Boone. May 1.-The biggest financial
canvass ever made in this city, was
drawn to a successful conclusion last
evening at $3.50 O'Clock when nearly
100000 was raised to bolster up the
local Y. M. G. A. and to raise the debt
from the building The workers had
spent a strenuous four days and when
the announcement was made late Fri
day night that the money had been
raised, a mighty cheer went I'D from
the conference tables. The campaign
was the most intense in the history of
the local Y. NJ G. A, was the statement
OF visitors to Boone. The local as
ISOLATION threw every effort into the
raising of this money, for if this sum
was not forthcoming by 10 o'clock
Friday evening. the local building
would have been closed up and dis
mantled.
But the people of Boone had an eye
to the future, and invested their money
wisely. The state association threw its
entire working force into this city,
Des MONIES pastors and well known
speakers We're here, the international
committee sent workers to Boone. the
Chicago and Northwestern COMPANY
responded nobly, and the great fight
was won. The people of Boone got out
and worked. and many women spent
the entire day on the streets, at the
depots, in the shops, etc, soliciting
pledges. From Des Moines came State
Secretary Magee, State Extension Sec
rotary Goodeli, President j. G. OImsted.
OF the State Association, United States
Pension Commissioner Wilcox, the
Rev. Medbury pastor of the Univer-
slty Place Church of Christ, etc. From
Chicago, came International Secretary
Day, and the Brotherhood of ST An
drews had a man here pleading for
the boys. William Jennings Bryan,
United States Senator Cummins, Uni
| ted States Senator Dolliver, and Theo-
dore P. Shonts, sent greetings and
their published letters helped quite
materially to boost the Y. NJ. C. A.
spirit.
There was lots of opposition to over
come, and local conditions made the
raise of this comparatively small sum,
task, difficult almost beyond belief
Hon. S. L. Moore, president Of the First
National Bank and Of the Security

IN charge and to him belongs in a
great measure the credit for the Sic
cess of the undertaking. The Y. M. G.
