81 have story for you, said a drum
mer to reporter for the Des Moines
Leader. 81 don't mean yarn or a
joke. but simple account of fact. Last
week was out in Iowa, and one night
stopped at the Ballingall House, in Of
tumwa. There became well acquainted
with quiet young man, and through
my acquaintanceshi with him was let
into little secret which not half a
dozen people in the town knew.
On his invitation sat in his
room in the evening and he
told me that he was a minister Of the
gospel who had been ordained few
weeks before, and had come to Ottumwa
to perform the marriage ceremony for
some friends OF his. In fact, the cere-
mony was to take place that very night
in his room. Pretty soon rather elder
ly couple came in. shook hands warmly
with my friend, ending in standing up
before him and being married IN the
usual form. After time they left and
my new friend said to me;
" That, think, is the most peculiar
marriage ceremony minister ever per-
formed. | never heard OF its equal and
never expect to-
"What do you mean?' said.
"'Pll tell you, was his reply, only
you must bear in mind that it is secret.
My father and mother were pioneers in
country not far from this city. l was
reared on their farm and finally sent off
to school. My parents are well-todo
people, church.workers, and are highly
respected in the neighborhood. About
two years age my father wrote me a let
ter, in which he wanted my advice and
assistance. To make the story short,
and not to stop to describe the peculiar
circumstances, can say that my fathers
trouble was that he had never been mar
ried to the woman who passed as his
wife. For years they had been satisfied
with this relationship, but at length my
mother began to worry over it. She
wanted the ceremony performed legally.
My father had no objection, but did not
dare to go to any minister or functiouary
in the neighborhood. You know what
country communities are, and what un-
pleasant talk would have followed?
Then my father consulted me, and the
result of it was a decision to wait awhile.
Two weeks ago l was ordained o minis
ter, and our plans were then carried
out The couple 1 have just married
were my own father aud mother"

Among the many people of this pros.
porous city to whom the New Year
brings its assurances of renewed happi-
ness none are subjects OF congratula-
tions more emphatically than are the
employees of the Farmers aud Merchants
Bank, each aud every one of whom were
generously remembered by their liberal
employer in the handsome present of a
purse Of 800 each. In this substantial
institution under its wise management
there is no dispute between labor and
capital. The services there are faith
fully performed not as services but as a
labor of love given for sense OF loyal
devotion to an employer who is always
more than just in his spirit OF large
hearted generosity.

Last night at IL O'Clock sharp the
whole police force assembled at the sta.
iion. The new Chief, j. w. Davis,
took charge of the office at the hands of
the retiring Chief, John Horner Chas.
A. Kettler did the same kind office for
Captain IL. II. Benedict, the retiring
second in command A big pile of
stars lay ON the desk-"fallen stars for
the nonee, but they soon rose and shone
again respondent on the many manly
breasts of the new appointees, to whom
they were handed by Mr.. Davis. Cap
tain Kettler then called the roll and then
the first watch went on duty and those
off watch went to their vrtuous couches.
Thus the old passed away and the new
came into life.

This event. which was decidedly one
Of the notable ones OF the season, took
place last night, and the hall was with
out any exaggeration crowded. The
German colony were there in full force,
reinforced by a very long list Of their
friends, regardless Of nationality. The
floors were cleared shortly after s o'clock
and TO a splendid band twinkling feet
kept time TO the sound Of the seiectest
gems of music until nearly the hour
when midnight chimes rang out the
old. rang in the new"
On the stage was beautiful Christmas
tree decked in all the beauty OF the
''Fatherland" style, where Santa
Claus and Christmas trees were
frat invented. When the dancers
were tired the ladies and children
were invited 10 gather in front Of the
stage where a bag was held in which
were series Of numbers. Each lady
and child put In their thumb, or FIN
ger, and drew out number. The
prizes or gifts were numbered simulta-
neously, and as these numbers were
drawn the corresponding prize was pre-
scented to the one who drew il. The
gifts were valuable, beautiful, useful,
valueless, worthless, funny and all the
several sorts that fertile imaginations
could devise. The drawer Of course was
satisfied and pleased with her luck.
Here the fun ran fast aud furious. as
the unexpected and ludicrous gifts were
disclosed. To say that joy reigned
supreme and mirth was at fever heat
only partly expresses the truth. This
done the floor was once more cleared,
the band again strung their sweet instru'
ments, each gallant dancer whirlsd his
"sweetness" into the dizzy mazes Of the
giddy waltz and all again went merry
as a marriage bell, and as the old year
died in joy, so was the new
one born until the stars began
10 dim their Intellectual fires and the
guardians of the roosts began to chant
their New Years greeting to the waking
world. Then the hslf-sated devotees
OF the gay goddess sought the arms of
Morpheus, there still to dream of
" chasing the fleeing hours with flying
feet" to awake and wish the next An
nual Ball Of Turnverein Germania were
TO come tonight.
