Mr.. and Mrs. Albert trust and

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert trust and
daughter left this week for a visit
at Glencoe and one of the lakes near
that city.
Mrs. G. w. Mead and two sons,
John and Bob, left last Tuesday for
Redfeld, S. D., where they will re-
main on visit with H. P. Laird and
family for some time.
Miss Louise M. Fernald returned
home last Monday evening from her
extended visit in eastern states and
also from attending the national
convention of librarians.
T. B. Secor moved his billiard and
pool tables, together with all other
fixtures, from the one story frame
building east of Lobdell's meat
market, to the Crouley building just
west of Lauterbach Bros harness
shop, last Wednesday. The interior
Of the latter building has been most
lastly decorated by H. E. Jones and
makes one of the finest billiard halls
in this section of the state. The
work of tearing down the frame
building vacated by Mr.. Secor has
already commenced and as soon as
completed the work of pushing the
E. A. Pease hardware building,
which is to occupy that site, will be
pushed to completion.
An omission in the new code,
which is likely to be very trouble
some until the 1907 session of the
legislature corrects it,, prevents a
number of contemplated divisions of
school districts. 1t has been dis
covered that the new code does not
contain chapter % of the laws of
1891, which gives the county board
power to distribute moneys, funds,
credits, etc., when a division of a
district is made into two or more
districts within the boundaries of
the original district. This without
doubt will prevent a number of
districts dividing and will retard the
creation of new districts and under
the code the old district from
portion of which the new districts
were formed would retain all the
credits, ETC., in the treasury.
The new district would have to start
out with practically nothing in an
instance of this kind.
The Methodist missionary society
met with Mrs. Gottlieb Kuenzli on
Tuesday and had a very pleasant
time. The meeting was held and ice
cream and cake served on the shaded
lawn. The society has received
letter from their Bible woman in
Rookie District, India. She is teach
ing two day schools and three Sun
day schools. Many Of the women
have left their idol worship and con-
fessed the Lord. The society voted
to assist in filling a Christmas box
for one of their stations in India.
Articles required are pins, needles,
thread, bags, soap, calico and ging-
ham in p yard lengths. Mrs. Hall
read a paper on history of famous
hymns. Mrs. A. E. King conducted
the lesson study of the gold coast,
Mrs. Cowgirl gave a sketch of Nj
geria and the French Congo. Mrs.
S. Stegner read Of Calabar and the
awful sacrifices of life connected
with the burial of their chiefs.
About sixty persons were buried
with Chief Efium wives, slaves and
freemen) all living, except the chief.
When his successor died about 300
persons lost their lives; and yet
there are a few people IN Christian
countries who say: Let the heather
alone, they are all right; we are not
called to send the gospel to them.
Human sacrifices are now abolished
and the word of God is listened to
and obeyed in Calabar Mrs. Chad
derdon read Of the wonderful spread
of Christianity. The coast Christian
knows his bible, chapter and verse,
the leaders minds are saturated
with the scriptures. The church is
certainly built on the solid founda-
ton, the knowledge of the living
word. Mrs. Tiffany's paper on Re
cent Events Of Importance in AT
RIGA" closed full meeting.
