Mason City, April S0.-The story OF a
thrilling ride on the pilot of an en-
CINE on the Milwaukee road. by john
ny Hogan. the 5-year-old son of Mr..
and. Mrs. Michael Hogan, Of Calmar,
is told by Engineer Swanson, of the
passenger service. The little fellow,
unnoticed by the engineer. clambered
on the pilot Of the big machine while
the stop was made at Calmar. While
.'oiling round Engineer Swanson no.
ticed four or five little fellows about
his engine and also noticed that the
smallest of the number was in front
on the track. AS the engineer got
back into the cab it is believed the
youngster clambered on the pilot, and
got firm hold of q brace rod, for few
moments after the engineer got into
his cab. She signal for the start was
given.
The track west Of Calmar for six or
eight miles Is sharp decline, and in a
very few feet the train begins moving
at the rate of fifty miles per hour, and
gradually Increases that speed before 1t
reaches the bottom of the grade. Be
ing behind time, the engine was allowed
to do her best. About six miles out,
the train came up to a group of sec
ton men, who noticed the object on
the pilot and signaled the engineer to
stop. Great was his CONSERVATION to
find the little chap with his feet on
the lower frame of the cowcatcher, mis-
hands tightly grasping the Stats OF
the frame, partly lying face down and
seemingly enjoying the ride. As the
engineer accosted him he laughed IN
glee and lisped Hat hat" meaning
that he wanted to find his hat, which
had blown off. The boy YVES taken from
his position into the cab, taken to Fort
Atkinson and placed in the care OF the
agent to be returned to his parents.

CHURCH UNION UNCERTAIN.
Sioux Association of Congregational
Churches Regards It Unf> .oraby.

Sioux Association of Congregational
Churches Regards It Unf> yorably.
Sioux City, April S0.--f the action of
the Sioux Association of Congregation
al churches, held at Sloan this week is
an indication, the union of the Congre-
gational, United Brethren and Metho-
dist Protestant churches. recently pro-
posed in Chicago, will never be per-
fected. AT least the three denomi,a-
tions will have to agree upon different
basis of consolidation than the one
now proposed, If they are united.
!, The delegates to the Sloan meeting,
after hearing report on the union eff
fort by DR.. w. A. Waterman, acting
pastor of the First Congregational
church, who attended the Chicago
meeting, voted unanimously that under
the present circumstances they did not
favor the proposed union on the basis
adopted in Chicago. Similar action was
taken by the Denmark association of
this state 1t will also come up at the
state meeting at Grinnell next month.
DIR. Waterman, who is national del
egate to the general council on the tri-
union of the churches, at Cleveland. o.,
in October, is decidedly opposed to the
movement as launched.
One Of the greatest factors in the
opposition of the Congregational
church is the title decided upon. that
Of the United Church of America. In
this the Congregational church. which
is one of the Oldest in America, would
lose its identity. while that of the
United Brethren is still sustained in
the word United" 1t is unlikely that
the Congregational delegates will ever
agree to this change.
Another question is that Of church
property, the Congregational church
holding far more than the other two
denominations combined. The Congre-
gationalists have a large number OF
institutions for the propagation of their
ideas and as the money which was
given to found them was donated to.
trustees with this idea in view heirs
OF contributors might apply to the
courts for the reverting Of the money
to the states. Millions of dollars In
property would be lost if this should
be done.

ton was very successful. quite num-
