Dedication Of New VIrsInIa Church.

The dedication services of the New
Virginia Methodist Episcopal church,
seven miles north of Inavale, were
held last Saturday and Sunday and
were the occasion of great rejoicing in
that community. For twenty years
the people have worshipped in the
school house and. summer and winter,
have maintained Sunday school.
Two years ago they began subscrip-
tion TO build new church, and soon
had the building under way. They
were greatly delayed, however, on ac-
count of illness in the carpenters fam
lily. They finally succeeded in com
pleting the building and were ready
for dedication early in August OF last
year. Unfortunately, on the Saturday
night before the dedication the church
took fire and was totally destroyed.
This,was a great blow. as the building
was only partially insured. 1t was
with gloomy faces that the people
came back to the old school house tn,
next morning. Yet they were not
wholly discouraged, and soon had sub
scribed enough to replace the build
! ing. Thus after two weary years %
sacrifice and waiting they have as mic,
u little church as can be found any
where.
The services began on Saturday aft
crnoon when Rev. 4. V. Wilson, assist
ed by the pastor laid the corner
stone. Rev. Wilson preached shor
sermon from Phil. 3, Is. after whicl
the corner stone. containing copies o
"A number of the county papers, th'
discipline, the names of the members
the names of the trustees and name
of the donors, the Lords Prayer an,
the church papers, was placed in th
wall. This stone, beautiful granit
block, was presented by Mr.. Ed Nc
Alister of Red Cloud.
Rev. j. w. Embree of Superio
preached the dedicatory sermon Sun
day morning. taking for his text Eph
5. 81. The church was dedicated fre
of debt. There was no begging TO
subscriptions.
There were services in the afternoo d
and evening, at which former pastor
of the church presiiel. The churc
was filed to its utn o It capacity an
many were unable to gain admission
The following ministers were presen
and took part in the services: Rev

George MCCrary HAS an ExCltlna Expcr-

The following clipping is from the
San Pedro (Cal.) Daily Times, and a
marginal note says, "This is George

A good story is told on young man
recently from the East who has been
visiting friends in San Pedro the past
few weeks. One day last week he
took trip up San Gabriel to see the
country, and incidentally to get hold
Of "A few nice oranges to eat.
He walked about for portion of
the day and finally came up on the
lee side Of large orange grove where
there was no one around. Hcsitating
for "a few moments he at last walked
into the orchard where the yellow
fruit was hanging in great quantities,
and picked few to eat, strolling
along toward the other side as he did
so. When he at last emerged on the
opposite side it was with u satisfied
air and full stomach, feeling that
for once he had had all the fine oran
gcs that he wanted for nothing. As
he stepped out into the road h,
glanced back and saw something ther,
that made his heart stop beating

Lincoln, April 12.-Appropriatioa
bills of the recent legislature aggre-
eating $25O,O0O were vetoed by Gov

on state educational institutions, the
Normal school at Kearney being de-

SUNDAY SERMON.

When Judgment overlooked that for
ger the bank cashiers who knew
him said: What an awful thing
this is?" And then they deliberate
ly went to their desks and did the
same thing. Men go with wide
open eyes into the path of old I'M
quities and into the pit Of old
punishments. Within the very
shadow OF the gallows men hatch
the most detestable and alarming
crimes.
Noah and his sons looking out of
the window of the ark saw glorious
abutments of a heavenly bridge
forming in the sky. As they look
ed the mystic fingers of light swung
across the heavens-the seven
prismatic colors violet and indigo
and blue and green and yellow and
orange and red. And under. that
magnificent arch of the rainbow
they fioated up to the beach OF a
new world. No more food. Beautl-
full thought. We have something
to look at to steady our faith. 1t is
beyond our touch. We cannot spoil
it with our finger prints. 1t follows
the storm and is sign Of peace.

Good Friday and Easter at Emmanue
Church.

Good Friday shrouded in fitting
gloom, marked the elimination to
which all the Lenten days have been
pointing.
A busy day for the faithful priest,
closing the active part of the busiest
tent, the parish has ever known.
The services were: Morning
prayer and Ante Communion at
eight O'Clock, Litany and sermon at
ten, Commemoration of the three
hours agony from twelve to three,
evening prayer and sermon at half
past seven. The services were fair
ly well attended, although as usual
there were many to watch one hour;
few for the whole time.
Sermons and meditations need no
compliment other than the close at
tention with which they we're list
ened to.
yesterday was bright and beautis
full, though cold.
The altar was made glorious with
two superb bouquets OfEaster lilies
white linen, pure and fair" and
fair" and tall candles. A cross of
smilax on the frontal gave the only
touch of color.
A vase filled with beautiful
jonquils, occupied lower place, on
the organ. Three celebrations gave
all the faithful chance to know
Him IN the Breaking of the Bread"
The last was ushered in by the
hymn: He sis risen, He is risen;
tell it out with joyful voice, follow
ed by the Easter anthem. The
music was beautiful and inspiring.
Other hymns were the old favor
ties: Christ The Lord is risen D.
day." and Jesus Christ is risen to-
day" with 1.-The day of resurrec-
ton" as occasional.
The excellent sermon was from
the text who shall roll us away
the stone from the door of the
sepulchre;" and commenced with a
graceful tribute to ministering
women in general; which was most
fitting IN this parish, in whose life
women have always born so large a
part.

Mail Order Tough Game.

W. G. Schab, who is prospecting
as merchant at Butte, Montana
sends us the following article which
appeared in the Montana Record;
One of the best things that has
been put in black and white, deal
ing with the eastern mail order
house, is contained in letter re-
ceived few days ago by Deputy
Secretary of State F. B. Linderman
from J. B. Monroe, an old friend,
and now a resident of Teton county.
Mr.. Monroe is Familiarity known as
Jack" and is an old trapper, cow
boy and scout. Mr.. Linderman has
known him a long time, having
ridden the range with him. He
SAID to-day that Monroe was one OF
the brightest men he had ever met.
The letter is typical one and
the expressions in it will be enjoyed
by every old. timer who reads it.
Mr.. Monroe sent it to Mr.. Under
man, not with the idea that 1t be
published, but just to illustrate how
he felt he had been done by the
mail order concern. A copy of il
follows:

GLORIOUS TEXAS.

independence than any other place
on earth and under conditions that
make life worth living.
The Wisconsion delegation in our
party took we'll to Texas and the
natives we met with down there
stated that our bunch was the best
that had yet arrived. Mr.. Russell
showed and described a score or
more of sections of land and made
nearly as many sales.
Four members of the Lancaster
party, Messrs. John S. Wright, Geo.

James Scullon, secured an in
proved section at S24 per acre, and
a good one two. Well tell more
about it later. Chas. Knapp is CO.

in June. Atty. w. E. Howe of Bos-
cobel purchased a section and a
half and his son Ted will 60 down
there to liYe. The Cooley brothers
of Mt. Hope and Geo. Bartholomew

posed of half of it. More will be

TALK ABOUT CAPITOL.
Gossip Relative to Work and Pend
ing Measures in the Legislature.

Senator Randolph will ask for a
hearing on his bill for division OF
the railway taxes Of the state among
the counties of the state, lmmedl-
ately after the Easter recess is con-
cluded. This bill of Senator Ran
dolph's in no way increases the rail
way taxes of the state, but 1t simply
provides that the present proceeds
from the railroad taxation shall be
returned by the state to the coun-
ties in which railroad property
exists, according to the proportion
of the value of the taxable property
in the state. Only 25 per cent OF
the gross railway taxes collected by
the state are to be retained by the
state if this bill becomes a law, and
rs per cent of it goes back TO the
county. This law would of course,
if adopted, necessltate direct state
tax each year, as the money now
received from the railroad taxes is
used to meet the state expenditures.
On account of the immense amount
of bookkeeping, which the enact
ment of the Randolph bill into a
law would entail, state officials are
In general against the measure, as
it would mean not only the account
ing necessary to return the propors
tionate taxes to each county, but
also an accounting each year on the
direct tax which would have to be
levied to raise the funds necessary
to carry on the state. 1t is under
stood the state tax commission also
does not look with very favorable
eyes on the Randolph bill, but be-
lieves that the railway taxes would
best remain intact in the state
treasury.
Ii looks very much as if this legls-
lature would pass bill rendering
telegraph companies liable for
mental anguish for the mis-sending
or failure to deliver messages. The
subcommittee of the transportation
committees which has been ap-
pointed to draft substitute bill on
this subject has the bill about ready
for the floor, and 1t is understood
that the substitute will be reported
back for passage in the assembly in
the very near future. Although
there will be a floor fight on this
measure in both houses. indications
seem to be that the bill will finally
become law.

Deer hunters who wish TO see the
deer preserved in the state consider
that great victory has been scored
in the securing from the JOINT COM
mittee on fish and game and the pas
sage by the assembly of bill limit
ing the open season for deer TO five
days and reducing the number OF
deer which a hunter can carry out
of the woods with him from two to
one. When this bill was pending
before the joint committee on fish
and game, very strong statements
were made by the friends of the bill
as to the great slaughter which is
now going on annually in the north
ern woods of Wisconsin deer. 1t Is
claimed that Wisconsin is visited by
more. outside hunters than any OF
her sister states, and at the present
time more deer are slaughtered il
Wisconsin than in Michigan and
Minnesota together There seems
TO be disposition also on the part
of the fish and game committee K
pass all the proposed measures tC
prevent the killing of deer in cOun
ties which ask that such bills b
adopted.
