Lonsdale Avenue Branch Have Disbandod
and Joined Other Churches.
Some little time ago the Peoples Mis-
sion, that is the original congregation, fell
out among themselves and split In two.
The dissatisfied ones left and began hold
ing services in Foresters' Hall, Lonsdale
avenue, while the other branch remained
and held services In the chapel. Another
disagreement has taken place among the
seceders, who have been holding forth on
Lonsdale avenue.
Some disagreement has taken place, and
one part of the congregation have Joined
the Union City Mission on Dexter street,
while the balance have joined the Primi-
tive Methodlsts, and will continue to
worship at the old stand. The religion Of
this class of people seems to be very elastic.
for 1t is no trouble for them to jump from
one belief to another.

A NEW CANDIDATE.

Ray q. Huling's Name Mentioned For
Truant Oficer.
The latest news, and news that will sur
prise no one who Is acquainted with the
renowned parsonage, is to the effect that
Ray Green Huling is a candidate for the
position Of truant officer. Any one who
has the distinguished honor OF being per-
sonally acquainted with Ray will doubt
the fact that II the Office comes his way
he will wink the other eye and rake ii in.
Ray has long reach, and any old thing,
from chief OF police to truant officer, will
do for him. In connection with this it
might be stated that the City Council
ought to do something handsome for Ray,
as he worked like Trojan during the last
campaign in his house-to- house canvass
in the Second ward. Unfortunately, Ray
has the luck of putting his foot i'm it, and
the City Council may determine to forego
his valuable services i'm this position and
elect a much lesser intellect. This, OF
course, in Rays opinion, will be base in
gratitude, but, unfortunately, IL cannot be
helped II the City Council is too dense to

RICHARD TURNED DOWN.

Committee on Police Trying to Buildoze
the Mayor.
1t has come at last, the heighth Of alb
surdity has been reached by the commit
tee on police of the Board of Aldermen.
The dark lantern contingent insults every
citizen in this city by insulting the Mayor
of the city. The doughty warrior from the
fourth ward, the chairman OF the commit
tee on police, called upon the Mayor last
evening and summoned him to appear be-
fore that committee and be Investigated.
The chairman of the committee was the
chosen instrument of the trio to wait up
on the Mayor. Richard started of like
his namesake of old, "Richard C1ur de
Lion,D but unlike him of old, as he drew
near the Mayors house his courage began
to ooze from the tips of his fingers, and by
the time he reached the house he was as
weak as q lamb. He slid In, rather than
walked, and upon the Mayor making his
appearance the following conversation
took place:
Mr.. Keene (extending his hand)-Good
evening, doctor.
The Mayor-Good evening, Mr.. Keene,
but do not care about your hand.
Mr.. Keene-Could you find time to come
over to the Committee on Police? We
want to ask you few questions?
The Mayor-No, sir!
Mr.. Keene-We would like to have you.
The Mayor-You have exceeded your
authority.
Mr.. Keene-I don't know but what we
have.
The notwithstanding that fact
/ have instructed the members of the
police force to appear before your COM
mittee, and tell the truth. II your COM
mittee were actuated by proper motives
would 60 willingly, but am aware Of the
motives which prompts these moves.
Mr.. Keene-O, no! no! You are wrong
The Mayor-There Is no need OF an ar
gument. know what is behind this II
you do not.
Mr.. Keene-Well, don't.
The Mayor-You ought to; you are q
member of the committee.
Mr.. Keene-I think it would be better
for you to come.
The Mayor-We will see about that later
Good evening; good evening.

FLAG DAY EXERCISES.

Children of the Public schools BOnoring &
the National Emblem.
A tour through the different schools at
an early hour this afternoon presented a
beautiful picture. A pleasant rivalry has
sprung up among the teachers, and to no
less degree among the scholars, too, to
see who could produce the most elaborate
program for the days exercises. On occa-
sions of this kind it is most gratifying to
see the neat and prettily dressed misses,
the boys dressed in their Sunday garments,
and the teachers, too, adding few touches
to their personal charms, all this added to
the animated countenances of the children
presented sight once seen, but never for
gotten.

The Evangelical Lutheran Minister
UNI Tries in Vain to Settle the
Question.

Lancaster, Pa, June 19.-The Evangeli-
cal Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylva-
MIA and adjacent states considered today
the case of Rev. W. H. Cornman of Read
ing, who was mentioned in the reports of
the committee of presidents as member
of the A1inisterium engaged in work OUT
side of the active ministry. He is a no
tary public in Reading, which office was
pronounced quasi-politicaI.
There were references in the speeches
to the danger of permitting the ministry
to be degraded by the slightest tinge of
politics. to which a lay brother replied
with a suggestion that the post of notary
public was a responsible, dignifed, and
honorable one, afforded it's holder some
emoIument, was no more Incompatible
with the office of the ministry than were
the agricultural occupations which some
of the clergymen present were accustom-
ed to regale themselves at times, Incl
dentaIly adding to their incomes by do
ing this work which was not exactly in
the line of ministerial service He also
told the synod that in addition to being
notary public the Rev. Mr.. Cornman also
helped to support himself and his family
by selling religious books and church pa
pers. Mr.. Cornman himself appeared be-
fore the synod and pleaded to be retained
on the rolls, saying that the reason that
he was not now engaged in preaching the
Gospel from the pulpit was a physical in
trinity which made his voice useless at
times. While the synod was in a hope
less maze of motions, amendments and
substitutes as to what ought to be done,
the knot was cut by DR.. Seiss, the weston
of the body, who had the whole matter
laid upon the table. Mr.. Cornman's name
remains upon the ministerial roll.

BILL WHITE ON CATTLE.

That old stockman and cattle punch
er, William Allen White, who is as
versatile as he is entertaining, gives the
following editorial advice in the EN-
poria Gazette. Anything that Bill writes
is good to read. whether he knows what
he is talking about or not. He says:
There is danger ahead in the steer
business. Too many fellows are putting
money in feeders. Feeders are too
sell for three and four and five and
won't fill out. The men who have theirs
on their hands are going to try to dump
them on the market next fall and
there's going to be a tumble Don't get
too many feeders on hand Stock up
your COW herds; they will keep year af-
ter year and you can get something out
of them. 1t will pay better at the pres
ent prices to raise calves to sell rather
than to buy them to feed. Cattle are
going to slump. Too many men have
paid too much for their feeders and
they are going to try to unload at any
price next fall. The market will be
overlooking. The buyers will have their
own way. Mr.. Cattleman will get his
fingers burned. He will go bust. There
will be an auction sale, and the devil to
pay, at ten per cent. with a big cattle
mortgage You fellows think you are
mighty wise. Take a FOOLS advice and
go slow. Now is the time to buy cows
and get a three legged stool and a
bucket A year from now and the hens
will be paying the defaulted interest on
a lot of farms

REFUSES HIS SALARY.

[From the Chicago Tribune.1
Rudolph Lehfeldt who returned his
salary as a member of the extra ses-
sion has had a peculiar history in Iowa
politics. His home is near Denison.
His district is composed of Harrison,
Crawford, and Monona counties, a dis
trict which is naturally Democratic. Mr..
Lehfeldt was nominated but refused to

sWOre that if elected he would not
serve. But he was one of the few men
whose election by the Republicans was
possible and his refusal was not taken.
He attended only a few sessions year
ego. and when the extra session con
vened he was again found wanting He
a tie. He came from DenisOn to vote for
a manufacturing law and to vote
against the Temple amendment.
Mr. Lehfeldt was born in Germany In
1914. He came to Iowa in 1870 and took
up farming, which he has so successful
ly followed that he is estimated to be
now worth 5000 900. His specially has
been sheep growing. He has a ranch
in Montana and stops his sheep on the
way to the eastern markets at his
Crawford county farms to fatten them
on Iowa cOrn. His last shipment of
sheep consisted of 5000 head, which
Chicago prices because of their good
condition. They were bought by the
Armours for the special English trade
Mr.. Lehfeldt is 50 years old. He has
been three times married, and when
nearly four score became the father of
a pretty little girl, who is the pride of
his old age.
