chosen as the place OF meeting, for
DEBORAH has for more than forty
years been. so to speak, the capital
OF the synod. Here Is It's college and

Washington, June g. President
Roosevelt returned to Washington
Friday night from his memorab bic trip
of over two months throughout the
west. He was given q hearty recep-
ton by the people of the capital, who
lined the sidewalks as his carriage, es-
corted by the battalion of high school
cadets, was driven to the white house.
The president cordially responded to
the greetings given him and repeated-
~ stood up in his carriage and waved
his hat and bowed his acknowledg-
ments. He looked the picture OF
health.
Promptly at seven o'clock the train
bearing the president and his party
rolled into the station. There was a
shout of welcome home as Mr.. Roose-
welt made his appearance on the plat
form, and 1t continued while the presi-
dent was in or about the station. The
president spent a very few minutes in
exchanging greetings with the assem-
bled officials. He talked longer with
Postmaster General Payne than any
of the others, the latter throwing his
arms about the president and appa.
rently whispering to him.
The president, accompanied by Capt
Cowles in full uniform, then entered a
carriage and with his party, which, be-
sides the officials at the station, in
Guided Attorney General Knox, Secre-
tary Wilson and Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana, were escorted by battalion
of high school cadets along Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the white house
grounds. At the entrance to the white
house grounds the cadets halted and
the president and his party passed
them in review. The avenue was lined
with people and the applause which
greeted the president on every hand
was outspoken and cordial.

whether he passed or not will not be

was returned to him. Mr.. Howard at
first contemplated turning the money
over to the fund for food sufferers in
Des Moines, but the board thought
best to merely give 1t back to the mis-.
guided fellow. He had undoubtedly
been misguided as to the character
of Iowa officials. Several weeks ago
an applicant wrote to the commission

EXPELLED FROM GERMANY.


Berlin, June 8. Hugh j. Cannon.
superintendent of the Mormon mis-
sions in Germany; his wife, his secre-
tary and his assistantsecretary We're
ordered by the police Saturday to
leave Prussian territory within three
weeks. Similar orders are about to
be served by the local authorities on
sc other missionaries in Prussia, un-
der the decision of the government to
expel them all. It is quite unusual to
serve the wives of Mormon missions
aries with separate notice. Mrs.
Cannon has only been here a month.
No explanation was given for the ac-
ton taken, except that the presence
of the Mormons was undesirable to the
police. Mr.. Cannon will move his
headquarters to Zurich, Switzerland.
He has engaged house there, near
the one which Calvin took when he
fed from France. From Zurich the
missionaries will occasionally visit the
Mormon communities in Prussia, who
have 1900 members, in groups of Is
to 20 each. The German pastors con-
tinue their services.
No protest has yet been made
against the expulsion Of the Mormons.
Elder Francis M. Lyman, Of Salt Lake
City, now in London, the European
superintendent of the Mormon mis-
sion, has been advised of the action
of the authorities here, and is watt
ing to see II Washington will take up
the cases of two or three Mormons
who were i'll treated by the con-
stabulary. Through these cases, it
is hoped, the Prussian government
may be led to reverse the expulsion
decree, and that several German states,
notably Saxony, Hesse and Wurtem-
burg, may also reconsider their de-
crees expelling Mormon missionaries.

Iowa Fruit pamaoed.

the rains in May are now apparent in
the reduced prospects for fruit crop
In Iowa. Apples promise ~ per cent
Of crop. pears IS, plums 20, cherries
%. peaches 30 and grapes SO. These
are much below the prospects May 1.
Much OF the fruit has fallen from the
trees because Of the cold and wet
weather. So far as small fruits are
concerned, such as currents and cher
nes, the outlook is better generally
than for the fruits first named. straw
berries are being ruined rapidly by be-
ing softened by rains.

sanern Family Poisoned.

Behind the attempted poisoning Of
the entire family Of Nicholas Sanen at
Sioux City there may have been plot
OF the most sensational nature. The
police are working upon theory
which. II correct. will expose collab-
grafton OF crime. The disappearance
OF Peter Sanen, Nicholas Sanen's
brother. April 1, simultaneously with
$1,000. is being looked into. Was the
same hatred toward the Nicholas
Banen family directed toward the
brother. and was he murdered?
