Welsh Singing Societies to Meet in
Ottumwa December rs.
THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN ISSUED
A Large Number of Entries is Already
Made for the Usual Christmas Fes-
tivaI-An Elaborate Program to Be
Given.
TFrom Mondays Daily.l

.iOHuus lJiiiy -
Arrangements are being rapidly COM
pleted for the annual meeting of the
Eisteddfod association of Iowa which
convenes in this city Christmas day.
The last annual meeting of the associ-
alton was held here and as is well
known was one of the greatest sue
cesses in the history of the associa-
ton. The list of entries to the vari-
GUS events is larger than ever before
known and the meeting this year prom
Uses to eclipse the great success of
last year. 1t is well remembered that
there was nearly 1000 guests in Of
Itumwa last Christmas day. Special
trains were run on the Burlington and
Milwaukee roads. If the present indi-
cations continue there is no doubt but
that there will be a still larger out OF
town delegation than last year. Local
singers carried off several prizes last
year and they are already in training

purses hung up for this years con,

aha, but who spends much of his time
travelling through the western part Of
the country as an officer of the Wood
men of the World, delivered the ad-
dress of the day. Rev. Schleh is an
old and experienced Woodmen and is
one of the most popular and able mem
bers of the lodge in the west.
The burden of DR.. Schleh's address
yesterday was the certainty of death
and the uncertainty of life, which was
coupled with the thought that every.
one should make the best of his oppor-
tunities and make his life count for as
much as possible. He cited the pro-
gress and success of some of the more
prominent of the worlds great men
and encouraged his hearers to try and
emulate the example set by them in
rising from obscurity to high positions.
He delivered eulogies upon the de-
parted Woodmen in whose honor the
services were held, and spoke of the
beauties of fraternalism as eXempli
fled in the Woodmen lodge.
Closing Ceremony.
/ Mr. Schleh's address was much APP,
preciated by those who heard it, and
added to the impressiveness of the SER
vice. At its conclusion, the closing
service was conducted according I'd
ritual.

A WeIch Society.

The Eisteddfod association, as is
well known, is an organization Of mu-
steal and literary devotees originating
among the Welsh people, which meets
annually and passes upon the rendi-
ton of first-class musical and literary
numbers. The entries are free and
the money received for admission is
used for payment of prizes and eX-
penses. the members of the associa-
ton giving their time free of charge
Secretary Rounds, of Hiteman, says
that already entries have been made
from many towns in Iowa and Mis-
souri,, and many more are expected be-
fore the list is closed.
There is some talk of taking the
next meeting of the Eisteddfod to Des
Moines, but the general belief is that
Ottumwa will capture the prize. This
city has entertained the members OF
the association in manner that was
never before known, and they are very
partial. Another thing in favor Of get
ting another meeting here is the III
fuence of ex-Mayor II. J. Phillips. He
| has always lent his aid toward secur
ing the prize for Ottumwa and he is
going to work still stronger for it nex1
year. When the directors of the as
sociation met at Hiteman last spring
to select place Of meeting Mayor
Phillips went into the meeting witt
two votes out of forty-three. After
two or three ballots things began go
ling his way and it was easy then fol

Mineral Springs.

Mrs. E. Harry, living near Mineral
Springs, says: 1.-TWO facts impressed
themselves on me from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. First the quickness and
completeness with which they produc-
ed relief; second, the comparatively
small amount of the medicine required
to cause that effect. During the sum-
mer and fall of 1897 and winter of 1898
l ran down physically and my back
was never free from heavy dull pain
which made me miserable. l procured
Doan Kidney Pills at Will l.. Sar-
gents drug store and they cured the
attack. Any preparation which acts
up to the claims made for it, deserves
the endorsation of the public and l
will only be too pleased when an OPP
portunity occurs to make this fact
known Doan's Kidney Pills is such a
medicine.
