Aberdeen.-A stranger complained
to the authorities here of a confidence

said he was in Aberdeen from the

Neb., and while here met free strang-
ers, who told him they we're trainmen
and their ..-ain ran right through to
c":Ii island, and if he went with
them they would see his railroad fare
did not cost him o cent. He went
along and w2s lodged in a box car
with lis three new friends, and the
train pulled out. After they had rode
awhile, his new companions pulled
their guns and relieved him of all his
money and valuables. Then they kept
him a prisoner. he says, until the train
reached Mobridge, where they disap-
peared and he was released, only to
find himself penniless and farther
away from Grand Island than when he
left Aberdeen.

Wall Street, Old Trinity In Distance.

Wall Street, Old Trinity In Distance.
Trinity is the richest Christian
church. Richer, indeed, than many of
the great corporations Of the land
which have been stamped as predatory
institutions.
Heretofore 1t has been said o. Trim
ity that it's invariable policy vas "ad-
dition, division and silence" but since
DIR. William T. Manning became the
rector of the church things have
changed. DR.. Manning maintains that
there is a legitimate public interest in
the details of the wealth and manage.
ment of the institution. Otherwise we
wouldn't know that Trinity's wealth
amounts to SIS, 1000, 900.
OF course this isn't all in churches,
chapels and cemeteries, though prob
ably such property would bring $45,-
000, 900 in open market. The church
and its neighboring cemetery together
with st. Paul's chapel a little distant
on Nassau street are put down on the
city's rolls as valued at $40, 500, 900,
exempt of course, from taxation.
st. Agnes cost 81, 900, 900. Interces-
sion cost $685. 00. Both Of these prop
critics, as well as many others which
are unproductive because used for re-
ligious purposes, are owned by Trim
ity. 1t is upon these many plots and
structures that, taking the city's own
estimation &C the value, the estimate
Of an unproductive wealth of $45, O00,-
900 Is made.
Recently DR.. Manning had the hold
ings of Trinity announced in it's nine
chapels; and the figures revealed that
the city assesses the property which
Is held for investment at $4,000, 900.
This assessment is scarcely two-thirds
of the real value Of the property. In
addition there is enough other produc-
tive property to bring the total of $780,
100000.

by Wilcox. Instantly the horses
turned short and dashed across a plow-
ed field. The high speed and the jost-
ling threw all of the occupants of the
rig but n of the girls to the ground.
Mrs. Hendershott, with her baby In
her arms, plunged head first into the

events were over the baby was lying
peacefully on the ground. sound asleep
