NEWMAN N. E. CHURCH
RAISES SUN OF $500

Last Sunday was a big day at the
Newman M. Il. church of this city,
and one that will not soon be FOR
gotten by the members and friends,
as It marked an epoch in the progress
o! the organization. For some time
mast extensive improvements have
been carried on and the aim to make
this the finest church home In the
city has eliminated In the building
of n fine new parsonage and In the
remodeling and furnishing of the
church. A good share OF this I'M
provement fund has been paid by the
Ladies' Aid, but much yet remains
to be paid by the members OF the
church. On last Sunday the pastor
asked for $500 and the members
responded with subscriptions amount
ing to $1,000, proving beyond a
doubt their loyalty to their church
and pastor and their interest In the
improvements which have been tax
ing place. As the improvements
which have already taken place
amount to about $500, the surplus
raised will afford an opportunity Tor
more extended work in this line
which may be used in sidewalks and
repainting the outside OF the church
The improvements as they now stano
consist of carpeting and remodeline
of inside of church at an expense OF
about $1,000; the parsonage whef
completed will cost In the neighDor
hood of $4,000, while the furnishing
and sundry expenses will amount tC
between $500 and 5000. This vii
leave about 5000 for other needed
improvements. The new parsonag'
will be among the handsomest ah'
most commodious residences OF th'
city and will be ready for occupanc!
about the first OF April. The gener
Gus way in which the members re
sponded to the call Of their paste
and church has shown a most com
mendable spirit and their liberalit
and progressive ideas have made 10
them a church home to be proud o
. in every respect

RECALL DOES NOT
RECALL MAYOR SMELL
Relieved Now that Ashland Will For
get fractional Strife and Pull
Together.

The good red blood Of Ashland
won a sweeping victory at the polls
yesterday in the recall election. AS
predicted by the Mail Tribune cores
pondent, Mayor SHELLS vote was two
to one over w. n. Grubb, the candi-
date of the recall petitioners, The
vote was light, only 665 being cast in
the three wards, and the fact that
Grubb received but 21S is satisfac-
tory proof that the electorate of this
city is still safe and sane.
The Third ward registered a vote
of three to one for Mayor Smell, and
the First ward did nearly as well.
But the Second ward, which is the
home of Councilman Cunningham,
Recorder Eggleston, Water Commits
sioner Patterson and E. e. Phipps,
and which has long had the unen
viable reputation of being the most
unprogressive ward in the city, gave
Smell the scant majority of IL votes.
Now that the people have spoken SO
decisively for a progressive admins
tration of public affairs, it is thought
possible that Councilman Cunning
ham will resign. At any rate, 1t Is
hoped by many that he will consider
the matter seriously before embark
ing upon a policy of captiousness
that will tend to retard much needed
improvements.
Immediately following the an
nouncement of the result of the elec
tion, the victors started huge bon
fires on the plaza, bought up every
old stock of fireworks in the cit!
and celebrated noisily until a late
hour in a manner befitting com
munity that had effectually and per
manently laid a certain elemen
gently but firmly upon his dear OLE
moss-covered back.-Mail Tribune.

TAKING DOWN OLD
SIXTH STREET BRIDGE
The Work Was Commenced on Nom
day-Superintenden Says II
VIII Take 40 Days.

The Columbia Bridge company
commenced taking down the old
bridge at the foot of Sixth street on
Monday, that is, the preliminary
work was started on that day, They
first built tool house and then took
off a part of the planks of the bridge
and piled the same up on the north
side. ready to be used for fuel for
the donkey engine, The first real
work will be the driving of piles for
false work under the entire bridge.
This structure will be of a substan-
tial character as 1t must carry the
weight of the bridge before the
frame work or supports can be touch
ed. When this false work Is ready
the demoishing of the old timer VIII
be in order. All material will be
brought to the north side and piled
up, and when It gets In the way
teams will remove 1t to other places
selected by the county court.
The superintendent on the job says
they aim to complete their work In
about forty days. There are eight
men and a superintendent and the
men get from three to five dollars
day. according to their experience as
bridge builders. The superintendent
of course, draws salary, but there
is no way at present to estimate this
except the county court gives out the
figures. The pay for the eight men,
II Is fair to say, will average not FAR
from "a a day each; this would make
s32 day for the men, making an
item of $3.50, without the pay OF
the superintendent. II might be es-
timated that the piling timbers for
false work, hardware and other in
cidentals will be anywhere from $4OO
TO 5000: this, together with the pay
of the superintendent, will amount
to about $1,000, and this added 10
the original figures will make an
item for labor and material or
about $22S0; add to this twenty per
cent profit agreed upon by the coun-
ty court to be paid the bridge COM
,, pany, an item Of $3.50, and we have
a lump sum OF figures again OF
4, s273O for taking down the old
: bridge. There Is chance for this
> amount to be considerably increased
as these figures are only estimated
and It is not impossible, OF course
that It may be an over estimate.

Congressman Sending out Seed.

A dispatch from Washington, d.

who hail from city districts and have
