DECORATING ATTRACTIVE.
Special mention should be made of
the decorating Of the church, which
was done by Henry voege, and of the
windows, which were purchased from
Kinzella & Co. of Chicago, and are the
donations of the various organizations
of the church. The big window facing
to the south on Twelfth avenue repre-
sents Christ in Gethsemane and was
donated by the Sunday school
The big window on the north, which
represents Christ standing at the door
and knocking for entrance, was pre-
sented by Carl Kruger In both Of
these windows the coloring is rich and
harmonious and they add much to the
attTactiveness Of the church.
All Of the smaller windows in the
building have been provided with
stained glass. The donors of these
are: Mrs. Amelie Pomranke, Mrs. B.
Vogt, MIR. and Mrs. Henry Gramms,

DEDICATE GERMAN
CHURCH SUNDAY
New Edifce of Evangelical Con-
gregation Formally Opened
With Services.
DR.. J. PlSTER THE SPEAKER
VIII Deliver Sermon Of Conservation
Other Prominent DiVines
to Participate.

The beautiful new German Evangeli-
cal church which has just been com
pleted will be dedicated next Sunday.
/ Appropriate exercises have been ar
ranged and the day promises TO be one
Of the most important in the history OF
the congregation.
INTERESTING PROGRAM.
| A program which will last through
out the day has been prepared. A num-
] Der Of noted divines of the denomiua-
! ton are to be present TO make ad-
dresses. Prominent among them will
be DR.. J. Pister OF Cincinnati, Ohio,
president Of the Synod Of North Amer
lea. He is TO deliver the dedicatory
sermon in the morning at 1890. He
will speak in German. At $3.50 in the
afternoon Rev. F. Werning of Lowden,
Iowa, will speak in German, and DR..
W. S. Marquis Of the Broadway Pres
byterian church OF this city will de-
liver an address IN English. At the
evening service at 1880 Rev. Edward
Kltmpke of Bloomington, H., will
speak in German and Rev. J. FREEZER
Of Franklin, Iowa, will be heard in Eng
lish. Both of the speakers are former
pastors Of the church. Rev. Rudolph
Stave of Nuscatine will also speak in
the evening and will bring so OF his
own congregation with him to attend
the dedicatory exercises. The choir is
arranging special music for all the
services, and in the morning the Rock
Island Maennerchor will assist in the
program.
NOT VERY OLD.
The German Evangelical congrega-
ton is not very old. 1t was formed in
1895. The first pastor was Rev. Theo-
dore Kruger, who served the church
from 1895 to 1900 The old Methodist
chapel on Ninth street was purchased
as a house of worship during his pas
torate. He was succeeded by Rev. J.
FREEZER, who was pastor from 1900 to
1904. II was during his pastorate that
the parsonage was built Rev. Z.
Klimpke of Bloomington was pastor
from 1904 TO 1908, when Rev. F. ].
Rolf took charge Of the congregation.
The work so flourished under the wise
administration of Rev. Mr. Rolf that
larger and more commodious quarters
were needed. A lot was purchased at
the corner of Twelfth street and
Twelfth avenue and later the structure
was started which will be dedicated
next Sunday The old church was sold
to the Jewish people and the parson-
age moved next to the new building
on Twelfth street.
HANDSOME STRUCTURE.
1t is a handsome and complete struc-
ture which has been erected. The
building is built of yellow pressed
brick and is 5Ox76. There are two en-
frances to the church on the east, each
leading to the main auditorium, which
IS 40 feet square There is a good
sized balcony at the east side of the
room and on the west is the choir loft,
in which the old church pipe organ
has been installed, although the con
gregation hopes to soon have a new
instrument. The pastors study is at

Yesterday the Masons in whose
hands the buying Of the furnishings
has been placed, determined by draw
ing lots which of the firms to give
audience. The samples and illustra-
tons Of six were considered, leaving
six more for consideration today.
1t is estimated that the furnishings
Of the new temple will require an ex-
penditure of at least $4,000. More
would be spent, but the Masons feel
the need for economy in view OF the
expense of building.
When the committee has seen all
that the II firms have to offer, togeth-
er with the prices for the same, the
contract will be let in way that is
considered most advantageous to the
order.

HAS VIEWS TO AIR.

lorney, put your attitude was one VI
antagonism.
HAS VIEWS TO AIR.
What I have said in this communi-
cation has principally concerned your
report to the board of supervisors and
as the grand jury, like your commit
tee, was appointed by the board OF
supervisors. and as you deemed 1t well
to make a report to said board, also
feel like making a statement express
ing my opinion concerning this matter.
In the first place, you engage two
attorneys-not 10 assist the states at
torney, Mr.. Thompson, but TO take mis-
place. According TO law there are
only three conditions under which this
may be done. First that the states
attorney Is absent. or not in the coun-
ty; second, thsC the states attorney
is interested in the case to be consid-
cred; third, that the states attorney
is not able 10 attend court.
Second, you hardly dare accuse him
of being implicated, although I have
heard insidious statements TO that ef-
feet. but such statements come from
towards and are not worth paying
much attention TO.
Third, in the light OF events that
have TRANSFERRED since his regime there
is considerable of a joke, Wis: The
county Of Henry. across Rock river,
was in favor Of building a bridge
across Rock river at Colona ferry.
Your board in its wisdom saw fit 10
thwart that good project and finally
Henry county stood on its rights and
ordered its states attorney to get out
q mandAmus, compelling Rock Island
county to pay its share for the build
ing Of the bridge. One of the men
your board hired as special attorney
IN the Bruner matter (because Of our
own states attorneys inability and
inexperience") was the then states at.
torney Of Henry county, who prepared
the mandamus. 1t became the duty OF
our own states attorney TO defend
our county and to do SO he was com
PEELED to go to the home Of his oppo-
nent and there fight the case. Con-
trary to his own will in the matter,
but loyal to his trug, he went, and be
hold, the court decreed that Rock
Island county did not have to build the
bridge. So, in this matter you made
two mtsjudgments; one in the over
estimation and one in the under-esti-
nation OF the ability of these attor-
neys.
PUBLICITY DEMANDED.
Now, one more thing Your COM
mittee having gained considerable tes-
timony in its investigations, upon the
value of which you seem to lay a
good deal Of stress, and since this
testimony is the property Of the peo-
pie as the county must pay the ex-
pense Of obtaining same, and since
this testimony has been read to the
board OF supervisors and is therefore
now made public In a sense, the pro-
ceedings OF the board having been
published in the newspapers, less the
testimony suggest that youshave same
published at once, that the people may
judge as TO its importance.
With all due respect to your honor
able committee and board, remain

habit of criticism that prevents the
free. full expression of good in the
life of the critic. It has been said, for
example, that professional literary
critics never turn out any good litera-
ture. Their habitual attitude of criti-
cism dries up the sources Of literary
production" Whether this sweeping
statement is true in every case or not,
It suggests a warning that most of us
need to think about. To be habitually
interested IN seeing and speaking
about the futures of others is to dry
