DO FRIENDS COME BACK?
Rev. Engstrom Discusses an oId-Time
Question.

Rev. Engstrom, of the First Presby-
terrain church, preached the second of
series of special sermons last even
ing to very large congregation that
filed the auditorium of the church in
every part. The subject of the even
ing was, do Our Friends, After
Death, Come Back to Earth and Min.
lister Unto Us?"
The sermon was not upon any one
text Of Scripture but was a compre-
hensive analysis Of statements made
in the Scriptures. The positive state
ments made during the discourse
were supported by numerous citations
and the arguments deVolved were full
ly worked out and quite convincing
in their force.
The power of modern spiritualism
was discussed. at appeals to us, The
said, lin the hour of greatest grief,
when we are weakest and when sell
fishness itself is almost virtue" A
passage from st. Luke was read tell
ing of the request made to have some
departed spirit return and tell of the
place of torment. "The request was
not granted. 1t was useless. If the
people would not believe Moses and
the prophets, they would not believe
returning spirits, but if spirits HAD
been returning it is not possible that
the request would have been refused.
The Heavenly home is spoken Of as
an eternal home. This means that
the spirit stays in the home and does
not travel back and forth To leave
the material body is to be with God
unto eternity"
"Our loved ones are with us always
in heart and memory, and in this
sense they minister to us more potent
ly than in life, directing and infiuenc-
ing our lives for their sakes. Some
graves are more powerful than some
pulpits. Our departed are more con-
stantly with us in departing than
when on earth, and minister unto us
in that way. 1t is not necessary, it is
not possible that they return to
EARTH" and thus the speaker closed.
The sermons are attracting large
congregations and the closest of at
tention is being accorded the minis
ter. He has in several instances re-
ceived personal testimonials Of the
helpfulness of the sermons.

DIES MONIES WON.
Capital City Park CLUB Too Heavy for
Oskaloosa High School.
Special to Herald.

Special to Herald. g.
Des Moines, Oct. 12.-Capital Park
high school defeated Oskaloosa high
school Saturday afternoon at the ball
park by score of Is to 0. For the
first twenty minutes the game was
one of the most exciting Of the sea-
son, neither team scoring, and both
seeming about evenly matched. The
first half ended 60.
Oskaloosa has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best high school elev-
ems in the state, and their team work
was excellent, but Capital Park
showed the effects of it's practice with
Drake, and in the second half had
very little trouble in breaking through
Oskaloosa's line for 10 and Is yards
at time.
Prather of Capital Park was the
star He made the three touchdowns
and several times hurdled the line for
good gains. Gates Of Capital Park
got away from Oskaloosa around the
right end, and ran beautiful forty
yards before he was finally downed.
Hiatt made a good showing, and
Chalmers bucked the line regularly
for three and five yards. c. Reed,
Oskaloosa's fullback, filled his posi-
ton creditably, as did also Swingle
and Martin. In the second half Mar,
tin was laid out and was obliged to
retire from the game. His place was
filled by Targgart.

MAY DIVIDE DIOCESE.
Des Moines Likely to Be Made Cath
Ollie See City.

A cablegram from Rome announces
that the congregation of the propa
ganda at its November meeting will
erect portion of the see of Dubuque
into separate bishopric. This is
taken to mean that there will be an
other diocese of the Catholic church
in this state. The see of Dubuque in
cludes the diocese of Sioux City. Day-
export, Omaha, Lincoln and Cheyenne.
1t is most unlikely that any of the
western dioceses are to be divided
and the supposition is that the Dav-
export diocese is to be divided. In
that event Des Moines will undoubt-
edly be made see city.

MUST RAISE GRADE.
New Burlington Line Will Be Put
Above Flood Line.

Knoxville, Oct. 1z.-Robert An
drews, a member of the @. construc
ton force, who has recently been
working on the new "cut-off" branch
between Tracy and Oskaloosa, was
home over Sunday. In an interview
with a reporter Monday morning, Mr.
Andrews said that the new road
would probably not be opened fol
traffic before Nov. list. About IL
miles of the road bed b3rween Tracy
and the river and 600 feet on the east
side of the bridge must be raised
three feet before the work will be re
ceived by the company. That amount
of extra fill is required to put the
road safely above the flood lines Of
1902-03.

Rumors of New Time Card.

Rumors of a new time card on the
Iowa Central are afioat among the
trainmen. There are no signs of any
changes at headquarters and it is not
probable that any will be made until
after the freezing of the ground
makes possible faster travel over the
soft places. The road workers are
hoping for at least fifty more good
working days.
