DOUGLAS SOCIETY.

The Presbyterian church on the cor
 ner of Tenth and D. is assuming defi-
 nite proportions, and it is hoped that
 before long it will be ready for occu-
 pancy. Great interest is being mani tested in the erection of the church, especially by the congregation. Some
 one has said that he feels the lack of the church bell in Douglas, which is quite true If one stops to consider the | matter What splendid opportunity there is for chruches, with churches all so close together. We could have the bells all in harmony, and when
 rung they would give forth the beauti-
 ful tones of the chimes. It may be a very old fashioned idea, but the sug-
 gestion of a bell calls to mind the beautiful and sacred Puritan worship, and if we are not greatly mistaken, any number of people would be re- minded of services which they are
 so prone to forget.
 We had no notion when we prophe-
 sled such a complete victory for our l boys of basket ball fame that they were going to meet a team with four
 men who had lots of college train ing at that game. Any one who wit messed the game will feel free to ad-
 init that the Douglas boys were sim ply outclassed. They realized that
 they have a vast amount to learn in regard to the game, and that Bisbee can teach them, too. We are not ad- hitting that our boys can't play, nor even suggesting such a thing, for be- fore another week they intend to car " of the honors with Bisbee in at least one game. Two teams left Douglas this afternoon for Bisbee, and
 will engage in a contest up there to- night. They left feeling confident of at least one victory, and we are in hopes they may swell the number un- til it reaches twice. It proved a rare treat for those who were privileged to see the game. The idea of selling seats in the balcony met with decided approval, to say nothing of the en- thusiasts who occupied those seats.
 The many friends of Dr. Wright re- ceive from time to time pleasant mes sages concerning his delightful trip abroad. In a recent note to friend he spoke of an interesting and attrac- tive time in Athens. Dr. Wright has been absent from Douglas since last July. and during that time has made a complete tour of Europe, taking in everything of interest. It is not known
 just when he will return to this coun- try.
