the little church was built on 4th

State, was secured by the con.
gregation here at $4,000 per
week, he being preacher and
carpenter, went to work, preach
ing at night and working at the
carpenter trade during the day.
During the following year a
preacher by the name of John
Hurd was employed by the
Church as Pastor; he remained
but a short time, and the WIN
Ter of 1889, j. B. Vauter, who
was State Evangelist at the
time, held the most successful
meeting ever held in this city

Church was without a regular
Pastor, but Dr.. Carter, who was
at that time a practicing physi-
clan in Council Bluffs, and also
an able preacher, was employed
to preach on Sundays. l do not

perhaps one year. During this
time Evangelist Speck, assisted
by Singer Birdsell, was en-

tent on the same lot near the
Church. The Church paid the
singer Birdsell $500 per week,
and expenses, end Evangelist

rich in the meeting here. There
were some 80 additions to the
Church during these meetings.
Sometime after this meeting,
j. L. Reed, a young student of
Drake University, became pas

one or two years. After this, a
young man by the name of Mel

GOES TO HAMPTON, IA
Manager Tanner of the Creamery
Leaves 0skaloosa.

F. l.. Tanner, who came to Oska-
loosa about two years ago to take
charge of the Oskaloose Creamery,
has resigned his place as manager Of
the local plant, and on April will go
to Hampton to take charge of the
.Gurley-Barth Creamery business.
The Oskaloosa plant has been well
managed by Mr.. Tanner and it is now
in the best condition it has been since
the plant was built. The local COM
pany is loath to part with Mr. Tan
ner, but the opening at Hampton is
better than could be offered him here.
The Gurley-Barth people own a string
of ereameries and Mr.. Tanners
chances of promotion with the com
pany are better than they could be
with an independent concern.
Mrs. Tanner and their daughter will
likely remain in 0skaloosa several
months, or until Mr.. Tanner finds a
suitable residence in Hampton. Dur
ms thSh stay ho4C tAS fanny hoo
made many friends who will regret to
have them leave Oskaloosa, Mr..
Tanner will remain with the local
plant until the first of the month and
meantime someone win be secured
to assume the management. The best
of good wishes and good win OF all
connected with the creamery will go
with Mr.. Tanner 10 his new location.

.INTHE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.

After being out just seven hours the
Jury returned at SIS O'Clock Friday
evening with a verdict in the damage
suit of Mrs. Adelia B. Davies vs.. ex-
Constable George Andrews in which
they allowed the plaintiff damages in
the sum of $500 on the count OF al
lleged malicious prosecution. The ver-
dict read as follows: w

ant Robt. a. Kent, and we further
find for the plaintiff Adelia B. Davies
against George Andrews, defendant,
and we assess the amount of plaintiffs
recovery at $500. ~ q
ID. Il. Whitehill, foreman"
Special interrogatories offered by
the court were answered by the jury
as follows: y,@f
do you find by a preponderance of
the evidence that the defendant An
drews without probable cause made
complaint before the Justice of the
Peace, L. M. Bacon, charging the de-
PENDANT with the crime of lewdnessg'
Answer; Yes" .,. ~
III you have answered interrogatory
No. L in the Affirmative, then state
whether or not the defendant Andrews
in making the said complaint acted
with malice?" Answer: Yes"
This verdict followed long trial OF
over a weeks duration. AS the case
Jnow stands the defendant must pay
the judgment OF $500 and costs, but
further motions will undoubtedly be
filed in the next few days to retax the
costs or for a new trial.

WHAT CAUSED SHOCK
Was 1t the Meteor That Disturbed
the Elements?

One week ago last Sunday evening
there was witnessed an unusual astro-
nominal phenomena in Oskaloosa, in
the nature OF a large meteor or fall
ing star" which from all appearances
would have struck the earth southwest
of the city AT the same time numer-
Gus people report that they felt q
shock or jar similar to that of a min
iature earthquake which made them
believe that the falling body had eth
er struck the earth and caused the
jar or else exploded in the air near
the earth. At any rate scores of peo-
Iple will swear to the fact that they
felt the shock at the time the brilliant
meteor was witnessed, which was
about 10 O'Clock at night. Every eff.
fort possible was made by the Herald
to locate the source of the shock, but
without avail. One of the weekly AL.
bia papers, however, contains the fol.
lowing dispatch from Tyrone, Iowa,
which would indicate that there was
some truth in the report, although the
source OF the quake coule not be 10,
Gated there: -..
Tyrone, Ia. March 1.ALast night
between the hours Of midnight and one
O'Clock a. M, terrific explosion
awakened the citizens Of this place
lIt was Of such force as to jar this
buildings and rattle dishes and Other
loose objects, The explosion was
heard at Georgetown and Iconium. Ar
inquiry over the telephone to Mystic
Iowa, developed the fact that the
Earring motion and sounds came to
that point from a soutClwesterly direc
ton, but parties in that town who had
made inquiry failed to locate the place
Tor cause of the disturbance. Every
thing indicates, however, that the eX
plosion must have been terrific, owing
to the fact that Georgetown lies be
tween eighteen and twenty miles due
north OF Mystic. ..
