COL. HYATT VISITS
ADJUTANT GENERAL
Des Moines Will Probably Have Reg
mental Band-l. N. G. to
Turn in Revolvers.

Colonel N. P. Hyatt, who was call
ed to Des Moines Saturday evening
to confer with Adjutant General Lo-
gan in regard to the replacing of a
band in the seth regiment, returned
Sunday evening and states that it is
very probable that the band will re-
main in Des Moines, as the old band
which served with the 56th several
years has reconsidered the matter
and having also reorganized have ex-
pressed the wish of again enlisting-
Just what will be done is not known,
but it is possible the Des Moines
band will be given the opportunity
of re-enlisting and serving another
three years in the capacity OF the
56th regimental band. The average
citizen, however, will feel that as the
Des Moines organization signified
desire to quit it ought to be made
to quit now and the place given to
some other band.
Another matter that has been call
ed to the attention of the officers
and noncommissioned staff officers Of
the seth regiment is an order from
Des Moines requesting them to turn
in their revolvers which have been
issued for many years, sand receive the
new arm which has the past year
been issued to the regular army Of
ficers. This will be done immedi-
ately. While the state has issue ed
side arms to officers before, COM
missioned officers will hereaf-
ter have to buy their own sidearms
while the noncommissioned officers
will get theirs from the state.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
HOME COMING DAY
One of the Most Enjoyable Occasions
in the History of the Local
Organization.

Home coming day at the Christian
church Sunday drew a large audi
ence. At this service it was expect
ed that all the charter members OF
the church living in the city or
roundabout, would be present. About
twenty-five responded to the invita-
tion, and upon arriving were given
reserved seats in the middle section
of the church. They were also each
presented with white chrysanthe-
mum, and the older diciples of the
church wore pink carnations. The
music for the occasion was previous
ly chosen by the charter members,
and consisted of favorite hymns,
which were sung by the large chorus
choir, Mrs. l.. II. Sours, leader. In
stead of the usual scripture lesson,
favorite passages Of scripture were
given by these older members. Mrs.
A. d. McKinlay, charter member. Of
fered the opening prayer, and follow
ing the roll call of the charter men,
bers, John F. Butler, the Oldest mem
Der present, offered prayer Letters
were read from nearly all of the for
mer pastors Of the church, only three
not having been heard from. G. w.
Smith and Harvey Bosworth, both
charter members of the Cass Center
church organization, presided over
the Communion table. The sermon
was especially adapted for the occa-
sion with the subject, "The Ideal
Home" The ideal earthly home
was described and picture drawn
from this of the Christian home on
earth and the probable Christians
home in Heaven.
Great interest was shown at this
service and also the evenings SER
vice. Thirteen persons at the differ
ent services of the church entered
the church, by confession and five
more by letter.

the seventh consecutive concert at
that institution which seems to indi-
cate that the young baritone is artis-
tic beyond his years, since few in
deed can "come back" to continu-
Gus welcome.
The "Gwent Male Singers the
second number in the coming Cook
concert course, made their initial
bow to American audiences at Car
negie Hall, New York City and are
said by the New York Herald, to
"Sing with remarkable freshness and
color" Their program was long and
included solos, duets, old English
songs and those of modern compos-
ers. The choir's singing was excep-
tionally good, voices being we'll bal
anced and Mr.. Geo. F. Davies, the
nductor deserves credit for his ex-
cellent work. The Evening Post.
London, England, says, "The Royal
Gwent Male Glee Singers scored a
signal triumph at the Coliseum on
Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The
party met with rousing applause for
their exceptionally fine rendering of
Men of Harlech', Comrades in
Arms and other well-known part
songs. After being repeatedly recall
ed they responded with Land OF My
Fathers.
w. H. Cook is "crazy' about the
pending performance at the NJ. r..
church of the unique "Barrere En-
semble" which is really chamber mu-
sic on wind instruments-nine ar
lists. in place of four, as in the
Kneisel organization. He doesn't
think it possible that they can, in
four years of association, have at

performances Of the Kneisels; yet

Barrere Ensemble concert at the Be-

Patriotism at Ellsworth.

F. o. Satter, editor of the Ellis.
worth News, while in this city Sat
urday stated that the young men OF
that community were thoroughly
aroused over the prospects of war
with Mexico and that he believed a
company could be raised in that Sec
tion in a day or 50 that would give
each man Of Company c ten dollars
apiece for the privilege of taking his
place and going to the border. He
also stated that an armory could be
built in Ellsworth that would COM
pare favorably with the armory in
this city if they were given the op-
to raise company.

Webster City Loses.

The foot ball game played between
the high school team of this city and
the high school team of Algona at
the latter place Saturday resulted in
a victory for Algona. This was no
surprise to those who have been fol-
lowing foot ball games of this sec
tion and 1t was expected that the
team from this city would be beat
en- by larger score than they were.
The game was close and hard fought
and the home team think that if
they had another chance at Algona
they could win from them. The
score stood z to 0.

'REY. COLVER GOES
. TO MARSHALLT0WN
+
Accepts Call to Succeed Rev. James
J McGee-Has Been Here
IL Three Years.

Members of the Baptist church
and congregation will be disappoint-
ed to know that Rev. A. F. Colver,
who has filled the position of pastor
SO satisfactorily during the past
three years, has accepted the pas
torate of the Baptist church at Mar
shalltown and will begin his labors
in that city on the first of December.
During the morning service Sunday
Rev. Colver rendered his resignation,
and while it was not wholly uneX-
pected by members of the church it
nevertheless caused the expression of
many regrets. During his compara-
lively brief pastorate here, Rev. Col
yer has made many warm friends in
and out of the church, all of whom,
while regretting his decision to en-
ter a new field for his labors, will
wish him and his estimable wife a
pleasant and profitable residence in
Marshalltown. In speaking of his
acceptance of the Marshalltown call
the Times-Republican says; .
Rev. A. F. Colver, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Webster
City, will be the new pastor of the
First Baptist church of this city. In
a letter to 7. I. Wasson, chairman
of the board of trustees, received to-
day, Rev. Mr. Colver accepted the
call of the local church. He will
tender his resignation to the Web
ster City church Sunday, and writes
that he will begin his pastorate here
the first Sunday of December.
With the acceptance of the call
the trustees feel that they have not
only secured a strong young man to
head the church. but that they have
successfully closed long search for
sa;ch~a man. ......--s.-s
Rev.. Mr.. Colver has been pastor
of the Webster City church for about
three years. While he may not be a
native of the state, Rev. Mr.. Colver
is an Iowa reared and Iowa educated
young man. He spent his public
school days at Shell Rock, and he at
tended the high school of Usage.
From there he went to Des Moines
College, where he was graduated
eight or nine years ago.
