This jubilee is in commemeration
of the fiftieth anniversary of the

church traces it's origin back to Feb
ruary %, 1871, when an organization
was effected and called the Swedish
Evangelical Lutheran church, Salem.
John Rodman, the first settler at
Mamre, was very active religiously
among the early pioneers of that twp.
Rev. J. G.. SjoQuist, who was instru-
mental in launching this congregation,
will attend the jubilee services and
deliver several addresses. In 1873
the old constitution was changed and
the congregation later member
of the Swedish Mission Covenant The
congregation has been served by six
pastors in its history: Rev. SjoQuist,
Rev. c.. NJ. Youngquist, Rev. A. Sund-
berg, Rev. N. Frykman, Rev. A. w
Franklin, Rev. O. Wenstrand and Rev.
Strom, who is now serving the con-
gregation.
The above pastors served during
the following years respectively: 1871
1876; 1s76-1SS2; 18S2-1889> 1SS9-1911:
1911-1914; 1914-1919; 1919.
In 1897 the construction of the pres
ent building was completed and in
1900 tower was added. The struct-
ure is a handsome one, and cost
$4,000.
The 40 year anniversary was cele-
brated in 1911. -.
The present parsonage was built in

LET PUEBLO BE A LESSON.

Disasters like that which has befailen Pueblo
are due to the want Of precaution on the part of
Colorado is dry land but any one who
has knowledge of the great arid region of the
west Is that the infrequent rains often take
the form of coudbursts When such occur the
water sweeps down the valleys carrying all that
is in its path. Ordinarily the western rivers carry
little water in their beds, but they may change
suddenly to raging torrents
In building the city of Pueblo low ground
in relation to the river doubtless the possibility of
floods taken into account but as years pass
ed without anything alarming occurring, prob
ably the building approached the river more
nearly Then unprecedented rainfall occurred
and the damage done. 1t is the lesson that
other cities have learned from like calamities,
though not the less regrettable that account.
The lives lost cannot be restored but precautions
not only in Pueblo but in other cities similarly sit
uated can be taken to escape a similar visitation.
Man is greedy and land that lies near the water
need offer second invitation to him to come
and occupy He builds on 1t and trusts to luck.
The unfortunate phase Of the situation lies In

ELECTIONPHOBIA.

partisan has been described as one who Is
willing that his favorite newspaper shall tell any
necessary lies in order to aid the party. This COM
ment may sound trifle cynical, yet it is not far
from the truth after all. Almost any strong party
man approves the repression Of any facts which
will hurt the party. 1t is only step from that
mental attitude to one where the onlooker will
acquiesce in the telling of falsehoods even II he
does not actually attempt to sustain or justify
them.
Electionphobia is strange malady but 1t at
tacks most of us periodically. Usually the epidemic
comes about October. 1t may be looked for in
New Mexico this year, during the last Of August
and the first of September.
The disease affects our judgment our poise
and our sense of right. 1t generally results In
blindness for time and in partisan hysteria. Its
effect on America is deplorable.
The only known remedy belongs in the realm
of preventive medicine There is nothing that can
be done but allow the disease to run its course,
once the patient is taken with 1t. The preventa-
tive is to decide in advance that any party must
deserve our support in order to receive 1t. good
dose of independence of thought, we'll mixed with
a love for the common welfare, will be a guar
antee of immunity

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, June 20.--Wheat I'M
derwent sharp setback in price
today, largely as result OF de-
preston in the New York stock
market and in cotton as we'll. The
close in wheat was heavy, to 4c
net lower with July $1.24& to
and September $1.20 to
$1.20k. Corn finished n to %c
down, oats unchanged to sc off,
and provisions up 2h to zoe.
Lack of confidence. which
seemed for at least the time being
to have grabbed the majority OF
buyers in the wheat market, proved
to be much more than an offset for
bullish field advices from the
spring crop belt. and for disap-
pointing harvest returns from the
winter crop. One good rally took
place, but otherwise the bears had
things much their own way. Bulls
were handicapped to the greatest
extent by the general unsettling IN
fluence of the action of stocks and
cotton. but in addition the pre-
vailing favorable weather for har-
yesting was an inducement to sell
which was emphasized by record
breaking receipts at Hutchinson
Kans., 1853 cars, and by the fact
that new wheat was beginning to
arrive in Kansas City. Besides, ex'
port demand was slow. With a
substantial increase shown in the
visible supply total. buyers con-
tinued to back away throughout
the late dealings and to keep an
eye mainly on the downward SWINE
of the stock market.
Absence of rain tended to checE
weakness in the corn. market. ano
