FINE SERVICES.
Impressive Ceremonies At the CoDgre-
gational Church ON Sunday.

The services atsthe Congregational
church on Sunday Feb. 20, 1902, were
very impressive and will long be re-
membered by those fortunate enough
to attend them.
At the morning service eight were
received into membership, five of
them by baptism. q To see those five
young peopleskneel for baptism, to
hear thel solemn words of prayer
followingieach baptism and to listen
to the low, sweet music of the choir
as they sang from "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" stirred the emotional
nature of many and left beautiful
memories that will never be effaced
The music was grand and the church
had beeni beautified by decorating
with six large California palms stand
ing full twelve feet high.
The evening service was in COM
memoration of Washington's BIRTH
day and was added to by the presence
of Co. F. The music was appropriate
to the occasion. For the evening
service flags were added to the dec
orations.
Both addresses were able and in
structive.

TAPPED THE TILL.
Robbers Make Away with Slot VIA
chine Receipts.

Harris Brothers & Yenney have had
an automatic gum machine at the
front of their store on First avenue
that has been serving the public in
its way for some time. Some one
took notion.to operate the machine
in new way Saturday night and on
Mondaylmorning it was broken open
and minus it's charge of pennies and
other stores. The police have had
numerous complaints of this charac-
ter in the past several weeks and
some one may suffer il the business
continues. One of the best paying
jobs that the thieves did was breaking
open the gas meter at the Greasy
Spoon chop house recently and get
ting away with the contents. Super
intendent Bailey thinks the fellows
got between eight and ten dollars in
this haul.

FREIGHT WRECK.
Rock Island Meets With bad Accident
Near Brighton

Brighton Enterprise: -One of the
most costly wrecks ever known on this
division of the Rock Island railroad
occurred on the trestle works OF the
Skunk River bridge Thursday morn
ing. At nine O'Clock the west bound
freight broke in two at the old water
tank. The engine and 10 cars passed
over safely but the IA rear cars ALI
left the track and plunged off of the
trestle to the ground some 20 feet
below making complete wreck of
every car and it's contents of vaIu-
able merchandise. The destruction
of property is estimated at $50, 900.
Each of the IA cars was filled with
goods covering everything in the way
OF groceries, dry goods, machinery,
pianos, canned beef, ect. The track ex.
tending 100 feet upon the trestle was
torn up and a number of the heavy
oak pilings were broken off like pipe
stems under the pres sure of the fall
ing cars. All traffic was stopped
over the road for about 4S hours.
No one was hurt.

SHOE STRINGS.
And One Reason why the Article is of
such Poor Material

81 would like to buy pair of good
shoe laces" said the customer to an
Oskaloosa merchant, who, by the way,
is not an exclusive shoe dealer. The
laces were brought forth and the GUS
toner complained"I do not like these,
they are the same old thing, they are
so rotten that they wear out with a
weeks continuous service. How
much? Your compliments you say?
Thank you sir. But my dear sir what
is the trouble here of late? Why can
we not get good laces, those that are
to be depended upon as not pulling
in two? / am willing to pay for my
laces but whenever approach deal
er for the article, he brings out the
same old cotton string with my COM
pliments' and states that it is the best
thing that he has in stock? 1 am tired
of these poor goods"
The merchant smiled refectively
and then stated that it was singular
fact that the shoe string question had
been receiving much attention from
the dealer of late. 1t has come to the
point where the dealer cannot charge
for his laces. He distributes them as
sort of advertising medium How
the custom ever came to be started l
do not know, but the fact remains
that very few customers expect 10
give anything in return for pair of
laces. These conditions have led the
merchant to get his laces for the least
possible money. The manufacturer
charges for the product no matter
how many the retail merchants may
have to give away. THE laces dis
tributed to my trade last season."
avered the merchant, "cost me in the
neighborhood of one hundred dollars
aud the item was charged in the ex-
pense account. 1t does not pay to
keep the better article as there is alb
solutely no demand. People are wear
ing poor laces and they will wear no
better ones as long as they get the
article for the asking. The manu-
facturers have started the public on
the idea of purchasing laces by in
style that calls for fancy
and unusual colors and designs. This
may have some effect in time. " eyes
there are good laces of linen and silk
manufactured, but they are drug in
this market and we do not keep
them"

FIEND IDENTIFIED.
Katie Gallagher Says Davidson
Outraged Her.

Ottumwa, Feb. 21.-In the presence
of number of persons, in the office
of Sheriff Cremer, this morning, little
IL year-old Katie Gallagher positively
identified Edward Davidson as the
man who outraged her upon the pub
lie highway near her home in Eddy
Vile February Is. The Identification
was complete, the little girl saying
there could be no possibility OF mis-
take. What effect the positive state
ment of the girl will have upon the
people of Eddyville can hardly be
told. 1t is said that the populace of
that vicinity is still very highly in
famed over the assault, but it is
not thought that there will be an at
tempt to wreak summary vengeance
upon the man charged with the crime.
He is still incarcerated in the Wapello
county Jail, and will probably be kept
there until the grand jury acts upon
the case.

Missionary Meeting,

The mission rally at the Christian
church Sunday morning was quite
largely attended and program of
greatest interest was presented. The

occasion and was as follows:

Church," Mrs. Richard Hull.
1.-THE Claims of the Christless Ma

THE GOLDEN RULE.
DIR. TruebIoOd Discusses the Relations
OF Nations of the World.

DIR. Benjami Trueblood was heard
at the Congregational church Monday
evening by an audience made up
largely of his former friends and ac-
quaintances of the city. The gentle
man made fine talk, his subject be-
ing "The Golden Rule as Practiced
by the Nations of the Earth" The
lecture was instructive and interest
ing from first to last and all who heard
it were much pleased. Evidently the
doctor has lost none of his powers as
a logical thinker during his residence
in Boston, and his work as secretary
of the Peace Society has given him
opportunity of working out the prob
lens with which that organization
has to deal.

NO SLEEPERS.
Disagreement Between the Milwaukee
and Iowa Central

The last run of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul buffet sleepers, at
present carried over the Iowa Central
on trains Nos. and 2, between the
Twin Cities and Kansas and st. Louis
were run Sunday.
The pulling off of the sleepers by
the Milwaukee is due to a disagree
ment between the Central and the
Milwaukee, concerning matters with
the Pullman company, which operates
one of the three cars to equalize the
mileage.
1t is not thought the Central will
be without sleepers any great length
of time, because arrangements can
be made with the Minneapolis & st.
Louis to deliver sleepers to the
Central at Albert Lea, and in this way
Minneapolis and st. Paul people can
leave either of the twin cities at 9
O'Clock m , and arrive in Kansas
City at 6:55 O'Clock the next morning,
instead of leaving as they have to
now, at 1850 O'Clock, and getting into
Kansas City at 8 O'Clock the next
morning. The NJ. & st. Louis and
Iowa Central now form the short line
to Kansas City and St. Louis and as
soon as arrangements can be made
to install this service patrons will be
better served than heretofore.

POISONING DOGS.
OskaIOOsa In the ThrOes of Some I'm

Oskaloosa people are being made
the victims of wholesale dog
poisoning being perpetrated in the
city. The Migrants who are guilty
of such meanness have not seemed
to confine their acts to any parti-
cular part of the city but have ope-
rated here and there about town and
several valuable CANNES have fallen
be the work of their hand. A dill
gent investigation of the matter is
on foot by citizens who have been
made to suffer and should the Gull
prit or culprits be appreheDded the
limit of the law or something else
will be administered.

The Dog Poisoner.

The dog poisoner is still abroad in

LADS MAKE TROUBLE
John Casio Severely Hurt With
a Chunk of Coal

John Casto, employed at the Green
Candy sales room on High avenue
east, was severely hurt Monday
evening by being struck in the head
by "Rastus" Smith, little colored
boy. "Rastus" came into the candy
shop and made himself a nuisance
and TO the extent that Mr.. Caste had
to put him out. The colored lad
picked up some chunks of coal and
made threats. Cato took the coal
from the boy but as he turned to re-
enter the store Rastus threw one and
struck him in the back of the head.
The missed made deep cut and blood
flowed freely for, q few moments.
Cssto stopped this and attempted to
do some of his work in the store
when he began to feel dizzy and
about twenty minutes after he had
been struck he became unconscious
and remained so for about five hours.
The young man was carried into the
office of DR.. w. s. Windle where he
received careful attention.
The Smith lad was arrested upon a
warrant issued from tie mayors
court and will be held for an examin-
alton.
Mr.. Caste is better today and it is
thought that do serious results will
come from the bump.
Other Troubles.
A duet of young men who have
been employed at the Senate chop
house have been arrested on a war,
rant issued by Squire Rice on 6
charge of larceny. 1t is claimed that
the fellows have been appropriatine
eggs from the provision room of the
chop house and disposing of them tc
their own profit. Complaint was flee
| by Mr.. Black.
A couple of lads of the west end
who are old enough to know better
stole a grip from an Italian peddlel
at the Iowa Central station Monday
They were SO closely pressed that they
were compelled to throw the grip be
meath the Iowa Central freight house
platform, where it was founo by the
officers. The matter was taken be
fore Justice Rice and is being in
vestigated.
The police officers make the state
ment that the city contains number
of youngsters who have been causing
more or less trouble about town fol
some time past. They seem deter
mined to break into the reform schoo
and the officers have about abandon
ed all hope of keeping them out of it

Y. M. c. A. MASS MEETING

Addressed Yesterday by F. W. Moore,
 of Yale-The Next Meetings to be at
 the Old Polo Rink
 Yesterdays meeting at the rooms of the Young Mems Christian association was in charge of F. w. Moore and C.. R. Tillson, both of Yale university. Mir. Tillson sang two solos and MT Moore gave an address based on the sixth verse of the fourteenth chapter of St. John: "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Fath- CT but by Me" He emphasized the i'm portance of acquainting ourselves with the truth in the world by reading the right kind of literature, which would lead us to think the truth, Then, when we have learned to think the truth, we should speak it, then live it. Christ enables men to see the truth. Think of Him and come to know the truth which is to make us free.
 At the after meeting the subject of holding the rest of the June meetings in the old Polo rink, now the property of the association, and to be known as the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club, was discussed, and it was decided to hold the meeting there next Sabbath afternoon at the usual hour, 3:45.
