Era of Submarines.

The day is approaching when sea-
speed will accompany the main fleet
on the high seas. Large vessels Of
this type, of Fl knots speed, have been
designed for the United States navy.
Great Britain is building, in the Nau-
titus, the largest submarine in exist
ence, which is intended to be as sea-
worthy while on the surface as the
latest type of destroyer. It's surface
speed will be not less than 81 knots,
and it will have a submerged speed OF
from Is to 16 knots; it will carry six
torpedo tubes, and the surface dis
placement will be about one thousand
five hundred tons.

Peculiar Furnishing of Birds Nest.

A golfer who was playing over the
ST. Neots (Huntingdonshire, England)
links the other day hit his ball into
a hedge, and after searching for it
some time without success, observed
birds nest. From curiosity more
than with any expectation of finding
his ball there he looked into the nest
and found not only his own ball, but
three others as well.

Shepherd Doc Led COYOTE Pack,

When the leader of coyote pack
was killed recently in Sligo, Colo, 1t
was found to be shepherd collie dog
with a brass collar about its neck.
This explained partly the boldness of
the pack, which had often come up
into the very yards of the settlers.

REJECT
CONSOLIDATION NOW

Council Bluffs, Jan. 13.-Members of
the Swedish Lutheran church at their
annual meeting practically rejected a
proposition from the English Lutheran
congregation of this city for consolida-
ton. The proposal Of the English
church members embodied the uniting
Of the two in the English edifice, the
Swedish building being sold to settle
financial obligations of the other body.
The consolidation negotiations called
here President G. A. Rybeck of Gowrie,
Ia, and Vice President p. Peterson of
Stanton, Ia, officers Of the Iowa Luth-
eran conference Of which the Swedish
church is a member. These pastors
were here during the week but did not
attend the annual meeting.
1t is understood that the English
church members ask that the Swedish
Lutheran congregation conduct their
services with them in the edifice at
Seventh street and Willow avenue, the
Swedish Lutheran building at Mill and
Seventh streets being sold and the out
standing indebtedness OF the English
congregation being paid thereby.
The Swedish Lutheran members who
helped in building and establishing
their church here are declaring against
the disposal Of their edifice made clear
by long association, it Is declared.
1t was practically decided at the an
nual meeting to reject this and other
propositions as they now stand. Ac-
cording to Rev. F.. Glad the difference
in languages would be no small OBJ
stacle in the way of uniting. At the
Swedish church nearly all services are
at present conducted in the Swedish
tongue The Creeds Of the two bodies
are not radically different.
The finances Of the church were de-
clared at the annual meeting to be in
excellent shape, there being over 5000
in the different treasures. Oscar Ham
merstrom and A. Leffgren were elected
as deacons to serve three years and
William Nelson and Peter Larson We're
elected trustees for like terms. Two
deacons and trustees whose terms will
expire in a year hold their offices for
that period.

WOULD KEEP ALL
|0VVANS IN STATE
COUNTY AUDITOR STEVENS RE.
CEVES COMMUNICATION FROM
DIES MONIES COMMITTEE

! County Auditor James F. Stevens
has received communication from
the Greater Des Moines committee in
which the cooperation of each city,
county and commercial organization
is asked in the work of keeping the
people of Iowa in the state.
The article dwells at some length on
| the problem which it states that Iowa
has to solve, which is the fact that
! the state is losing money and popula-
ton by the influence OF the home
seekers rates that are advertised by
the railroads. This article would i'm
press upon the reader the necessity
for cooperation to induce the railroads
to abandon such rates in the future.
A resolution Is included in the
article and it embodies the same spirit
shown in the communication. 1t Is
stated that an effort should be made
on the part of the railroads running
through these emigrant lands to try
and make inducements to the people
of the congested districts of Europe
and also of the eastern cities In the
United States. These it states are
the people who could be benefited by
such an emigration. 1t further urges
the general passenger agents of the
various railroads in Iowa and the
chairman of the general passenger
agents association to join in such &C.
ton as will abolish all homeseekers'
rates and excursion rates from this
state to others. Mr.. Stevens states
that in compliance with the request he
would mail copy of the letter and
resolution to each of the railroads in
the city and also to the Ottumwa Com
