Under the British financial system that

impose an export tax on gold whenever
there appears to be a movement of enough

Kingdom to embarrass the capitalists of

might not be amiss to borrow tfce idea for
use in the United States and make it cost
something to take gold across the atlantic

WITH APPROPRIATE CEREMONIES
The Corner Stone of Mcpook’s A.
U. U. W. Temple is Laid.
There was quite a large gathering from
adjoining towns, surrounding country,
and of our home folks, at the laying of the
corner stone of the A. 0. U. W. temple
of our city, Monday afternoon.
Promptly at 2:30 the procession of
Workmen, headed ’by their excellent
band, marched from their hall to the
corner of Main and Dennison streets,
where the temple which will be a source
of pride to our city, is now under way,
and where the ceremonies were held.
Foreman A. F. Moore opened the ex
ercises with a paper containing a concise
but complete history of McCook lodge j
No. 61, and of the inception and progress
of the splendid temple project. It is a
history of which its members as well as
all our citizens may well feel proud; and
is an earnest of the final and gratifying
success of this magnificent enterprise.
At the conclusion of Mr. Moore’s re
marks occurred the formal laying of the
corner stone under the d;rection of Grand
Master Workman Tate. The corner stone
contains the constitution and laws of
the grand lodge, the by-laws of McCook
lodge, various badges and blanks of the
order, the history of the local lodge,
copies of the several city newspaper, etc.
I his interesting ceremony completed,
the assembly had the distinct pleasure
of listening to one of Grand Master
Workman Tate’s addresses. It was in
his most felicitous vein, and called
forth repeated evidences of appreciation;
touching upon the history and aim of
the noble order he so nobly 'represents,
with occasional local observations and
congratulations concerning the McCook
lodge and her temple. This terminated
the exercises of the day, and the people
dispersed to meet several hours later in
the opera hall in enthusiastic numbers
to participate in the closing feature of
the happy event, the grand ball given
under the auspices of lodge 61. This
was in every essential a marked success
and a source of much unallayed pleasure.
The music of the day and evening was
furnished by the splendid band and or
chestra of the order.
It was indeed a red letter day for the
Workmen of Southwestern Nebraska. A
day which will only be excelled in point
of rejoicing and satisfaction when the
temple is completed and the dedication
services are duly celebrated. To this
day all loyal Workmen look forward
with pleasant anticipations.
(October 27th will be celebrated the
25th anniversary of the founding of the
order, and the building committee hope
to have the temple ready for dedication
at that time, which will be celebrated
throughout the land with all possible
eclat.) .
Better Sunday School Methods.
The question of Sunday-school methods
is being agitated this year in a way so
determined and aggressive that it is ex
tremely probable the International Con
vention which meets in St. Louis, this
fall, will materially change the system.
The opposition to the International
Lessons is one which has been growing
irrespective of denomination, for several
years past, and among many of the
schools these lessons have been entirely
discarded as being unsuited to their
needs.
The cause of this revolt upon the part
of the more enterprising schools is not
far to seek. In the first place, it is wrong
in theory. The real difficulty lies in the
principle upon which the lessons are sel
ected; it is not educational, but hortatory.
The lessons are selected almost invariably
with reference to their “practical applica
tions” rather than with reference to the
general course of history or general state
ments of doctrine, with which they are
connected. This method it must.be ad
mitted, while perhaps it applies with ex.
cellent advantage to mission schools, is
not one that satisfies the educational
needs of our regular established Sunday
schools and herein lies the reason why
more interest is not taken in the schools
by the older folks.
In the second place it has to devorce
the Bible from the schools. We must
not forget, that the principal thing in
Bible study is to study the Bible,and that
the Sunday-school is the place for this
study. Whatever tends to substitute
anything else for that, becomes a hind
erance rather than a help and that the
scholar now studies, not the Bible itself,
but the many opinions of the commen
tators, as expressed in the Lesson helps.
They rarely look at their Bible with a view
to having light thrown upon the lesson.
Some system is needed then that cor
rects these obvious evils, and which re
1 cognizes this fact, viz., that a comprehen
sive general acquaintance with the Bible
as a whole, especially in relation to the
person and work of Christ,should precede
a study of its minute and individual parts.
This better method has been found in the
Blakslee Graded Lessons on the Life of
Christ.
Sunday morning, Aug. 20th, this
method will be introduced in the Baptist
Sunday School in the Lutheran Church
and a cordial invitation is extended all,
who, being dissatisfied with present
methods, desire something better.
Handsome souveniors will be distribut
ed to all in attendance that day.

Be on your Guard.
If some grocers urge another baking
powder upon you in place of the “ Royal,”
it is because of the greater profit upon it.
This of itself is evidence of the supe
riority of the Royal.” To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost
powder, and to cost less it must be made
with.cheaper and inferior materials, and
thus, though selling for the same, give
less value to the consumer.
To insure the finest cake, the most
wholesome food, be sure that no substi
tute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted
by you.
Nothing can be substituted for
the Royal Baking Powder
and give as good results.
