HON. w. I. NOLAN,
Member Minnesota Legislature, Who
Gives Humorous Lecture Tonight.

Those who heard him in the afternoon
on Dangers That Threaten Our Civil
ixation," were astOnislled and charmed
then by his vast array Of information
and the unhesitating eloquence with
which he presented his appeal to the
people. but even that was surpassed
by last nights effort. He fairly sweeps
his audience along with him by his In
tense earnestncss, and his voice Is un-
dor perfect control, yet underlying II
all is a quaint vein Of humor which
crops out occasionally. apparently I'M
hidden.
Mr.. Gearhart, according to his own
statement, comes not as a preacher
but as a layman, who looks at things
az they are. One clear note runs
through all Of his lectures. however,
that the province Of Christianity in So
ciety IL redemptive, one cannot deny
his spiritual nature any more than ne
can his body, and that times will never
be better until the people in every
class Of society realize that they live
daily in the presence of the Almighty,
and ara responsible to him. He says
that we want no distortions of Puri-
tantsm, but we do need its essential
spirit, that recognizes God as sover-
aign over all. Reverence, he said, is
the alphabet of notleness, and gave
illustrations Of the present-day lack of
1t. Mr.. Gearhart is optimistic, how
ever. and believes that the evils which
infiict our country today are but the
downward ebb before the rising tide of
idealisn. He said in the Footprints
Of the Centuries" that the steps of
progress never turn backward, and all
we glory in today was once a dream.
The twentieth century will take its
character from the men and women
who are to live in 1t. He spoke earn
estly upon the emancipation of child
hood and the mission Of woman in the
world. saying that in the last half of
the nineteenth century woman began a
work which is only a promise of what
she will do for the twentieth century.
He regretted the ridicule which that
unadlnired type of the so-called new
woman has brought upon her sisters,
and gave high praise to the woman
who, while not looking down upon the
home, believes that a useful princess
is more honored han a disappointed
queen. He said, Men, we are proud
Of the educated women in our country
today Educate women and you edu-
cate teachers of men,
Speaking Of the social sin as the
gloon1iest SHADOW on the social sun, he
said the age Of tears is over and the
age Of action has come. 1t is time to
draw near the Christly model, time to

Three Ask That Dam Be De-

and Destroyed
|rY ONE OF DEFENDANTS
Allen Land and Loan Company, coun-
Gilman John sies and Keen & osier
Bring Suits Seeking to Enjoin Main
tenance of Center Street Dam
Cases Identical in Character.

Three suits in the district court for
the August term were filed late Friday
afternoon, in which the plaintiffs seek
the destruction of the Center stree.
the maintenance of which the city is
vitality interested. because of it's water
supply. The Allen Land and Loan Co,
of Laurens, Councilman John Sieg, of
the Second ward and Keen & Ogier
are plaintiffs, and the cases are identi-
cal in character.
The defendants in the cases are the
Marshall Ice Company, the city of
Marshalltown and George w. LaPlant.
The plaintiffs first seek to enjoin the
defendant from in any way maintain-
ing the dam, which they term as a
facts to show cause why the nuisance
should be abated. The Iowa river, on
which the dam is located, is declared
non-navigable and nom meandered
stream, the bed of which is subject to
private ownership. The plaintiffs all
own land that borders on the bank Of
the river. The dam is said to be so
constructed that it maintains q head
of water of six or seven feet, causing
the flooding, during the spring
freshets, Of many hundreds Of acres of
land abutting the river and its tribu-
taries. The plaintiffs allege that the
whole course and character of the
river is changed from its natural flow
by the obstruction which they term as
the dam. Irreparable injury to the
plaintiffs is claimed by reason Of the
presence Of the dam. because of the
overlooking and the expense nece ssh
tated in the erection and maintenance
of bikes to protect the land that would
otherwise not need protection.
The plaintiffs pray that the
dam be decreed by the court
to be nuisance, and hat
the nuisance be abated and the liam
destroyed. The plaintiffs also ask that
the defendants be perpetually enjolned
from maintaining, or rebuilding, or re-
pairing the dam, or to interfere with
the plaintiffs or their agents in renlov-
ing the dam.

Waterloo, Aug. 1,-Waterloo and
Marshalltown put one of the fastest
games ever seen at Red Cedar park
yesterday afternoon, the home team
winning by a score Of l to 0. Both
Johnson and Clayton were effective,
but nine hits and two passes being
allowed by both twirlers, OF this
number Clayton escaped with only
three hits and one pass. He pitcher
steadier ball than johnson, and it was
toss up in fielding between the two
teams.
Williams started the game by taking
first when O'Brien fumbled his ground
er. Warner sent him down to Sec
ond with a hit to Clayton, and after
Middleton had flied out to Lohr he was
put out by a quick throw from Clayton
to O'Brien ON Corkhill's hit near third
base line.
Waterloo looked like winners in the
first. John hit Anklam and Lohr
smashed a pretty single. Painter
sacrificed, and both were safe at sec
ond and third. Shafer fouled out 10

Marshalltown was blanked in their
half of the second, but Waterloo tailed
tn. only run of the game in their half
Snour hit safely to left. O'Brien flew out
to Warner, and DIESEL forced Shour at
second. Clayton hit and DIESEL was
safe ON third, from where he scored
when Corkhill muffed Anklam's fly to
short center.
After that there were no more scores,
but there was an abundance Of snappy
fielding by both teams. Waterloo pull
ed off pretty double play in the ninth,
and Marshalltown doubled up on Wat
erloo In the seventh and eighth.
Good fielding and excellent pitching
kept both teams from getting within
sight of the plate until the ninth inn
Ing. Marshalltown looked exceedingly
dangerous in their half, and only cool
headed playing on the part Of the To-
Gals saved the game Williams

not attempt to sacrifice but planted one

hands were safe, Middleton having
passed out from Deisel to Painter in
the meantime. Brown smashed a hot
liner to Darby O'Brien. He scooped
it up and fired it to Shafer. who
touched the plate and passed the ball
back to O'Brien on third. Hoy lost
his head and could not figure out the
play. Two base runners were hug
ging second base under the impression
that it was fly ball. Before the UNI
pire could collect himself, Warner
started to vacate second, and O'Brien
tagged him as he approached third.
Hoy declared Williams and Warner
forced out at second and the game was
over. It mattered not which way the
umpire decided it. The ball had been
in the hands. of two players on bases
before the runners had touched the
bases, and the umpire's decision was
needed only to keep the score straight.

Fear Newspaper More Than .Iail.

Referring to the efforts that are
daily made by people to keep re-
ports of the misdoings of them
selves or friends out of the news
papers, an exchange remarks that
the Bible does not suppress news
stories of dishonest, dissolute and
licentious conduct even when they
affect the reputation of persons of
influence and high standing in the
community.
AS a matter Of fact it is an edi-
tors duty to publish the evil that
men do as we'll as the good. There
is no greater make weight to turn
the scale of social life toward the
side of decency and morality than
the fear on the part of the sinner.
not only that his sin will find him
out, but that the newspaper read
ers will find him out also. Often
ders against the prophecies and
decencies of life are always more
in dread Of getting into the news
papers than of getting into Jail.
Such stories as our critic have OBJ
jected to must be told for the bene-
fit of protection of society, but
they should be told in a way that
will tend to make vice appear the
odious and unsavory thing it is
rather than piquant and exhila-
rating experience. 1t is the man
ner in which such news story is
presented-or played" in the
newspaper vernacular-which de-
termines the yellowness or white
ness of the sheet.

STATE AID FOB ROADS.

. liz last 4GN NCCkS TIC
State Highway Commission has
written to County Commissioners
throughout the State, calling their
attention to the provisions of the
State Road Law regarding the
manner and time Of filing applica-
tions for state aid. 1t is very de
sirable to have the applications
well in hand, the necessary sur
veys made, and everything in readi-
ness so that construction can be
commenced early in the spring.
The utmost advantage can then
be taken Of the good weather for
road building.
The law requires that all appli-
cations shall be filed before March
Ist, in any year for aid during
that year The work will be
greatly facilitated by having these
applications in the hands of the
Highway Division at as early a
date as possible. It is also well
to make application for more than
one road, so that if it is subse-
quently found to be desirable the
County can make a later choice of
the road to be improved first.
It should be borne in mind that
the filing Of the application does
not necessarily bind the county to
go on with the work, and there is
no expense attached until after the
survey has been made. The sue
cessive steps Of surveying, adver-
Using tor bids, and executing a
contract for TIE proposed work are
all discretionary with the county
boards 1t viii be readily seen
that the more time is available for
making surveys, plans and est
mates, as we'll as for advertising
and securing advantageous bids,
the more effectively and economi-
cally can the work be done. 1t is
hoped therefore that our citizens
will show their progressiveness
and their interest in good roads
by filing their applications at the
earliest possible moment.
While thehighway improvement
during the year just closing has
been enlinently successful and sat
isfactory, all things considered,
still better and more satisfactory
results might have been secured
had actual construction begun at
an earlier date in 1905 than it did.
1t is desirable that much larger
amount of improvement be pushed
to completion during 1906, and to
this end applications for State Aid
should be filed in season for all
arrangements to be completed dur
ing the winter for beginning ac-
tual construction by May 1st, at
the latest Full instructions and
application blanks were enclosed
with Engineer Crosby's letter.

Tertullian. calls Malachi the

Diary of Christianity" The Jews
call him the seal because last of

for no other, the book would have
peculiar attractions. But it has
high intrinsic merits aside from
the mere accident of its position.
Delitzsch afirms the language to
be vigorous, pure, and beautiful;
and Kohler, the reasoning to be
concise and cogent. Jesus was
