of the Holy Bankak it costs one hund,

ion piece:

But If the prescriptions Of new tunes
does not end congregational singing,
| have another suggestion. Get an ir-
religious choir, and put them in a
high balcony back of the congrega-
ton. l know choirs who are made up
chiefly of religious people, or those, at
least, respectful for sacred things.
That will never do if you want to kill
the music. The theatrical troupe are
not busy elsewhere on Sabbath, and
you can get them at half price to
sing the praises of the Lord. Meet
them in the green-room at the close
of the BLACK Crook" and secure them.

Public Announcement

To the Editor of the st. Johns
Review: Whereas. the city
council has issued an order clos
ing the churches. schools and
some other places of public gath
erings, and desiring that il be
known that we are in perfect
harmony and accord with every
effort put forth by our city Off
cials to conserve the health and
welfare of the people of our city,
we, the undersigned pastors of
various churches in the city of
st. Johns, wish 10 make the fol-
lowing statement and announce
ment, TO wit;
That we appreciate the efforts
which our officials are making to
stamp out the dread disease,
smallpox, from our midst, and
that we desire TO assist in every
way possible. and call upon our
people to do the same. that com
plete relief from this scourge
may soon be attained.
That in view of the foregoing.
we have closed our churches TO
all public services for Sunday,
January 25th, and in the mean
time will await developments,
and propose TO be governed ac-
cordingly. and as we are inform
ed that the public schools are not
going to close, and if in the
meantime that fact seems TO be
verified and the public schools
remain open, we can see no good
and valid reason why our
churches should continue closed
and our services suspended for a
further length of time.
Announcement as TO the mat
ter of services for Sunday, Feb
ruary lst. will be made through
the press next week.

A Communication

Editor Review: In the Review
of last week appeared the fol-
lowing:
The committee on parks re-
ported that the lowest price il
was able to secure on the Mark
wart tract was $6, 800. not incud-
ing Indebtedness for sewer pur-
poses, or $1,000 clear of all in
debtedness; that it was unable
to secure a lower price than
$40, 600 on the Caples tract. On
motion it was decided to reject
the Markwart tract on account
of excessive price.
The inference to be drawn
from the foregoing is that the
Caples tract would stand the
city only $40. whereas there
is about $500 to $4,000 in street
improvement TO be assumed, the
tender requiring the city to as
sumo Improvement charges.
The SO. 900. plus improvement
charges. brings the price to over
81, 600 per acre. The Jaeger
tract had a greater area and a
less price, and equally as good
for park purposes. This to cor
rect erroneous statements and
impressions and not TO knock.
ID. c. LEWIS.
(The language used i'm the
above clipping was the same as
used by the councils park COM
mittee in making its report.
Street improvements i'm relation
TO the Caples tract was not mem
toned, although we believe il
was generally understood that
they were not included in the
offer. We appreciate Mr.. Lewis
efforts to be fair. IL is true
there are street improvements
that possibly total $l700 in three
improvements. IL is also true
that there are assessments
against the Jaeger tract for
street Improvements. although
in not so large amount. Ii is also
true that the committee of which
Mr.. Lewis was chairman recon-
mended land for park purposes
that was higher in price than
the Caples tract per acre. much
farther from the business sec.
tion and the car track. Ii is
true that the street improvement
indebtedness against the Caples
tract IL considerably less than
the improvements actually cost.
IL is true that other park sites
recommended by the mass meet
ings would also necessarily have
TO incur street improvement in
debtedness TO make them better
adapted for park purposes. Why
Mr.. Lewis should bring in the
Jaeger tract for comparison
when il was not recommended
by the final mass meeting, is not
made clear. As a matter of fact,
the Review ADVOCATED the pur-
chase of the Caples tract several
years ago for park purposes, and
since the same tract can now be
purchased. including all street
Improvement indebtedness. at a
less price than it could be secur-
ed then, we have had no reason
TO change our mind. However,
we have not the slightest objec-
tion TO any other tract offered,
and have opposed none. And
no one has offered. then or since,
TO take care" of us or promised
any remuneration whatever. We
believed then. as we believe
now. that the Caples tract is ad-
mirably situated. is easily acces-
sible, and we'll adapted for park
purposes. and in our eyes the
street improvements only en-
hance its desirability. And the
price named is as low or lower

Independence Boy Wonder.

Master Russell Hunt, aged near
ly four, and his small sister Juanita
aged two, children of Mr.. and Mrs
A. l.. Hunt of Independence were al
play on a davenport in the Hunt
home over the Meyers French dry
cleaning establishment on Main
street. The davenport was near a
front window and in their play Mas
ter Russell in some way pushed his
sister through the window so far
that over half her small body was
outside and ready to fall to the &C.
ment walk below. The boy, howev-
er, had the presence of mind, young
as he is, to grab her by the feet and
hold on. Her father, who works in
the cleaning establishment, heard the
broken glass shatter on the walk
and ran out to see the startling pre-
dicament his little daughter was in.
He Immediately ran upstairs to her
aid, but Mrs. Hunt had heard the
cries of the children and ran in and
caught the child before she could
fall, the small brother in the mean
time having hung on to her for dear
life, thus saving her from probable
serious injury. Juanita sustained
some bad cuts on the forehead, but
aside from that is none the worse
for her trying experience. This is the
ed his small sister from injury and
perhaps death. His great presence of
mind, hardly to be expected in one
the feet and holding on, is indeed re-
markable.

DYNAMITE IN OLD CLOCK.
Leon Trusty of IOnia is Hurt WheI
Cartridge ExplOdes.

Leon Trusty of Ionia, who is en-
ployed at the Stanton Co.'s jewelry
store at Charles City suffered a pain
full and what may prove a serious &C
cident one day last week.
A prominent farmer had some few
days ago, brought an old-fashioned
clock, of the variety controlled by
weights to the Stanton store to be
cleaned and repaired. Inside the
clock had been placed for safe keep
ing, and in all probability forgotten
by the owner, a dynamite cartridge
Mr.. Trusty after emptying the clock
of various articles, picked up the
cartridge, and not knowing what il
was proceeded to examine it, shak.
ing it in his left hand, when the dy-
Mantle exploded taking the ends OF
the third finger and thumb of the
left hand off at the base of the nails
burning and decorating his face and
right hand in terrible manner. Aft

juries, the young man felt plain in
his foot, and it was then discovered
a piece of the shell had penetrated
his shoe and entered his foot.

Many chicken owners who have
large quantities of eggs to dispose OF
are in the habit of washing all eggs
with dirty shells for the purpose OF
them more attractive for the
market. While this is often done
with the best intentions in the world,
the Times is assured by a Carroll
egg buyer that it is serious mistake
and involves much loss to those who
have to handle the eggs. A washed
egg will spoil more quickly than will
the egg with a dirty shell and this is
true with respect to eggs
placed in cold storage. 1t is useless
to try to preserve washed eggs by re-
frigeration. For this reason the
practice of washing eggs should be
abandoned by those who have been
practicing it. Expert buyers can al
ways tell the difference between the
washed egg and the one that Is nat
urally clean and they will pay better
prices for even dirty eggs, If they
show evidences of freshness than for
those that have been washed.-Car-
roll Times.

BROTHER ABOUT TO WED SISTER
Relationship is Discovered Through
Rings Worn as Keepsakes.

Two rings rang the passing of the
dreams of welded life together of
Frank Cameron and Mary Hardy,
homesteaders, who were to have be-
gun their honeymoon at Greedy, Colo,
on Thursday.
Cameron wore one of the rings as
watch charm. Miss Hardy had the
other as keepsake from her broth
er.
The two rings proved Miss Hardy
and Cameron to be brother and Sis
ter. Cameron is As years old. His
homestead is located fifteen miles
from his nearest neighbour Miss Har-
dy, at Buckingham, Colorado.
An acquaintance of a year termin-
ated yesterday in Camerons secur-
ing a license and speeding with a
wedding ring to his fair neighbours
ranch. Cameron was dressed in his
wedding clothes. On his watch
chain dangled a little ring given him
thirty-four years ago when as or
phans they were taken to different
orphanages in Iowa.
Where did you get that ring?"
Miss Hardy asked pointing to the
watch chain.
He told her and she left him to
find keepsake a ring carved from
a dime given her by her brother
when she left him for an orphanage.
Cameron recognized the ring he had
given her when he was eleven and
she was nine, so that they would al
ways remember each other.

ONCE THRIVING TOWN.
Village Of Hardin Between Luana
and Postville Was Thriving Place
i'm Early Days.

McGregor, Ia, Mch. 2.-What is
said to be the largest abstract ever
written in Clayton county has just
been drawn UP for F. c. Parnell OF
McGregor by Attorney A. ]. Palas at
Elkader. 1t contains sixty typewrit-
ten pages, $50 instruments are re-
corded, 800 others were examined
and Mr.. Parnell paid bill of $780,
Az before the instrument was hand
ed over to him.
The land covered in the abstract
is the abandoned townsite of the
former village of Hardin between
Luana and Postville.
In the early days a thriving will
age existed at Hardin. The town
was a halfway station for the settlers
of northeastern Iowa in their Jour
neys to and from McGregor where
they were obliged to carry their pro-
duce for shipment by boat. There
were five general stores doing a
flourishing business at Hardin in
those days, half dozen blacksmith
shops, a hotel and variety of other
business places with quite a collec-
tion of dwellings.
Many believed that Hardin was
destined to be the biggest town in
the northern part of the state and
town lots sold at boom prices.
Then the railroad passed Hardin
Two miles and half away and the
inevitable happened. The flourish
ing village died a rapid death. 1t
was only a short time before the pillow
was running corn burrows through
the grass grown streets.
Nothing now remains of the form
er town but the church.
Thirty-five years ago Mr.. Parnell's
father-in-law, Nelson MCGEE, bought
thirty-eight acres about the townsite.
Though he has been in possession OF
it and farmed the land since, clear
title had never been obtained until
the piece was recently sold and Mr..
Parnell had to furnish an abstract
1t was discovered that two early sur
veys of town lots overlapped each
other and that the plotting of two
additions to the town later had SO
futher mixed things up that many
days of labor were required to
straighten out the tangle.

The farms of Iowa are worth more

shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia.
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico,

The increase in value of Iowa farm
land in the last ten years is greater
than the increase in value of all the
farm land in Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah, Nevada, Arkansas, Louisiana,
and Oregon combined.
The farm buildings of Iowa are
worth more than the farm buildings

Iowa's farm implements are worth
more than the farm implements of

The farm lands of Iowa in the

alone amounts to more than the aver
