Church Items

The third centennial of the establishing of the King James version of the au- thorized Bible was observed In this city today by Rev. F. II. Swallow, pastor of the Presbyterian church, at the Ii o'clock services. His text, "The Book" furnished the foundation for an instruc- tive sermon. The ministers of the Gen eral Alliance of the Anglican churches all over the country are preaching along this line at this time and the secretary of the American Bible society has mailed circular letters to the clergy, suggest ing an observation of this historcal and religious event.
 Rev. M K. Thornton delivered a ser- mon, "The Word," at the II o'clock wor- ship on last Sunday and thus the Bap- lists were the first denomination of Bes- semer to pay tribute to the foundation of the cornerstone of their faith.
 Rev. H. l.. Walker of the United States of America Presbyterian church has re- turned from New Decatur, where he as- sisted Rev. John Foster in conducting a splendid revival at the Willoughby Pres byterian church of that city.
 Rev. l.. F. Parrish of the Jonesboro Methodist church, who has instituted the custom of addressing the children on every fifth Sunday, made an excellent talk, "Lessons from the Flowers" at the Il o'clock services Sunday.

SHOWER FOR GROOM
St. Cloud journal Press Tells
How A. f. Strebel Survived
Recent Event

The ST. Cloud Journal Press of July
I, after reading The Herald's account
of the ''shower" for A. f. Stebel in
last weeks issue gave vent to the fol-
lowing:
Sup at Sank Centre the Importance
of the bridegroom is appreciated.
Heretofore the groom-to-be has been
sidetracked, and considered of no
special Importance, Notwithstanding
there could be no wedding without
him. All the pleasant social events,
all the showers ct cetera have been
for the blushing and beautiful pres
pective bride. But Sank Centre
society people have set the .rutty old
world an object lesson, and for once
the happy man has due consideration.
The Herald of that enterprising city
tells us that the marriage of A. f.
Strebel and Miss Alice Dean will be
the social event of the season. Mrs.
j. A. Dubois, who mothered the inno-
walton, arranged a shower for Mr.
Strebel and not for Miss Dean. 1t
was very happy event. The men
folks, who may have been envious of
the man thus honored for the first
time in the history of time since
wedding rings came into fashion,
selected their contributions for the
shower" with great care. There
were buck saws, snow shovels, hoes,
axes, spades, lawn mowers, dandelion
eXtractOrs, lawn rakes, garden rakes,
coal hods, saw horses, carpet beaters,
ash sifters, hammers, saws and other
instruments of torture, which have
long afflicted man as the head Of the
household. Mr. Strebel was game,
however, as becomes the pioneer, and
accepted the presents in so gracious a
spirit that he convinced the guests
that he really liked them"

now ABOUT BROWfR
Redwood falls Paper Mentions
Him as a Senatorial
Possibility

Grove E. Wilson, erstwhile political
writer on the ST. Paul Dispatch, now
"head push" on the Redwood Gazette,
takes this shy at one of the favorite
sons of Stearns county:
speaking of the senate: How
about Ripley Brewer?
Grower is some campaigner, hand
some, eloquent, wise. That's a rath-
er nifty combination. He comes from
the center of the state, he is not iden-
titled with any of the issues that have
tended to break up the grand old
party in this year of our Lord and at
first blush looks like rather an accep-
table candidate.
Ripley has one serious drawback:
lack of confidence in himself. If he
had little more belief in his own
ability things might be considerably
different in this old state at this
minute. He didn't have and they
amt.
Snow if he can go out and gather
in bunch of nerve and keep it he
may give anyone who looks upon the
senate when it is tempting run for
for his cash."

1T GOES THROUGH
Proposition to Bond District for
New School Building
ALMOST FIVE TO ONE
Good Vote Cast and Opposition to
to the Measure Fails to Show
Very Much Strength

The proposition to bond the INDIE
pendent School District of Sank Gen.
ire for $4,000 to defray the expense
of erecting and equipping new
school building, carried by a good vote
last Friday.
The total number of votes cast was
349. OF these, 2S8 were for the pro-
position and 81 against it. OF the
male vote, 1875 favored the bonds and
4S were opposed. Women can vote at
school elections and 1O6 availed them
selves of the privilege last Friday.
Ninety-three voted for the bonds and
thirteen against them.
There was considerable interest
taken in the election, although there
was no excitement. The friends of
the bond proposition rallied to it's
support in fine style, as is shown by
the count of the votes. The decisive
majority given the bonds indicates
that the public is specially DESTROYS
of improving conditions in the public
schools.
At the earliest possible date the
Board of Education will take meas
ures to proceed with the erection of a
new building. Application has al
ready. been made to the State Board
of Investment for the funds neces-
sary to carry the project through.
That body holds it's next meeting
the first Monday in August when the
application will be considered. There
is a probability of some delay, as the
Board of Investment is now some
what short of funds. It is hoped,
however, that arrangements may be
made to begin work soon on the pro-
posed new building.
AS announced in recent issue of
The Herald, the Board of Education
has already had St. Paul architect
prepare and submit tentative plans
for new building. These plans show
two story structure of ample size
fronting on Fourth Street, everything
connected with the building being
up to date. Whether these plans are
adopted or whether others will be
called for is uncertain, but of one
thing the public may rest assured,
and that is that what the Board of
Education does in the line of build
ing will be well done.

GETS AFTER HIM
City Council Punches Up Street
Sprinkling Contractor
MUST DO WORK RIGHT
Ordered to Furnish Water to Those
Who Desire it or City Will
Close nydrdnt

The person who is under contract
TO furnish Sank Centre business men
with street sprinkling service this
season, must now ''get busy" and give
decent service to those who desire it
and are willing to pay for it, or the
city will close the hydrant on him.
Street Commissioner Geo. Rice has
been authorized by the city council
to order the street sprinkling con-
tractor to furnish good service regu-
larry to such persons as desire it and
will pay for it, and to use no discrim-
nation. If the contractor does not
comply with this order the street
commissioner is authorized to cut off
his water supply, which is furnished
free of charge. The councils action
is based on the following opinion of
the city attorney:
Section of Chapter 4, of the
charter of the city of Sank Centre,
MIMI, gives the city the power and
authority to make. enact, ordain, es-
tablish, publish, enforce, alter, modify,
amend and repeal all ordinances, laws,
rules and regulations for the govern
ment and good order of the city; also
control of all streets and alleys of the
city. Under the provision of these
powers, the city has the right to pass
all laws thereto not in conflict with
the laws of the state. The city may
establish sprinkling districts and as
sess the cost of sprinkling to the
frontage of the property benefited;
and may also at its option, sprinkle
snch districts at the actual cost of
doing so. 1t may furnish water to
others sprinkling, free of charge, and
may permit others to sprinkle the
streets.
Private parties doing sprinkling
for the residents of the city will be
controlled by the contract they make
with the different parties for whom
they do sprinkling, and will be re-
sponsible for damages for violation
of their contracts. Parties refusing
to sprinkle the streets for any person
who is willing to pay, and who is
within a territory being sprinkled by
them, should be deprived of the use
of the city water
In accordance with this opinion the
contractor is liable for damages for
arbitrarily and without orders cut
ting off The Herald's water supply
three weeks ago. In using this dis
elimination, he has also placed him
self in position where his water sup
ply can be cut off by the city.
