The Original Use of Canes.

Somebody has been looking up the
history of the original use of canes in
this country and finds that they were
formerly part Of the repertory of the
leaders Of the church. being at one
time the principal badge of the deacon.
The deacon'S cane was about five feet
long, one end being emhellished with
a big knob, the other with feathers.
When the small boy got too noisy or
rehelled against the powers that were,
he was given rap on the head with
the uncharitable end of the stick. If
the head of the family forgot himself
while listening to the morning SER
mon and lapsed into blissful dream
of old times in merry England, the tur-
key plumes ON the deacon's cane feath-
cred him into life again.

entertained an enthusiastic though
not very large audience at the opera
house last Monday night. He de-
served much better house. but the
people are not to blame, wherf dis
gusted once it takes some little time
to get over it. Had they gone how
ever John Thompson would have
taken all the bad taste out OF their
mouth. AS an impersouator he sim
ply takes the rag off the bush, he not
only gets of his characters in appear
ance, costume and actions, but he
handles the dialect of the different
nationalities to perfection, the down

German, the secondhand clothing

represented without a slip. Mr..
Thompson is also fiue musician and
can play on almost every kind Of in
strument. Those who missed John
Thompson missed treat.

Another Bud Transp1anted.

Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Malone have our
sympathy in their sad bereavement
on account Of the death of their little
two year old daughter, Pauline. The
little one was attacked with mumps.
she was already ill and her little
body could not withstand the attack.
She died ut 3 p. m. Sunday, and the
little form was laid to rest in the
Episcopal church yard on Monday
afternoon. 1t is hard to- part with
these little ones, but our consolation
is in knowing that our temporary
loss is their eternal gain. The bud
has only been transplanted to blos-
som into the rose in the beautiful
world beyond this vale Of tears.

LYNCH RESIGNS
General Yardmaster Peter Lynch, Of
the Iowa Central, Resisns-WiII Sow.
or His Connection With the Road
Oct. New Order in Effect.

"A new order, issued from the Office
Of Superintendent j. A. Davis, of the
Central, was received by Agent 7. I.
WATSON and Yardmaster Lynch Sunday
that is to the effectSthat after Oct. 1
the local agents at Peoria, Monmouth,
Oskaloosa, Marshalltown and Mason
City will have charge of the yards and
switchmen at their respective stations,
and the yardmasters at those stations
will be under the instructions of the
local agents.
On receipt Of the order Mr.. Peter
Lynch, who has been general yardmas-
ter in this city for the past four years,
wired his resignation to
Trainmaster Falls.
When seen regarding the matter, Mr..
Lynch said that the new arrangement
was far from satisfactory to him and
he would rather resign his position than
attempt to work under the new rule.
The new order is issued by General
superintendent Sweeney and is similar
to the way yards are managed on the
NJ, X. & T., with which Mr.. Sweeney
was formerly connected. Mr.. Lynch's
successor has not as yet been selected.
Mr.. Lynch during his connection with
the Iowa Central here has made many
friends among the employees of the
road. He is thorough railroad man
and his loss is regretted by all with
whom he has dealings. Mr.. Lynch said
today that his future plans were unset
tied.

Rev. Sanford on "Faith."

Rev. j. r. Sanford of Powersville.
who delivered a vigorous sermon on
Faith" at the Baptist church Sunday
morning. spent a very blue Monday in
deed in the fear of having precipitated
the only sensation of the conference. In
the course of his exhortation to Chris
tan people to study more the word of
God, Rev. Sanford exclaimed that ii
people would spend less time on Num-
sey's Magazine, Ainslee's and the
Times Republican and more time read
ing their Bible they would have no
cause to doubt their faith. Some per-
son of mischievous design told the rev.
erend gentleman that the editor of the
Times Republican had been present
and that he had been sent forth from
the house of worship with blood in his
eye. Visions of sensational newspa-
per attack and a disagreeable contro-
Nersy arose to disturb the good mans
slumbers. AT an early hour this morn
ing the T.-R. telephone rang and expla-
nations We're made. but they We're en-
tirely unnecessary. The editor had been
present. and had interpreted the
preachers remarks to be command to
divide ones reading time between Mum
sey's. the T.-R. and the Bible. and he
went away rather proud of his COM
rany. However, he is glad to know that
Rev. Sanford considers the T.-R. as

WILL NOT PLAY GOLF.
Country Club Grounds Will Probably
Not Be Used This Fall.

Country Club Grounds Will Probably
Not Be Used This Fall.
Members of the Country Club have
not received very much benefit from
their membership fees during the past
summer, and the prospects are that the
conditions this fall are not going to be
much better. at least so far as golf
is concerned, and that is the principal
apastime to the clubs membership.
The continued wet weather of the sum-
mer made it impossible to use the
grounds or even get to the club house
without boat, but it was thought by
Sept. the club could be reopened. A
wet fall is now considered probable and
it is likely that golfers will call the
sport a dead one until next spring.
While there has been no official an
.nouncement to this effect, by the Off
GERS of the club, members take it that
the club is practically closed and will
doubtless remain so during the fall and
winter months. In the meantime the
dues go on just the same and all mem
bers are planning to play more golf
next year in order to make up for the
season they have missed.

chavis' Lecture.

Rev. Jordan d. Chavis, d. D., presi-
dent ofaBennett College, Greensboro N.
c., one of the forty Institutions OF learn
ing under the patronage of the Freed
mans Aid and Southern Education
Society occupied the platform Satur-
day night. DR.. Chavis is one of the
most scholarly men of his race and his
address was very much enjoyed. His
subject was The Southern Disease and
It's Penalty" He discussed the facts
as to the social, political and religious
condition in the south, and Its. effects
upon both the colored and whites. The
remedy proposed by the society he rep
resents' is a thorough training of the
head, hand and heart. The dignity of
labor, he said, needs to be taught in the
south, as 1t is looked down upon by the
whites as well as the colored people.
