AN ELOQUENT YOUNG MAN

One of the most eloquent and pow
erful sermons heard in the city in
months was delivered last evening at
the Congregational church by Rev.
w. L. Dibble, pastor of the Cove
nant Congregational church of Chi
cago, who is the guest of friends in
the city. He took for his theme,
"The Bitter Waters, or Gods Deal
ings with Man" From the story of
the turning of the pool of bitter wat
ers into sweet waters by the placing
in the pool of a tree at the command
of God one of the incidents of the
journey of the children of Israel
through the wilderness. Rev. Dib-
BILE drew a practical and convincing
lesson and brought forth a series of
thoughts and facts that could not
fail to leave a deep impression upon
all those who heard the splendid dis
course. Rev. Dibble is young min
lister of magnificent qualifications.
a polished and pleasing speaker. a
true thinker and withal an earnest
young man. His sermon was apprec-
lated and enjoyed. Rev. Dibble has
a large acquaintance among the for
mer South Dakota people in the val
ley and his brief visit here is prov
ing a most delightful one.

old pioneers of western Colorado,
died at the home of his son, Grant
Hafer. at GIG West Ute avenue, af-
ter a long illness. The natural in

syth conducted the services. The in
terment was at Orchard Mesa Genet
cry in charge of Undertaken Gour-

A. NJ. Hafer came to Colorado
about thirty years ago and the Hafer
ranch in the Dallas country was one
of the best known in the western por-
ton of the state for many years. AT
one time the deceased was very veal

PETITIONS WE'RE CIRCULATED

Yesterday in nearly all of the lead
ing churches of the city petitions adj
dressed 10 the city council and To he
presented ON tomorrow night were
circulated among the congregations
or placed at the entrance. so all that
wished TO do so might sign.
This petition urges the city coun-
ell TO pass in its original form and
with every provision unchanged the
ordinance introduced some time ago
by Alderman Plank regulating the
pool rooms and billiard halls of this
city providing that they shall close
each night at midnight and remain
closed all day Sunday, fixing n license
ON each table and prohibiting minors
from frequcnting the places.
Owing to the opposition TO the or
dinance raised by the pool and bill
liardroom owners and their friends
and efforts to have il amended, those
in favor of the ordinance started these
petitions.
Hundreds of names were attached
TO the petitions yesterday and many
more today.
From all indications the great ma
iority of the citizens favor the pas
sage of the ordinance in its original
form. and to be effective at once.

THE ELECTION TODAY

Not a great deal of interest has
been manifested today in the school
bond election. The polls were open
this afternoon between the hours of
two o'clock and five O'Clock at the
Lowell school building
This afternoon the interest became
quite lively and it is evident that sew
eral hundred votes will be polled.
There is no doubt but that the two
propositions. one to issue $4,000 in
bonds for the erection of a new build
ing and the other for the issuance
of $1,000 in bonds for the purchase
a high school building site. will car
ry There seems to be but little oppo-
sition to the bond issues.

matter ten days, giving them until

the Commission represented to Acting
Governor Atkinson that everything

the Spreckels interest, and that maps,
etc, were then on the way to San

six days more in which to file it's re-
port.
AS Atkinson was then going away
with the Congressional party, he eX-
tended the time two weeks, giving
them up to May % in which to report.
But no report has yet been made,
and, as stated above, it is understood
that serious obstacles have been Ell
countered The Acting Governor has,
therefore, called for an immediate re-
port The Commission consists of L.
