"CoME, WHosoevER WILL"
Last Sermon Here of Rev. r. L.
BaraCkman.

Last Friday evening Rev. r. L..
Barackman spoke the last of his
series of gospel discourses at the
Presbyterian church. The sermon
topic was Come, the theme being
tlken from the lastchapter ofRevela-
tions. This invitation, the speaker
said was the one thing he had been
trying to in all Of his previous
sermons here. The message was Civ
en- with one condition-"whosoever
will" Alternating this truth plain,
Mr.. Barackman followed his sermon
with few parting words intended
especially for those who had taken
a personal interest in his labors.
He said that that he fully appreciat-
ed the interest shown by the people
who had come out night after night
Notwithstanding the extreme cold
weather. It would be ample re-
ward for his efforts if he could feel
that he had helped one person to
begin new and a better life. He
warned his hearers not to wait for
or expect the remarkable expert
ences that had come to some believ-
ers. There were as many different
kinds of spiritual experiences as
there were individuals. After the
sermon Mr.. Barackman was given
an affectionate farewell greeting by
members of the congregation.
The brothers Barackman have
made an excellent record during
the series of meetings jointly con-
Quoted by them here. R. L. Bar
ackman speaks with simple and
direct sincerity that inspires re-
spect: secures attention and in many
cases here has resulted in the con-
viction of both old and young. He
is the reverse of sensational or
elaborately emotional. F. J. Bar
ackman, the pastor, has been an
effective aid in singing the gospel
message, and in inducing the mem
bers of the church to each lend
hand in helping along the benefi-
cent work for the church and the
community.

IN TRUSTEES HANDS.

The firm of Wolff, Southwick &
Angel closed it's doors on Saturday
morning Of last week. The action
has been expected ever since the
middle of January, when it became
known that the firm was unable to
meet its liabilities. Since that time
an attempt has been made to get the
firm on it's feet, by allowing it to
buy up the claims at a reduced
figure, but without success.
A trustee has been named in the
person of J. F. Jordan, who is credit
man of the wholesale dry goods
house of Wyman, Partridge & Co.,
one of the largest creditors. Mr..
Jordan is expected here this week
to begin an invoice, prior to closing
out the stock, either at wholesale or
retail.
It is stated that the liabilities of
tne nrm are about $lZ,O OOO. The in
voice of assets show about an equal
figure, but the shrinkage in the
latter, is likely to reduce the actual
assets from $1,000 to $1,000. AS
stated before Wyman, Partridge &
Co. have the largest account against
the firm, while the Kelley0Mercan-
tile Co. is also quite heavily in
volved.
OF the firm Mrs. Angel is the
heaviest sufferer. Mrs. Angel put
something over $4,000 in cash into
the institution, when the original
firm commenced doing business,
and it is stated that she is left with
out a penny.

social set were preSent-if not in
cog, then watching the merry group
of masqperaders, and endeavoring
tospick out who this or that person
was. TIE gallery was flied WITH,
the fair sex, while the stage to the
north was covered with ladies and
gentlemen who were enjoying the
spectacular effects with almost as
much hilarity as the masqueraders
themselves. All around the en-
trance big crowd of plain faced
individuals lowered until after the
unmasking, and then, they, too
made a part of the dancing throng.
The masqueraders commenced ar
irving early, and it was 1890 o. clock
before the last one Of the 100 or
more of the transit faced individuals
crossed the threshold of the enhance.
By that time there were Cinnamon,
colored gentlemen, representatives
from ancient foreign courts, gladi-
ators, Dinahs and Jos, Indian prin-
cesses, squaws in richest attire,
ladies typifying different countries,
sailors, sheperdesses, monks, girls
in blue, a Lord Fauntleroy, and
other characters too numerous to
mention. The merry party, moving
to and fro, with an occasional burst
of laughter and some grotesque act,
made merry spectacle that will
linger long in the minds of those
who witnessed it.
The unmasking occurred shortly
after eleven o'clock, but not before
the prize committee had made it's
selections of those entitled to prizes.
When the unmasking occurred,
however, there was a general burst
of laughter as the different parties
found out who each other were, and
as some wife or husband found out
that her or his spouse had antici-
plated the other.
The committee on prizes awarded
the first prize to W. R. Caswell
and Fred. L. Warner, representing
a darkey couple, the former taking
the part of Dinah to the admiration
of all. The second prize for the
gentlemen went to ]. A. Engelhart
in Chinese costume, while Mrs.
Geo. B. Hughes took the second
ladies prize, she being attired and
typically protraying a richly dressed
Indian squaw, with papoose strap
ped to her back. A special prize Of
s. cash was awarded to Miss Zoe
DeGroat for her perfect typifying Of
the character, Cuba.
The dancing and hilarity con-
tinued until nearly five o'clock
Tuesday morning, and when the

the line will be pushed as rapidly
as possible.

A number of rumors have been
going around to the effect that Win
ston Bros. of Minneapolis had Sc
cured the contract for building the
line of the Iowa & Minnesota south
from Sanborn. The Springfield Ad-
vance of last week says that sup
plies for Winston Bros. are ex-
pected to arrive there soon for
distribution, ready for work when
spring opens. Though the line is
seven miles distant from here, part
of the material will be distributed
from this point.

THE THEATRICAL SEASON.
How Its Beginning and Ending Have
Changed In This City in Half n Century.

ChanRed IN Inls Sly In mar n century.
Much comment has been made on the fact
that a theatrical manager OF this city should
have produced at this time OF tho year a good
play. The flag end OF the season. the time has
been called: and that any manager should
have put on a play in nrst-class shape and not
for merely q trial seems to have been deemed
remarkable. Yet the present limits OF the
theatrical season. though they are not marked
well and vary from year to year. are OF quite
recent date. and not SO long ago the season
began when it would and ended when it had
