FOR JULY FOURTH
Large Preparations Being Made
for the Parade.
HELP 10 MAKE THE EAGLE S0UACK
Four Large Floats to Be Prepared by
One Business Firm-Many Others
Join-Auspicious Opportunity for
Displaying Business Interests.

Preparations for the Fourth of July
celebration to be held in this city are
progressing in quite a satisfactory
manner. The members of the parade
committee have recently sent out a
large number of requests to the mer-
chants of Ottumwa that they prepare
floats characteristic of their business
to be displayed in the parade. 1t is
reported today by Frank Norfolk, chair
man Of the committee that there has
at the present time been about thirty
answers received concerning the floats.
1t is the desire of the committee to
complete arrangements as speedily as
possible and the members are very
anxious that the business men of this
city respond to this request at as early
a date as is convenient.
Unparalleled Opportunity.
About It's of these requests were
sent out by the committee and it is
felt that out of this number there
should be large part of the mer-
chants and business men who should
take an active interest in this matter.
According to all reports that have
thus far been received in Ottumwa
there will be an exceedingly large
number of visitors in the city to assist
in the celebration of Independence
day Ottumwa is the only place in
this part of the state that is preparing
for any celebration and it is expected
that there will be large delegations in
attendance from Abba, Hedrick, Ed
dyville, Eldon and all the cities and
towns in this vicinity. This will be
H. yocf h1ISi
and industrial interests of the, city
can be displayed in most profitable
manner. Floats constructed, charac-
teristic of the business and merchan-
tile interests, and representing the
different firms OF the city will bring
before the people the realization of the
largeness of the business concerns OF
Ottumwa and will afford an opportun-
ity unparalleled for displaying to the
visitors from other places the advan-
tages to be had in the business circles
of Ottumwa Already there have
been quite a number of firms signify
their intention of being represented
in this manner, one firm having stat
ed that they will have four floats in
the parade and others two and one. (
To Meet Friday.
1t is the plan of those in charge of
the celebration to have a meeting of
the various committees Friday even
ing at the city hall at which time it is
desired that there be made as full a
report as possible as to the progress
of the different committees.
In view of this fact the members OF
the parade committee are DESTROYS OF
having as many floats promised for
the parade as is possible and they re.
quest that the business men of the
city join in this matter and where
there is an intention of taking part in
this manner in the celebration ask
that they be notified at the earliest
possible time.

mustered out a few weeks ago pre-
sumably on account of the lack of in
terest being taken by the members OF
the organization in the affairs OF the
company. There seems to be con-
siderable number of men in that city
who are interested in national guard
affairs and it is desired that they may
be able to hold the company In that
city. 1t is stated there is at present
about sixty men who have slgnihed
their intention to enter the company
and it is expected that the arrange
ments will be completed within a
short time so that the vacancy will be
filled prior to time for camp in Au-
gust. According to the reports re-
ceived in this city it is probable that
David w. Harvey, who was captain of
the Washington company at the time
of the breaking out of the Spanish
American war, will be in charge of
the new organization. AS to who the
remainder of the officers will be there
lis at present nothing known. This
company will probably be mustered
into the service of the Iowa national
guard within a short time as Compa-
ny d of the Fiftieth regiment. Ei

CASES ARE DECIDED.
Judge Roberts Signs DEGREES in Eddy
willie Saloon Suits.

From Tuesdays Daily.)
Injunctions were denied in two of
the Eddyville saloon cases and one
was awarded in the third, by Judge
who signed DEGREES in the
matters which have been taking his
time and attracting considerable at
tention during the past week or two.
The plaintiff in each of the cases was
James Orr of this city, whose attor-
neys were Blake & Hall. The defense
in each case was represented by w.
r. Nelson, of Eddyville, and Jaques &
Jaques of this city.
Iniunctions Denied.
The two cases wherein injunctions
were denied were those entitled
James Orr VS.. J. d. Smith and Mrs.
Mary Leggett, and James Orr vs.John
Highman and Mrs. John Highman. In
each petition the defendants were
charged with maintaining a sSloon
and owning the land upon which it
was conducted, and the petitioner ask
ed for injunctions, temporary and per-
manent, restraining the defendants
from continuing in the liquor bust
ness. The cases attracted much at
tention among Eddyville people, and
lit is said that even the most pronounc.
ed anti-illegal saloon men in the town
were in favor of decision as handed
down this morning by Judge Roberts
for the reason that they had rather
see saloons conducted open and above
board than in out of the way places
Injunction Against Johnson.
In the case of James Orr VS.. Oscar
Johnson and Matthias Bernaur, Judge
Roberts issued an injunction this
morning. This was outwardly the
same kind of case as the others, but
the court was satisfied by the evidence
that an injunction should be issued
and accordingly signed the decree to
day.

BRYAN's LIKELY ISSUES.
Believes Imperialism and Money Cues.
ton Will Come to Front.

Kansas City, June T.-While pass
ing through this city William Jennings
Bryan said he thought Imperialism
would be the principal issue of the
next campaign. "The money question
will also come up" said Mr. Bryan.
"As to what part free silver will play
l cannot say Republicans discuss the
Fowler bill. They say the money
question is a corpse, but the corpse
has so much life in it that they fear
to push this bill before the election,
and have postponed it until the second
session. The trust question will also
come up for consideration in the next
campaign. AT present the democratic
chances look good.''

federate cause to the great trials of the partriarchs and armies of Isreal and pointed out their final triumph. The ef- feet of the sermon was almost magical From despondency the troops became spirited and hopeful The sermon was published and circulated in the army. and elicited praise from General Lee.
 To the fervent zeal of Chaplain Renfroe the revival of religion in the army while at Orange Court House was largely due. Here great numbers of soldiers professed religion For baptismal purposes the Rapidan was accessible. But for great CT convenience a dam was improvised across the Cave Spring Branch near the crossing of that stream by the Orange and Alexandria railroad. Soldiers were baptised here by scores and hundreds and the morals of the army greatly improved.
 Much more might be written of the vir- tues of this man of God as an army chap lain. but the memory of these virtues will be enduringly enshrined In the heart of his old comrades without the aid of a chronicler.
 Returning from the army Dr. Renfroe resumed the activities of the ministry, in which for many years he yielded wide and important influence. He died m Bir- mingham in 1888, scarcely past the meri- dian of life and usefulness

Runs Husbands Mills
Erom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Tn inc face of the greatest sorrow or her ufe-the loss of her husband-Mrs. William Gregory. widow of the late 1oV- ernor of Rhode Island, has taken up the work he laid down. She has become the ,mnortant head of the Gregory mllis' which are the center of the business ac- tivitv. of the little town of Wickford, ana by so doing has averted not only tenn porary loss to the factory world put the ultimate passing of the pIant Into the hands of the combine.
 Mrs Gregory is not a business woman in the narrow sense Of the Woro, put constant association with her nuspano in the maturing of his plans TOT the mills has given her lively sense or con ditions Moreover she was born and hred in wickford. Her father, Syria H. Vaughan. was a merchant and general storekeeper, and she knows her world thoroughly. With characteristic self- sacrifice she put aside her personal sor- row In the moment of emergency and assumed the responsibility which should preserve the ideal of the Gregory mill and the well being of its Wickford cli- entele.
 William Gregory had promised his op- eratives that, winter or summer, Work would always be forthcoming In dull times no "shutdowns' was permitted to Interfere with the community's prosperi- ty. The mills are kept strictly abreast of present day requirements, the worsteds turned out are of the best, and the Greg ory home, delightful colonial mansion stands like a sentinel watching over thelr interests just across the cove.
 When Governor Gregory died on De- cember Is the business he had estab- lished was incorporated, with the family as it's officers. Albert Winson Gregory, who Is not yet of age, relinquished his course at Browns University to assume the position of superintendent. The house on Broadway, which has been the family residence during the student life of the son and the daughter, Mary Lou ise. just graduated from Pembroke Hall the women's annex of the university was given up Mrs. Gregory went back to the Wickford home, recently remod- eled under her direction as a country seat and gave herself to the serious task she had undertaken. Both she and her daughter announce their intention of adopting some profession.
 Throughout the Governors life, while she aided him in every political ambition, Mrs. Gregory was essentially home maker and lover. She had little taste for the glare of publicity and narrowed her social duties down as much as her position would permit. Wealth was never her aspiration. Sufficient for her needs and Wickford's is, in brief, her creed Her children share her views. St. Pauls. the church from which the Governor was buried. benefited by his will to the extent of $1000 His son and daughter receive s5OOO each, and the remainder of the property goes to Mrs. Gregory.
