Pastor Goes to Minneapolis.
Rev. A. B. Marshall preached his fare
well sermon at the Central Presbyterian
church in this city today and next Sunday
he will begin work in Minneapolis. He
has been with the Central church here for
nine years and goes TO Minneapolis on the
same salary. He has long been regarded as
one OF the strongest men in the pastoral
I work here and the Central church is one OF
the largest in the city.
Boycott of n Railroad.
The business men Of Pelia, Marion county,
are engaged in a fight with the Rock Island
railroad for better facilities for handling
their business. Some time ago they or
ganized q company to build a short line
of railroad from PeIla to connect with the
Wabash and Burlington railroads about q
dozen miles away, and II is regarded as
probable that this line will be built. The
past week the largest shipper in the city,
q manufacturer, entered into a contract
TO have all his goods shipped in and out
over the Wabash and to have the freight
hauled across country from the Wabash
line. A siding will be put in by the Wa
bash at Howell for this especial purpose.
Pella has never had but one railroad,
though it is one OF the oldest towns Of the
state, and the people claim they have never
been fairly treated.
Iowa Militia and the Fair.
1t is stil a matter Of doubt whether the
governor OF Iowa will send TO st. Louis
for the fair dedication a regiment Of the
militia organization, as has been requested
by President Francis. TO attend the dedica-
ton April 30. The governor since his re-
turn has been consulted by Adjutant Gen
eral Byers in regard to the matter, but has
not sufficient at hand to decide
and the a~djutant general has just written
the st. Louis fair ofacials for further de-
tails of what they intend doing. II is
very much desired by both the governor
and the adjutant general that a full reg
iment be sent to st. Louis, but they fear
that the arrangements for their camping
have not been made as perfect as they
should be and the Iowa soldiers will not be
sent there to care for themselves.
The inspection OF guard companies in
Iowa will be made this week as follows:
