Rushtou Has Returned.

B. F. Rushton, the young white con-
vict who escaped so mysteriously from
the chaingang about two weeks ago
just before heavy rain and thunder
storm, returned to camp last Thursday
to serve out the remainder Of his sen-
tence of eight months for forgery,
after spending week with his wife
and children near Saluda. Rushton
told Capt. Mack upon his return that
he was just obliged to see his family
and that he made no attempt to 60
further than his home. He said he
cut his shackles with the axe he car
ried off with him presumably to get
wood, and that he wore suit OF
clothes belonging to one; of the ne
groes. When he left he was the cook
and 'trusty." but is now shoveling
dirt along with the other convicts,
Capt. Mack being of the opinion that
Rushton might want to make another
visit to his family soon.
With the return of Rushtou, this
leaves only two men to escape from
the gang under the new management,
and both Of them were TRUSTEES"
having only few more months to

School Trustees.

To the County Supt. of Education.
Dear Sir:-I send you, herewith, a
copy of the Attorney Generals opin-
ion as to the appointment of school
trustees. Section 1910 of the code
was amended in 1903, 1904. and 1908,
and the contradictions in the several
amendments could not be harmoniDed
without this ruling.
In consequence of this opinion, there
will be no appointment of school trus-
tees this year except in case of va
cancies by resignation, death or some
other cause.
Yours respectfully.
J. E. Swearingen.
State Supt. of Education.

Saturday Afternoon.

Mr. Sundays sermon Saturday aft
ternoon, preached to HOO people, was
based on the power of prayer. His text
was from Luke. NNII: Az Being in
agony, He prayed more earnestly"
The burden of his discourse was an
intensely earnest appeal to christians
to pray for the success of the few re-
naming services of the revival. that
it might eliminate gloriously for Mar
shalltown and that hundreds might yet
turn to the Lord.
The heat was intense in the taber-
nacle, the evangelist was greatly ia
tigued and his sermon, tho strong and
impressive. was comparatively brief.
No invitation was extended at the
close
After the meeting was dismissed Vet
eran A. Sutton. a member of the sol
oilers home worked his way to the
platform, sought out Mr. Sunday
shook hands With him for the first
time and told him he was member
of the same regiment. company and
mess of sixteen men as the evangel-
lists father in the civil war. and was
with him three months or over prior to
his death, the command being then
stationed at Pattersonvil1e Mo.

Saturday Miaht.

The subject of Mr.. Sundays Satur-
day night discourse was Christ's words
to the young lawyer. Thou are not
far from the kingdom Of God" He laid
particular stress upon the fact that so
many halt upon the very threshold Of
christianity but fail to- take the final
step and enter. He declared there was
not another city in Iowa so near the
kingdom of God today as Marshall
town
Mr. Sunday emphasized the fact that
people may possess everything else but
it is all of no avail unless they have
Christ. The reasonable man, he said,
is a christian. He had not appealed
to the sympathies of our people, but to
their intellect. and said no man was
farther from God than the one who is
Indifferent. Morality and virtue may
bring him near, but he must repent
and accept Christ before he can enter.
The speaker declared that people in
all lands were praying for the success
of the Marshalltown revival. The audi
ence numbered 1900 and thirty-six
professed conversion.
