nesday evening there was concert
by the orchestra with flute solos by
Max Wheeler, vocal solo by Miss
Grace Edwards and one by Miss
Edith Dallam and two readings by
Miss Jessie Bell. Excellent band and
martial music enlivened both days
and there were street attractions and
ry-go-rounds to amuse, besides a
balloon ascension each evening at
$3.50 by Frank Mergle of Tioga. The
ascension last evening was made, not
a breath of air touching the balloon,
which rose straight up from the
ground for about 1000 feet and then
sailed short distance off, the para
chute landing on 3rd street. The re-

John B. Worthen, the grocer, espe-

the reunion days, filling it with 80
varieties of vegetables and IL of

May be Held in Des Moines on octob-
er 80 and 81 According
to Plans.
A monster meeting of the church
women of Iowa may be held in Des
Moines on the dates of October 30
and 81
At a meeting of representatives
from the women organizations of the
protestant churches of Des Moines
held yesterday afternoon at the Ply
mouth Congregational church such a
proposed meeting was discussed but
no decision was reached Mrs. War
rem Garst presided over the meeting
yesterday afternoon. To finally dis
pose of the question a meeting of
these same church women will be
/ held at the Plymouth Congregational
church on next Tuesday morning.
This meeting in October is called
by the national committee on foreign
mission study. and will be one of a
series of twelve such conventions to
! be held in the large cities of the
west. The movement among the
in foreign lands, not only from mis-
sionary standpoint, but for education
bears the same relation to the
churches as does the laymen's move
ment, according to the plans of the
national committee these rally meet
ings for women are to be held in the
largest cities of this country and close
with monster national women s
meeting in Chicago in November.
The appeal to the local women to
begin the laywomen's movement in
Iowa was made several weeks ago,
but too late for the women to do the
campaigning in advertising to insure
a large gathering, say the Des Moines
women. Unless the meeting could be
made success, they hate to under
take such project The national
committee sets its own date for meet
Ing and will send national speakers
of note without expense to local
church women.

Only Sixteen Years of

OF sixteen year old Clara Zwick,

tains quite an interesting story. 1t
is as follows:
Many Quincy people will remem-
Der bright little Clara Zwick, the
daughter OF Frank Zwick, the we'll

will be much pleased to learn of the

teen years of age, she has been sent
on a mission 10 Keokuk, where she

Miss Zwick, as she is still known,

St Mary's Academy in this city.
about two years ago she made very
rapid progress in the excellent local
school. and was transferred from

Here she again displayed her re-
markable ability to grasp subjects
usually reserved for much older per-
sons. and was entrusted by the sis

WARSAW, III. Sept. 29.-The 10th

Warsaw sustain her reputation for
hospitality. The two days seemed
made to order, though Tuesday was
a trifle too cool for comfort. The at

doubling that of the first. OF course
the number of the boys in blue is
annually diminishing, but the register
at Sanger hall showed over 200, from
many regiments. There were good
delegations from Luray, Carthage,
Keokuk and other nearby points.
The event of the reunion was the
eloquent address of Adjutant General
Frank S. Dixon, the like of which has
never before been heard here 1t was
brilliant patriotic, pathetic and force
full and scintillated with flashes of
wit and humor
One moment his hearers would be
melted to tears, and the next would
be laughing. He held his hearers as
if he had cord from his hand to
their heads and hearts. There was no
inattention, no lovers gabfest on the
margin of the audience, but all, Young
and old, drank in his words.
His appeal to the young man and
young woman of today to prepare
themselves for the responsibilities of
