SplRITUALISM.
Oskaloosa Wants Permanent Lo-
cation of Summer Camp.

The Southern Iowa Spiritualists
association closed hree days SEES
sion in this city Sunday evening.
The meeting was for the transaction
of business coming properly before
the association and for the deliver
ing of q number of lectures before
the association. The meeting was
not the regular annual meeting for
the election of officers but was rath-
er a convocation.
The principal lecture of Sunday
evenin g was delivered by Mrs Josie
x. Folsom of Springfield, Mo. She
talked upon subjects chosen from
the audience. There was also talk
by Mrs. Case, of Msrshalltown, and
this was followed by number of
tests by members of the association.
There was also some work by Mrs.
Eva Mccoy, of Marshalltown.
The members of the association re-
siding in and about Oskaloosa de-
sire to have the location of the sum-
mer camp meeting in this city and
have bid for the permanent location
of the camp here. They have offered
as an inducement five acres of land.
arshalltowh also desires the sum-
mer camp and will make some kind
of an offer for the permanent loca-
ton in that city. The matter will
not be determined until the next
meeting.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Marshalltown at the
summer camp the last week in June
and the first in July and occurs just
before the Clinton meeting.
Oskaloosa and vicinity has quite a
large following of the spiritualists
there being over 200 members in the
city and in the adjoining territory.
The officers of the association re
siding in the city are g A. Hinton,
vice president, Maud Mcclure, secre-
tary and Dan Davis, trustee, for two
years. The other officers of the
Southern Iowa association reside in
Marshalltown.
1t is thought that the Oskaloosa
meeting has been greatly beneficial
and will result in increased interest
in the work and additions to the mem
bership.

SURPRISE PARTY.
Liston McMillen's Congregation
al Church Service.

Liston McMillen was at the head of
q unique entertainment and service
Sunday evening. He had advertised
the meeting as surprise party"
and indeed the results ofthe evenings
work were a surprise to many The
object of the NEE ing was to present
the fact that there hung over the
church debt of something like $500
and it was in the effort TO make a
start toward wip'ng this account off
the page that the meeting had been
planned.
There was very entertaining ser
vice of a musical character as given
below and then the matter of the
church debt was presented The
ladies of the church assumed 5000 of
the amount necessary to balance the
account and several of the members
of the church gave sums of $50 and s25.
The sum total of the donations made
Sunday evening amounted to about
$500, and there we're many who will
donate smaller sums who were not
given the opportunity on account of
the lateness of the hour.
The evenings program was as fol-
lows and was presided over by Mr..
McMillen:

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator De-
pew, of New York, on Friday delivered
in the senate a enthusiastically
forceful and eloquent address in sup
port of the shipping bill. The address,
which occupied just an hour, was in
the nature of an appeal for the up
building of the American merchant
marine by the granting of subsidies as
provided for in ,Ae pending measure.
His discussion of the problems Of
transportation when now confront
American manufacturers and Ameri-
can farmers was notably interesting
and effective. The peroration in which
he urged that the American flag be
restored to the mastheads of the
freight carrying ships of the United
States was brilliant piece of oratory
and elected cordial applause from sem
ators on the floor and the crowds in
the galleries. Little progress was
made with the Indian appropriation
bill. The last hour of the senate day
was consumed in the passage of pri-
vate pension bills.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The report
that the senate committee in the
amendments it suggested to the war
revenue reduction bill removed the
tax from cosmetics, perfumeries,
chewing gum and sparkling wines is
erroneous. The committee reduced
the tax on some medicinal prepare
tions and removed it from others, but
left it on the articles mentioned az
in the existing law.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Its Probability Is Discussed by
Senators.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The brief
recommendation in the message of the
president sent to the senate Friday
urging immediate legislation in the
interest of the Filipinos caused gem
eral surprise among senator's, and oc-
casioned speculation upon the proba-
bility of an extra session of congress
Immediately after March 4. Senator'S
generally say they have no intimation
from the white house that special
session of the entire congress may be
desirable, but they unite as one man
in saying that no Philippine legislation
is possible during the remaining five
weeks of the present session. The
short Spooner bill, vesting all power
for the government of the Philippine
archipelago in the president is the only
Filipino general bill. 1t is believed
that whenever an earnest effort is made
to secure legisla ton bearing upon this
subject much time will be required.
Some senator's also express the opin-
ion that legislation may be necessary
in connection with the Cuban legisla-
tiOhs Nhllc
of opinion as to this necessity, all agree
that If such action should become nee
essary it would be impossible to Sc
cure it at this session.
To Pleod for FiIipinos.
Washington, Jan. 26.-In the senate
Friday morning Senator Towne
(Minn.) offered the following joint
resolutions:
THAT Justice, the public welfare and
the national honor demand the immedi-
ate cessation of hostilities in the Philip
pine islands upon terms recognizing the
independence of the Philippine people
and conserving and guaranteeing the in
terests of the United States"
Senator Towne asked that the reso-
luton lie on the table and gave notice
that on Monday next he would ad-
dress the senate upon it.

Barriers.

CLEVELAND, O., March 2-Vice Pres
Baseball league, announced today that
James J. Collins and Hugh Duffy, who
played second base and center field re-
spectively for the Boston National
League club last year. have signed con-
tracts with the American league. Coz
Inns will manage the Boston American
League elub, while Duffy goes to Mil
waukee to manage the American league
team in that city
Although this announcement was not
entirely unexpected, it created a sensa-
ton in local baseball circles. Discussing
the matter, Mr. Somerss said:z
This is only the beginning. Similar
announcements may be expected to fol-
low shortly. We are not asking players
to break any legal contract with the Ma
tional league people, but we hold that
the option clause in the National, league
tically all players are free to sign Amer
lean league contracts if they so desiPe.'
Mr. H. l.. Taylor, attorney for the
Players Protective association, wired
Mr.. Somers as follows today:
"All barriers removed. National league
players free to sign with any league
Hugh Duffy, who was here in confer
ence with Vice President Somers today,
severely criticised the action Of Presi-
dent thinner, Of the Players association,
in signing an agreement with the Ma
tional league tending ITO prevent the
players from changing from one league
to another.
thinner has no authority whatever
said Duffy, Ito such action and the play
ers will not stand for it"
