gard received fine of 1885 in po-
lice court Saturday for imbibing
in the flowing bowl and doing some
peculiar stunts In the east part OF
the city Friday evening.
The man when taken in had plen-

eat, but people in the east part Of
the city complained that he appear
ed at different doors and asked for
food and made some disturbance
when refused. Investigation by the
police showed that the man had Wis

AVIATOR TO START
AT DRIVING PARK
Has Been Decided That Airship
Flights Will Start in West
Part Of City.

G. Ray Benedict, the aviator who
will make the flights in this city
tomorrow, arrived in town last ev-
ening from st. Louis He is accom-
panied by his mechanician and field
manager, Walter E. Lees.
1t has been decided by them
that the airship flights will start in
the driving park in the west part OF
town tomorrow. The first flight
will be made at 11:30 in the fore
noon, Immediately following the
parade. The second airship demon
stration will start in the middle of
the afternoon and it may be that a
third one will be made at 6 o'clock
in the evening.
Nobody will be allowed in the
driving park to see the flying ma
chine until the flights are ended.
Whether or not the aviator will
light anywhere down town is doubt
full, as more or less danger would
result from an attempt of this kind.
He will undoubtedly return to the
driving park to light. as it requires
as much space for this purpose as it
does to start the flying machine.
However, the people will have am
pie opportunity to see the flights
from the celebration grounds. as the
aviator expects to sail around over
the city in different directions.

conference will have many more re-
vivals of the Billy Sunday kind.
Bishop Hughes today said that the
minister who depended for his ac-
cessions to the church on the year
ly revival would soon fail. The
bishop said that the time was at
hand for hand to hand campaign,
man to man affair and to keep ev-
erlastingly at it. The church must
have more men of this kind who
will do personal work and the bish-
op emphas the need of this per-
sonal work in the churches of the
Des Moines conference.

seen since Adam fell to the wiles of
Eve. He didn't have his parachute
strapped to him or else it, refused
to open, because he made that drop
of about 16 feet in such a short time
that he didn't even have time to
yell. Some of you wonder how he
lit. He didn't light on his head or
his feet. but his hip pocket got a jar
that spoiled the two dollars he had
saved up for next winter. A per-
son would have to see the fall to en-
joy it, but we haven't laughed so
much since Mrs. Falstaff found a
toad in her stocking.

THE new OAK GLEN
CHURCH DEDICATED
Dedicatory Service Held Sunday A.
ternoon-New Church En-
tirely Free From Debt

The new Oak Glen church, erect
ed on the site OF the one which was
struck by lightning and burned to
the ground last spring, is now COM
pleted and was dedicated Sunday
afternoon in the presence of large
congregation of people.
In the morning Rev. Curtis of
Waterloo delivered very able ad-
dress, a fair sized audience being
present, and the subscription list
was materially increased at this
service. But the dedicatory service
itself was held in the afternoon,
Rev J. w. Peterson presiding, and
Rev Miller of Des Moines delivering
the sermon. The church was more
than filled at this meeting and the
balance due upon the church,
amounting to $440, was subscribed
so that the Oak Glen people have the
pleasure of knowing that their
church is free from debt. This cer-
tainly speaks we'll for the prosperity
and generosity of this farming COM
munity. The building is also fur
nished completely, including heating
and lighting plants and a beautiful
new piano all entirely paid for.
Three new members were also
chosen Sunday as members of the
board OF trustees, David Hunter,
Thomas Flaws and Clarence Stud
ley, S. D. Pringle and Hugh Allen
being the old members.

None in Webster City.

Little girl, you look so small,s
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy y-shirt?
Don't you wear no petty-skirt?
Just your corset and your hose,
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be. all feet,
With your dress SO very tight
YOU surely are an awful sight.
Nothing there to keep you warm,
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you wont live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After a while, I do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve.
