SIUDE LAUD LOCAL
Business COl


When. some time ago, the
papers of this city heralded tie
/ possib bilities of a business college
for this town, some, at first,
thought Of IL as d joke and passed
over it lightly: but through the
jealous efforts and consistent
work of our hustling organizer,
hi. 6. E. Keller it has ceased
ito be d joke and q dream and IS
now a stern reality And we,
the students, thoro roughly under
stand and appreciate the wonder
full benefits that can be derived
from this Institution
We feel that 1t Is the future
and the making of many young
women and young men who would
have been unable to go to some
distant place to receive this bust
ness course. And while It IS iii
our home town, we feel that we
should have it kept here and that
Sc is our duty to encourage the
maintenance and permanent or
ganization of this institution.
We feel that MI N. Thomas,
the instructor, is fully conlpe-
tent to conduct The college. His
display of practical knowledge
and his ability to ir1lpart this
knowledge to the student Is evi-
dent to all attending He ii n
thorough gentleman and d very
pleasant instructor better
selection could not have been
made.
The system and the order III
which the college Is conducted Ia
perfect and the work IS most IN
teresting. instruction Is per
=sonaI, as much ais possible, and
the backward student suffers no
embarrassment whatever. Every
student IS tanght individually
and is able to advance ii his
work as quickly as he is capable,
according to diligence and the
careful home stud that he does.
We feel that this Substitution Isl
"a blessing to the community and
every young man and young lady
who is able should take adyarl-
tage Of this splendid opport tunity

Chicago Recorder.

Chicago Recorder.
The second advent of Christ upon
earth and the reuniting Of the lost
tribes OF Israel will occur some time
in November 1912, according to dec
laration filed in the office of the Chi
cago county recorder.
This remarkable document, which
fixes the month Of the second coming
of the Saviour. was drawn up and filed
by Harry l.. Burnett and John Taylor,
disciples of the late John Alexander
Dowie, and asks that all the followers
of Zion rally to the support of the
King when he shall come.
Before the year 1912 shall chose
Jesus, the Christ and the Son of God.
will come forth from the eternal
throne once again to teach and preach
the gospel of salvation and to heal the
SICK" reads the document.
",rhe Christ will be revealed in Zion
city, built by Gods Elijah as prepa-
ration of the way, unto all who await
his coming.
According to burnett, who is the au-
thor of the prophecy, the Christ will
remain on earth 13l years. This time
will be consumed in reuniting the
tribes of Israel and in building cities
throughout the earth after the model
of Dowie's Zion city. The rebuilding
of Jerusalem will be the last work of
the Christ upon earth.

Companies which would nave little trouble in financing their efforts to secure the hidden treasure of the earth are compelled to re main idle until the question of su premacy is decided.
 Still we mining men are not dis heartened," continued Evans. If the revolution zs brought to T close within a reasonable length Of time, as We hope it win be.

 Among Bisbees eOsmopolite pop ulation there are star players from nearly every Rugby country on the globe from England and Scotland, Australia, South Africa. Canada, and the eastern states. A number of matches have been pulled off during the present season by independent teams and a great dead of Rugby eD thusiasm has been aroused
 It is only in recent years that the famous English game has found a place ip the American catalogue Of sport. and there was some prejudice gainst the game as it was a rival to straight football One of the alleged objections to the game, which was in large part imagined. it was toe much like pussy in the corner for red blooded Americans That objection was founded or ignorance of the game, for while owing to the open nature of the play it is not as rough and tumble as the American game of football, it is just as strenuous and exciting. The game requires nerve. skill and head work. Since it's in yasion of this country it has steadily increased in popularity and without doubt has come to stay. It has ob tained a particularly strong foothold on the coast. where there are sey eral leagues.
 The Rugby season will be closed here with a game Sunday afternoon at two o'clock between two "all star aggregations, the Stars against the Stripes. BotE teams have practieed hard for the match and it is likely to be mutually interesting.
