HOLINESS MEETING.
Notes From the Tented Field East OF
Town.

Songs, talk with God, blessed
Bible and others, prayer with power
from on high, very spirited testi-
monies and a page from Life's history
by Brothers Vickers of New Sharon
and Teas, OF Abba. Each declared
that they were converted through the
Holy influence of mother and wife's
prayerful ]entreaties before a merci-
full and all wise Father, who loved
them with an everlasting love.
The afternoon service by the Evan
gelist Miller vas a well directed eff
fort, and touchingly sympathetic.
Subject, Jesus in the garden, asking
disciples for human sympathy, pray
ing God if possible the cup be re-
moved, nevertheless Thy will be
DONE Scripture Luke % Chapter.
The evening text was on Prayer
found in Luke, IS Chapter. He used
Eliiah's remarkable answer to pray
or for rain, as an up-to-date type.
Near the close there was a shout in
the camps God was in the shout and
the walls crumbled. Sabbath day
was born of prayer begotten of the
Holy Spirit. Devout people from the
different. localities with implicit trust
held onto God from the rising of the
sun, with prevailing prayer, until
loved ones were convinced of sin,
ard gladly accepted Christ, even to
a latelhour at night. God placed his
seal on the preaching and singing
on the entire Sabbath day at the camp
grounds, Gods promises to Joshua
for the encouragement of the meet
ing and Joshua had commanded the
people saying, 'Ye shall not shout
nor make any noise with your voices,
neither shall any word proceed out
of your mouth, until the day l bid
you shout; then shall we shout. And
it come to pass at the seventh time
when the priests blessed the temples,
Joshua said unto the people Shout,
for the Lord has given you the city,
9Th Chap. 1915. So the Lord was
with Joshua and his fame was noised
throughout all the country, Chap. 6
27. And the Lord said unto Joshua,
Fear not neither be thou dismayed,'
and the Lord said unto Joshua,
Stretch out thy spear that is in thine
hand toward All. And Joshua burnt
All and made it a heap forever, even
a dissolution unto this day .... Then
Joshua built anIaltar unto the Lord
of Israel in Mount EIal -. and he
wrote there upon the stones a copy
of the law of Moses, which he wrote
in the presence of the children of
Israel, and afterwards he read all the
words of the law, the blessings and
the cursings according to all that is
written in the book of the law. There
was not a word of all that Moses
commanded that Joshua read not be-
fore all the congregation Of Isreal
with the women and the little ones,
and the strangers were c~onversant
among them. Chap. g., 1-1S 3O.32-34-

MAHASKA CORN.
Most of u Is Equal 10 the Average for
Fears

W. R. Lacey had heard and read 30
many conflicting accounts of the corn
crop that he decided to go and see for
himself. Sunday he went out to his
farm in Scott township, and in COM
pany with his tenant, Abe Voss,
tramped 10 miles or more through
the $50 acre field and inspected hun
dreds of ears. 1t is all well filed and
is fully up to the average yield for
years. In order to convince people
from Missouri Mr.. Lacey brought
along some specimen ears to exhibit
at this Office and they from
81 to 1877 inches in length. An aver
age stalk was also produced and it
measure IA feet-giving an idea of
the immense amount of fodder that
viii also be produced. Mr.. Lacey
says the yield in bushels may not be
quite az large as 1t was last year,
which was exceptionable, but the re-
turns will be equal because OF in
creased price.

On the 14th day of August, 1901 our
brother, Frederick o. Robinson, was
called to the Grand Lodge on high
where the Supreme Grand Master of
the Universe forever reigDs and pre-
sides aud Whose summons we must
all sooner or later obey. Brother
Robinson was not a member OF Tri-

T., Oskaloosa, Iowa.
On the 9Th day of August, 1901, Sir
Knight II. FL. Hostetter, while in the
enjoyment of perfect health, bidding
fair for a long and useful life, sur
rounded by friends and everything
calculated to make life desirable and
pleasant, the angel of death issued
his mandate and in a moment he be-
came a lifeless corpse. How striking
this lesson of mortality, reminding US
forcibly of the uncertainty of life and
the certainty of death; as in his case
in the midst of life he was in death.
He was a man of quiet and unassum-
ing manner, social and genial nature,
charitable and humane disposition,
loved by all who knew him and sim
cerely mourned by the community in
which he lived.
THE sacred tie
Is broken, yet why grieve; for time
but holds
His moiety in trust till JOY shall lead
To the blest world where parting is
unknown"
To his bereaved wife and friends
we extend our knightly sympathy and
sorrow for their irreparable loss, and
trust that they may realize and be en-
abled to say that the Lord doeth all
things well and for our good and Thy
will be done and not ours.

THE HOUSE..

Washington, January 15.-The House spent another day on the river and harbor bill without completing 1t. Twenty-six pages wehe disposed of today. The friends of the bill successfully resisted all attempts to load down the bill with new projects and only one or two unmportant amendments were adopted. The western members labor ed unsuccessfully to secure an entering wedge for their pet scheme for the reclama- tion of the arid lands, but received only very limited support.
 Speaker Henderson called the House to order with 8 gavel presented by Colonel McCaskey, Twentieth Infantry United States army. who is stationed at Fort San- tiago, Manila. The gavel is part of the official flagstaff of the Philippine islands. from which the Spanish colors were lower ed and upon which those of the United States were hoisted on the day of the sur render August 13 1898. The Senate resolu- tion to appropriate $7,000 to enable the sec retary of state to pay the expenses of the inauguration of the president and vice. president March 4 was called up and pre- cipitated lively discussion because 1t did not recognize the House a participating factor in the inauguration ceremonies.
 MT. Dalzel, of Pennsylvania, insisted that the House should be recognized.

THE STEEL STOCKS
 TAKE WALL STREET Their Erratic Fluctuations Prov ed Sensation of the Day SOME WEAKNESS AT FIRST Declaration of Per Cent Dividend on Common Stock of American Tin
 Plate Company in Excess
 of All Expectations.
SOME WEAKNESS AT FIRST

e New York January 15.-There was very confusing mixture of sentiment in the stock market today. The steel stocks proved the sensation of the day and their cratic fuctu- ations was convincing evidence of the un- settled frame of mind among the steel in- terests.
 There was some early weakness In the group in spite of an opening rise of S9s in National Tube and of points in Tin Plate, but the whole group became strong later and rose on an average between l and Z points over last night. For some inscrut- able reason the declaration of an per cent. dividend on the common stock of the Amer ican Tin Plate Company to be distributed in quarterly periods caused pronounced weakness in the group. Tin Plate itself dropped back nearly 5 points.
 The current surmise as to that dividend should be declared reached the limit at ] per cent, that per cent. dividend was far in excess of the most sanguine estin- ate. Some selling to realize by insiders was to be expected, but the surprising fact was that the buying attracted by the large disbursement was quite insignificant and en- tirely adequate to absorb the realizing. The more moderate conjectures as to future favorable developments in other steel stocks made spectators feel that their movement on good news was likely to be similarly dis appointing The bears were not slow to take advantage of this frame of mind Their selling forced an extreme decline of GA in Federal Steel accompanied by a rumor that today's declaration would be simply aquar- terly dividend of 1A per cent, emitting the expected lump division of per cent.
 After the close of the market a per cent. dividend was declared Steel and Wire was forced down As, and National Steel, Smet- ing Steel Hoop, Colorado Fuel and National Tube from to points. The episode by some is regarded refiecting the impress ion produced by the utterance and projects the country's leading steel magnates.
 Bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,16O,G0o; United States refunding 2s declined h per cent, and 5's coupon A on the last call

TWO VESSELS SEIZED.
Were at First Thought to Belong to American Company.

Washington, January 15.-The State De- partment was informed this afternoon by cable from Venezuela that the Venezuelan government had taken possession of two steamers belonging to the Orinoco Steam ship Company No details of the seizure are made public.
 lThe Orinoco Company Is understood to be an American company operating be- tween Port Au Spain and points up the orinoco river. The head of the company is said to be an American named Alcott
 The seizure of the two steamers of the Orinoco Steamship Company was reported yesterday by cable dispatch from Minister Loomis, at Caracas who says they have been taken for the purpose of their being employed against the revolutionists.
 The company it appears, has both Eng fish and American stockholders, an Amer jean president and an English charter.
 The State Department became satisfied on a further inquiry that the Orinoco Steamship and Trading Company had British flag over its ships which appeared to make the seizure one more properly to be dealt with by the British authorities. When a similar seizure of the British ship gToboga, was recently made by the Colum- bian government. the British warship Pheasant was speedily dispatched to com pei the release of the Toboga

GOVERNOR STANLEY a
 CONDEMNS SHERIFF

Topeka, Kan, January Ex-Governor Stanley is indignant over the lynching at Leavenworth. He says 1t will result in the death penalty in Kansas, as it should do Governor Stanley condemns Sheriff Eyerhardy of Leavenworth in unmeasured terms. He says the sheriff should be made to make suitable retribution if such a thing would be possible "The sheriff of Leaven- worth is either despicable scoundrel or despicable coward" said the Governor to- night There was no reason in the world why the negro should not have been pro- power of the State would be devoted to that effort and the sheriff Knew it all the time. e
 q ordered the militia of Lawrence and Topeka to be ready, and they would have been sent to the scene of the trouble the minute the sheriff would say he needed them.
 ''The warden of the penitentiary had no right to keep Alexander there, as he had been convicted of no crime. But the life of the negro should have been preserved at all hazards, and it is to the lasting shame of the great State of Kansas that such an infamous proceeding should have been al- lowed to take place, within few miles of the capital city.
 What makes the disgrace to the State more galling than ever Is the fact that we had ample militia forces with which the terrible tragedy could have been averted. The sheriff is to blame and nobody else. Things like this have happened in the South many times, but they do not seem so horrible there as they do here, where noth. ing of the kind had ever been thought of."
