what the weather Bureau Has to
Say About Conditions.
The last bulletin of the weather sta
ton says:
The temperature during the week av-
eraged considerably above the normal
in the middle and northern districts,
reaching 100 degree at Huron and Pierre
on July 20. The showers that occurred
were generally light, except locally in
middle and northern counties along the
Missouri river, where they were copi-
Gus. There was some local hail injury
in several counties. On the whole. it
was warm, dry week, but very IA
vorable for the harvesting and securing
of small grains.
Barley harvest Is nearing completion
and the bulk OF the crop is well Sc
cured in shock or stack. Dat harvest
is far advanced toward completion, and
that harvested has been secured under
very favorable conditions. Wheat har-
vest Is progressing very favorably in
the middle and southern counties, and
in the extreme southeastern counties
Ia nearing completion. Some rye, bar
ley and oat threshing has been done

In the middle and northern counties
the high temperature and dry weather
are maturing late wheat somewhat too
rapidly. and some injury in quality is
anticipated therefrom, though not gem
orally.
Corn, on the whole, has done we'll,
especially in the southern counties, but
over large areas is beginning TO need
rain. Much of the crop in middle and
southern districts is silking and some
earring. The crop is still backward in
middle and northern districts.
Flax generally continues to do well.
and some has been harvested, but N
many localities is needing rain. though
not to any extent.
Early potatoes are maturing, but I'm
many localities the late planted are
needing rain.
Pastures need rain over large areas,
but because of the nature of the wild
grass generally continue good.
Haying has progressed favorably, but
to a large extent has given place to the
harvesting of small grains. That cut
has been secured under very favorable
conditions

The Hague, Feb. 3.-There was un-

with the British minister, Sir Henry
Howard; the first secretary of the le-
CATION, A. F. G. Leveson-Gower, unex-

A TALK o ICE.
Some Facts n nd Comparisons Which
VIII Surprise Scores of Well
Informed Readers.

The college professor asked the
rest of US whether ice vas colder in
winter than it was in summer. Now,
to the rest of us, ice was ice, and
therefore we could not see how it
could remain ice and be either cold
err or warmer. Then the professor
explained the thing in this fashion:
"If a thermometer is buried in ice
in summer it will indicate 80 degrees.
If you throw a piece of ice into boil
ing water, and leave it there until it
is almost gone, what is left will be
still at 80 degrees. Ice can never be
gotten above that temperature.
"But while ice can never be warmed
above SO degrees, it will go as much
iceman delivering ice one zero day in
January was asked whether his ice
was any colder than in July. He
thought not. But, as a matter of
fact, a piece of summer ice, if he had
had it, would have been something
of a foot warmer for him, as it would
have been 80 degrees warmer than
the air of the bottom of his wagon.
Milking SAT- with ice makes it much
cooler. The ice in a wine cooler goes
down to about zero. This is why the
point zero on our m Their
mometers was fixed where it is. 1t
was supposed to be the lowest point
which could be reached by artificial
means. Since then we have reached
about 1888 degrees below zero by
chemical processes.
"Ice will cool down with everything
else on a cold night to zero or below.
What should prevent it? On a day
iron, a block of ice, outdoors will
stay at 80 degrees. If the weather
grows warmer the iron will warm up
with the weather, but the ice will
stay at 80 degrees and melt away.
But if the weather grows colder the
iron and the ice will cool off, and one
just as much as the other.
"As the ice grows colder it gets
harder and more brittle. There can
be no hickory bend on a skating pond
on a zero day, for ice is then too brit
tie. Slivers of ice dipped in liquid air
become so hard that they will cut
glass. Water thrown on ice in the
arctic regions will SILVER it like
pouring boiling water upon cold glass.
This is because the ice is so much
colder than the water."-BEyerages.

Description OF The Building

The church building stands in a
commanding location at the corner of
First avenue and Third street. occu-
nying a lot sixty by one hundred and
twenty feet.
The front" of the church is to the
north and the entrance is on the east
side toward the south. The building
Is after a style of architecture known
as the English Gothic and was built
from plans prepared by Frank Weth-
erell, architect, of this city.
The outer walls are of rock faced
virtrified brick from Oskaloosa and the
trimmings are of Blue Bedford rock.
The appearance Of the building is at
once dignified and imposing. The
tower, twenty feet in laternal dimen-
sions,' rises from the northeast corner
TO a heighth of 81 feet and 6 inches
from the common level and gives an
air of statliness to the structure that
cannot fail to impress all who see the
church. The main entrance on the
east side, near the "old part" of the
building is a deep gothic arch of fine
proportions and has attracted much
attention.
Inc old church building was left
in the position to which IT was moved
sometime e at the south end of the
lot. The exterior was veneered with
brlck and made 10 conform TO the new
narts OF the church building proper.
} part OF the building is to be de-
voted TO the Sunday school, Guild
HAN and the Choir Rooms. The df.
mensions of this part are sixty by
tw~enty-eight feet. A large and roomy
basement underlies the old church part
n contains the steam heating ap-
paratus.
III interior OF the new church Is at
once elegant and beautiful. The cell.
ing Is formed by the open truss roof
and Is nicely finished. The side walls
are OF tinted rock plaster,and have
stained glass windows. The dimen-
sions Of the Nave are ~sixty-one feet in

IRON IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
~fammation ; little pustular s%ruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off /; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a ~tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
hurnor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood

o all We works of the Lord,

That hath breath.
Praise the Lord.
Amen.
The bells are from the famous
foundry of Meneely & Co., of West
Troy, New York, the old original bell
foundry of the country and the max
ers of the sweetest toned bells in the
land.
They arrived in the city Wednesday
and were Immediately delivered to
the church. Mr.. w. HI. Nutting, who
had been sent along with them, super
intended their raising to the tower
and the subsequent hanging ready
for use. The chimes were raised to
the "bell deck of the tower, a distance
of sixty feet, by means of block and
tackle and were taken in at the east
side of the tower. The work, SEEM
ingly very difficult, was accomplished
with comparatively little work or eff
fort and was completed in much less
time than had Deen anticipated. Mr..
Nutting is to be complimented for the
expeditions manner in which he sup
e%rintepded the work. The gentleman
has been in the business since 1864,
and he states that he has never had
an accident of any kind in connection
with raising bells.
Mr.. Fred P. Lott, of West Troy, ar
rived in the city Saturday to have
charge of the bells during "Consecra-
ton Sunday" and to give instruction
in operation to those who will have
charge Of the chimes in the future.

ing Of the memorial bells or chimes
and by the presenting to the Bishop
| of a class for confirmation by the Rec
tor, w. RI. Frost.
At the blessing of the bells by
Bishop Morrison and the dedication
to the purpose for which they were
presented the congregation arose and
stood during the prayer and the de-
claration and then the chimes sound
ed the tune of LEAD Kindly Light"
two times. The scene was a most i'm
pressive one, and will not soon be for
gotten by those who witnessed it.
The treat of the morning was repeat
ed in the evening when Bishop VIII
Jams of Omaha, occupied the pulpit
again. Another splendid sermon and
teaching came from the lips of the
speaker and every word was accorded
the closest attention by the congrega-
ton that rivaled in numbers the crowd
of the morning. This was the
Bishops first visit to the city of o.
kaloosa but he has made many friends
by his presence and by his words
from the pulpit and it may be allow
able to predict that he will not make
this his only visit to the city.
1t was a fitting close to the events
to the day that the Rector Rev. w. H.
Frost should present to Bishop Morri-
son a class of fourteen candidates for
the rites of confirmation. The class
came forward following the sermon
and were received by the Bishop after
the required forms of the church.
The conservation service of Sunday
was not the first service to be &eld in
the new building. The place has been
open to the parish for a number of
weeks and has been used as a place
of worship but the formal setting aside
of the building was marked by the
ceremonies of Sunday, February 2.
The first service of any kind to be
held in the church was the celebration
of the nuptial event of Carroll Saw
yer and Miss Berenice Lacey, We'd
nesday, December II, 1901.
The Right Reverend Bishop Morri-
on, of the Diocese of Iowa, was pres
ent Sunday, December %, and conduct
ed a special service, defeating the
place as a house of worship to meet
the needs of the hour. Special Christ
mas services were held in the church
and the Sunday school held a special
program.
January 5 witnessed the special SER
vice for the blessing of the Memorial
pieces of the Sanctuary and the Altar
Rail. All of which have led up to
the final conservation of the building.
