DIVIDED AS TO WILLIAMS.
Waterloo Pastors not IN Harmon,
as to the Evangelist.


Dies MONIES. March 5.-The Ministerial
Union of Waterloo had an animated
discussion Monday over the question of
extending an invitation to Evangelist
Nj. II. Williams to return to Waterloo to
engage in a revival effort There was a
decided divergence of opinion among
the clergymen present. some of them
believing that the action would be un-
wise, while others, headed by Rev. j. A.
Earl, Believed that Waterloo needs just
such a. shaking up as Williams makes a
practice of giving to every community
in which he labors. The discussion
was prolonged past The noon hour with
cut definite conclusion. A motion was
finally carried that the pastors should
each submit the matter under considers
alton to the official bodies of their re-
spectives churches and report at a meet
ing OF. the union to BE- held next week.
This was accepted by all parties TO the
controversy as the protocol upon the
basis OF which an arnistce should be
arranged for the present. and hostile
ties Will be suspended until they meet
again. 1t is not improbable that the
views of the congregations will be as
much at variance as these Of their pas
tors and that there will be no nearer
approach to unanimlty when the re-
turns are all IN than there was in the
meeting yesterday morning.
1t is stated tnat he evangelist insists
that he shall be given a free hand in the
conduct of the meetings if he comes,
and that the pastors must agree not to
criticise or oppose any action he may
take. Some of the ministers feel that
they can not conscientiously commit
their consciences into Mr.. Williams
keeping for a period of several weeks
and agree TO hold their peace while
things are being done that they consider
sabhorrent and harmful to the religious
Interests of the city. They therefore de-

GRAVE CHARGES MADE
Nineteen Year Old Girl Arrested
at Oskaloosa for Enticins
Female Child.
Her Victim Only Twelve Years
Old..A Travelling Man Also
Arrested.
Escapes the Officers al Keokuk,
Where He Was Taken in
Custody.
Special to Times Republican.


Oskaloosa, March 5.A sensational
affair came to the surface here today.
when girl named Ella Wease, IS years
of age, was arrested on charge of en-
ticing female child for purposes of
prostitution. The woman was arraigned
before Justice Baugh and in default Of
bonds is confined in the jail. The hear
ing will be on Thursday. The childs
name was Rose Moody, OF Lynnville.
Her relatives came to this city and
caused the arrest OF the Wease girl,
said to be from the same place. A Var
rant was also issued for a travelling man
named "A. I. Simmons, charged with as
sault.
Simmons was arrested at Keokuk. but
was released on a writ of habeas COR
lus, and escaped from Sheriff Cricket, of
ldahaska county. The Moody girl has
Eeen returned to her home in Jasper
county.
The affair has caused a great deal of
indignation here. The parents of the
girl are prominent and respectable peo-
pie of Lynnyille, the father being i'll
business at that place. On account OF
the prominence OF the parties and for
Yhe girls sake an effort was made to
suppress the matter but the matter was
finally taken into court and the details
became public. The people are very bit
ter against the travelling man Simmons
and the girl Wease, as the Moody girl
is only about - or IA years old, and 1t
appears that she was deliberately en-
ticed away from home and taken to
hotel in this city for immoral purposes.
The affair happened Friday night, all
tho the Wease girl was not arrested un-
III today. Simmons seems to have been
aided in his escape at keokuk, where he
was arrested Saturday night, but re-
leased on habeas corpus proceedings.
Word from Keokuk says that when the
Judge released Simmons the latter went
to police headquarters and got his over
coat and personal property. Then with
a courteous good night he started out
with his attorneys and went east out of
the alley and faded away. Chief Wolf
ordered Officer Sharp to shadow him
carefully, but the officer lost him before
lie fairly got started. Then Chief Wolf
guarded the railroad exits to the city,
but failed to discover Simmons leaving
the city which would have resulted in
his immediate rearrest.
The woman with Simmons there was
attended by Simmons attorney until
the 2.:27 train for the north came Sum
day morning, when she went away on

WHY so MANY FAIL.
The Reason SO Many Catarrh Rem.
NEEDLES are Unsuccessful.

There are few troubles for which
there are 50 many remedies and so-
called cures as for catarrh and It may
be added there are few diseases So diff
cult to really and permanently cure
Inhalers, sprays, powders and
douches are all applied locally and give
temporary relief often for only a few
hours and it is doubtful If anything
like real cure of catarrh was. ever ac-
complished by the use of local applica-
tions.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease, it
is in the blnod like rheumatism and to
cure it requires an internal medicine to
act upon the blood, to drive out the ca
tarrhal poison from the system entirely,
and AIRY ore can readily see that a salvel
or powder or inhaler. which simply
clears off the mucous membrane OF the
nose ard throat, can have 70 effect on
the real cause of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the new
catarrh remedy, stuarts Catarrh Tab
lets, is because it dives out of the sys-
item thru the natural channels the ca
tarrhal poison, the germs of grippe,
bronchitis and consumption and causes
the hawking. splitting and gagging be-
