ing Sermon Preached by Rev. McCuIIocI
Notes Picked up on the Grounds.
Tindall's Grove, Aug. 90
Yesterday was Woman's Foreig
Missionary day on Milan camp ground.
The first meeting was held mt $50.
Rev. J. F. Robinson. of the First
church Moline. conducted this serv-
ice of PRAYER and bible study.
A missionary sermon ut 1890 was
preached by Rev. c. O. McCulloch, of
Rock Island. and was in his usual
conducted the other service. which
was Il spirited conservation meeting.
The Junior League service. held in
the large tabernacle. was led by Miss
Carrie Altz, of Moline The thought
presented and considered was chris
tian strength. The meeting was very
largely attended, and 4 good intere st
was manifested by all present.
The , o'clock woman's missionary
conference was held ut the tent of
Rev. McOmber, of Taylor Ridge. The
meeting was strictlv of business
nature. The question as to how to
best apply the funds of the society
was deliberately discussed.
The 3 O'Clock service was in charge
of the district president. After the
short song service Mrs. Robinson, of
Moline. read the scripture lesson.
Mrs. Cruel then led in prayer. The
audience was then favored with
vocal duet by Messrs. McOmber and
Rutter.
Mrs. Busbv, n returned missionary
from India, followed with an inter
esting and instructive address on the
Religion and Religious Beliefs of the
People of India She said that the
religions there were found under the
three divisions-theistic. atheistic
and pantheistic. The boldest forms
of superstition clouded the entire pie
ture the transmigration of the soul,
the worship of animals, mountains,
rivers. sun and fire being some of the
forms of worship mentioned.
At 4:15 was the young people 5
meeting in charge of Rev. G. +.
Crane. of Sunbeam. The subject here
discussed was Missions.
The O'Clock song service was led
by Rev. Robinson. and it was exceed
ingly lively and interesting.
In the absence of Mrs. X. II. Pooley,
eX-presidcnt OF the northwestern
branch of the w. F. Nj. s.. Mr.. Busbv, |
who spent five years in India, made !
the evening address. The talk set |
forth the condition of the country, |
and from the talk one could not but |
infer the great need of missionaries !
in that portion of the world.
At the afternoon service a collec- |
ton was taken, and in all amounted |
to about $500.
1t was very chilly at the latter part |
IF the evening services; otherwise the |
lay was perfect for camping out.

meeting in the tabernacle tomorrow |
afternoon at l so O'Clock.

walton wages and the destruction o; nearly
all Industries For proof on this ques-
ten OF improved conditions IT Is onIy neces-
sary to quote from the Aberdeen Herald, a
Popullst paper. which recently had this
able argument or the advantage OF the
gold standard ard the benefit TO the work
.ngmen under Republican rule:
Times Oh Grays Harbor are iiveiier than
for several years past. The demand for
lumber OF all kinds and shingles mas in
creased 80 rapidly that every mill 10 run
ming AZ its full capacity and IS over
crowded with orders. In most OF the !urn-
Der camps tsera has been an advance in
wages frona 3i5o 20 si.7s per day; In some
"a uaps they are receiving from Sc q to 81
ard II Is certain thers will be a similar
increase in the wages OF Mill hands short
iy"
I have no idea that the editor of the
Aberdeen HERALD mean; this as a political
sermon when he printed Il, but 10 my
mind Il Is the most convincing argumem;
In favor OF tbs Republican administration
that he could have written. and besides
there is nc question Of is truth.
To State Fish Commissioner Little In

The certainty OF the county going Re-

lack Of candidates for places On the fs3-

ina:sors for school superintendent asses
sor ard..o- clerk sheriff surveyor and

isea. for no other reason than that there
are 10 opposing candidates Not a single
PopuIist club has yet been organised in
Clarke county. while TWO years ago ~ ahs
date there was not precinct in the county

Another indication is the lack Of attend
ance az the primaries. IN Vancouver.
where SO votes are cast. there was by
actual count just q votes cast N the three
city precincts for delegates by the Popu-
Lists. and just IA BY ths Democrats. In
many precincts oniy enough turned out 70
eiect themselves delegates. and IL several
no primaries were held at all.
The Republicans are active and have be-
gun 10 organize clubs. and hold meetings.
Candidates are numerous. and thorough
harmony prevails. Conservative estimates
give the Republicans from 30 20 so major
ity, and the election OF the entire ,ickef.
