ton at Cincinnati.

Baer. general secretary of the United
Society for Christian Endeavor. arrived
here Tuesday from Boston to confer

arrangements for their iuternaii onal

rotary Baer WAS very much pleased
with the arrangements of the auditori-
um at Music hal. and in the adjoining
exposition buildings. lie authorized
arrangements in Washington park,
which adjoins Music hail. for open air
mass meetings. Secretary Baer says
that his corresponds already indi-
Gates a much larger attendance than
ever before. Last year the convention
was held in London. and many were pre-
vented from making their usual pill
grimage. He announces now for the
first time that il has been decided to
hold these international conventions
hereafter biennially instead of annu-
ally, so that there will be no other
great gathering until 1903. and this
means a lapse from the meeting in De-
troit in 1899 to this year for many, and
then for all from 1901 to 1903. Another
reason for the unusual interest is the.
fact that the twentieth anniversary
will be celebrated here next July. Sec
rotary Baer has already prepared a
very elaborate programme, which in
cludes G. Campbell Morgan, of London,
who has been invited to take up
Moody's work in this country. The
programme includes other distin-
guished speakers from Europe, as well
as the leading clergy and lecturers of
this country and Canada.

IOWA STATE NEWS.
IMPORTANT PROJECT.
Proposition ON Foot to Build an Elec-
trio Railway Line from Cres-
ton to Winterset,

The mayor and two of the members
of the city council of Creston have
returned home after spending day
in Omaha Investigating line of cleo
trio road which it is proposed to
build from Creston to Winterset,
through the town of Macksburg. The
line will connect the terminus of the
Winterset branch of the Rock Island
railroad with the main line of the
Burlington through Iowa and will be
about 40 miles long.
Lyman Waterman, of Omaha, is at
the head of the enterprise, and suffi-
Gent capital has been secured to
carry out the work, provided suitable
terms can be secured from the termi-
nal cities. Th~cost of constructing
and equipping the line will be 100000,
and this amount has already been
pledged.
The line will run through one of
the richest agricultural sections of
Iowa and will be equipped not only
for the transportation of passengers,
but of freight. Regular stations will
oe esoapllsueu AT SNORT intervals,
where farm produce may be loaded
and delivered. The company, in adj
dition to operating the line of rail-
road, will make arrangements to sup
ply light and power at Creston and
Winterset, and, if desired, at any
point along the route.
The work remaining to be done is
to secure franchise at Creston and
one at Winterset, with a right of
way along certain roads in Union and
Madison counties.
