presented a. pleasing picture. The
pastor, Rev. Alexander McFerran, de-

The attendance at all services on

be aprticularly appropriate that the
closing hours of Easter Sunday should
be spent in joyful song. The pro-
gram had been carefully prepared and
was given as published in the Herald
of Saturday. Special solos were rem
dered by Miss Verda Minkler, Miss
Edith Paris and Mrs. Roy Kemble.
Other interesting features were the
selection by the male quartette, COM

The observation and celebration of
Easter Sunday in the churches of Os.

vices appropriate to the day and ser
mons, ceremony and service were ap
piled to the occasion. The music was
the feature of the days programs al
almost every church, while absence Of
floral decorations was noted in many
of them, due to the lateness of the
season. The musical programs were
possibly more elaborate and of {
higher class than ever before, and al
services, morning, afternoon and ev

WRECK ONTHECENTRAL'
Nine Cars Of Freight on No. o5
Crash Through Bridge.

An unusual wreck occurred Sunday
afternoon, at 2:40 o'clock, between
Coalfield and Eddyville, in which
three men were injured, when nine
cars of north-bound Iowa Central
freight No. 95 left the rails and crash
ed through steel bridge. All of the
cars were completely demolished.
The train was in charge of Conductor
VIM. Fl. Nicola and Engineer |. II.
SteddOm. The cause of the wreck
was that either the rails spread or
one of the cars jumped the track.
When the first car left the rails
they were train length from the
bridge, but they were travelling at
such a rate of speed that they were
unable to stop before reaching the
steel structure. When the train
reached the bridge the tender and
nine cars had left the rails and were
riding on the ties. The cab of the
engine had just cleared the bridge
when the tender and the nine cars
crashed through. The cars piled up.
on each other and most of the trucks
sank several feet in the soft mud. All
of the cars were heavily loaded and
had the bridge been of the wooden
type the entire train would have gone
into the creek. An oil tank which
was filed to its capacity, crashed hall
way through car of cement, and the
oil flowed into the creek below.
The seriously injured are: VIM
Pearson, head brakeman, who had his
left foot so badly crushed that ampu
tation will probably be necessary. He
was riding i'm the cab at the time OF
the accident, and when the tender left
the rails his foot was caught between
the apron and the tank. c. E.Thomp
son. rear brakeman, was riding II
1.-THE cupola of the caboose, and wher
the crash occurred he was hurled
through the window and had a deeI
cash cut in his arm and was severely
bruised. VIM. Nicola had his knee
severely bruised and other minol
scratches. Engineer Steddom jump
ed from the cab window before the
crash occurred and Fireman Martin
escaped on the running board. The
: injured men were brought to the city
about ten-thirty last evening ant
were removed to their homes.
The steam wrecker was called from
Marshalltown and are clearing up thu
wreck. The accident tied up tn

Christian Church.

The fine day brought out SOP at the
Bible school with an offering of
1882. Supt. White with the manage.
ment in general is very solicitous to
bring the normal attendance to the
five hundred mark. A male guartette
consisting of Lyle Venable, Robt.
Hardness, Byron Barnhart and Mr..
Jones sang Il Heard the Voice of
Jesus Say" with splendid effect. The
piece was greatly admired by every
one. There were also a number of
excellent solos and quartettes by the
members of the choir, all most fitting
for the Easter occasion. Rev. McCord
preached thoughtful sermon, taking
a text from Isaiah. He spoke of the
book in general and of the master
mind who wrote it, then drawing les
sons specifically from the text. The
sermon was intended to inspire faith
in prayer and confidence in the in
spiration of the scriptures. The ev
ening was taken up by missionary
program rendered by the Juniors. II
was very original and thoroughly in
structive and interesting from the
opening to the close. Both services
were crowded. 1t is amazing to ap
preciate how thoroughly the children
can enter into the spirit and training
of program which has to do witt
the deploring servitude of children
like themselves in benighted lands
There was a generous offering for thu
Junior work.

day, starting with the celebration of
Holy Communion at o'clock in the
morning. The principal service was
at 1920 and the church was filled to
overlooking, extra chairs having TO
be provided to accommodate the at
tendants. The Rector, Rev. w. p.
Williams, delivered sermon espe.
cially appropriate to the occasion, and
the vested choir rendered beautiful
Faster music. The church was elab-
orately decorated with ported plants
and cut flowers, palms and lilies, pre-.
dominating. The Sunday school hour
was deferred for the day until four
o'clock in the afternoon when an un-
usual number of little folks gathered
to take part IN the program, deliver
their Easter offerings and accept the
colored eggs and other mementoes of
the occasion. The Sunday school
offering amounted to over $31 100, with
enough more coming to make it at
least $40. Last year st. James Sun
day school stood second in the Iowa
Diocese on Easter offerings, notwith-
standing there are II other parishes
larger than this one. In the evening
another large audience gathered to
take part in the services and to hear
second excellent sermon by the
Rector. At three o'clock in the af.
ternoon baptismal services were held
and three were accepted into the
church. They we're Mrs. B. G. Will
liams, Miss Esther Williams, and lit,
tie Robert, infant son of Mr.. and Mrs,
G. C.. Orvis. Five others who had ex'
pected to be baptised at this time
were detained by illness in the fam

ers were taken to the sick after the
services were closed. The memoria

Warden of st. Janis Parish, arrived
Friday and was used for thu
first time on Easter Day. l
is neat and elegant piece o
furniture and adds materially t
the appearance and the convenience
of the chancel. Notwithstanding tn
joy and interest that marked the fes
tival, a vein of sadness ran through
the day for all members of the church
because of the serious illness of Hon
II. w. Gleason, senior warden of tn
church. and because Rev. A. Cat
Kaye, the beloved Rector of the Ma
son City church, lay dead in Oska
lOosa.
