LetCher County News Notes.

WHITESBURG, KY, Oct. I'll
AS the November election draws
near interest continues to increase
and the usual hot contest for a
number of the county offices is go
ing to result. A large per cent of
the people of the country are dis
gustad at the corruption generally
practiced at the polls and will this
year make strong preconcerted eff
fort for pure clean election. The
last session of the grand jury OF
Letcher-co. made but a partial in
vestigation into the illegal vote
traffic, the buying and selling of
votes, resulting in several indict-
ments being returned, a number of
which were against election offic-
ers, some of whom were among the
best known men in the county This
year it seems that most of the
candidates have pledged themselves
together in body for a clean e.
lection in November, 0, for clean
er political era when the honest
poor man will stand on an equal
with the rich! ii

A Pulling Proposition.

For fully two hours early Friday
morning our brave fire laddies were
bafaed by q FIRE that WAS really not q
FIRE. An alarm was sent in by night
police Herzog about one O'Clock Fri.
day morning when he saw sparks at
the Amann barn back of the saloon.
The fire department responded prompt
!ly but found no smoke and no blaze.
Investigation showed that the sparks
thar .9s seen by Herzog we're emitted
Prom IN electric light wire from which
the insulation had worn of. Dick
Amann who tried to douse the glim
with bucket of water, received q
shock which threw him backward
several feet. Members of the fire de-
partment found it advantageous also
to remain q number of feet away from
the building. The only ones who were
immune to the electric attacks were
Hugo Gebeer and Fred Brust who
wore rubber boots. sa
A maze OF wires in the rear of the
Sannwald property impeded the work
OF locating the wire that was doing
the spark-sputtering stunt. The cur
rent was turned off several times and
on again in the effort to find the or
Tending wire. After an hours work it
vas discovered with the insulation
completely worn off and was eliminat-
ed. Some one smelled smoke in the
barn, however, ard the investigation
was resumed. 1t was not until part OF
the sheet iron roof had been removed
that the source of the smoke was dis
covered. There was found smolder.
ing fire about six inches in diameter
in the center of which was large nail
which evidently had become charged
and started the wood to burn.

Resume Of Work Accomplished It
Lutheran Synod.

At the Lutheran synod which was
held in Minneapolis in Rev. P.
Dovidst's congregation between June
11th and Jure 18th, several matters OF
importance we're discussed and dis.
posed of.
The morning sessions were given
over to the discussion Of the theme,
"The First Congregation in Jerusalem
40 : Pattern for Our Congregations. >
The afternoon sessions were devoted
Ito routine work and necessary bust.
n ess matters. The most important
resolution adopted was the one re-
commencing the consolidation Of the
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and
Nebraska synods. This matter will
be definitely disposed Of at the general
conference which convenes in Green
Bay this year. In the meantime the
m inisters and lay delegates belonging
to this synod are to take up this
M after with their various congrega-
tions who are expected to vote on it
and report to Pres. Nsumann before
August 10th how they feel toward the
consolidation proposition.
The report of the inner mission was
very favorable. Several of the con-
gregations have become self.sus.
tanning and the field in North Dakota
has been extended. Missionary
Hardus of Globe, Arizona was present
and reported on the missionary work
among the Indians. This missionary
work is especially difficult.
Reports from the theological semi
nary at Wauwatosa, Wis. and of the
Normal College at New Ulm were also
submitted. The Synod recommended
engaging q fourth instructor in the
Theological seminary and the trustees
OF the local college decided to re-
en- gage Prof. Hugo Mosel as inspector
for another year.
The Synod further resolved that the
residence of Prof. Ackermann needs
remodeling. II this is not feasible, a
new residence is to be erected. The
whole matter was left with the trustees
OF the Synod with full power to act.
Gibbon was designated as the place
for the next synodicsl conference.

Timely Rains Bring Relief

Showers of blessing" 10 . correct
designation for the moisture that fell
last Thursday night. For days thu
torrid sun had blazed out of June
skies of brilliant azure and the nights
came one by one with no dew e
quench the thirst of grass and grair
and garden growth. The wind, too
more Of it than is usual for June II
Minnesota, breathed its sultry breatl
over the earth, parching and witherinl
I'll vegetation which had no deep tap
roots to gain relief from the deeper
portions Of the soil. No matter tha
the wind blew from the east with tht
tang of rain in it; showers occasionally
showed themselves on the horizon bu1
we're quickly blotted out and fears
began to be expressed that ''it just
couldn't rain" Even lawns were be-
ginning to show the effect and in some
exposed places the grass is sere and
brown as in November. ..:
But Thursday afternoon clouds be-
gan to heap up in the northwest which
looked like business. The approach
of the rain was gradual, a strong wind
blowing from the north in advance OF
the rain in the western part OF the
county. In New Ulm there was con.
siderable electrical distur bance, the
city lighting system being affected to
some extent and bolt Of lightning
put the chimney on the KALI residence
on Broadway out of commission. The
rain came down in torrents for some
time, later becoming steady, gentle
downpour which continued nearly all
night in the immediate vicinity Of the
city, amounting to nearly an inch of
rainfall.
Every one is unanimous in de-
claring that the rain is Of inestimable
value to this county. Peter P. Mander-
fold of Cottonwood Township told the
Review that it came just in time to
save the pastures which would have
been destroyed in another week. They
have picked up wonderfully he says
and the small grains will now be
enabled to make q growth OF straw.
Before the rain it looked as tho
heading out would be accomplished
with the crop too short to harvest
Mr.. Manderfeld says,
however, that the rain was too late to
do much for the hay crop which will
be short. August Thiede, another
prominent farmer of the vicinity says
the benefit to crops and garden truck
is immeasurable.
No damage Of any consequence out
side of that to the KALI chimney has
been reported. A few instances of
wire trouble on rural and long
distance lines we're reported but
oothing worse. Brisk showers yester-
DAY added sufficient rainfall to keep
up the good begun and there is now
little to fear from drouth.

GO TO WORK.

Minneapolis Tribune: The whole
nation throbs and thrills with a new
hope, a new realization of religious
need, a new willingness to respond to
the promoting Of the spirit, America
is on the v of a great artistic and re-
ligious renaissance. A nation made
poor in spirit by oVermueh money
~grubbing now. lifts it's eyes to the
church as the source of spiritual
riches.
This is the situation in which a
powerful branch of the church makes
ready for it's triennial convention. In
New York city within the year will as
semble a notable body Of clergy and
laity charged with the solemn respon-
sibility of shaping the policies of the
Episcopal church to meet the need, as
far as in it lies,l Of the American peo-
pie in their present attitude. Surely
the great number, by far the greater
number, of the delegates to this con-
vention pray and make ready that
they may not fail this opportunity.
Yet, against their will, they are be-
ing shaped for internecine struggle,
for controversy over polity, for that
which in spite of all the polished
speech, and studied manner of the
controvertionalists is only pickering
and squabble. 1t dies not matter
what the occasion for the wood-wast-
ing is to. be. 1t threatens to be a diff
ference of opinion over the name Of
this particular branch of Gods church.
The time is not n for names. 1T is
one for work.
The Episcopal church and every 9TH
er church is maintained for laymen.
1t exists for laymen. The office of the
clergy is solely to serve laymen. And
the Judgment of the overwhelming ma
1nrJtV of laUTY1p1o i'm fhje a nh ,nyypYsIy 9th =
er denomination is that nine-tenths of
all the doctrinal disturbance which
has palsfed the ministration of the
church as the servant of Christ have
been utterly OF no Importance in the
serving for Christ.
High church, low church, broad
church, whether Episcopal, Presby-
terrain. Methodist or Lutheran, the
layman does not care. He does care
with all his soul, however, that the
church shall be at work with a single
purpose to hasten the coming of the
kingdom of Christ on earth.
The cure for this disagreement in
the Episcopal church, in every church,
is work. Let the clergy show the laity
the way to go to work. When the
church is so busy that she has no time
to be bitter over Teflnements of doc
trine she will find that questions of
creed and name have settled them
selves. When she has become content
with the present exaltation of the
priestly office and undertakes the full
fillnent Of her prophetic office, she will
find that most Of her present difficult
ties OF means and men have likewise
solved themselves.
In the name of the mel who have
been fa~ithful-to the church the call Isl.
Go to- work! In the name of the men
in whom the spirit is working for a
new allegiance to the church, the test
is: Go to work! In the name Of a
great nation awakening to a realiza-
ton Of its spiritual need, the. command
is: Go to work!
