OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN BUILDING
SOON TO START.
KILLER G. WIERTH GET THE JOB
The Contract for Erecting Handsome
New Church Home for the st. Paul
Lutheran Congregation Has Been
Let and Work Starts Soon.
From Mondays Daily.I

From Mondays Daily.1
The contract has been let for the
new church home to be erected by
the st. Paul's Lutheran church con-
gregation just west of their present
church building. The contract was
secured by the firm of Killer & Wierth,
the contract price to be $16,370.
OF Gothic architecture and con-
structed of pressed brick and stone
the new church will provide st. Paul's
congregation with one of the finest
and most substantial church homes in
northern Nebraska. The building will
with an auditorium with seating ca
pacity of $50, steam heat and provi-
sions for gas and electricity,
The new church will cover a ground
area of about fifty to ninety feet. It's
appearance with two towers and well
adapted architecture of Gothic style
will be imposing. Following the rule
of the Lutheran church the entire in
terror of the church will be embraced
by the big auditorium.
The church auditorium will have an
inclined floor with circular seating
arrangements. The seating capacity
is increased by gallery. The church
room will have metal ceiling.
The st. Paul's Lutheran church
building, which the new structure is
to replace, was built in 1878. A neat
frame edifice, it replaced an earlier
church of logs, the pioneer of Norfolk
churches. This is the second time
then in the history Of Norfolk that the
st. Paul congregation has outgrown
the size of its church home and been
forced to set about for larger, more
substantial house of worship. The
present church building is expected tc
be utilized to obtain additional schoo
room for the parochial schools.

What is Necessary.

For Senator Allen to obtain his eli
cnts release on bail the court must
be shown that the charge of murder
against Boche can hardly be substan-
tiated, The law provides that men
charged with murder can not be re-
leased under bond when the proof is
evident or the presumption great"
man merely charged with man
slaughter is releasable on bond.
If Boche is denied his application
for bail he will have a several months
stay in the county Jail before him.

What Luxury Does.

Here are some extracts from a
speech made several years ago by DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, which to-day
are as replete with truth as they were
on the night he delivered the lecture !:
To-day we are raising pampered
sons and daughters, surrounding them
with every luxury and idle satisfaction
of desire, and they are rotten before
they are ripe"
Culture does not stand for all. You
cannot make a bad man good by Gull
ture and education, any more than
you can improve a well Of water pol
luted with typhoid germs by painting
the pump with harmonious colors.
Surround man rotten at the heart
with the most beautiful home, and he
will make it a pig-sty, while man in
a pig-sty, a man in whom honor and
cleanliness are uppermost, will white
wash that home and in year make
it beautiful"
II want to say that we all 60 to the
devil on $4,000 a year-at least
great many men 1 know are going to
the devil on that sum, and very few
are escaping it."
81 would as soon see boy sunk in
the acid of a tanning tank as pamper-
ed to death in milk and honeysuckle."

He had succeeded in getting her arms
in the sleeves and through the armholes
OF her garments. and had buttoned her
into them. Then he told her to put on
her shoes herself, and he would button
them.
He soon discovered that she was
vainly striving to put left shoe on
her right foot.
"Why, Marjory," he said, impatient.
ly, don't you know any better than
than? You are putting your shoes on
the wrong feet"
"Dey's all de foots l dot, papa" re-
piled Marjory, tearfully.
