BISHOP JOYCE breaches.
Unusually Interesting Services at ME-
and PRESBYTERIAN Churches.

The services at the NJ. E. church
were of unusual interest yesterday.
The occasion was the dedication OF
the new Swedish M. e. church on
Fourth street, between Hickory and
Jackson. Bishop l. W. Joyce preached
the dedicatory sermon. The .ehurch
was crowded to its capacity and the
deepest interest was manifested in the
most excellent sermon preached by
Bishop Joyce. Bishop Joyce is re-
garded as one of the ablest divines in
this country. He is a man of wide
experience and learning, having spent
two years in China, and many months
in India, Palestine and Rome. After
the sermon a collection was taken
for the benefit of the new church and
$3.50. 90 was subscribed,
The Methodist and Presbyterian
churches held union services in the
Presbyterian church in the evening,
and Prof. Cooper, of Hamlin OniVer-
sity, preached the sermon. His sub
ject was the parable of the sower. He
is a fluent and able speaker, anda
large audience was much pleased with
the address. The beautiful soprano
and tenor duet sung by Mrs. 81. A.
Patterson and Mr.. Geo. E. Brett was
we'll received by the audience.

HE LIKES CUBA.

D M. Baldwin, nf Redwing, has
lust returned from trip to Caba'
having left for that island on FsDru-
ary 9th, last. Of his trip the Repub-
Iican says: "He has been in Havana
before, but this ia the first time that
he has travelled through the island
"Mr. Baldwin says that conditions
in Cuba are fair, but could be greatly
improved. There are thousands OF
acres of land which lie as waste, but
which could easily be put under cui,
tivation. The natives use the OLD
method of blowing with pillow some
thing on the order of stick, ano
naturally it does not do satisfactory
work. A large colony from the United
States will go to Cuba shortly ano
with their improved methods of farm
ing will no doubt bring good results
Gas to whether the Cubans are YET
in a position to govern themselves
Mr., Baldwin has his doubts. He De-
lieyes. however, that the United States
is doing the right thing and that the
peopIe of that island should be given
chance. After the experiment is made
it can be readily seen how intelligent
the Cubans are and how much they
ought to be given encouragement.
+"The climate of Cuba is very argee
able and Mr.. Baldwin is greatly pleas
ed with his visit.

GOES UP AGAIN.

Butter has advanced one to two
cents a pound in the cities again, and
it is predicted that it will be above
the usual price all summer.
Commission men generally join in
ascribing the high price of butter to
the last years drouth. The drouth cut
off the feed crop; the price of feed
rose and the farmers cut down the
feed. The COW did the only thing left
passed it along and cut down the
milk supply. The demand for butter
did not decrease, and consequently
there is large demand with little
supply and high prices. Only abun,
dant spring rains and warm weather
to start the vegetation will bring any
thing like relief to the markets.
Clutter will be cheaper when there
is plenty of grass, said W. W. P,
Mcconnell, state dairy and food com
missioner. ''Many owners of cattle
make the mistake, however, OF turn
ing their COWS out to pasture now,
and then wonder why the COWS givt
less milk than before.

let their COWS out until there wal

HAWKEYE TROLLEY LINES.
State Will Be Covered With a Net
work of Interurbans.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 19.-Elec-
tions have been called in several COM
munities in Iowa for the purpose OF
voting taxes in aid of interurban rail
ways. Under the generous laws en-
acted in favor of such lines by the last
general assembly, the state will in a
few years become covered with net
work of interurbans. The Hamann
measure, which was passed by this
assembly, gave to interurban lines the
rights of steam railroads, with a few
restrictions.
Under this law such electric lines
have the right of eminent domain and
power to use the highways with the
consent of three-fourths Of the abut-
ting property owners. They are in a
degree restricted in cities. where if a
general freight business is done, it is
necessary to pay damages to persons
owning property AUDITING on the
streets where the lines run. On the
whole, the law gives interurban wide
i liberty.
, There is also the Blanchard law,
which permits communities to vote
taxes up to per cent in aid of inter
|, urban lines. This measure was passed
only after encounTering concerted op
} position from the steam railway cor
, porations.
One of the proposed lines is to rui
from Des Moines west, through Guth
