Special to Times Republican,
Webster City, Jan. 20.-The dance
controversy which some weeks ago
threatened a disruption of church and
town at Ellsworth, has broken out
afresh after short period of calm. 1t
has now reserved itself into matter
of personal honor and veracity between
the two pastors of the town-Rev Mr.
Hjortholm of the Lutheran church, and
Rev. Mr.. Kicker of the Congregational
church. The latter in long state
ment of his side of the case, written
to the Ellsworth News, says IF MIR.
Hjortholm chooses to say different
from what l have said. then one of us
speaks falsely The letter written by
Rev. Mr. Kicker raises the issue of
truth squarely between the ministers
and is the talk of the whole country
side. So wide has become the breech
between the pastors that they do not
even speak to each other. The towns
people, OF course, take sides and the
impression prevails that Ellsworth is
sitting upon a volcano, whose eruption
sooner or later is likely to divide the
town.
MIR. Kicker, in his letter, says the
whole thing started when Rev. Mr..
Hjortholm called at his home and ask
ed him his opinion of the dance ques-
ton, he having in mind the closing of
the dance hall. Kicker saw no sin in
dancing itself, but agreed that the
dance hall would better be closed. He
alleges that he then went ahead with
the sanction of Hjorthom and arrang-
ed a compromise with the proprietors
of the dance hall whereby they would
close it to dances for six months pro-
vided Kicker would take his orchestra
to the skating rink one night in the
week. Rev. MIR. Kicker supposed this
Rev. MIR. Hjortholm stood with him UNI
til the latter wrote a public letter
repudiating the whole thing. Speaking
of this in his present letter to the
press, Rev. Mr.. Kicker says: MIR
Hjortholm's conduct is incomprehensi-
r BILE to me. During the time when we
were in consultation he complained Of
ten to me of the narrowness and pre-
JUDGE of some Of his people. He sait
he had been criticised for playing
checkers and caroms with his children
for buying an automobile, and especial
ly because he had permitted his boy tt
attend the rink"

In closing his letter, Mr.. Kicker says:
ut is sad commentary on religion

the attitude of accusing each other
of falsehood, but it should be remem-
bered that ministers are made of the
same material as other people and that

skating rink. takes the position that
Rev. Mr.. Kicker has the right end of
the controversy. He speaks of Mr.
Ricker's letter as partially exposing
the apparent narrow principles of Rev.
Hjortholm.' Concerning the latter he
SAYS: There must be a large supply
of christianity left in Brother Hjor-
tholm as he evidently feels indisposed
TO separate himself from any of it"
He closes his article with the follow
ing threat: If it becomes necessary,
the News can publish few truths
concerning a protesting christian that
will make noise like burning brim-
stone"
Just what will be the next move in
the matter no one knows. 1t is not to
be supposed, however, that the Rev Mr.
Hjortholm will permit the controversy
to suhside without giving his side of
1t and the question now uppermost in
the minds of all Ellsworth is, what
reply can the Lutheran minister make
to the charges of the Congregational
pastor without making Il bad matter
worse?

Mr.. Greer was a ,Maccabee and a Ma

Attic the neighbors of the Greer's
strongly suspicioned Mrs. Greer as of
being the direct cause of her husbands
death, such was the character and dis

naming the charge. She was in the
habit of gazing into peoples windows
with loaded revolver in her hand,
threatening her husband and step
daughter with a butcher knife and
otherwise terrorizing the neighborhood.
MT. and Mrs. Thomas Rhea, of Lo-

The decision Of the United States
supreme court knocking out the Kan
sas state law requiring outside corpor
ations to pay charter fees for the bene-
fit of the state schools before engaging
in business may prove a boomerang to
the Iowa law, which has the same eff
feet as the Kansas law. Special Coun-
sci George Cosson, of the attorney gen
erals office said it is possible the de-
cision may mean the calling Off of sew
eral suits now pending in the Iowa
courts against the big corporations for
the collection Of filing fees amounting
to tens of thousands Of dollars. The
exact effect on the Iowa law can not
be .ascertained until the written opin-
ion reaches Des MoineS.
