1--WE MY Sc ODd Annual Camp Meet
ing of Mississippi Valley Spir-
iIuaIIsIs' Association.
MT. PLEASANT PARK. CLINTON
Grounds and Buildings Renovated for
the Season-First Weeks
Program.

The 22nd annual camp meeting of
the Mississippi Valley Spiritualists'
association, which opens Sunday at
Clinton. Iowa, bids fair to be one of
the largest in the history of the assO-
citation From the date of its incor-
poration, Nov. y, 1882. when it was
known as the Iowa Conference of
SpfrituaIists." the association has
grown and prospered until today it
takes in all the states of the Missis-
sippi valley and in all probability its
influence will extend over every state
in the union ere many years have pass
ed.
The beautiful grounds on the out
skirts of Clinton are owned by the as
sociatiOn and the thousands of Wis
itors who attend the annual camp
meetings of this association enable
the management to secure the best
talent on the spiritual platform.
Mount Pleasant park affords one of
the most delightful outing sites in this
part of the country, especially at this
season of the year It's high location
gives one Il magnificent view of the
surrounding country. Two deep wells
supply an abundance of the best water.
while the city wateTworks furnish the
water for general purposes.
Grounds Illuminated.
In the evening the grounds are
brilliantly lighted with incandescent
lamps. while during the warm sum
mer days the cool shade furnished by
the grand old oaks. intersperscd with
numerous cosy cottages, many of
which are being rcpainted for the
present season, all tend to make the
lark an attractive summer resort.
About twenty-five tents are already
up and more sites are being arranged
for every day. Every building on the
ground belonging TO the association
has been reprinted and remodeled.
The hotel and annex present a very
pleasing sight with their new coats
of paint, while within they have been
refurnished in first class style.
The roads have been filled in and
sidewalks repaired so that everything
will present good appearance at
the opening next Sunday. This year
the dining hall will be conducted by
the association.

Prevention of Consumption.

In the prevention OF consumption the
circular especially points out the fact
that the splitting of consumptives is the
chief source of infection. and il urges
strongly that healthful persons should
not spit in public places or on floors
and that they should not permit others
to do so. other important advice in
the matter of prevention is; Don't
wear skirts which sweep the infection
of consumption from the sidewalks in
TO your homes. Don't put in your
mouth things that are promiscuously
handled by others. Don't fail TO wash
your hands before you eat Don't
drink from a glass. cup or vessel used
by others unless it is carefully washed.

Iowa City. July 21.--A legal opinion
has just been rendered that is of in
terest to cities and towns of the state
inasmuch as it affects the finances OF
the various municipalities. 1t has long
been an open question in Iowa whether
or not cities and towns could benefit
by receiving interest on municipal
funds placed on deposit in local banks.
1t has been maintained in some quar-
tiers that bids should be received by
the city councils from the local banks
asking for the best rate that would
be paid on city funds and thus yield
the city an income in addition to the
usual means of revenue from taxation,
etc Leading talent in the state to
whom the question has been submitted
with n view to making an exhaustive
review of the question, has decided
that the city has no right to any In
terest that may accrue by reason of
the deposit Of the municipal funds in
any bank. 1t is held that such an ar
rangement would place the city and the
bank in the relation Of debtor and
creditor, or as loaner and borrower.
which Is expressly prohibited by the
statute. 1t is cited that while state
and county repositories are provided
for by law, no such provision is found
SO far as municipalities are concerned.

DESERTED; GOES INSANE.
Loss of Husbands Love Causes Salix
Woman's Mental Breakdown.

Sioux City, July 21.-Driven insane
because her husband had deserted her
and later secured divorce, Mrs. Will
ian Stevens, of Salix. Iowa. well known
in Sioux City is now in a sanitarium
in Providence, r. L., a mental and
physical wreck.
Mrs Stevens went to Salix about
two years ago, shortly after her hus-
band deserted her. The manner in
which Mr.. Stevens took leave OF her
was calculated to upset the nerves of
the most sturdy woman.
Mrs. Stevens left her home in
Springfield, Mass. to visit relatives In
the west The family relations had
been most pleasant, and Mrs. Stevens,
who was thoroughly devoted to the
man she had promised to cherish. did
not dream OF Inconsistency on his part.
I'm going to send your things with
YOU and then you need not come back, "
he said with a quizzical laugh as she
left his arms.
Much to the amazement OF the wom-
an, the remainder Of her effects fol-
lowed her on her western trip, with a
letter from her husband that the home
had been broken UP and she need not
return.
She sought him and endeavored to
nave a conference. but he refused to
recognize her. Strangely enough the
court granted him divorce. altho the
woman WAS in no way to blame for the
separation. The injustice done her so
prayed upon the woman's mind that
she became insane She is now in a
Massachusetts asylum.

City Administration Has Stopped u

Hampton, July 2l.-The city of
Hampton is at last free from blind
pigs" Beer selling here has been
done away with. There are about
twenty government licenses held by
different parties here and for the past
four or five years from three to ten
beer selling joints have been running
full blast Today none of the places
are selling wet goods at all. Be-
ing protected by government license,
the unlawful sellers were only liable to
action by the local authorities. During
the past six months they have been
repeatedly arrested and fined and each
time the city mayor has warned the
booze sellers that for their own good
they had better not be brought before
him again on a similar charge. The
owner OF one of the best building
blocks in the city closed the door on a
tenant whom he thought was selling
liquor. He preferred to not get any
rent rather than allow the tenants to
sell beer.
