Miller Brothers Stock company and
the Wicoss-Drew Stock company.
The Miller Brothers company which
Is under the management OF John
Miller, resident manager OF the Grand
opera house, will play under canvas
this season. They will open their sum-
Imer's engagement here, commencing
May q with a three nights engage
Iment at the Grand. The company
will play Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and nelghboring states this summer.
The Miller Brothers Stock is one of
the best on the road and in their five

reputation. Besides Mr.. Miller, J. F.
Jersey and Blaine Whipple are inter

SHARPLESS' LECTURE
President of Haverford College
Visits Oskaloosa.

The Friends services at Penn chap
ell were conducted by DR.. Isaac Sharp
less, President of Haverford college
Pennsylvania. His lecture at the
morning service, "Quakerism and Nor
al Reforms" was the second of a
series of four, which he is delivering
on Quakerism to the Friends col
leges of the west.
The history of Friends shows that
from the time of George Fox to the
present they have been active in NOR
al reforms. The early Quaker reform.
ers in England showed a steadfast
ness and courage that impressed
church and government alike and in
the end accomplished their purpose.
In America Friends have been fore
most in prison reforms, granting OF
educational privileges, giving hospital
care to the insane, abolition of slav-
cry and promulgating the doctrine OF
peace. The success Of their efforts is
already a matter of history in all save
the question of peace, and in regard
to this the present day holds bright
promise for what the future will give.
The mission of the Friends to realize
the need of reforms and to see and
apply the remedy is not past. Both
English and American Friends are
working with the laboring classes to
try to do away with class hatred and
to teach the brotherhood of man.
At the evening service DIR. Sharp
less spoke on the subject, "Quakerism
and Creed" Both morning and ev-
ening services were well attended and
good interest was manifest.

Mrs. Mallory, president of the insti.
tuition, owned $4,000 and Mrs. Thayer,
one of the directors, $4,000 of the
banks stock. The receiver showed that
Mrs. Mallory had drawn $4,000 since
