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

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.

this church today. It has not fal

makes no effort to bring its state

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.
