fixed everything so it would be pos
sible to start right and carry out the
program to the letter and their eff
forts were appreciated as was shown
by the promptness with which all
delegates took up their interest in the
numbers on the program.
In many conventions the first few
hours are wasted. because OF lack
OF interest but this was not the case
with the members of the Iowa State
Medical society.
There are about three hundred
members of the society present, and
it is thought that the number will be
brought up to four hundred and fifty

that If this government was going TO
intervene In the Mexican situation. it
would have done SO long before now.
A few weeks ago there did not seem
TO be any help for it, as the situation
was decidedly ticklish and interna-
tional conditions strained but with the
diplomatic corps hard at work the
possibility of American Intervention
has shrunk to almost negligible
quantity in the past week. This is
tie condition at present. according to
men who have read and studied the
situation through all its phases.

LinwoOd School Exercises

The third school term of the Lin
wood school closed Friday and Fri
day night with an elaborate pro-
gram splendidly rendered in the
presence of as many people as could
be crowded into the building, with
a large overflow on the outside:
Prof. j. H. Billiard, principal, and
Miss Sallie Bell Crenshaw and Miss
May Shafer, assistant, have taught
the past six months. 1t has been
the largest attendance in the history
of that school. They had an enroll
ment of 100 pupils, and the terms
work has been highly gratifying to
to the patrons of the school.
The week was devoted to final ex-
aminations, and Friday and all eve
ming to a long and elaborate pro-
gram of interesting exercises.
After the morning and afternoon
program a recess was taken until s
o'clock when the last of the exercises
were rendered.
The large stone building erected
only three years ago is barely ade-
quate, and Prof. Billiard believes
that it is possible that the audito-
rum will have to be used for a class
room. When the building was erec-
ted it was thought to be ample for
a decade or more. but the rapid
growth and progress of the commun-
ity will soon necessitate consider
able annex to the building.

An Appreciation

Those who attended the services
at the Central Methodist Church
last Sunday were given rare
treat. 1t seems that music was the
feature of the day, and as one who
was there and appreciated all, | feel
like voiceinG the general opinion
that our city has never had the
privilege Of hearing such classic
music rendered by a choir before.
Especially was this true of the even
ing program. 1t shows what can be
done by hard work under the di-
rection of a skilled director and
that such a one was there was ap-
parent to all who watched the ease
and fineness with which Mr. RaWly
conducted the choir The church
is to be congratulated on securing

The soloists without exception
did themselves proud and each one
added to the merit Of all. The cor
net solo by Mr.. Nixon iii tie morn
ing made Calvary" more popular
than ever and proved the PLAYER
a master of his instrument.
The "Cantata" was the browning
feature of the occasion, in which
the elaborate and intricate produc-
ton was rendered with perfect
technique, the attack of each part
coming in with the beat of the
leaders baton, the fOrtes and pianos
shading into each other with har-
monious effect; the blending of the
voices especially noticeable, not one
part stronger than the other, but
each voice modulated to bring to
perfection the harmony of all. The

attended both services.
