Speaking of the result. the Baltimore

Dr. Joseph |. France. the successful
Republican candidate in Maryland
for the United States Senate, was a
happy man yesterday,a Though with
his characteristic reserve he did not
show undue elation. He seemed to
take his election more as tribute to
the principles for which he stood and
upon which he made such a splendid
ing fight than as tribute to his
own personality. His high charcter
and magnetism did much toward Sc
curing for him the splendid majority.
In this manner the Senator elect

New Methodist Church.

Our Methodist friends have
been quietly at work for several
months raising funds for a new
house of worship, and they have
been so signally successful that
active work will begin this week
on the job. The new church will
be erected on the corner Of Third
street and WinsloW Avenue, and
have a ground dimension of
45X67 feet. In addition to the
regular auditorium, there will be
three class rooms across the
south front of the church, and
two class rooms, study, a din
ing room, kitchen and a rest
room at the north end of the
building. The arrangement Of
the five class rooms makes it pos
sible to through all of them into
the main auditorium, nearly
doubling the seating capacity Of
the church. An imposing tower
rises at the southeast corner of
the building, adding beauty and
grace to the outlines. The
specifications call for stone IN to
the window seats, and pebble
dash work to the roof, which
will be of slate.
w. A. Parr is the architect
and will have superintendent
Of the construction, and he
hopes to have the church ready
for dedication by Easter Sunday.
The building complete, exclusive
of furniture will cost approx
imately $4,000 and more than Is
per cent of the money has already
been subscribed. Since the
coming of Rev. W. B. Cole to
this place. the Methedists have
taken on new zeal in their work
in order to keep pace with the
activity of their preacher. which
is not only a good thing for the
church, but indirectly beneficial
to the city.

Patience Rewarded.

For two years the city council
and the cemetery committee hav-
ing been trying to get title to a
quarter section of land northwest
Of town for cemetery purposes,
and last week notice was receiv-
ed from the Department author
ling w. J. Crozier, city clerk,
to make final proof on the land
in the name Of the city. Rev. J.
NJ. White was chairman of the
cemetery committee, and it was
good thing a minister had
charge of the matter, because if
some unregenate sinner had been
in charge and had his patience
tried in trying to get some ac-
tion we are fearful some of the
commandments would have been
fractured.

High Water Damage.

The heavy rains early this
week, together with the warm
weather melting the snow off
the mountains, has made raging
torrents out of the several rivers
and small creeks in this county,
and the damage to the bridges
alone will amount to quite an
item, and demand the attention
of the supervisors at once. In
the upper country the bridges at
Taylor and at the Jensen ranch
near ShoWloW are out, and the
one at Snowflake has sunk down
several feet and is threatened
with destruction.

editor that he is in favor of elect
ing two or three women on the

he says this as a sincere cham

visement until next Friday, when
