A $10,000,o00 LAUGH.
Frank CIarkson in Ida Grove Pioneer
Tells How His Father Lost
$10,0o0,000 by Laughing.

The recent death in Chicago of Ar.
thur NJ. Barnhart, for many years the
president and principal stakeholder in
the great firm of type founders, Barn
hart Bros. & Spindler, OF Chicago, re-
calls the fact that Barnhart was in
the newspaper business in Iowa fer
many years.
Before the civil war Barnhart was
a printer in Des Moines on the old
Iowa State Register. With him work
ed as printers Ret" and Dick" Clark
son and Ziegler, the man who after
wards became the baking powder mill
ionaire. We remember of hearing
father tell how Ziegler tried to sell
his baking powder recipe in the news
room of the old Register. 1t seems
that a tramp printer came along and
sold Ziegler his recipe for baking pow
der for $50. After he got it Ziegler
did not know what to do with the
recipe, so he had a scheme whereby
tney would FORM company consist
ing OF Barnhart, the two Clarksons
and himself. In payment for his eff
forts as promoter Ziegler was to be
paid $40 by each of the three, but
when he suggested the idea his three
friends alughted at him and looked
upon the idea as scheme to get his
money out of a worthless recipe
friends laughed at him and looked
Clarksons about S10,00O,O0O each. Zieg
Ter started to make Royal baking pow
der and made an immense fortune. OF
the four printers who made up that
quartet on the old Register, "Ret"
Clarkson, uncle of the editor of the
Pioneer, is the only survivor.

county officials and in charge of COM
petent engineers and the work being
done with the approval and under the
supervision of the state highway COM
mission and it's engineers, we should
certainly be able TO build a network
OF highways that will be an inspira-

Improvement in the entire state.
AS we have heretofore remarked, if
We can make the right start the pub
lie can be relied upon to furnish the

spend not only millions but hundreds
OF millions if necessary as soon as
our people are satisfied that under
the existing organization they will get
value received for the money. For
the first time in the history of the
state, we believe, there is an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate to the public
that we are in position to construct
a system of highways with some
chance of there being a fair degree
OF uniformity in manner of construc-

Taking Hold With Good Will.

The county boards of supervisors
all over the state of Iowa are taking
up the work under the new road law
with hearty good will and it prom

the handling of the road affairs of
Iowa. While, of course, it does not
provide plans for the completion OF
such a system of highways as this
immensely rich commonwealth should
build, it at least provided for nothing
that is injurious to the ultimate con.

hard roads and gives an opportunity
to build the foundation for such sys-

PARISH GOSSIP THE CAUSE
"FaiIed to Live Up to That Which He

lows His Conference with Bishop.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-Following a
two-hour secret conference with his
Bishop, based in part upon parish
gossip in which the name of woman
was mentioned, the Rev. DR.. Alfred
Garnet Mortimer, siXty-four, popular
bachelor, Episcopal orator, leader of
the High Church party and noted and
prolific writer on Christian doctrine,
is suddenly and Unexpectedly out of
the rectorship of ST. Marks P. E.
Church, where he has been since 1891.
Asceticism was one of his favorite
preachments.
The resignation, asked for by
Bishop William Rhinelander and
promptly forthcoming, was acted upon
with no less alacrity by the official
board of st. Marks. and DR.. Mortimer
is no longer a priest of the diocese of
Pennsylvania.
Dr. Mortimer has given no reason
for his resignation from the church,
one of the most important in the do
cese. III health and advancing age
we're given by church officials as rea-
sons for the step.
The student event caused a stir in
church circles. St. Marks is one OF
TIE wealthiest parishes in the city and
has many society people among its
communicates. DR.. Mortimer was be-
loved by his parishioners.
Bishop Rhinelander issued this
statement:
at is a fact that DR.. Mortimer has
withdrawn from the work of his min
istry This action, however was not
the result of any trouble between
him and his vestry, nor in conse-
quence OF any request on their part
for his resignation.
1T followed upon a conference be
tween himself and me, in which per
sonal matters of serious moment were
considered by us. After the most
careful reflection ] counse}led him to
take the action which he afterward
took. and his yestry approved the
course. As he in effect placed him
self in my hands, think l ought not
to discuss the matter further
George Wharton Pepper, a yestry
man of St Marks, said

IHE PEOPLES FORUM.
The Birth and Work of The Savior.
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
At this season our minds naturally
turn toward Bethlehem and our hearts
are a bit tenderer as we think of what
the Savior has done for the world. "The
hopes and fears of all the years are met
in Thee tonight. "
1t is important that we have right
views of His person and work.
He was the Word made flesh, the
Goldman who on Calvary's hill sac
rificed His human nature on the altar of
His;Divinity. The Bible, which is Gods
word, clearly teaches his Divinity and
his humanity.
How these are united in one we can
not explain, but we receive it as a
matter of revelation.
He was divine before his incarnation.
He lived on earth as the Divine Human
man, and when his work on earth was
completed, He laid down His life, though
He did not cease to exist as some claim.
If He did. then he was annihilated, and
the Saviour we have now is not the one
who died and rose again, whose birth
we commemorate at Christmas time.
He was the self eXistant, eternal and
divine Son of God. He was alive, He
died and is alive forevermore.
Those who claim that He ceased to
exist when He was crucified mistake the
Bible meaning of death or deliberately
reject it. They make death to mean
ceasing to exist, cessation of being, and
humiliation. Then Adam when he died
ceased to exist, all his descendants cease
to exist. hence death means for us an
inhalation, and therefore ends all.
Such an idea puts a premium on a
sinful course of life, we can sin all we
desire yet never suffer for it hereafter.
But the Bible teaches and it alone is
authority that we do not cease to exist
when we die. Yet one of the great adj
vocates of this theory admits that
Christ became our substitute, paid the
penalty due sin. that is, He must pay
the penalty of the person for whom he
is substitute. If cessation of being,
Or humiliation, is the penalty of sinful
man, the substitute must pay in full,
hence Jesus must have been annihilated,
according to the logic of this theory
that is Haunted throughout the land.
AS substitute, He gave up his human
life, says the champion of this cult for
the race. He became extinct. therefore
He was annilated. But to escape his
dilemma he says Christ was created
again, not as man, but restored as an
invisible spirit being, and so his follow
ers are among US as spirit beings, though
We see them, can talk with them and if
our senses do not deceive them, they
are as they always were, and as the best
of US are, just mere human being feshly
N nature, with quite bit of the old
Adam nature in them. He claims Christ
had but one nature-a human nature
which was destroyed on the cross. If
so his personality was destroyed and if
that is so, how could it be recreated. If
thing does not exist 1t cannot be re-
created. 1t may be created, though il
will not be the old nature. but a new
personality. We must conclude then
that the personality which died on the
cross can't be the same which it is
claimed resumed its personality. Ac-
cording to this theory the Jesus who
made an atonement for us, was destroy
