There were 21 auto mobiles in the contest, nnd about 81 people, they having spent last Tuesday night in this city. The race covered a distance of about CoO miles, aud all the participants are loud in their praise of Nebraska roads, as well as the treatmeut which they received at every stop. However ow ing to the excessive heat, it was a hard race both for the driver and car. Mr. Huff is highly elated over his victory and says his success was dun to the wonderful cooling efficiency of bis motor, he receiving no penalty on aocount of being compelled to replen ish his Bupply of water In the radiator, between the 100 mile patrols. We have ever held to the opinion that the Buick was an A 1 car, and no doubt, our friend John Havel, who is agent for them here, and who, by the way, has never overlooked an op portunity to tell of the wonderful ad vantages of this said Buick "Model 31," is likewise pleased over Mr. II tiff's victory.

More of town in a log shack. lie siiu.se- thrill mont cleivj man, his llfer "duiiti" his shoi.t stay among us, has been con secrated to bilnging the gospel to the poor. He has not insisted upon the poor being brought to him, but he 1ms gone out after them. He has not in sisted on the prisoners being producer before hiin, but he lias gone to the prison. He bus visited tho jail of this county more, possibly, than all the mlulsters who have been in lied Cloud, and lie has been the means, under heaven, of setting more feet on the upward way than most of the clergy meu of the city. He has apparently tried to fulfill literally the gospel in junction, of visiting the prisons. There is no doubt that he has won the respect of those outside the church for his genuine work in uplifting the Uvea of the downcast and defeated. He has come to W looked upon, in a special manner, aa the friend of the weak and the fallen. Discouragements have met bit efforts again and again, but ue has persisted with a noble dis regard of failure, and be has appar ently been successful where none have heretofore hoped for success He-is a good example of the faith that comes by works, of the rlchuess of human sympathy 'acquired by re peated practice of the enlargement of spiritual manhood by cobstant exer cise. Red Cloud will miss him very much when he leaves us. He has taught us in a measure to roly on tho preacher lu the extension of our interest iu others, iu the expansion of our sympa thies for others, He has taught us this by leading the way and asking us to follow where he led. We have been so acoustomed to beiug told what to do without auy leadership us to time and place of doing, that the words of advice and Instruction have lost their meaning. Our preachers seem too willing to be commanding generals of armies with headquarters In tho rear of tho battle field, the library or the pulpit, that It is refreshing to follow a captain or colonel who takes his plhco in front of the battle line and savs "Come on" instead of "Go on". Mr. Cole always said, "Come, men," wheic others simply said, "Uo, men". His sermon was sotnollilng iu tho nature of a farewell talk. Wo are of thoso who are vory sorry to miss him. We regret that his church could not keep him. It will be a long time he roic his church will obtain a minister who appealed so strongly to tho people out side of the membership ol tho churches. We trust that iu tho Held to which ho Is to removo, ho may bo nblo to ac complish as much good, as It was possible for him to uceompllsh hero in lied Cloud, but wc doubt It. How ever, he will do good work wheio ever ho may be, because he has tho fight spirit In him. Mrs. W. L. Wecsner has been on the sick list thU week. .Time Brings Many Changes It was the boat of Ira Sleeper, tho 'hM blacksmith of Ucd Cloud, that ho ha-' roofed In more building than any man in obster county. This was be foie the day of big bums, He pointed to the lesldence, stneo re-built, of Mr. McArthur, the building formerly oc cupied by Dr. Howies, lately removed from thu coruor of Poplar stieet find I'oiirth Avenue to make room for the new McP.irhiud structure, th old blacksmith shop just temoved to make loom for tho new building which Mr. Hall is electing, and '.he Overlng building noi Hi of the livery stable. Mr. Sleeper bote the lupiitatloii ol 1 ta'ii'U U'S't class blacksmith, with the tools and conveniences of u half century ago, btlorc ga-ollue engines lenlly purchased the quarter block hunting on Ifotirth Avenue and Cedar street. lie erected the dwell ing house iu lSTi, or spiltif,' ol 1-.7I, tho blacksmith shop a shot) time be foie. The blacksmith shop has been added to, yet tho old building was still there, and Mr. Hall has removed considerable dimension stuff of cot tou wood, sawed out in the old saw mill of J. (J. Potter. If I til should come buck to lied Cloud next Octobor, he would be lost. The Overlng building which stood so long us the only brick on the east side of Webster street, is now the last of a solid block of brick. The McArthur residence bears uo resemblauue to the structure Sleeper left on tho site. The Mc Far laud buildings cover the site of the residence, aud the Hall cement block structure with its handsome Crick front will replace the homely sheds that disfigured that corner of the block. Mr. Hall may be a better blacksmith than Sleeper was; he cer tainly is building a finer building than Sleeper ever built; but he does not compare with Ira iu the readiness to blow bis owu horn, and the delight with which he listens to its tootlogs. Very uolsolessly, Mr. Hall has been quietly and industriously making cemeut blocks since the curly part of May, and piling them ou the rear of his lots. Whcu he got his blocks made, be began trenching In front of his shop aud laid a good cement foundation. Then he begun taking down the frame of the old structures, uud replacing it with the wulls of u substantial, commodious uud hand some building, which, so far as out side appearance goes, would be credit able housing for udry goods establish ment or a bank, Iu us much as Mr. Hull has been so reticent uboutthe affair, the Chief ro- gards It us Its duty, to suy a good word about his enterprise aud skill, add commeiid his example to tho rest of the community.
