STEAM LAUNDRY BURNS
A. ROESLER'S FACTORY BUILD
ING GOES UP IN SMOKE
LOSS Sc, ,OOO-- INSURANCE 81, 500
Building All In Flames When Alarm
is Given.-Two Other Fires
this Week

The Ladysmith Steam Laundry,
large two-story frame building, owned
and occupied by Alderman Adolph
Roesler, just west of tho High School
building, was burned to the ground
about o'clock Monday morning. The
loss on the building and machinery is
estimaned by Mr.. Roesler at about
$4,000, with only $2500 insurance. An
other policy of $1,000 had been cancelled
by the company short time ago, with
out his being notified and he may be
able to realize something on it. The
laundry machinery, which was quite
complete, is entirely ruined, with the
possible exception of the boiler.
This building was erected by Mr.
Roesler two years ago, the second
story being equipped for Shirt Fact
ory, which however was in operation
a short time. The laundry has been
run intermittently since by different
parties, Mr.. Roesler taking charge of
it himself couple of months ago.
How the fire originated is unknown.
A fire was built in the boiler Sunday
forenoon to keep the pipes from freez-
ing, and Mr.. Roesler visited the build
ing and banked the fire about S o'clock
in the afternoon. The blaze was dis
covered by Keith Beam, boy who has
been driving the laundry wagon, and
who was watching locomotive at the
coalng station which had tied up here
over night He ran to the building
and tried to break in to get out the
books, but failed, and then ran to the
pumping station and aroused Mrs. Holt.
who blew the whistle. During all this
time the fire was gaining headway, and
by the time the firemen arrived the
whole building was in flames, and moth
ing could be done but protect surround
ing buildings, which were in danger.
Mr.. Roesler has not decided yet
whether he will rebuild. This exper-
ience again shows the necessity of an
automatic alarm system, which could
be installed at small expense. with a.
larm boxes located in different parts
of the city. Our fire protection other
wise is quite efficient, but too much
time is wasted in giving alarm.

Of the numerous hunting accidents
reported from different parts of the

and Brasaw went in one direction and
the other two in another. After
time Brasaw saw an object which he
took for deer passing beneath some
hemlock boughs, which were covered
with snow. He told Chickering to
shoot, and was about to take a shot
himself when the fatal shot was fired.
The bullet struck Romhill in the head
killing him instantly. Quarters was
near him when he fell. The accident
happened aboun IL miles north of Haw-
kins, meas where the same party had

MEETINGS TO CLOSE
ROMIG TO GIVE
FAREWELL SUNDAY NIGHT
NlNETY-NINE CONVERTS TO DATE
Some Things the Evangelist Has
Said During His Ten Weeks
Revival

Evangelistic services continue in the
Church of Christ with good interest
and results. For ten weeks, evangelist
Romig has bombarded the strongholds
of sin in our city, and good audiences
have greeted him all of this the tenth
week.
There have been ninety nine converts
to date; seventy-two of this number
have been baptized during the meeting
and thirteen had previously been i'm
mersed.
1t is probable that Mr.. Romig's last
sermon to the public of Ladysmith will
be given in the opera house on Sunday
evening. Special services for the mem
bers of the Church and converts during
the meetings will be held in the church
on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Evangelist j. A. L. Romig has spoken
in the city every night for two months
and many who have not heard him at
all times are wondering what he has
said. A News Budget representative
has interviewed some reliable parties
who know and they say that the evange-
list has never said that those will be
lost who are not immersed, but has
said there should be one baptism and
the baptism that all churches believe
in would be common ground for
union and if all would accept what all
believe in, it would tend toward max
ing a union of churches, thus causing
religious work to be more effective.
In his sermon on the pre-eminence of
Christ he took the text from Colloss-
ians 1:18, "He is the head of the body,
the church: who is the beginning, the
first born from the dead; thatin all
things he might have the pre-eminence. !"
The pre-. eminence of Christ cannot be
realized without great conflict. After
the temptation in which Satan prom
ised Christ all the kingdoms of the
world if he would worship him, the
two great leaders retired to their re-
spective positions and are directing
their forces that are now in the great
est conflict in this universe. You are
on one side or the other.
A man said to me, "You are in po-
sition to say your beliefs on the tenn
perance question. l would not be in
any other position. This man intima-
ted that he would lose business if he
spoke his principles Gf he has any).
He will take bribe of dollars.
Yesterday I had letter telling of
the wife of drunkard knew in
Portsmouth. The papers came out
with headlines that she was murdered
by her drunken husband. know that
he had only finished the work-he had
been killing her for fifteen years and
this was the kindest act he had done
for her! If there is anyone here that
is doing such a thing, there is certain
ly hell for you.
The organization of the church took
place under the direction of the Holy
Spirit. Jesus in glory sent the Holy
Spirit, and under his guidance the
creed was given Take the Bible for
your creed; why any other? Ordinances
were given to commemorate the death,
the burial and the resurrection. Fol-
low them just as they were given by
the Holy Spirit.
| We wish to give Christ the pre-emi-
nence. One man complained to men,
ber of certain church that he had the
] name "Church of Christ" painted on
the building as if that were the only
Church of Christ; and the reply was:
''We have no patent ON that name. "
We are not the only Christians but
Christians only. If all should take the
name Christian we would not know
one from the other" said he. That is
as it should be, for Christ wants US to

Two Lectures or Baptism

Rev. J. F. Black, lecturer, author
and preacher, Of Manchester, Ia, de-
livered addresses at the opera house
Monday and Tuesday evenings, defend
ing the position of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church on the subject of Baptism.
His addresses were quite scholarly
and showed an exhaustive study of the
subject.
The term creed" denoting a belief,
is something possessed by every think
ing person, whether it is written out
and subscribed to or merely held in the
mind. If all church denominations
were united into one, there would still
be differences of opinion on Baptism
and other subjects. But all denomina-
tions should be one in spirit and be
laboring to common end.
The speaker quoted at length from
several eminent clergymen of the
Church of Christ, who differed widely
on the policy of that church in requiring
immersion.
The M. E. Church does not require
baptism by sprinkling, but permits its
members to choose the form that they
believe is right. AS evidence of the
liberality of the M. e. Church, he quoted
from the 5th Article of Religion, which
reads: ''The Holy Scriptures contain
all things necessary to salvation; so
that whatsoever is not read therein,
nor may be proved thereby, is not to
be required of any man that it should
be believed as an article of faith. +"

be one There is much in a name.
There is none other name given un-
der heaven among men whereby we
must be saved" If you name a
church after Christ, he gets the glory;
if you name it after an ordinance. the
ordinance gets the glory;if after kind
of government, then the kind of gov
ernment gets the glory. If you want
Christ to have the glory, name your
church after Him.
The Northern and the Southern bands
were playing their own peculiar airs
till one started "Home Sweet Home, "
and all joined in together. That was
union ground. There were two great
Sunday school conventions, one on each
side of the Atlantic, in session at the
same time, and the following cable
gram was sent and responded to: "The
Christian Sunday school workers of
America send greetings to the Christ
ian Sunday school workers of Europe. "
There were workers of all denomina-
tions, but the word Christian was un-
ion ground and great enthusiasm was
aroused. Come and give Christ the pre-
eminence in your heart.
In his sermon on the greatest sin of
the age, Mr.. Romig said: Jesus Christ
looked into the future and saw the
wars, famines and pestilences, but one
thing he saw worse than all these,
which drew forth a prayer from the
Savior--divisions. THAT they may be
one" The apostle says, "ye bite and
devour one another "Mark them
that cause divisions among you," and
I beseech you that there be no divisions
among you." Luther said, "Call your
selves not Lutherans, call yourselves
Christians. John Wesley said," The
time will come when all will call them
selves Christians.
This prayer of Jesus is the unans-
wered prayer. Partizanship is strong
among Christians. If could go back
twenty years, would go as a mission
ary, where they are hungry for the
gospel and where the towns would not
be depopulated on Sunday by going
hunting.

The Bible makes nothing but Christ
ians. There is not a question but the
Bible can settle it for you if you will
take the Bible and the Bible alone.

GOOD ROADS BOOSTER
Would Raise Money by Private Sub scriptlon for Purpose of lmproV- ,no Route Through Devils

Leonard F. Black, superintendent of road signs of the Automobile Cluo of Southern California, has been snanding a few days in the valley boostiug the cause of good roads, and securing members for the club. says the Brawley News. MT. Black IS an enthusiast on his chosen subject and eIled his auditors with some of his own zeal. He believes that Imperial Valley needs good roads but one of the prime requisites of the future Is A means of entering and leaving the valley without danger of smashing machine on bad mountain roads. He proposes to use the money secured from members in the valley for the purpose of aiding in the repair of the Devils Canyon road on the way to San Diego, and if necessary, to raise some money by private subscription fo assist in the work. He believes that a great number of automobile owners would come to the valley dur ing the winter if am easier way Of crossing the hills was provided.
 Mr. Black proposes to accompany the party of machines which will leave the valley for the coast about August 1st so that he may become familiar with the conditions of the route.
 The Automobile Club of Southern California nas done noteworthy work in boosting for road improve ment. The plan of organization is one central organization with district Representatives In this way the uni ted body is stronger and accomplishes better results than number of dis connected clubs.

Mir. G. A. Davidson, Chairman, San Diego, Cal:
 Dear Sir - The unofficial an- nouncement of my candidacy for the United States senatorship has brought to me many inquiries for it's verifi- cation. In view of my repeated de- clinations, this is quite natural. A brief resume of facts in the history of the case will answer these queries.
 When your ommittee first broached the subject of my becoming a candidate for United States sena- tor from California, my answer was in the negative, and I tried to dissu- ade you from any further effort in that direction.
 Tn my letter of June 23 I again formally declined to become a candi- date, but incidentally outlined a plat form that I thought should govern the people of California in the selec- tion of United States senator by pri- mary vote.
 You immediately replied, approv- ing such a platform, and expressing the opinion that there was more than a reasonable chance of my election on such platform, but you failed to give me any substantial evidence to that effect.
 "On the 25th ult., and for the third time, once more declined to be- come candidate, and I supposed that the incident was closed
