words. OF the officials of the
church, the presiding elders, the
itinerant ministry, the local preach
ers and the class leaders are distinct
lively Methodistic. These together
with our doctrines, class meetings,
love feasts, and camp meetings, have
been the most potent factors in build
ing UP the great organization which
today numbers it's adherents by the
millions and has it's representatives in
almost if not every nation on the face
of the earth.
"reminiscences Given.
AT the close of the paper several of
the members were called upon to give
"reminiscences of early days of Meth
odism. D. H. Emery and ]. B. Maxon
spoke of Methodism as it was just
previous to the civil war and mention
ed especially the earnestness and
manifestation of power as seen among
the members of the churcm at that
time. ]. H. Morrell spoke interesting
ly of the Methodist church as it is in
England and J. T. Hackworth mention
ed briefly the early days of the
church in Ottumwa DR.. HI. S. Herr,
OF Cleveland, guest of the brother
hood and brother in the church, was
present and spoke very entertainingly
of Cleveland Methodism, which in his
opinion does not differ very much
from that found in Iowa. He also
told of the power of the church in the
early years of it's history.
Meeting Adjourns.
The company was then served with
light refreshments by several of the
women of the church and after most
pleasant social hour in which many
new members were secured for the
Brotherhood, the meeting adjourned.

ASKED TO LEAVE IOWA UNIVERSITY
Burlington Woman and Young Man
From Maquoketa Did Not Observe
the Proprieties, 1t Is Said-other
News of the State.

Iowa City, Nov. 26.-The State Uni
Nersity has taken cognizance of minor
violations of the conventional code for
the first time, and two students, James
Carson, OF Maquoketa member of
the sophomore class of the college of
homeopathic medicine, and Miss Ber-
tina Hulsebus. of Burlington, of the
College of Liberal Arts, have been
advised to leave the school. The ad-
vice was given in this manner: They
were told that unless the registration
cards were withdrawn their cases
would be brought before the faculties,
and that the faculties would without
doubt, suspend them. AS result of
numerous interviews, both of the
young people withdrew their cards and
left today.
The charge against the young wom-
Rn is that she went to Cedar Rapids
last month in company with Carson to
attend the carnival and that they put
up at the same hotel although they
registered under their proper names,
Ind Miss Hulsebus spent the night
with girl friends from Traer, and that
she afterward went into a fraternity
house in the day time without a chap

Miss Alice Young, who was appoint
I'd last year to the newly created Of.
ice of dean of women, called the
young woman on the carpet and adj
gised her that her actions were very

nended her ways. The next intima-
ZION that she received that all was not
well was notice to the effect that I'M
Jess she left town before morning the
matter would be laid before the fac
slty. The matter has dragged along
for about week. but came to head
Saturday.
Miss Young and President MacLean
both insist that there is absolutely no
suspicion that either of the. parties
was guilty of an immoral act, and
President MacLean said last night
that the girl is very sweet and noble
person, but that he felt that he owned
duty to her and to the university,
and therefore advised a departure.
Miss Young has taken great interest
in this case. She felt that she must
be sustained or her influence among
the women would ne lost, and it is
thought that the drastic action taken
by the president was to sustain the
lean.
Miss Hulsebus was expelled from
the ii Beta Phi Sorosis upon the de.
mand of Miss Young, under the repre-
eentation that the chapter was liable
to a forfeiture of its charter If she
were retained after disobeying the or

day in seventh column on first page. the remarks of Mir. Malone should read as follows:
 Mir. Reynolds is not here, he is at heart with us. It Is fair to state that a great many in the upper end of his county which is nine miles from the extreme upper end. and sixty from the lower end, are not all in favor of 1t. I made a canvass up there against the strongest man in Henry County and I got something like 40 per cent of his vote in his own beat. but not a ma jority.
 On first column of second page in the remarks of the same gentleman the verbs should be changed from pres- ent to past tense to make the sentence read as follows:
 As further illustration of this idea there were five banks in the county do- ing a fair business and they were pay- ing tax only on 5000 on an average. One bank with s50,000 capital was pay ing taxes on 5000 of property. The reason of this was that the sections are so far from the county seat that no one looks after it.

Interesting Find of Ancient Meteor.

New York Special.
 What seemed to be fragments of magnetic iron meteor, which may have descended to the earth centuries ago. was discovered today by some laborers who are eXcavating a cellar on Knick- erbocker Avenue, at Cornelia Street, Williamsburg. The discovery was made at a depth of forty feet, it being necessary to remove a hill thirty feet high before the sidewalk level was reached.
 Upon reaching ten-foot depth in the cellar excavation the men came upon the hard substance, and at first be- lieved 1t nothing but solid rock. It's extraordinary weight, however, made them examine it more closely, and when they cut into large piece of the matter they found the interior was a solid mass of iron ore beneath a sur face several inches deep of hardened yellow clay.
 The search was extended further, and the men came upon a perfectly formed apes head and also rams head. All the matter was turned over to Frank N. Schell. the contractor, who will transfer the relics to some museum.
 Tt appears to me-" said MT. Schell today, that when this meteor fell, per haps centuries ago. 1t struck the earth like a shower of hail stones would. That the pieces are all ancient is evil dent from the hard yellow clay which surmounts each piece"

pensive food for hens and other AMI
mails. The new mammoth Russian
suphower seed, which is much larger
seed, and contairs mole eggformlpg
material than the surfower, Is the
best kind 10 plant. Put in drills two
feet apart and eight inches in the
drill and when we'll started, thin out
every other stalk. Then cut the side
springs and throw all the force IN the
plant into one large head. SuptioW-
ers can be grown everywhere on rich
coil, and it is yet to become one OF
the regular fattening foods, not only
for hens, but for sheep, horses and
meat stock. Grow lot of sunfiow-
ers.
