Worthmann will Breach a sermon on the doctrines of the Lutheran Church. You. perhaps, have regarded the Lutherans a gath ering of bigoted Protestants. If so, ebm and hear the real truth. Pro -estantiam Is celebrating the Quadrl centennlal anniversary of the Refor mation this year. You owe it to yourself to know what this man man. Martin Luther, taught, and what the Lutheran Church. "O-called by its enemies, stands tor. D id you know that a Lutheran minister preached in America and died on American soil eight months before the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Ply mouth Kock and that the Lutheran Church is the largest Protestant body In the world, numbering almost aB many members as all the others com bined? Did you know that Daniel Webster said at Bunker Hill: The Reformation of Luther introduced the principle of civil liberty into the wilderness of North America ? No! Well come to this English service at the Lutheran Church on Nov. 4th and hear Rev. Worthmann. What Was the Iteformation? Rev. F. Worthmann. The Reformation was that relig ious movement of the 16th century and of which evolved the Protestant Church. It was not a revolution, seeking to overthrow the existing order of things, but a conservation movement, endeavoring to cleanse, purify and develop the church. It was not simply the statement of a doctrine nor the assertion of a nega tive principle. It was a re-discovery Of the Gospel teaching that the Just -,n iiv hv faith. From a moral point of view it was Inward freedom i uKomiori the consciences of mei Wednesday. October 17th. Ho stop ped at the Alliance Cafe r.nd talked with the proprietor regarding a po sition as clerk. He told them that he came to take a position on the railroad and that If he did not like toe railroad work he would want a Job to the cafe. He went to the roundhouse to work Thurnday morn ing, an awfully cold day. Chaplain stated that ' e worked at the roundhouse Thursday morn ing Thursday noon he ato a meal at the railroad eating house. He couldn't stand the meal or the peo ple, so quit the Job. Ho then went to work at the Alliance Cafe and worked there until Saturday night, when he was arrested on' the forni cation charge. The defendant went Into details. Me said that he met Miss Cook at the cafe, where she was a waitress. Monday she was sitting rt a table, crying. He sat down and asked her what the trouble was. She told him that the othor girls were talking about her and that she couldn't stand It and was going to quit, but that she had no place to stay and no place to eat. He told h?r she could go to his room and stay until she could secure anothor room. He took her to the room Sunday night. Sunday, night, according to his testimony, he went to the Drake Hotel and slept on a cot in the upper hallway. He did not register, but said he paid the night clerk seventy five cents for the bed rnd that he did tho same on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. That on Friday night he registered and had a room at the Drake Hotel. He found Thursday night, he said, that the sheriff was looking for him. He immediately went to look for the sheriff and kept looking for him Fri day and Saturday. Saturday after noon he met an officer at the city Jail. The officer told him that he had been watching, trying to catch him for two nights. He told the officer the situation and the officer told him to go to tho Coursoy ro.iidenco, get his clothing, and that nothing could be done to him unless he was caught in the room with the girl. He then went to the Coursey residence to get his clothing. He spoke to Mrs. Cour sey and said he wanted to get his clothing Mr. Couraey started to the telephone, telling him that he would not get away from the house. He told Coursoy he didn't have to stay and went back up town, looking for the sheriff. He didn't find the sheriff and went to the Silver Grillcafe to eat. While there Coursoy and Sheriff Cox came in and Coursey pointed him out. They then went to the court hourse and he was placed in Jail. Cross-examination by Attorney Basye brought out that the lady had been taken over Sunday night. That he had phoned for Miss Cook once this was probably what gave the deal away, as he asked for Miss Cook and Mrs. Coursey did not know who Miss Cook was. He also said that he stayod at the depot all night Thursday night, napping in the east end of the big waiting room. When asked by Basye why he sold that he was married when examined Monday morning he said that he was excited, that Basye looked as though he would eat him viciously. John C.

Judge Tash said that he did not Angsburg and raised the standard to which the Lutheran cnurcn nas aa hered to the present day. Justifica tion by faith, without the deeds of the law. is the cardinal principle of this church today. It has not fal tered in its firm adherence to the Bible as the only infallible rule of faith and conduct. The Bible as the verbally inspired message from Heaven is its only authority, and it makes no effort to bring its state ments into accord with human rea son. And since Luther has given humanity the open Bible again, Henry Ward Beecher has very right ly said: "Our civil liberty is the re sult of the open Bible, which Luther gave us." And Frederick Hedge of Harvard: "To Martin Luther, above 11 men, we Anglo-Americans are in debted for national Independence and mental freedom." M. v.. Cburrh Dr. Morris' Sunday evening talks to young men are attracting atten tion. A goodly number faced the storm last Sunday night and were deeply interested. The topic for next Sunday night is "The Eyes of the World." The young people are showing great Interest In the Epworth League meetings at tbe church on Sunday evening at 6: SO. Their social Tues day evening was sure a hummer. The Methodist men are to have a Banquet and Fellowship meeting one evening next week. FOUND GUILTY OF FORNICATION (Continued from Page 1) Judge Tash advised him that he wanted him to feel that he was being given a fair trial and that he would advise him as to his constiutionaL rights. Chaplain then took the stand. He stated that his name was Ralph W Chaplain. He came to Alliance e ties were guilty and that they could appeal to the district court by putting up bonds of $300 each. In the ab sence of an appeal with bonds, they were remanded to the county Jail for an indeterminate sentence, the length of the sentence to be decided on later by the court. And so. dear reader, closes a chap ter In the life of two misguided young people. Erring undoubtedly, yet not criminal in their intentions, mere creatures buffeted about on the waves of a relentless world, caught by the stern hand of Justice. They get their dues and in the meantime stalks through the town rumors and rumors of scandal in high life, scandal among well known people, stories which will not down and which, if they are true, will soon break forth into facts which may surprise some of the staid and respectable citiiens who have taken it for granted that the mere posses Ion of money, an automobile or nerve make respectability. Where there is much smoke, there must be some fire, which may at any time burst out into a conflagration that would cause more than scorched Angers and singed eyebrows. FOUR RANCH EMPLOYES HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Kimball, Neb. Four employes of the Circle Arrow ranch narrowly es caped death near here when a fast passenger train from the west hit the Ford car in which they were rid ing. The accident occurred at the crossing north of the east ranch house. Manager Winkleman and the men were on their way to work. Mr. Winkleman was in his car ahead and croaaed the crossing Just before a long freight train arrived from tbe east. Wm Yost, Dan Shea Jess Grium and Ed. Johnson were in the Yost car and did not arrive at the crossing in time to cross ahead of the freight. When the freight passed they started the Ford and arrived on the west bound track Just in time to be strwok by a fast passenger train. Not one of them was injured, which is little leas than a miracle. The Coming of a GREAT ENGINE 1 Makes High Power Out of Low Grade Gas- Men who drive cars are face to face with a condition that becomes more and more serious each day. That condition is . the constantly de clining grade of gasoline. Nearly every engineer has said goodby forever to high-grade gas. For the moment, and possibly for all time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced crankshafts, and little tricks with valves give way in engineers' discussions to the gas problem'. Every alert engineer is bending his utmost to make "one drop of gas now do the work of two". Just as great situations produce great men, so out of this condition has come a great engine. It is a Chalmers. It makes high power out of low grade gas. Compared with other engines of the same size or thereabouts, it snows: More power More rapid acceleration Greater economy Greater length of life Greater smoothness And an amazing ability to start quickly on a cold day, and to warm up" without delay. The Chalmers engine is a simple one. That is one reason why it is so good. In many engines of the moment the gas passes oa its way from the carburetor to the cvlinder througn a tunnel, which runs all the way through the engine block. Before the gas gets to the cvlinder it is forced to turn many sharp angles and does not become completely mixed with the air. This results in raw gas running into not only one but all the cylinders, particularly when the car is cold, and especially when running for the first five or ten miles. In the case of the Chalmers engine this type of intake manifold has been com pletely eliminated. A new manifold, termed "The Rams horn, " has been constructed of simple pip ing. It is on the exterior of the engine. It is a manifold of easy curves so that there are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge against and be pushed into the cylinders. The next development was to give the gas the proper amount of heat after it came from the carburetor. What is termed a "hot plate" is built in at the top of the throat of the carburetor so that the eas coming straight up from the car buretor hits the "hot plate", tne dimensions of which have been worked out very scien tifically, and then passes around the easy curves of the smooth manifold in a perfect state of mixture and at the proper tempera ture to each of the cylinders. The case of this Chalmers engine has been proved. 1. On August 1 and 2, Joe Dawson drove a Chalmers equipped with this same engine 1,898 miles in 24 hours faster and farther than anyone ever before had traveled on land, sea or air. If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it. 2. There are over 1,000 Chalmers containing this engine now in use. They check up past all expectations. Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor Company, has put its O. K. on this engine, and accordingly on the Chalmers car. 90 per cent of any automobile is the engine; and no car can be a bit better than its engine. So you are safe in writing your check for a Chalmers.
