always been a great source Of anxiety
and it is conceded that this instrument
will prove very valuable. in the fucure.
The sounds emanating from the upper
horn are accumulated by small motor
driven reproducer which operates very
silently, SO as not to interfere with the
blending of the sounds coming from the
larger and more important horn.
The bridge which supports the strings
is entirely different from the ones used
on the violins and larger string instru-
ments. The strings are supported in
the same manner as the wires on the top
of telegraph pole. This is readily
understood when it is explained that the
center pole is hollow and this takes the
sound from the inside of the instrument
being coupled directly to the large horn
making the transmission thereto COM

FRONT STREET SEWER is

Work on the sewer contract on Front

several months, is progressing as rapidly
as could be expected under conditio MS

Heating Company, of ST. Paul last
summer and the work begun in August.

Mr.. Masterson says that the only
thing to be feared now is that should
the river rise to unusual height with the
breaking up of winter the trenches may
be flooded for some time, but says the
stream Will have to rise at least twelve
feet above its normal height to cause
any great delay.
TN two of the blocks we have had to
tunnel to a depth Of about twenty feet,
said Mr.. Masterson. If the water
should raise say around twelve feet
some of this would Of necessity be flooded.
We are preparing for this possibility,
by building cutoff dams, but I am in
hopes we will not find their use necessary.

CUT DOWN COST
Rev. w. A. Goodwin Thinks Re-
Iigion Comes Too High.
He Advocates Doing Away
With So Many Churches.

The churches of the nation mount
nearly to the million mark, according
to w. A. Goodwin, North Topeka evan
gelist, who has been conducting spe-
cial united services for the working
men of that district for the last sew
eral months. And this number should
be diminished to less than half the
present number, he insists.
Sunday, the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin con-
Quoted two special services for work
ingmen and in both meetings he
pointed to the united church of the
country as the true religious institu-
ton, unhampered by sectarian lines
and open to the real teachings of the
lures each Sunday, instead of the sec
tartan sermons that are often
preached at the churches. A united
church, housing all the creeds. with
no set lines of belief, except belief in
the Bible, and open to those mem
bers of every sect in the country.
Plan Is Feasible.
This plan will work out in the larg-
est city or in the smallest community
