treaty of Spain this country is bound
to remain In control in Cuba until the

seems to possess the power of the seed

portant factor in the strength OF our
convictions. While We are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs

ing, and we find, perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion of a month or
two ago has become a controlling con-
vtction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
so little response in the inner lives of
their children. But there is no reason
for discouragement. II they will recall
the time factor in the formation of

Sioux City, March 22.-The Minister
ial association of Sioux City has inau.
gurated a campaign against Sunday
base ball, and has appointed commit
tee to see what can be done to pre-
vent the league games being played in
Sioux City this season. This is in line
with the general publication move
ment going on in Sioux City at che
hands of the ministers. The ministers
are also taking rather an active in
terest in the present municipal cam
paign. They want man elected may
or who will insist upon the strict en-
forcement Of the Martin law. 1t was
their intention to make one or the
other Of the candidates pledge himself
to their views before they promised
support, but so far they have secured
no such promises and probably never
will. It is likely, however, that with the
present movement on foot, Sioux City
will have to be more careful in the
management of its saloons, as the
ministers are not, the only ones wao
threaten to close them up il they are
not properly run. Already four new
injunction suits have been filed in the
courts. but they are commenced more
out of revenge than from a moral
standpoint.

HE WANTED TO MARRY.
Peculiar Experience of a POweshiek
County Boy With a Crazy Man.


Montezuma, March ga man by
the name of McWhinney, from near
Deep River, went wrong in his head
and decided he would get married. He
started for Sigourney and on the way
met a young man, whom he persuaded
to go along, saying: Il may need YOU"
When they arrived at Sigourney Nc
Whitney told the young man sit was
his sister he was going to marry"
This surprised the young man, as he
knew his sister was almost a total
stranger to McWhinney. He conclud-
ed he had a lunatic to handle and had
better let him have his own way. He
therefore assisted in procuring the Ii
cepse and returned to where the young
lady was visiting in the south part
'of this county. The brother managed
to get word to her before McWhinney
saw her and she could not be found,
but left word that she had gone home.
Then his friend informed McWhinney
that it would be necessary to return to
Montezuma and procure a new license,
as Sigourney was in another county.
After some argument he consented and
when he arrived here was promptly
turned over to Sheriff Binegar, was
examined, pronounced insane and
when he started for the asylum in
charge of the sheriff he supposed he
was going to Deep River to be mar
ried.

Ottumwa Tourists Enroute TO Paris
III Meet Old Friends.

~. N1oetOlO ErloQO0s
From Fridays Daily. :,
The first party of tourists to leave
Ottumwa for the Paris exposition has
now reached Washington, D. C The
party consists of NJ. p. Dufield, w. M.
Edwards, Carl e. McElroy and Lester
Hardsocg. They will travel deliber-
ately, with the intention of seeing,
hearing and unconsciously absorbing
much that tends to make the well
informed traveller. From various
points, relatives and friends have re-
,ceived entertaining letters describing
many things OF general interest,
Y %. Dufield writing from Wash
ington, tells of meeting w. M.sReese.
of Ottumwa, secretary of the cpmmit7
tee on public lands. of which Major
John F. Lacey is chairman. Tho Mr..
Reese was busily engaged in perform
ing the duties of that important posi-
tion he Immediately found time to ret
.ceive and entertain home friends in his
characteristic manner, marked by affa.
bility and painstakin courtesy. His sug--
gestions made the stay of the tourists
in the capital city a time of profit. Maj.
Lacey was met in his committee room,
and by an exhibition of genuine inter-
est in the visitors, at once won their
admiration and fixed himself In their
estimation, as one of our leading stat
esman and a true gentleman. By his
questions and observations he showed
an interest in and intimacy With local
or home affairs. Many 0ttun1wans
We're the subjects of inquiry on his
part. On. subsequent day the party
met the genial major alone in the park,
and on his invitation accompanied
him on an extended walk thru the
residence portion of the city, viewing
many houses of historic interest. This
delightful walk terminated by. Mr.. La
cey. leading the boys to his own beau
tiful home and inviting them in, where
they met his accomplished daughter,
Miss Bernice, and his niece, Miss Blanche
Lacey, of Oskaloosa. Such. eShibi-
tons Of courtesy, coupled with states
man-like ability, make of Major Lacey
a representative of whom the Sixth
district may well be proud. /.
On. Sunday, an eloquent sermon by
DR.. Frank Bristol, the popular lecturer
who won the hearts of .Ottumwa ped
pie, served to make the day of inter
est. But tho the eloduences of the

took an active part in the singing and
responses, seemingly with no thought,

state and his exalted position. AT the
close OF the service the congregation
remained seated while their chief mag

of the church.
