Lacey, of Oskaloosa, representative
from the Sixth district, addressed the
veterans in the chapel. The room was
completely filed, and was not half
large enough to provide accommoda-

him. The lower halls of the main
building were used to as good advan-
tage as possible, but even then many
were disappointed.

were to have been in charge of Frank

the exception that detail was sent
to place flowers on each grave. The

had played number of patriotic airs.

Comrades and Fellow Citizens:
Peace is the offspring of power, and an
army is the embodiment of strength. 1t
is the strongest argument ever invoked
in human controversy, and its logic ad-
mits of no answer.
In 1861 peaceful debate was ex-
hausted and there was nothing left but
to submit to the dissolution OF the
union, the overthrow of the great re-
public. or to accept the gage OF bat
tie. It was dreadful alternative, but
1t was better for both sides of the con-
troversy that the men OF 1861 should
have fought this question out as they
did.
1--WE were 30,o00.000 of people then:
we are S0,OO0,00O now. The stability OF
orr government was then in doubt. 1t
is now assured.
I'VE meet today to again recall the
old. old story of the battl, for the union
1t is an old story, and yet ever new
Forty-two years have passed since the
contest began. Thirty eight years have
passed since 1t ended. Compressed
within these four years was enough OF
history to supply the world for many
a generation.

There are barren and sterile places IN

tin,1al harvest of heroism and endeaVor.
Now that it is over, neither side of the
controversy would have the verdict
changed. Mutual respect is demanded
of the combatants, and that respect is
accorded. But we may search IN vain
for any man who participated in that
struggle OH the other side who Woulo
now divide the union ii he could, or
again restore the institution of slavery,
which was the exciting cause OF all
the woes of those gloomy years.
LET us revive the memory of those
wears, but recall nothing Of thel bit

sung in the camp and by the tlreside,
and it touched the profcundest depths
of feeling.
"To the new generation that has been
born and grown to maturity and that
has planted the new homes of today, II
is difficult to picture those times so that
they may be fully understood.
ITO the old men who are before NE
and who marched away to the south
land in 1861 to 1855. the memory Is one
that will not become dim. 1t Is burned
into their memories by hardship, trial
and suffering. TO there 1 may essay
the role of Ezekiel, who nrophesied and
caused the dry bones of a dead army to
again stand upon their feet and be-
come clothed again with flesh and
blood. All these old comrades memo
ries will bring back that army Of young
men as they marched and as they
fought in those tventful years.

Indebtedness existed, and the member
ship was small and scattered. The
members united with their pastor in
the work of building up the church.
The audiences increased in size, and
additions We're received into the church.
Many having no church affiliations at
tended the services. The property was
extensively improved. all modern con-
veniences were introduced. and beau
tiful park, with flowers and trees was
added. The Indebtedness hanging over
the property was almost entirely wiped
out, and arrangements made for caring
for the balance.
Rev. Dempster remained in HicksHille
eighteen months after which he went
to Europe for several months. He re-
signed his charge to take UP his post
graduate work in Chicago. 1t was while
in Chicago that he was asked by Rev.
Mcfarland, Of Chicago, to supply the
pulpit in Marshalltown for Sunday,
when he had promised to be present,
but found 1t impossible to keep his
engagement. Rev. Dempster was in no
wise candidate, but he pleased his
congrega ton, and a call was shortly
afterwards rendered him. Rev. Demp-
ster is 80 years of age and. unmarried.

LOCAL COMMENT.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

They can hardly be properly called
spring showers.
The annual fish stories. Of huge Mis-
sissippi cats being caught impaled on
wire fences, are due.
At this time last year it was con-
sdered by the travelling public that by
another year the Northwestern railroad
would have raised it's platform at the
union station sufficiently to escape the
periodical Overlooking that grew to be
almost a weekly occurrence during the
1902 wet spell. Such, however, is not
the case, and it appears as tho the
experiences of last year We're again to
be repeated
Marshalltown witnessed a pretty oc-
currence this week in the graduation
of her high schools class. An average
number thirty, was maintained for the
class of 'O3, and among it's number
were eight boys, higher average than
usual. For the first time in the history
of the school, which has held twenty
eight commandments, colored boy
has graduated, and Marshalltown is
proud of him. The fact that the lad,
is working against the hardships of edu-
eating alone without assistance, is
one worthy oflpraise from all good peo-
pie. Laurence Jones Will undoubtedly
be heard from in the future, when the
opportunity presents itself, and he is
able to take advantage OF conditions
