CITY DADS IN SESSION
Large Budget of Business Well
Taken Care Of.

The city lawmakers were in evil
dence at the regular session last
Tuesday evening, everyone being
present and full of business. There
was no time lost and the session
held until after the witching hour.
Minutes of last meeting read and
approved as read, which caused our
genial friend Dobie, recorder pro
TEN of that meeting, sigh of re-
lief. The first thing on the program
was a petition of the citizens along
Gilbert street asking that said street
be improved from Fesscnden street
to st. Johns avenue, signed by l..
NJ. Eastman ct al, which was ac-
cepted OH motion of Alderman Ra-
ser and referred to the street COM
mittee by the mayor. Application
of l.. Richards for renewal of liquor
license was received and referred to
committee on liquor licenses. Claim
of Acme Lumber company against
the city with petition for issue of
warrants to cover a certain number
which were stolen in burglary
committed about year ago, accom-
panied by a bond in the sum of
80 900 to indemnify the city against
any loss which might possibly occur
by this issue of the warrants. The
amount covered by the stolen war
rants is ~ ,oS3.ti. The matter was
referred to the committee OIL finance
with power to act, there being some
changes necessary in the bond.
Communications were next in or
der, the first of which was from the
Norris Lock * Safe company bear
ing specifications of four cells for
the new Jail in the city hall build
ing aud the price of same, Sio65.
There were others giving practically
the same specifications except as to
the material from which they were
constructed, the prices in other i'll
stances being S555 and s59S. In
the first instance the cells were to
be constructed OF Bessemer steel; in
the latter the material was either
not stated OF was of wrought iron,
which probably explains the differ
ence in the prices. On motion OF
Alderman King the matter, with
the bids, was referred TO the build.
ing committee with power TO make
the purchase. Aldermen Lindquis,
and Dobie voted no, all others yes.
Communications from Architect

to balance claimed due to Engineer

CURE FOR DIVORCE.
By Rev. Frank G. Brune1

BY Rev. Frank 9. Bruner.
There may be true basis for d.
vorce. 1t belongs to disloyal wedlock.
The whole trend of Bible teaching is
for its prohibition. The loyal purity
Of domestic ties will forever uprcot
such transactions as divorce cases.
Our courts are crowded with thous-
ands of divorce cases. God has built
all things in harmony. 1t Is a mixing
of discord into natures wedlock con-
dition that kills the flowers in the field
of divine harmony. Courtship Is a
great school. Without being a good
student of conditions for proper we'd
lock the suitor Is sure to bring future
wreckage and ruin to the household
God through His economy has a law of
selection which is harmony that never
makes mistake, hence human beings
following this law will make no mis-
Of wedlock is divine.
Another cure for divorce Is a law to
prohibit the marriage of unhealthy per-
sons or those in any way having
tendency to insanity.
Antipathy against babyhood Is an
other cause Of divorce. People form
matrimonial relations, furnish a house
elegantly. have large bank account.
the husband and wife pet each other,
fondle other peoples children, nurse
themselves into dissatisfaction, grow
restless and wonder what Is the mat

and religious, seek to be widely accom-
plished and after awhile begin to pick
at each other. The faults In the esti-
nation Of each other grow into huge
proportions. Then they grow suspi-
clous of each other and begin to think
about divorce. Solve the child prob
lem In the case and the wreckage Of
home society and character produced
by divorce is greatly diminished.

How much do we almost continually
hear about the church, And yet how
few know what the term means A
more ambiguous word than this, "the
church," is scarce to be found in the
English language. 1t is sometimes
taken for building, set apart for pub
lie worship; sometimes for a congre-
CATION, or a body of people, united
together In the service of God.
Can anything be more absurd than
for men to cry out, The church, The
church! And pretend to be very zeal
GUS for it and violent defenders of it,
while they themselves have neither
part nor lot therein; nor indeed know
what the church Is And yet the hand
Of God Is in this very thing Imagin-
lining that they are members them
selves, the men of the world frequently
defend the church; otherwise the
wolves that surround the little flock
on every side would in a short time
tear them to pieces. In the meantime
let all those who are real members OF
the church see that they walk holy and
unblamable in all things "Ye are the
light Of the world !" Ye are "a city
set upon hill" and cannot be hid"
oh, "let your light shine before men I"
Show them your faith by your works.
Let them see by the whole temper Of
your conversation that your hope Is all
laid up abovel Let all your words and
actions evidence the Spirit whereby
you are animated Above all things,
let your love abound. BY this let all
men know whose disciples We are, be-
cause you "love one another"
