An Episode.


The man stood on the bathroom floor,
While ragged the storm without;
One hand was on the water valve,
The t'other on the spOat.
He fiercely tried to turn the plug,
But all in vain he tried
II see IL ALL am betrayed
The waters frOze!' he cried.
Down to the kitchen then he rushed,
And in the basement dove.
Long strived he for to turn the plugs,
But all in vain he stTove.
"The hydrant may be running yet"
He cried in hopeful tone
Alas, the hydrant, too, was frOze
As stiff as any stone.
Then came a burst--the water pipes,
The plugs-Oh, where were they2

assured of one of the handsomest and
best arranged buildings of this charac-
ter in the state of Iowa. The floor
plans, while practically agreed upon,
are subject to slight notifications If
the donation of Mr.. Carnegie is not
raised from $4,000 to 100000. The trus-
tees, however, have every reason to be-
lieve that the additional $4,000 will he
received, in view of the fact that the
city has. agreed to make the annual
maintenance fund $4,000
The accompanying view of the build
ing gives fair idea Of the exterior ap-
pearance of the structure. The plans
have been altered and the building will
be 6Sx68 feet. The entrance will be on
the corner and the frontage on both

This morning the case of w. NJ
Rich against j. G. Weatherby was
called, but after a jury was secured

Mr.. Weatherby contracted with the
tcompany's agent for the return of the
sacks. when he was to receive re-
bate OF 10 cents each. The company re-

One Who Spent Twenty Years Among

In the recent article, "a Plea for the
Morrnons," we READ the experience OF
one who spent some years in the Zion
of the Latter Day Saints" and OF
COURSE her testimony has weight. 1t is
noticeable, however, that she speaks OF
the individuals, and not of the creed.
We are willing to concede that there
are good, kind people among the Nor
mons, but it is in spite of their belief.
and not because of it. Here, as else
where, there are many who are better
than their creed.
The spark of divinity is not SO easily
crushed, even when this terrible sys-
tenn is brought to bear upon the people.
MY experience in Mormonism was o.
nearly twenty years duration, and /
made a close study of their belief from
every possible viewpoint Let me say
in starting that I had many warm
friends and good neighbors among tive
Morlnons 1t is not the mass of the
people we condemn, any more than the
negroes We're to blame for their en-
shaved condition before the war, but i;
is the terrible doctrines promulgated,
and the despotic rule in our free repub
lie with which we take issue.
If this article is somewhat personal
it is in order that it may be known as
my own experience, and not taken
from other sources.

q Late Easter.

Marshalltown, April 16.-Easter sun
day is the first Sunday after the full
moon which occurs on or after the 21st
of March, or vernal equinox. It is
generally stated that Easter Sunday
cannot be earlier than the ED of
March, nor later than the 25th of April
This statement has heretofore been
true; but it will be possible during the
Goth century to Easter to come as late
as the 26th of April. In 1886 Easter
Sunday was on the 25th of April, the
only time during the century. This
could be only when the full moon was
on April 49, that being Sunday.
There has never yet been full moon
on the 18th of April, but in 1881 the
moon will be full on the 10Th of April,
which will be Sunday and Easter will
be week later, or the 26th. We may
not all live to see it, but many will live
long enough to verify it. In 1905, three
years hence, we shall have a full moon
on the 18th of April. which will be
Wednesday, the Sunday following VIII
be Easter Sunday. April %. Every 10
years thereafter there will be a full
moon on April 49,; and when that date
falls on Sunday. as it will in 1881. we
shall have the latest Easter Sunday
ever known.
