Slleldahl, Ia, Nov. 28.-The town OF.
Sheldahl is much stirred up over q
threatened SANDER suit growing out OF
troubles which have arisen among the
membership Of the Swedish Methodist
church of this locality. Otto A. Rabee
threatens to bring suit against Mrs.
Kate Peterson, n of the Oldest mem.
bers of his congregation.
Mrs. Peterson is rs years Of age and
is n of the leading members of the
congregation. She and her pastor, who
is a young man about 80 years old, and
has a pretty young wife, have been on
excellent terms. The pastor claims that
his parishioner has been circulating
stories about him which are untrue and
damaging to his reputation.
The stories which the pastor claims
have been circulated against him by
complaint of the pastor seems to be
thai his reputation for paying his hon
est debts has been discounted. He
claims also that Mrs. Peterson has ac-
cused him Of wilfully Withholding from
the missionary fund of the church a,
SIS billSWhich h contributed toafhat
fund.
The pastor also claims that Mrs.
Peterson in an ~unguarded moment ac-
cused him publicly of having taken coal
from the basement of the church to use
in heating his own house. Pastor Re-
bee admits taking the coal from the
church supply, but says he replaced it.

TWo PARTIES LOSE OUT.
PopuIists and Socialists Will Drop
From Official Ballot.

Frorc Official Ballot.
Des Moi1es, Ia, Nov. 2S.-Two parties
lose MISREPRESENTATION on the Iowa Of
fctal8 ballot by reason of the smallness of
their vote at h recent election. The peo-
pies party is at the bottom OF the list,
with the socialists little higher. The pro-
hibitionists retain their official status by
reason of having made the better show
ing. @
The popullst vote on supreme judge, the
office Of highest rank to be ~canvassed by
the state executive council, was SIS. 8.
"A. Lowenberg of Ottumwa was the candi-
date. The socialist vote for McCrillis OF
gDes Moines, candidate for supreme judge
was 1851 The law requires that 2 per
cent. of the total vote must be polled by
any partysto entitle 1t to a place on the
official ballot. 1t therefore requires a
vote approximating 8,0O0,s which operates
to exclude both socialists and populists.
They will have to go on the ballot next
year by petition, the same as any organi.
cation that had never been given prioi
recognition.

TOUR OF INSPECTION.
Line in Arizona Some Rail- road Tolk

President E. P. Ripley, Second Vice. President Paul Morton, Third Vice. president J. W. Kendrick and other officials of the Santa Fe system visited the various points along their line in Arizona this week including Flagstaff.
 At Phoenix their visit caused con- siderable speculation as to the future action of the Santa Fe in that section. It is supposed, however, that one matter under consideration was the feasibility of construction branch of the Santa Fe system from Mesa City to Goldfeld, twenty miles long, cut ting of that much from the wagon haul necessary in taking freight to the site of the Tonto storage dam soon to be constructed. The visit also gives rise to further speculation respecting the plans of the Santa Fe to construct its main line from a point in New Mexico through the Gila and Salt river Valley and Phoenix, thence northwest to the Colorado river south of Needles. Should this be done as is generally believed, within the next two or three years, the railway would avoid the heavy grades on the present line running through Northern Ari- zOna.

 It is found after long years of study that the fish will do mucn better on a trip of this kind if they are not fed, so they get nothing to eat while in the car. The men in charge of the car state that the fish will under ordinary circumstances, live and do nicely from 20 to 9 days without food. The water, however, in the cans has to be changed occasionally.
 The fish will he placed in suitable cans and taken to Oak Creek tonight by Robert Ferguson and three assis- tants and will be placed in the stream at the Thomas ranch.

The curiosity of the natives or wild
countries as to everything belonging to
the traveller often leads TO amusing SIT
nations. Mr.. j. w. Wells tells in Three
Thousand Miles Through Brazil" OF his
visit to one settlement where the only
shopkeeper of the place proved very
inouisitive. He was frequent visitor
and would carefully examine the few
belongings of the traveller. His curios-
ity was finally punished in a very fun
ny manner.
On one of his visits. writes Mr.. Wells,
he found my bottle of spirits of ammo
mia on the table, and, seeing 1t was
something he had not hitherto inspect
ed. he naturally laid hold of 1t and
asked of me, What Is thiS?"
Only a medicine | replied, and

After Dinner OratOry.

The fake humorous speaker has an
easier career than even the fake elo-
ouent speaker. Yet at any given uln-
ner the orator who passes out mere elo-
cution to his hearers has success al
most as instant and splendid as his
Glowing brother. 1t IS amazing what
things people will applaud when they
have the courage of each others inepti'
tude. They will listen after dinner to
ANYTHING but reason. They prefer also
the old speaker to new ones; they ike
the familiar taps of humor, of elo-
ouence. If they have tasted the brew
before. they know what they are going
to get The note of their mood is toler-
ance. but tolerance of the accustomed,
the expected; not tolerance OF the
novel. the surprising. They wish to be
at rest. and what taxes their minds mo-
Tests their intellectual repOse. They do
not wish to climb any great heights to
reach the level of the orator.
