Box 12, situated at the corner of Main and Olivia streets, was rung in shortly after 030 o'clock this evening and the fremen responded quickly. The blaze was situated in the japan room of the Sterling Pin Co.,. and was put out before the firemen arrived. The damage done was very slight This IS the first time in almost two months that the firemen were called out, the last one being on the morning of June l6, when Jacks lunch room on Main street was burned to the ground.
 The overheatng of one of the japan pots, causing the mixture to explode is said to be the cause of the blaze. The Italian in charge was burned seri- ously about the head and body and as no one was near at the time and as he could not tell the reason of the eX- plosion the cause remains unsolved.

BRINGING IN THE SHEAvES.
Twenty Conversions Last Sunday at the
Christian Church.

Twenty declarations of intention
to become citizens Of the kingdom
was the record of the second Sun
day of the revival services at the
Christian church. The evangelists
have labored hard and are begin
ming to see the fruits Of their labor,
already amounting to over forty
conversions, with the meetings gain
ing in power.
THE GAZETTE is glad to chronicle
the success of these meetings, but
cannot restrain the suggestion that
they would gain something if COM
municants from the neighboring
churches were not inslstently re-
minded that coming to Christ meant
coming by a prescribed way of adj
ministering the rite of baptism.
The writer has never made study
Of theology, but has always thought
that the Christian cause has lost
much by the hair splitting disputes
over forms since apostolic times.
1.-The letter killeth, the spirit giveth
life," is proposition we take a
whole lot Of stock in. A revival IN
which all of the churches take COM
mon ground is the kind that leaves
the largest impress on community.
And this plain speaking is not in
dulged in with any thought Of dis
paraging the sincerity of the evan
gelists. They are bound to preach
those things they think are vital.
i We are willing to concede that inn
mersion was probably the form OF
baptism of New Testament times.
The subjects for this week are as
follows:
Tuesday Gods Question, Mans
Answer"
/ Wednesday Why | Stand Iden'
| titled With the Church OF Christ
! and Why Ask Others to Take the
Same Stand"
| Thursday Sowing and Reap

i Friday What Would Christ Heal

| Saturday Repentance. "

MILITIA COMPANY HERE.
Adjutant General Authorizes M. W.
Hingeley to Muster in Company.

The project to organize militia
company in this city, as soon as
authority for the same could be
obtained from the Adjutant Cen
eral, was agitated nearly a year ago.
but at that time was deferred on
account of other matters of import
ance. On Wednesday evening OF
last week the matter was brought
up at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil by Messrs. Hingeley and Dollltf.
whose request for the privilege OF
using the council room as drill
hall and assembly room was prompt
ly granted. Mr.. Hingeley received
notice the first of the week that
mustering-in forms for enlistment
would be sent him from the
Adiutant Generals Office. at an
early date. The minimum require
ment as to numbers for a new COM
pany is only Sc, and there will prob
ably be little difficulty in enlisting
that number of desirable young
men here. The expense will not be
large, when we consider that the
state pays the main items of cost, in
GLIDING the annual summer assem-
bly, for drill at Lake City or other
suitable points, which constitutes a
strong inducement to the volunteers.
A canvass is contemplated soon.

Encouraging Signs Of the Times.

1.-THE Signs of the Tines was the
subject Of the morning sermon at
the Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning, and Mr.. Chambers mar
shalled an array Of facts in connec-
ton with up-to-date movements
along worldwide missionary lines to
open the eyes of those of his audi
ence who had given the subject no
special study. The practical advance
made in the inter-denom inational mis-
sionary work in China, India, Persia
and Japan has taken on epoch maxi
ing proportions amounting to new
civilization in those countries, while
in our own country the laymen and
brotherhood work is making the
Christian religion count for much in
the way of bringing about fra
ternal bond for uniting all the di-
visions Of the Christian host. The
sermon as a whole was optimistic
and inspiring, on a solid basis OF
actual achievement.
