IMrRovED OATs.-Last spring we
gave to Mr.. G. J. Thompson, of Pleas
ant township, quart Of Waterloo
White Oats, sent us from the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
for distribution. He scwed them in
rich, black loan, never rnanured about
the 10th Of April and cut them on the
22d of July. The net product of the
quart was AZ lbs. Of good plump
grained oats, and very few faulty
grains. He will save this seed to sow
again next spring, and thinks he now
has seed that is far superior to the
oats usually sown in this county.

Second Days Proceedings Of the
0skaloosa Baptist Association.

2P.M. After Devotional exercises
led by Rev. Pratt, listened to report
of several committees some of which
elected warm discussion.
80 p. N. The committee on Sun
day Schools reported by their chair
man, Rev. Sunderland. The report
is as follows:
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY
SCHOOL WORK.
The Sunday School work is the
primary work of the churches. 1t
begins with the little children. 1t
brings to them primary truth. 1t
brings them into direct contact with
the primary source Of truth, the word
of God, and thus is adapted to all
classes and ages. Proper success in
Sunday School work is only attained
by church, when its entire member
ship are in as regular attendance up
on this as upon other services of the
church, and when all the children in
the community, not attending else-
where are gathered in, and when the
work of the school is so carried on
that souls are converted and the
church strengthened. Such a meth
cd of Sunday School work, we be-
lievc to be practicable, and at such
success we earnestly urge our schools
to aim.
We recommend the International
System of uniform lessons, with the
many helps afforded to the under.
standing of the same by The Baptist
Teacher, and our weekly denomina-
tional papers.
We commend to our State Conven-
tion the importance Of sustaining a
good State Sunday School mission.
ary.
We believe that the cultivation Of
benevolencc should begin with the
children in the Sunday School, and
that every school, and every scholar
and teacher should contribute to oul
State Sunday School work, and Other
missionary objects.
1 We recommend the appointment
of standing Sunday Schoo
committee, whose duty it shall be t,
advance the cause in any way deemed
practicable by them.
\ Pending the report, the following
subjects were discussed:
i l Why do we sustain Sunda,
Schools? Rev. Adkins.
i Under what circumstances is ,
church excusable from sustaining |
Sunday School? Rev. Childs.
What will excuse Christian from
the responsibility of labor in th'
Sunday School? Rev. Mitchell.
\ When has church reached success
in its Sunday School work3 Rev
Hildreth.
. The gentlemen spoke short and Il
the point. After which the follow
: ing resolution was passed:

The railroad muddle at Eldon, be-
tween the employees and the railroad
company, seems to be settled, new
men have been employed instead OF
the strikers and trains are running
again as usual. At one time about 25
or 30cngines were at Eldon. ready to
60 out, but no person could be found
to act in the capacity of firemen. AS
fast as any one could be induced to
act, the strikers would gather around
and if possible, persuade him from
taking the part of the railroad COM
pany, or, in the event moral suasion
failed, they would good humoredly
remove the fireman from the engine
by force.
In one instance conductor of a
passenger train after holding his
train at Eldon about hours without
being able to get another fireman,
turned over his train to a brakeman
and took his position in the cab and
made fireman of himself. Yes
terday train was ready to start and
when the fireman and engineer took
their places every pin was pulled and
the train all uncoupled while
the officers were standing around.
This was repeated several times,
and finally the switch engine
got behind the train and pushed
it out of the county. There were
many incidents going to show the
determination of the men, although
generally they were very orderly.
There was no drinking or loud talk
ing, and no destruction of property.
Several of the ring-leaders left
Elion for Fairfield yesterday
to operate there, but Sheriff
Spilman telegraphed the Sheriff
of Jefferson county to arrest
them on their arrival, which he
did, and lodged them in Jail. The
same programme was carried out at
Centerville, after which the bottom
seemed to fall out of the revolt, and
then trains were allowed to depart
unmolested.

F. Adkins.
"a. M.-Business. Report Of COM
mittee on resolutions, Rev. Mitchell,
Chairman.
The committee on Benevolent Eff
fort and Resolutions beg leave to sub
nit the following resolutions:
Resolved, That while we feel gratc-
full to God for any measure of success
that has attended the efforts of the
churches during the past year, we
deeply deplore the dearth Of fruits in
our Associational Zion, and we urge
upon all, ministers and churches, q
more complete conservation to the
service of Christ, vigorous, united eff
fort and prayer in every department
of Christian work, and especially the
incubation and cultivation of spirit
of larger and more scriptural benev-
olence in carrying on the work of
Christ at home and abroad.
Resolced, That we chcerfully and
heartily commend our great dcnomi-
national enterprises viz: The Iowa
Baptist State Convention the Aheri-
can Baptist Missionary Union; the
American Baptist Home Mission
Society the American Baptist Pub
lication Society the American Bible
Union and the Iowa Baptist Union
for Ministerial Education earnestly
urge that every member of every
church in our Association do some-
thing for each of these noble societies.
ResOlced, That we heartily COM
mend the aims and work Of the
Woman's Baptist Missionary Society,
and earnestly desire that branch
be formed, and cordially supported
in every church.
Resolred, That we re-affirm our
constant and abiding interest in the
cause of Christian education, and that
we will give our sympathy, prayer
and support for all institutions which
are doing good work in the cause of
Christ and sound learning. We cor
daily commend the centennial move
hCft anu tIuSt tuc y cdV uldy uot uc
allowed to pass without all our
churches contributing to this grand
enterprise, Association cause and as
God has prospered them.
Resolved, That we urge the sup
port and use of our denominational
literature in our families and Sunday
schools, especially our own State pa
pers, the BAPTIST Beacon, the Stand
ard, the Missionary Magazine and
Macedonian, the Baptist Teacher and
Young Reaper.
ResolUed, That we pledge our cor
dial support to the cause of temper
ance and that we will by word and
by deed inculcate the belief and urge
the practice of total abstinence upon
all, especially upon the young. We
oppose the manufacture, use and sale
of alcoholic drinks and tobacco.
Resolced, That the church and the
people of Ottumwa have our true ap-
probation and hearty thanks for
their generous hospitality.

The COURIER received call to-day
from David M. Conley, Esq, Of Ell

date Of Mr.. Porter Clay Welch's late
Oskaloosa convention, for Congress.
Mr.. Conlcy is young lawyer of

his country with credit in Crocker's

has about as mnch prospect Of being
elected to Congress as Green Clay
Smith, Peter Cooper, or Samuel J.

and that is just no prospect at all.
Nevertheless, he has accepted the
and proposes to canvass
the entire district. We presume that
he can make about as good an argu-
ment in favor of creating money by
act Of Congress as any man in the
district.

you cut in two parts one dollar bill
