo. provided the college raised $751;
600 for endowment by July /, 1907,
and reached that date free from all in
debtedness- This means the raising of
) 1000 by next July, and Will add
$l5O, 900 to the endowment since the
million dollar fund was inaugurated.
Mr.. Carnegie offers to give $4,000
whenever the amount obtained for en-
dowment reaches $500. 900. provided
that is accomplished not later than
January 1. 1908. This will make it
necessary to raise $4,000 additional
between July I, 1907, and the date as
signed.
If these two additional gifts can be
met it Will result in adding s36S, 600 to
the funds of the college in the first two
and If dn1
lar effort. and besides the college will
get a $4,000 gymnasium.

For several years the Omaha Womsn'a
club has used the auditorium and class
rooms as club rooms and these are con-
tinually in demand for lectures. public re-
ceptions and like things.

MrG. Squires, with Mr.. Nat Brigham and

congregation had just moved into the au-

adjoining were filled to the utmost and
on several occasions when special popular
subjects had been announced. people were

pared for a. beginning by Governor o.
d. Richardson for four years lieutenant
governor Of Michigan; DR.. George L. MIL
Ter, then a practicing physician in Omaha
and Rev. George G.. Rice pastor of the
Congregational church in Council Bluffs.
Governor Richardson had come to town in
1854 and was an earnest Congregationalist.
It was Rev. George Rice who preached the
first Congregational sermon in Nebraska,
and the story Of this sermon. together with
much interesting information. is best told
by this venerable and venerated clergyman
himself. who still lives in Council Bluffs,
in the following letter to the compilers OF
a history of the church in Nebraska, and
which settles several disputed points:
"Dr. d. B. Cole, secretary of the Ameri-
can Home Missionary society, wrote me in
July, 1854. requesting that keep the So
ciety informed regarding the settlement
and needs Of Nebraska August re-
piled: The Indians have not yet been
removed to their reservation, and until
that time the territory will not be open
to settlement. The agent is Fastening the
removal OF the Indians and the territory
will likely be open to settlers in & few
days. September 10 l wrote again: The
Indians have been removed and there is
brisk movement into the territory. Omaha,
just across the river from Council Bluffs,
is to be the capital of the territory. A
steam ferryboat is conveying materials
across the river for the capitol building,
which is already under way. Omaha should
have minister as soon as a suitable man
can be found, for. being the capital. II
will build up rapidly. Another man should
be sent to the territory as general mis-
sionary.
About this time I secured two lots-a
gift from the Omaha Land company-for a
Congregational church. When the church
was built one of the lots was sold for
500 and the money used in building. The
latter part OF January l spent a Sabbath
in Omaha and preached morning and even
ing in the legislative hall. and Monday
morning I oficiated as chaplain in the

the territory was organized. There were
a few Congregationalists in Omaha at that
time with whom l was frequently in con-
ference, trying to aid them in securing a
minister. In September, 1856, Reuben Gay

teenth street about ninety-fve feet north
of Farnam street. 1t had a seating ca
pacity of 225 and was the source OF much
pride to the townspeople In general. In
1870. at the beginning of Dr. Sherrilrs pas
torate, a new church was erected at
Nineteenth and Chicago streets. This was
OF frame and much more modern in its
equipment. This building cost $4,000 and
seated on the floor and in the gallery about
600. The congregation removed to this
building in 1871, but in 1887 this building
was sold and torn down, the congregation
moving to the chapel OF the present church
at Nineteenth and Davenport streets, which
was completed and dedicated in 1855 at a
cost Of $4,000. DR.. Duryea and DR.. Frank
Gunsaulus of Chicago offciated at the dedi-
cation. For some time previous to this,
however, services had been held in the
chapel adjoining the church auditorium.
The present church has a seating capacity
of $50 in its auditorium and 300 in the lee

rooms there are parlors and class rooms

Coming Of Reuben Gaylord.

1t was in 1866 that Reuben Gaylord, a
graduate Of Yale college in the class Of
1884, for seventeen years Missionary in
Iowa and one Of the first trust cs of the
Iowa State college, was sent T. aaha by
the American Home Mission Uciety to
begin his labors at the munihcent salary OF
5000 year. Undaunted by discouragements
and physical hardships such as only the
pioneer missionary can know, he laid the
foundation for the Congregational church
in Nebraska During the winter of 1856
he preached in the assembly room of the
territorial legislature. and May of the
following year the Congregational church
was organized with the following men,
bers: Governor and Mrs. o.. D. Richard
son. Mr.. and Mrs. B. H Chapman, James
w. Seymour, Mrs. Allen, Miss Sara Gay
lord and Rev. and Mrs. Reuben Gaylord.
1t was to Reuben Gaylord that DR..
George l. Miller referred as that brave
Christian soldier who brought Sunday into
Omaha and the transmissouri country"
Dr. Miller was one of the first trustees
of the church and a valued worker and he
tells the following incident in the early
work OF Rev. Gaylord Passing the i'm
provised chapel one morning he heard a
mans voice raised in prayer. Looking
in he saw Rev. Gaylord on his knees pray
ing that the Lord would send him an
audience.
