The Iowa State Register says:
"Mr. Hildreth's lecture was on
"CaIifornia and It's Wonders. And
! who has not heard OF this subject
read Of IL until he thinks he knows
al about It. Yet the speaker at the
start drew the attention Of the large
audience and kept them spelibound
during hts entire address. It was
succinct, graphic, and delivered In .
clear tone. In freshness and exact
ness Of detail, In the impartiality with
which all possible sources Of informa
ton have been searched, in learning
and scholarly finish, it is absolutely
unapproached by any similar lecturs
delivered from the rostrum."

PeIIa Items.


The prevailing topic ofconversation
for the last week has been the mys-
terious disappearance Of the Rev.
Subli, pastor Of the Third Reformed
Church In this city. The facts In the
case are az follows: About ten months
since the little band of the above
named church extended an invitation,
in due time he made his appearance,
accompanied by his wife. Being a
fluent speaker and of winning man
ners, he soon succeeded In gaining the
con fidence Of his flock, as well as that
OF Others with whom he came in con-
tact. Thus matters have stood fol
the past ten months. Finding that
he had become popular-the first part
OF his scheme-now was the time to
execute the remainder. Accordingly
on the 18th inst, he passed around
among his members, borrowing from
any who had to lend, $40 Of this one,
$40 from that one, and IL is rumored
500 of one of the Banks. He also
bought gold watch Of Yandermulen
Bros, which was debted to his &C
count. Then he mysteriously disap-
peared leaving debts, 1t is said, to the
amount OF $500 behind.
When last heard from he was at
Chicago; from there he addressed o
letter to his wife, who Is still here
stating that he was bound for Holland
his native country.
