new PASTOR CALLED.
Rev. McFerran Comes to First Pres
byterian Church.

Rev. Alex. McFerran, of Terre
Haute, Ind, has accepted the unani-
nous call which was extended to him
by the First Presbyterian church of
this city and will move here to take
up his regular work as pastor the sec
ond Sunday of next month, September
s. The church has been without a
pastor since April Fl, when the time
for which Rev. e. w. F. Holler had
been called expired, and has since
been supplied by various preachers.
Rev McFerran preached here for
two Sundays and had charge of the
union outdoor service one evening
and was received with unusual inter
est and appreciation each time. He
created favorable impression during
his stay here and the church is to be
congratulated upon their success in Sc
curing the services of so sincere and
able a man to take charge of their
work Rev. McFerran has just closed
a most successful pastorate of several
years duration at the Terre Haute
Presbyterian church and it is gener-
ally conceded by those who heard him
preach that he is one of the ablest
speakers who ever occupied the pull
pit of the local church. We join with
the Presbyterians and whole commun-
ity in extending to the new pastor a
warm welcome to our city and sincere
wishes for great results from his
work.
With the calling of pastor by the
First Presbyterian church, and the
coming of the new Baptist minister,
Rev. A. o. Broyles, who will begin his
work as pastor of the local church
next Sunday, the corps of clergy is
made once more complete with the
exception of the Congregational pas
tor. Rev. A. C. Kaye, whose resigna-
ton will take effect the last of Sep.

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 27.-Tne
average daily temperature of the past
week was to degrees below the
normal, and sunshine was generally
above the average. Light to heavy
showers occurred on Monday in the
northern section, but in the larger
part of the state the weather was dry,
fair and cool. In portions of the
western districts rain is needed for
the growing crops and to soften the
soil for blowing.
On the whole, it was a very good
week for farm work, and not detri-
mental to me crops. Good progress
has been made in -ackilg and thresn-
ing small grain and good beginning
has been made in fall blowing. Re
ports indicate generally light yield
and weight of oats. Winter and spring
wheat and barley are fair in yield and
quality of grain. Corn has made fair
ly good advancement, though the
nights were too cool for tle rapid
growth which is desired for the be
lated portion of the crop. Pastures
are in good condition and the mead
ows show fine growth of aftermath.

NEW KIND OF GOLD NINE.

''In the Appalachian mountains there
are 100000 white people wholly UNI
educated and illiterate, 100000 of
whom can neither read nor write,and
we should feel a Christian and hui
man obligation to them" said Mrs.
Gielow to reporter during her Chau-
tauqua engagement in oskaloosa
They are our American reserves, -
our unmined gold. While we are
searching for gold in the Klondike,
we ought to be digging gold out of
the Appalachian mountains.
Mrs. Gielow explained that 1t takes
only $50 year to support a girl in
one OF the Industrial schools founded
for these mountaineers, and the aim
of the Southern Industrial Educational
Association, of which Mrs. Gielow was
founder and organizer and is now
president-general, is to secure 100000
people to give 81 year to support
several missionaries and schools for
these 100000 people. Mrs. Gielow
is a, resident of Greensboro, Ala, and
known as the Flower of Southland"
but she refused to discuss the negro
problem. She is a lover of the old
time negro nanny. but does not
spend her time in working with the
negro race OF today. Her work is
with the poor, degraded whites

ELEPHANT BALKED,
REFUSED TO ALLOW THE PRO-
CEssIoN TO GO ON UNTIL
HE GOT RELIEF.

While not caring to enter into the
controversy between Pres. Roosevelt
and the nature fakirs," reliable wit
nesses vouch for the truth of the
following story of an incident exhib-
itlng unmistakable intelligence on the
part of one of the big elephants with
the Barnum & Bailey circus which
occurred while on their way to the
train after the closing performance In
the city Monday evening.
AS the long procession of wagons
and animals wended their way along
the road from the fair grounds to the
Iowa Central tracks, where the large
force of workmen were busily engaged
in loading the paraphernalia on the
cars, one of the larger African jumbos,
who had been meekly following in
his turn, began to trumpet and kick
most stubbornly. The big, awkward
creatures have a peculiar habit of
locking tails and trunks with each
other, making one long continuous
chain of elephants from the little ba-
bies in front to the worlds champion
heavyweight in the rear, and when
one stops, the whole line of march is
broken, and the procession came to a
standstill as the protesting brute stood
still and snorted.
Once again the march continued af-
ter considerable coaxing. but little
progress was made before repetition
of the baking occurred, and, more
stubborn than ever, the whole string
of elephants, extending for several
blocks, refused to take another step.
1t requires unusual stubbornness to
surpass the power the circus trainers
have over their wild animals, but new
ertheless all, efforts to persuade the
elephants to move at that time were
for while fruitless until one of the
men walked up to the big jumbo who
seemed to be at the bottom of the
trouble. AS he approached the ami
NAL, 1t put out it's monstrous foot and
extending it towards him showed
large nail which had pierced the
tough hide on its foot and caused con-
siderable pain. When the nail was
removed, the elephants complied in
their customary submissive manner
to the orders of their masters and the
work of transporting the circus to the
trains was continued without break.

MRS. COOLEY GOT
COVETED DOLLAR
AND SHE PROBABLY WENT TO
THE CIRCUS WITH 1T.
JUSTICE WITH OUT A TRIAL.
Man Went Into Court in An Effort
to Retain the Coin, But His
Wife Was Too Sly
For Him.

Capt. Woodruff didn't have the
nerve to make the arrest and his con-
stable wasn't there, so the woman
went on her way unmolested and re-
joicing with her coveted dollar clutch
ed tightly in her hand and her hen
pecked husband still trembling with
fear and wonder in the Justices office.
Chas. Cooley, colored man from near
Colon, was the oppressed man and
he first attracted the attention of Es-
quire Woodruff when he came stumb-
ling up the office stairs Monday with
his wife following close after his heels.
you don't need to think it's goin' to
do you any good to go up there and
get those white trash to sympathize
with you," she repeated as they as
cended the steps, and, adding in each
case quite emphatically, Just you
give me that dollar!" When, they
reached the office Charlie. tried to ex-
plain his story and was telling how
his wife was insisting that he must
give her a dollar, but he couldn't af-
ford to do it.
Mrs. Cooley was not at all embar-
raised by the presence of the hon
ored officer of the peace, and she
spared no harSh words in her denun-
Citations of her husbands stories. I'm
able to rule him by words alone she
followed her man to where ne stool by
the side of Capt. Woodruff and slap
ped him quite severely across the face
with her open hand, which made him
curl away quite obediently. Here
the justice was compelled to interfere
and had his constable been present,
he vowed he would have sent the
woman to jail, but ne Gained her
down and she finally dropped her price
to fifty cents and said she would leave
when she got her money. Her abused
husband felt in his pocket, where the
big coveted dollar lay, and asked Mr..
Woodruff if he could give him some
change. The justice was running his
hand down his deep pocket to COM
ply with the request and Charlie laid
the dollar on the desk. But no sooner
had he released his hold on it than
the sly little woman made a grab
and was off and down the stairs be-
fore the two men could realize that
she had taken the money and was on
her way,-probably to the circus. They
watched her through the window and
then the Captain laughed.

THE START OF THE STRIKE.

Il guess my reputation will stack
up against yours"
When ]. E. Ryan, sitting at his key
in the Los Angeles central Office OF
the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
licked off that bit of airy persifage
TO Mrs. Sadie Nichols, Oakland, he
little dreamed of the momentous con.
sequences to follow.
In less than ~ hours nations
business has become paralyZed, thou
sands of men and women are out OF
employment, and untold wealth may
BE sacrificed through the unforeseen
results of those bantering words.
Ryan stated that the woman had
licked off a terse liar" directed at
him. The diplomatic challenge fol,
lowed.
Supt. Lamb, the arbiter, said he
would take the word of non-union
employee in preference to the word
of any union operator.
Ryan was discharged for using
insulting language" to Mrs. Nichols.
His fellow operators demanded his
reinstatement.
1t was denied. They went out on
strike. Eastern operators refused to
take messages from Los Angeles
"scabs" They were discharged-un-
til now the entire telegraph service of
the country is tied up.
Ryan has been an operator for 81
years without a reprimand against
his record.
