AFTER DELAY
Given Big Load in Good Time by Crowd
of Overworked Stevedores-Some Of
Those Departing.

The SOnoma got away for San Fran
cisco at 6 p. m. yesterday. after an
unusually long stay i'm port. When she
arrived Wednesday night from the Col
onies day late, it was decided that it
would be useless to attempt to reach
San Francisco next Monday, so it was
thought best to keep the vessel in port
until the following day and give her
plenty Of cargo Although the steve
dores had been busy with the Sierra
all of the pervious day, getting her San
Francisco freight out they went to
work on the Sonoma and kept at it
from II p. m. Wednesday until yester-
day at p. m. During that time. 500
tons of coal 700 tons of sugar and con-
siderable additional miscellaneous
freight, We're put aboard her. Taking
into consideration the terrible strain,
the SteVedores had been under and that
they had been working steadily for
over 30 hours, their performance was
remarkably good and Captain Clark
the wharf superintendent of the
Oceanic company, deserves great credit.
A very large crowd of passengers
sailed on the vessel from this port and
the Channel wharf was crowd with
their friends to bid them farewell.
Among those who left We're Mrs.
w. +. Frear and Miss Helen
Desha. They are going to attend the
annual convention of the WOmens Fed

shortly at Los Angeles. A number Of

FOURTH ANNIVERSARY.
Central Church of Christ in Des
Moines and the Institutional
Work 1t IL Doing,

The Central Church of Christ, of
Des Moines, of which Rev. H. O. Bree-
den is the pastor, has celebrated it's
fourth anniversary as an institution
al organization. 1t now conducts
complete educational establishment,
which occupies "a rooms outside of
the regular church organization au-
ditorium. Most of the classes are
conducted in the evening. The course
of study is adapted to the kind of
students which are accommodated by
the institution. The institutional
part of the church has it's own d.
rectory. DR.. Breeder watches over
the whole.
Admission to study in the depart
ments is open to all alike, whether
members of the Christian church or
not. Nearly 400 students are annual
ly enrolled. Social clubs, recreation
clubs, camera clubs and all sorts of
sub-organizations designed to elicit
and maintain the interest of pupils
are maintained within the institution.
All of the common branches are
taught, practical trades, such as
dressmaking to girls, cooking to
some, music, etc. Gymnasiums are
maintained, also. This is the only in
stitutional work being done by a
church in Iowa as regularly estab-
lished thing, and its success, 1t 10

MAY BE UNCHAsTE.
The Supreme Court, In Recent De-
cision, Says the Term IL APP
pltcable to Spinsters.

1t makes no difference whether the
victim of the SANDER of lack of chas-
tity is married or unmarried, accord
ing to ruling of the supreme court,
in affirming the trial court in the case
of Grace Cushing VS.. Patrick Heder-
man, appellant. The appeal was from
the court of Judge S. M. Elwood, in
Crawford county. The lower court
awarded the plaintiff $1,000 damages
because the defendant had slandered
her in declaring she had been guilty
of unchaste conduct. An effort was
made by the appellants attorneys tc
maintain that as the plaintiff was not
married woman the language imput-
ed to the defendant did not constitute
SANDER. The supreme court holds nc
such distinction can be made and that
it does not matter whether the per.
son slandered was married or not.

Two Cases Are Reported to the stats
Board of Health and Isolation
Ii Advised.

Two cases of leprosy have been re.
ported to the state board of health,
one from Gilmore City and the other
from Humboldt. The latter is that
of Scandinavian woman, 81 years
of age, who came to this country five
years ago. Isolation has been adj
vised in both cases, preferably in their
respective families, since Iowa has no
home for lepers. 1t is said that the
conditions of climate, quantity of
food and sanitary regulations in Iowa
are such that the disease can hardly
be regarded a. contagious.

Two Companies Formed in This State

Fairfield, Nov. S.-Iowa spectators
have been investing largely in Cana
dian land the past two years. but re-
Gently large amounts have gone into
Missouri land, but the latest is to turn
to the Isle of Pines for land invest
ments. Residents of Jefferson county
have become largely interested in this
new island possession of the United
States. A company was formed about
a year ago to own and operate an ex-
tensive plantation on the Isle of Pines.
The past week another similar COM
pany has been formed, with headquar-
tiers at Fairfield, some business men OF
Havana being also interested in the
company. An option has been secured
on what is known as the Santa Fe PLAN
tation, which is to be divided UP into
farms and the Iowa owners will COM
mence the raising of fruit and sugar
cane. A number of Iowa men have Wis
tied the Isle of Pines and are delighted
with it. They report that the indus
tries of the island have been neglected
by the Spanish people. and it is one of
the richest in the world in natural re-
