In spite of tho rain last night, and
tho desperate state ofthe roads, aud
the lowering condition of tho wealth.
cr to-day, that has constantly threat
ened a terrific storm, the loyal peo-
pie of Wapcllo, and adjoining coun-
ties, commenced pouring in, in dele
cations and singly, until it is cstima.
ted that fully ten thousand people
have been in attendance in the city,
and the crowds assembled around
the speakers stand is counted by
the acre.
AT about noon the procession, un-
der the admirable management of
Chief Marshal, Col. Mahon, and his
efficient Assistants, was formed with
the speakers IN front, followed by
the Ottumwa Silver Cornet Band,
who discoursed their finest music

affair was the most magniiicently
gotten up of anything Of the kind
ever before attempted in this neck Of

cannot be said in praise of the good
taste Of tho fair ladies engaged in the
matter, the Committee having it
specially in charge, and more par
ticularly to P. G. Ballingall and II.

sesscs many features which strongly

business is conducted on tho mutual
plan, which means in this case that
the insured are equally benefited
with the insurers. Its list of officers
and directors includes the names OF
many of the wealthiest men in the
country, aud Of the heaviest business
men. By q comparison of it's rates
with those of other companies it will

any other--a consideration which

persons wishing to insure, Its CAPT
tai is abundant, and its safety beyond
a peradventure. There need not be
the slightest fear in this respect. It

admirable feature not usually found

cellent arrangement.
