S U N D AY TR AIMS,
BEGINNING TOMORROW SERVICE
ON ROCK ISLAND WILL BE
GREATLY IMPROVED.

Beginning last Sunday passenger
trains Nos 203 and 204 on the Rock
Island will run daily instead Of six
days week as at present. Beginning
Monday passenger trains Nos EOS and
and 206 will run from Keokuk to Des
Moines instead of between Eldon and
Des Moines.
Train No 2Os leaves this city for
Des Moines at o'clock a. m. and
Train No. 2O4 leaves for Eldon at 1910
p. m. Both of these trains will be run
every day in the week and it is be-
liev that the Sunday service will be a
great accommodation to the patrons Of
the road. Heretofore there has been,
no Sunday service between Eldon and
Ottumwa, and Ottumwa, Oskaloosa
and Des Moines on the Rock Island.
Train No. 205 leaves Ottumwa for
Des Moines at p. m. and
Train No. 206 leaves this city for Ell
don at $50 a. M These trains will
continue to be run every day except
Sunday, but will run through to Keo-
kuk. This will give two trains daily
each way between Keokuk and Des
Moines on the Rock Island and will
greatly improve the service.

Co.'S weekly review of trade says to-
day:
Seasonable merchandise goes into
consumption more freely than usual
retail trade exceeding expectations at
many points, and preparation for fall
and winter business is on a liberal
scale, except in a few agricultural COM
lnunities, where thel is disposition
to await definite assurances regarding
the crops. The official report was more
encouraging as to grain and later dis
patches from the principal farming
ccnters indicate that good results are
being attained despite some excess OF
moisture.
Manufacturing reports are irregular.
the cotton industry being unsettled by
the rise of raw material; wooden mills;
lave a similar but less sensational OBJ
stacle; footwear shops are shipping
less freely. but are maintaining the
higher level of prices, and current dull
ness in pig iron does not weaken con-
fidence in an early resumption of liber :
al purchases.
Railway earnines for the first week
of July exceeded last years by So per
cent and foreign commerce at this
, port for the last week showed gains OF
S1.520.462 in imports and s5S0,449 ir

SPIRIT LAKE is HIGH.
Old Settlers Say Water Has Never
Been Known to Rise SO High.

Spirit Lake, July 15.-All old set
tiers in this part of the state agree
that Spirit Lake has nver been SO
high before, as it is at the present
time. G. A. Yarns says it is higher
by eighteen inches than it has been
for forty-nine years. 1t is reported
by those who have been around it that
it is difficult to find a beach yard
wide anywhere. Where rods of sand
formerly rested the water has covered
the sand and is eating into the grass
farther back from the former shore
line. Mr. Yarns also reports that one
of his farms of $50 acres is covered by
water at least one-third. The Okobo
jis are booming but not in the surpris
ing way as Spirit Lake. For more
than five years campers and old set
tiers around this place predicted that
the lake as we'll as all lakes of Iowa
were slowly drying up and that the
property abou. the lake would soon be
useless for summer purposes. Some
satisfied that the theory was correct
fairly gave away their houses and
looked for the desert to appear. The
theory of the scientist is now consid
cred to be correct when he recently
said that these lakes of the chain Of
the northern Iowa are merely basins
formed to take off the surplus supply
of water from the water shed of the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers anG
when this surplus is over thai
part of the country the lakes are
bound to be full and when the season
is dry the level of the lakes will fall
perceptibly.

YOUNG GIRLS PAVE HIS WAY.
Come to London to Prepare That Sin

London, July 15.-Evan Roberts, the
Welsh revivalist. has announced his
intention of coming to London in the
autumn The actual date has not yet
been fixed, but he will probably be
here some time in September.
Meanwhile three little Welsh girls,
still in their teens, Miss Maggie Da-
vies, Miss Mary Davies and Miss Annie
Jones. are here. They announce that
they have come to pave the way for
him. They were closely associated
with Roberts in the recent eruption of
religious fervor in Wales. Maggie was
the sweet singer of the Welsh revival,
Mary was one of his first converts and
all three are his chosen apostles and
friends. The three little maids wear
black picture hats and bright summer
blouses, and, incredible though it may
seem, the girls have gained strange
power over the audiences in south and
east London, which they have been
asked to address by the Welsh clergy
men of London.
Similarly, as matter OF course,
they tell inquirers that they have come
| to save London and that for this they
have left home and friends Though
this is the first time any of the girls
have been away from home they do
not appear to wish to do any sightsee.
ing and a visit to the Torey-Alexander
mission is the only relaxation they will
permit themselves.
During their short stay in London
converts have poured in thick and fast
as result of the girls appeal. There
seems to be fire about the Welsh in
