Receiver Appointed.

Des Moines, Oct IA receiver,
as prayed for, has been granted for
the Equitable Mutual Life Associa-
ton, of Waterloo.
In asking the order the attorney
general stated that the defendant has
been engaged in class of insurance
and issuing policies of kind making
obligations therein that it had no
authority under the law to issue. 1t
is further stated that the contracts
entered into on the part of the com
pany with st. Stephens brotherhood,
Iowa Masons' Benevolent Society,
Iowa Life and Endowment Associa-
ton of 0skaloosa, Iowa, Canton Ma
sonic Benevolent Association, OF
Canton, Illinois, were in plain viola
ton Of its articles of incorporation.
The company Is charged with ex-
travagance in the conduct of business
and using the mortuary fund in pay
ing unwaranted expenses. One
clause charged the company with be-
ing insolvent; that it used money re-
ceived for the purposes of paying
death losses in paying salaries OF
agents and officers, whose salaries
were fixed and allowed in sums far
in excess of the ability of the COM
pany to pay and of the authorized
expense fund to be collected; that 1t
is unable to meet its expenses and
pay the death claims as they arise,
and the liabilities of said defendant
far exceed its asgefs.

The CANTEEN.
Lecture at Penn College by
Joshua L. Bailey.

Joshua L. Bailey of Philadelphia
was in the city Friday and was the
guest of Penn College. The gentle
man addressed the chapel in the
morning and at four o'clock he lee
tured on the "Story oftne Canteen. !"
Mr.. Bailey is a man we'll along in
the seventies but is as vigorous and
active as a man of half his years. He
is quite friend of Penn College and
his name will be found as one of the
substantial supporters of the in
stitution. The gentleman was in Iowa
about fifty years ago before the day
of the railroads but this is his first
visit to this city.
The lecture on the "Canteen" was
along the line of plea for temper
ance in the military organizations of
the country. The word "Canteen"
has come to mean, in military life
place where beer and possibly other
drinks are dispensed with the per-
mission and the APPROVAL of the govern
ment and the officers commanding
the camps.
The gentleman took up the history
of the use of ixtoxicants in the army
and gave quite an interesting review
of the same in the armies of England
and the United States and then pro-
ceeded to show the demoralizing
effects of the canteen in the camps
of the late war. The gentleman is an
in the cause of temperance
and he gives quite large portion of
his time and his energy to the work.
The zeal and the determination that
the gentleman exhibits in the cause
Of the abolishing of the canteen can
not fail to bear fruit in the desired

has so improved them in every re-
spect that they are now recognized
as equal to the best in Central Iowa
The original price he paid for the
plant was fifteen hundred dollars;
but the new machinery repairs on
dam and building and modern i'm
provements since, have required an
outlay of ready cash of over six
thousand dollars additional which i'll
cludes the putting in of steam power,
which has just been completed. Now
the business will no longer be sub

AT CHURCH.
Rev. ]. W. Somerville breaches
His First Sermon in the
City.

A large congregation was in attend
snoe at the Central Methodist church
Sunday morning to hear the first SER
mon of the pastor Rev, ]. W. Somer-
vile TO his new charge. All who had
the pleasure of hearing the gentle
man were pleased with him. He
speaks with an earnestaess and a
sincerity OF word and manner that
carry conviction to the listener.
The sermon of the morning was OF
an analytical nature. The gentleman
had to dealwit the symbols of Moses
power, the rod, the tablets Of stone
and the pillar of fire. He brought
the symbols down To the present time
and made application in the every
day life of the people in very
practical way. The lesson of the
opening part of the sermon was the
proof of the latter assertions. At the
close of the sermon Rev. Somerville
stated that he supposed that word
was expected Of the new pastor and
word was therefore due from him.
He came among the people not to do
their work but TO help them do il
and they must help him. He wished
To be one of the people and he desired
acquaintances as soon as they thought
that they could trust him. He wished
to see them in their homes and to
know of the inner life. He came TO
bear their sorrows with them and to
be with them in their days of glad
ness and TO assist in whatever manner
might be required.
There was another large congrega-
tional at the evening service and
there was heard another sermon of
much power, It was after the manner
of the morning and the teachings of
the Bible were made to interpret the
signs of the times.
The Oskaloosa charge has been In |
deed fortunate in securing the Rev. |
j. W. Somerville. He is one of the |
ablest ministers in the church and II |
what he has done in other places Is |
to be taken as criterion, the work |
wilt go forward in this city in the |
same excellent manner that has char |
acterized the efforts OF the former |
pastor Rev. NJ. Bamford.
Mr.. Somerville began his work in |
the ministry at Atchison, Kansas, and |
had great success in that city for al. |
most five years. He was then given |
the charge at Lawrence and again |
achieved a great success in that city |
for almost five years when he was |
given the appointment of this city.
The gentleman is man of culture |
and refinement. He is a graduate of |
Syracuse College and is a student |
and a careful observer Of human ma |
ture. Personally he is large whole |
souled, broad and liberal minded
man whom it is II pleasure to meet. |
He comes to the city with the very
best of recommendation from the |
people he has just left and he will be |
with all classes of people.
The gentleman is about 3b years OF
age and has wife and two children |
who will join him in this city in a |
few weeks.

North English, Oct. 14.-It was a
splendid crowd that greeted John F.
