COAL LAND OPTIONED.
Great Fields to be Opened Up by
Railway Companies.

Des Moines Capital: The largest
undeyeloped coal field in Iowa is be
ing gradually bought UP by steam rail
roads, the Milwaukee, Northwestern
and Rock Island being chiefly inter
ested.
West of Knoxville through the in
land town of Dallas to Melrose and
Centerville lies what is considered
the largest undeveloped coal field in
the state. In this district it is estimat
ed there is as much coal still untouch
ed as is to be found in all the balance
Of Iowa, and that this field extends
under the surface for about 100000
acres.
Recently in southwest Marion and
northeast Monroe the Northwestern
in addition to its holdings at and
around Buxton, has acquired the min,
eral rights to about fifty sections
This has been prospected by the put
ting down of an average of thirty
holes to the section and the coal runs
with but few Interruptions at from
AZ to rs feet at depth of from 80 to
100 feet from the surface, being one
of the shortest lifts in the Iowa
fields.
The Milwaukee road has acquired
$3.50 acres of mineral rights about
ten miles south from Donnelly. The
same number of holes to the section
as on Northwestern holdings were'put
down on this tract and the coal with
but few faults or breaks ran at about
the same depth and from AS to TO
On this tract at distance of a mile
from each other two confirmation
shafts were sunk to prove prospects
At Ill feet in the north shaft face
of IL coal was uncovered and in the
other at 112 face of IA coal was re
vealed
The Rock Island road has acquired
about $500 acres southwest from
Knoxville, near Dallas, reports uncon
firmed stating that coal runs here
about as on Milwaukee and North
western holdings. One shaft is be,
ing operated on the north edge of this
field and a spur has been built to the
mine. The Inland Fuel company, in.
dependent Of the railroads, holds up
wards of 5000 acres east of Newbern
and is without railroad facilities. II
has a shaft in operation and is team.
ing coal and selling to farmers. In
it's territory as high as eight feet OF
coal was found by the prospectors.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items Of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.

The ministers of the city held q
meeting last week at which it was
agreed that Sundays services should
be devoted to the subject OF Good
Citizenship" The program was car.
ried out and yesterday nearly all SER
vices were devoted to the cause OF
law and order. Excellent sermons
were voiced from the several pulpits
in the city and large congregations
were present.
The day was specially favorable for
church-going and both morning and
evening attendance was unusually
large. In addition to this the nature
of the days services was generally
understood over the city on account
of the advertising that had been CIV
en- in various ways and the interest
in the several sermons was thereby
increased.
At the Central M. E. church Rev.
Somerville delivered a very strong
sermon on Law and Order" In the
evening Rev. Milton L. Williams de-
livered another strong exhortation
along the same lines.
At the Pentecostal Mission in the
afternoon G. L. Miller occupied the
pulpit and talked on civic problems.
The matter was similarly treated
from the Baptist pulpit in a strong
appeal by Rev. F. F. Whitcomb, on
Temperance, Law and Order"
Rev. Dugan of the United Presby-
terrain, and Rev. Kaye of the Congre-
gational church, made their themes
Law and Order" and handled the
subject without gloves. 1t was
strong union effort for the good OF
the city and will no doubt bring re.
suits.

GARNER-HURLBUT.-The Green
Bay CWis.) Advocate of September
rs says:
With that combination of simple
ity and elegance which represents the
essence of refinement, Miss Flora
Hurlbut and Horton Wesley Garner,
of oskaloosa, Iowa, were married yes
terday evening at the home of the
brides father, Fred Hurlbut, in the
presence of about eighty relatives and
close friends of the bride and groom.
Never in Green Bay was wedding
more beautifully conducted from all
standpoints than that of Miss Hurlbut.
The handsome home was decorated
with a profusion of plants and cut
flowers, so distributed as to give eV-
cry room set aside for the entertain
ment of guests the appearance of a
bower. The front parlor, in which
the ceremony was performed, was dec
GRATED in palms and American Beauty
roses. The large front windows, be-
fore which the couple took their
stand, were banked with palms, COM
pletely hiding the windows; the man
tie presented the appearance of an
other bower of palms and roses, the
latter predominating. The walls of
both parlors were screened with the
green of growing plants with touches
of color where clusters of American
Beauties were arranged. Gladiolas in
profusion lent life and color to the
decorations of the library and the
frappe room was beautifully decorated
in hydrangeas and ferns. The frappe
bowl, of handsome cut glass, was
banked with purple, red and green
grapes, and sprays of hydrangeas and
asparagus ferns. Among these hand
the guests assembled. Promptly at G
o'clock the bridal party entered the
parlors and took their position before
the bower of palms in the front par
lor. Miss Mae Glynn acted as maid
of honor, Miss Amy Nelson of Iron
Mountain and Miss Blanch Garner of
Ottumwa, as bridesmaids; Otto Won
Schrader of Eau Claire, Wis, as best
man, Lawrence Garner of Ottumwa
and Fred Hurlbut, Jr., as ushers. The
ed first, followed by the groom with
the bride on his arm, the others fol-
lowing and forming circle before the
bower. Heynen's orchestra, conceal
ed upstairs, played the Lohengrin we'd
ding march as the wedding party en-
tered. The Rev. Father Foster per-
formed the Episcopal wedding SER
vice, the father giving away the bride.
The bride wore beautiful empire
gown of white chiffon over WHITE silk,
both ACCORDION pleated and elaborate
ly trimmed with rose point lace, and
a long white bridal veil clasped with
white roses. Miss Efie Hardy, of
Bedham, Mass, caught the brides
bouquet when 1t was thrown after the
ceremony. The wedding was followed
by a reception and four course din
ner. The bridal table was decorated
in white and greene, white roses and
smilax festooned with white tulle
around the table. Those who assist.
ed at the wedding were Mrs. C. B.
