ONLY ONE YEAR MORE.
Then Everything Is Going to Come
to Focus.

The second advent of Christ upon
earth and the reuniting of the lost
tribes of Israel will occur some time
In November of 1912, according to
a declaration filed in the office of
the county recorder at Chicago yes
terday.
This remarkable document which
fixes the month of the second COM
ing of the Savior was drawn up anS
filed by Harry L: Burnett and John
TAYLOR, disciples of the late jena
Alexander Dowie, and asks that a"
the followers of Zion rally to the
support of the king" when lie
shall come.
Before the year of 1912 shall
close. 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 doc
ument.
"The Christ will be revealed In
zion City. built BY Gods Elijah as
a preparation Of the way unto all
who await His coming"
According to Burnett, WHO Is the
author Of the prophecy the Christ
will remain on earth 4s4 years. This
time win be consumed In re-uniting
the tribes Of Israel and In building
cities throughout the earth after the
model Of Dovie's Zion City. The re-
building Of jerusalem viii be the
last work Of the Christ upon earth

NEW WALL OF VANDERBILT
BUILDING UNDERMINED, },

About thirty feet of the new wall
of the building which ]. e. Wander
belt Is erecting on Buckeye was un-
dermined by the water last night and
caved in. Considerable drain water
runs down the alley next the new
building but the chief cause of the
cave-in, in all probability, was a
six-inch drain pipe which runs from
the brick block on Third street and
emptied within few inches of the
damaged wall. This drain discharged
all of the water during the heavy
rain, from the roof of the large
building against the newly laid
bricks. About two feet of water
was held in the cellar after the sew
er connection became clogged.

SiIos Are Becoming
Common in Dickinson

silos in Kansas has been supervised
by men from the agricultural col
lege who were sent out on request
of builders. No charge, save for ex-
penses was made for this supervision
The cost of a silo such as has just
been completed at the college is as
follows: Cement, $46.50, metal lath
$2s.68, lime $3.50, wire $3.69, iron
rods for doors 50, gas pipe for re-
enforcing doors 1886, lumber $5.04,
rent or scaffolding $S, labor of plas-
terer s3S.25, labor of carpenter $14,
common labor $46.50, sand $11.20,
expenses $3.50.
This makes total of $20S.02 but
the foundation of this silo had been
previously built so that cost, probab-
ly $35, was not added to this esti-
mate.
Prices Of materials in different
parts Of the state vary, but $3.50
would be liberal estimate of the
cost Of a 1O0-ton silo in Kansas.

THIRD STREET is FIRST
TO HAVE CURB AND GUTTER
From Cedar to the Bridge II VIII Be
Improved.

In response to a petition signed by
considerable majority of the proper
ty holders on West Third between
Cedar street and the bridge over Mud
creek the city commissioners this
morning ordered curb and guttering
put in on that street. The plans
call for cement curb and a wide ce-
ment gutter. probably three feet and
the narrowing Of the street to 40 feet.
This will widen the parkings four
feet on each side and insure per-
feet drainage. making the street not
only well drained but handsomer
than ever.
Cedar street petitioners have not
yet presented their papers but It is
expected that It will soon be in line.
An ordinance ordering certain
specified alleys OF the business dis
trict to be paved was passed. The
specifications have been prepared by
the city engineer and the notice for
bids was ordered published.
Mayor Hurd, Commissioners Mat
teson and Forney and City Attorney
Smith we're present.

Keg Parties No More
Permissible in Kansas

Keg parties have not been SO pOpu
lar in Kansas since a recent decisioI
OF a district Judge down In Alles
county and since dozens Of people
have written into the attorney gen
eral to find out whether there is
any possibility that the Judge wes
right. Judge Oscar Foust of the
Allen county district court had put
decided crimp In the keg party
practice. He has created consterna-
tion among those who have been
in the habit of chipping in a. quarter
apiece on Thursday evenings in ord
er to be prepared for a keg party
on Sunday night. Judge Foust holds
that the parties are in violation of
the law and the attorney general
says all the law is on Judge Foust's
side.
Down at lola T. Lederer and more
congenial spirits decided to have a
keg party on Saturday night, Just
the same as has been done in dozens
Of other towns in Kansas. Each of
the congenial spirits contributed a
small amount and Lederer sent to

Kansas City for case of beer. There
were five in the party. When the
beer came they gathered at the home
of one of the party and spent the
evening emptying the bottles. Then
the law stepped in. Lederer was ar
rested and charged with selling beer
in violation of the prohibitory law.
He pleaded guilty and was fined.
The court held that the fact that
he took the money and bought the
beer, then distributed It among the
contributors constituted an offense
under the prohibitory law. Each
member of the party had contributed
seventy cents. Lederer ordered the
beer in his name and each man got
what his seventy cents bought.
Lederer was not charged with
a nuisance. He was not
found guilty Of that because Of al
lowing his friends to drink at his
house. But he was found guilty of
selling liquor. The case has not been
appealed to the supreme court, but
It is said that 1t will be, 1t has al
ready spoiled many proposed keg
parties.

Mt. Pleasant Church
Burned by Lightning

Two more good rains fell Satur-
day and Sunday nights, aggregating
about 2 inches of water. They were
general over the county and were
accompanied by high wind and bril-
liant electrical displays.
Sunday night the Mt. Pleasant
Presbyterian church ten miles south
west was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. 1t was one
of the pioneer churches Of the county
and a landmark of southwest Dick
inson.
The large barn on the farm Of
Frank Robson of Garfield was also
burned, including considerable
grain, feed and some implements. It
was partially insured.

mature with good ears and many de-
clare that their crop will be better
than that of last season.

A Washington dispatch says the
president probably will leave Beverly
September II, returning east about
November 1. He will go west through
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado
and Nevada to the coast. Most of
the big cities in those states, includ-
ing Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha,
Denver and Salt Lake City, will be
visited, but the plans for the trip
contemplate stops at scores of small
er places as well. From California
the president will go to Portland
and Seattle. Three days are to be
spent in the state of Washington,
and the route eastward will allow
him to stop in Idaho, Montana, the
Dakotap and Minnesota. It is rre-
sumed that Abilene will be on the
trip from Kansas to Nebraska.
