STILL PURSUING A WAITING POLICY
UNITED STATES IS STILL NoN-AC- TIVE AS TO THE SiTuk-
 TON IN MEXICO.
Belief Still Expressed Ths. Huerta Cannot Last Much Longer in Pres dents Office.

Washington, Nov. 25.-President Wilson and members of the cabinet discussed the Mexican situation brief ly today and assurances later were given that no change in the attitude of the United States toward the Hu- erta provisional government had taken place.
 Most important of the day's devel- opments from the American stand point was the departure from Vera Cruz of President Wilson's special en- yoy John Lind, on the batueship Rhode Island with Rear Admiral Fletcher for Tampico and Tuxpam to investigate conditions which by .he British interests have been regarded as in grave danger
 The sending of Mir. Lind is gener- ally regarded here as an indivation that the United States is extremely desirous to avoid any hostile move and that a thorough examination of the situation would be made before any marines from an American war ship were landed on Mexican soil When the Rhode Island left, her iirst destination was Tampico, where she was expected to arrive tomorrow.
 The Louisiana, under command of Rear Admiral Boush, was reported to- night to be at Tampico, while The Ne braska. commanded by Capt Wood, is at Tuxpam. Should untoward con- ditions develop in this territory the action to be taken by this government is discretionary with Admiral Fle+ch- CT and it is believed here, Mir. Lind has gone with the American vessel so that the government here may re- port conditions as soon as possible.
 It became known today that the Eu- nor of an intention of The American commanders to land forces to protect the extensive oil interests at Tampico and Tuxpam was brought to official notice through the British counsel at Tampco. This officer, on account Cf the excitement which the report caus- ed in Tampico, notified Sir Lionel Car deu, the British minister in Mexico City, who in turn acquainted Charge 'Shaughnessy.
 No official reports reached the state dopar .ment from the battle between the Mexican federal and rebel forces at Jaurez. the result Qf that conflict is awaited with keen interest. Tle state department was notified that in anticipation of an attack on Las Va cas- in the state of Coahuila, the Amer ican consul at Eagle Pass had seTt warning to Americans to leave the town and cross to Del Rio, Texas Passes. it was reported are now being required by federal authorities from all persons entering and leaving Ciu- dad Porforia Diaz.
 Consul Canada at Vera Cruz report ed that the Norwegian steamer At lantis. with p refugees, had left for Galveston to arrive on November 21 It also was reported that Leandro and Andres Aguilar were among the persons transported on the American battleship from Vera Cruz with the brothers of Francisco Madero.

captured and a number of federal of fiicers killed.
 From Caliacan it was reported to- day that American Consul Alger at Mazatlan and Gov, Riveras of Sinaloa had been exchanging notes regarding the shutting off of the water supply at Mazatlan, now invested by insdr- gents. The governor declined to re- store the water supply because this would interfere with the Ilans for the campaign against the federal garri- son. He expressed regret, however, that American residents and other non-combatants had suffered from what he asserted was necessary act on the part of the besiegers.

year. In September 1910 Rev. j. III,
Freedline was sent us, and is now sery.
ing his fourth year, this being only the
second time in the history of the charge
where a pastor has remained longer than
three years and our church now thinks
we have one of the best, preachers in
the Des Moines Conference.
For some time we had felt the need
of some improvements at the parsonage
and of choir room. So in 1911, boldly
waded into the matter and made
Improvements costing So 600, consisting
of choir room 1Sx22, veneering the
foundation and basement story of the
church with Des Moines flint brick and
painting the outside.
The addition of the choir room fills a
long felt want, for it not only means a
comfortable, commOdious and pleasant
place for the choir to meet but is also
used for other small meetings as well
as making a new and needed, entrance
and vestibule, to the church parlors.
While upon the subject of choirs it is
but proper to say that our large chorus
choir is one of which our church is
pr oud, and has been one of the strong
elements in our work for the organiza-
ton of our church, the best musical
talent of the town, has been associated
with us in our choir.
At the parsonage the one story kitchen
was raised TO two stories and a modern
bathroom installed above, a porch
built in front, hot air furnace put in.
the whole parsonage repapered and
painted outside and in, and this year
the Ladies Aid Society have refEescoed
and decorated the church inside, and
recarpeted with Wilton Velvet Brussels
carpet at an expense of $500.
Revival meetings have been held at
various times, and at the meeting this
fall upwards of 30 decided to live
christian lives and 43 were added TO the
church.
Our Sunday school, Epworth League
and other societies of the church have
all been helpful factors in carrying on
the Masters work, and as we enter upon
the Both year of our work as a church,
we do 80 with a firm faith that the
Master will still use us for the advance
ment of his cause.
The presiding elders serving dur
ing the existence of the charge are:
Rev. Jno. EASTWOOD, September, &c
TO 80.
w. r. Smith, September 80 to 'S2.
w. G. Martin, September 'S2 to 'S5.
G. w. Blodgett, Septmber 'S5 to 80.
d. C. Franklin, September 80 to 90.
w. w. Ramsey, September 90 to 80.
w. o. Allen, September, '99 to jan
uary, 1904.
VIM. Stevenson, January, 1904 to
the time of McDade's appointment.
The Sunday School has during these
years in the main continued to pros
per, although being a branch of the
church. has of course felt the waves
of depression that have come to the
church, yet il has had no small in
fluencei IN sustaining and UNFOLDING
the church and moulding Christian
character. In fact, twice in the
church's history, we believe the Sun
day School was the principal factor
in building and holding our people to-
gether,
Our Epworth League was organized
in 1890 and has been a strong factor
in training our young people TO be
Christian workers and loyal support
ers OF the church.

The Chicago Ladies Orchestra

The third number, of the Commercial
CLUB lecture course Was given at the
Methodist church last Monday evening
before a crowded house The orchestra
was one of the best that has ever come
to this city, and it gave an entertaining
and varied program. There were sevreal
ladies and : one gentleman in the or
chestra, and each, during the course of
the program, showed great deal of in
dividual ability They are real enter
tanners and easily kept the audience in
terested to the end of the program.
The program as a whole was we'll
rendered and it is hard to pick out eauv
especial number as being the best The
reader was encored repeatedly and gave,
a number of selections in a pleasing
way. TIE first violinist pleased the an
dience very much also. She showed a
goSa deal of ability and gave number
of violin solos that were very much an
preciated. Mr.. Brooks, the manager Of
the orchestra is splendid coronetist.
His cornet solos were also encored by
the audience Ii might be of interest
to the people of this communicate know
that he was soloist in Thavieau's band
for number of years. The other mum
bers on the program were well received
and were liked by the audience
There are still two numbers to be
given on the Copercial Club lecture
course The next humber will be given
by Elias Day ON January Goth. This
number promises to he one of the best
in the course. Mr. Day is at the head
of conservatory of public speaking in
Chicago and is ranked as one of the
best readers in lyceum work, He trains
good deal of the talent for the lyceum
and his pupils can be found everywhere
The reader in the Chicago Ladies Or
chestra, who d eased the audience here
so well hast Monday evening, is one of
his pupils. The fifth and last number
of the course comes next March on the
9th. Ralph Parlette, who made good"
in the local Chautaqua last summer is
coming again at that time SO far, the
lecture course has been a success and
undoubtedly, the remaining numbers
will also be.

board pledged $4,000, and committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions.
The members and friends respond
ed so readily and literally, that the
trustees on February 9Th, voted TO
at once make preparations for build
ing.
Foster & Libbe OF Des Moines drew
the plans and bids were asked from
contractors.
Closing services IN the old church
were held from April s to 18th. A
number Of former pastors participat-
ing and Goodbye was said to the old
church Sunday, April 18th. The build
ing exclusive of foundation, tower and
furniture, was sold to T. ]. Campbell
for 5000.
On April 9th, Hart, Markley & Eddy
were awarded the contract for build
ing the church above the foundation,
and Bleayenaugh of Atlantic given the
contract for the foundation. The cor
ner stone was laid by p. +. Franklin,
assisted by Rev. Hgenfritz and in it
was deposited a bible. hymn book,
discipline, History of the Audubon
Church, names of presiding elder,
names of pastors, names OF trustees
role of membership of the church,
copies of the Audubon Republican and
Advocate and North Western and Cen
trail Christian Advocates, etc.

sisted by Revs. Ilgenfritz, ]. B. Harris,
A. w. Armstrong, 4. Dickinson, pas
tor of Presbyterian church, and r. A.
Smith, pastor Of the Baptist church.
The cost Of the church was sS,042.
$1,752 was needed to free the church
of debt. A subscription was taken
and $,1949 was pledged.
In 1908. the basement was finished
and in September OF that year, the
Annual Session of the Des Moines
conference was held in Audubon and,
although our resources for entertain
ment were taxed to the utmost, by the
help of outside friends and the mem
bers of the other churches, we were
enabled to win the praise OF the min
listers for our hospitality, and in this
connection, l am sure we owe our
Presbyterian friends debt of graft
tude for the royal manner in which
they assisted, opening their homes as
freely as our own members.
This conference assigned Rev. A. T..
jeffrey to Audubon, who remained
with us one year, and spiritually, this
was one of the best years In our his
tory; prayer meetings being very
large and the attendance at Epworth
League being so large the rear room
would not accommodate them, but
were held in the basement.
In September, 1894. Rev. w. W.
Dudley was assigned to Audubon and
did excellent work for three years,
and was sent hack for the fourth year,

theny was assigned to Audubon and
rendered two years of acceptable
service. Especially were the even
ing congregations large, the young
people flocking to hear him. II was
during his pastorate Tin 1900 thai
the present parsonage was bought
at cost of $4,000; $1,000 being paid
on it.
The salary from BrorHarris up to
this time was $1,000 per year and
parsonage rent, excepting the last
year of Bro. Shipman the salary was
placed at $3.50, but 1897 was paid to
him.
In September, 1901, Rev. p. ]. Voll.

were held and $50 probationers re-
ceived into our church; I12 of these
were received into full membership
Rev. Vollmer's salary was placed al
$1100, but only $1,029 was paid the
first year and $1,047, the second.
In September, 1903, Rev. A. A. Wal
burn was sent to us and remained two
years and under his able preaching
and wise administration the church
again began the advance movement
but Bro. Walburn was very seriously
handicapped first by the illness and
later by the death of Sister Walburn
who was taken home July 5, 1904
Bro. Walburn's salary was $1,000 per
year and parsonage rent.
In September, 1905, Rev. A. R. Grant
was assigned TO Audubon under
whose ministration our church has
continued to prosper, and take on new
life and activity in all departments
the prayer meetings showing in
creased interest and attendance, per-
haps more than any other service, and
the raising of Il subscription of 81 200
with which to liquidate the debt OF
$500 on the parsonage and $500 to
provide steel ceiling for the audi
forum of our church indicates that
our members and friends were still
very much alive. The salary remained
at $1,000 and parsonage.
AT the Annual Conference in Septem-
Der 1907 Rev. p. V. ID. Vedder was as
signed to Audubon and did efficient and
acceptable service until August 1905
when, while taking his vacation, which
he, was spending on his farm in North
Dakota Bro Vedder was stricken with
paralysis and from that time on was
unable to preach, and ct the Annual
Conference in September, at the request
of our 4th Quarterly Conference Bro.
Vedder was again assigned to Audubon
and his salary again placed at 81 200
and parsonage rent, which was paid in

to preach, but the pulpit was supplied
by neighboring pastors by arrangement
with Bro. Vedder until the first of May
1909 when he secured Rev. ID. b. 5

Northwestern School of Theology al

airy Society have each done their
share in sustaining and carrying ON
the work. Although / have not the
statistics of their work at hand.
God has been gracious in sparing
the lives of our members, and yet,
while the shadows have been falling
on homes all around us, We could
not be called from the church militant
10 the church triumphant Some have
peacefully fallen asleep, others have
died triumphantly, and because of
these bright examples of Christian
living and dying; because of these
severings OF heart strings, many of
our members feel that they have
stronger ties to bind them to the
eternal world than before.
There are many who. by their lives
of piety, Christian zeal, liberality and
devotion to the cause, are worthy of
special mention, but time forbids, and
although their good deeds may not be
recorded here, there is the assurance
that in the record written on high,
they will receive the proper recog-
milton and there will be no errors
there.
The EVENING SERVICE
The service in the morning was a
rare treat to the large congregation
that taxed the capacity of the house.
Special notice had been made of the
Stearns and A. III. Roberts concerning
a. III - 49,
so at the evening service another large
crowd was present. The paper by Mr.
Roberts was of so much local interest
that we print it in full. 1t follows:
If John j. Audubon could visit our
little city tonight, doubt not that he
would concur in the opinion of the 5000
\ Appy hearts that pulsate here, that
we are residents of the best town, in
the best county, in the best state in
these United States.
In the time at my command for the
preparation, and in the time allotted me
tonight, can only touch upon some of
the high places" in the history of Au-
dubon, and this is not written as a full
history.
