den, of the Congregational church, an
nounced the opening hymn, after which
DR.. Elijah Brown Jones, of the Baptist
church, delivered the invocation. Rev.
Ellison r. Purdy, of the Friends church,
gave the scripture reading. Special
music was prepared for the occasion,
and DR.. f. nj. Coleman, preparatory
to Chaplain Coles address, made a few
remarks explanatory of the reasons
for the union service.
Chaplain Cole took as his text: Not
this man, but Barabas; now Barabas
was a robber" He said that Barabas
represents a system; our Lord Jesus
Christ another, each an extreme. Bar
abas represents the saloon system.
There are three classes in this world
the producer, the assistant producer and
the parasite. The producer is well under
stood; the assistant producer stands
between the producer and the consum-
err; the teacher the preacher, the editor,
ETC., are assistant producers. The par
asite feeds upon the lives of others.
The saloon is parasite. The question
then is: How long are we to allow this
parasite to feed upon the morals, the
pocketbook, the hearts and lives of the
community?"
Chaplain Cole then gave statistics,
saying that it had cost the United
States, during the past year, $780,
000, 900 to keep up the saloon system.
Marshall county paid $16,92S.S6 last
year for the prosecution of criminals.
The canteen system in soldiers homes
was also touched upon.
Chaplain Cole gave as an Illustration
the following: suppose a cannibal
coming over to this country to settle in
the outskirts of this city; his killing
of little child and being discovered
just in the act of cooking it for his
dinner. What would you do in that
case? Would you go around with a
mulct petition? Would you license
that cannibal to kill and eat fifty other
children? No, you would see justice
melted out in less than two hours. l
would rather, a dozen times, that my
children would fall into the hands of
a cannibal than become victims of the
damnable saloon system"
AT the United Evangelical church
Rev. Russell addressed large audience
on the subject, Sure Foundations and
Abiding Superstructure."

Court Holds That Partnership
With r. NJ. Paley Was Sc
cured Through Fraud
PLAINTIFF GETS ALL HE ASKS
Receiver Putzel, of Paley G. Phelps. Will
Turn Over All the Money in His
Hands to Mr.. Phelps--Balance Due
Secured by Judgment Against Mr..
Paley-Paley Shall indemnify.

The long drawn out and hard-fought
case OF Lucius B. Phelps VS.. X. M. Paley
was brought to close in the district
court at 4:3O o'clock Saturday after
noon when Judge Burnham rendered
his decision, declaring the partnership
in the ,jewelry firm, for which re-
oeiver was asked by Mr.. Phelps, was
secured by fraud.
Mr.. Phelps, the junior member of the
firm of Paley & Phelps, brought his
action last summer. at a time when
Mr.. Paley was out of the city. The CO.
partnership was formed Jan. 9, 1902,
and since that time, the plaintiH
averred, the defendant had not looked
after the business, but instead had
spent most of his time in Chicago, leav-
ing him in charge. Serious allegations
were made, even so far as to intimate
that Mr.. Paley had been guilty of GER.
tain acts that might be construed as
criminal Misrepresentation in the
stock when the partnership was
formed, was also alleged, and this has
been held by the court, which declares
that the contract of partnership, en-
tered into by Mr.. Paley and Mr.. Phelps,
was secured on the part of Paley by
MISREPRESENTATION and fraud. The con-
tract was set aside absolutely and the
prayer of the petition granted in full,
viz: That Phelps shall recover of Paley
the full amount of the money paid by
him, $4,000 with interest at per cent.
from the time of the formation of the
CO. partnership. Jan. 9, 1902; that Paley
shall indemnify Phelps for any debts
that might exist against the firm; that
the receiver be directed to pay all
money in his possession, $S,S22, to Mr..
Phelps, and that a judgment be rem
dered against Mr.. Paley for the balance.
This winds up one of the important
cases, outside of the criminal docket,
of the term. The case was begun for
the August term, but was continued.
Evidence was taken earlier in the Octo-
Der term, and the arguments were con-
cluded only on Thanksgiving day, at
special session of court, held by Judge

future had been of no avail, and If Ad-

be mustered out soon. Mr.. Brown SAID,
however, that they did have plan IN

when it will probably be known what
action will be taken.

In the history of foot ball in the
high school there was never a year
when the prospects for team for the
coming season We're as flattering as
they are now. While the eleven this
year did not make particularly bril-
liant showing, there were several good
reasons for it. The principal one was
that almost the entire team was green
there being but two or three of last
years men on the eleven. While early
in the season all the games were lost
the team began to get together after
it was too late and for the past month
has been playing better foot ball. prob
ably, than any high school eleven this
city has ever produced.
Already the boys are making plans
for next year and at meeting, to be
held Friday night, a captain for next
year will be chosen. Three members
are being talked Of They are Salisbury,
Kent, and Lounsberry. Kent has made
an excellent captain, and while dis
abled for a time by injuries he con-

Is the intention of the team now to go

annual outing next August in order that
some preliminary training and practice
may be done before the school season

Word received by the officials at the
Soldiers Home today from Usage,

of q member of the institution, Jared
J. Harrison. Mr.. Harrison killed him

that he had been growing respondent
of late.
Harrison came to the Home from
Usage on Nov. IL, 1901. On Oct. he
left on a furlough, receiving an order
for half-fare transportation to Usage,
where he expected to visit his children.
II seems he stopped in Cedar Falls for a
visit before going home, he having for
merly operated paper mill at that
place. Harrison was a New York SOL
der, having served in Company A. One
Hundred Twenty eighth infantry. He
enlisted on Aug. 2, 1862, at Hudson, N.
Y, and was discharged on July II, 1865,
at Albany. After the war he came west
and for many years lived in different
PARTS of this state. He prospered for a
time, but later, thru financial reverses,
lost what money he had accumulated.
and was finally compelled TO enter the

to the Odeon Saturday evening antlci-
pating a treat in the production OF Ed
ward Roses dramatiZation OF STANLEY
j. Weyman's thrilling novel, Under
the Red Robe" by the Neill Com
pany, We're disappointed. The COM
pany is far from being capable one,
especially when it comes to putting
before the public the scenes that the
dramatist and the novelist contem-
plated in q production of the character
of "Under the Red Robe" Where the
strength would naturally be expected
it was sadly lacking. Mr.. Neill. as the
gay and dashing gamester, Gil de Ber-
ault, failed to arouse the enthusiasm
that the character is supposed to call
forth in the numerous climaXes, which
admit of the best kind of dramatic et-
fort. Miss Edythe Chapman, as Renee
de Cocheforet, who is supposed to have
an equally important duty to perform
in making those climaXes acceptable
to an audience, ranted and raved and
grimaced to an extent that the thrilling
scenes were reduced to resemble what
might be expected in an average ten
twenty thirt" melo-drama- Mr.. Neill
is attempting something too heavy with
so small a company. Doubles and
'supes" will not produce Under the
Red Robe" in a way that 1t should be,
and the leading characters, at any rate,
must be portrayed by people Of dram
attic merit. The two best characters
of the play in the Saturday night pro-
duction were George Bloomquests

small, but it was all that the company
deserved,
