AS is generally known, the offer
of Mr.. Smith is that he will give

easy task for the committee to &c
complish, and they ask the hearty
cooperation of every citizen, not
alone of DEBORAH, but of Winnesliek
county. 1t is earnestly desired that
every citizen shall have share in
this most worthy enterprise, as it
will be devoted to the good of all the
people within many miles of Decor
ali. You can contribute to nothing
more worthy than hospital, and
in order to make such an institution
possible in DEBORAH, the support Of
!, all will be necessary.
1t will not be possible for the COM
mittee to call on everyone, therefore
kindly leave subscriptions at any OF
the DEBORAH banks or with any mem
Der of the committee.

500 Iowa Veterans to Gettysburg.

oOO loWd tctSFdhs 10 Uctty SDuTSs
Nearly 500 Iowa Veterans of the
civil war will attend the semi-cen-
tennial anniversary of the battle OF
! Gettysburg to be held on the battle
| field on June 1, 2, and 4 according
to B. G.. Ward of Des Moines, ap-
pointed by the governor as represent
alive of Iowa on the commission in
charge of the arrangements for the
big event. Mr. Ward has made reser-
vations for 500 old soldiers from
Iowa.
Not only residents of Iowa who
were in the battle of Gettysburg, but
all old soldiers are entitled to attend
the meeting. Iowa veterans of the
battle will receive their transporta-
ton from the state. Other veterans
must pay their transportation but
will have no expenses to pay while
at Gettysburg and will receive all the
courtesies extended to the old sold
iers there by the government and the
state of Pennsylvania. All veterans
will be required to show their creden-
tials at the camp.
At meeting held in Washington
recently which Mr.. Ward attended,
he says that the southern states
pledged the attendance of thousands
of confederate veterans at the big
gathering. Arrangements are being
made for 10000 veterans. They will
be housed in tents in large camp
to which none but old soldiers, not
even their families, will be admitted
1T will be the greatest peace spec
tacle the world ever saw when the
union and confederate veterans
march arm in arm over the great bat
tlefield," said Mr.. Ward. I'VE are
not asking the confederate veterans
to be present to gloat over our VIC
tory, but to celebrate peace. The
cornerstone for a great peace monu-
ment will be erected on July A."

Woman's Suffrage Tends to Make
Sex Masculine Says Rev. Edwards

Referring only generally to the
topic. Rev. ID. Luther Edwards left u
distinct impression upon the minds
Of his hearers last night in his ser
mon on Woman and Her Sphere
that he considered woman's rights
and the franchise a distinctly unfor-
tunate propaganda. He did not COM
nit himself definitely, but his refere-
ences to the subject were decidedly
negative.
The minister used Esther as an ex-
ample OF how God places every wom-
an in her proper sphere and how
woman should make use of it. He
said that the book of Esther taught
that woman is so constituted that
there are some things for which she
IL better fitted than men
God named woman Ezer. meaning
'helpmeet. he said. Adam named
her lsha, meaning wife, and Eva,
meaning mother. Genesis teaches
us that woman was not made to du-
plicate man but as a complement
she was made to supply his defects" +"
In speaking of woman suffrage,
Rev Edwards deplored the tendency
which makes woman turn toward the
masculine. True woman's rights"
he said, ARE right insofar as they
agitate and endeavor to remove from
woman's pathway those things which
tend to drag womanhood down
which tend to hinder her from the
development of her womanhood.
Speaking of woman going out of
her sphere, he said: 1T is the ruin
alton of the home and works to the
degradation of society and to the deg
relation of mankind"
Next Sunday night the pastor will
speak on Woman and Her Hus-
band" using Rebecca as the example.
There is to be nothing sensational
in this series of sermons. but they are
in response to n request that he speak
on woman and her needs.
