DAVENPORT M. E.
HAS CELEBRATION

Davenport, Dec 8.-Seventy-five
years ago the first Methodist church
services were held in Davenport by a.
pioneer circuit riding parson named
Gavitt, and Sunday the congregation
of st. Johns Methodist Episcopal
church celebrated the anniversary The
anniversary exercises covered three
days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
with Bishop Edwin Hughes of San
Francisco giving the principal address
at the morning services Sunday.
The old town of Rockingham, four
miles down the river from Davenport,
and the first settlement on the Iowa
side of the Mississippi at this point,
was the headquarters for the early
Methodist missionaries in Iowa. From
this point the early parsons rode a
circuit Of 200 miles on horseback,
penetrating to the most distant Iowa
settlements where white family could
be found.
Reverend Gavitt, who preached the
first sermon here, was missionary
to the Sac and Fox Indians who resided
in this vicinity He built the first
house in Davenport and preached the
first sermon in this house. William
H. Cook was the pioneer lay Methodist
of the vicinity, conducting bible
class even before 1910 and continuing
in this work for forty years after
ward.
| In 1910 a regular minister was
secured and the first Methodist church
in Davenport was built at Fourth and
| Perry streets. 1t was constructed OF
brick was thirty by forty feet in
dimensions and cost $500. 1t was fin
ished in December of 1910. There were
at that time fifty members and Dav-
export was the head church in Iowa.
Four years later the first Iowa confer.
ence, with Davenport as headquarters,
was organized. st. Johns church now
has more than LOO members.

Anna; but, at the first step. she

Morgan, gruffly.

Another New Feature For
Courier Readers

On the editorial page of tomorrow's
Courier there will appear an article
by Prof. David Starr Jordan, chan
cellor of Leland Stanford University.
This is one of a number of articles by
prominent writer's that will, from time
to time, appear in The Courier. For
several months past the Daily Public
Ledger of Philadelphia, one of the old
est and most responsible papers in
the east, has been working with a
view Of perfecting arrangements
whereby the Daily Ledger and the
papers cooperating with it in this
movement, will furnish to their read
ers, articles by men and women of ma
tional and international reputation.
This effort has now about reached
a successful conclusion. The publica-
ton of these articles will not begin
regularly until about the first of the
year.
The arAcle that will appear in We'd
nesday's Courier is the first that has
been submitted for publication, and is
forerunner of what The Courier
readers may expect.
The Courier will, in few days. give
further information regarding this big
editorial plan. We call the attention
of The Courier readers to Prof Jor-
dams article in tomorrow's Courier,
and feel sure that the readers will ap-
preciate the effort The Courier is max
ing to furnish them with the very best
reading matter obtainable.

The 1913 Christmas Stocking CLUB
gave out 933 pairs of stockings to 933
needy little children. This year we
want the membership to reach 1000.
The Courier Junior has many new
readers, so we will tell them something
of the club.
The Courier Junior was the hrst
Christmas club in Iowa, or any of the
nearby states and was planned right
here in this Office, December, 1906. It's
purpose is to make little children very
happy at Christmas time. Then again
if we wish to give presents at Christ
mas time and do not want our friends
to know from whom the Wits come,
Santa Claus will deliver them for us If
we ask him. You all know that Santa
Claus does not always give useful pre-
sents, such as stockings, mittens, so
the members of the Christmas Stock
ing club can supply these needs. All
one has to do to become member of
the club is to give nice pair of we'll
filled stockings.
HERE is THE WAY TO FILL A
STOCKINGS:
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also a toy, an orange, pair
of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many of the Juniors fill both
stockings On the card with the donors
name put the age of the child for whom
the stockings are intended.
We will publish the names of the
members of the club every day until
Christmas. We do not want the stock.
ings until the Monday before Christ
mas but we will be- glad to have the
names Of the children and grownups,
who care to belong to the club right
away. Juniors and grownusp living at
a distance can send pair of stockings
also sum of money sufficient to buy
the candy, toys and mittens.
We are SO glad to have the grown
ups interested in the club. These gifts
may seem small but they bring untold
pleasure to many needy little children.
The stockings will be left just as the
donors bring them in, and will be dis
trihuted Christmas eve direct from
this Office, among little children whose
parents are unable to provide. any
Christmas cheer and to little ones be-
reft Of their parents.
The club membership up to 10 a. m.

park could be heard, but no one came
along the outer road Soon the figure
on the seat became indistinct; only the
rampant white feather pierced the
darkness. The lonely girl grew really
apprehensive. Even if any one Should
come now, she would be timid about
hailing a stranger in the night. The
pain in her crippled foot became in
tense and she had to set her teeth
sometimes to hear the sharp pangs
without crying out.
Then came a gay whistle out Of the
shadows, lifting like birds song.
Surely it would be safe to hail one who
could whistle in that way.
"Boy! Boy!" cried Anna. 100000

The whistling lad approached won

scurried away like rabbit. A few

GRAND OPERA COMPANY
WILL APPEAR IN DELTA

It is not often that the music lovers
of this city and vicinity are given an
opportunity to hear grand opera by
high class company, but this is inst
what has been arranged by Mr.. Boone,
manager of the Delta opera house, who
has made positive guarantee OF two
hundred dollars to the David Duggan
Opera company for appearance one
night, Friday, June &c. If you like
high class music, this is your chance
to hear it at home and you will also
show that you are willing to support
such attractions.
OF the Duggan company the Chicago
Evening Post has this to say: The
opera opened with the Celeste Aida
No more artistic aria for the tenor is
known, coming as it does in cold blood
before the singer has any chance TO
warm up or feel his audience, but
Duggan showed that he knew what he
was there for His voice is young,
fresh and full of great power. His
work is pleasure 10 listen to-

BRIDGE LODGES NEAR TRACK
DYNAMITE SHOTS TERRlFY ALL

Two heavy shots were heard by
residents of this city at about s. go
O'Clock Wednesday evening-shots
that were capable of jarring things
considerable for distance of two or
three miles-and no one seemed TO
know where. or what the cause for
such shooting. Inquiry yesterday
morning elected the fact that the old
wooden bridge, lodged a mile and a
quarter down the Uncompahgre river,
after breaking away from its former
place at the foot of Fourth street, had
caused the river to overflow Rio
Grande tracks and force OF men was
dynamiting the debris loose, so that
it might go on its way down stream.

Our Reporter Sees Anglers at Lakes
Some Big Things Caught in Blizzard

What Independent news reporter
saw last Saturday when out on an auto
trip to the Paonia district with Z. ].

city was well worth seei-g for any
one who Is interested In tho business
health Of the country in which he lives
and in the prospects for financial re-
turns to his fellow beings who are max
ing developments. And this was moth
ing more than a perfect and continu'
ous stretch of healthy crops OF all
kinds.
During a short visit at Hotchkiss
several of the prominent orchardists
we're heard 20 remark that never be-
fore in the history OF the town had
everything seemed more promising for
the district than right now.
The same condition exists at Paonia
and after a drive through certain sec
tions OF that district II was easy for
us TO decide that one of the fruit men
there was justified In his claim that
the Paonia district alone would ship
out nearly two thousand cars o! fruit
this fall. All other crops in that sec
tion are looking good and the residents
naturally feeling more or less elated
over the prospects.

North Delta Man
Hurt in Runaway

Matthew Umbrell, one of the well
known truck gardeners and small fruit
growers of North Delta, was thrown
from his delivery wagon in a runaway
last Monday morning and sustained
quite a number of severe cuts and
bruises One of the wounds was a
deep cut Immediately above the left
eye which required some five or six
stitches when being treated by local
surgeon.
Umbrellas horse took fright when
an empty berry crate tumbled from the
top of load and got tangled up with
one of the wheels. The rig was at
point near one OF the lumber yards
standing in the north end of the city
and the frightened animal started at
once on his wild race, but had gone
only a short distance when the driver
who did not seem to have hold Of the
reins, fell with considerable force. The
unfortunate man was picked up by
persons who saw the accident and ia
ken to local surgeon for the neces-
sary attention. He is now said TO be
getting along nicely.

Crops Show Gain
Over Other States

Colorado ranked fifth among all the
states in the country. June /, in the
condition of tweunty-three crops re-
ported upon by the United States de
partment of agriculture.
The greatest gain made by any state
in the union was in Kansas where the
crop average was placed at 1928 com
pared with the ten-year average Cal
ifornia, Mississippi and Nebraska were
the three states whose crop conditions
exceeded Colorado's on June l.
The crops included in this report
were winter wheat. apples, alfalfa,
sugar beets, barley, hemp, pears. rye,
peaches, raspberries. cantaloupe,
spring wheat. lima beans. hay, oats,
blackberries-all of which were 100
per cent-and above the ten-year aver
age, pasture. onions, cabbage, water
melons. sugar cane. clover and cotton,
all slightly under 100 per cent.
Government reports give an increase
OF almost 100000 over 1918 for the
1914 hay, rye. barley. wheat and oat
crop in Colorado. A 40 per cent In
crease is estimated for the states corn
and sugar beet crop.

Jury Inspect the
Supply Source

The jury in the condemnation
case which was begun in the district
court here before Judge W. s, Morris
of Colorado Springs last week in the
absence of Judge Black. made a tour
of inspection OF Dirty George creek
or more particularly perhaps that part
of this mountain stream where the
City of Delta will make a tap and get
its supply OF water for domestic uses.
on Tuesday, and on Wednesday morn
ing at O'Clock the taking of testi-
mony was resumed with Judge Black
presiding.
Judge Morris was called to his home
in Colorado Springs on important bust
ness and the rest of the hearing will
be before Judge Black Many wit
nesses are on hand and it is hardly
possible, it is said, to complete the
taking of testimony before the end OF
the week. All are awaiting the finish
with more than average interest.
Since the above was put in type
the case was given to the jury and n
verdict looked for shortly after Inde-
pendent went to press.

Beginning of the End

About what always happens in such
cases is now happening in Butte,
Montana, which had been one Of the
strongest union camps in this country.
The union miners themselves have
revolted against their leaders and the
big copper camp is in a martial state
This is what Independent has pre-
dicted. II was bound 10 come. Bet
ter If it had come long ago Better
still if it had come with saneness and
reason instead of with racuous dis
play and strife
But 1t had to come. The agitator-
ship of the labor union. out for reve-
nue. mainly. was as sure to burst the
bubble as day was to continually fol-
low night
When the union grew into an almost
worldwide combination, its mercen-
airy leaders began to exploit II as fl
nancial proposition. In Butte, as in
other sections, hundreds of thousands
of dollars were ordered to strike sec
tons, and in many instances it is said
the assessments against members were
kept up long after strikes were over.
This and the lawless methods advised
by the leaders have at last started a
revolt. and at no place could the re
volt launch with more emphatic ar
raignment than at Butte.
And the movement will not stop
there. The same violent procedure
may not obtain. generally, but the
steady miner and those of other trades,
will not continue so ready TO listen in
future TO the walls of the agitator
The rank and file of labor will not
always submit TO fellows who have
long steered them against hardships,
failures and nearly ruin. in order that
they, hypocrites and criminals, might
fill their own pockets. But in all such
cases, they were bound TO overdo and
bound, eventually. TO fall.

The Mili,ants and the King

The militants Of England are badly
advised in making the king the object
OF their antagonism. Loyalty 10 the
throne is a sentiment so deeply rooted
in the British breast that no cause can
hope to gain anything by challenging
its indignation.
Assuredly cries of Shoot the King!"
said to have been uttered at militant
meeting following the recent disturb
ance near buckingham palace, are to
be deplored and sternly discountenanc-
ed. From such ill-considered express
ions grow mad deeds. Liberty wins
sorry triumphs through the Staying
of individuals The man is too much
the product of his environment, the
personal expression Of conditions for
which he is not himself responsible.
His violent removal would leave the
evils he may symbolize uncured. and
postpone Indefinitely their remedy.
The leaders of the militant move
should hasten to put immediate check
upon any tendency to advance the
propaganda of the deed" from is
present plane OF demonstration, in
which property alone is threatened,
to that in which life may be made the
object Of an attack.-Denver News.
