WATERLOO WANTS SUNDAY.
Churches Unite in Extending Invitation
to Evangelist.

Waterloo, Nov. 17.-Wateroo is to
experience season of William Asley
Sunday evangelism. That is, this state
ment is true if arrangements can be
made with the noted divine to visit this
city and devote a month or more of his
time here to the work In which he
has been so eminently successful.
Following conference of the minis
tiers of the city, the session continuing
the greater part of the day, there was
unanimity among the men Of cloth and
the several laymen present that an eff
fort should be made to have the Rev.
Mr.. Sunday come to Waterloo OF one
of his evangelistic campaigns. To that
end a committee of ministers and lay
ment went to Cedar Rapids, where
Sunday is now engaged in a series of
meetings, and it was the intention Of
the delegation to induce the divine to
come to Waterloo as soon as his adj
vanced bookings would permit.
1t is understood that the time of Mr..
Sunday is fully engaged for the re-
mainder of this year and possibly sew
eral engagements have been promised
for 1910. 1t will at least be several
months before red hot campaign
with all the "Billy" Sunday attractive
ness can be commenced in Waterloo.
About a year ago it was proposed to
make an effort to have Mr. Sunday
come to this city, but at that time
there was some opposition to union
evangelistic meeting and the plan was
abandoned for the time being.

Time in Its History.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls. Nov. 17.--This cit.
joined the dry" communities in this
state, last evening, when the three re
naming druggists in this city holding
permits surrendered them to the clerk
of the courts and went out of the
decree of Judge Albrook granting an
injunction enjoining these druggists
from longer dispensing liquors.
Prior to this time. the other two
druggists went thru the mill and We're
enjoined, so that now the city is as
dry as the proverbial powder horn and
a new territory has been opened up
for the operation Of the omnipresent
wholesale liquor agent. This condition
of affairs is due to the activity of the
local w. G. I. u. and the anti saloon
league of Iowa. and 1t Is stated this
is only the forerunner of what is to
follow over the county and eventually
over the state, as it is stated those
behind the movement propose to con-
tinue the fight until every permit in
Iowa is surrendered.
Under the present pharmacy law, it
is alleged it is practically impossible
for druggist to sell liquor legally and
so there can be but one answer and
that is eventually to surrender his
permit.
This is the first time in the history
of the city that it has gone dry" and
under the new order of things the in

People of Village and Country in Con-

Special to Times-RepubMcan.
Boone. Nov. 17-Berkeley, a thriv-
ing country town in Boone county,
just now is in the throes of a school
fight, all over the location Of new
building. Some time ago a lot was
purchased for new school house. At
Berkeley small stream runs Just east
of the town and the old school house
was across the creek in what was
really rural location. 1t is said that
of the thirty eight pupils in the school
eight come from the rural side Of the
creek and the other thirty from the
town side. The rural folks want the
school house erected on the old site
and the town people claiming a super
iority of numbers regarding pupils
claim that the school house should be
erected in the town. The little village
is divided and both sides are striving
to have favorable action.
The case was called Tuesday before
County Superintendent r. r. Cobb and
many people were over from Berkeley
testifying on both sides of the case.
One of the reasons for the bitter fight
is that at certain periods Of the year
this creek is like q raging river and
it is extremely dangerous for children
crossing it several times a day. The
town people on this claim alone base
high hopes.
