TO BUILD A CONCRETE BRIDGE?
Wall Will BE Built at End of Fourth
Street

The city commissioners and Ell
mer Elwick went to Salina today
to look over the concrete bridge on
the Smoky Hill river there. They
are considering building a new
Third street bridge similar to the
Salina bridge. If everything is found
satisfactory the citizens will vote
as to whether the money shall be
given. The bridge would be great
improvement to the city.
A concrete wall will be built at
the end of Fourth street to take the
place of the stone one which fell
down during the last flood. The
levy ordinance was passed and the
weekly bills were allowed at the
this morning.

LETTER WAS
SENT TO CAPTAIN BROWNE

A letter was received by Captain
Browne late Saturday afternoon
making threats and saying that the
tpresent war was money mans war
The letter was plainly a reasonable
act and is now being investigated
IL said:
Captain Browne: You had bet
ter quit the recruiting and getting
men to join the army. Mr.. Wilson
and the congressman forced this
war upon us and it is nothing but a
money mans war President Wilson
ought to get the first shot and the
congressman should follow. Wilson
and all the rest of them are set
of fools and we won't stand for 1t.
The latter was not signed How
ever Captain Browne does not take
the contents very strongly as he is
endeavoring to get IS men in one
day. But when the latter was read
at the flag raising services it GER
tainly caused great deal of excite
ment among the crowd.
II has been sent to the govern
ment secret service and If the writ
or is found it will go hard with him.

BIG STREET DANCE FRIDAY
Another Will BE Given for Benefit
of Company

Overriding the objections put
forth by the church delegation, the
city commissioners granted the
permission for another street dance,
TIC be held on Broadway between
Second and Third streets next Fri
day. The street will be roped off
and each set of dances will cost 5
cents.
The argument set forth by the
was that one cannot
do too much for the boys that are
to fight for us. 1t is also better to
have the dance in the open than in
dance hall. And too, the majority
of the city, according to the crowd
that attended the first one, must be
in favor of a street dance so that
the proceeds might go for com
pany mess fund.

Surely if we are honest in searching
ourselves by these standards we shall
have to confess that we all stand In
need of a full and free confession of
sins before God. He promises to for
give if we do.
A blessing is found in confession OF
sin. It is an honest sigh for relief.
Cannot find full peace until the con-
fession is made. While confession to
God always first and necessary still
full confession to man is wonder
full source of help and strength. st.
James exhorts us to confess our sins
one to another. and to pray for one
another. Great comfort to be found
in unburdening the heart to one in
whom we have confidence and who
will be able to give assurance from
Gods word of free forgiveness from
God. This the work of pastors al
though any individual may exercise
the privilege of all believers in giving
comfort from the word of God. But
speaking with the authority given by
that word what ever is said in Gods
name stands as If spoken by himself
and is so to be believed by the re
pentant one This word of God sc
spoken to the confessing one is the
key that, because of his true repent
ance looses him from his sins; or
if unrepentant binds in sin. And the
word of absolution or of refusal o.
absolution is to be heard as it truly
is, the word of God from heaven

A little while We walk amid the

A little while we wander on alone.
Then, mid the asphodel of heavenly
meadows
We'll clasp the loved, eternally our
own.
Not for their sorrow is our bitter
weeping.
They know no sorrow round the
radiant throne;
On, not for these, whose forms on
earth are sleeping,
But for ourselves we make our
grievous moan.
They walk in white. in joy and
peace abounding,
Through the fair gardens of their
glorious home;
They hear with rapture angel harps
|resounding,
And yet 1 think they long for us
to come.
Does not cen heaven to them lacR
perfect sweetness,
Though they are eompeers of the
glorious band?
Does not void still jar their joys

Missing the presence of "a van
ished hand?"
They will rejoice to greet us wher
we meet them,
In that fair land DER deaths colo

And in the gladness with which W,
shall greet them,
These sorrowing hours wilh seen
