ONE MAHAskA COUNTY BOY.

New Sharon Star: 1t is a source
of much satisfaction to be able to
point with pride TO the remarkable
success being achieved by a former
New Sharon boy in his chosen field
of labor and the work of Rev. o. q.
Orcutt, pastor of the ME. church at
Milton, Ia, worthy of special men,
ton.
Rev. Orcutt moved last conference
from a three years pastorate at
Agency, Ia, during which time he re-
ceived $50 members into the church
and put $4,000 improvements on the
church property, making a church
building and equipment valued at
$4,000. His pastorate at Milton is
opening up graciously. He just clos.
ed a four weeks revival meeting
which resulted in 140 conversions
and over 140 new members for the
church. His church membership is
now over 500. Last Sunday he bap-
tised 100 converts. One of the re-
suits of the meeting is a spiritual

Three union mems meetings were
held and at the last of these a Y. M.
c. A. movement was started for the
young men of the town and in less
than half an hour subscriptions had
been taken amounting to over $4,000,
providing for the carrying on of the
work for three years. In addition to
this work, Rev. Orcutt assisted, as an
evangelist, Rev. A. NJ. Smith, pastor
of the NJ. E. church at Moulton, Iowa,
in a series of meetings which result
ed in complete spiritual quickening
of the church, seventy conversions
and sixty additions to the member.

TO REGULATE iNJuNcTIoNs.

Much support, especially from lab
organizations, has been rallied to the
Kendall bill in congress to regulate
the issuance of restraining orders and
the trial of contempts. The text of
the important part of the measure is
as follows:
No restraining order or injunction
shall be issued by any court of the
United States, or the judge thereof
in any dispute between an employer
and employees, or between employees
or between persons employed and
persons seeking employment, or in
volving the terms or conditions of
employment, unless such restraining
order or injunction shall be clearly
necessary to prevent such irreparable
injury to property or property rights,
as can not be adequately redressed at
law, and then only after reasonable
notice of the application therefor
shall have been served upon the per.
son or persons sought to be restrain
ed or enjoined, and he or they shall
have had opportunity to appear in
person or with attorney and traverse
the allegations of said application. In
all such cases the application for re.
straining order or injunction shall be
in writing and duly verified, and
shall state explicitly the facts upon
which relief is demanded, including a
description of the property or prop
erty rights involved"
