Fifty People are Converted in the
Methodist meetIngsIOn Sunday.

The revival services at the Central
M. E. church continues as an inter
esting attraction Eamong the people.
Nearly all of the meetings Sunday
were crowded and considerable spirit
ual power was manifested. Each ser.
vice contributed its share of CONVEX
sions and it is estimated that about
fifty were reached. Thirty persons
joined the church on probation and
by letter.
The discourses by Evangelist Smith
were full ofIforce and power and much
of the visible results Of the services
have been due to their genuine sin.
cerity and their practical application
to human affairs. About 800 people
gathered at the services Sunday even
ing and heard the Evangelist at his
best. The services will discontinued
this week, closing with grand rally
night of special intersection Friday
evening. EVangelisticl services will
be continued Sunday evening by the
Pastor Rev. j. W. Somerville.

Davenport. Republican: Aldermen
Shorey and Klauer, City Attorney
Thuenen and City Clerk Smith, when
seen yesterday with regard to the
meeting of the Iowa League of Mu-
inequalities, (which they attended in
an official capacity at Oskaloosa, ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased
with. the spirit of the gathering and
the objects of it, as well as with the
admirable hospitality of the people
of the city whore the convention. was
held.
An Interesting experience of the
delegatesi was when they were on
their trip about the city and passing
Penn college. All the students, sew
eral hundred in number, came out.
The young men gave the college yell
with hearty good will, and the
young ladies presented each of the
party wi a glass paper weight con-
tanning in it beautiful photograph
of the college building. These SOU
venirs were greatly appreciated, and
being of 30 permanent character
will long be treasured, not only for
their value but for their association
with the memory of the graceful act
of. the faculty and students of the
leading Oskaloosa educational insti-
tuition.
In his address of welcome Mayor
W. H,yWray warned the visitors to
beware how they got on and off the
electric cars. Tho humor of the re-
mark was fully appreciated.when the
delegates had been about the. town
and had found that, while there were
street car tracks in the streets there
were noacars running on them. o.
kaloosa expects to have an electric
line soon and has granted fran chise
for such a line,s but at present the
most available means of rapid transit
is walking. There used to be a horse
car line in the city, but for some
reason the company operating it dis
continued the use of all the cars ex-
cept one. The citizens demurred and
when that mode of procedure failed
to have any results they turned out
one day and burned the car.
