Professor L. G. Weld Gives INSTRUCT
i've Lecture to Broadway
Mems Club.

The 100 members of the Broadway
Mems club who we're fortunate
enough to hear Professor L. G. Weld
of Iowa university lecture before the
club last night, gained considerable
knowledge concerning Halley's COM
ct. Mr. Weld, who is professor of
astronomy, in very pleasing con-
versation, rather than a lecture, ex-
planned fully the astronomers knowl-
edge of the comet. At different
points Of his discourse he illustrated
with blackboard drawings and with
stereoptican views the course of Hal
ley's comet about the sun. Pictures
showing the tramp, dating back as
far as the seventh century, were CIV
en-, az well as pictures which were
taken upon more recent pilgrimages
Of the comet across the skies. AL
though the pictures which were
shown of the earlier visits were not
so exact, they showed rather clearly
just what the comet had done.
After listening to the lecture, the
meeting was adjourned just in time
for a fine view of the comet, which
was exceedingly plain last evening.
Inc meeting of the club was the last
to be held till next fall.

CITY MAY DROP
PLAN OF SEWER
Attitude of Property Owners
Towards Improvement Is
Disappointment.
SEEMS MlSUNDERSTAND DING
Assessment Against Those Who Have
but 80 Cents Per Foot.

1t seems that there is a misunder-
standing at the basis of the objections
which are being made by property
owners in the west half of the bluff
section of the Seventh ward to the
sewer Improvement which the city
proposes to build there. AS related
yesterday in these columns, there are
on file So names of people Directing
to the improvement, but City Attorney
]. F. Witter, who has looked the petit
lions over carefully, says that the OBJ
jections are not well taken and that
the signers apparently have no clear
idea of what 1t is proposed to do.
Some of the directors state that they
already have private sewers and that
they object to the improvement be-
cause they believe it means only that
they have to pay for two sewers. The
city attorney stated today, however,
that this was not the case, and that
the assessment against. people who
have already paid for a sewer is to be
but 80 cents per foot of frontage, and
that this amount is to pay for a storm
drain and not for a sewer.
Others Want 1t Cheaper.
The estimates for the sewer fix the
cost at about S6S,0O0, and the city's
share of this is $4,000, leaving the
property owners to pay for little more
than half the entire amount. This is
divided among them at a rate of Sl.40
per foot of frontage, and most of the
DIRECTORS register complaint against
this price per foot. 1t seems that at
the time the sewer was being planned
it was held out to the property own
ers that the cost would be less than
this, probably about 81 per foot, and
a number of the signers to the object
ing petitions base their complaints on
this apparent advance in expense.
In view of the fact that a sewer is
needed probably more in the west half
of the Seventh ward bluff section than
anywhere else in the city, it would
seem a shame to block the improve
ment because of misunderstanding be-
tween the city authorities and the
property owners. 1t would also mean
that when they finally do want the
sewer it will cost them more, as the
city's share will decrease as the value
of the property increases. City Attor-
ney Witter is very much nettled over
the number of objections to the sewer
and says he is not disposed to fight
the case at all He claims TO have
worked hard in the interests of the
sewer under the. impression that it
was what the people wanted, and he
is considerably disappointed because
of their change Of views.

which also served as a church The
furniture consisted OF bureau, a stove

Augustana Synod Organized.
The need of organizing an independ-
ent synod, in order to carry on effect
I've work among the rapidly increasing
Scandinavians who arrived in this
country, soon became apparent. At
the instigation of Rev Mr.. Esbjorn. a
general conference was called in the
Emmanuel church, Chicago, April 23-
%, 1860, for the purpose Of considering
the question. After mature delibera-
ton, it was decided to withdraw from
the northern Illinois synod and organ
lie an independent church body. The
organization took place ON June of
the same year at Clinton, Wis. Several
Norwegian Lutherans participated in
the organization, wherefore the synod
was given the name, THE Scandinavia
an Evangelical Lutheran Augustana
Synod" The name "Augustana" was
proposed by DR.. Norelius. 1t is the
Latin term for the Augsburg confes-
sion. Rev T. N. Hasselquist was
chosen first president of the synod.
The organization Of Augustana Col
lege and Theological seminary took
place at the same time, Rev. L. P.
Esbjorn being chosen its first presi-
dent.
At the time of its organization, the
synod was composed of SO congrega-
tions, with II pastors and 3,447 mem
bers. The latest statistics compiled
show that there are now 1892 congre-
cation, with a total membership of
more than quarter of a million. The
total value of the church properties of
the synod reaches S3,077 1862. In addi-
ton to this, the synod has nine col
leges and academies in different parts
of the country, 10 charitable institu-
tons and a prosperous book concern.
In 1870 the Norwegians withdrew
from the synod and organized a
church body of their own. This step
was taken by mutual agreement, it be-
ing recognized that the best interests
of the two peoples would be served by
separate organizations. The Norwe-
gians have also waxed strong in num-
bers, especially in the northern states.
