THE DEBT RAISED.
Baptists Succeed In wiping Out an
Indebtedness Of 81, 200 With
Little Effort.
DR.. Parsons Demonstrates That It is
Not Necessary to Give suppers
and sociables.

Rev. Dr. Parsons. of the Baptist
church, before going away for his sum
mer vacation, called the officials of the
society together and after canvass of
the subject of meeting debt of about
$1,000 yet remaining on the church as
result of the late improvements placed
upon the building it was determined to
make an appeal to the members to VOL
UNFAIRLY subscribe the amount of this
debt. This was done, but the complete
result was not announced at the time
although 1t was known to be very sat
isfactory. During his absence, how
ever, he has issued a circular letter to
contributors to the fund, from which
the following Is taken:
II am sure that you will take pleas
ure in learning that our entire Indebted
ness for church Improvement has been
provided for. 1t affords me as your
pastor great deal of pleasure to an
nounce that these pledges have come go
easily 1t reminds one of the early
Jewish history when the people had to
be restrained from giving. l am glad
to be the pastor of so kind and helpful
Il a people. 1t is something wonderful
that so much money has come this year
with SO little being said about money
affairs. In the present case no one was
asked to give. A simple statement of
the condition of affairs was made, and
then an opportunity to help was offered,
and the friends responded nobly and
generously. think it is a demonstra-
ton that it is easier to raise money in
this way for church matters than by
church suppers and entertainments.
desire to thank you most heartily for
your friendly words and kind assist
ance. wish you could know how much
easier it makes the work of your pastor
when you respond with such good
wishes for the welfare of the church 1t
may be that In some cases you felt that
you could not give very much; but your
desire to help which was so kindly ex-
pressed lightened the toll and cheered
the heart of your pastor
! AS DIR. Parsons has stated, a simple
appeal was made with surprising re-
suits, the entire amount being pledged.
1t indicates the unity of the society
as we'll as the good effects of this
prosperous era. AS indicated in the
pastors statement the church is trying
the experiment of dispensing with
church suppers, in order to avoid the
disagreeable features that are always
mingled with the good in such efforts
land thus far the attempt is regarded as
successful. Other socierles are watching
the effort and may be led to initiate the
example.
! The church is now building beauti-
full parsonage on a lot owned by it on
South Second street and it is expected
that it will be ready for occupancy be-
fore winter begins. 1t will cost about
1900 and Is modern and convenient and
attractive in appearance, and will be a
splendid home for DR.. Parsons and
family and all others who may succeed
j them in the future.

I. IS NILES o. PAVING
Marshalltown Ranks Well With
Western Cities Using vitrifed
Brick on Streets.
But Five Cities in the State Have
More Miles Of Brick Paving
Than This City.
"a Tabulatsd Statement From an
Authority Brick VS.. Other
Kinds Of Pavement.

Among the most valuable of recent
contributions to literature on BRICK
paving is an article by H. Foster Balm,
state geologist. which appeared in a re-
cent issue of the Review of Reviews.
In his article Mr.. Balm presents table
showing the use to which that class of
paving has attained in the west in re-
cent years. From these figures it will
be seen that Marshalltown ranks well
with the western cities, and from it's ex-
perience it has no desire to change TIC
some other class of material. The table
is as follows.

Iowa has leading share of this
growth of street Improvement. Ir 1897
1T was third, following Illinois and
Ohio, in the product, producing So Bis
paving brick at s7.57 per thousand. Mr..
Balm in his article says of general i'm
provements: with lights. water and
sewers provided, cement sidewalks and
paved streets follow as matter of
course, but the problem of a satisfac-
tory pavement for small cities and
towns has not been easily solved To
meet the conditions the pavement must
be cheap, easily maintained. clearly, as
noseless as possible, smooth and last
ing. Above all, in the case of the small
err places especially, it must be cheap
measured both in first cost and in re-
| pairs.

Nor will any man in his senses con-
strue the Democratic victory in Mary
land, or the promiscuous state of polit-
ical affairs in Kentucky, as "rebuke''
to President McKinley's administra-
ton. The phases of the waning
moon, just as much, constitute q dis
approval of the policy that patriot
ically and manfully accepts, with a
high purpose faithfully to fulfill them,
the duties and responsibilities, ulteiior
as we'll as immediate, which peace with
Spain imposed upon the United States.
The elections have cleared the track
for the contest of 1900, and the Repub-
lican cause is on the main line, headed
for victory and the harvest of the full
fruits of Dewey's May day victory in
Manila bay.

General Tracy.

One o. "the noblest works of God,
an honest man." is Gen. b. f. Tracy
of New York. He was Union soldier
of high repute for skill, bravery and
patriotism, he was secretary of the
navy In Harrison's administration and
began the creation of the splendid new
navy which won in the Spanish war so
great reuown for America both for the
highest naval skill and intrepidity in
active warfare and for mechanical skill
and efficiency of its ships. He has been
judge of the highest court of New
York and is an attorney in the front
rank among the giants in his profess
sion. Because he accepted the Re-
publican nomination to the Office of
mayor of Greater New York in 1897 in
opposition to the candidate of that
piebald assortment of the odds and
ends of politics which nominated Seth
Low and fouted the regular Republi-
can organization, the mugwump part,
which was the dominating faction of
that mongrel combine, and Repubii-
cans of the Tribune's shadowy school of
beliefs, have been interested in cheap
ening General Tracy's standing as
man and citizen. An effort was
made to connect him with the recent
attempt to impose upon New York
contract for water supply which, it was
shown, was scheme for robbing the
people OF that municipality. Gen.
Tracy was recently examined by the
Mazet investigating committee with the
result which every person whose mind
is free from guile expected. There
was not the smell of fire on Gen.
Tracy's garments. The Brooklyn
Eagle makes these exceedingly per-
tinent comments on his emergence
from the fiery furnace:
Benjamin r. Tracy has been an honest,
able and brave man all his life, and those
who are surprised that he showed honesty,
ability and courage in his examination be-
fore the Mazet committee. this week, ought
should also acutely feel shame for supposing
that, wherever he is, and in whatever he
does, his character would cease to be
test by which his actions would be determin-
ed. He has served his country on the battle
field, in the cabinet and in the courts as
we'll and as efficiently as any man now living
ard he illustrates at the bar his qualities of
public service and the strength Of his char
acter as honorably as auymember Of that pro-
fession Of which he is the leader. We do no
feel like complimenting him upon his testi-
mony, for to compliment a man upon his
honesty or woman on her virtue is little
short OF an insult. But we do feel war; ant
ed in saying to newspapers and to all chat
terers and to all superficial folk, on or off
newspapers that for them to wonder that
Benjamin #. Tracy "has come out all right"
is to show themselves forth to be very fool
ish people and very shallow people, who
should hardly be trusted with the forma-
ton of an opinion at all and who certainly
should neither be respected nor followed,
when they express it,.

EsTCoURT, Natal, Nov, 6.-(Delay-
ed in transmission. )-Mr. Barnard,
proprietor of hotel at Ladysmith, has
arrived here. He gives dismal account
of the situation at Ladysmith. The
Boer artillery was outranging and out
matching the English. The lombard
ment was annoying and becoming de-
structive. The situation WIS grave.
LONDON, Nov. 10-The scanty and
conflicting news from the seat Of war
and the fact that Gen. White has not
yet said word about the alleged fight.
ing around Ladysmith are again pro-
ducing feeling of gloom.
If the Beers ever entertained the
idea of real invasion of Cape Colony,
they have probably now abandoned it
and will devote their energies to reduc-
ing Ladysl 18th. They have only about
week in which to do this. The fact
that they are rather inactive indicates
that they are waiting for something
which they feel sure will justify their
delay. The latest Estcourt dispatches
seem to hint that the garrison is about
to retire further southwark.
Orders have been received at Wool
Wich for the mobilization of siege
train, which is intended for the pur-
pose of Smelling Pretoria. 1t will ap-
proximate the strength of eight bat
teries. Three large steamers have Just
been chartered at Liverpool to convey
the 10000 troops OF the division which
Lord Wolseley yesterday announced
would be modified.
LONDON, Nov, 10-White's pigeon
service is improving. Ladysmith was
heard from last on Thursday. Butler
reports message from White saying
that the bombardment by the Beers
continues daily. Casualties inflicted
are few. The Beers sent number of
refugees from the rransvaal under a
flag of truce to the British and q depu-
tation met them outside the picket line.

The Election In Ohio.

Writing of the result OF the Ohio
election the Springfield Republican,
which must be regarded as the Mark
Tapley of anti-imperialism, says: ITO
the friends of good government, who
at the same time wished to see a re-
buke administered to the President
from his own State, this is almost an
ideal result" Here is an ecstacy of
delight in deep adversely that quite
eclipses the buoyancy of the original
Mark even when languishing amid the
miasmas OF a western swamp.
Ga the other hand the Republican,
co-laborer in the service of Colonel
Aguinaldo in this country, the Evening
Post of New York, has the candor and
enough of reason left to say, 1.-THE
President has his own State behind
him. Endorsement Of the ad ninistra-
ton is equally clear elsewhere"
The Herald of Boston by that proc
ess of ratiocination that is peculiar to
that newspaper, and which is illustrat-
ed by the way man out west deduced
the time of day from clock he owned,
discovers that the President has been
very emphatically and seriously ere.
buked' by his own State. The owner
of the clock used to say that when the
hands indicated twenty minutes past
two in the afternoon it struck six, and
then he knew it was quarter past ten
in the forenoon. The Herald is very
apt to arrive at it's conclusions through
similar process of deduction, and
through this circuitous avenue has evil
IDENTIFY got at it's idea of the matter of
the election in Ohio.
An examination of the voting in Ohio
reveals certain things. Hamilton
county voted for Mclean. He is the
owner and publisher of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. He is immensely wealthy.
Hamilton county is naturally Demo-
cratic. McLean's victory there was a
personal one. Cleveland, the next lar
gest city, cast majority of its votes for
Jones, the socialist, labor, Golden Rule
candidate or by whatever other term bis
politics may be designated. The lead
ing Democratic paper there led re-
volt from Mclean, because of his Of.
fensive character as politician. The
| Of in 10
iority, voted for Jones as a protest
against Mclean. Cleveland has re.
Gently been the scene of violent labor
agitation. Jones naturally attracted tC
his standard the men in whose interest
the late strikes were made and Others
who sympathized with the strikers
Probably any idea of "rebuking" tn,
President for his policy in the Philip
pines never occurred either to the Dem
former were after McLean's scalp, th'
latter were consulting their persona
feelings and interests in respect of 10
cal labor troubles. So much for tn,
vote for Jones as an expression of pop
uar dissatisfaction with the President
Outside of the large cities, among
the rural population and in the smalle
cities and villages, where no extrane
on. issues had been injected into tn
canvass, where the policy of the Presi
dent was unmixed with partisan poll
tics and socalistic questions, the yer
dict was for the President with de
: cisiveness that admits of but one con
|, struction. 1t was, indeed, "ideal," il
the force and sincerity of its endorse
, ment of the President.
