SIMPSON CHURCH
RAISES $4,000
MEMBERS RESPOND TO CALL FOR
BUILDING FUND.
Plans Have Been Adopted for Building
Which Will Embody Every Modern
Feature Of Institutional Church-La-
dies Aid Society Makes One of Four
Largest Subscriptions. ....

Simpson Methodist Episcopal church,
S, yesterday made more than Sab
bath days Journey toward a new
church. The building committee had
figured on spending about $4,000 on a
new building, and yesterday $4,000 Of
that amount was pledged.
Soon after the Rev. Frank S. Tincher
became pastor Of the church last spring
1t was seen that a new church would
soon be necessary to take care of the
congregation, and the Institutional
work of the church. A building COM
much preliminary work has been done
in the way of working up sentiment,
and plans for the new building had been
prepared.
DR.. Forbes in Action.
The first public effort to form a build
ing fund was made at the morning SER
vice yesterday. DR.. Robert Forbes, as
sistant secretary of the Church Exten-
s. P. Long, presiding elder, and Mr..
Gilbraith of Chicago, the man who held
the first classmeeting of the society
which now forms Simpson church. Dr..
Forbes and DR.. Long did much toward
securing the gratifying number of sub
scriptions.
The plan adopted for securing sub
scriptions was termed the "building as
sociation' plan. The total cost of the
new building was divided into shares,
each share representing a payment Of
fore. having face value Of $3.50. The
Ladies' Aid society subscribed for
fifty-five shares, meaning a total pay
ment in three years Of $3.50. There
are several wealthy members Of the
society, but only three other subscrip-
tions equaled that of the Ladies' Aid,
and the next in size was only twenty
five shares. Yet 80 enthusiastic was
the congregation, and 50 general was
the response to the call for funds. that
at the morning service about $4,000
was pledged, and that was swellcd by
$4,000 at the evening service. AS is
always the case, many members wcrc
absent, and they can be depended upon
to contribute the $4,000 remaining Of
the required $4,000.
Walls of Plaster.
The new church will be constructed
of plaster exterior. The building COM
mittee investigated concrete construc-
ton and decided that such a building
would be fully as substantial and would
other material. The new building will
occupy the present location, and, in
fact, the completed new church will
really be an enlarged rebuilding Of the
old, altho the exterior will be wholly
unlike the old church, and accommodate
tions will be fully so per cent greater.
The new building will provide rooom
for everything modern church in a
growing residence neighborhood is ex-
society will have one of the most com
plete and prettiest churches, it is be-
lieved, in the city. Harry w. Jones is
the architect.

with the order for the Bedford stock,
she is detained and the train pulls out.
All these frantic efforts bring the
spectator to high pitch of excitement.
All hope appears to be gone. Then
Bedford s son, who has been absent,
appears on the scene with his automo-
bile. It is the last hope. His sister
hurriedly makes her appeal, explaining
the situation, takes her place in the
car beside her brother, and they start
the. race against fearful odds to save
their father.
The race scene is one that will warm
the blood Of the most blase, but ap-
peals particularly to the lover of stage
craft and the auto enthusiast. No de-
tail is missing. The fearful speed at
which the contestants are running is
shown by the manner in which the long
veil of Miss Bedford floats out behind,
and the other little features that COM
plete the spectacle.
Curtain after curtain is necessary,
and as the auto pulls ahead and wins
the race and saves the Bedford for
tune the spectator admits that life is
worth while when such compelling and
exciting spectacles can be seen.

The "lid' is within the reach of

the state. If the mayor of the afflicted
city cannot see his way clear to apply

Hmalfeasance in offce.' That is all
there is to the action against the mayor

having Sunday soloons, and cherish

Smith that the saloons were open on
Sunday or otherwise were violating the
law, and if he .ascertained such to be

The attorney general cites chapter
l6 Of the new code as his authority in
the St. Cloud case. Under that chap

duced to an exact formula. Citizens

the remedy at hand. F'In keeping the

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1906.

If the saloon men are wise they will
put their houses in order all over the
country and live up to the law as de-
Gently and honestly as they can. The
signs of the times everywhere point to
"a public demand for higher ideals OF
civic life, and nowhere is this more
noticeable than in the northwest
Litchfeld News-Ledger.
A ''higher ideal of civic life"
which includes the Equalization OF
the saloon is a travesty. Every
effort to reduce poverty, crime
and wretchedness finds in the
saloon it's worst foe. Why then
fortify the enemy of all civic
ideals by giving it the protection
of the law? The evils of the sa'
loon are such that the more tire
spectacle and decent such places
are made the more dangerous
they become to society.
