NOTABLE CHURCH
ASSEMbLAGE

The d~edicatory service at the Pres
byterian church, Sunday night was
largely attended, the members of the
local Masonic lodges turning out in
a body, while the congregations of
the different churches were well
represented.
The d%edicatory sermon was preach
ed by the Rev. S.. H. Jones, superin-
tendent of church construction in
Nevada, who made a masterful pres
entation of the claims of the gospel,
and the i~nviolability of the Bible,
which has stood the test of rigid criti-
cism and the attacks of infidelism
throughout the centuries, and which
is still a book pre-eminently above
all others. Rev. F. H. Robinson,
Sunday school missionary for Ne
vada, who blazed the way for the
Presbyterian church in the Ely Dis
trict, made a few we'll chosen re-
marks, and also offered the dedica-
tory prayer. Rev. B. M. Charlton,
pastor of the Ely Methodist church,
and Rev. J. r. Barr, of the East Ely
church, took part in the exercises.
With a few appropriate words, Capt.
Carpenter, chairman of the building
committee, turned over the keys of
the building to A. E. Heartwell, rep
resenting the custodians of the
church property.
The service vas i~nterspersed with
the singing of stirring old hymns,
while solos were rendered by Mrs.
E. L. R. Wallace and j. A. Malta,
with Mrs. A. Vatican, organist. The
meeting was inspiring, and the event
a noteworthy one, in the history of
local church circles.

ENDURANCE
Why 1t Is on Is a Mystery, but Is on
just the Same.

A duel to the death between a
piano and a piano player started at 8
o'clock Sunday morning at the Ely
theater. The moon was in eclipse
the morning before and the manipu-
lator of the worries expects to be in
the same fix in SO or 60 hours. 1t is
to be a continuous performance, the
piano pounding, but there seems to
be no reason for it. The programs
give no excuse. Perhaps it is the
only work the man can get to do.
He expects to hold out until some
time tonight.
Once upon a time there was a cir
Gus, and as is the case in all well
ordained and governed circuses,
there was a spieler attached to the
canvas city. This spieler was an
Irishman; at least he was born of
Irish parents, for no man could have
possessed the delicate wit, the de-
licious humor, the exquisite blair
ney, and hold his job without some
Celtic blood throbbing in his veins.
He had the savoir faire of the boule-
Warbler, and the savvy-for-fair of the
bully fighter.

beginning of the daily and nightly
discourse of this Chesterfield of the
canvas town; and then he continued
in this wise: walk right up and

relatives.
A man of the highest probity and
genial in temperament the death of
Mr.. Nix has caused widespread re-
greet among friends in his home city
where he was unanimously esteem

George M. Nix was born in Du-
buque county, August 27, 1S49, and
