The Drainage Convention.

i y. WaJCleS returned SATURDAY
evsning from Ames where they
We're in attendance at the State
Drainage convention held at the
Agricultural College. They re-
port a very pleasant and profit
able meeting, although the re-
cent supreme court decision
acted as a kind of wet blanket
on the proceedings. 1t was the
general opinion, however, that
|if the court decision effected
the legality of the law they
would make an effort to get new
legislation from the present
general assembly.
Prof. w. II. Stevenson, in
charge of the soils department
of the college work, made a
very interesting and significant
report of his thorough investi-
cation of the present drainage
conditions in Iowa. Following
are some of his principal points.
A letter of inquiry was sent out
all over Iowa, The following
are some of the questions it con-
tanned: How many acres in
your farm? How many acres
partially unproductive the past
season on account of surplus
Water? How many acres wholly
unproductive? How many rods
of tile have you on your farm:
What sizes? Have you an ade-
quate outlet? Would drainage
ditch be of value to you and
your neighborhood? What pc,
cent of the land in your town
|ship do you think is now unpro-
ductive because of a lack OF
drainage?
About 1900 replies were re-
ceived, from a half dozen to DC
in erch county. Prof. Steven
son gave and explained a sum
mary of the reports from a few
counties and districts, and the
average for the state as follows
The average size Of farm re.
ported for the whole state is
249.l acres.

MacAllister's Sern,sn.

| AoOA iUiiA ~ oilsS So1S vi ldIl
church was filled to overflow
ing, seats We're placed in aisles,
and the Sabbath school room
was opened to accommodate the
large audience that assembled
to hear the sermon given by
the pastor, Rev. j. MacAllister,
upon "The Proofs of the
Authenticity of the Bible"
This sermon was delivered the
previous Sabbath evening and
was repeated by special request.
For more than an hour the
speaker held the large audience
at the highest pitch of interest,
as i'm a clear, forcible and in
tensely interesting manner he
presented an accumulation of
lndlsputable external and in
ternal evidences supported by
circunastantlal and undo
Isigned condolences. What
ever feature was given was
presented in such a logical,
lucid manner. that it was equal
lily interesting and convincing
to the student who had often
reviewed the ground, and to
the one who heard the array of
facts for the first time.
Reviewing proofs of Old
Testament scriptures, MIR. Mac
| Allister called attention to the
| fact of the observance OF the
Passover among the Jews to
the present day as a living
proof of the truth of the his
tory recorded by Moses, just as
the Fourth Of July is evidence
of our Independence and the
feast of Pu.im is evidence of
the Babylonish bondage and the
influence the Jew gained i'm the
land of his captivity. While the
Old Testament was largely his
torical its prophetical parts
We're in their fulfillment one
great proof of its authenticity.
The nations and people of
whom it had prophesied had
fulfilled these prophesies and
then faded away, but the Bible
still stood unscathed, loved and
reverenced by more today than
ever before. Even the gates of
hell have not prevailed against
it. The manuscripts saved in
synagogues and monasteries
had at the proper time found
translators whose copies could
be traced from century to cen
; fury. In speaking of the New
Testament and it's wonderful
story Mr.. MacAllister said that
a life such as that of Christ
had never been conceived
either by poet or novelist, but
when he appeared, lived and
died, the facts were of such
magnitude that they had to
find historians.
1t is true that the origina
: manuscripts have not come
down to us because they were
written upon material too frag
lie to bear the wear of years
but the copying of these were
i we'll authenticated and even to
> day the world owns three manu-
Iscripts of the earlier centuries
: The Sinaitic, found in the Cor
: vent of st. Catherine on Mt
) Sinai, now in the library at st
Petersburg, the Alexandrine
i found in the British Museum
!, and one is carefully guarded il
the Vatican.
The speaker, by use of black
board, gave an object lessor
how the Old and New Testa
ment text was carried without
a break from the first centurie
to the present day, showing tn.
links from the writings Of tn,
Apostolic Fathers to jerome

Escaped From Hospital.
Theodore Anderson, the
young man of Magnolia, who
was taken to st. Joseph hospital
lat Council Bluffs last week to
be operated on for a fracture of
the skull caused by a fall while
chopping, wood, escaped from
the hospital yesterday shortly
after the dinner hour and no
trace of him could be found in
Omaha. His uncle Theodore
Myers, of this city was in
Omaha having gone down
yesterday afternoon to see how
the young man was getting
along and he arrived at the
hospital a short time after his
nephew had so mysteriously
disappeared. He consulted with
the physicians in charge and
they said they had not operated
upon him and that it was a very
peculiar case. They found a
small crack i'm the skull at the
base of the brain but did not
think an operation would help
him. The young mans reason
is dethroned and in escaping
from the hospital he no doubt
was making an effort to return
home. Mr.. Myers came back
and this morning received a
message stating that in the
search for the young man he
had been located at Glenwood,
which is thirty miles from Oma-
ha. How he got there is a
mystery and the only theory is
that he walked the entire dis
lance. Mr.. Myers went to
Council Bluffs this afternoon
and the young man will be
brought there from Gle nwood
and taken to st. Demands
hospital. If nothing can be
done to restore his reason it is
a very sad case.
