Red Is in the lead SHE HAS PROCURED THE Nebraska faz V inter-State Reunion, Which will be held in lied Cloud .September 15, 16, 17 and 18. THE Cloud once more. and .- -.-j tt - j Kansas Children' Day Ahh Ike CkMrchcs. "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto tne," and "Ex cept je be converted, and become as little children, jc shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven," arc words of the Savior that indicate the impor tance of greater efforts to enlist child ren in His work and secure their per fect faith and pare innocence in ad vancing the interests of His king dom. The gratifying increase in Sunday school work and the gaining interest in "Children's Day" noticeable among all denominations, evidence a growing popular appreciation of children's power to do taliant work for Christ. Appropriate services were held in each of our city churohes Sunday, and amid singing birds and beautiful flow ers the children aided by older mem bers of each congregation carried out the programs of their respective Sun day schools in a manner creditable to themselves and entertaining to the crowds in attendance. The Congregational school used the morning hour, and under the Inscrip tion, worked in ovcigrocn, "Consider the Lillies," carried ont a beautiful service entitled "Our Sunday School." The soprano obligalto by Mrs. C. J. Pope and Miss F. Schaffnit in open ing anthem, tko recitation by class of five little girls, the rocttation by Miss Daisy Warren arid the story reading by C. L. Cotting scemod to bo no ticeable parts in a program that de serves especial mention for every part At tho close, Rev. E. L. Ely admin istered infant baptism to thoso little ones whom thoir parents desired to consecrate to the Lord's service In the evening the Pastor supplemented his sermon to the children with co pious blackboard exercises. The Christian .church gave the evening up to the children and a full house listened to their exercises. Su perintendent Willcox had chargo of the program and the success with which it was carried out reflects ample credit on his efforts, as well as on all who took part The solo by Miss Trix Mixer with organ and violin accom paniment by Miss Campbell and Mr. Tnad McNitt, and the duet by Pearl Skeen and Dora Henderson with guit ar accompaniment, were entitled to special mention. A crowded house also greeted the Baptist scheol in the cvining, and the simplicity of decoration and the sub dued tone in which the order of ser vice entitled ' Sunshine and Song" was carried out, were in harmony with the occasion, and indicated the directing oversight of their Pastor, Rev. J. D. Pulis. Except in opening exercises by Pastor and choir and responsive reading led by Superintendent Deyo, the children and youths carried on the services in a manner creditable to every one engaged. The recita tion by Eddie Emigh and the "Child rens Day Anthem" by chorus, iufant school, duet, 6olo, and class of march ing girls, appeared to be favorite parte with the audience. An afternoon serviec was held in the Mission Chapel under the super vision of the Methodist Church. The building is known as the Asbury Chapel, and a leading feature of the decoration was an A, composed of flowers and evergreens, reaching front the ceiling to tie alter rail. A crowded house attested their interest in the occasion. Rev. E. J. Baudall gave an interesting addrcs. The ladies wlia devised the progtam and worked untiringly for its suoccful rendition, and all who carried out its several parts mtv rest assured that i I then efforts arc appreciated bv the Methodist Pastor and alt present on that occasion. Space alone forbids an insertion of full programs and an appreciative amtioa of every part therein. T. J. Who say it does not rain in Ne braska.

Editor Chief: After many days I fulfill my promise of writing you, and will endeavor to give you as near as my poor command of the English language may permit my impression of Oregon. Everything in nature smiles and only man is vile. This is a country of short distances, the views are all close by and arc unfolding like the pages of an interesting book with something new every moment moun tain, hill, valley, vale, river and lake every moment something different and always beautiful. On the hillside and away up the mountain can be seen white cottages embowered with living green with orchards and vineyards nestling cozy and cool, an ideal home as it were in an ideal land. Tho peo ple and the country have a drowsy, sleepy look. One would judge that the loves and hates of the people liv ing hero were not so intense as they are in a less favored climate, that man would be more just to his fellow men that there would be less cause for bickerings and strife. Perhaps there is; but a change is coming, nay, even now is here. In tho language of the poet Behind the squaw's light birch canoe, The steamer rocks and raves, And city lots are staked for sale Above old Indian graves. I hear the tread of Pioneers, Of nations yet to be, The first low wash of waves Where soon shall roll a human sea. The rudiments of empire here Are plastic yet and warm, The chaos of a mighty world Is rounding into form." 'Yes, is rounding into form The poet may not havo been a prophet or the son of a prophet, but seldom has more truth been condensed in the same space in the English language than in those verses. The squaw's light birch canoe is almost a thing of the past. The steamer is here in all its beauty and seems almost a thing of life And not only arc city lots staked for sale but are sold and the city is built and is building on and over the old Indian mounds, and they arc still stak ing, still selling, and still building on, over and above that low green curtain of the tent of the dead, whose flap never outward swings. Tho pioneers are here. 'The first low wash of waves has deepened until it has be come a steady roar, and the sound of the ax and the hammer, the saw and the plane, the plow and the harrow, the seeder and the reaper, the anvil and the loom, the mill and the factory are all joining in with the bells of the schools and churches, and the whistle and rumble and roar of the railroads, and truly the human sea is beginning to surge and roll. The rudiments of empire arc not so plastic as they were, tho chaos 'is rounding into form.' The chances are not so good as they were, but this country is just awakening from the sleep of ages and lucky will be the man that gets somewhere near the front of the procession. About one man in four is engaged in farming The crops never fail and if they did there is a grat many other things to depend on for a living. There is plenty of hard work here and a good opening for men of muscle who are not afraid to use it; but there is a poor chance for a man who wants to live by his wits. There are graduates from our best eastern colleges ont of employment because the demand is not equal to the supply. But to a man who has some money or is able and willing to work and 'wants to avoid the cold weather and winds and blinards and the heat and dust of the prairie states I think this would be the place for him. There is a great many here from Nebraska and Kansas and the most of them arc here to stay. Respectfully yours, Oliver R.

In PoUdam town ship about f.'lUJ has been paid out the lxt year for pauper purpoes, and wc take this position that if there was a poor farm where thce people could be sent in their dire extremity, there would be more activity oa their parts to shan the prospects.
