MALARIA CAUSES BILIOUSNESS.

To His Excellency, Hon. A. H. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Mis-
sissippi
We, the undersigned officers and
citizens of the county of Greene, re-
spctfully show to your Exoellency
that at the September term, 1901, of
the circuit court of said county and
state, Nay McInnis was convicted Of
grand larceny and sentenced to the
peniteniary for q term of two years,
and is now serving said sentence.
We would recommend said Nay Mo
Innis, to you, for pardon, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
The said Nay McInnis Is only a
boy, Of simple and untutored mind,
who had sold the property that he
was convicted of stealing, partly on
credit, and the amount due him had
not been paid, he acted upon the idea
that he had not lost his title to the
property, little mule, that was his
boyish pet, and instead OF resortlng
to the courts, he took the property
into his possession and afterwards
sold it to his uncle, all of which was
done openly.
The mother of Nay Mcfnnis is in
feeble health, and may not live to see
her son, all OF which facts we hope
will appeal to your sense of mercy,
and after satisfying yourself of the
truth of the facts, we respectfully ask
that you exercise the most gracious
and merciful power committed to
your hands by the people of your
state and pardon this young man.
Yours most respectfully,
If OFFICERS.

The human being seldom thinks much

demands attention. The main causes of sick

and worry. Many have to go to work directly
after meal, and many can't stop working
while they are eating or digesting. Ripans

entire ascension service in the asylum

ted from the program. After the pre-
scribed ritual service Rev. j. K. Black,
the excellent prelate, delivered an adj
dress appropriate to the occasion.
The roll Of the dead, consisting or
thirty-four names, was read by the re-
corder, L S. Willard, the generalissimo.
Byron Webster, and the captain gen
eral, Conrad Ewald. There are three

PARSONS MY LEAVE
Popular Pastor OF Baptist Church
to Receive Call From
Mason City.
Has the Call Under Considera-
ton, as the Field Has
Advantages.
Knights Templar Hold Ascension
Day Services.-News Of
the City.

Marshalltown may lose Rev. Frank
w. Parsons, Phi. D., pastor of the First
Baptist church, providing he decides to
accept call that will soon be rendered
him by the First Baptist church of Ma
son City. News to this effect was re-
ceived this morning from minister OF
the Methodist church who received
some information thru Mason City
sources. DIR. Parsons was in Mason City
Sunday, where he was invited to fill the
pulpit of the Baptist church, recently
made vacant by the resignation OF DR..
Schlieman, who went to Wichita, to
take charge of Baptist college. Inc
church at Mason City has been casting
about quietly in the hopes of securing
some good man, and have come to DR..
Parsons first. DR.. Parsons was seen
this morning and asked about the Ma
son City proposition, but refused to say
much about it. further than to state
that the Mason City church would like
to have him become it's pastor He did
not say what his decision would be,
however, providing a formal call was
presented to him.
1t is sincerely hoped, both in the
church and outside, that the church
here will be able to retain DR.. Parsons
DR.. Parsons is without doubt the
strongest man who has ever filed the
Baptist pulpit, and is one of the strong
est men in the pulpit that Marshall
town has ever had. He is popular not
only in his church, but outside, and
that is certainly one of the strongest
recommendations any pastor can have.
DR.. Parsons has been here ten years,
and was called to Marshalltown on his
merits He is not "candidator" in any
sense of the word and was brought here
thru the efforts Of church members who
had heard of him. 1t will be remem-
bered distinctly by many, when DR..
Parsons was pastor of a little church
at Glenwood, Messrs. T. l. WATSON and
John w. Wells deacons in the church,
went to Glenwood unknown to him. sat
in his church and heard sermon that
was not delivered in anticipation of
having the effect Of obtaining a call to
new church. So pleased were they
that they met with Rev. Parsons in the
afternoon and presented him with
formal call on behalf of the church.
1t would be unfortunate for the church
here, and for Marshalltown, If DR.. Par
sons would leave the city and it is to be
hoped that the Marshalltown church
will make 1T clear to its pastor that his
field of duty is here. The church at
Mason City. it is understood, is about
the same strength in point of mem
bership as the Marshalltown church,
but is weather., even considering the
fact that it was weakened few years
ago by a misunderstanding of members,
which resulted in new body, the Disci-
pies, being formed, reducing the mem
bership somewhat. The church home
is much nicer and the field equally as
good, SO that it may be that DR.. Par
sons will feel that it would better for
all concerned for him to make the
change.

GASOLINE CAUSES FIRE.

Confusion of jugs containing gasoline
and vinegar came near causing serious
damage at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John H. Allgeyer No. 207 North Second
street, Sunday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. Mr.. Allgeyer had been

articles and Mrs. Allgeyer, having oc-
casion to use some vinegar, kept in a
similar vessel, picked UP the wrong
jug. She poured some Of the fluid into
a hot skillet which was on the kitchen
stove, causing the oil and gas to ignite.
The fire communicated to the wood
work of the room, and Mr.. Allgeyer. in
his efforts to throw the blazing recep-
tacles out of doors, was severely
burned about the hands and slightly
burned on the face. An alarm of fire
was turned in from box 25. but before

ever seen coming from fresh water.
The gem was worth easily, 1t is
claimed, $500. Plus has in his pos

of pearls, and is keeping them for a rise
in the market. Money. at the present
time is no object to him, as he drew
