andnow acting president of the Angus
tana college at Rock Island, H., deliv-
cred lecture last, evening under the
auspices of the Young Peoples society
of the Swedish Lutheran church, be-
fore large and appreciative audience.
DR.. Foss has been professor of his
tory for the past. eighteen years at
that great Swedish institution of. learn
in, and therefore needs no introduce
ton. After "a few selections
by the choir DR.. Foss was
introduced and spoke for two
hours on "a Crisis in History" His
theme showed the result of much
study and labor concerning the scien-
tifc achievements in history during
the past century. He pointed to the
historical achievements OF the past
hundred years as greater in extent
and number, than those of all the pre-
vious centuries combined, and it has
not only been in history making but
| in the theoretical as well as in the
practical science that much has
| been accomplished, in the lifting Of
| the burden of labor by machinery; the
| speedy transit of men and good, and
| the elevation of human suffering.
| DR.. Foss is a pleasing speaker, his
| delivery is simple and forcible, and
hehas the faculty of illustrating his re
marks, so that the audience may com
prehend his entire thoughts. and con
sequently the developed arguments
which carry weight and conviction. He
is a speaker who combines mirth witt
earnestness, and sincerity, and will
surely arrest the best thought upor
a theme wherever he is heard.

THEY CHOOSE A
COLORADO MAN
FOR MINISTER.
First Presbyterian Church Calls
Rev. VIM. A. Hunter, D. D,
RESIDENT OF TT. COLLINS, COLORADO
Meeting Held Last Evenins-short
Sermon by DR.. F. w. Hinitt-EIders
and Trustees Will Extend the Call
to DR.. Hunter.

At a meeting of the congregation,
held last evening at the First Presby-
Iterian church in this city, it was de-
cided to extend call to Rev. William
A. Hunter, D. D., of Fit. Collins, Col,
to accept the passionate of this church.
DR.. Hunter has never been heard in
| this city, but such encouraging recon-
lamentations have come concerning
| him that the members feel that he is
the best man for the place they have
| to offer.
The meeting was presided over last
evening by Rev. F. w, Hinitt, D. D.,
THE former pastor of the church and
I at present president of Parsons col
lege, Fairfield. DR.. Hinitt preached a
short sermon, dwelling on the respon-
lsibilities devolving upon a church in
selecting pastor and the efforts the
church should take to help that pas
tor after he accepts the call. He also
made point of some people making
mistakes with regard to callings, fol
lowing their own inclinations instead
of the Divine WILL and intimated that
failure always followed such mis-
takes.
After the sermon, the congregation
unanimously decided to call Rev.Hun-
tier, and the elders and trustees of the
church We're empowered to extend the
call.
This will fill the pulpit which has
been unoccupied except temporarily
for several months, in fact since last
autumn, when DR.. Hinitt left this
charge to take up his new duties as
president of Parsons college. The
congregation has listened to severa
ministers from different parts of the
country, but DR.. Hunter had not been
here. His services are considered sc
valuable, however that he was called
without the usual preliminary sermon

Nora w. Reno Begins Divorce Pro
ceedings-Wants Alimony.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The case of Nora W. Reno against
Frank M. Reno for a divorce and s10,-
600 alimony was begun in district
court this afternoon. The charges
which she alleges are cruel and in
human treatment. Steck and Smith
are attorneys for plaintiff and Jaques
& Jaques, Work & Work, and NJ. B.
Sparks of Batavia are attorneys for
the defendant. Mrs. Reno began an
action for divorce in February, 1900.
but before the case finished a reconcil-
liation was affected whereby the par
ties resumd their relations as man
and wife, and the suit was dismissed.
1t was but short time however, ac-
cording to Mrs. Reuo's allegations,
that he began his cruel and inhuman
treatment again, and made it so I'M
pleasant she was unable to stand 1t,
hence the present suit. 1t is said the
action for divorce is not being con-
tested by the defendant, the only
question at issue being the amount of
alimony to be allowed. The Renos
are among the most prominent coun-
try people in Wapello county, Mr.
Reno being the owner of large farm
in Pleasant township.
