the S. r. o. sign on it, standing
room only" and very little of that. 1t

sign of men and women, boys and girls
coming to Ottumwa to do their Christ
mas shopping, to see Ottumwa's great
crowds, to patronize Ottumwa's great
retail stores, to take home Christmas
cheer They are a happy throng of peo-
pie that come to Ottumwa on these
trains, They are prosperous, for they
look the. part. They are intelligent,
they show 1t in their makeup; they
are we'll dressed and we'll kept. OF.
tumwa Is fortunate to have great re-
tail stores and the stores are equally
fortunate in being located in Ottumwa
in the heart of fertile territory popu.
lated with the best class Of people in
the world. There are thousands of
these good people that love to come
to Ottumwa to visit and trade and Of
tumwa holds out hearty welcome to
all. Shop early and early in the day.

MORMON FAITH
AND ITS GROWTH
MISS sWARTz, FIELD SECRETARY
AT WASHINGTON o. c., SPOKE
TO WOMEN.

Miss Swartz, field secretary Of the
First NJ e. church located at Wash
ington, D. c., talked to a mass meet
ing Of women Sunday afternoon at
the First M E.. church. She spoke on
Mormonism.
THE, Mormon church has great
power, more that we reckon" Miss
Swartz said There are 100000 ad-
herants to the faith, and 1000 mis-.
sionaries. The aim of the Mormon
church is political. Its power is far
reaching, even into foreign countries.
The missionaries are trained men in
the service, taking fourteen years Of
study before they 90 forth as mission
aries. They present the doctrine in
such smooth and artful way that it
is hardly noticeable.
''They are polished, Intellectual men.
and are able to present the Mormon
doctrine in the most alluring way. Sin
is never so insidious as when present
ed in the garb Of gentility. ..|2
"The commercial interests are being
more and more controlled by the Nor
mons. In a secret way they are gain
ing foothold in every state. In nine
states already they hold the balance
Of power"

Keokuk, Dec. 17.-Unable to hold
out any longer against the wishes Of
the business men of Keokuk, the city
commissioners yesterday gave orders
that sent the fire department out with
the hose and fire pressure to give
Main street thorough washing.
For many weeks the business men,
realizing the damage being done to
both stocks and business, have been
fighting for the cleansing Of the street
only to be met with the excuse that
that there was no money available
for the purpose or that it would be
done at some time more convenient.
