MANY HORSES SOLD. NEW IOWA INDUSTRY.
The Fortnightly Auction In Pavil-
lion Growing in Popularity

The fortnightly horse sale at the
Walthall pavilion was held Thursday
afternoon and was good success. A
large number of horses were listed
and the greater percent of them we're
sold. The local buyers we're out in
numbers, while there were never
more foreign buyers at one sale than
at this one, The sale was a success,
and while the horses at the sale were
not all of the best, they were good
Mahaska products and brought the
best prices on the average yet OBJ.
tanned. Some of the horses brought
from $40 to $50 over the list price.
The sale was cried by Auctioneer
Ike Reed and he gave splendid salts
faction. The highest price horse of
the sale was a big heavy draft horse
which sold for 1882.
One thing of great advantage to the
farmers as well as others is to list
their horses early so as to give the
foreign buyers descriptive list OF
what are consigned, thereby securing
their presence at the sale. 1t is, hard
to get good buyers unless they know
what horses are listed.
The sale for Thursday, Nov. s, has
been postponed on account of the
busy time for the farmers and the
election. The next sale will therefore
be held at the pavilion four weeks
from Thursday last, or Nov. %.
The management has made a
change in the policy Of listing horses.
After this the horses that are listed
and are not sold will not be charged
a listing fee.

The Sale of Turtles Is Proving to
be Very Profitable.

One of the latest Iowa industries is
thus described by the Grinnell Her.
aid: Probably few people in Grin
nell know that hundreds OF turtles are
being shipped out of here to eastern
markets by A. J. and o. w. Hockett
every week. The former lives on the
west edge of town near Hazlewood
cemetery and there he and his bro
Their. o. w. dockett, Of Thompson,
Ills, who has been in the business for
years and has been here for the past
few weeks securing the creeks and
ponds Of Poweshiek county for these
animals, are gathering in literally
hundreds Of turtles each week.
CAS- many as 275 have been shipped
from here by them to Philadelphia and
Pittsburg in single week and last
Fridays hunt of Bear Creek alone
netted them 105 turtles. They are all
of the swapping variety and consid
cradle care has to be taken by the
men to avoid connection with the bus
mess end of the animals. When they
once get good hold of the hand it is
said that they stick closer than the
biblical brother so far o. w. Hook
EFT, an expert in the business, has es
capped with only slight nip on one
of his hands, while his brother has
not been caught at all.
THE animals weigh from 1 to Il
pounds apiece and bring to s cent'
per pound, live weight. They art
shipped from here alive in reffigerat
or cars and pass through many hands
until finally they end by playing thu
star role in a mullagatawny soup ii
some of the eastern cafes or hotels
OF at the tables of some of Pittsburg''
steel magnates.
They are caught with a rod abou
seven feet long with hook on tht
end and are found along the banks O
creeks and particularly around drifts
1t is surprising that someone had no
thought of the tise which could b
made of these htTnble animals be

been the first to realizS the possibili
ties of the business and We hope tina
they will meet with a welT deserved
success for their industry and fore

OPPOSED TO SECRECY
Conference at Pella Takes a Shot
at Lodges.

PelIa, Ia, Oct. 29.-In sweeping res
o1ations the Iowa conference of the
National Christian association in ses-
sion here denounced secret societies
as "exeftfng a baneful influence upon
church, family and state" The meet
ing was well attended and after elect.
ing officers adjourned to meet next
year at the Swedish Evangelical Mis-
sion church of East Des Moines.
The following officers were elected,
President-Rev. J. T. -McGaw, of
Linton.
Vice President-Rev. W. IVAN Ker.
sen of Pella.
secretary-Rey. C. C. Kayle, of
Msnroe.
State Agent-Rev. J. L. Baxter
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, 0athboand secret socie-
ties are still continuing to exert their
baneful influence upon church, far;
lily and state, and
Whereas, We believe the Iowa de-
partment of the National Christian
association has been and is used of
God in combating this gigantic evil,
therefore,
Resolved. That we render thanks
to God for what has been done, and in
view of the present need apply our
selves with special diligence to the
work of the present year.
That we, as an association of
Christians. continue to assert the
claims of Christ especially as the
lodge system. attacks such claims.
That we note with 10y that many
members of lodges are weaTying OF
their attendance upon the same; men
as well as children weary of an excit-
ing play if long continued.
That we note signs of improve
ments in the relation between labor,
unions and capital in the Industrial
world. Sometimes men learn the
better way by sad experience.
THAT since the minor lodges act.
as feeders and supporters to the ma
jor lodges they should be discouraged.
THAT we as an association believe
that minister of the gospel who al
lies himself with secret society is
thereby hurting the cause of Christ,
and we therefore appeal to all such to
study the motives, prin-
ciples, teachings and obligations of
their lodge, and to consider in connec-
ton Herewith their position as am
bassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ
and to come Out from among them
THAT the church of Christ every
where should oppose and seek the
overthrow of oathbound Christless Sc
cret societies because such are injurt-
Gus to the home, church and state.'

DICKSON:-Death for the first time
has come among us and the Divine
Ruler Of the Universe has seen fit to
take from among US our ever faithful
and beloved sister, Fannie e. Dickson
We, as a committee to draft resolu,
tions of respect, submit the following:
There are none Of us but have fell
the sorrows of sister passing away
from our sight. How we miss her
from our lodge work, and in our 50.
cial hour; we miss the sisterly hand
clasp or friendly smile; but she has
left this beautiful world of ours for
one far more beautiful, and as you
have heard it so often said, what is
our loss is her gain, and this can be
truthfulIy said of a true Rebekah.
And then comes to US the thought of
lives cut short in their usefulness;
let as heed for ourselves the lesson
that is taught. If life be so short and
death so sure, how can we be careless
of our lives. Work whl.e the day, of
life may last, so that after life we
may live in the hearts of our friends
and sisters Thou hast passed away
IKE weary dove, to it's sheltering
nest. Thy spirit has flown to its
haven of rest. She is not dead, but
only passed into a higher lodge
above, to read the records of the
deeds performed in friendship, truth
and love. Sister, we will not say
farewell or even breathe a deep
drawn sigh. We feel thy presence
with us still, for loving souls can
never die. Resolved, that while we
bow to the will of god in the death of
our beloved sister, we wish to place
ON record our most sincere and heart
felt sentiments of esteem for her
faithful and noble character. Resolv-
ed, that a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of this
lodge and that they be published and
that copy be furnished the family
OF the deceased sister and that our
charter and her chair be draped in
mourning for a period of sixty days.
Fraternally submitted in F. L. and T..
