Sioux City, Ia, were opened last Fri
day evening to we'll filled church,
and the first impressions Of DR..
Mahood's methods have been wholly
favorable. His opening sermon was
from the text, Where there is no
vision the people perish" and the
evangelist enforced the need Of in
ward light in the soul of every indi-
vidual in order to bring out the best
that is in that person. His fund of
illustration and anecdote is mex
haustible and all help to the better
understanding of the truth he
would enforce.
Speaking broadly, the aim of DR..
Mahood thus far has been to enforce
the necessity of individual work on
the part of every so-called Christian
and minimize the value of empty
church membership unsupported by
the Christian spirit on the part OF
the members Of our churches. espe-
cially when accompanied by dispo-
sition to be Indifferent to the spirit

ABILENE is PROUD OF IT.
Steam Laundry Has High Standing
for Fine Work.

| No enterprise of Abilene is deserv-
ing Of more praise than the Abilene
Steam Laundry which reaches out into
the surrounding country with record
Of good work well and promptly done.
The past year has been one OF the
most successful in its history and the
growth Of the business has been am
ply warranted. The people in and
around Abilene patronize the Abilene
Steam Laundry because only first
class work is done. Sand Springs
water and the latest improved ma
chinery and methods give service
that is equal to any in the west. 1t
is a home Institution which should
receive the support Of the people OF
Abilene and Dickinson county.
Home industry has not received the
patronage in the past which 1t de-
serves and the home people should
always recognize an institution
which is a benefit to the community.
MIR. Goodwin is deserving Of the
patronage Of the people Of Abilene.
Only ;wOrkmen who are masters OF
their trade are employed and they
can always be depended upon to do
the best kind OF work. The service
given to the patrons is the best and
this helps to build up the large trade.
Telephone calls are always answered
promptly and quickly and patrons
who use the phone always get most
courteous treatment. Everyone is
invited to visit the laundry and in
spect the machinery and methods.
J.R. Goodwin, who owns and man
ages the laundry, is thorough bust
nessman and will do other peoples
work as we'll as he does his own. This
is sure to win patronage and means
great deal in the laundry business.
He has developed the business from a
small start and has built up the es-
adjustment to large and we'll or
ganized institution employing a big
force Of workmen. The shipment Of
clothes from other towns has In
creased largely within the past year
and the success in handling this big
business is highly creditable. The
laundry is recognized as one Of the
towns leading institutions and it well
deserves the title.

GAMBLING LAW TEST Is ON
Twenty-Five Indictments Returned in
New York on Charges of
BOokmaking.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Indictments, which
IL sustained on trial. may send twenty
two men charged with bookmaking to
Jail for one year each, were reported by
the Kings county grand jury today, under
the recently enacted anti-betting laws,
The indictments followed an inquiry ex
tending over several days and marked the
elimination of the enforcement measures
adopted by the Kings county authorities
Immediately after the passage of the Law
at a special session Of the Legislature.
which has been convened by Governor
Hughes after the bills failed of passage
at the regular session. Under the Law,
which makes the offense charged in the
indictments a misdomeanor only. a prison
sentence can be imposed upon conviction.
1t is not likely that in event of one or
more convictions on the indictments at
least one case will be carried to the highest
court on appeal for the purpose of testing
the constitutionality OF the law. II this Is
done, the chief contention OF counsel for
the respondent is expected to be based upon
the severity of the penalty provided, They
will take the ground that the punishment is
so excessive as to stamp the whole law as
contrary to the constitution.
That news of the indictments became
known before they had been reported to
the court, became apparent when IT was
found that every one of the twenty-five
! men named by the grand jury was present
in court when the Jury's report was
adopted. They were accompanied by
counsel and all expressed a desire to enter
pleas to the indictment at once. Pleas Of
not guilty were accepted and Judge Drike
paroled all the men in the custody OF their
counsel until later in the day, when they
will be called on to furnish hail In tho Sun,
of $500 each.
