AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items of Interest Cleaned From
Pulpit and Sanctuary.
Central M. E. Church.

The audiences present at Sunday
school and at the public service in
the morning we're about equally divid-
ed, and the best record of the day
was made at these services. The in
terest in the new adult classes still
keeps up and is an inspiration to the
other departments of the school,
Nearly 400 were present on Sunday
and the work is at least holding its
own, if not showing an increase. DR.
MCClelland spoke on the subject of
Tho pattern in the Mount" taking
his text from Hebrews S:5, See that
thou make all things, according to
the pattern shown thee in the
mount.
The service in the evening was held
under the direction of the Epworth
League and so there was no regular
sermon. The service was led by Faith
err CrossOn and the subject consider
ed was God overruling evil to our
good. During the service an enjoy.
able vocal solo was rendered by Miss
Francis Hollingsworth, of Penn col
lege.

; SUFFER BROKEN ARMS
Auto Joy Riding Party Meet With
a Serious Mishap.

Two young ladies and two gentle
men who were out joy riding met with
an accident at $50 last evening about
three miles east of the city, and all
we're injured to some extent. The IN
iured are, Miss Cecil Davis OF Ottum-
was, has left arm broken above the
elbow and severely bruised; Miss Gle
ota Sutton, of Ottumwa, also has left
are broken and other minor scratch
es; Warren Lindsey, demonstration OF
the Buick car, of Des MOines, has left
arm broken below the elbow, and
Marshall Mcdowell, of Ottumwa, is
badly bruised about the body.
The party was coming towards Os-
kaloosa and when they hit the sharp
curve they were all thrown out and
the auto crashed into the embank-
ment. The car was slightly injured.
All of the party was brought to the
Abbott hospital and their injuries
cared for. Miss Davis seems to be ill.,
iured the most, but she is resting
easy. The men are able to be about,
but the young ladies are confined TO
their beds.
Lindsay, who was driving, stated
that the accident was due to sharp
turn in the road that was not dis.
cernible until they were into 1t. He
said they were travelling at good
clip when he came suddenly onto the
turn. The car skidded as he made
effort to keep the road and turned
over on the side. The girls were
thrown out and pinned under the
car, a wheel resting upon the arm Of
Miss Davis. She could not be releas-
ed until the engine had been started
and the wheel moved from Der.
The car was righted with difficulty
and Lindsay, with remarkable pluck
drove the three and half miles back
to the city with his one hand.

AUTO FALLS IS FEET
Carl Shultz and Party Go off l. Z.
Bridge Near West Center.

Carl Shultz, farmer living six miles
east of Grinnell, his daughter, Viola
Shultz, aged 10, and Harry Armstrong
we'll known restaurant man OF Grin
nell, were the victims of an automo-
bile accident at the high bridge over
the Iowa Central tracks near West
Center school house about IL o'clock
this forenoon. The young lady was
driving and in making the turn for
the bridge the steering geer stuck.
The machine went on the bridge all
right, but instead of. righting itself
it kept on turning and, breaking the
rail, plunged off the bridge to the
railway track fully thirty-five feet be-
low. Mr.. ShultZ and the daughter
went down with the machine, while
Mr.. Armstrong jumped out and alight-
ing on the bridge managed to hold
onto the railing and did not fall to
the tracks.
When the car finally landed Miss
Shultz was pinned under it and the
father was lying to one side. In
making the fall the machine turned
completely over two times. How
either the father or daughter escap-
ed death is a miracle. Mr.. Shuitz
aside from a few bruises, was not
hurt. The young lady sustained Sc
we're Injury to her back, but 1t IS
thought that the injuries will not
prove serious.
Fred Stephenson, who was out DEM
onstrating a car for the Schee garage,
and Will Mitchell, who was riding
with him, were eye witnesses to the
accident. They stopped their car
and rushed to the scene, expecting TO
find both father and daughter dead.
But before they got there Mr.. Shultz
was on his feet. The four men rails
ed one end of the car and Miss ShultZ,
to the surprise of all, crawled out
from under the wreck. She was
brought to town at once in the Steph-
enson car and taken to DR.. l.. A.
Rodgers office. After an hours rest
she was able to be up and about.
Though her back pains her much 1t
is believed no serious consequences
will result.
The car which figured in the acct
dent is big Buick, which was ptr-
chased at Malcolm only a few days
ago. 1t is badly damaged and a
rough estimate indicates that it will
cost $500 to repair the damage. The
car fell just clear Of the track, and
the Iowa Central train from the north
which came along only few minutes
after the accident was able TO get by
without delay.

TO IMPROVE STREAM
Work Planned to Make the Des
Moines River Navigable.

Burlington Hawkeye: There is
considerable interest attached to the
plan of opening the Des Moines river
to navigation. The government en-
gineers have made a thorough inspeC
tion of the river, and the people liv
ing along the banks ars enthusiastic
over the prospect of having light
draught steamboats, on the stream.
Recently Col. c. S. Richie, govern
ment engineer in charge of river i'm
provements in this section, issued the
following information in regard TO the
bridges along the Des MOiues river.
In regard to the height of bridges,
it would seem advisable to have the
bridges on the Des Moines conform
to those on other streams of the same
size-that is, that there should be a
standard Off height of bridges as well
as for size of locks, depth of water
way, etc, so that the same boat or
class of boats can navigate any
stream in the Mississippi basin. Such
Standardization would make the wat
erway system comparable to the rail
roads of the United States where any
standard guage car can be taken over
the rails from any point to any point
From information received from
those experienced and interested, |
believe that the lowest opening of a
fixed bridge should be not less than
32.5 feet above the water at the high
est navigable stage.
1T is probable that railroads own
ing bridges that cross the Des Moines
will consider it more economical to
use draw spans than to raise their
bridges and change the grades, par
ed near yards. In some cases the ap-
prOaches to highway bridges raised
to the required height would damage
adjacent property to such an extent
that draw spans would be more de-
sirable.
There are foirty.two bridges cross
ing the Des Moines' river below the
'Raccoon Forks" of which fourteen
are railroad and twenty-seven high
way, and one a combination of rail
road and highway, all of which will
require some alteration to give a
clearance of 1925 feet at the bank
full" stage of fourteen feet. The cost
of making the alterations is estimated
at 81 ,5S5 900, all OF which should be
borne by the bridge owners. This is
a liberal estimate and it is probable
that the cost can be reduced mater
tally If the bridge owners manage
The cost will be but thir-
teen per cent of the total cost Of the
entire work.
