Omaha Minister Preaches in Some Historic Churches While on Vacation Rev. L. Groh, pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran church, preached in two very old and historic churches dur- ing a five weceks' trip to Pennsylvania, from which he has just returned. One of these was an old church in Schaefferstown, Pa. Schaefferstown is a little place, seven miles from a railroad. Some of the houses are built of logs. Some of the people have lived there ninety vears and have never traveled ten miles away. The church was established in 1740. Dr. Groh attended there when he was a child. 1In the early days they had a little bell on each contribution basket and if any parishioner was asleep when the collection was taken up the bell was rung until he awoke. Dr. Groh also preached for some of his former members at the old Swamp church. This congregation was organized by Rev. Harry Mel- chior Muhlenburg very early in the eighteenth century and his church records, written partly in Latin, are still extant. Rev. Dr. Muhlenburg was one of the foremost patriots in the American colonies. The church is not very far from Valley Forge and was used as a hos- pital during the Revolutionary war Dr. Groh preached also at the old St. John's church, Boyertown, Pa, where he was pastor for twenty-five years, with a membership of over 1,000. Major Thomas L. Rhoades, United States army, now in charge of the United States hospital at Colon, and one of Dr. Groh's confirmants dur- ing his pastorate, was home on a vacation. Dr. Rhoades is a surgeon in the army and operated on William H. Taft in the Philippines and after- wards became Taft's military aide fol- lowing the death of Archie Butts on the Titanic. Smafi Towns Fear Bandit Who Held Up Florence Bank Complaints from the vicinity of Springfield that houses were being broken into by a man suspected of be- | ing the gentlemanly bandit who held | up and robbed the Florence bank, | sent deputy sheriffs scurrying to the scene, Reports are being received at the sheriff's office from towns through- out the surrounding territory telling | of the believed activities of the “Gen- tleman Bandit” in innumerable local- | ties. Post cards giving the description of the robber have been sent to all of- ficers and other interested parties in lowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska and the Dakotas from the sheriff's office. Milwaukee May Name Crack Train Ak-Sar-Ben Another effort is to be made to have the Milwaukee's crack train between Omaha and Chicago named the “Ak- Sar-Ben Limited.” About a year ago the attention of the officials in Chicago was drawn to the fact that of all the names for the Omaha-Chicago night train, that of Ak-Sar-Ben would be the most ap- propriate. Local Milwaukee men argue that the other crack trains of the system— the Pioneer Limited, Southwest Limi- ted, Olympian, Columbian—are ex- pressive of the territories they trav- RUPTURE EXPERT HERE Seeley, Who Has Supplied U.

Cannot Tell Red from Gréen And Would Join the Navy The most color blind, or the color blindest man that Lieutenant W. W, Waddell of the navy recruiting sta- tion ever saw applied for enlistment. He had absolutely no sense of color, Given a skein of bright red yarn and told to select other skeins of the same color from a basket, he picked yellow, green, brown and purple ones, but none that matched the red one. He | was Harry Beam of Birmingham, Ala., and, of course, he didn't get into the navy. PAVERSGIVENEW | EXCUSE FOR DELAY C. W. Hull Says There is Short- age of Both Cement and Stone. CONTRACTORS GIVEN WEEK | “There’s another alibi,” declared City Commissigner Hummel when C. | W. Hull appeared before the city. council to explain the paving situation from the standpoint of a material man. | Mr. Hummel opened up the paving | situation anew and announced he would give the contractor in Miller | park district just one more week in, which to show signs of life. 1 Mr. Hull explained there is a short- age of cement.and crushed stone, due Iarge!y to lack of railroad equipment at this time. He said a stone mill at Lake View, Ia, broke down and new | machinery could not be secured for repairs, thus causing a delay. 'Commrssxone.rs Hummel and Jar- d:pe were appointed as a special com- mittee to “see what can be done to arouse the paving contractors.” “It is high time that the city coun- cil takes some notice of irresponsible paving contractors and in the future mvite bids from contractors out of the city to compete with these local men who are favoring their contracts out- side of this city and slighting their| work here,” was another statement by Commissioner Hummel. Commissioner Jardine announced that the contractor on North Twenty- | fourth street actually had moved a| concrete mixer to this job. Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
