tFrom Mondays Daily.l
The four weeks series OF union
evangelistic meetings to be held by
the Congregational and Methodist
churches OF the city began under pro-
pitious circumstances last night. The
Congregational church was crowded
to the doors and extra chairs had to
be brought in from outside to accom-
modate the audience.
s. H. Jackson has n sweet, well mod.
ulated tenor voice and is most ex.
cellent leader of chorus. His solo,
Ship Ahoy," was very we'll received.
Mr.. Olmstead took for his text. "To
be Carnally Minded is Death" He
said in part
Professor Herbert Spencer's def.
milton OF death was, The ceasng OF
correspondence between the inner
man and outward life, or failure to I'D
just ones self to his environment.
The death referred to by Paul in this
text probably did not mean future ex-
stence as most people believe. but
lack of proper adjustment to spiritual
and higher things Of life"
Mr. Olmstead Is devoid of the SEN
sational methods of the peripatetic
evangelist. He is clear, logical in
preaching and uses the conversational
tone of voice. If last nights meeting
can be taken as an example of what
is to follow, good series of meetings
with splendid results is to be expect
ed.
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock the
afternoon meetings will begin in the
Sunday school room of the Congrega-
tional church.

after school, Mr.. Jackson wants to

ages of 8 and Is, to form sunbeam"

WISNER FIRE ALARM BELLS.
Every Fireman in the Town Has Bell
That Starts Ringing With Button.

The city authorities of Wisner have
just installed an electric call bell sys-
TEN for their firemen in case of fire.
A bell is placed in the home of every
fireman and the wires are run into
the telephone exchange, where they
can be set ringing by a single touch
of a button. At times such as last
night it is difficult to get out all the
fire department as the sound of the
alarm does not carry to every house.
But the electric bell does reach every
home and rings until it is turned off
by the fireman.

alleged libel preferred by r. j. Shci

aged four years ago to the extent OF
$4,000. The case was tried once and
Judge Boyd was so disgusted with the
injustice and unfairness OF the charg

and rendered decision for the de
fendant, Mr.. Huse. But the plaintiff
spurred on by his attorneys who were
after that velvet which ticklcs the
heart, were not satisfied and carried
the case to the supreme court, which
tribunal reversed the decision of Judge
Boyd, on technicality in the fact
that the judge had made n slight er.

believes that The News was justified

anything of the kind has ever been

II. c. Sattler gave the department $50

All of the department went home at

McCune and eight or ten of the men,
who stayed to finish the work. Short

but the flames were quickly put out
and by 5 o'clock there was no vestige

Hose Cart Broke.

PoLKA-DoTs IN VOGUE.
They VIII Come Well to the Front In
Spite Of Checks and Plaids
and Stripes.

Ever since last March polka dots
have been struggling for recognition.
in spite of the almost autocratic rule
OF checks and broken plaids, and Of
the determined advance Of stripes.
This summer they have succeeded.
All sorts of polka dots are worn,
from the embroidered muslins and
linens down TO the least expensive
batiste. and all sizes as well, from
the big. strihngly effective ones to
infnitesimal dots which are almost
too small to be seen. and which.
when set close together. tighten a
dark color without showing, to a
casual glance, how they do It.
Single polka dots are the rule, but
some unusual effects got by combin-
ing several are seen, we are assured
by a writer in the Chicago Record
Herald. One stunning silk, for in
stance. in black and white, with it's
white ground literally covered with
Dig and little polka dots. overlapping
and with the tiniest of all tucked in
10 MI up corners. All the design was
printed in a sort Of shadowy black.
which kept It from being startling.
Another attractive dress was of dot
ted Swiss, each of the big black dots
which made its style accompanied by
two wee ones set just below it.
An unusual version of the skeleton
dress. which is one OF the most at
tractive and at the same time useful
styles of the season, was Of blue. in
that strong yet dull shade like the
blue Of a Chinese mandarin's coat.
The blouse worn with 1t was white,
with big polka dots Of blue-the same
pretty shade that characterized the
dress. Yet It was sheer and fluffy
enough to "be a real blouse" in
stead OF reverting to a shirt waist
type. which would have utterly spoiled
the dress.

MIDSUMMER REPAIRING.
L. the Middle of the Summer the Care
ful Woman Takes Account
Of Stock.

There are few women who can pos.
sibly tide over the whole summer
with the clothes they had made in
May, observes Anne Rittenhouse.
Sun and soap are two very damag-
ing causes of the goingto-pieces Of
the clothes we wear between March
and October. While blolses disin-
tegrate rapidly under the pressure OF
the washboard and the sharp point
of the iron; most colors fade from
cloth after being worn in the sun after
two months; white skirts begin to
show raveling threads at the edge
and from constant pulling and press
ing the plaits and the gathers get out
of gear.
Colored straw hats fade, as well as
the roses and ribbon on them. Even
tan shoes get steadily darker whilr
the stockings bought to match them
grow rapidly lighter. So it is that
even the most careful woman finds
herself in the middle Of the warm
months looking far more disheveled
and unneat than she cares to own.
Then should come a week of mend
ing, altering and replacing.
Whether or not women have any
system of renewing their clothes at
this time of the year. 10 woman can
afford not to have a general overhaul-
ing Of every garment she wears. un.
der-lIaen, hats and clothes.
II Il strange how upon close IN
spection we find our clothes not all
We thought them TO be in neatness
and freshness.
Summer clothes are certainly per
ishable ones and unless we have a
constant criticism of them from the
outside we are apt TO let all the little
details slip. and then gasp with as
tonishment when we really see the
condition of things.
A few good days of ripping and
mending. Of putting Or new belts and
renewing old collars, of replacing but

wonders toward giving us a fresh
