Lajrt Sabbath, wallet ik ta my accus
tomed placa of worship, while yet at a
distance I heard th notes of an aria, clear
and sweet aa a flute. Through the open
window it came, wafted on the breexe,
faint, then stronger, soaring btrdJlk In a
Clad song of adoration at one aa erlson
and a benediction.
When seated in my paw and the nuth
of prayer fell upon th congregation, those
rapturoua strains till rang in my ears,
drowning th role of the minister Into a
dull monotone, conducive to revert. In
plrtt I went back t a little town in In
diana, where forty years ago I, too, "be
longed t th choir." '
Then aur sopranos, and for that matter
all our singers, were those whom nature
andowed, wh knew little of art, and were
wholly untrained, except such as tha wan
dering singing teacher of the "do-ra-me"
period sometimes made available,
InanUelty tae Rale.
No pipe organ 'trembled plaintively or
thundered rapturously in voluntary and
accompaniment. A modest "Eety" was
played by a young girl, whoa accom
plishment waa then above th average,
because aha could read muslo at sight
Oh, how primitive and antiquated that
singing would appear at this day, theugh
very on thought it beautiful and above
criticism then. Th lack of artlstlo finish
waa net missed from those grand old an
thems and hymns, so dear to th worship
ing hearts of all, Christians since tha day
of Luther and Melanchthon. No operatic i
solos nor present day gospel songs could
have been acceptably substituted. a
But there was at least ona charm un
known In tha present dispensation of
choirs. There was no pecuniary compen
sation connected therewith. Each one
gave hi or her services for "the cause"
and becaus It was a matter of conscience
and duty; cold, heat nor storm never In
terfered. The Saturday night rehearsals
were as religiously observed as though the
treasurer's check were to follow each time.
For many years that old choir hung to
gether. Tha proverbial squabble and Jeal
ousies were unknown there. Friendships
grew warmer as rears went on, and now
that ail are scattered, and some of them
gone to the homeland, about which they
had so often sung, stlU they are remem
bered and cherished by others who are
still on th way.

old-fashioned Instrument which once did
duty at one end of tha audience room was
supplanted by a pip organ at the other.
It was "presided over" and manipulated
by a graduate from the Boston Conserva
tory of Music Th soprano warbled at so
much per warble, and from the simple,
unpretending old choir a most astonishing
volution had evolved.
I wondered, as I listened, did th fathers

The promoters of th farmers' Independ

large terminal elevator In Omaha Just as
soon as arrangements eaa be completed
with th railroad companies and th bei
anos of th capital which la necessary can
be raised.. C. Vincent, publisher of the

undertaking and be reports that th prin

.Mr. Vincent has aa appointment with
several railroad officials to meet him her
next week for consultation regarding th
settlement Of details.
"About on year ago th establishment
f a terminal elevator was agitated.. among
tha farmers who were stockholders In
local elevators throughout th state, but
at that dm there was no grain market In
this olty," said a friend of th enterprise.
"Mr. Vincent took th matter up and out
lined, a plan whereby a grain market
could be established In Omaha. Shortly
afterward President Stlckney of th Oreat
Western cam her and mad rates which
brought about, the organisation of th
Grain exchange. BInce that time th last
bjectloa to the establishment of a ter
minal elevator In this city by th farmers
has been removed. There are about thirty
Independent farmers' elevators in Ne
braska, and almost all of them hav .sig
nified their willingness to subscribe to a
fund for building a receiving elevator In
this city.

"New local elevator companies are being
rapidly organised la various parts of the

Paul Thursday. Sixteen farmers were pres
ent at th organisation meeting and they
subscribed for U.B00 worth of stock In the
enterprise and pledged themselves to rata
M,000 within th next few days. All of th
members seemed to think that a terminal
elevator In this city Is what Is needed. to
complete th plan for th farmer to mar
ket bis own grain,
."The independent elevators In this Stat
paid !3V per cent on th Investment last
year, and th owners are very enthusiastic
concerning the outlook for th future of
the business. The elevater to be built In
this city probably will be of about 100,000
bushels capacity and It will be erected In
such form that It eaa be trcreased In sise
