are drifting out into life of sin merely
because they have never answered the

Little children, do you not know that
you perhaps better than any one else
can lead your fathers and mothers and
brothers and sisters and uncles and
aunts and big men and big women to
Christ? Do you not realize, boys and
girls, that, as the Bible describes the
day of millennium as the time when
"the wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and a little child shall lead
them" the greatest gospel messengers
who ever lived are the little children
who are leading the grown up people
to the foot of the cross?
Boys ana girls, If you have a father
who never goes to church, what good
thing it would be IL you could bring
him! Suppose you should so home

you come to church? Why do not you

highly educated, having graduated from
both classical and musical colleges. She

acquisition to the society circles of this

BACHELORS IN DESPAIR.
Old Bachelors of Alice See Their Numbei
Fade With Jealous Rage.

The Bannister-Steuart wedding last
week seems to have awakened in the
minds of some of the Yankee and Alice
bachelors the need of greater protection
against the charms of the summer tourist
girl. Last Sunday mass meeting was
held at castle de Cow" the home of
Edd A. and George A. Reynolds, two
notorious bachelors, to divide the spoils
left as a consolation fee by Mr.. Steuart
to his abandoned and forsaken brethern
1t was a heart rendering tale that was
told of losses to the faithful within the
past two years. II was also claimed that
even John Vergon's heart was touched
last season by a tourist girl, and that
| J. F. Kaminky would stop work and
spend his time between St. Mary and
Silver lakes as soon as the tourists season
open. All had to acknowledge that the
honest bachelors needed more protection
during this summer, and especially dur
ing the tourist season. Much anxiety
was expressed for F. A. Lamont, as he
would constantly be placed in great dan
ger, as his mine is now showing great
ore and is situated on the banks of the
lake so every tourist girl could note that
fact while drawing the unprotected and
| innocent owner on to ruin. However,
in the case of Mr.. Steuart no sympathy
was expressed over his downfall, as it is
generally believed that he had oppor-
tunities by which he could have escaped.
Messrs. Preston and Greyhoffer was
appointed a committee of one, by them
selves, to draw up a set OF resolutions for
publication, which resulted as follows:
Wherefore be it now, that it have came to

The wedding took place in the Wesley
Methodist church, which had been
handsomely decorated for the occasion,
the effect produced being artistic and
pleasing. Palms and pink peaonies were
used, a screen being built around the
choir loft of greenery, making a nook
from which the voices of the bridal
chorus came out to the audience as from
a fairy garden. The church was crowd
ed with the society of Des Moiues and
the relations of the highly connected
bride and groom: immediately follow
ing the ceremony the wedding party and
assistants were informally entertained
by the brides mother at her beautiful
and spacious home, assisted by Miss
Juliet Steuart and Mr. Edward Steuart,
of Denver, brother and sister of the
groom, and Miss Phebe A. Secor, of
Peekskill, N. Y, an aunt of the bride.
The following musical programme was
rendered at the church before the cere-
mony:

just in front of the first pews and separ-
ated-walking to one side and facing
each other while Messrs. Krldler and

Mrs. Buck and Miss Bird Bannister, each
alone, and last the bride, Miss Alice

The County Attorney Not Daunted
by the Confidence of the
Defense.

Former. Captain of Police Charles r.
Hill, indicted on two counts for bribery,
will probably be tried Oct. II, before
Judge Pond. Altho no date has been set
in open court the defendants counsel has
announced that the case is ready at any
time, and the county attorney has so far
poenaed Lou Davis and other states wit
nesses against Hill to appear in court on
the date named.
Confidence seems to pervade the Hill
camp and it is freely predicted among
the accused mans friends that a con-
viction can never be secured. It is more
evident than ever that the defense, as
predicted some time ago in h r
n a l, will admit the paying Of money fol
protection to the Ames officials but will
deny that Captain Hill ever received any

Bearing of Jurors Points to Consider

Mystery surrounds the actions Of the
grand jury with regard to the council In

have as yet been returned, but the in

things and everyone connected in any way
with the investigation is kept on the qui

there are several nervous individuals
about town.
Secret conferences between Judge, G. M.

The strike of the flour mill employees is
beginning to make itself felt among other
laboring men, and the .coopers and bag
makers are among the first to feel the
shoe pinch.
The decreased output of the flour mills
has suddenly deprived the cooper shops
which supply them with barrels and the
bag manufacturers who supply them with
bags of some very valuable customers and
as a. result the cooper shops have either
closed down or; are running half time or
are facing the necessity of closing down
in the near future.
Five firms supply the Minneapolis flour
| mills with barrels, and mot a firm has
received a large order from the mills
since the strike was declared over week
ago. This is partly due to the fact that
most Of the mills were long on barrels
when the trouble with their employees ter
