OUR IOWA BUDGET.

Now that the evenings are long the
spiritual and social interests OF the
church are receiving more attention,
and there are rumors and statements OF
a forward movement all along the line.
Fairs are in progress, some are rejoicing
in revival services and some OF our sun
day schools are even now looking up
their music for the Christmas exercises.
MARsHALLTOWN.
Under the administration of thenew
and self sacrificing pastor. Rev. L. b.
Dotter. we are glad to hear that condi'
lions are becoming far more hopeful at
Marshalltown.
Sunday November 3,was duly observed
as All Souls Day, and the audiences
morning and evening were the largest
yet present. A Bible Glass has been
organized in the Sunday school, and 1t
is intended to revive the Y. P. Q. U.
without which no parish is in good work
ing order. The evening of November Z,
the ladies served splendid chicken pie
supper at the church, the receipts being
1855. The pastor advertised and
preached a sermon November 10, on

the proceedings and reports OF the Meri-
den Convention.
seems to be on the up grade under the
pastorate of Rev. j. l.. Everton, who was
called there last August. A member OF
the parish reports progress and renewed
interest in all departments. They have
a good choir and orchestra. The Y. P.
@. U. is increasing in numbers, and hold
devotional meetings every Sunday and
social meetings every two weeks. They
are to conduct the regular church SER
vices on the fourth Sundays OF the
month when the pastor breaches for the
Otranto friends. Evidently they are
bound to succeed and we indulge the
hope that they will, with their pastor
hold rally" with the young people of
Otranto and revive the Y. P. @. U. there.
Gould they not organize a Union at
Wheeler also? You know we must have
100 new Unions organized this year be-

but we should expect as much under the
able pulpit ministrations and warm pas
toral relations of Bro. Palmer. His ser
mon on October 20. on The Need OF
Public Conscience" as reported in the
STANDARD" was a most vigorous and
trenchant denunciation of wrong doing
in high places. and an appeal to the
Christian church and people to stand
for justice, humanity and brotherhood
Sunday evening, the choir gave a very
pleasing concert assisted by the best
local talent.

Chicago public school teachers met
recently and discussed the movement for
free text books in the schools Of this city
The expression of opinion almost unan-
imously favored free books for all schol-
ars. The question was considered in it's
sanitary aspects, in reference to the
charge made that transference of books
from one child to another might be pro-
ductive of disease, and the opinions of
$50 physicians were submitted, all agree
ing that this was possibility, but plac-
ing in evidence only one case.
Your goodness must have some
edge to it, else it is none.

WATERLOO.
We report things moving along quiet
ly with an upward trend and sense OF
increasing strength. The Sunday-school
has hired one of the best music teachers
in the city to come to the church at Z
o'clock Thursday evenings and teach old
and young to sing, and together have a
half hour praise service followed by a
half hour of spiritual conference and
study of the Sunday school lesson. 1t
is proving to be good plan. and good
interest is manifested. The ladies' re-
cent chicken-pie supper brought them
in S21 so. Pastor Getchell and wife have
moved from the west to the east side OF
the river, and friends will find their
latch string out at the Lane house.
NOTES.
We understand Iowa Falls has new
pastor, Rev. G. w. SHILLING Unitarian
late of DEBORAH. Our pastors ut Man
chester and Usage exchanged pulpits
Sunday November 10. The Executive
Board Of the State Convention held a
meeting in Des Moines November 10.
Bros. Crum and Reyes exchanged pull
pits Sunday. November II.
When all our State Conventions are
handicapped for doing church extension
work for lack of funds at this time, it is
strange that they do not realize the pos
sibilities of the General Convention
"Cent "a Day plan" ofindividual contrib
buttons, to help them out. Do they re-
member that one-half of the receipts
fromC Cent. Day pledges are returned to
the State from whence the money comes?
It would seem, then, that it would be
we'll for Convention Boards and State
Missionaries to make great effort to
placeCent a-Day pledges with our mem
bership. The Register" says Iowa has
1859 Universalist families, and numbers
few more members. But suppose one
in every family took and paid every year
the amount Of Cent-a-Day pledge. 1t
would make S3,965.35 one half of which
or S1,93200 would be sent back to U.S.
With this and what we could get from
parishes and individual State pledges
we could do much indeed to build up
our cause. Friends let us do it, cheer
fully, as duty we owe to our Conven
tions as loyal Universalists. E. s.

Bailey Sues Rourke.

D. w. Bailey has brought suit in
the state circuit court against T, F.
Rourke, says the Portland Oregon
ian, for a partnership accounting,
alleging that Rourke is his debtor
in large sum. Bailey states that
he and Rourke, during the year
1891 and the year 1892, and up to
March 5, were engaged in various
enterprises and business together,
and that there existed between
them an open and mutual account.
Bailey asserts that at divers times
Rourke received large sums of
money, to be used for their benefit.
Bailey says he has often demanded
an accounting from Rourke for the
several joint sums in his possession,
and that he has refused to COM
ply.

LA GRANDE, Ore, Dec. IL
Inasmuch as much interest is be-

permitted to cut timber and remove
the same from the tract embraced
in his entry, and as an erroneous
impression is going abroad as to
Just what the law is on the SUBJ

Of justice to those concerned, to
state the rule applicable to such
cases. Homesteaders will find the
same printed in red ink upon the
margin Of the duplicate receipts is
sued by the land office officials, and
it is a follows:
Climber fand embraced in a
homestead, OF other entry not con-
summated, may be cleared in order
to cultivate the land and improve
the premises,fbut for no other pur-
pose. If, after cleaning the land
for cultivation, there remains more
there is no objection to the settler
disposing of the same But the
question whether the land is being
cleaned for it's timber for legitimate
purposes is a question Of facts
which is liable to be raised at any
time. If theItimber is cut and re-
moved for any other purpose it
will subject the entry to cancella-
tion, and the person who cut it
will be liableito civil suit, for the
value of said timber, and also TO
criminal prosecution under Section
2,451 of the Revised Statutes.
This has been the law of the case
for many years and is the law now,
and persons interested should act
accordingly.
