BAPTIST MEETINGS BEGIN.
Rev. John w. Hoag, Of Lacrosse, Wis.,,
Speaks to Good Sized Audience.

SRVaNS " SoOo SlZS0 H00iStsSSs
The opening night of the revival
services at the Baptist church, brought
forth good sized audience. A large
chorus choir, under the leadership of
Mr.. "A. l.. Breaw, of Chicago, sang
several familiar hymns in very spir-
tied manner, and the preacher, Rev.
John w. Hoag, Of Lacrosse, Wis, gave
the Christian people present an address
that they will not soon forget.
"He that winneth souls is WISE" was
announced by the preacher as his text,
and for the next forty minutes the au-
dience listened to one of the most STIR
ring appeals to Christian men and
women to enlist in the business of saw
ing souls that has been heard in this
city in long time.
TN these days we have the evangel-
ical church and the evangelistic church.
The former of these has good men and
women, sound doctrines and vast
deal Of latent power, but the latter has
all the good to comment 1t that the
former has and in addition is commun-
tcating Its power to the end that the
world Is being improved. The need OF
the hour Is for evangelistic churches.
Some churches have a great many
empty seats In their Sunday night
meetings, but If you go to an evangel-
istic church you will find it filed. Ac-
cept the challenge Of the world and
match your God with the worlds god"
The evangelist was greatly pleased
with the spirit manifested turnout the
meeting, and predicted a most success
full outcome to the special efforts.

On th,. Side.

"The late Dr. William NJ. Stonehill,"
said college settlement worker. of
New York, was called the Bishop of
the Bowery. 1t was title Of affection.
The Bowery loved this good man.
HE sometimes used to laugh over
the naivete of his Bowery audiences.
He used to say that in their frequent
audible comments On his sermons they
reminded him Of the famous Duke of
Cambridge-the old duke, you know.
From his great pew the duke rum
bled out all sorts of remarks and crit
icisms every Sunday morning. 1t would
be- said DR.. StonehiIl, like this:
"Preacher-Let US pray
"Duke-By all means
preacher prays for rain.
"Duke-'No good In that so long as
the wind is in the east
Preacher (readIng)-Zaccheus stood
forth and said, 'E:ehold, Lord. the half
of my lands give to the poor"
"Duke-'Too much, too much. Don't
mind subscriptions, but can't stand
that
preacher quotes . certain COM
mandment.
"Duke-'Quite right quite right; but
very difficult sometimes
preacher quotes another command
ment, which need not be indicated.
"Duke-No, no. It was my brother

he was tired. He was a whimsical
sort Of chap, clever and likeable, and
with all sorts of odd ideas. Every one
liked him and tried to help him along,
but it was no go.
FINALLY one day some one suggested
to him that the trouble was he let his
mind dwell too much on whether or
not he was tired and that If he could
get that out of his head he would be
all right He took to that idea strong
ly.
mot long afterward he got into q
race. He didn't run much worse than
usual, but every one thought he was
going to do well, because just at about
the point where he usually curIed up
he began to laugh like anything. You
could see his face away across the
field. But he didn't end up much bet
ter.
When he finished, one of his friends
said: L thought you had that easy
when I saw you laughing. What hit
your
".Well' he answered. you fellows
were all telling me I'd run all right If
did something to take my mind off
the race. So I went to work and
learned two or three funny stories, and
when I began to get tired I thought
them over in my mind. That's what
made me laugh. But, say, as soon as !
had finished with them l felt just as
tired as ever l did

Marked Roadway Being Made in
Great Improvement For
Iowa Central
ENGINE is PLAcEl
Ono Hundred Fifty Horse Power Cor
Iiss is Set, and Line Skating Being
Put in Place, to Drive Machinery of
Big Shops = Operation Within Few
Weeks-Stoker a Success.

The new Iowa Central car shops, one
Of the biggest local improvements to
be made in this city this season, are
being pushed to q rapid completion,
and it now looks as tho within the
next few weeks active operations would
be commenced in the shops, with a
force Of men at least double what the
old shops accommodated.
The 15O-horse power Corliss engine.
which is to drive the machinery in the
new shops, was set Monday afternoon,
and today the line shafting is being put
in. Tomorrow work on the concrete
foundations for the different heavy
pieces of machinery used in car build
ing and repairing, will be begun.
With the completion of the new and
remodeled shops, the Iowa Central will
have one of the most complete and
modern car shops of any western road,
and one which every person in Mar
shalltown will point to with pride as
being in keeping with the progress and
development Of the city's manufacture
ing institutions.
Stoker Great Success.
The Strouse locomotive stoker, with
which many Of the heavy freight en-
gines on the Central have been
equipped, is proving in results all that
the inventor claimed for it, and Master
Mechanic Feeley declares the stokers,
to be entirely satisfactory.
The Strouse stoker is the invention
of former Marshalltown man and
Iowa Central engineer William Strouse,
now of Oskaloosa. The stoker is me-
chanical device that produces a saw
ing of fuel in firing locomotives lessons
the work of the firemen on the big en-
gines, and lengthens the life of the fire
box Of an engine. On engine No. So,
one OF the stokers has been given a
test during the entire winter. 1t is no
longer an experiment, and other en-
gines have been equipped and are be-
ing watched to note the results.
Master Mechanic Feeley said Of the
test on the So, that the stoker had
showed a saving of 10 per cent in fuel
and fully that much in the life of the
engine. He also declared that the use
of the stoker greatly lessened the work
of the fireman. The engines on which
stokers are now in use are the so, 81,
SO and IS. 81 and 49,
Mr.. Strouse is now at work on an
device to feed the locomo-
tive. which. If it proves successful, will
further enhance the value Of the stok-
er. His idea is to provide the stoker
with an automatic attachment that, I'M
der the control Of the fireman, will feed
the firebox with any amount Of coal
the box can accommodate, from a
scoopful up.

New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Over Night.
A few months ago the dispensers of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided ITO allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Prev
ious to that time it could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
introduced to the drug trade in the
last thirty years. All leading drug
gists, including the Mcbride & Will
Drug Co., in Marshalltown, are now
carrying the special 50-cent size re-
Gently adopted, also the 50 jar
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in ecze-
ma cases poslam stops the itching with
first application, proceeds to heal i'm
mediately and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles,
such as pimples, blackheads, acne.
herpes, blotches. rash, etc, results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples of poslam are

game one afternoon. Mr.. Morse told US
story of sharp practice.
HE said there was a coach that
used to run between Nola Chucky
and Paint Rock, a matter Of some for
ty miles Far lunch the coach stopped
at half way house in Tin Can, and
here good 50-cent meal was put out
cake and pie, coffee and tea, and all
the cold meats you could mention.
But the landlord of the halfway
house had mean little secret dicker
with the driver, whereby, as soon as
the travellers had paid for their lunch
and got fairly settled to it, call
would come for an immediate start. So
off they'd all go grumbhng. They
have paid for SO cents worth of food
and only eaten, you see, about cents
worth.
But along came one day traveller
with sharp. bright eye. The land
lord found this chap, some ten min
utes after the coach had started on
again, still tucking in pie and ham at
terrible rate.
"'why, man., he said, you've let the
coach go without YOU

Suddenly the landlords face paled.

1.-The landlord sent .hostler on a
swift motor cycle OF to overtake the
coach and bring It back.
Well, in about forty minutes the
coach returned Then the sharp eyed
man came forth, wiping his mouth.
But he made no effort to identify the
suspicious looking passenger. Instead
he got aboard the coach, took his seat,
and said coolly:
Thanks, landlord, for the good
feed. You'll find your spoons and
things in the coffee pot. Now, driver,
off we go ag'in.'"
