At the Presbyterian Church.
A large congregation greeted
Rev. L. W. Cade at the Presby
terian church at the opening of
the morning service yesterday.
The choir rendered two Easter
anthems and Mrs! Edna Eaton a
solo, aeoempanied by Miss Yerna
Colo, with pipe organ, and Mrs.
Will Troop with violin. The
violin in the skillful hands of
Mrs. Troop added much to the
pecial music.
Ilev. Hade delivered a short
Easter discourse, which was full
of hope and comfort to the believ
ers. Among other things Rev.
Ciade said: "Easier festival is the
largest observed of all the Chris
tian festivals on the calendar. It
brings into view the resurrection
of our Savior and through Him
the resurrection of the dead.
Church ritualism and church
formalism cannot, destroy the
powr of its value. The Cireek
church, the church of Rome and
all Protestant denominations join
in hailing the Redeemer's triumph
from the tomb. Jesus and the
resurrection has been Ihe glad
theme of preachers and worship
pers, poets and philosophers, for
nineteen hundred years. Easter
can never be forgotten for it cele
brates Christ's glorious resurrec
tion and complete triumph over
all the powers of death and hell.
Tt marks find's approval of the
sacrifice and alonemenl made on
Cajvary's cross. When we think
of Easier there comes the echo
to heaven and earth of Christ's
triumphant words, uttered in Ihe
darkest of earth's shadows, 'It is
finished.' "
.Ulor a clear and convincing
presentation of the proofs of
Christ's resurrection. Rev. fiade
said: "Over the arched gateway
to one of our great cemeteries in
the easl is inscribed the words
Tnlil Ihe daybreak and th
shadows flee away.' How fitting
are I nose wonts to us who (Mm
in and lay our beloved dead from
sight, and go our way to rejoice
in a glorious resurrection. The
risen Christ keeps us. He lead
us through life's dusty way when
it is dim nnd dark; He carries us
across earth's deepest chasms
He holds our hand that our foot
steps slip not, and He rests us to
leep the sleep that men, call
ealh nnd keeps us 'until Ihe
daybreak and Ihe shadows flee
away.' In the resurrection of
Christ is the hope of our resur
rection and reunion with our
friends. Our nnd her, our father,
our brothers and sisters went out
from us on that long-distant af
ternoon. They went into the
shadows, and in the hope of
Easter morning, I ask you, was it
death or dawn? When you visit
that loved spot, where the grass
grows refreshingly green in the
springtime, across which sweeps
the summer zephyrs, and where
you delight to plant sweet flowers,
when you visit that spot, I fancy
there comes to you the blessed
thought:
lien I go Homo I hope to see
A little face look up nt me,
Unchanged from what il used to
be;
When I go homo,'
"Easter gives this greeting
lighl."
At the close of the sermon two
young men were received into the
church, alter winch the sacra
ment of the Lord's Supper was
observed.
The Assessor of Rock Bluffs
Precinct Has a Joy Ride
Not Antipicated.
As the assesor of Rock Mutt's
precinct was making his rounds
listing the personal belongings
and chattels of the citizens of his
precinct last week in his single
buggy and behind his trusty gray-
nag, he unexpectedly took a joy
ride which he had not counted on.
As the assessor was descend
ing one of the gentle slopes which
abound in the eastern part of the
precinct, the bit in the mouth of
bis foaming charger gave way and
left nothing with which the
officer could check its speed. The
buggy and the assessor crowded
down upon the mare, and the
faster she went the more fright
ened she became, and at the 11 r
farm house passed she turned in
and nearly ran over the lady of
the house. Nothing seemed to
check the frightened animal, and
on she sped until she came in col
lision wilh the pig pen, into which
the gray, wilh the buggy and
driver still intact, plunged, and
where she was stopped.
There was, no particular dam
age done, unless to the feelings of
the joy rider himself, as nothing
as broken but the bridle bit.

Judge J. W. Johnson, in con
ersalion with the writer this
morning, slated that lllty-lour

across the slate of Iowa, and he,
with two companions, named Rus

within the next three days after
landing. on this side of the river,
went a few miles out west of

Judge Johnson remembers the

year of the panic of 1K57, when
banks everywhere were going to

in sight to eat except grass. Mr

while Mr. Cox afterward removed

In the window of J. C. York's
barber shop this morning could
be seen n knapsack and powder
horn of ancient make. The knap
sack is of leather and on the fast
ening was a bronz disk tin which
is Ihe image of an American
eagle holding lliree arrows in one
of its talons and an olive branch
in the other. In the pocket was
a brass bell and an ornament
containing the same design. The
relic was brought In Mr. York's
shop by a Mr. Ilaker, who told its
history in part, statin'-' that il had
been snatched from Ihe body of
a dead Indian by h man named
Hales during, an engagement, of
the Revolutionary war, and by
Hales carried into a fort.

Manager R. M. Schlaes of the
Majestic is contemplating making
quite a lot of improvements at his
popular theater. The front wj"
he repainted, Mr. Frank (lohel-
man doing the job.
In addition to this, Mr. Schlaes
has let to Mr. M. M. Heal the con
tract for painting the lobby and
frescoing the ceiling and papering
the side walls, as well as the
auditorium, which will be re
painted, ropaporod and the ceil
ing frescoed. Mr. Schlaes will not
stop with this, but will procure
rubber carpet for Ihe aisles and
the lobby and the front will bo
lighted with a large arc light in
the center of Ihe lobby or two
smaller incandescents in each
window.
No expense will be spared to
make an artistic and inviting
room, where the public can go
and enjoy its evenings. The
work on these improvements will
be commenced right away and
pushed as rapidly as possible.
There is nothing loo good for the
patrons of Ihe Majestic, is the
way of Mr. Schlaes' thinking.
