CENSOR DIDN'T SEE THE JOKE. Editor Published All That He Didn't
 Cut Out and Paper Is Suspended.

Correspondence of the Associated Press ]
 St. Petersburg, April 15.-Some time ago a provincial newspaper appeared almost entirely blank to illustrate by a drastic example the difficulties which the censorship places on the press in Russia. Some times the cen sor omitted to blue pencil" the title or the signature of an article, and the editor printed everything that was left. The Minister of the Interior did not take the matter as joke, and he forbade the publication of the paper in question for eight months.
 The Minister of the Interior refer red to in the above correspondence was M. Supuiagane, who was assas. sinated April Is, the day this core spondence was mailed.

Large audiences and increasing en-,

Church problems received the atten-

interesting address made by President

FUNERAL TUESDAY.
Services Held at Charlton over Re


mains of Mrs. H. o. Penick.
Funeral services over the remains
of the late Mrs. Harry O. Penick,
whose death occurred Saturday night
at her home in Charlton, after a short
but severe illness. were held at Chart
ton Tuesday. Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin
Manning and daughter, Miss Mary,
Manning We're in attendance, as were
several others from places outside of
Charlton.
Mabel Wadleigh was born in
Oquawka, Illinois, March Z, 1874. and
came to Burlington in 1878. In De-
cember, 1897, she was married to H.
0. Penick, cashier of the Charlton Ma
ticnal bank, and has made her home
there since that time.
Beside her husband and little daugh-
ter Mildred, she is survived by her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Wadleigh, and
her sister, Mrs. Robert Moir, all of
Burlington.
Mabel Wadleigh spent her life in
Burlington and probably no girl was
better known nor more generally low
ed than she. Her sunny disposition,
and her indefatigable efforts to make
all around as happy as herself, endear
ed her to every one who knew her. She
was unusually popular in the social
set in which she was recognized
leader, but her unusual popularity eX-
tended far beyond any barriers that
society established and her democrat
ic ideas and independent spirit made
her the equal idol of all the people, re-
CARELESS of any of the so-called func-
lions of society cliques.
In her married life she was the same
cheerful woman that marked the char
acter of the girl, Frightening up her
home like continuous ray of sunshine
and making it the mecca of those good
spirits who love to dwell among good
thoughts and cheerful influence. She
was loving wife and devoted mother,
and few will comprehend the awful
loss and pitiable grief of Harry Pen
ick.
A strange coincidence in connection
with Mrs. Penick's death came to light
in Burlington. Saturday night after
being put to bed the little daughter
who was staying with her grandpar-
ents in Burlington awakened from her
slumber and told the nurse who watch
ed with her, Il must so to my mamma,
l know my mamma wants me-" She
was soothed to sleep again and three
times awoke with the plaintive cry, 81
know my mamma wants me"

EVENING SESSION.
President F. L. Moffett of centerviIle
Delivered Able Address,

Miss Florence Mills, who will sail
for foreign country during the COM
ing fall as missionary, was present
last evening and gave the opening ad-
dress on the subject Now is the Ac-
cepted Time" Her address had to do
with the mission work of the church
and she made most eloquent appeal
to the people whose lot it is to remain
in their home land, asking that they
give their most loyal support to the
work among the unenlightened ma
tons. In her address she spoke in
part as follows: my wish is to bring
you to the realization of the mighty
opportunity that is now opened to the
Christian people of this land. The in
creased interest that is being taken in
the matter of missionary work is a
sign of hope to those especially inter
ested. The day has come in India
when the fields are white for the
harvest and there is at present a most
suspicious opening for workers. The
power of Jesus has been working for
years and is now beginning to bear
fruit in great abundance. This is sure
ly Gods time and when God is in the
work there cannot help being won
derful success.
1t Is India's Time.
"This is most certainly midas time.
The need and conditions of the people
cry aloud for the gospel of the Lord
All classes are in need of Christ and
all people are beginning to come to
Christ for salvation in mighty
throngs."
Miss Mills in a most vivid manner de-
scribed the conditions of the people of
that country, their religious oppres-
sion, the lack of education, the many
practices that are INDUCED in which
are utterly contrary to the teachings
of the Savior. She spoke of the re-
ligion of Indio, which is most unsat-
isfactory to the people of that coun-
try as they come to have a knowledge
of the salvation of the Savior. mil
lions are waiting for the light of the
Christian religion. This is surely the
opportunity of the church, for they
must send the workers into the field
if it is to be taken for God. Let us
realize that this great opportunity is
swiftly passing, and that in a short
time our work in this direction must

the emergency and go forth to battle
and conquer in the work of our great
commander, Jesus Christ"
President Moffett's Address.
President F. l.. Moffett of Center
vile was present last evening and de-
livered the address of the evening in
the interest of the l. G. G. on the sub
ject Iowa for Iowans." He spoke in
part as follows: MY subject demands
that make case for the state of
Iowa. For the purpose of convenience
society is divided into sections, gov
ernments are established and have
subordinate organizations. to accom-
modate the people. l would speak of
Iowa as social organization through
which the highest ideals are to be rea

ment for place and love for locality
and this characteristic becomes
stronger as the civilization of the in
dividual increases. This it may be
said is the first great Indication of
true patriotism, and is the foundation
in all modern society. We have pride
in our state and it's institutions and

suits in other fields.
Live Not to Yourselves.
eve cannot, neither should we at
tempt to live to ourselves. We are
the product of all the past and must
make our contribution to the future
That is what the state will do and that
is what We as individuals should en-
deavor to do. To accomplish this
then it behooves us to make the best
possible use of our time and talents.
Points of Encouragement.
"There are many things that en-
courage us when we plan great things
for our state, but only few l will
mention. We note the nature of the
SOIL it's uniform fertility. This is pri-
marily an agricultural state. The CON-
parative size of our cities is matter
of congratulation for We have no great
centers in which the vices and sin of
the human race may reach it's lowest
depths of degradation. The intelli-
gence and thrift of our people is gen
orally recognized and our civilization
has reached very high type, so that
the indications for our continued pros
perity are most encouraging.
Iowa Has a Mission.
s'What is the relation of our state
to the realistic of the kingdom of God
Iowa has message and mission
among the people of the country and
the world. We have received abund-
antly from the store houses of God
and it is our mission to carry the mes
sage of salvation to the ends of the
earth. Do you know anyone who will
support our work if we do not? God
has given us great work and furnished
us with excellent equipment. Then let
us put forth our energies for the evan.
gelization of the unchurched masses of
our state and then extend our efforts
to the people without"
