Great Religious Revival.

Corydon, Nov. 1S.-Special: Last
night closed one of the greatest re-
vivals of religion that has been
known in southern Iowa. Some
four weeks ago the noted evange-
list Rev. w. A. Sunday, assisted BY
Prof F. G. Fischer. of Des Moines,
started series of revival meetings
which continued night and day for
the last four weeks, resulting in
the public confession and Access
sion to the church of All of the
best citizens of the community.
All the churches of the city unit
ed in union meeting, and the
feeling of unity and charity pre-
vailed from first to last, and the
good resulting from the churches
and people is wonderful. Bro. Sum
day is strong, forcible and enter
tanning speaker, holding the peo-
pie for hours with his logic and ell
oquence. Last night it is carefully
estimated that 1,400 people assem-
bled at the M. E. church and listen
ed for hours at the sermon of the
speaker, and the charming music
of large choir conducted by the
accomplished Prof. Fischer. This
morning as the two gentlemen took
their departure from the city sever
al hundred men and women met at
the depot to give an expression of
their heartfelt regrets at parting.
As the train pulled out Rev. Sun
day stood on the rear platform OF
the coach waving his white handk-
erchief with tears rolling down his
cheeks while the large crowd
cheered in the midst of sobs and
tears. Yesterday, the last Sabbath
of their meeting, the people con
tributed $1,000 as compensation to
the evangelist for his valuable and
loving service. One hundred dol
lars over and above the regular
price agreed upon to Pro. Fischer
for his valuable service and mana
cement of fine music and singing
of the meeting. Great good has
been accomplished and the people
will always remember these excel
lent men for service rendered to
our little town.-Iowa State Reg
ister.

Mrs. Nations Tour.

Des Moines, Iowa. Feb. l0.-AIrs. Ma
tons tour through the western part of the
state took on new feature and was a
triumphal one to the Kansas saloon
smasher. She made a dozen addresses
from the platform of a Rock Island pas
senger train to as many crowds in the
towns she passed through to come to Des
AIoines to deliver lecture In the after
noon she visited four saloons, doing no
damage but drawing such big crowd on
the street that the police were compelled
to stop the crusade. In the evening she
addressed 1000 people in the Y. NJ. c. A.
auditorium.
The journey from Council Bluffs to At
lantic was made quietly, the hour being
too early for many people to be out to
see the crusader.
At Atlantic the first visitors swarmed
into the train and as Mrs. Nation saw
them coming down the aisle she cried out:
Hello, boys, glad to see you. Shake
hands. God bless the boys, the young
men; l tell you l just love you ALL
The first large crowd of the day was at
Anita, where Mrs. Nation was aroused.
A window was opened and hands clutched
through the aperture. Fully 100 persons
were gathered on the platform and as
many as could surged up to the car and
shook hands with Mrs. Nation. who started
for the platform, but the train pulled out
suddenly and the crowd was left behind.
At Adair there was another crowd and
Mrs. Nation grasped hands and then made
a short speech

storms Mt Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. l2.-Chicago is having its
first hard tussle of the winter with the
monarch of winter-the storm king. For
two days there was snow, sleet, wind and
the invariable wind from the Michigan
shore, bringing snow a-plenty. At the close
of that time 'the beautiful was more than
a foot deep all over the city. The next
morning the city's squad of workmen
were at work early in the downtown sec
ton and by noon an unbroken line of
snowladen wagons stretched from Ran
dolph street southwark to Jackson boule-
ward, and out Michigan avenue to the
snow dump. At one time IT'S teams were
at the dump at once, a blockade occurring.

From Washington Legislature.

Over $2,OOO,00O will be asked from the
legislature for the state institutions and its
officers for the ensuing two years. AL
ready there are other appropriation bills
introduced asking for $l,O00,OO0 more in
round numbers. This will give the legis-
lators a problem of how to make an avail
able revenue of less than $2O000O0 satisfy
demands for more than $3,OOO,OOO.
Estimates have been prepared by the
state officers for the needs of their depart
ments, proposed new buildings and salar-
les. They show an increase over the APP
preparations made two years ago, in some
instances of considerable amount. The
need for new buildings at several insti-
buttons is argued, also the alleged increas-
ed expense of running the offices and in
stitutions. With the exception of the grain
commissioner and the fish commissioner
all the estimates for the departments are
given as prepared by the officials
or deputies. The fish and grain commits
sioners are absent and estimates for their
departments are based on former appro-
priations.
