the High School.

One of the finest fairs ever wit
messed by Webster City people will
be given by the senior class at the
local high school building on Friday
evening of this week. Pupils and
teachers have been working at odd
moments for the past few weeks
preparing some very entertaining
and mirth producing stunts for this
occasion A minstrel show that is
warranted to cure blues of the dark
est hue with it's real darkies from
Dixie whose side splitting jokes are
all entirely original, the like OF
which have never been heard before
No little attention has been paid tC
costumes by this strictly first-class
company and their musical ability
could scarcely be equaled anywhere
Their songs will charm the ear OF
even the deaf. Beautiful drills and
folk dances in fancy dress will be
another attraction which no one can
afford to miss. OF course no fair
would be complete without a merry
go-round but that specially con-
structed for Friday evening is very
new and novel one which will carry
passengers at the usual low figure
Of five cents. Popcorn, peanuts,
candy, all day suckers for the chill
dren, and the beautiful colored bal
looms will all be there. The posters
advertise free water and shade and
a place to hitch your team, SO be
sure to come and bring the whole
family. The admission is only five
cents and each attraction will open
it's doors for the same price, on Fri
day evening at the high school
building. 80 &. ."

MEETINGS Open
VERY AUSP|C|0USLY
Three Addresses of Great Interest
are Delivered Before Large
Audience.

An interesting, Instructive and
inspiring program marked the first
meeting of Home Mission Week held
in the Christian church last night.
The nationwide idea is taking hold
of Webster City, for a large audi
ence filled the church and overflow
ed into the lecture room. Popular
hymns were sung by the congrega-
ton and Warren B. Dodge pleased
the people with tenor SOLO So far
more people are attending these
meetings and much more general
interest IS manifested than would
likely be the case We're the gather
ings held in the interests of the old
fashioned revival. Perhaps the
churches are learning that it takes
an educational program to draw out
the people.
Three addresses constituted last
nights program. Rev. A. F. Col
yer led off with an interesting sur
vey of the American Indian and his
religious needs. Mr.. Colver has had
some personal experience and obser-
walton among American Indians,
and these spiced his earnest address
and gave point to his message. The
Indian Is the original American, and
his are the first families" of the
new continent. The white man has
pushed him out of his original pos
sessions and now lives on the red
mans land. Under these conditions
the Indian has degenerated. But he
still lives among his white success
sors, and the interests OF ciViliza-
ton demand that his lot shall be
bettered. To this end the leading
denominations in the United States
have missions among the Indians,
and the work has prospered more or
less according to local conditions,
Mr.. Colver explained that Protest.
ant missions among the Indians
were very difficult, because the Pro-
testant missionary never ceased to
strive for change of character and
of personal habits among his con-
verts. But the difficult work was
being slowly achieved, the speaker
said Government and denomina'
tional schools and religious mission
work are gradually civilizing the
Indian and making of him a better
citizen of the Republic.
The second speaker was negro
minister, and his theme was. THE
Problem of the Negro Where he
Lives" Rev. r. A. Broyles is field
superintendent Of Noxubee Indus
trial School of Mcleod, Mississippi
He is good speaker. and he wa:
listened TO with appreciation, for hi!
frst-hand information proved to b.
thrilling, and his address was {
lighting up of a very dark problem
1t is difficult to sum up the fact.

Another Corn Husker Accident.

H. w. Carrier met with bad &C
cident yesterday while working in
his corn field on the Ruppel place
southeast of town, his left thumb
being caught in corn husker. The
machine became clogged and Mr..
Carrier attempted to clear it with
his hand. His thumb was caught
and the flesh cut from the bone
backward towards the hand, leaving
the end of the bone protruding for
an inch or so. The flesh was drawn
back into place, however, by the
physician who dressed the injury
and the wound will no doubt heal
in due time: This is the third or
fourth corn husker accident which
has happened in this immediate vi
cinity during the past few weeks.
