Soldiers Due August 10th
Fort L~eavenworth, Kas.,
July 8, 1910,

rOrt mas,
Is. July 8, 1910.
The Postmaster, 70.
Marshall, Mo. l.,
Sir Il have the honor to inform
you that Company ~" 3rd Bat
talon of Engineers, from Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas will arrive
in your town probably a little be
fore noon ON August 10, 1910 and
will camp there mi night. We
will have two officers, one hum
dred and twenty men and forty
eight horses and mules. Will you
kindly inform the merchants of
your town that l will be in the
market for the following: n
About $50 lbs, of hay.
About 500 lbs. of oats.
About 12O lbs of potatoes &
onions.
About 1-3 cord of stove wood.
The company mess will be glad
to buy any fresh vegetables or
melons in quantities large enough
to feed the whole company. The
company exchange will probably
desire to buy about one five gal
lon freezer of ice cream, ice cream
cones and from three to five cases
of soda pop and ginger ale. If
there is to be a ball game in town
the exchange will need about
double the amount. AS the guam
tity of supplies to be purchased
is not great, it is not thought ad
visible to ask for formal bids.
will purchase the supplies after
arriving in town at the prevail
ing market price. The camp sites
l desire to select in person and
will precede the company to town
for that purpose. Information al
tc two or three possible Locations
for the camp, will however be OF
great assistance. I hope this year
to get ar allotment sufficient tc
allow me to pay the uniform rate
of $500 per camp site for one
night and $500 for two nights
The animals will be kept tied t.
the picket line unless special per.
mission is given us to allow then
TO, Craze.
Information as to the names Of
the merchants who can furnish thu
above supplies and owners Of pos.
sible camp sites will be appreciat.
ed also the name of the local bass
ball manager.
Very Respectfully;

pseimaIs and puodseimaIs.

Herbert Spencer offered a character
istically original system of reckoning.
He chung to the duodecimal system,
mainly because twelve can be divided
by three and four as ten cannot. But
he suggested that all the advantages
Of both systems might be combined by
making twelve the basis Of calculation,
inventing two new digits to take the
places Of ten and eleven and making
twelve times twelve the hundred.
Spencer scornfully remarked that the
decimal system rests solely on the fact
that man has ten fingers and ten toes.
If he had had twelve "there never
would have been any difficulty"

INapoIeon's Temper.

A story is told Of a sudden rage into
which Napoleon l. fell one day as he
was at dinner. He had scarcely par
taken Of a mouthful when apparently
some %inopportune thought or recollec-
ton stung his brain to madness, and,
receding from the table without rising
from his chair-his small stature per-
mitted that-he uplifted his foot-dash
went the table, crash went the dinner,
and the emperor sprang up, intending
to pace the room. Quick as a flash his
waiter scratched a few magic symbols
on a bit Of paper. and the emperor's
check had grown more than double.
Napoleon appreciated the delicacy Of
his attendant and said. THANK you.
my dear Dunand," with n OF his In
imitabie smiles. The hurricane had
blown over.

able to conquer. but she seems to me
mild. benignant even. in comparison
with New York. The face Of the Lon

Central M. E. Church.

The fine spring weather Of Sunday
brought out a large attendance at
Sunday school and 443 were recorded
This is a decided advance on last
year. At the public service and after
a splendid anthem by the choir Dr.
Allen preached from the text in EZe-
kiel, 1918. And say, Thus saith the
Lord God; Woe to the women that
sew pillows to all armholes." The
subject of his discourse was "At ease
in Zion" and the sermon was plain
and pointed definition of the results
which attend the thoughtless and in
different. During the service DR.. AL
len spoke in feeling way regarding
the recent decease of Bishop Spell
meyer. The Bishop presided at the
last session of the Iowa conference
and won the love and regard Of all
who knew him. DR.. Spellmeyer was
elected bishop from the passionate and
this was an unusual honor and this
in itself was an eloquent tribute to
his great ability as an orator and
scholar.
The Epworth League service In the
evening was well attended and was
led by Harry l.. Dole, of the Holiness
University. The subject was How
to be Strong" Special music was en-
ioyed. as a splendid vocal duet, "Je-
sus Alone for Me-" was rendered by
Mr. Patton and Miss Buckingham, of
the University. At the public ser
vice in the evening, DR.. J. A. Spyker,
of the Oskaloosa College, occupied
the pulpit and he preached from the
subject, THE Profitableness of Re-
ligion." The vocal duet, which was
rendered at the Epworth League
service by Mr.. Patton and Miss Buck
ingham, was repeated by special re-
quest and was greatly enjoyed by the
audience. DR.. Spyker selected his
text from Job, 2l:15 What is the AL
mighty, that we should Serve Him ?
and What Profit Should we have, II
we pray unto Him." The sermon
took up the popular question. What
better is a man for being Religious?'
and showed how from every stand
point it was to the advantage of man
to live a Christian life.
DR.. Allen has been granted a short
leave of absence and will be absent
from the pulpit one Sunday. DR.. c. L.
Stafford, the district superintendent.
will be in Oskaloosa on Sunday, Mar,
90. and will conduct the Holy Com
munion In the morning and will
preach in the evening. On Easter
Sunday DR.. Allen will be present and
will take up the annual offering of the
church for missions. Members will
also be received on probation and by
letter. This is one of the important
days of the year and the church will
no doubt equal II not excel their
preyious record

AT the first regular monthly meeting
Of the mems organization of the Chris

was chosen and hereafter the club will

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From
Pulpit and Sactuary.
Friends Church.

The services Sunday were perne-
ated with the revival spirit. Prof.
Hockett sang as a solo The Song
That Touched My Heart" and the
chorus sang the hymn anthem,
Abide With Mel adopted by w. E.
Brown. Rev. Dell spoke upon the
subject: Practical Christianity; APP
piled Religion" The value OF the
ory depends upon Its use. Too many
spend their time looking upon the
Christ bleeding upon the cross, when
they should be seeing the hungry, the
sick, the needy. Not that we should
look less at the Christ, but more at
the suffering about us. The church
has duty to the strangers who are
longing for the merest word of greet
ing and encouragement. Do not leave
it for the indifferent world The
church of Christ should take the lead,
The liquor saloon has no place in
Mr.. Dells estimation. 1t would be
easier to legislate to stop the liquor
traffic than to organize to feed and
clothe its victims.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Dell
spoke to large company of men
upon THE Men God Would Have Us
Be-"
At the evening session the male
quartette, made up Of Hockett. Purdy,
Lewis and Farr, sang That Far
Away Land" Rev. Dell spoke from
Daniel, 5-27. Our record now stands
upon the Books of God and we may
know whether we are measuring up
to the standard set by God for lives.
Though not under the regime of the
law, yet the ten commandments make
q splendid and true standard by which
TO measure our lives. If we crowd
God out of our lives He will some day
crowd us out of Heaven. Life may
be filed ever so full of good things,
yet If the love of God is not there it
is failure.
The meetings will continue till
Wednesday night. Not for many
years has as strong a speaker held
meetings at Penn. Only the best OF
results can result from the teach
ing and preaching.
