WILL BUILD NEW CHURCH.
Friends Of the City Will Start Efforts
at Rally ON IhursdaY Nioht

at Rally on Thursday Night.
The Friends of the city have decided
to build new house of worship, and
on Thursday night will begin the work
of organization, preparatory to the
canvass for funds, at meeting to De
held ad their church, corner Of Main
and Third streets. Nothing short of
$4,000 will be put into the building,
which, with the salvage from the old
and the fact that the society already
owns it's lot, will provide a pretty, new
and modern church home. Whether the
new building will be erected on the pres
emit site or not has not as yet been de-
termined. 1t may be, but if the land
could be sold to advantage, and an
other site where property is less valu-
able purchased. the new church may
be built some other place, either on
Church or State.
In the neighborhood of 100 invita-
lions to friends of the congregation
have been issued for the mass meeting
and rally Thursday evening. At that
time permanent organization will be
formed, composed of president, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the building COM
mittee. An advisory committee will
also be chosen, as well as a commit
tee that will have charge of soliciting
the funds.
In connection with the rally Thurs
day night a short program Of musical
numbers will be given, beginning at
1880. Short addresses will be made by
the pastor, Rev. Robert L. Knight, Rev.

REV. LONDAHL RESIGNS
Pastor Of tho Norwegian Lutheran
Church Accepts Call to Church Of
st. James, Minn.-WilI Leave the
City Late in September.

Rev. M. Londahl, for three and one
half years pastor of the Norwegian
Lutheran church of this city, and for
almost as long having had charge Of
the Dunbar, McCallsburg and Roland
churches Of the same denomination,
has accepted call from the Norweg-
ian Lutheran church Of st. James,
MINI. He will preach his farewell
sermon here September "a, and will
leave for st. James soon afterward.
The st. James church is much
larger church, and is the principal
church of the city, which is largely
populated with Scandinavians. The
congregation numbers between 400 and
500. and has new church which cost
$4,000. The call came as an honor to
Rev. Londahl, in that it was unsolicit-
ed Since taking the local church Rev.
Londahl has proved of great benefit to
it, and has served to upbuild and
strengthen it. The committee in charge
of the selection of his successor is now
investigating, but has not decided on
who will succeed him.

Once Destroy the Dandruff Germ, and

Any one can have nice hair II he or

brittle, dry hair, falling hair and bald

to kill the germ that causes it, and
that is just what Newbro's Herpiclde
does. Cornelius Grew, Colfax, Wash,
says:
One bottle of Newbros Herpicide
completely cured me of dandruff, which
was very thick; and it has stopped my
hair from falling out" 1t makes hair

oskALoosA WILL DROP OUT.
Will Not Remain In the Iowa State
LEAGUE After This Season,

Oskaloosa, according to a story sent
out from that city, will not be repre-
scented in the Iowa State League next
year, and will give up it's franchise at
the end of the present season. The
constant drain of the heavy expense
necessary to keep the team going has
proved too much of burden for the
business men and others who have put
up the money, and the venture has
been declared failure. Such is said
to be the decision reached at recent
meeting of the base ball association
held there. Instead OF attempting to
retain its membership. in the Iowa
league, Oskaloosa will endeavor to
form a league of smaller towns near to
it, such as Muchakinock, Excelsior
Switch, Buxton, Evans, Prairie City.
and Monroe. and a meeting for the pur.
pose of discussing plans has been call
ed for Oskaloosa tomorrow evening.
