Experience Meeting.

A generation ago every we'll regulated Meth
odist church went hand in hand with experience
meetings, and the careless sister or brother who
account would have to be rendered to the lead
err of the meeting, but like all sublnnary af-
fairs the usages of churches change and pase
away. So when certain division of the work.
ers in the NJ q church announced that they
would conduct an experience meeting in the
church last evening every person was deter
mined to be there. Why who knew what great
confessions might be made of secret depravity
or what grand story of high development in
heart lives: OF course everyone was going to
see what it WAS all about and so the auditorium
wss filled with a throng of lEen and women
bent upon being entertained and spending
pleasant meeting whatever might come and
there was none of the company went away dis
appointed for the evening was very enjoyable
although the experiences told were not of heart
struggles and triumph. but of the ingenuity
resorted to in each lady in earning u dollar
''ail her own labor" The first number on the
program vas History of Kummage sales
prepared py Mrs y IL NoV ana read oy MIS- A b
Warner. The ladies of the church have been
adding to their treasury all winter by having
rummage sales and so they meant to let Others
know how it was done for pleasure as we'll as
for profit" Then each lady told how her in
divldual dollar was and it all sounded like
a chapter out of a story book and every per
son was highly entertained and applause was
given generously. All through the exercises
recitations and singing were interspersed. TIE
little ones each and all acquitted themselves rs
well as their elders so that the entire program
was very much enjoyed. The neat sun of
s5s. go was added to the treasury as result of
the evenings entertainment.

What the matter with Ms. Valley?

resentatives today. providing for pub
lie building in Atlantic. and eppropri-
ating $4,000 for the purpose of carry
ing out the measure.
The above telegram is Clipped from
the Atlantic Telegraph, and should
have a tendency to make the citizens
of Missouri Valley feel that they are
not doing their whole duty TO Con-
gresham smith). The town Of blair,
Neb., is building $4,000 government
post office building. and now Atlantic
seems to be IN fair wav to get an Gp-
preparation for a So, OCO post office
building. Missouri Valley is one of
the great railroad centers in Weste n
Iowa, more passenger and mail trains
arrive and depart daily than either in
Blair or Atlantic, but yet we do not
hear of public building in Missouri
Valley! Is it because we do not at
tend to our Congressman from this
district, Or is 1t because he thinks that
Cass County can do more for his re-
nomination and election than Harri-
son County can. Mo Valley should
get move on itself if it expects any
thing from the Congressman from this
district.

INFLUX OF UNDESIRABLE
EMMIGRANTS INCREASING
Report Saus Steamships Ere
Smuggling Them Through bu
Wdu of Canada

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-
The annual report of Commissioner of
immigration Sargent will show that
the number of immigrants arriving
from Europe is increasing, and that
the largest increases are from eastern
Europe, which furnishes the least de-
sirable classes
A strong recommendation will be
made by Commissioner Sargent for
the enactment of more stringent laws
to prevent the continued influx of un-
desirable immigrants, who are lower
ing the standard of American citizen
ship
Commissioners Sargent has discoF-
cred that several Atlantic steamship
lines have formed a. coalition to nnllify
the immigration laws. He says these
lines are offering prospective imni-
grants guarantee that they will land
them in the United States, promising
to get them into this country by way
of Canada if they are rejected at a
seaport. immigration inspectors have
found that many have been brought
through in that way. Mr. Sargent has
accordingly strengthened his force on

STRONG and HCtv6

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 20
The events connected with the cam
paign of Representative Loud of c al
ifornia may give the Postoffice Depart
ment an opportunity to enforce in
some summary way the rule against
officials of the government interfering
with political matters. Action was
taken today which indicates that such
interference will be dealt with
promptly.
Within the last week or so President
Keller, of the Letter Carriers associa-
tion,. was reelected. Keller is a
Cleveland carrier on leave of absence.
1t is understood he was given $1,000
by tn eassociation to pay his necessary
travelling expenses. He went to San
francisco, and the attention Of the
Department was called to that fact
and also to the fact that it was be-
lived his mission there was antagonis-
tic to the election of Representative
Loud, because of Mr.. Loud's unpopu-
larity with the association, owing 10
his refusal TO support legislation de-
sired by it.
The situation was described by tel
egraph to First Assistant Postmaster
eneral Wynne, who is on his vacation,
and today he sent back orders to cancel
Mr.. Keller's leave. This was done,
and now there will be nothing for
Keller to do but return to Cleveland
and resume his duties as a letter car

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 29.-Because
he objected to his daughters entertain
ing beaux on his doorstep till midnight
and after, Daniel T. Dobbins, aged 81
years, of $40 South Ewing avenue, was
defendant in the first district police
court today. The prosecuting wit
nesses were Hattie D. and Mamie Dob
bins, aged Ia and 10 years respectively.
The charge was disturbing the
peace. On the stand the aged father
declared his girls had entertained COM
pany with many sounds indicative of
close affection until after the midnight
hour. This, he said, had become a
habit this summer. He determined
Saturday night to stop this practice.
The elder girl being of legal age, was
beyond his jurisdiction, but Mamie
was soundly spanked in the presence
of her suitor. The young women
were SO indignant that they had papa

HE Rte RAW MEHT
TO DEFY THE TRUST
An Old Yankee Captain Who Hated
the Combines Did Business
Himself

ROCKLAND, Me, Sept. 29.-Captain
Ernest Gray, a young sea captain, was
seized by a fit of insanity yesterday
afternoon. The subject of beer had
apparently been uppermost in his
mind. and his mania took the form of
delusion that he was being starved
by the beef trust In the presence of
a score or more persons he dived head
foremost through the window of Oscar
Duncan's market and made for the re-
frigerator. There he seized a large
piece of raw beef and returned to the
strete eating it voraciously. The
alarmed relatives promptly summoned
physician and the police, and he was
restrained.
Captain Gray has just returned from
Boston, where he has been acting for
some months as agent of the Rockland
lime syndicate. He sailed between
this port and Boston in command OF
a lime coaster for a number of years
and his great strength was we'll known
in marine circles. He has never dis
played any traces of insanity.

GRUESOME MURDERREP0RTED

| rier or retire from the service The
Department will give prompt attention
to all information it may receive in
the future showing that any letter car
ried is in any way using the influences
of his position to defeat the election
of Mr.. Loud, as that would be clearly
in violation of the civil service rules
and would warrant immediate dismis-
sal from the service.
Mr.. Loud is chairman of the House
of Representative committee on post
offices and post roads. and in that ca
pacity has considered various sugges-
tions for legislation that came from
the Letter Carriers association. He
has not approved many of these sug-
gestions and in opposing them has had
the opposition of the association, which
has 1000 letter carriers all over the
country enrolled as it's members.
The reported effort to defeat Mr..
Loud for reelection is regarded as one
of the worst forms of political inter-
ference on the part of the government
employees. If such interference were
permitted, it is said Congress might as
we'll give up the framing of legislation
to associations of employees interested
in its passage. Such associations not
only command money by means OF
assessments they can make on their
members, but because of their official
positions these employees could readily
exert an enormius influence in electing
or defeating candidates for Congress.
