REV. sTuLL TO ST. PAUL
Late Baptist Pastor Moves to St. Pau

Rev. C. H. Stull who is just clos
ing his pastorate of the Baptist
church of Denison has decided to ac-
cept a call tn the Burr Street Baptist
church at st. Paul. He had many
good offers but thought that st. Paul
offered the best field for him. We
hear Burr Street church is made up of
an active membership. That it is
right alung christian endeavor lines.
it can be said, that its contributions
for missions exceeds one-half the
amount paid the pastor for his salary.
OF course Rev. Stull has q raise in
compensation over what he received
in Denison. He will be with the
church here over next Sunday. His
friend. Rev. Blackman of Sac City
will he here on that day and occupy
the pulpit on one occasion. All hope
Rev. Stull will find he has chosen
wisely in leaving Denison: and in his
choice Of the new field.

THE MAN WITH A MESSAGE
Judge Lindsey Only Chantauqua Orator
Who Appeared in Earnest.

The only Chautauqua speaker who
impressed one that he had message,
that he was not talking either to kill
time or earn his salary, was Judge
Lindsey of Denver. He makes about
the poorest appearance on the plat
form of any man we have ever seen.
but in few moments all thought of
the speaker is lost in the interest in
his subject. No man of broad SYM
pathies can fail to be interested in
the great question of boyhood which
Judge Lindsey presented. While he
spoke of the criminal courts. he made
many suggestions which would be of
value in the parental court. The
problem of our youth is not such
desperate one in Denison as in Dem
yer. but we too have boys who break
their fathers hearts and girls who go
wrong. The problem of how to treat
the boys and girls is one of the great
est that confronts US. whether we live
in rural Denison or in darkest Denver.

has also won six. second premiums.
four. third premiums and three fifth
premiums. He always shows in
every class and his cattle are all of
his own breeding. AS an illustration
to show what outstanding animals
were in the aged bull class. Mr.. Nc
Henry received third premium on his
Star Of Denison. but he was still
ahead of one bull which was good
enough to sell for s25OO.OO. Taking
into consideration the entire herd,
Mr.. McHeary's is consi dered the
strongest one in America. Such re-
suits reflect much credit to John
Brown the herdsman who prepared the
cattle for this great show.

Biographical
Robert Mather was born January

States when Is years of age and en-
gagged in the paper business. being
manager of paper mills in Raleigh.
N. C. and Richmond. Va. Upon re-
tiring from that branch of trade he
took up railroading and for several
years was conductor on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. during which
time he established fine record and
his work was highly endorsed by the
officials of that road. He was at
tracted westward and upon LEAVING the
L. & NJ. he engaged in the same pus-
mess IN Iowa. He was the conductor
on the first train that entered Iowa
City in the late Sos.
After leaving. the railroad he en-,
gagged in the wholesale fruit busi-
ness. and also conducted railroad
eating house at Hammond. La. COM
ing from that place to Cedar Rapids
in 1875. For fourteen years he was
interested in the eating house at the
union station here. both alone and
with Charles Jordan. He retired in
1885 and went to Denison. Iowa. to
look after his farming interests. re-
siding there about FIVE years. Upon
returning to Cedar Rapids he engaged
in the real estate and land business
and has since conducted an Office in
this CITY.
Mr.. Mather was married first to
Annie Tidesell of Telford, England.
and all his children were born from
that uniun. In 1892 he was married
to Sarah Hollom of Cedar Rapids.
He was a member of Golden Gate
lodge No. 245, A. F. & A. NJ. of
Chagrin Falls o.. being ,ai,ed July
/. 1859. but he was not affili ated with
the local Masonic bodies.
During his early life in England he
was devout member of the Episcopal
church and he was true to that faith
up to the time of his death. Mr..
Mather was a man that was kind.
thoughtful and considerate: he was
we'll known as splendid type of
citizen. During his long residence in
Cedar Rapids he made hosts of friends
all OF whom greatly loved and re-
Fspgrted him. TO everybedy that
knew him his death will cause pro-
found sorrow.

I SHOULD BE PERMANENT
Chautauqua Should Become Fixed
Feature of Denison Life.

The success of the Chautauqua with
its fine music. its great lecturers and
its general influence for good has con-
verted our people to the idea of a
permanent Chautauqua. 1t may be
we'll enough to let the Redpath bureau
conduct the Chautauaua next year but
thereafter it should be in charge of
the citizens. who could thus select
their own talent and manage affairs
to suit themselves. We have prac-
tically no criticism to offer as to the
management this year. and we are
glad that sufficient pledges were re-
ceived to guarantee success next
year. The people of the county were
so we'll pleased last week that we be-
lieve. with good weather conditions
the attendance next year will be
tirpled.
