Spatcht and Max Wilcox ol the Young
Men's Hible 'l The homes of
Chadron opened most kindly for the
entertainment of guests, and altlin
the weather was not pleasant, neither
overhead nor underfoot, a goodly
number fifty or more of men met
cheerfully and in cordial good-fellow
ship at tlie appointed hour, S p. in.,
at the Y. M. C. A. building. Prof,
Wilson, after the openin-; exercises,
opened the meeting with a few re
marks at) to the purpose, and infor
mal nature, and then called for re
ports from various men's classes al
ready In Operation in Chadron and
elsewhere. These were listened to
apprecl:Mlely, uU not least amoim

In Alliance's young nun'.- class.
Then followed a dtf 'HiaioW of
methods used. The Y. M. C. A.
class of Chadron re.portt .1 t lie use Of
a very practical niuth I, taking up
u book of the IHblc and following
thru it regardless of erse or chap

or possibility of the hour. Some
days everaj ysasjajsj or a chapter;
other lason. hours mlglit be
Mfctlrel) taken up in the discussion
of some doctrine or practical opin
ion of truth that might present itself.
The chapter summary method of
the Alliance young men's class was
commended. Also the proposed Syn
theti. nuthod. Hut above all the
main thing Is to lead, by any met li
nt, to bible study.
These things were pretty freely
discussed until rather late hour
tpM on and adjournment seemed
in order. Hut evvn then the men
were not penni.tnl to go into the
night until they had partaken of
Chadron s hospi;a!iity still fuuhcr at

J,ast night at the l'helan opers
house, C. D. Johnson, local inspect
or at Denver of the bureau for the
safe transportation of explosives and
other dangerous articles, gave a lec
ture on the handling of explosives.
This lecture was tor the purpose of
Instructing train men and other rail
road employes how to handle ex
plonives and other dangerous artic
les so as to prevent accidents Mr.
Johnson uses a stereopt icnn outfit to
Illustrate his lecture. Several pic
tures were thrown on the screen,
showing what negligence in the
handling of explosives had don.
Mr. Johnson said that during the
paRt few years the employes of the
railroads had been co-operating with
the officials in cutting down the
nnmler of casualties In the year
1907 there were 52 persons killed
and SO more Injured as a result of
the transportation of explosives.
Property loss was half a million
During the year just passed one per
son was killed and five Injured and
the property lews was only $34,761.
This shows what has been aceom
plished by tln proper handling of
explosive's.
The opera house was filled with a
large and appreciative audience. A
