Twenty-Five Years Ago
. From The Courier Files =

February 14.-C. e. McDaniel's toll
or factory one block west of the lev
depot took fire about 1O:45 last even
ing and while the depot reception was
going on was entirely Quilted. The
railroad locomotives and the city fire
bell raised terrible clamor and the
fire company was promptly on hand
but owing to the combustible nature Of
the building it was speedily burned
out. The police patrol started to The
fire and at the intersection Of Main
and Wapello streets overturned, injur
ing several of the, persons who were
riding In it.
The opening Of the new depot last
evening, if numbers are considered
was an accomplished success. From
1880 p. m. until II the large building
was packed with people inspecting the
handsome rooms, both above and be-
low. From five to six thousand people
must have visited the building, and the
universal verdict seemed to be Its
grand" When trains No. 1, 4 and 5
came in the platforms were packed
with citizens and the passengers who
got on seemed to be bewildered, rot
knowing but that they had struck a
new Chicago or some other big city
out ON the prairies Of Iowa. The dining
room, on account of the great crowd,
had to be closed, which was disap.
pointment to many who wished to look
through. General Superintendent Bess-
Ter and General Manager Ripley came
IN on their special car, and intended to
help welcome the visitors, but the
crush was more than they could stand
and they retired to their car until az
ter II partially Abated. 1t may be set
down % the most successful "crush
party" ever held I'm the city and every
body seemed to enjoy it immensely.

ties-want the Bible taught in the
public schools.
The proper step to be taken IN this
direction puzzled them when they
met in the 38th annual convention
here yesterday, largely because the
ladies were sure what the state law
says.
Some insisted the law forbids Bible
instruction in the schools and they
wanted legislative action taken to
make this instruction optional. The
law leaves it up to the various school
boards, but there was nobody pres
ent to explain this TO the convention.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by the president Mrs.

"How God Caught Runaway" Is the

IIindig'S Sermon.
"How God Caught a Runaway was
the subject taken by Evangelist c. c.
Kindig at the Church OF the Brethren
Wednesday evening. He also ad-
vanced a very good argument for the
authenticity Of the story Of Jonah and
the whale, saying that the critics who
pick the story TO pieces are setting
their judgment up against that Of the
Saviour, who recognized the Book OF
Jonah to be inspired writings. He
said in part:
THE city Of Nineveh was a wicked
city and it was Gods viii that her
many inhabitants should be saved. so
He sends a man with a message that
will save the people from their sins.
That man is afraid TO face the many
people Of Nineveh and is seen running
down to the pier at Joppa and hur-
riedly goes down into a ship and sails
the opposite direction.
