1t was with much regret that the
members Of the Congregational
church accepted the resignation of
their pastor, Rev. A. B. Keller, last
Sunday morning. So much that they
rendered him call to remain with
them another year. It is earnestly
hoped that he will reconsider his
action and remain with us.

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, in the providence of
God" our dearly beloved sister,
Mrs. Ira Clark, has been removed
by death from our midst, and we
feel forcibly the truth of the old
maxim, I'VE know not the true
value Of our blessings until we are
deprived of them" for seldom, if
ever, is the full influence of moral
worth felt, while it moves among us
in its tenement of clay.
or all the changes that come over
us, none are more sad, than finding
some face beloved, hath vanished
from the social hearth, some tones,
that gladdened it with music's
mirth. Well might we wonder why
we were placed here on this little,
dark planet to struggle with sorrow
awhile, and then pass away, did not
faith point out to US home in the
skies, an unchasging home, where
the rainbow never fades" and no
change comes DER affections glow?
Dreams cannot picture a world so
fair,
Sorrow and death may not enter
there"
Therefore, be it resolved. that we

Governor Cnmmins, in his cam
paign for denomination and reelec-
ton, gave the people Of Iowa to dis
tinctly understand that he favored
the reelection of Senator Dolliver.
He made speech to that effect in
the Senator's home county, and had
the support Of the delegation from
that county in the last republican
state convention. That was the
position Of the Governor a few
months ago, but a few days ago he
publically announced, that while he
was not a candidate for the position
of United States Senator, he would
not refuse to accept if the job was
offered to him.

The Jackaon Day Banquet at Waterloo

The democrats of Blackhawk
county are enterprising and enthu.
siastic, and entitled to more than or
binary credit for the manner in
which they managed the recent
-.,ackson DAY celebration at Water
loo.
The banquet menu was all that
could be desired, the attendance was
good and the speeches inspiring.
Hon. w. N. Birdsall presided as
toastmaster, and was more than
equal to the duties Of the position.
Ex-Governor Horace Boies was
not present, owing to his being OBJ
liged to start for California the day
before, but his response to the toast,
Currency Reform, was read by an
other when his number was reached.
Toasts were responded to at length
by Gen. j. B. Weaver, @. H. Platen
burg, J. B. Sullivan, e. NJ. Carr, j.
d. Dennison, Geo. Il. Rinehart and
Judge M. J. Wade. Mr.. Platenburg
acted as substitute for Mr.. Sells,
who was unable to be present and
kept the house in roars of laughter
while he was talking.
1t was long past midni ght when
Toastmaster Birdsall concluded the
feast of reason by reading the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Bryan:
Lincoln, Neb.. Dec. 18TH, 1906.
w. N. Birdsall, Esq, Waterloo, Ia.

LYNCH LAW IN IOWA.
Psychological Analysis Of the Mob,

James Cullen, who murdered his
wife and step-son, was hung by a
mob at Charles City, on Tuesday
night of last week. According to
the press dispatches the crowd that
did the deadly work was composed
of men, women and children, and
included among its number no less
than four ministers Of the gospel.
Cullen, according to all reports,
was a man Of violent temper, was
hacking in moral understanding,
and was but few removes if any
from the condition known as de-
generative insanity. That, how
ever, furnished no valid reason for
killing him the same as he had
killed others, and the acts of the
Charles City mob will long remain
as stain upon the people Of that
place.
1t is difficult to understand the
makeup Of o lynching mob. All
individuality seems to be merged
into q single mind, with its moral
level far below the minds of the
persons who constitute the composite
aggregation.
The motives and conduct of the
mob are those of utter savagery,
and as all men in savage state are
much the same, there is little diff
ference between any Of the men,
hers of a mob. Thousands Of years
ofedncation have made differences
between men, acquired differences,
differences due to civilization, but
the moment a person takes place
in mob the civilized veneer comes
of and for the time being the indi-
vidual becomes a savage once more
1t would seem as though by force
Of suggestion or some sort OF con.
tagion, respectable individuals are
drawn. into mobs, and while in o
sort of hypnotic condition, with
their objective mind in allegiance
and their subjective minds active
they do things which would be alb.
-Aorent and repulsive to them wher
outside of the sphere Of crowd in
fuence.
But no matter what may be the
antecedents Of the members Of {
mob. for the time being they ART
savages and it is well known fac,
that most all savages are cowardly
as we'll as cruel. If some sheriff
would give his prisoner repeating
shot gun and a hundred cartridges
along with a couple Of good revolv
ers, the.chances are that the mol
would become panic-stricken wher
confronted by a we'll armed resolute
man fighting for his life. And es
pecially would this be true if half {
dozen Of the leaders Of the mol
should fall before the prisoner
gun.
A statute specially empowering
sheriff to arm his prisoner, when
murderous attack was being mad
upon him by mob, might produc
much desired results.

l.it most important office, that of
manager, by electing L. Sly in place

Vice-president-J B. Kenney,

maker at the same wages as lasl
year, j. G. 500 per month.

annual report which showed the
company in very prosperous con-
dition. 1t showed that the highest
average test during the year was 49o
in December 1905. The lowest test
was "a in May and July. The
highest price her hundred paid was
Sl.23 in November. The lowest
price paid was II cents in May.
The average amount Of milk re-
ceived per month in 1906 was 42O,-
SS2 lbs. The average per month in
1905 was :39S,sss lbs, gain of an
