pastorate of the First Congregational
church of this city. Several available
men were discussed at the business
meeting Tuesday night but Rev. Clyde

ordinary conversation. His wife is
also very well thought of at Eldora and
is valuable assistant to her husband
in his ministerial work.

Rockwell, May 14.-Rev. Youker, for
eleven years pastor of the Congrega-
tiona1 church at Rockwell, has rendered
his resignation as pastor and the same
has been favorably acted upon. 1t is
understood that the resignation comes
by request from the parishioners be-
cause of Rev. Youkers radical preach
ing against card playing and dancing.
The preacher has been a moral crusad-
er and has kept things lively in Rock
well for some time.
Regarding the affair the Times-Her-
aid published at Mason City in the
same county says editorially:
The Times Herald has learned in
directly that one of the popular preach
ers of this county has had to tender
his resignation as pastor of his church
simply BECAUSE he preached the truth
as he saw it. This certain preacher
made some forcible discourses against
dancing and card playing. He was
of his church was making it a dancing
and card playing church, and it was
noticed that the spiritual vitality OF the
church was dead or dying. The young
people who patronized the dance nall
and the card tables We're not at prayer
meeting and the Endeavor societies
and for the protection of the church he
raised his voice and talked plainly
along these lines. He believed the peo-
pie who did these things should step
out Of the church If for nothing more
than the influence they had. This is
not new question with churches. 1t
is met with in nearly every locality.
The preacher had q right to preach
against them and hold up the church.

faint of wrong. The men in our neigh

stroy the holy influences of good

The details of the holdup are sensa-
tional in the extreme, the murderer
after killing Meade quietly and cody
continued his demand that the rest OF
the occupants of the place give up their
money. He secured s25 and made his
escape.
1t was about 1880 o'clock this morn
ing when a stranger appeared at the
front door of the restaurant and step
ping inside ordered all hands up. All
complied with the exception of Arthur
Meade. Meade mistook the robber for
"a friend and started toward him. AS
he approached the robber Meade pushed
at the bandits mask, in an attempt to
jerk it off. Up to this time Meade hal
thought the mans warning joke, bu.
learned his mistake the next moment
when the robber turned the revolver
on him and fired. Meade walked to a
chair and expired without speaking u
word. The murderer then eooliy turned
his attention TO the others, who had
been too dazed to act intelligently, and
remarked:
Il hated to kill him, but had to do
it. Now come on with your money"
One of the walters then opened the
cash drawer and handed over the con-
tents The robber took the same, which
crowd backed out of the door. Before
the excited ones could move the man
was out of sight, and perhaps caught

him running q ong the train, but did not
