COP CALLED DOWN LIFTING LIFTING State Historical Society $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy CO LODGE A PROTEST WITH GOV. McKELVIE ON BOXING RULING Colored Delegation from Omaha Calls on Governor to Complain of Race Discrimination Against Black Boxers in Nebraska ANY JIM CROW LAW UNFAIR Want Act Prohibiting Fistic Encounters Between White and Colored Fighters Repealed—Not Defending Jack Johnson. Complaint of race discrimination against negro boxers in Nebraska was made to Governor McKelvie on Thursday forenoon by a delegation of four colored men from Omaha who called at his office to protest and ask for the abolition of Rule No. 8 of the regulations promulgated by Public Welfare Secretary Antles and Athletic Commissioner Doyle, which forbids mixed bouts between whites and blacks. Dr. L. E. Britt, Dr. C. H. Singleton, Rev. F. J. Bryant, and H. W. Black, the latter an employee of the Omaha postoffice, were in the party that saw the governor. Athletic Commissioner Doyle, who came into the office about the same time, remained and took part in the interview. He heard what the delegation had to say and discussing the matter with them, Governor McKelvie announced that he would take no action until he had conferred with some of the leading sportsmen in Nebraska. He complimented his callers for presenting their grievance in a courteous and orderly way. Not Taking Jack Johnson's Part "This complaint has to do with the athletic commissioner's order barring Jack Johnson from the state," Mr. Black stated to newspaper men. "We understand that order was based on a criminal charge against Johnson, and not for his color. "What we are protesting against is the rule which prohibits any licensed club from staging a mixed bout, where one of the contestants is white and the other colored. This is unfair, un-American and contrary to the federal and state constitutions. It denies the right to colored men to enter a competition on fair and equal terms with others. It closes the door of opportunity to our race, and we desire to have it expunged." The delegation appeared on behalf of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People. Its members told the governor that New York and Michigan, which formerly had a similar rule, have wiped it out and now permit mixed bouts. Jack Taylor, a colored man who is one of Jack Dempsey's training corps, tried to get some matches at Omaha, they said, and promoters there were willing to put him on, but under the existing state regulations, no athletic club could permit him to go against a white man. Why Rule Was Adopted Athletic Commissioner Doyle denied that there is any purpose on the part of the state authorities to discriminate, but said Rule No. 8 was adopted for good and sufficient reasons drawn from the experience of other communities. "At the time these rules were put into effect a year ago," said Doyle, "there had been some serious race troubles in different sections, and it was feared that mixed boxing matches would tend to the same thing here. Following the fight between Johnson and Jeffries some years ago, race riots broke out in five states. We want to get along in Nebraska without anything of that sort." The colored men called attention to the fact that only Negroes are barred, while Japs, Indians, Mexicans, and others are allowed to take part in contests. No request was made for a club permit to hold boxing exhibitions. The complainants said all they were asking for is the right to have boxers of their own race compete with white men at any licensed club. Omaha has one colored organization which holds a state license. Its events, of course, are restricted to members of its own race. —Lincoln Star, Thursday, August 17th. ```markdown ``` THE MONITOR YOUTH IS SAVED FROM WHITE MOB BY SHEEFF'S RUSE Riot Guns and Bravery of White Officer Prevents an Outrage in Oklahoma. Vinita, Okla., Aug. 25.—Riot guns unleashed and ready for instant use coupled with the unswerving sense of duty and bravery of Sheriff Ridenour, prevented a lynching here last week, when Elias Ridge, 18-year-old colored youth, held in connection with the killing of a white woman, sauntered through the crowd which was hoarsely demanding his life, and sped away to safety in an automobile. It was not until hours later that the crowd discovered that they had been the victim of a ruse. Explains Details. When members of the mob entered the jail here on invitation of Sheriff Ridenour to "see for themselves that he was not there," Ridge was standing behind the door which was opened to admit them. When the searches had passed into the building, Ridge, a straw hat pulled over his eyes, sauntered out with two deputy sheriffs, walking unconcernedly near him. Three blocks down the street they entered a motor car and sped to Claremore where the prisoner was placed in the Rogers county jail. HOLD PHYSICIAN ON OPERATION CHARGES Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 25.—A bombshell was exploded in the midst of Memphis' most exclusive social set last week when Arthur E. Kennedy, prominent physician was arrested on charges involving illegal operations on white women. Two Women Arrested. Two of the white women, whose names have not been revealed, and F. A. Moore, colored house physician at the Jane Terrill hospital, a colored institution, were also arrested. Dr. Kennedy according to the police, is said to have admitted the charges, while Moore admitted assisting Kennedy. It is claimed that disclosures of a sensational nature and involving some of the most socially prominent families in this city will be brought to light when the case comes to trial. COMPLAINT AGAINST OFFICER DISMISSED The complaint filed by James Banks against Police Officer Prophet H. Jenkins charging him with assault was dismissed by the City Council Monday morning. Banks did not appear. OUR SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN OPENS The Monitor Offers Hadnsome and Valuable Premiums Which Any Wide-Awake Person Can Easily Secure.

Mrs. Wakefield offered to pay Mrs. Rodney Kendrick, an invalid, the sum of $100 a month for the remainder of her life, and to support her 18-month baby if she would divorce Kendrick, a newspaper artist.

C., Aug. 25.—A delegation of women announced after a visit to the White House that President Harding had promised to urge final congressional action on the Dyer anti-lynching bill as soon as consideration of the tariff and bonus measures is completed. He is said to have expressed doubt, however, whether passage of the anti-lynching bill would be possible at this session of congress. The women also called on Senator Lodge form Massachusetts, the republican senate leader, and Senator Shortridge, republican, California, chairman of the commission which recently reported the bill, and declared they received from them a pledge for prompt action. The delegation represented the National Association of Negro Women. KANSAS CITY EDITOR VISTS OMHA FRIENDS Chester A. Franklin, a former Omaha boy of whom his friends are proud but now a successful business man of Kansas City, Mo., being the proprietor of a large and well-equipped printing plant and editor of The Call, Kansas City's leading weekly newspaper, was an Omaha visitor Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Franklin, at the age of sixteen, graduated from the Omaha Central High School, where he made an enviable record in scholarship. His university career was cut short at the close of his freshman year by the illness of his father, the late George F. Franklin, editor of the Enterprise, which compelled the family's removal to Denver, where his father's protracted illness and death threw a heavy burden upon the youth's shoulders, which he manfully assumed. He successfully conducted a printing business in Denver, removing subsequently to Kansas City, where by dint of hard work, honorable dealing and a efficient service he has built up a substantial business. Within a few weeks he will move his printing plant and the office of The Call into his own building in a valuable location on Eighteenth street. Among many pleasant features of Mr. Franklin's visit to Omaha was a delightful interview with one of his former High School teachers, Miss Kate A. McHugh, who was an inspiration to him during his school career. Chester is six feet of clean, strong, forceful manhood, a type which is a valuable asset to our people. May their number multiply. While here he was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Singleton and a hasty but welcome visitor in the homes of many old friends. aska Civil Right of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska ORDER TO CHECK LAWLESS BAND IS ORGANIZED American Unity League to Oppose All Candidates Supported by Ku Klux Klan In Coming Fall Elections. BISHOP FALLOWS AT HEAD Chicago, Ill., Aug. 25.—Branding the Ku Klux Klan as a menace to religious freedom and a source of danger to all true Americans, regardless of race, creed or condition of life, Bishop Samuel Fallows, honorary chairman of the American Unity League, an organization having as its aim a nation-wide effort to curb the activities of the Ku Klux Klan, showed himself in hearty accord with the movement, here last week, and promised to leave no stone unturned to effectively check the "hooded hoodlums of the night." In a telegram sent to the Unity League in response to the notice of his nomination, Bishop Fallows sent the following telegram from California: "The Ku Klux Klan is a menace to religious freedom, a source of danger to the state and its growing strength should be curbed through the united efforts of all true Americans, regardless of creed, race or condition of life." DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart, wife of the Rev. N. E. Stewart, a Baptist minister, who recently left for Africa, passed away at the home of her brother, R. Dewey Allen, 1509 North Twenty-second street, last Wednesday. Mrs. Stewart, who was the daughter of the late Robert J. and Mary J. Allen, was born in Canada and reared at Overton, Neb. She was married to Granville T. Jackson, who died some years ago. Subsequently she was married to Mr. Stewart. Some months ago she had a paralytic stroke. On her way from services Sunday, August 13, she had another stroke, from which she never regained consciousness. The funeral was held last Saturday from St. John's A. M. E. church, where she had been a Sunday school teacher and class leader for many years. The Rev. W. C. Williams officiated. Interment was at Forest Lawn. The deceased is survived by her husband, three brothers, George, Robert Dewey, and Hunley Allen, all of Omaha; a sister, Mrs. Julia A. Collier of California, and several nieces, nephews and other relatives. Dr. R. A. Williams, Supreme President and Founder of the Royal Circle, will be in Omaha the week of the 11th of September to organize a Triangle Council in this city and with the Executive Committee to look after business matters pertaining to the Circles in the city. During his stay here an address will be made by him at some church to be named later. The Local Circles are planning a big week for the Supreme President and Executive Committee, consisting of an outing at Krug Park on either the 11th or 12th, in connection with the celebration given by St. John's Church, a banquet, etc. The Royal Circle is just 15 years old and is doing more for the Race than any other organization in the country, and is increasing its membership and financial standing at such a fast rate that no other will ever be able to cope with it. It gives its members now more than any other order or insurance company, for the amount paid in. Every loyal Colored man, woman and child should be a member of it, as it is strictly a race order and benefits the whole and not a few. Investigate and join now. For information see Supreme Supervisor A. L. Richmond, 1516½ North 24th. Phone Webster 3567, or see any member. All Circle matter, both local and national, will be found each week in a column of The Monitor. ROYAL CIRCLE MAKES CLASS OF 264 CIDATIDES Supreme Supervisor A. L.

OMAHA DELEGATION ATTENDS GRAND LODGE A delegation numbering twelve, representing lodges Nos. 4 and 9 of Omaha, attended the annual grand lodge of the Daughters of Bethel which met in Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 16-18.

TAKES FIRST VACATION IN MANY YEARS Dillard Simpson, the popular club and hotel man, generally known as "Cap" Simpson, left Monday night on his first real vacation for many years for an extensive southern trip. Mr. Simpson, who has occupied the position of headwaiter in several of the leading hotels and clubs in Omaha, but who lately has been on the information stand of the Athletic Club where his intelligence and courtesy have been appreciated by both employers and guests, will go first to St. Louis and thence to points in Georgia spending most of his time at his old home in Atlanta. He expects to be absent about a month.

GROWING THANK YOU No. 8 Whole Number 372 WN COUNCIL SUSTAINS CHARGES AGAINST OFFICER ZICH Policeman Who Mistreated Colored Physician Is Found Gullity of Conduct Unbecoming an Officer. ZIMMAN SCORES POLICEMAN Police Commissioner Dunn Requests Time to Consider Punishment Which He Will Recommend Butler Dissents. By unanimous vote the city council on Tuesday morning sustained the charges filed by Dr. A. L. Hawkins against Policeman Joseph Zich, and found him guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer. Police Commissioner Dunn requested further time to consider the penalty he would recommend. Commissioner Butler dissented, stating that the evidence was before the council and there was no need of delay. He voted "No" on the request for delay. Before the vote was taken Commissioner Zimman voiced his indignation at the treatment Dr. Hawkins had received. He said that Dr. Hawkins, when he found that his automobile was blocked by another car, acted with commendable judgement in telephoning the police station for an officer to extricate his car. Rightly assuming that had he tried to remove the blocking car suspicion might be cast upon him, he did the wise and sensible thing. He was entitled to courteous treatment. The evidence disclosed that he had not received it, but upon the contrary had been insulted by this officer to whom he politely appealed for assistance and who arrested him simply for trying to get his number. Five years on the police force had evidently not taught this officer good manners and he ought to be discharged. The evidence disclosed that on August 9th Dr. Hawkins had parked his car on Farnam near Thirteenth street. Upon returning he found the car blocked by another car. He telephoned the station for relief. Seeing Patrolman Zich approaching and thinking he was the officer sent, Dr. Hawkins accosted him and told him his trouble. "Do you see porter on my cap?" said Zich. "What do you want me to do?" "I've already told you, sir," replied the doctor, "I cannot get into that car to remove it, and you being an officer I thought it was your duty to do so." Not much! What do you take me for? You can't find porter on my cap," said Zich. "You colored folks with white starched collars think you run the town. I'll knock some of that starch out of your collar." Seeing Dr. Hawkins looking at his badge, the officer said, "You're trying to look me over, are you? Well I'll take you to the station and give you a good chance to look me over." The patrolman arrested Dr. Hawkins and charged him with "interfering with an officer". The doctor signed a bond for his appearance. When the case was called Judge Foster promptly discharged Dr. Hawkins, who filed the charges which were heard Tuesday morning. Dr. Hawkins was ably represented by Attorney A. P. Scruggs and Patrolman Zich by John N. Baldwin. Several prominent citizens were present in the council chamber at the hearing. DEMOCRATIC CLUB FORMED The Nebraska Negro Democratic club was organized Thursday night at the office of County Committee-man A. Stuart, 2405 Seward street, with a membership roll of fifty. Harry Leland was elected chairman; Asa Oglesby, vice-chairman; R. B. Jones, financial secretary, and Jack Lewis, recording secretary. A CONVERSATION "Oh, isn't that silver chocolate set a beauty!

THE ASSOCIATED MEDIA PRESS MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE THE AMERICAN LEGION. The Monitor has been friendly and desires to be friendly towards the American Legion and we have urged eligible young men of our race to become actively identified with this organization. They have been somewhat reluctant to do so. Perhaps it is because they have reason to believe that the white legionairres are not sincerely friendly or fraternal. We are advised that the American Legion is directly responsible for the present boxing rule, forbidding "mixed bouts" in Nebraska. If this be true we can understand why colored ex-service men are unwilling to ally themselves with the American Legion, whose attitude in this respect is scarcely in keeping with any exalted standard of Americanism. The American Legion, in our opinion, should vindicate its ideals by taking decisive action in having this ruling repealed. Is the American Legion in Nebraska big enough and courageous enough to do this? We hope so. And furthermore we hope the American Legion will prove the one great national organization strong enough and catholic enough to weld American manhood, irrespective of racial descent or democratic brotherhood which will preserve all that is highest and best in American institutions from all destructive forces, internal and external, which threaten their perpetuity. Believing that it can be made this, despite narrowness which may obtrude here and there, we urge our eligible young men to identify themselves with and feel themselves a part of this organization. In the meantime we urge the Nebraska posts, composed of high-minded men, to come clean and stand four square against all unnecessary and irritating discrimination. THE BOXING RULING THE Monitor desires to congratulate the committee who waited upon Governor McKelvie last Thursday to respectfully protest against Nebraska's Jim-Crow boxing ruling, upon their able presentation of the case, so admirably and fairly reported by the Lincoln Star of that date. We reprint the Star's report verbatim in this issue. That the committee made a favorable impression cannot be doubted. The petition presented by the committee contains the names on Omaha's formest citizens of all shades of political belief and representing commercial, judicial and professional classes, showing that the ruling does not express the sentiment of this community. The ruling is unquestionably unfair, un-American and unconstitutional and should be expunged. Jim Crow laws and rules, which certain influences are moving heaven and earth to put across, altho tolerated, per force, in some sections, are directly violative of the constitution of the United States and are certainly out of place in such a progressive and fair-minded sate as Nebraska. The Monitor believes that Governor McKelvie will see to it that this ruling is changed. DEGENERACY A striking story of moral turpitude and low marital ideals comes from California, where with unblushing effrontery a wealthy female of the species offers an invalid wife $100 a month for life, if she will secure a divorce and permit the aforesaid female of wealth to have her divorced husband. The wealthy vamp confesses that she loves the invalid's husband and is willing to pay for him. Poor silly thing! She does not know what love means. She has a passion for this male, which she will as easily transfer to another who may catch her fancy later. And the particular male of the species which this female covets says he does not love his wife and of course is willing that the bargain should be made. If he had any manhood about him he would scorn the idea of deserting his invalid wife. ```markdown ``` INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged.

But the very thing proposed here discloses moral rottenness which every self-respecting man and woman should shun and abhor. It shows degeneracy of the lowest type. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY RED HERRIN So far nothing has been done about the lynching of a score or more of white men by white in Herrin, Ill. This ought to convince anybody that nothing will be done by local authorities and "states' rights" to protect black men against lynching in Georgia. And as long as lynching is tolerated by the nation in Georgia, it can be expected by the nation in all of its other parts. "Lynch him!" is the cry raised now in many a northern city, as soon as something happens to arouse the fire of the crowd. And yet, the southern senators pretend to think that lynching is only their business. Nothing but a federal law, vigorously enforced by a court and a jury not in local sympathy with the criminals, can save this country from this fascinating decline into anarchy. BASEBALL! This may be a new note in American racial life but the Chicago Enterprise believes in the new. We are considered the strongest physical people of earth and yet the white race that boasts itself too weak for physical labor but giants in mental labor, bars us from physical prowess competition. Today and henceforth the Chicago Enterprise challenges the white race in that field of athletics known as baseball. We believe that many of our teams can defeat the strongest white baseball teams on earth if the series are staged during the proper season and under the proper circumstances. If we cannot play on your teams, Anglo-Saxons (end that is a loss to yourself nine times out of ten), then be brave and fair enough to stand up against us in a world's baseball championship series. If not call your world's pennant team the "White World's Championship Team."—Chicago Enterprise. CLEAN DOORSTEPS (From the Pittsburgh Press.) In a local police court she stood a tawdry example of a wasted life. Apparently, unmindful, she told of having left her husband for another man, who was subsequently the father of her child, and later of marrying a third without the formality of a divorce. She had sinned against deceony, had outraged the conventions. But was she entirely without precedent? Do our standards of morality, of marriage, of home life make this case stand out as a horrible example, or do they lend a mitigating tinge to the complexion of the matter? The solution to such problems is not to be found in books or pink-tea lectures. It must be found in the hearts of men. There is a great element we need that we do not have—it is personal goodness. Virtue for virtue's sake. Goodness for the happiness it brings. Knowledge that loose living and its lures are false friends, bearing rich promise and barren realization. Is there anything in our lives that would furnish an extenuating circumstance for the unfortunate girl mentioned above? Our skeletons bared, could she point a finger at us and say, "They were as bad as I, but were not found out. I have not sinned alone." CARRAS Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. It is a contented people indeed, who, when their monarch would abdicate and make them free, insist that he still remain their ruler. Such an attempted abdication and the refusal to accept it occurred recently in Liechtenstein, one of Europe's tiniest independent states. Liechtenstein is tucked away in the eastern Alps south of Lake Constance along the upper Rhine, where that stream runs in a deep valley between Switzerland and Austria. Before the World war, Austria was something more than a neighbor. The little domain had a customs and postal agreement with the larger state and in a very limited sense therefore functioned as a part of it. But it had its own hereditary ruler, Prince Johan II, its own little duly elected parliament of 15 members, and its own high courts and lesser governmental machinery. There was another tie with Austria, though in a way it was only accidental. Prince Johan owned extensive estates in Austria and by virtue of their ownership sat in the Austrian upper house. But Johan also owned large estates in Germany. In fact the aggregate acreage of his estates in various countries amounted to fifty times the area of land of which he was monarch with its 42 square miles, its greatest length of 15 miles and its greatest width of 6. Cynics or even mere economists may find in Johan's extensive land holdings a reason for his high place in the affections of his people. Without seriously feeling the drain on his large income he has virtually "run" Liechtenstein from his private purse so that only the most nominal taxation is known in the little land. Three-quarters of a century ago the inhabitants petitioned for an entertainment fund and the prince granted a subsidy, perhaps with a smile. It was used thereafter to decorate and illuminate Vaduz, the Paris of Liechtenstein, when he visited there. Overlooked by Bismarck In the Austro-Prussian war back in the eleighteen-stixties Leichtenstein cast her lot with her ally, Austria. Her entire population bravely said good-by to her soldier boys, and the entire standing army of four score men marched off to battle. But they arrived after the war was over. When it came to making peace terms Bismarck nodded, for once, and little Leichtenstein was completely forgotted. It was just as well, or she might not have retained her freedom. But, apparently, she is determined not to be ignored again. Her army marched home again, stacked their muskets and hung their leather helmets, the bugler's trumpet and the captain's sword in the ancient castle of Vaduz, where they remain today. The citizenry informed the prince they wanted no more of war. He abolished military service, and since then "disarmament" has been complete in Lichtenstein, though, technically, the country has been at war with Prussia since 1866. Not only are there virtually no taxes in Lichtenstein, but the country has no public debt. A small levy is made for keeping up the dikes lest the Rhine overflows her fields in springtime. Customs and the ready generosity of her monarch keep her treasury filled. This quaint, but electric-lighted nation, with its roadside shrines and modern typewriters, is somewhat smaller than the District of Columbia. It is elongated, as if by pressure of its neighbor nations, Austria and Switzerland, suggesting Mark Twain's complaint about another land where, he said, "people had to sleep with their knees pulled up because they couldn't stretch out without a passport." Travelers Pass It By. Two fiefs of the Roman empire, Schellenberg and Vaduz, make up the latter day Liechtenstein. Both came into possession of the Liechtenstein family while their previous overlords were financially embarrassed. Many travelers passed through the little state, within a sight of the Vaduz castle mounted on its white cliff pedestal, for the route to Davos lies that way. But hardly any of the travelers stopped. When Robert Shackleton visited there not many The power of personal example cannot be estimated. Who knows but that this wayward girl was swayed by what she knew of the secret amours of the supposedly substantial, outwardly moral folk of her acquaintance? Are we all keeping our door-steps clean? HAS RETURNED FROM Joseph J. Jervis, who has been attending the summer session of the THE MONITOR tenstein, Contented Underwood > Underwood years ago he was welcomed as the first American to set foot in the country. Yet Liechtenstein, small as it is, is larger than the oft visited Monaco or the much written about Marino. Its peasants are simple, sturdy, shrewd folk, intensely proud of their "bright stone of the Alps." There are good schools, even to kindergartens, and the abundant water power makes electricity available to the humblest residents of Vaduz or the smaller towns. Cattle raising and agriculture are two industries. The stalwart men are not to be misjudged by the fact that nearly all of them wear earrings, a custom which probably found its way up from Italy. The people of Liechtenstein speak German, but it is a German bereft of much of its harshness and containing many romance words. Only a very few of the ten thousand inhabitants are more than moderately well-to-do. There are scarcely any servants. Most of the members of parliament saw their own wood and do their own "chores." Hardly ever is an indigent person seen, and crime is reduced to a minimum. Farms in the Rhine Valley. Most of the villages of Llechtenstein, well built and scrupulously clean, are to be found in the Rhine valley. On the valley floor are farms and gardens and meadows, while up the hillsides extend vineyards and orchards and pasture lands. Farther back rise the Llechtenstein Alps from whose slopes and peaks one may survey nearly the whole of the little principality and look far off into Switzerland to the west. In the matter of governmental machinery little Liechtenstein is completely fitted out with a nearly up-to-the-minute model. Of the fifteen members of parliament the prince names three and the remainder are elected. In the election every man over twenty-four years of age votes and proportional representation is practiced. A governor sits as the prince's representative and about him is grouped his little cabinet whose members bear such high sounding names as secretary of state, chancellor of the exchequer, chief justice, state engineer, and—eminently fitting in mountainous Liechtenstein—director of forests. And as a last word in modern government, their council chamber is fitted up with a long-distance telephone so that their monarch can sit in Vienna, or Munich, or Berlin, or Paris, and still have a princely finger in the political ple. Have Odd King Somewhere. Have Odd King Somewhere. Some queer citizens of London have been brought to light by a London periodical. After living for 60 years in one room in Upper Berkeley street, Edward Mott has had to move out. He had never been in a train, tram or motor vehicle. But there is another man even stranger. He has spent the last seven years in bed in a hotel. He rises to have a wash now and then. Nobody knows who he is. He pays his bills regularly and takes his food in his room. And there is not a thing wrong with him. There is another recluse who lives at the Savoy. He does not stay in bed, but he has not left his room for two years, and spends his time reading and painting. No one knows why. And over in Brinkton there is a house in which an old man lives whom we neighbors have never seen. He orders his food by telephone and even the postman must leave his letters on the step. Venerable Scottish Belie Venerable Scottish Reindeer. The sculptured relic known as the Hilton Cadbull stone has been placed in the Scottish National Museum of Antiquities. About a thousand years old, the stone's sculpture is a remarkable testimony to the artistic taste and craftsmanship of the early natives of Scotland. The stone stood for many years near the ruins of a chapel close to the village of Hilton of Cadbull, on the north side of the Moray firth; and it was more recently removed to Invergordon castle. One of the reasons for the proprietor of Invergordon placing it in the care of the authorities was the fact that the sculpture was weathering rapidly in its exposed position. Normal School, Union College, College View, Nebraska, for the past two month, has returned to Omaha and is making plans for the re-opening of the Seventh Day Adventist's parochial school at Twenty-fifth and Indiana early in September. Last year this school had an enrollment of twenty-six pupils, and the outlook for this year is a much larger attendance. Mr. Jervis, who was the only teacher last year, will have an assistant this year. On Friday evening, August 25, at 8 o'clock and on Sunday afternoon, August 27, at 3 o'clock special services will be held in connection with the annual August rally. The Rev. F. Troupe will preach on Friday evening. Everyone ought to avail himself of the opportunity to hear this splendid man preach. On Sunday afternoon the Rev. T. S. Saunders will deliver one of his most excellent sermons. Rev. Mr. Saunders is well known to be a man of great strength in the pulpit and in his church work. The pastor and members of U. St. cordially invite the pastors and members of the respective churches of the city. The public is also invited. G. W. CARTER, Pastor.
