Rapids; Rev. HI. w. Troy, of Marion,
and President King, Of Cornell College,
Mt Vernon.
1t was at first feared that DR.. King
would not be chosen as the friends OF
Upper Iowa University were insisting
on electing President Shanklin. which
they succeeded in doing. The elec-
ton today of DIR. King was happy So
luton Of the situation that had engen-
dered some feeling between the friends
Of the two schools.
This afternoon the delegates are Wis
iting the normal schools There are
many rumors In the air as to changes
in the appointments. but nothing DEL
mite is known yet. The appointments
will probably be announced at noon
Monday.
Yesterday was one of the most excit-
ing and intensely interesting days OF
the entire sessions Of the Upper Iowa
conference, and from early morning
until late in the afternoon there was
something doing in the churches Wnere
audiences were assembled, on the
.streets where ministers or lay dele-
vAtes or visitors or casual stray citl-
,szens were to be found, there was earn
sest. convincing argument ana OF all the
splans or efforts made by politicians
Office the work Of the day Will
gstand in the lead. The sessions We're
9long and tedious but the six lay dele
gates to the general conference nave
Deen elected as follows: I. j. B. Rop-
Snson. banker of Hampton; e. J. Es-
gate. banker, Marion: S. NJ. Weaver,
fof Iowa Falls, judge of the supreme
bench of Iowa; ]. J. Clark, attorney OF
Mason City; J. E. Park, of the Daven-
4 port district; Robert Raines OF nde-
| pendence.
Among the active workers on the
floor. many Of whom would have peen
delighted with an election but who
were working hard for their speclal
candidates. were bankers, lawyers, far
mers. merchants, laborers and mechan-
les. all interested in the results.
The ministerial delegation was not
;;comnleted but at the time Of adjourn
tment only three clergymen had peen
i ielected as delegates to the general con-
i ference They were 7. u. F1emlng OF

university. The remaining delegates
will he elected the first thing tomorrow
morning. Friday will be busy oay
! with the business remaining before the
laymen's association.
Ti2e intense strain Of the day was
broken last evening in most enjoy
able manner by banquet to Which
nearly 200 Of the ministers and laymen
with their wives we're invited, gwen
tsin the Congregational church for all
the alumni Of Cornell college. 1t was
bright and restful change from rou-
\ fine business and intermingled with
! the various courses were some very
clever toasts. Among the speakers
were some very distinguished guests:
Rishop William F. Mcdowell, of Cht-
capo. DR.. King president of Cornell
f 1,o1lepa Mt. Vernon; President II. H.
Seerlet. Iowa State Normal school;
Professor Freen, Professor Harlan,
prof. o. B. Waite, Attorney ]. j..

eral others.
A very happy feature OF the social
Cornell reunion last evening was the
introduction to the audience assem-
hled of Mrs. Hawn, wife of the retired
Rev. Mr.. Hawn, of Mt. Vernon, VINO
was the first young woman student
ever registered at Cornell College. Her
maiden name was Miss Hayzlett.
DR.. crippen Retires.
After fifty-four successive years of
ministry, Dr. ]. T. Crippen, field agent
of Cornell College, steps aside from
the active ranks Of the Upper Iowa
conference. In 1873 he came by tire s.
fer to Iowa from New York. Since
his coming to Iowa, DR.. Crippen has
served as pastor six years. as presid-
ing elder sixteen, and as field agent OF
Cornell College twelve years, and now
steps aside, possessing in an eminent
degree the respect, confidence and
love ct the members Of his conference.
Twice. they have honored him by an
election as a delegate to the general
conference. DIR. Crippen has probably
dedicated more churches and raised
more money at dedications than any
other minister in Iowa. In q recent
letter to friend over whom he has
welded a great influence. he charae-
teristically wrote, my health is pre-
carious. am we'll down toward the
