league needed is one whose support
will have to be bid for only on the
grounds Of honor and good policy.
Usually the respectable element of the
city goes with the party and the worse
element fiuctuates according to it's i'm
terests 1t is time for the respectable
element to ask pledges from men NOM
mated to office as to what they will do
in the interest of public morals and de-
cency and endorsement of law, and to
vote for the man who will make
pledges along this line and then insist
on his keeping them.
Information for the prosecution OF
Eddie HOFFMAN, for murder came from
the county attorneys Office, said Mr..
Sawyers in the course Of his sermon:
but the ministers and others who seek
the county officials and ask that brok-
en- laws be enforced, are told to file
the information themselves.
.sWhat a terrible thing 1t would be"
said the speaker, "if we had to read
In the newspapers that the Greek who
killed woman here in July had been
captured and had to be released be-
cause all the ministers were out Of the

appropriate that he should have been
selected to preach the semi centennial

Fellows has been engaged in writing
the history Of Iowa Methodism in

1t is expected that there will be quite

possibly some changes In the presiding

made to remedy defect, noticeable In

Ackley, Aug. 21.-The towD of Ack-
ley, during Friday and SATURDAY of last
week, moved it's pump, dynamo and
machinery from it's old we'll to the new
one The pump and machinery were
all in position by Saturday evening, but
were not put in operation until Sunday
evening. when the city pumped its tank
full in seven hours. The town has Sc
cured a new pump which has foui
times the capacity of the old one, and
is now in position to pump it's water
for daily use in few hours, where it
formerly took all nights work to get a
sufficient supply. The new we'll has
now been tried, and proves to supply
water as fast as the town can pump IL.
Before it was tried there was some
question as<to whether it would hold
out.
The town has also ordered a new
boiler and a new engine for it's electric
light plant. The new engine will be
donated to the town by one of its gen
erous spirited citizens, j. c. Lusch.
Mr.. Lusch is one Of Ackley's bankers
and an old resident of the town, who
when the question arose as to raising
funds for purchasing new machinery
for the light plant, partially solved the
problem by offering to make the town
a present of the engine. The engine
will be of the latest model and with
more than sufficient capacity to fur>
nish power for light and pumping for
the town. The engine in use at the
present time is insufficient to furnish
the power needed and is nearly worn
out. The boiler is purchased by the
town, and \ is to be delivered within
thirty days.
1t has been a question in the minds
of Ackley citizens for some time as to
whether or not the town would operate
the steam heating part of it's city plant.
but the city has now decided to repair
the steam mains and continue to oper-
ate the steam heating part of it's plant
in connection with the electric light
plant. After the improvements now
decided upon by the town are fully
completed Ackley will have first-class
electric light plant and will be able to
furnish light to great many more pa
