Plymouth Rock, Iowa, now sexton in
charge of the church, visited the drug
store of r. J. Sturgeon, of Canton, and
bought q pane OF his cheap glass.
Druggist Sturgeon is Protestant, and
gave him the first outside pane as the
glass stood in the rack. It was few
inches longer one way than the size
wanted Q8x1S), and Mr. Sturgeon cut it
down to the desired proportions. He as
serts positively that except the accumu-
lation of dust there was nothing visible
on the glass as it left his hands. Nc
Bride, with one or two others, put this
glass into the empty window, but did not
fit it snugly, as the glass was square,
while the sash was circular. Upon re-
turning from the interior Of the little
tower to the yard in front OF the church,
it was noticed that there was 8 shadowy
something visible on the glass, and No
BRIDE took it down and washed it clean
in the presence OF "Old Nick" Snyder,
man born and brought up in Somerset,
Ohio, now living in Canton, and others.
By the time the glass was again put in
place a number had gathered. Several
at once exclaimed that something was
becoming visible in the glass, and after
| one or two shadowy transitions face re-
appeared in the window. The sun waa

that on Friday morning, October IA, he
reached the scene of the apparition and
saw faint outline of human face in the
new glass. More than this, in the left
hand organ loft window may be made
out the faces of three chsrubs, and in the
corresponding window on the right hand
side can be plainly seem cross, and a
kneeling robed figure clinging to the
lower part of it. It may be accepted aa
fact that all these things are to be seen,
and that the glass is as it came from tho
factory. Had any design been traced,
photographed or imprinted by electricity
with purpose of fraud, the result would
have been unquestionably palmer at a
first view.

It was reported last week that the
"Germania'' of Milwaukee, the most in
auential German paper in the state, had
changed it's support from Peck to Spoon

subscribers of the Germania were so in

most prominent one, and il the German
Protestants wish to settle it thoroughly
