LECTURES ON ENGLAND.

Rev. II. A. Barton Of Albion, Addresses
Small Audience at Y. M. C. A.
Rev. H. Arthur Barton, pastor of the
Albion Methodist church, delivered a
splendid lecture to very small audi
ence at the Railroad z. M. C. A. Fri
day evening on England. Rev. Barton's
subject was "In Merry England" the
material from which was CLEANED from
his residence there and from a trip
made to his native land few years
ago. Rev. Barton took his audience on
ship board with him and across the
Atlantic. He landed them at the Isle
Of Wight, and described the favorite
home Of the late Queen Victoria. He
told Of London and its chief points Of
interest, including st. Paups cathedral,
the tower OF LondonJ Hyde Park, and
from there took his audience with him
to Standardization, the home of
Shakespeare, then to Birmingham,
Manchester and other manufacturing
centers. He pointed out, in closing, the
two evils of England's society, the
caste system and intemperance in
drink, and paid a glowing tribute to
America. Rev. Barton was born in
England, and came to this country
when a young man. The purpose OF
the lecture was to raise money to wipe
out the deficit of the associations base

summer.

THE NEW GRASSLAND
What II Is and Why It is Superior to
others-A New Shipment at A. e.
Wilbur q Sons.


The new cross-banded oak veneer
furniture is becoming very popular. It
has many points Of superiority over
the ordinary kind and at the same time
is reasonable in price. The cross band
gives an inlaid effect that is impossible
to obtain in other styles, and at the
same time 1t stands the effect Of chang
ing temperatures better and will not
warp. For beauty Of style, finish and
durability 1t has no equal. A new ship
ment Of this furniture has just been
received at A. E. Wilbur & Sons. The
dining room pieces are particularly
handsome and include everything from
tables, buffets and chairs to plate
racks. This furniture is standard and
any piece may be duplicated, so that
one may begin now and complete the
furnishing of a room later on. A. r..
Wilbur & Sons carry this furniture
not only In the better grades, but in the
medium priced as well.
Besides this line A. E. Wilbur &
Sons have added an unusually fine line
Of holiday goods to their always super
Tor stock. They carry not only the
higher grades, but the lower priced as
we'll. They are all honest goods and at
honest prices.

COLD SNAP DELAYS THE WORK
Anchor Ice Floods the Construction
Work, and Warmer Days Will Be
Needed For Dirt Work-channeI Has
Boon Thoroughly Cleaned and Wild

Steamer to the Home.

The end of the work of repairing the
Center street Iowa river dam Is finally
in sight and today the last two OF the
four bents of the south section We're
set, under the direction of Superinten-
dent of Mains E. q. Mack. The plank
ing and filling will require some time.
as only small force of men is being
worked, and 1t will require few
warmer days in which to do the dirt
work.
The sudden cold snap has caused a
hindrance to the work, as flow of
anchor ice floods the construction, and
RESULTS dn too great a depth over the
foundation. The work, however, has
progressed very satisfactorily when the
unfavorable conditions are taken into
consideration. The lateness of the sea-
son was not conducive to rapid work,
and the unreasonable rains have caus-
ed a greater flow of water than has
ever been known at this time Of the

River Cleaner and Wider.
The lack Of a dam at Center street
has resulted in one advantage, in that it
has cleaned out the river above the dam
Of most Of the snags and distractions
that have been lodging for years. A
much wider channel has also been cut,
and the river today is cleaner than it
has been in years. Between the dam
and the Soldiers Home 1t is now an
exceptionally pretty body Of water, and
1t is declared that with the present
channel a fifty-foot steamer could be
operated with ease to the Soldiers
Home In some places the channel
has been widened forty feet or more
and at one point, just north Of the Duff
field place, the channel is between 1870
and 200 feet wide.
With flood gates such as have been
proposed in building new and perm
anent dam, would have the same eff
feet in cleaning out the river during the
freshet seasons as has resulted natur-
ally by the dam going out.

Together to Buy for Parents, or

Sinclair presents a practical plan In
gift giving that ought to appeal to
hundreds Of people in the county. He
has purchased a large number of sets
of the finest china. The prices on
these sets are very reasonable, quality
considered. They make am ideal pres
emit where two or more persons desire
to club together to buy some thing
for third party. For instance they
make a very desirable gift from child
rem to their parents, from employees to
their employers, etc. These sets need
only to be seen to be appreciated. They
are the best that can be bought. They
are of the finest ware while the de-
signs and decorations are unsurpassed.
They include chop sets, ice cream sets.
chocolate sets, boullion sets. serving
plates, fish sets, smoking sets, rankin
sets, cut glass water sets, fish and
game sets, smoking sets and many 9TH

Reports of 1905 Grain and
Fruit Yields Averages Well
With Former Years
SEASON WAS UNUSUALLY WET
Corn, Official Correspondent Says,
Compared Well With Former Years,
But Much of It Was Down, Making
Picking Difficult-shortase of Other
Grains and Forage.

The annual year book for Iowa,
which has recently been issued. con-
tains much interesting information re-
garding the yields of crops of all kinds
for the year 1905. 1t takes up each
one Of the many varities Of crops and
gives the average yield, and compare
son is made with yields of former
years.
The report of Marshall county was
prepared by Ben Richards, of Rhodes.
Referring to the general condition Of
crops. Mr.. Richards says that the sea-
son was exceptionally wet, but the gen
eral average of crops is up to that of
former years He says corn compares
favorable with previous years. but that
it was badly down in some places and
there was some soft corn. The year
book says that oats yielded about
enough to pay for the cost Of raising
and rental of ground. The wheat aver
age is given at eight bushels. Rye and
Darley, the report says, was OF small
average, but of good quality. Timothy
yielded light crop, Of about one ton
to the acre, and clover gave two fairly
good crops. altho the first cutting was
damaged to some extent by rains. Po-
tatoes yielded seventy five bushels to
the acre on the average, but at that.
the crop was light.
Regarding cattle and horses the year
book says the former are, we'll bred, in
good condition and plentiful, while
horses are scarce and high priced.
Swine are reported in healthy condi-
ton, and the production was large.
There were but few sheep raised, altho
large numbers were fed for the market
in certain parts Of the county.
The season was favorable for chick
ems and was splendid one for bees.
The crop OF honey was large ana
brought reasonable price.
The report refers to the Rhodes fair,
held in 1905 for the first time in three
years, the attendance of which was
good.
