council came to the rescue, by furn-
ishing a location and opening the way
for quarters by giving the old muni-
cipal building. A new building has
been made out of the old building.
This seems an ideal building for the
purpose for which it is intended. A
large room, high ceiling, plenty of
light, steam heat, toilet rooms, one
for the men and one for ‘the women,
water for drinking with sanitary ar-
rangements, and water and hose con-
nection in case of fire.
The cellar contains the boiler, coal
bin, men’s toilet, with cement floor,
‘and the cellar is floored and forms a
large room for storagey there is a
tile drainage in the cellar, making
the building sanitary throughout
Those who have charge of the con-
struction of the building, are well
pleased with the work and are con-
~vinced that it will comply with every
requirement of the state laws, as well
=i dhe insurance stipulations.
The machinery is being placed, and

runs as the foot of the operator is
placed on the pedal of the machine.
This does not entail any physical
strain, ‘the ‘pressure simply making
- the contact when the motor runs the
machinery. :
It will doubtless require some time
before the factory will be in full
operation, for practically all the help
will be required to receive instruc-
tion before the work can be carried
on successfully. Next week however
the plant will be operated and in due
course of time the machinery will

done will be supplied.

more than 1,000 persons.
The Rev. Mr. Asher has beeu en-
gaged in evangelistic work for about
15 years and was a member of the Sun-
day party for several years. His work
has taken him around the world. He
started a series of meetings at Wind-
ber Sunday, where a tabernacle has
been built specially for his campaign.
Before going to Windber the Rev. Mr.
Asher was at Portage, where he con-
dacted a revival for three weeks, re-
sulting in the conversion of 808 per-
sons. The evangelist gets for his work
only the voluntary collections of the
last Sunday. : :
The details of the Somerset meeting
will be worked out within tne next
week. The only matters decided upon
definitely Wednesday were the ti. e
and place for the meetings. The Som-
erset Evangelical association will be
organized, with the Rev. V. C. Zeneras
president, and a directorate of 15
members, three from each of the five
churches joining in the campaign. No
opposition has developed to the cam-
paign. : ;
ASHER. DECLINES TO COME,
~The Rev. William Asher, who is
conducting a revival at Windber, and
who was scheduled to evangelize
Somerset in the near future, has noti-
fied the Somerset Ministerial Asso-
ciation that it will not be possible for
him to come there at the present time,
on account of there being a divided
sentiment in the ministerial associa-
tion as to the question of holding a
revival, as two of the members of
the association are reported to be
opposed to the meetings for various
reasons. The ministers, however, are
not abandoning the reyival project,
it is said, and will endeavor to secure
the services of another eyangelist,

PRECAUTION AGAINST
SMALL POX.
On account of the small pox epidem-
ic which promises well to spread over
part of Elk Lich township and prob-
ably to Salisbury, the board of health
of that city decided that it would be
well to disinfect public meeting places
where it was thought persons had been
in attendance that had been exposed
to the dreaded malady. Ira Hay’s
moving picture theatre and the Meth-
odist church, where daily meetings
are being held, were disinfected last
Thursday.
