August 4th was a day of joy to the St. Johns Ev. Lutheran congregation ot Preble township. Fifty years ago on this day Rev. Husmann founded this church. There were then but a very few who met to hear the word of God expounded. The first church was a very primitive affair, built of round logs, the altar and pulpit sawed off logs, the seats made of split punshens and yet the early settlers were glad to have this much. Now' this congregation has one of the finest churches in the county and a very fine parsonage and not a cent Indebtedness. On the above named day all neighboring congregations came early, even 350 of our friends from Fort Wayne, came on an excursion to help us rejoice so that by 10 o’clock the grove near the church was filled with people. At lO o’clock Prof. R. A, Bishoff of Ft. Wayne, spoke to the audience on “Why do we rejoice?” “What should we be thankful lor?” In the afternoon Rev. Evers and Traub spoke to the audience. The Preble band was present to enliven the occasion, also the choir of Friedheim under the leadership of Prof. Bublitz. Following is a short history of this congr< -ation: The pastors were Rev. Husmann from 1815 to 1848; Rev. Fritze, from 1848 t-» 1853; Rev. Kolb, from 1853 to 1854; Rev. Wamusgans, from 1855 to 1803; Rev.. Traub, from 1803 to 1806; Rev. Evers from 1806 to 1886; Prof. Bishoff, from 1886 to 1859; from 1889 the present pastor, C. F. Huge, has had charge of the congregation. As soon as possible this congregation saw to it that their children had schooling. The first teacher was Father Jansen, He was followed by Maurer mid Kleling. In 1879 the present teacher H. Lankenau, accepted the call and is now assisted by his daughter. The congregation has 80 families and 85 active or voting members. In the 50 years there were 585 births and baptisms; 402 were confirmed, 114 couples were married and 118 have died. GOLD AND SILVER. There are many people who believe it to be immaterial what kind of money we may have, as long as we have it. They think money has only value, if this value is fixed bylaw. Some person has written to Mr. Martin, expressing this opinion. What answer did he receive? Mr. Martin answers him something like the following: “In Wyoming, Neb., there lives a farmer, a good citizen at that,who has been advocating all kinds of money, also silver, the poor man’s money, in the ratio of 16 to 1. This man now advertises the sale of one-half of his square mile of land, to be sold for cash only. Many’ of the leading citizens of this country’ come to buy. They stop at the hotel; ths hotel burns down to the ground. Sixteen of these buyers have brought 81,000 each in silver dollars. These silver dollars have been melted and therefore are only so many ounces of bullion, and the word “In God we Trust” are obliterated. These men find that the market value of their silver was of some value, for if they take their bullion to 1 the mint they will receive only 66 cents per ounce and as coin it was worth $1.29 per ounce. $16,000 in silver that accidentally ; melt are only worth 88,000 to the owners.” ■ Not all that came to buy brought silver. One of them brought SI,OOO In gold, and from this the “Goddess of Liberty” and > “In God we Trust” was also gone, and only i a lump ot gold, without any sign of the i government on it, »vas left. The man finds I in taking his gold bullion to the mint, that ( it is worth as much, or very nearly as much as the coin. Does this not prove that gold is the best metal of the two. I venture to bet 16 to 1 that the gold > owner leaves the place 16 times more con- , tent than the other fellows. The best . money for the poor man is tliat kind that j will lose the least of its buying power, even if by fire or otherwise the stamp of the government on the same may be effaced. When you are contemplating matri- ( mony, and are looking around for the best place to buy fine furniture, bear in mind that the large stock of Auten & ( Gay’s is all new and of the best make; and their prices are away below the lowest.

P. & T. A$ Grand Rapids, Mich. AUSTRIA - HUNGARY PREMIER. - 1 Count Goluchowiki I» a Parisian—Franco and Auatria Alwajri Amicable. It is from Vienna now that sensational news comes. Day before yesterday. Count Kalnoky resigned; yesterday Count Goluchowskl was appointed his successor, says the Figaro. Everything was supposed to have been arranged between Vienna and Buda-PestK but the crisis was only more acute andi a newspaper article was enough to make It irremediable. Count Kalnoky resigned unexpectedly; his successor was chosen to the astonishment of everybody. Count Goluchowskl adds to his professional qualities, which are admitted, the quality of being a Parisian. It was here that he made the firs* steps of his career. From 1873 to 1887 he lived among us. His wife is a Frenchwoman. Princess Anne Murat. Count Agenor < Goluchowskl is 40 years of age and a descendant of an ancient family of Galicia. Small of stature, with broad Shoulders, he has a smiling face with grayish whiskers. He was much liked In Paris fur the vivacity of his wit and the jollity of his temperament.. There is nothing In his career to warrant the elevated situation to which he has been appointed. When he was sailed to Vienna he was absent from his post at Bucharest, where he had been appointed minister in 1887. It is sald’x'n that he owes his elevation to the friendship and to the recommendations of his predecessor. His position Is not a sinecure. He has not only to direct AustroHungarian diplomacy, but the affairs of the two monarchies, flounces, war and the administration of Bosnia and. Herzegovina. The constitution that the common ministry should ren- , der an account of Its acts at Vtenha and at Buda-Pesth, before the delegations, and this always entails serious conflicts. At this game one must display tact and a great deal of suppleness. When he quitted the political scene Count Kalnoky left the relations between France and Austria In a most satisfying condition.
