SIOUX CITY

Col. Fred L. Eaton, for several
years cashier of the First National
Bank of this city, is spending few
days in town.
Mr.. Eaton went to Sioux City after
the financial crash of 1898 to take the
office of general manager of liqui-
dating company, entitled the Credits
Communication Company, organized by
the creditor banks of the business asso-
Citations of the city which went TO the
wall in the disturbances of 1898
Some twenty States were represented
III the organization of which Mr.
Eaton took charge. The creditors be-
lieved they would lose less by taking
the property of their debtors and
managing the defaulting interests than
by the drastic methods of liquidation
in bankruptcy-wh which would result
practically in total i loss. The result
has proved the wisdom of this course.
The Credits Communication Company
managed the affairs of the concerns
which had failed with signal success
and rescued from the wrecks much
that would otherwise have been a
dead loss
Mr.. Eaton was subsequently made
general manager of the Sioux City
stock yards, one of the interests which
went down in the disasters of 1898,
but which was not included in the
liquidating company organized by the
other interestes. He has been success
full, also, in this department of a
somewhat unique business trust a
few years ago it was proposeds to es'
tablish bank at the stock yards With
great effort, after some nine months
labor, the capital of 800, 900 was sub
scribed. Today the stock is worth
double its par value.
Sioux City has emerged from the
wreckage of 1898 and ism now strong
| financially, more prosperous and larg'
err in population than at the highest
period of its fictitious prosperity. Its
banks and business institutions are
all solvent, its business houses all
occupied, some 200 new dwelling:
were built the past year, the city has
been put in good order and is now
classed, in respect of municipal con.
ditions and institutions with the
thrifty cities of the growing West

PETTY PLUMBER.

The Office of the United States
Clothes Pin Company was broken into
on Friday evening but the burglar got
little for his trouble. Manager Booth is
confident that only one was concerned
in the affair, that he had once been an
employee and had a knowledge of the
Interior of the shops. The person APP
parently entered the shops before clos
ing hours and slowed himself away,
afterward selecting just such chisel
that would most easily aid him in
breaking open the Office door which
was doubly locked.
The cash register contained only
thirty two cents, no large sums being
kept in the office. The front of the
register was smashed but only seven
teen cents We're taken, the other fifteen
being found on the floor beneath the
register.
Mr. Booth makes it the last duty of
the day to examine the doors and win
dows of the place to see that they are
properly secured. The door through
which the thief escaped was left open
so it seems certain that the intruder
was on the inside.
Mr. Booth is accommodating evidence
in the affair and arrests may follow.

Camnlete Treatment for HumOurS, ST.
A SHORT SKETCH

The Evangelical church society of
this city has begun the erection OF its
new church edifice on Mortified
street and expects to have the same
completed and ready for occupancy in
few months.
AS but few people, comparative
ly, are acquainted with this denomin-
alton and its work, a word or two. re-
garding its history is not amiss at
this time.
The Evangelical Church is one hun
bred and two years old, having had its
origin in 1900. 1t began with the
nineteenth century, The origin of the
church was in this wise. One Jacob
Albright, a Methodist member, a
German, became concerned for the
salvation of his fellow Germans and
began to preach to them wherever he
could assemble them. AS lie preach
ed, there were converts, whom he or
ganized into classes, and after time
he organized his converts into a
church. He might have taken his
converts into the Methodist church,
had not that church about this time
decide not to preach the gospel in the
German language. That necessitated
his retaining the oversight of his con-
!
organized on the plan of Methodism
but using the German language ex-
clusively. Soon after this the Meth
| odist church took up the language and
at the present time they have several
conferences which use the German
language exclusively, But Albright
had his work organized and he con-
| cluded to go ahead, and the result
was the Evangelical Church. 1t was
called in German Die Evangelische
Gemeinschaft'' which translated is
The Evangelical Association. Soon
after the church was fully organized,
it began to work among the English
people. Now it has conferences in
! English and in German. Some con-
ferences are composed of those who
preach both languages, German in the
morning and English in the evening
Their work is chiefly among German
emigrants and their children and such
English speaking people as desire to
unite with them The church was
introduced into New England in 1898,
The New England conference was or
ganized in 1896. 1t has churches
in each of the New England States.
1t was introduced into Montpelier in
1894, and this year it has taken new
lease of life with the appointment OF
Rev. j. \ Ward as pastor. Not con-
tent with worshiping i'll small hall,
he has purchashed lot of land and is
about building new church on North
field street just beyond the iron
bridge. Doctrinally the Evangelical
church is identical with the Methodist.
In policy it is little more democrat
ic. 1t makes a speciality of preaching
the doctrine of entire sanctification,
which is peculiarly Methodist doc
trine. In all other respects the church
is orthodox. 1t differs in no respect
doctinally from the orthodox churches.

THEY TRY AGAIN.

Another attempt at holding mass
meeting of the Local Option League
of this city was made on Tuesday
evening, but, Notwithstanding the
city had been plastered with teasers
in the shape of dodgers the attendance
at the rooms in Union block was not
encouraging. 1t gave one the impress
sion that the bottom of the Clement
boom had dropped out
BY eight o'clock the number present
at the meeting on Monday evening
was increased by six, about twenty
having struggled into the rooms En-
thusiasm was below zero. g. A.
Smith, the president, took an invoice
of the attendance and finding that the
machine" was intact, even though
the gearing was little twisted, as
sumed stage smile of contentment
| and called the meeting to order
He announced that the business of
| the meeting was to obtain the sigma
lures of the believers to the certificate
of nomination of Mahomet Clement
for Governor, and that Notary Public
f. A. Bailey would see that the work
was done according to law.
! There was no mad rush made for the
signing stand but after little prod
ding, signatures to the Aguinaldo de-
claration of independence began to &C
cumulate. Then came a lull, but
the members of the machine" were
not dismayod, as there was a meeting
of the Central Labor Union and a
Democratic caucus in session on the
same floor.
The Representatives of Clements
visited each of these camps and upor
their return announced that there
were at least thirty detained there
who were possessed with a burning
desire to sign the Clement petition.
The Democratic caucus finally broke
up and few drifted in to practice
handwriting, but they brought tn
direful news that the matter of fu
sion on the county ticket was not evel
mentioned. This was disheartening
1t had been planned by the Clemen
men to hold a sort of county conven
ton in these same rooms today, sim
ultaneously with the Democratic con
vention, for the purpose Of fuse, bu
the appearance of things after the eau
Gus was that the Clement blunderbus
had again flashed in the pan.

CIRCUS DAY IN MONTPELIER.

The Walter L. Main circus came,
but it arrived late owing to an acct
dent at Essex Junction. Many Mont
pelierites left their beds at about four
O'Clock Wednesday morning and made
their way through the fog and dew to
be present at the unloading of the hip
podrome. These people had tedious
wait for the circus did not arrive I'M
til about S 80 O'Clock owing to the de-
railment of two cars of a stock train
at Essex Junction. The circus was
brought from Cambridge, where it
showed on Tuesday, in three trains,
two of ten cars each, and one of five.
By the time the unloading began
there was large crowd on and about
the grounds. The usual number of
stands for the distribution of cooling
drinks, eatables and the like We're
ready for business along the borders
of the highway near the grounds.
The weather was of the old Ver-
mont circus day sort and the crowds
arriving on the steam and electric
cars sweltered good naturedly.
The crowd did not appear to be of
the same magnitude as those which
have been present on such occasions
in former years. Its safety was
guarded by the judicious distribution
of police officers about the streets and
circus grounds
The street parade was necessarily
delayed but was of the usual size and
gorgeousness. The delay in getting
up the tents, etc. naturally reduced
the earnings of the side shows as
they did not have the usual amount
of time in which to do business be-
fore the opening of the main show
