out-of-town people, the nice weather of
the forenoon bringing them out in great

them all to cover. Among those from
the south side We noticed r. B. Hummer,
J. E. Ernst, Chris Meedel, John Engel
and Fred Meedel.

The COLUMBUS JOURNAL has started
a boom for the location Of a new state
normal in that city on account of its
convenience as a railroad center. If We
could c another normal school for
this state we know of no better location
than Columbus. The present normal is
located at the southeastern extremity of
the state, and is as easy of access to the
people of Iowa and Missouri as to those
of our own state.-ICedar Rapids Re-

L. Rossiter, o. D.; Josiah Mcfarland, o.
c.; E. o. Rector, delegate to the encamp-
ment, John Wise, alternate. The next

G.. and S. of V. wished to unite in public
installation of officers, they could do so.
The evening congregations of Grace
(EpiscopaD church have been steadily
growing. Last Sunday night Mrs.

Interesting revival meetings we're
held in the Presbyterian church the last
two weeks, closing Sabbath evening. |
Rev. DIR. S. T. Davis of Omaha assisted
the pastor most of the time rendering |
valuable help. DR.. Davis is a ready,
forcible and instructive preacher. His
preludes hit hard and cut close. As a
result of the meetings, eight were re-
ceived into the church last Sabbath and
more have signiied their intention to
come, while some will likely unite with
other churches with whom they have
been associated.
