Dear Sir and Friend:— We read in your very valuable paper of last week that Union Congregational church was the only coldred church that held special Thanksgiving services and held church in the afternoon. Dear Sir, please correct said mistake. We had special services. Our church was opened promptly at 10:30 a.m. for services at 11 o'clock. The pastor read Faisal 136, the congregation repeating the latter half of each verse. In the audience was a very distinguished woman, Rev. Mrs. Friend, the evangelist. After the pastor finished explaining why we should be thankful and to whom and telling of the first recorded Thanksgiving was the Hebrew Feast of the Tauernacle, and he spoke of President Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1863. The meeting was turned into a class meeting and nearly everyone present spoke and gave praise to God with tears in their eyes. Our collection for the poor was $1.63. In the evening the W. H. M. S. gave a supper in the dining room of the church. The same was well attended. Friday night Nov. 25, Rev. Rawel showed and lectured on the South New Zealand country.

MOST MEMORABLE IN THE CAL ENDAR There are other memorable events besides Christmas and the coming together of congress, that the month of December claims for its own. This is December, the twelfth and last month of the year, and the turn of this month we recall things that will make it a bright star in the calendar of liberty loving and progressive people of this country. There are so many things that have occurred in December, in the breakup of bonds and the deprivation man an equal chance in this world. We will mention those that we remember. We recall that the work of the Thirty-ninth congress, which met in December, adopted the thirteenth amendment. We recall that December, 1862, that President Lincoln put the final touches on his emancipation proclamation which he issued January 1, 1863. General Sherman's march to the sea ended in December, 1864, with the capture of Savannah. He was the friend of the race, was executed in Charlestown, Va. December 2, 1859. William Lloyd Garrison, the journalist and abolitionist who barely escaped hanging at the hands of a mob during the slave rebellion, was born December 10, 1858, in December. 1831, he founded the Liberator in Boston and began his long fight in these memorable words: "I am in earnest. I will not equate. I will not retreat a single inch. The state of Georgia at one time offered $5,000 for his apprehension as a promoter of slave insurrection, he was heard and at the close of the war that brought about the emancipation of slaves the leaders of the free public schools. He was a token of their appreciation of his long and faithful services and for the bold stand he took in defense of the slave his memory is perpetuated in bronze. American Anti-Slavery society was organized in Philadelphia December 6, 1833. John G. Whittler, the poet of anti-slavery and life-long friend of Mr. Garrison, was born December 17, 1807. Edwin M. Stanton, the great war secretary and one that had much to the credit of the making of the thirteenth amendment, was born December 19, 1814. Mr. Gladstone, the world-famous lover of liberty, was born in December, 1809. We believe that if Wendell Phillips could have had it, he would say in the matter of December, just for the sake of being in good company. He missed it by two days, his birthday being Nov. 29, 1811. Washington died in December. Patrick Henry' death occurred in December. December 14, 1799, the national capital was moved from Philadelphia to Washington. The admission of Kansas and Louisiana was on December 16, 1835. December had only been gone three days, in 1793, when Lucetra Watt was born. She was one of the most provocates of emancipation and she denounced slavery all over this country. In December, 1855, Phillips Brooks was born. He came just in time to employ his great gifts and wild-reaching uleineen 14940498fxmw 1232 1234 714 for the Union and against slavery. Wendell Phillips' last public address was in December, at the unveiling of Miss Whitney's statue. The three ships bearing the earliest pilots came from the island to America sailed from London December 20, 1606.

If a Japanese husband divorces his wife he makes no provision for her and she has no dowry from her family, but divorced women in Japan nearly always marry again.

Y., recently for repairs, the first that have been made upon it since some trifling ones in 1778, which were due to the raid of the Indians under Brant and the tory Butler at Cherry Valley, in November of that year. Japanese Gardens. Give a Japanese a back yard ten feet square and he will have a Chinese garden, with any number of patterns of glittering white quartz. But give a prosperous Japanese a few acres—one acre—round his house in the suburbs, and he will make an attractive landscape garden. Russian Quinion of Chinese A Russian officer who took part in the Chinese war some years ago declares, in the Novoe Vremya of St. Petersburg, that the Chinese are not allowed to enter the country assumed, and that, under proper leadership, they make a excellent soldiers.

They are driven by a benzine motor and lighted by electricity. They are flat-bottomed, glide mossily over the water, do not catch the fish and are a great success. Science Aids Fishermen Fishermen along the Gern in ocean used to look on deep sea research as a mere scientific fad. They changed their mind when, in consequence of these researches, 700,000 cod were caught in a few days on new grounds. Many Colors in Chrysanthemums.

Worry Over Big Cups The United States is not the only government that is feeling a little nervous about the threat from Britain. The 9.2 inch gun is not coming up to expectations. Razors in South Africa One half of the raccoons imported into South Africa are of British make; the resi is chiefly of German origin. Even the "educated Hottentot" shaves himself now occasionally. Believe Trees Have Souls. There is a belief of virtue of Japan that a tree is souls and this idea acts as a check on the devastation of timber land unnecessarily. Radium in Texas. Vast quantities of earth containing radium compounds have been discovered in the Lilano mineral region, near Austin, Tex. Many Students Marry. According to a Berno newspaper a surprising number of the Russian students at Swiss universities are married. Many Pass Allotted Time. Seventeen persons in a hundred in the state of New York live to be over seventy years of age. Sole Leather Exports. The export of sole leather from the United States averages about $600,000 a month. Evidently if Japan wants peace it will have to fight for it. By common consent the new battle ship New Jersey will be assigned to the Mosquito fleet. "An Iowa bank cashier loses $20,000 and flees." Can this be considered a double loss? Another matrimonial agency is in the toils. What is the use of an agency of that sort during leap year? The lams are bleating in Wall street again, and the sound is a joyful one to the shearers—Baltimore Sun. Alexleff has arrived at St. Petersburg without a scratch. But it must be remembered that he started to run early. Now that flour is up and still rising, the beef trust is perhaps justified in making a few sarcastic observations to the vegetarian. The oar says he has no fear of the outcome. Wait till he wakes up some night to find that the czarevitch has the croup. The cook problem may be met in various ways. For instance, there is Mr. McDougall of Brooklyn, who never eats cooked food. France ought to make an end of this brutal duel fighting. There is always danger that the impacable contestants may die of fright. A New York Dogberry has ruled that no man can be "disorderly" in a saloon. Perhaps not, but what a spectacular imitation he can put up! A Brooklyn man who had lost his memory had it suddenly restored by the sight of his wife. This has happened before, on various occasions. Israel Zangwil thinks the world press for a great dramatist. Meanwhile "McFadden's Flats" will resume an unbroken career of phenomenal prosperity. The public concern over how much money Miss Nissit will get from the Thaws is unwarranted. Being a corpse, she will get everything that is coming to her. Earl Grey, now governor general of Canada, predicts a population of 50,000,000 for the dominion in 1850. That's the way we grow over here, and why not Canada? The expenditure of $25,000 upon the summer home of Thomas Nelson Page at York Harbor does not indicate that he is in the class of poor and struggling authors. A University of Wisconsin freshman shot a sophomore who attempted to haze him because he deriled the foot ball team. Even this, however, does not decide the merits of the team.

Young Mr. Rockefeller continues to talk to his Bible class about money and his latest dictum is that wealth cannot take one to heaven and is a relatively unimportant matter to the truly happy life.

The Boston Globe feels that he will have the sympathy of most women for the goodness he showed to his wife. But the dressmaker—what shall she base her sympathy upon? With a German physician suing an American for $2,000 for one consultation and a French physician suing an other American for $100,000 for failing to cure his wife, our citizens will do well to come home to get sick. A California professor of philosophy announces that there are too many women in the colleges. They interfere with the attainment of high scholarly ideals, he says. He must be an elderly person who, has no daughters. If it is true that young Cornelius Vanderbilt aspires to a diplomatic career, he learns. The language of some members of the Vanderbilt family has not always been exactly what would be called diplomatic. KNOCKS OUT THE COMPULSORY LAW QUEER CASE AT SHENANDOAH Parents Refused to Send Children to School and Jury Promptly Acquits Them on Trial—State Super-intendent is Puzzled. Des Moines, Dec. 1.—Compulsory education in Iowa is seriously threatened as a result of a test case tried at Shenandoah in which a jury has just rendered a verdict to the effect that home education is an adequate defense to a prosecution for failure to send children to school as required by the law. The verdict has created quite a stir in the office of State Superintendent Riggs. It is feared that the defense will be used by everybody and will have the effect of intimidation by this case lies in the fact that the jury had to be shown that the pupils in question had actually been sufficiently educated at home to be on an equality with those who had attended public schools, or approximately so. This may prove the salvation of the law. The case in question involved, the education of two children of Mr. and Mrs. Frankdek of Shenanaoah. This couple has always declined to send their children to school, an attempt was made to enforce the compulsory educational law this fall. The parents demanded a jury trial and Mr. Dek conducted his own defense. It was shown that he and his wife were formerly missionaries engaged in the African field. They have peculiar ideas about education and deprivation, and they themselves. They hoped to equip them for missionary work. They claimed that they had done their work conscientiously and that their children were as far advanced in the common school as they were in the public schools regularly. The jury conducted an examination of the children and found this contention to be fairly well sustained, though the children seemed rusty in their minds. The prosecuting attorney contended that the deks were not qualified to teach their children according to the curriculum, and that they could not afford equal advantages for their education. Dek argued that the modern ideas were all wrong and apparently succeeded in convincing a jury that quickly rendered a verdict equivocal. WAPELLO CASHIER SHORT. W. H. Colton Confesses to Deficit of $23,000 Wapello, Dec. 2—W. H. Colton, cashier of the Wapello State Savings bank, was arrested yesterday on the charge of embezzlement. According to the bank, the employee will aggregate $25,000. The amount has been made up by the stockholders of the bank and the business is being conducted as usual. Colton gave bond for his appearance and was released. The bond was called for today and the case will be laid before them. It is said the alleged deficit has been made during the past ten years, when it appears sums of money, large and small, have been collected by the stockholders had such complete confidence in Colton that for the past year they did not require him to give bonds. If this is true the loss will have to be made up by the stockholders, as the assets cannot possibly replace the loss. Des Moines, Dec. 2.—Auditor of State Carroll has been notified of the resignation of W. H. Colton, as cashier of the W. Louis County bank of the Louis County and confession of a shortage of $23,100. The shortage was called to the attention of the directors of the bank by Bank Examiner McKee and Directly made good the shortage actually made good the shortage so that the bank is unimpaired and now in perfect condition. It was rumored last night that Colton may be arrested. He is utterly surprised. What became of the money remains an absolute mystery. When the directors confronted Colton with the knowledge of his defaecation, the official report to the auditor shows, he conceived that the money was $23,100. He was asked what he did with the money. He refused to say, IOWA WINS HONORS. State College Triumphs Over Other Institutions at Stock Show. Chicago, Dec. 1—General Manager, the remarkable 19-month-old cat, which weighed 1,010 pounds at the opening of the international live stock show, has gained an average of two pounds a day under what stock raisers call "the process."

A fine of twenty-five dollars is to be placed on each table conducted by gambling houses and the money must be paid into police court once each month. Much evidence of previous corruption. Investigation by City Attorney Thuenen developed that gamblers had been paying from fifty to a hundred and fifty dollars per month under previous laws. Gamblers who gamblers refuse to say to whom they had paid the bribes in the past. SAFE ROBBERS ROUTED. One is Dead as Result of Battle in Town of Fonda. Fonda, Nov. 29.—One robber was captured, with a mortal wound which had pierced his liver, and two others are in full flight with a posse close on their heels, as the result of a pitched battle which took place in the streets of Fonda st an early hour yesterday morning. Great excitement prevails here. Plate glass windows on the main street are punctured with r. fliile bulbs and buckshot; cartridges strew the ground and the neighborhood of .ne fight bears witness to the despair of the cemetery. At 3 o'clock yesterday morning David Lykins was aroused by a loud explosion. He went to the window and discovered three men at work in the office of the Fonda Creamery Company, the street from where he had rooms. Catchig up his 44-calibre Winchester, he raised a window and crawled on a lower building and dropped to the ground. He aroused F.M. Connell. Together they went back to town and discovered the three men in the act of breaking the front door of the Sargent grocery store. They called to them to throw up their hands, but were met with a fusillade of bullets, a knife and a rifle and shot gun and the battle ragged for several minutes. One robber was seen to fall. He got up again and crawled to the Illinois Central depot, where he was captured. Upon examination it was discovered that he had a bullet hole in his chest. He was taken to the liver. He is conscious, but refuses to give his name or reveal his identity. He has red hair, rather spare build, smooth face, wears dark clothing, dark woolen shirt, and dark hat. He will die. The other two escaped, but he was organized and are on their trail. The robber was on the west edge of town, where they discovered one of them had applied for protection at 4 o'clock a.m. claiming he was hurt. Blood was found on the porch, and the trail is marked with drops of blood. Money taken from the Iowa Creamery company was recovered. The safe was destroyed. Ponda, Nov. 30—Sheriff Kelleher overtook and captured the two robbers who escaped the posse here on Monday night. The word was received here yesterday morning that a horse and buggy were stolen Monday night at the farm of Will Aherin, north of Varina. This horse and buggy were found only in the house where Kelleher left for Laureus yesterday and caught the men at Havelock. One of them has a charge of shot in his legs. The other one is uninjured. The two men, as where they were placed in the jail. No doubt now remains that the three safewellowers are caught. The wounded man here is still alive. He has given his name as Charles Clossette to give any information further. ON TRIAL OF MURDER Want Stranger Who Killed Jnc. Mur- ghy at Koekuk Koeuk, Nov. 29.-Within two blocks of the police station on Sunday morning at 6:20 o'clock, John Murpray was mysteriously murdered and the perpetrator of the deed is now yet found. He left his home at 6 o'clock and was coming down to a saloon where he was employed, to clean up. On the corner of Sixth and Concert streets, he was met by an unknown man, who fired one shot, which proved fatal, the bullet entering the man's chest. The murderer then fell and was seen by several residents of the neighborhood, but it was too dark to make out his features. Murpray walked a half block to Sinton's stable, where the night watchman met him at the door. The wounded man said: "I held the shot well and told backwards to the pavement. The police were notified and he was taken to the station, expiring there without saying anything. Daley's bloodbounds were brought down town but not until many people in Daley's scene and the bounds were not used. The dead man worked around the saloons of the city and was an inoffensive, harmless man, who had no reason whatever for his murder. KILLS WIFE AND SELE. Frank Billings Commits Double Crime at Des Moines Des Moines, Nov. 30—Anger beyond reason because his wife refused to give him money. Frank Billings footracer and well known hitter, and killed her in Flo Johnson's resort, 606 Creech street, at 7:30 last night, and then curring the gun upon himself pulled the trigger and fell dying over the prostrate form of his wife. Bath shooting occurred, but neither spoke a word. It was a plain, well conceived act of murder. It had been planned for several hours and was the culmination of a series of events when Billings, then a professional foot racer, found a pretty daughter of a country doctor at Fergus Falls, Minn., and bringing her to Des Moines to be murdered by a mysterious, she finally landed in a house of ill-fame where, painted and tinsled, she became known as "Cecil Baldwin, the girl just out for fun." Billings was angered because Mrs. Billings had refused to give him money. DOUBLE CRIME IS AVERTED. John Head of Jefferson Attempts Murder and Suicide Des Moines, Nov. 30—John Head, son of Representative Mahlon Head of Jefferson, and nephew of exSpeaker Albert Head of the Iowa State University, were tempted to murder his wife and then kill him in a little room in the Shaw Hotel on Fourth street last night. His attempts in both cases were unsuccessful. The knife was slashed around the face, head and hands by a big pocket knife in the hands of her husband. The would-be murderer and suicide then turned the weapon on himself and with a terrible slash laid open the left side of his neck. The jugular vein was severed. City Physician Muller, who answered promptly the ambulance call, declared last night that he would recover. Head was addicted to the liquor he had been dependent because his father had declined to send him money. PORT ARTHUR IS IN GREAT DANGER The Report or Japanese Successes is Taken Seriously. HAVE MADE GREAT ADVANCE Are Reported in Position to Command Whole Harbor—If Rumor is Confirmed, Military Experts Consider Situation as Critical. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30—Foreign reports of the fighting at Port Arthur are accepted here very seriously. If the Japanese have taken 203 Meter Hill, as reported, and are commanding the whole harbor, it is believed that the situation is critical. Berlin, Nov. 30—A dispatch from Tokyo to the Tagliascio Rundeschau reports that the Japanese storming of Port Arthur was abandoned on November 28, because, though large breaches had been made in the Sungha, Rhilung and Kekwan forts, the Japanese were unable to enter on account of the heavy fire from the other forts and the resistance of the garrison. Mukden, Nov. 29.—A Japanese cavalryman who has been captured by the Russians, declared that General Koryak had been rumored among the Chinese. There has been no important change in the situation. Small skirmishes are reported on the eastward, but there is no sign of a definite Japanese London. November 20, -Accorling to a Tokio dispatch to the Standard there is an unofficial rumor that the Japanese hauled their large calibre guns to the top of 203 Metre hill. From the top of 203 Metre hill has a sweep of the whole harbor. This report doubtless goes beyond the facts; but various dispatches indicate the progress the Japanese are making in attacking the Japanese here explain the great importance of the capture of 203 Metre hill, which besides giving command of the harbor, will serve as a wide breach made by the wedge between the Else group and the Russians' last retreat in the ravines of La Ote mountain. They declare that retreat to La Ote will be effectually cut out, and that it is not unlikely they will be unnecessarily attacked in the final assault. Bennett Burleigh wires to the Daily Telegraph from Che Cfoo that in the last assault the Japanese lost 4,000 in one hour's fighting. They claim to have captured the eastern forts and a third, which is part of the West Kekwan fort. They claim, Mr. Burleigh adds, to have effected a lodgment at Pigeon bay, thus turning the fort on 203 Metre hill, where the gorges are now made of the thermae the gorge below La Ponte Hill, which they hope first to damage and then to rush. The dispatch continues: "Dosperate fighting is proceeding at the gorges, but the gorges are excessive; but the Japanese insist that Port Arthur must fall within twenty-one days." The Morning Post's correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that wireless communication between the Russians consults at Che Cfoo and Port Arthur garrison. WORLD'S FAIR CLOSE3. Will Be Very Little for Stockholders When Debts are Paid. St. Louis, Dec. 2.—While it is impossible to obtain the actual impressions and expenditures of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition company before the middle of December, Secretary Walter B. Stevens of the world's fair made the following statement to the Associated Press last night: "From reports that have been submitted of the admissions to the grounds up to 9 o'clock tonight, we estimate that the attendance on Friday will be a few thousands, the success of 200,000, the attendance for the exposition period will be in the neighborhood of 15, $00,000. "In round number the exposition company has expended $22,000,000 since the inception of the world's fair project, and the expenditures of the company have reached a total of $5,000,000. The receipts since the opening day, April 20, have been about $10,000,000, consisting of admissions and concession royalties. In addition to these receipts were the attendance, amount to about $12,000,000, raised by subscriptions to build the exposition. "While it is impossible to state exactly the financial condition of the Exposition company on this, the closing day, it can be authoritatively announced that all debts against the company have been paid, with the ex-tenants of a fund of account accounts, such as salaries, etc. and it is thought, consume nearly all the surplus, so that there will only be a small amount left for the stockholders. "From the amount of royalties collected by the Exposition company, it appears that the concession accounts of the other parts of the World's fair ground have taken in at least $10,000,000." "Joe" Leither Indicted St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 1.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from Duquoin, Ill., says that it became known there today that three weeks ago Joseph Letter was indicted on three counts, and the court ordered armed men into the state court recently passed statute. No attempt has been made to serve the capas or arrest Letter because State's Attorney Scott, who will retire tomorrow, wishes to leave the case over for his successor. There is considerable doubt that his neglected to do this, and favoritism is charged, but this he denies. Secretary Taft Negotiates Panama, Dec. 2.—Negotiations are still in progress between Secretary of War Taft, representing the United States government, looking to the settlement in dispute regarding the government in the canal zone, and an agreement may be said to be in sight. In order that possible complications may be avoided, the United States conducted an investigation in secret and nothing will be given out until both sides are agree. WHERE GEN.

TEN MORE DAYS TO TAKE FORT ASSAULT TO BE CONTINUED No Cessation Until Port Arthur Falls —Fight On 203 Metre Hill Results in Tremendous Losses to the Japanese, Who Never Falter. London, Dec. 2.—The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Cheoo says that the attack on 203 aterre hill resulted in heavy losses to the first division of the Japanese stormers. Simultaneously with this assault the correspondent says, men of the Ninja and Eleventh divisions advanced and monacled the Rihung and Kekwan forts. It is stated, the correspondent adds, that within the last twenty-four hours the Japanese casualties have totalled 15,000, and it is asserted that the attacks have been planned to continue until December 10, when it is hoped, the capture of Port Arthur will be completed. Tokio, Dec. 2.—General Nogt's telegram announcing the storming and capture of 30-meter hill" is received with cheers by the Japanese people. It revives the hope of an American invasion. The people have never despaired of the success of the besiegers, but the fortitude of the defenders and the prologue of the siege which exceeds by months the most liberal preliminary estimate of the time required to defeat the siege. This stronghold has been a source of deep regret combined with the loss of life and disappointments over the fact that the siege has occupied such a large force of men, decreasing Field Marshal Oyamu's strength at a time when he needed every available man. Yesterday was the date set under the conscription act, when recruits could join the army. Cheered by the news from General Gogol, thousands of recruits throughout the empire marched to the army for the first time. Following an honored custom the relatives of the recruits carrying flags and banners, escorted the new soldiers to their barracks. In Tokio yesterday were scores of little processions escorting detachments of popular conscripts. The number of men who were under the conscription act has not been made public. Reports from the Japanese army teleging Port Arthur say that Lieutenant General Tanimiya is among the wounded and that General Nakamura, the leader of the specially trained army, was charged into the Russian forts November 26, was injured in both legs. QUIET AT MUKDLN. Slight Skirmish the Only Activity at That Place. Molden, Dec. 2.—There was another skirmish on General Renenkamp's front on November 29, but otherwise everything remains quiet here. The weather is warmer and more agreeable, that in consequence of the inability of the Russian Red Cross society to obtain supplies offered in the United States and China, those supplies will be handed over to the Japanese for the benefit of the hospital. Individually hot skirmish took place on November 29 on the Russian right between the villages of Chantan and Syakochien, the latter place being occupied by Russian troops. Several companies of Japanese with cavalry, the Russian infantry and the Russian communication in this direction, but border skirts enclosed the Japanese on two sides and routed them, capturing ten rifles and several horses. The Russian loss was five or six wounded. The Japanese loss is supposed to have been much heavier. VENEZUELA IS VERY CHAOTIC. Many Have Been Placed in Prison for Political Offenses. Washington, Dec. 2.—Reports reach the state department of a very unsettled state of affairs in Venezuela. Many citizens have been put in prison for alleged political offenses, public hensions for their safety, safewells for the foreign element. The state department is closely observing the progress of events there. It is patiently awaiting the final decision of the commissioner of the case of the American asphalt concern. When that decision is handed down announcement will be made of the policy to be pursued by this government. Frequent reports reach the troubles of foreigners in Venezuela and of the slowness with which the foreign governments are obtaining their indemnity awards because of the action of President Castro in opening new ports.

The members of the legislature in this state. Attorneys representing the republican party have asked the supreme court, which has assumed original jurisdiction in the local election cases, to order the Denver election commission to throw out which it is alleged the court's order relating to watchers was violated without an investigation to determine the number of legal votes cast and without opening the ballot box. Should the court order the vote of this precept thrown out the attorneys for the case in respect to about fifty precess, in which it is charged that the court's orders were violated. All these precepts gave majorities for Alva Adams for governor, and by throwing out the returns the republican managers hope to overcome Adam's majority of about 50 percent. No peculiar Pebabo in office. The control of the state senate also appears to hinge upon the decision on this matter. After hearing arguments the court took the petition under advisement, but made no announcement as to when a decision could be expected.

A minister was one day walking along a road, and to his assentishment saw a crowd of boys sitting in front of a ring with a small dog in the center. When he came up to them he said, "There are no people are you doing with that dog?" One of the boys said: "Whoever tells the biggest he wins it." "Whover tells the minister, 'I am surprised at you boys, for when I was like you I never told a lie.' There was silence for a while until one of the boys shouted: 'Hand him up the dog!' He was ten years old, and when he slipped out of the house at daylight he left a note for his mother saying he was going West to fight Indians. A discouraging combination of circumstances, in which hunger, weariness, and fear all played a part, made him leave the house at 9:30 p. m. He was not received with open arms, indeed, the family met him with coldness. The clock ticked, his father's newspaper rattled, his big sister study turned up, and he seemed to car whether he came back or not.

Hinton, Ky., Nov. 28.—(Special.) It has long been known that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasured evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. He is now in the school regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. The claim I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what I did was to treat Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease, and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered.

The Iowa Gate company of Cedar Falls has been awarded the contract for supplying the entire Santa Fe system with 15,000 stock yard gates. Matthew Travis was shot through the knee cap by Wollman Perryman and the wound is quite serious. Mr. Perryman was cleaning the gun and Mr. Travis stood near when it was discharged. Both gentlemen are farmers living within four miles of Corning. Ed. Sauer of Davenport, while hunting near Buffalo, was killed by the discharge of his gun as he crawled through a barbed wire fence. The hammer of the gun caught and one barrel was discharged, the charge of shot entering his breast and ploughing a hole clear through his body. For several falls in Galanga's Grove in the northwest part of Shelby county, some wild animal has been prowling around in the timber. Just what it is does not seem certain. Its howls are shrill and soul terrifying even to the oldest inhabitant. The animal has been especially active of late. It is probably a lynx, and there is talk of a big hunt to get the manderer. Fire broke out in the school house at Goldfield, which resulted in the building being burned to the ground. The school building was a frame structure two stories high, and heated by a furnace. The fire started where the chimney passed through the roof, and before water could be had the roof was entirely burned. All of the scholars were out before the roof fell, and no one was hurt. The loss is partially covered by insurance. The Johnson county grand jury has Indicted Isaiah Wright for horse stealing. He was taken immediately to Marengo and reindicted for another theft. It is charged that Wright stole a horse from Charles Gromus of Iowa City, secreted it, and when he knew that its whereabouts had been discovered, he drove to Marengo, turned the horse loose, stole another, and returned to Iowa City. He was charged with the stealing of horses in the vicinity, which has been uncommonly plentiful of late. Two horses are still missing. Wallace Hubbard of Albany, Mo. who is vice-president of the proposed St. Joe, Albany & Des Moines railroad, has been in Madison county for a week, holding meetings in the different townships and asking them to vote a 3 per cent tax for his road, Mr. Hubbard is also as ing for a 5 per cent tax in Winterset and Mackesburg. He insists that the road will be made of asphalt because of Madison county the farmers and people in the towns through which the road is to go are *euthistically in favor of the tax and the road.* Ora Hopkins, a young man just out of college in Omaha, beat the world's record in corn husking on the farm of J. B. Farwell, located in Fremont count, about six miles west of Shenandoah. Young Hopkins husked 217 bushels and twenty pounds in ten hours, the corn being weighed by H. J. Roff, C. C. Roff and J. B. Farwell, all substantial farmers of that section. The young man made up his mind to break the record held by a Council Bluffs man of 206 bushels in ten hours and made two weeks ago. The record last year was 201 bushels. The corn husked was a Shenandoah variety, "The Pride of Nishna," and run sixty-five bushels to the acre. On a farm in Grove township, Shelby county, is a unique family, the like of which cannot, perhaps, be duplicated in the state of Iowa. The family consists of five stalwart men, the oldest about 45 years of age and the youngest about 25. Not one of this family is married, and all live in the same house. They own in a barn a large orchard and altogether 80 acres. They have in their feed lots 300 fat hogs and 100 head of steers fattening. They do their own work, and have often five teams engaged in performing various tasks on the big farm owned in common by them. The men are named Weber. Their father, who died about 1915, was a farmer. His father had served under Napoleon, and was a member of the ill-fated expedition to Moscow. A big robbery occurred at Evans a few nights ago, and as a result J. Da Falkner, who runs a saloon at that place, is out about $300. Mr. Falkner lives in Oskaloosa, but he sometimes sleeps in his place at Evans, especially when he has a considerable amount of money on hand. On the night of the robbery, one James Warrington, a colored man, who is known in Evans as a gambler, applied to Falkner in the evening for a place to sleep. Falkner accommodated him, as he had done several times before, and gave him a key to the room, which adjoining the one in which Falkner slept. Falkner then put his pocketbook and valuables under his pillow and retired. He was very tired and slept soundly. Awakening early next morning he discovered that his friend was gone, likewise $82 in paper money, a $100 certificate of deposit in the Oskaloosa Savings bank, a $100 watch, about $5 in silver, a $20 ring, a revolver, and a $100 bill. Warrington had taken the property from under the sleeping man's pillow and had made good his escape. A record breaking run was made by Burlington fast mail No. 15. From Burlington to Creton, a distance of 188 miles, it required just 200 minutes. This included the time necessary for five stops and seven slow downs. The train left Burlington late and was late into Creton. Between Creton and the U. P. transfer it made up 29 minutes, although it suffered a ten minute day and was compounded by a downward account of receiving orders. The average of the actual running time was over a mile a minute for the entire distance, which is one of the fastest records the road has ever made. In the belief that they know something about the recent postoffice robbery at St. Charles, the Winterset police are holding Dick James and Frank Smith, both well known characters of that part of the country. The men are being kept in jail on a charge of intoxication, but it is generally understood that the officers are endeavoring to secure evidence warranting their detention as being connected with the St. Charles robbery. Most of the switch-tenders on Italian railroads are women. They are preferred because they do not get drunk. Tjade Tjaden, a prosperous farmer living four miles west of Wellsburg in Grundy county, committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn. He was about 50 years old and leaves a wife and five children. No reason is known for the act. The remains of John H. Charles, pioneer, who died at Stoux City a few days ago, will be cremated in accordance with his belief as to the proper method of disposition of the body after death. The remains will be taken to St. Paul crematory. A little grandchild of Mr. Charles was cremated five years ago in that crematory. Funeral services will be held in Sloux City. Eleven inmates of the Webster county poor farm have escaped. Fire broke out late at night and the efforts of the steward and his assistants were divided between subduing flames and incinerating a number of them were determined to save their belongings. The city fire department made a four mile run and added in saving much property. The loss is $3,000, fully insured. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Elliott of Brandon are searching the country for their son, and have almost given up the search and fear that some mishap has happened to the boy. The 14-year-old boy left home a week ago. The mother is almost frantic to find the lad, and a thorough search shows that he is nowhere about that section and it is thought he has met with some accident. Archie Harter, aged 17 years, lies at the point of death at Mercy hospital, Des Moines, as the result of an accidental shooting which occurred a few days ago. The bullet from a 22 calibre target rifle entered his abdomen, passing clear through, puncturing his liver, stomach and intestines. The rifle was in the hands of a companion, who was unreeling shooting at a stump, glanced and struck Harter. His life is desnailed of. A notice was filed with the clerk of the district court at Waterloo by the Federal Trust and Savings company of Chicago against the United States Telephone and Telegraph company of Warrington. The notice gives notice that as it has been filed in the United States district court for the northeastern district of Iowa of the foreclosure of the bonds of the company in the sum of $200,000, which amount is held by the trust company. The notice also states that a receiver will be asked for the company. The supreme court of Iowa faced the dire necessity of deciding that property owners whose trees are about to be ruined by the grading of a parking for the construction of new sidewalks have no remedy against the operation of this discretion by city authorities, if the latter observe the law and do nothing unnecessarily. "To the person who has planted trees," says Justice Weaver in rendering the decision, "cares for them, protected them against violence, and has seen them grow and develop into things of beauty until he comes to regard them with genuine affection, this conclusion is no doubt unwelcome." Weaver argues that the law as it finds it, and the rule we have stated is well settled." The Van Nest hardware store at Chapin was entered a few nights ago and the burglar, Fred Giler, was captured. For some time past Van Nest has been missing different articles from the store and finally decided to set a watchman there every night. On the night mentioned he was on duty himself and early in the evening the building was opened. The prosecution instituted the unlawful visitor with a double barrel shotgun. He was much surprised to discover that it was Fred Giler, a well known man around Franklin county and section boss of a gang of section men working out of Chapin. Giler was placed in charge of Sheriff Wolfe at once and upon searching his house several articles were discovered that had been missed from the store. Clad in poor clothing, half starved and nearly frozen, Sophia Kraff, aged 14 years, walked thirty miles from Parkersburg to Cedar Falls, to avoid alleged cruel treatment to which she claims she has been subjected for the past two years by the family of Ben Blow, a farmer living two miles from Parkersburg, a former farmer of orphans' home in Des Moines who was given a home by Blow. She alleges that she was forced to plow, husk corn and milk nine cows twice a day, and says that she was whipped and compelled to go without food when her work was not done. She left the Blow home while the family was away at a Thanksgiving celebration, and made her way as far as New Hartford, where a farmer's wife gave her food and a blanket and allowed her to sleep in the barn. She reached Cedar Fills and was given a place as a domestic at the Burr hotel, and was fitted out with new clothes and given food. Her foster father, Blow, with the aid of the police, found her, but she refused to go back, saying that she would be whipped severely. Blow says that he will surrender all his rights if a charitable organization will find a home for the girl. The mulct petitions that have been in circulation throughout Grundy county since election have been filed with the county aditer in Grundy Center and contain 73 per cent of the voters of the county. As 65 per cent is all that is needed, the promoters are very confident that they will get mulct saloons, but many names will be thrown out because of illegalities and as the anti-saloon league is making war on the effort many other names will doubtless be withdrawn, so that the fate of the petition will be in doubt until after the canvass. The National Bank of the Republic of Chicago has brought suits in the Wapello county district court for judgments and attachments to secure payment upon promissory notes held by it against the Janney Manufacturing company, G. C. Janney, M. H. Janney, Calvin Manning, W. R. Daggett, L. T. Kenney & Company, E. T. Kenney and R. L. Rhe. Two notes form the basis of the sums. One is for the Janney series of 25, 65, and the other, which may be issued October 20, 1944, and is due four months after date, is for $7,240.

Rheumatism Rapidity and Radically Cured. Quick Work of a Famous Remedy. Convenience, comfort, safety, speed are demanded by the travelling public in our rapid century and the keenest intellects constantly at work on these problems are making wonderful progress in the construction of the steamship and the locomotive. Like results are s歌nt in medicines and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are astonishing the world by the triumphs they are winning in the rapid cure of obstinate maladies, such as rheumatism. With speed they combine convenience, perfect safety and cheapness. Here is fresh proof of their concentrated virtues: Mrs. Margaret Gantz, of No. 152 Bodeman street, Burlington, Iowa, is an industrial German woman, who about two and a half years ago found herself in danger of losing her power to work altogether. She says "I got rheumatism which made my knees and elbows very stiff and painful. I had difficulty in raising my arms and I could hardly lift my feet over my doorstep. I ought to have gone to bed, but I couldn't afford to do that, so I forced myself to work in spite of the pain and stiffness. After suffering for about six months, I was told about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People by a friend, who said she had been cured by them. On her advice, I bought one box and in two weeks after I began to use them I was well and I have had no need to use them now for nearly two years. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a good medicine and if I ever have rheumatism again I will get a box right away. I have told many friends what they did for me and I am glad to have everybody know." This is valuable news to all who suffer from rheumatism. These pills have also cured stubborn cases of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dace, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache, palpitation of the heart and all forms of weakness in male or female. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y., on receipt of the price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and a half. Look for the full name on every box. A teacupful of salt in a kerosene lamp will cause it to burn brighter and steadier. The most powerful electric locomotive in the world has just been completed for the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad in the shops of the General Electric Company and the American Locomotive Works at Schenectady, N.

A. M. E. church in Dubuque, a general revival has been in progress socially and spiritually. Rev. B. A. P. Corn, former pastor of the A. M. E. church at Normal, Ill., arrived in this city to assume the pastorate of the Robinson Avenue A. M. E. church here. Services had not been held in the church for the past two years. The pastor with the trustees of the church began the opening of the church and安装 which is so much needed and everybody has become interested. Last week about thirty of the members and friends of the church called at the parsonage in a storm party, filling the coffers to the brim with good things. . . enjoyed a pleasant time. Rev. Penn's sermons are formed to be both interesting and helpful. His last Sunday morning's subject was: "More than Conquerors." In the evening [4] subject was "Temperance Talk, incident and conferment." The next subject in the series of hearings, which we are anxious to hear Sunday evening, will be "God, His Existence and Nature." Misses Lizzie and Ester Lesters of Galena, Ill., added much to the musical program and as Mr. Leonard Lewis of our city is a composer of note, the music was of the best that could be bad and at 8 p. m. the Masonic lodge (Dubuque 29) filed n and marched to the music, this being their first anniversary. To hear one of the most interesting and instructive sermons that we have had the pleasure to listen to since the arrival of our young divine. We were all agreeably surprised when we learned that the Rev. himself is a Mason. He used the 16th Prov. and sermon. "By Mercy and Truth iniquity is purged," etc. Mrs. C. C.
