The danger OF carelessness in the matter OF
town elections was pointedly illustrated at
Loeb Lynn Heights, Garrett county, on
Monday, when few dissatisfied persons put
up a ticket composed entirely of colored men,
and elected it. But fifteen votes were polled
the citizens being either too busy or too
careless about voting. The result was a
surprise and has aroused considerable disgust
but the people have only themselves to blame

Rev w L Douglass, the new pastor
of the M Il church at Missouri Valley,
and who is we'll known by many of
our people, passed through Hastings
Wednesday. Mr. Douglass is an old
friend of the writer and is one of the
most successful pastors in the Des
Moines conference; he is a fine sermon
izer and preacher and an energetic and
efficient pastor. Everywhere Mr.
Douglass has served there has been a
marked increase in the spiritual and
temporal prosperity of the church, and
there is no man in the ministry who is
more popular with saint and wording.
While never missing an opportunity to
score the devil and his works, brother
Douglass has lots of charity for the
frailties of man, and instead of scor-
ing the individual, places the wrong
where 1t belongs and tries to lift the
erring one by kindly deeds and cheer
ing words, and along this line he has
been eminently successful. He is a
loyal friend and scholarly Christian
gentleman. Missouri Valley IS to be
congratulated on securing such good
man and pastor.-Hastings Record.

The Unexpected Happens.

A very clevefly executed surprise
was perpetrated upon Mr. and Mrs A
b HOsbrOOk last evening at their home
by about thirty of their friends, the
occasion being the celebration of the
twentieth anniversary of their mar
riage. About eight O'Clock, as Mrs
Hosbrook sat reading, she heard
football, and went to the door expect
ing to meet neighbor who had prom
Used to drop in during the evening, but
instead she met Mrs Colt face to face.
AS the lady of the house extended

startled senses as If the porch, yard
and even the air was full of people
where none had been minute before,
but in an instant familiar faces were
around her and we'll known and loved
voices were showering congratulations
and good wishes. Mrs Hosbrook had
scarcely recovered herself sufficiently
to welcome her guests and assure
them that her preconceived ideas con-
corning surprise parties we're all
swept away and she would regard
them as the most delightful visitors i'm
the world from this time on until Mr.
Hosbrook returned from town, and
then greetings were again heartily ex-
changed to the evident pleasure of all
concerned. Several hours were delight
fully spent, when some of the ladies
took possession of the dining room and
kitchen to tie utter exclusion of the
rlghtful owner. About half past ten
refreshments were served, the bride
and groom of many years ago were
treated as guests of honor. After the
feast was over Mrs Colt, in u pretty,
little speech, presented, in behalf OF
the friends, a very beautiful chocolate
set and six daintlly painted china
plates. At midnight the guests de-
parted, the lights we're distinguished
and quiet seemed to reign, but for MIR
and Mrs lIosbrook the walls will long
seem to echo the friendly voices of
their friends, and in future years they
will see reflected from the surface of
their dainty gifts the merry, happy
faces of the friends who made green
spot along life's journey for them.
The guests were, DIR and Mrs Colt,

Rural Free Delivery From
Logan.

MIR John T Boylan, of Eldora, Iowa
was in Logan today, Thursday, and
went over the proposed route of rural
free delivery and will recommend that
the service belmmediately established
John ID Hornby will be carrier, end e
l. Hyde substitute carrier on the route.
This service will be found to be great
convenience and benefit to the public,
and the patrons will undoubtedly take
hold of it as soon as the opportunity
is given. The service is absolutely
free, and the only thing that the gov
eminent insists upon is that good
galvanized iron box be furnished by
the patron--it will not cost more than
81 25-and erected near the beaten
road SO that the driver of the route
can put in or take out mail without
leaving his buggy. The carrier will
carry stamps, envelopes and postal
cards; will take applications for money
orders, register letters, and in fact, will
have postotlice on wheels. When you
wish to send to town for something
you can have your letter written and
when the carrier comes, buy your
stamp and he will take the letter to the
nearest postoflice and mailit for you
and any business you would transact
at the postflice can be done with the
carrier.
The route laid out from Logan
which will be recommended by MI
Boylan goes east through Reeder Mills
thence east to Ed Cheeseman's where il
turns north to Alex Cases, past Hunts
and Jacob Servis', then down through
the Needmore settlement to Whites
boro, and from there into Logan. Ev
cry person who lives within mile OF
this route is entitled to the benefits OF
it, provided the iron box is supplied
and put up where it will be- accessible
to the carrier, and people even farther
than mile can erect box and use it.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 3.-The Gal
weston cyclone, which startled the
world with horror September 9th, was
predicted nearly eighteen months ago
by Prof Andrew Jackson DeVoe, the
meteoroIogist, who prepares the
weather forecasts used by the Chat

Weather Chart and Calender. Over
$4,000, 900 of these almanacs and 10, OOO,.
600 of these calendars are issued each
year and every copy printed for 1900
shows this prediction. Prof DeVoe
has been making these weather fore
casts for years and has made some
truly wonderful prognostications in
the past. He foretold the coming OF
the st Louis cyclone four years ago
with the same accuracy as the recent
cyclone at Galveston when he gave
the location and day. In his forecasts
for the month of September, 1900, De-
Voc says: "On the 9th great cyclone
will form over the Gulf of Mexico and
move up the Atlantic coast. AT this
season cyclones are likely to form
over this Atlantic Ocean and travel
westward, causing heavy rains in the
Gulf States"
