Rebecca Naylor, of Berkeley, Cali
fornia, has come into the meeting
for service in the Lords vineyard.
The evangelistic board is kept very
busy these days planning for an ag.
gressive campaign during the coming
year. From all prospects the outlook
for this line of work is very bright.
Rufus Garrett, who has been four
years missionary among the In
dams of Bolivia and Peru, South
America, has returned and is attend
ing the Yearly meeting. He has many
interesting curios and pictures which
ne has collected during his various
travels. He expects to return and
take up his work there next year.
W. H. Pilot will act as travelling
superintendent of the @. E. Union
during the coming year.
The Friends Building association
which has charge of the refreshm emit
stands on the grounds is well pleased
with the results thus far. The pro-
oeeds have already surpassed their
expectation.
A new department for the Yearly
meeting grounds this year, is gospel
tent for the use of one division of the
ministers for the Sabbath services.
Because of Zenas Martins con-
hn -
missions and his arduous duties it
was thought best to relieve him of
his burden as treasurer of the board
of missions for this Yearly Meeting
and H. D. Lane of Oskaloosa was APP
pointed in his place.
Messrs. Johnson and Hammond
came down Saturday from Vandalia
to see the big browds on Sunday and
to join in the closing sessions of the
Yearly Meeting.
Many of the pastors feeling the i'm
portance of their home work left the
grounds on Saturday evening to be
present in their respective pulpits
Sunday.
Arthur Chilson, VINO will go out to
Africa to help inaugurate the work of
the African Industrial Mission, is ON
his way to Colorado to make prac-
tical study of the irrigation question.
The crowd on big Sunday was about
as usual. A very careful estimate
would place the number of carriages
alone at between 500 and 900.
The pioneer party of the African In
dustriial Mission composed of three
men will go out about February, 1902.
The party will first prospect for To-
cation and then make a permanent
location. After this is done the Sec
ond and larger party, including some
ladies, will follow. 1t is the purpose
to eventually make the mission en-
tirely self.supporting but at first they
expect to have money enough on
hands TO run it for two years at least.
They now have almost $40, 900 in cash
and pledges, which is not any too
much to carry on such great under
taking.
On account of the great amount of
business which has come up, it has
become necessary to continue the
meeting till Tuesday.
A great many Of those attending
feel compelled to return home Mon
day, thus leaving the closing business
of the Yearly meeting to be transact
ed by few.
Fred and Mary Grieve returned to
their home in Valley Junction yes
terday after short stay at the Year
ly meeting.
Mrs. L. H. Ellsworth who has been

Pe.ru.na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
II suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
It interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and never supposed
that l would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately member of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
it such high praise that I decided to
try it. Although started in with lit
tie faith, I felt so much better in a
week that I felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now."-Minnie E. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at . uniform price,
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap imita tons
of Peruna for Peruna. II is done ev-

senting a Silver Service to a Battle.
ship" He not only describes some
of the most interesting pieces OF
plate, but goes into the details of the
presentation. The following is an
extract:
THE method of procedure when a
sovereign state undertakes to procure
some handsome tableware for the
jolly .,tars whom it regards as spe.
cially under it's care is an interesting
one. It is customary, almost as soon
as the navy department has an
nounced that one of the battleships
building or projected will bear the
name of a certain state, for her rep
resentatives in congress to hold a
meeting and launch project for pre-
senting the vessel with silver serv-
ice. Next prominent naval officers
have to be consulted with regard to
the number of pieces considered de-
sirable, and es to their design and fin
ish. 1t is notable that the author
tiles consulted under such circum-
stances are certain to be almost
unanimous in their advocacy of sim.
plicity of design. The: naval officers
are also very likely to suggest the
desirability of securing massive ware
and pieces large enough to prevent
their being easily lost. The regular
committee, which has meanwhile been
appointed, embodies this advice in q
circular, and invites all the leading
silversmiths of the country to submit
competitive designs. Not infrequently
these sketches are all completed and
on exhibition long before the funds
have been raised. Thus there is am.
pie opportunity for the thorough dis.
cussion of the artistic merit Of the
various suggestions. Then comes
the award of the contract, and finally
after year or two, the formal pres.
entation ceremonies, which are at
tended by prayer and music and much
speech-making. The presentation ad.
dress is made by the governor or some
other state dignitary, and the captain
commanding the new vessel endeav
ors to express the gratitude of the
ships company"

The transports were almost ready.
The troops had been designated for
the expedition. The supplies were
being hurried aboard. The general
had his men all the lvelong day at
the rifle-ranges or backgrounds, for
most of the brigade were raw volun-
teers who had been rushed to the
point of rendezvous with scant equip
ment and with less instruction. The
camps were thronged with men in all
manner of motley as to dress and no
little variety as to dialect. Few of
the newly appointed officers in the
department of supply were versed in
their duties, and the young regulars
of the staff of the commanding gen
eral were working 16 hours out Of

The streets were crowded with
citizens eager to welcome and ap-

The irate lady, however, seemed to
find scant sympathy and support in
the faces of her listeners; some of
whom had long since wearied of her
strident voice and oracular ways. It
was well remembered that so far
from being of aid or value in caring
for the injured men, she had pestered
people with undesired advice and in
reference, had made much noise and
no bandages, and later, when an Of
cial of the company had boarded the
train, had constituted herself spokes-
woman for the passengers, not at all
to their advantage and much to his
disgust. Then, finding that Miss Ray
was looked upon as the only heroine
of the occasion, she had assumed a

young lady which became almost pos
