JOHN SCHREINER
DONATES PIPE ORGAN
Splendid Gift of Lancaster Citizen to
Congregational Church-Dedi-
Gated Last Evening.

For several months past the people
who are especially interested in
matters pertaining to the Congrega-
tional church, as we'll as those VINO
are not so directly interested, have
been watching for, and talking about,
the new pipe-organ which had been
given to the church by someone whose
name, up to the present time had not
been made public Two or three
weeks ago this new pipe-organ, made
by the Hinners Organ Co., of Pekln,
ILL.,, arrived in town and was placed
in the church, we'll packed into II
large boxes. A day or two later, Fred
F. Pitts, of Pekin, was sent here to
install the organ. This was done in
one weeks time, with the help of the
pastor of the church and others who
were willing to lend a hand to help
along the new project. Water pipes
were laid to make connections with
the city water then a motor was in
stalled in the basement of the church,
which furnishes the power to make
the oragn give forth sounds and thus
save the trouble of pumping it by
hand.
This being completed the new
organ was all ready for use. and it
was decided that such an improve
ment to the furnishings Of the church
and in accordance with the spirit
with which it was given, a dedica
tion service would be in order before
the organ was used for regular service.
Accordingly, Prof. Frank W. Van
Dusen, instructor of organ and piano,
at the American Conservatory of
Music. in Chicago, and organist and
director of music at the Wilmette
Congregational church, in the same
city, also a former Lancaster boy,
wellknown by many of our towns
people, was engaged to give an organ
recital and to help in a dedication
service on Tuesday evening, Sept. 49,
Following is the program of this
service. as it was rendered last even

Rutland, Aug. 26.-Kennethh F Tay-
lor the eight year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Il. Taylor Of Wales st.,
who has been suffering with lockjaw
for almost a month, is greatly improv-
ed. His limbs have lost some OF their
rightly, and his mouth has opened
sufficiently to admit little solid food.
In combating the deadly effects Of
the germ OF lock jaw, 80 boxes of an
ti-toxin have been used. The contin-
uous use of the powerful antidote has
changed the tint of the child's hair
from a dark brown to light brown.
1t has also caused rash to break
out on his skin which is said to be the
only way anti-toxin can be worked
out of the blood.
The childs recovery is looked upon
as almost certain now, he himself
