Rev. Vittum has secured the assis-
lance of DR.. +. j. Van Horn, of Des

revival services In January.
The fresco is being put on in the
Colonial and the interior is rapidly as

Grinnell, Dec. 17.-Lewis j. Sampson
is clerliing with P. G. Mcconnell &
Co.. for the holidays.
An eight pound boy arrived at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur NJ. Burton

Mrs. Martha Pearson. before going to
her new home in Duluth.
Mr.. Lewis Cass met with a painful
and somewhat serious accident Satur-
day. AS he was going out the rear door
of his residence he slipped on the icy
steps and fell heavily fracturing his
arm just above the wrist. 1t is a
wonder more accidents of like nature
have not occurred for sidewalks all over
town are skating Kinks. Some residents
and merchants have thoughtfully
strewn ashes over the smoothest walks.
But on sAe business streets very few
have thought of this. Herein may be
a suggestion.
Hon. Joel Stewart and H. l. Davis
are in Brookfield, Mo-, for three or
four days business trip.
The business houses are open in the
evening till after the holidays and a

numbers.

and her little daughter have completed
their visit with sGrinnell friends and
left for their home in Deadwood, South
Dakota.

On its rails the quail would whistle in the early
summer morn,
Calling to their hiding fellows In the Geld Of wav

And the meadow larks and robins the stakes
would nit and sing
Till the forest shades behind them with their
melody would ring.
There the catbrd and the iaybfrd sat and called

And the squirrels and the chipmunks played the

And the garter snake was often in unpleasant evi.

The Districts Protectors.

The policemen and fremen Of the Dis
trict. on their annual parade today, make
as fine showing as can be afforded by
any American city. These two forces are
not as large as they should be- but they
are necessarily of the better quality for
that reason. For they are required to
cover more ground than is the case else
where and their efficiency Is Indicated
clearly enough IN the low crime rate and
the small percentage of fire losses In the
capital. Congress has never been suffi-
ciently liberal with the District in this d.
rection. perhaps because of the apparent
ease with which both of these rates are
kept down. The houses evidently do not
realize that If the same liberality were
shown in providing both numbers and SAL
aries for the two forces as Is displayed by
the average city the degree of protection
to life and property afforded would be ma
terially increased. 1t is to be hoped that
the excellent appearance of these men to-
day may impress itself upon the congress
sional mind and increase the chances of
an appropriation this year in accordance
with the estimates of the Commissioners

forded for the changing of the furniture or
the destruction or removal of evidence.
There Is already a suggestion that the police
work has been confused by reason of the
disarrangement of the furniture: But
whether the changes are material or not
they teach an important lesson, especially
when considered in connection with the ex-
perience of the police at the Kenmore. In
that case policeman was the first to break
open the door, and was therefore at hand
to prevent further intrusion. Yet the room
was filled with people for considerable
period after the discovery of the dead body,
and it Is well known that the bed clothing
was tunibled and a portiere was torn from
its fastenings. What other changes were
effected 1t has been possible to discover only
dimly through the testimony of witnesses,
often contradfcted. There are evident diff
culties in the way of the strict enforcement
of a rule or law to the end of absolutely
tempt on the part Of the authorities to
check the irresponsible crowd would afford
some measure of gain and would perhaps
teach the danger of this practice. Aside from
the chances which the crowding of the scene
of crime affords to accomplices or to the
dence, there remains the mischief of the in
nocent spectator, who carelessly handles the
