Great Evangelist Suggests That Fair.
field, oskaIoosa and Abba Join With
This city-lf This Cooperation Can
Be Obtained Workers May Come.

Ottumwa must secure the aid Of
nearby cities If DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman
and his corps of evangelists are to
come to this place. This fact was an
nounced at the meeting Of the Ottum-
wa Ministerial association held this
morning in the Y. NJ. G. A.
The members of the committee Of
local pastors who went to Des Moines
last week to confer with DR.. Chapman
In regard to his coming to Ottumwa to
hold series of simultaneous meetings
here, made their report this morning.
This committee was composed Of DR..
F. F. Stoltz, DR.. F. e. Davies, Rev.
Isaac Goodman and Rev. P. Adelstein
| Johnson.
These ministers stated that Dr..
Chapman would not come to city SO
small that his whole force of gospel
workers could not be used. He had
| then suggested that If the churches Of
Ottumwa could secure the cooperation
of the churches in Oskaloosa, Fairfield
and Abba, so that meetings might be
held in the four cities at the same time,
he might be able to give these places
date some time in the future.
Has Twenty seven Assistants.
DR.. Chapman has band of twenty
seven assistants, including singers and
shop workers, and it will be easily seen
that Ottumwa is not large enough TO
allow of all Of these evangelists work
ing here to an advantage.
1t is DR.. Chapman's idea that If the
cooperation Of these outside cities can
be obtained, meetings will be held in
all four cities simultaneously. In this
way all the workers could be used.
Even If this cooperation is secured it
is not an absolute certainty that DR..
| Chapman will come to this city, but in
that event he will make an earnest eff
fort to do SO. If he comes it will prob
ably be either next fall or in the year
1908.
Committees were appointed this
morning by the Ministerial association
to visit the three cities mentioned and
attempt to interest the churches Of each

The cross examination Of v. R. Nc.

The defense is expected to move for

arguments will take all day today and
the case probably go to tue jury to-
night.

MARSHAL BILL TO
COME UP AGAIN
A. C. RANKIN WILL URGE ITS PAS.
SAGE BY THE NEXT IOWA
LEGISLATURE
Believes Time Is Now Ripe for Such
an Enactment-BiIl Is Smothered
Twice But Promoter Thinks 1t Has
More Friends Now.


Twice But Promoter Thinks 1t Has
More Friends Now.
Des Moines, Dec. ia. G. Rankin
and the marshel bill will be on hand
at the opening of the winter session
of the legislature,
| In a recent article reviewing the
work which the legislature would have
to do this winter, speculation was in
dulge1 as to whether the marshal bill
would be revived. Mr. Rankin noted
the paragraph and has written to
friends in Des Moines that it will be
on deck. The Cobb bill will be the one
| to which the promoters of the marshal
idea will cling.
Mr.. Rankin believes that the time
for the passage of the measure is more
nearly ripe now than hitherto. He
says N his letter in which he discloses
the plan to revive the measure:
Oelwein, Dec. 1.-THE marshal
bill will be presented at the coming
session of the legislature. The bill in
troduced by Representative Cobb and
voted on in the house will be the one
presented. If any changes are made
in 1t they will be considered at the SEES
sion of the state executive committee
early in January.
l have been conducting meetings in
various towns for the past few weeks
Never have found the public senti-
ment SO favorable to the marshal law
as at the present time.
Large audiences have greeted me
here. l speak at Winthrop the last of
this week. Next Sunday l commence
a series of meetings in Dubuque under
the auspices of the ministers Of that
city.
We now have an eight page paper of
our own, published monthly, and will
endeavor to organize 100 more cities
and towns this coming year.
The many and spasmodic character
of the efforts of private citizens
leagues to enforce the liquor laws the
past year has greatly popularized the
marshal movement and demonstrated
the absolute necessity of state enforce
ment
A. G. Rankin.
The marshal law has always had
strong friends in the legislature, and
it is said that 1t will have additional
friends in the coming session The bill
last year was killed first in the senate
committee on suppression of intern
perealce and later in the house.
At that time Mr.. Rankin charged
the friends of Mr.. Cummins with being
responsible for the defeat of the meas
ure and he was quoted as saying that
the governor would suffer for it at the
polls. 1t is the general belief among
politicians that the members of the
marshal clubs did not vote against
him. But Mr.. Rankin, personally, was
not conspicuous in the campaign.
