THE COURIER
BY G. r. BRUCE
DR.. WASHINGTON GLADDEN. ON THE
ROcKEFELLRR GIFT.
Published on Every Thursday

John d. Rockefeller's gift OF $1,000
to the American Board, the foreign
missionary society OF the Congrega.
tional churches, has called out great
discussion the country over, both pro
and con. A large aud Influential body
OF Congregational clergymen in Massa,
chusetts have entered strong protest
against accepting the gift. Washing
ton GLADDEN. of Columbus, O., the mod
orator of the National Council, In a
sermon last Sunday night took the
following positions:
1.-THE money preferred to our board
OF missions comes out OF a collateral es-
tate whose foundations were laid in
: the most relentless rapacity known to
modern commercial history.
THE success of this business from
the beginning until now has been large
ly due to unlawful and outrageous
manipulatlons OF railway rates. The
whole country Is now upln arms against
this species OF robbery. 1t has right
to be. 1t has been long time walking
up OF this enormty. 1t is in this cause
Tor more than to any other that the
monopolies which have been grinding
the life outOf American Industries owe
their power.
''The United States government is
now engaged in strenuous attempt to
ferret out and punish this injustice.
And the people of tie United States
have tremendous battle on their
hands with the corporate greed which
has intrenched itselfin thisstronghold,
and has learned to use the railways for
the oppression and spoliation of the
people.
The man from whom our missionary
society proposes TO accept the gift il
the great organizer of this system of
plumber. His fortune was built on
this foundation. He has taught the
other plunderers most of VIII at they
know about these methods. He rep
resents more perfectly than any one
else the system of brigandage by which
our commerce has been ravaged for
many Years. This system must be at
tackled and Oyerthrown If we want to
save free government In every such
battle for freedom and righteousness
the Congregational churches have been
on the firing line. And now, on the
eve VI tiA1S udttiS, SHey are dSk6u 10 ac-
fcept great gift of money from the
man who more completely than any
other represents the system they are
summoned to fight.
i hope they are not mean enough to
take his money and then turn around
and fight him. / hope they are not so
faithless TO their obligations as to take
his money and shut their mouths or
become his apologists. We do not
want this mans money. Toaccept it
will be to work the contempt of mill
lions OF honest men; to reject it will
strengthen our churches In the affec-
tion and respect OF millions who are
inclined TO doubt whether the churches
love God more than mammon. Our

Tue YANKTON DAILY AND FAKE ADvER.
Using.

The Yankton Press and DukotGa-
Gazette is usually pretty judicious as to
both the reading matter and the adj
vertising matter it admits to It's coli
umns. Last week 1t was beguiled into
printing some of the evidence in the
recent case of Marks VS.. Arnold in
Charles Mix county, on the plea that
Marks involved, a specialist" doctor
OF Sioux Falls, had been advertising in
the columns OF the r. d DIG. The
second day Bro. Lusk repented, apollo
gized to his readers and printed only a
couple OF sticks instead of the column
or two of the Objectionable matter.
He has also cancelled DIR. Marks adj
vertising contract and promised his
readers never to do so any more.
This moves us to say that a few
weeks ago the COURIER received rather
OF a tiattering advertising proposition
from this same Specialist" Wedidn't
like the color, so showed the price up
to point that was almost sure to be
prohibitive and have since heard moth,
ing from him. The COURIER will not
countenance fake If 1t knows it, and
we hatter ourselves that for eight years
our columns have been remarkably free
from anything of that kind.

Judge Ladd Issues a Restrain
ing Order In the Nelson-La-
Plant Case
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Notice of Appeal From Demurrer to
Supreme Court Served On Defend
ant-Until Case is Finally Disposed
Of Water at Center Street Dam Can
Not Be Lowered.


Judge Scott NJ. Ladd, in the supreme
court, has issued al restraining order
in the case of the Marshall Ice Com
pany, ct. AL, VS.. George w. LaPlant,
preventing the defendant from inter-
fering in any manner with the Iowa
river dam at Center street until final
action is taken on the appeal from
the demurrer of the defendant in the
supreme court. Judge Burnham
granted a demurrer that dismissed the
plaintiffs petition on the ground that
it had no cause for action. Notice
of the appeal has been served on Mr..
LaPlant.
The case in question is of more than
ordinary public interest owing to the
fact that the city has assumed the
burden of seeing the case to its final
outcome, in order to protect it's own
interests II the Center street dam
is removed the city claims that the
stage of water in the gravel beds will
be seriously interfered with. The re-
straining order prevents the defend
ant from doing anything whatever
with the dam that will in any way
lower the stage of water

STANDING Of the Clubs.

The two tailenders mixed things IN
the Grays' back lot yesterday and the
favorites were easy winners by to B.
Parkin pitched what promised up to
the eighth to be shut out game, but
errors broke in to queer his scoreless
pace, and at the same time hits broke
out, accounting for the three tallles
Burlington made in the closing two in
nines. For the first time in two weeks
the Grays hit up to form, and peppered
Comet freely in four of the eight times
they were at bat These biffs, together
with the lnisplays of the visitors,
made possible the half dozen tallies ac-
quired.
From start to finish the locals were
handy with the bat. while the visitors
were having more or less trouble at
most all stages Of the game with Mr..
Parkin. He prevented hits from be-
ing punched on him, and no two broke
in the innings no scores were made ex-
cepting the fourth. Sharp fielding In
that round prevented the visitors from
getting past third. When Parkn's sup
port blew up in the eighth and ninth,
and the hits came at the same time.
there was nothing to Huntington,
could not be prevented from scoring.
Comet proved easy for the locals,
and from Williams opening two-bag-
ger, in the first inning, to the last hi.
in the seventh, he was hit freely. VIII
laims scored in the opening round on
his two-bagger and Middleton's single.
He scored again In the third, on an.
other single, and links hit. -Four singles
in that round only neted one tally,
wasting of hits. CorkhflPs hit. Met
Calls error, and Depew's foul to Gro
gan in foul ground back Of first, gave
Corkhill the opening to beat the throw
home. Warmers double, Midddleton's
links and Browns singles, chased
home three more tallies, cinching the
game with total Of six. Up to this
time Burlington had not been wrestling
with Parkin and an effort to get a tall
.ly His support had proved firm, and
cut off all chances, there being no
opening until the eighth After one was
away Parkin hit Wilkes. Metcaf hit
for two bases over first, King famed.
and Middleton fu1nbled Grogan's
grounder, Wilkes Juggling home the
first tally. Hanson flew out to Brown,
closing out the side.
The locals had an awful time sub
DUNG the visitors in the closing round,
and they had TALES twice before one
hand was gone. Daniels, first up, hit,
and Middleton furnbled Comets
grounder. Frisbee hit a double, Dam
iels and Comet chasing home. War
rem flew to Middleton, Wilkes famed,
and Metcalf closed out the side by
kicking a dinky little hit ball, which
rolled in front of the plate while he
was at bat Frisbee expired on second.

she became seriously i'll. She was
taken to the hospital Thursday night

Friday morning. The examination
showed no hope for the patient and
the end came Friday night.
Miss ASKING has made her home

LOCAL COMMENT

| The Barber Asphalt Company has fin-
ally donned its war paint, and is riding
out to meet Marshalltown thru fed
era1 court action, in which 1t seeks to
recover dmages in the sum of $4,000
because of the city's failure to assess
the cost of the North First and Sec
ond avenue paving to the abutting
| property. The result of the case will
be awaited with much interest, not
only in Marshalltown, but turnout the
entire state, by reason of the fact that
the case is without precedent in Iowa.
The city will contend in meeting the
action, that the paving is not,
and was not, laid according to
the specifications. Witnesses will
be furnished to show measure
ments taken when repairs to
the streets in question were recently
made. These measurements show that
the foundation, binder course and eop
course were all under the specifica-
lions in certain instances. On the
other hand the Barber people will un-
doubtedly show by expert testimony
that the paving was a substantial
compliance.
Just what the outcome of the case
will be, providing the court holds the
specifications substantially met, there
seems to be difference Of opinion.
Some attorneys claim that, should the
paving company win, the city, because
it is made defendant in the action, will
have to bear the expense of meeting
the assessments, rather than the
property owners on the streets con-
cerned. Other counsel, however, hold
that il the city loses the case the course
Of procedure would be the same as had
regular way. In other words the court
would declare the paving laid accord
ing to specifications, the abutting
property would be assessed in the US
ual manner, and the city, as q whole,
would only have to foot the bill incur
red by the litigation.
Mayor Ingledue has not given up
the idea Of meeting the Barber people
on their own ground, and will himself
start the ball rolling by beginning suits
to recover on assessments already lev
led and paid, on the allegation that
the paving was not laid according to
specifications. The mayors idea is to
have property owners who have
waived and paid bring innumer-
able Individual suits, and in such
small amounts that the paving COM
pany can not carry them ITO the fed
eral courts. Mr.. Ingledue thinks that
before the case against the city is even
tried the Barber company will be made
defendant in 125 or more district court
cases.
The T.-R. printed this week a most
interesting article for hts farmer read
ers, in which was embodied the report
of L. G. Burnett, of the agronomy de-
partment of Iowa State College, who
has in charge the Marshall county
station of experimental crops. 1t Is
indeed gratifying to note that Of all
the counties Of the state in which local
experiment stations are maintained,
Marshall county stands as one OF two
leaders. Mr. Burnett's report takes UP
the different crop experiments and, OF
course, pays particular attention to
corn. OF the different samples fur
