Birthday Party

Saturday evening, January
28th, Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram
Moorehousc, living near Love-
land, entertained over thirty
of their friends, in honor Of
their daughter, Miss Belle, it
being her birthday. They plan
ned to surprise this young lady,
so when she arrived from Mo.
Valley she found the crowd as
sembled at her home.
The evening was pleasantly
spent and all seemed to feel
that they were there for a good
time. Formality was thrown
aside, and although part of the
company had never met before
a genial feeling of friendship
made the evening one to be re-
membered. Progressive finch
was played until about eleven
o'clock when the guests were in
vited to the dining room where
an elegant supper was served.
The music on the graphic
phone was enjoyed by all. The
company voted the Moorehouse
family royal entertainers. All
join in wishing Miss Belle
many happy birthdays, and
wish that each of her birth
days might be celebrated in a
similar way by the same COM
pany.

ingly asked one from his neighbors
Everybody was anxious he should go,
any everybody therefore testified to
his excellent reputation. No one was
more astonished at this result than
the man himself, and after looking at

Never Satisfied.

When | recall July and all
The heat it held in store
| grieve to find | was unkind
And at the weather swore.
For now, if | could feel the heat
That then seemed such a bore,
I'd think it was a perfect treat
And even cry for more.
And | suppose in next July
That | will puff and wheeze
And wish as | sit there and fry
That | could only freeze.
And thus it is or cold or hot
We're never satisfied,
For if we shiver like as not
We wish that we were fried.
So let US grumble every day
And find what fault we can,
For 'tis amusing anyway
To roast the weather man.

fifty were present and partook
of the good things to eat pre-
pared by Mrs. Hatcher and her
assistants.
The bride is the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln

DR.. Keohne's lectures should
be heard by all thinking persons
without reference to their re-
ligion, politics, color or previ-
Gus condition. 1t seems to me
It's the duty of all who dis
believe in the inspiration of the
scriptures to hear the magnifi-
cent and erudite argument that
this gifted speaker presents.
Devoid of all orthodox pre-
liminaries there is nothing
about the lecture that could
possibly be distastful to anyone
be he skeptic, Protestant or
Catholic. The Doctors word-pic-
ture of the Angelus and his rem
dition of Hamlet, soliloquy last
night, one alone was sufficient
to place him in the front ranks
of either oratory or the histori-
onic art. Yiddish.
1t would be a good thing for

behind the bars.

George West, of Cincinnati

George West, of Cincinnati
township, suffered a stroke of
paralysis some days since, and
DR.. ]. L. Tamisiea reports him
in a very serious condition at
the present time, with very lit
tie hope of his final recovery.
He is near 80 years old, and has
been been in bad health for sew
eral years. He was one Of the
first business men in this city,
having opened a store here in
1869. He and the late E. Nc
Bride used to conduct a store
on the corner of 5th and Erie
where the Hargens building now
stands and is occupied by Eli
oft & Harvy's drug store. When
the location of the C. & N. w.
road came to this county, he
sold the Company $4,000 real
estate for right Of way, &c.
His death will remove one of
the old time residents of this
vicinity.

caller today and paid for an

vance for the Times. Wish we

The Kcehne lecture.

RRG keeii!ie Lecture.
The lecture at the Pres by
terian church last night on "The
Tragedy of a Race, by DR..
Koehne was undoubtedly the
greatest lecture ever given in
this city, and perhaps the great
est one ever given in the state.
He took up the Jewish race and
showed it to be the greatest
race of people on earth. Other
nations have been born, became
great and powerful and died
from the face of the earth, but
the Jewish race is the same to-
day that it was when Abraham
and Elijah eommuned face to
face with the living God. They
have but one tenant in their
faltn and that is supreme faith
in the Jehova. They overcame
tho most terrible trials and
b.tterest servitude simply by
their faith in the living God.
The lecturer is the most elo-
quent man ever heard in this
city, and for two hours last night
he held a big audience spell
bound by his oratory. Never
before have the people of Mo.
Valley had the opportunity of
hearing so fine a lecture and it
is safe to say that from now on
the church will not be large
enough to hold all those who
will go to hear him. DR.. Koehne
lectures this evening on "The
Crucifixion', and you are re-
quested to be in your seat by
eight o'clock, as the lecture
will commence promptly at that
hour, and the lecturer stops un-
til you get seated if you come
in after that hour.
The thermometer marked II

good for double that tomorrow

Ed Boise is confined to his

Home in California.

had slipped down about 400

"A clergyman was very fond of par
ticular hot brand OF pickles, and find
ing great difficulty in procuring. the same
sort at hotels when travelling, always car
ried bottle with him, relates the Tatler.
One day when dining at a restaurant with
his pickles in front of him stranger sat
down at the same table and, with an Amer.
lean accent, presently asked the minister to
pass the pickles. The minister, who en-
joyed the joke, politely passed the bottle,
and in a few minutes had the satisfaction of
seeing the Yankee watering at the eyes and
gasping for breath,

LOUISIANA HOSPITALITY.
Strangers Were Treated Just the
Same as Members of the
Family.

A group of drummers were trading yarns
on the subject of hospitality, relates Lipp-
incott's Magazine, when one, a little Vir-
drawl, took up his parable thus:
II was down in Louisiana last month trav.
elm cross country with $. j. Cary (the
same being Stonewall Jackson c., at your
service), when we kinder got lostin mighty
lonesome sort o road just about dark. We
rode along right good piece after sundown,
and when we saw a light ahead / tell you
1t looked first rate. We drove up to the
light, findin' twas house, and when I
hollered like lost calf the man came out
and we asked him to take us in for the night.
He looked at us mighty hard, and then said:
Wal, reckon l kin stand it if you kim So
we unhitched, went in and found twas only
tworoom shanty and just swarmin' with
children. He had six, four to II years old,
and as there didn't seem to be but one bed,
me an Stoney was wonderin' what in thun-
der would become OF us.
They gave us supper, good hog and hom-
iny, the best they had, and then the old
woman put the two youngest kids to bed.
They went straight to sleep. Then she took
those out, laid them over in the corner, put
the next two to bed--and so on. After all
the children were asleep on the floor the
old folks went in the other room and told
us we could go to bed il we wanted to, and,
bein' powerful tired out we did

the woman frlenu gave the wife $780,

Mrs. Herron's friends assert that the
amount paid was only 100000.
Now, some money was paid Mrs
Heron or else it was not. Suppose
no money was paid her. Why has he
not denied the statement to save the
honor of the mother of his children?
If any sum of money was paid his
wife by this woman friend, then this
man sold himself, and whether for
Judas 30 pieces of silver or 100000
makes no difference.
Wife Made Desperate.
"The first supposition leaves him a
coward in not defending his babies
mother. The second leaves him a
monster, and his friends may take
their choice. If there is a community
in this land that represents New Eng
land Congregationalism, scholarship,
plain living and high Christian think
ing, it is the old town of Grinnell, Ia,
founded by the heroic Iowa band of
IA graduates of Yale college.
with one accord these professors,
editors, lawyers and business men and
women assert that Mrs. Heron is a
retiring woman, self-sacrificing, de-
voted to her babies during her hus-
bands long and repeated absences, a
woman who represents all the home
virtues of wife AID mother Driven
to desperation, if she accepted money
she accepted it for her helpless chill
dren and not for herself
"And she declares that when she
finally consented she did it upon the
ground that Heron and Miss Rand
should go before the judge and when
the judge divorced the man from the
wife he should marry Heron to the
one who had superseded Mrs. Heron
in his affection.
Now, when every possible excuse,
based upon incompatibility, has been
urged, 1t remains true that, at what
ever sacrifice and renunciation, the
man should have been true to the four
children he has brought into the world.
These babies are weak, physically,
and Heron owed his strength to
them; they are ignorant and he owed
his wisdom to them; they are poor,
and the father owed his earnings and
the right to good name to them.
"One day this man announces to the
mother of these children that he has
ceased to love her and loved another
woman, and that money enough at five
per cent. would be provided for her
to rear these children for him. She
reluctantly asks for the divorce, for
desertion, which he does not contest.
"The whole transaction is mon
strous."

ousted by Congregationalists.
When news of Prof. rIerron's action
was learned he was tried by council
of Congregational ministers at Grin
nell, Ia, and was found guilty of inn
moral and unchristian conduct. The
report of the ministerial committee
was as follows:
"At council held in tho First Con-
gregational church of Gripnell on the
4th of June, 1901, to consider the right
of church membership aad minis
terial standing of George p. Heron,
the following findings were rendered.:
THAT the charge of IMMORAL and
unchristian conduct is sustained by
the findings of the court which at
Algona, on March 81, 1901, Granted a
decree of divorce to Mary Everhard
Heron from her husband on the
grounds of desertion and lnhuman
treatment.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the Grinnell association that the name
of George d. Heron be dropped from
it's roll of membership.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the First Congregational church of
