LIGHTNING HITS PYTHIAN HALL
New Waterloo Temple Damaged Dur
ina Electrical Storm.

Waterloo, July 25.-The new Pythian
temple was struck by lightning Satur-
day night and a corner of the building
fell with crash which awoke the
neighborhood and flying brick terrified
several mail clerks who were viewing
the electrical storm from the rear OF
the postoffice. One stone weighing
probably ton was dislodged from its
place on the cornice besides ton or
more of brick which will probably take
several hundreds OF dollars TO replace.
The damage followed the great crash
which awoke the city at half past
twelve. No one being in the temple
at the time. it was impossible to learn
the exact amount of damage done, but
it is thought that no further damage
than that described resulted from the
contact.
Several mail clerks who were stand
ing on the rear platform of the post
office, saw the lightning strike the
building and were kept busy lodging
bricks for several seconds, but none
We're hurt.

ROOSEVELT CHANGES DATE.
Former President Will Comply Will
Plans Of State 7eachers

FidnS OF StdIe odcnef8.
Des Moines, July 25.-In order to en-
able the other speakers on the program
TO fill their engag ements without loss
of time or mourning extra expense to
the management, former President
Theodore Roosevelt will come to Des
Moines on the original dates OF the
State Teachers Association, Nov. 8,
and 5.
The executive committee Of the as
ISOLATION has been trying for months
to gain the consent OF Colonel Roose-
welt to give an address during the
session Of the association, which will
be held in the Coliseum. Recently he
accepted the invitation, but stated that
he could not come until a later date.
To accommodate themselves to the
date that he could be in Des Moines,
the committee announced later dates
for the association meeting. These
dates brought conflicts in time OF
speaking engagements with number
OF the speakers upon the state pro-
gram. Upon the personal appeal OF
Maurice Kicker, principal Of the West
Des Moines high school and chairman
|of the executive committee. Colonel
Roosevelt was induced to come to Des
-hoiiieS vi lie 0dte Originally SSS AL
the association meeting.
The fact that Colonel Roosevelt is to
be present at this meeting OF the teach
ers Of the state and to give an address
will mean big drawing card, not only
for the teachers Of the state. but also
for personal admirers Of the great
American. 1t Is estimated that there
will be not less than 5000 teachers
alone in attendance at this meeting.
The meeting held in Des Moines last
year broke the record, but the meeting
this year is to far outdistance the pre-
vious meeting.

ARRESTS EXPECTED SOON
Chain Of CircumstantiaI Evidence Be.
ing Wove, in Connection With Muir
der of Henry Lucas at Mason City.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. July 25-A week has
gone by and no arrests have vet been
made in connection with the murder
of Henry Lucas. With the officers it
has siInmered down to this-not so
much a question Of who killed the
young man. struck him down in cold
blood, but TO accumulate the evidence
that would lead TO conviction. Out
side of those implicated in the murder
there were no eye witnesses, as it now
seems, and all the evidence that can be
offered is of the circum stantial kind
and it IS to get the chain complete
that they are now working.
Some people on the outside are
working overtime to blind the police
and the county officials. a letter was
received by Mrs. Lucas. mother Of the
murdered young man. claiming TO have
been written at Allerton. Wayne coun-
ty. Iowa On this letter the writer
tells how he CHANGED to be on the depot
platform as the train came in and
while he was standing there he over
heard a conversation between two
buns and one told the other: Well. I
got that man at Mason City and only
made s14 out Of it, The writer de-
scribed the men and told that they
were then going down to Missouri and
work in a railroad shop. The letter
was soon turned over 10 Sheriff Holden
and he got busy only to find that there
was nothing in it at all. But real facts
connected with the case are developing
right along. There is every reason to
believe that the perpetrators are not
shrewd IN some things and they are
leaving tracks uncovered that are dan
gerous. For instance during the past
few days washing was sent out and
in this washing were two bloody shirts
ON one blood from the collar to the
waist, and the other was nearly as
bad. 1t was very unfortunate that the
shirts were washed and all traces of
blood obiterated before the officers fere
apprised OF this 1t is altogether prob
able that before the end of another
week several arrests will follow.

A vote Of thanks was extended the

year We're elected, as follows: .. b
Wood, of Union, president; F. Z.

hold the next annual meeting at the
same place. The courtesy shown the
postmasters during their convention by
Pos tu7aster Will Grey, Of Clear Lake,
is no doubt the cause of the post
maste deciding 10 hold their next an

Mason City. July 25.-The Mason
City First Methodist church has not
joined the progressive republican party
but it has established an innovation
and broken the traditions of the church
which have been in existence ever
since the birth of the church During
the month of August the new scheme
Will be given a try-out
For years back all protestant church
es have conducted the regular church
service and Sunday school separately.
An hour and a half is given to the
preaching service and an hour for
to Sunday school. All hours are used.
The purpose now is to consolidate the
two and there will be no internission.
AT 0:S0 the morning service will COM
M ence. Thirty minutes Will be devoted
to opening. thirty minutes to the
preaching and thirty minutes to the
study of Sunday school lessons, depart
ments by themselves during the teach
ing of the lesson. DR. W. w. Carlton,
who has been pastor of the church,
wanted the trial made.
In only one church In the United
States has the system been used and
that is at Chelsea. Mich. For that
church and Sunday school it has
wrought a wonderful change. Accord
ing to the pastor. DR.. Glass, and the
presiding elder, DR.. William Dave, 80
per cent of the congregation remain
in the Sunday school and So per cent Of
the Sunday school attend church. The
morning congregations have increased
so per cent and are growing rapidly.
while the Sunday school has increased
800 per cent. Only from five to ten per
cent of the congregation leaves after
preaching service. 1t maintains the
family unity, it solves the behavior of
children and young people in church,
it brings the length of sermons to a
point of enjoyment by the con grega-
ton, il solves TO a large extent the
music question in the church. and it
holds the men and boys in church as
no other method has yet done 1t is
believed that IT will be an innovation
that has come to stay.

The practice is more general this

The warm weather has been an ad-
vantage in this respect. at least. as
there are hardly any breeding places

NEW HARTFORD MURDER CLUE.
Victim Believed to Be Resident of
Cedar Rapids

Waterloo, July PA new clue to
the New Hartford murder case of a
week ago was furnished to the police OF
Cedar Rapids which may lead to the
Identification Of the young man found
lying in the branch of the West Fork
with evidence of blows having been
death on the head and his body strip
ped Of the clothes and then thrown in
to the river.
The theory advanced by the Cedar
Rapids department in a telephone con-
versation, Is that the man at New
Hartford is Lewis Newton aged IL
and resident of that city who dis
appeared some time ago and has not
been heard from since.
A comparison of the description
suggests that Newton may be the man
whose body was found. Newton is
described as young man about II
years of age with sandy complexion
and sandy hair which agrees with
that Of the murdered man. The bal
ance of the description compares ia
vorably with that Of Newton with the
exception of the age. The murdered
mans age was fixed at % or 20
years.
An investigation disclosed the fact
that Newton had been arrested In this
city on the morning of Friday, July
Is, having been taken Off the blind
baggage of the south bound Rock Is
Land passenger the morning OF the
Ringing Bros. show. He was locked
up for several hours and at police court
that morning he was released.
When arrested he stated that he
was enroute from Duluth, Mimi,
where he had been, to his home in
Cedar Rapids. When released he stated
that he was going home. During
the Intervening time he has not been
heard from and his parents in Cedar
Rapids are frantic and have enlisted
the aid OF the police department in
their endeayor to locate him.
