DIED AT THE AGE OF SO YEARS

Fort Dodge, Jan. Isl. S. Cof-
fin, Familiarity known among the
railroad men of the country as
Father" Coffin, whose activity pro-
cured the adoption of safety devices
on the railroads Of the United
States, died at his home on Willow
edge farm, near this city, at $50
yesterday morning. He was SO

place on the farm where Mr.. Cof-
fms wife is buried.
Mr.. Coffin came here in 1855

his daughter, Mrs. John Rutledge,
who was at his bedside when the
end came.
During his residence in Iowa Mr..

fortune, much of which he donated
to small colleges. He was promi-
nent in temperance work.

Inspiring Services.

The services at the Church of the
Nazarene Sunday were seasons of
refreshing from the presence of the
Lord. A time of prayer followed
the sermon by the pastor in the
morning from the text, Isaiah
61:1O. The praise meeting at p.
m. was in charge of Miss Rose Wep-
ell At the close of the evening SER
mon from Matt. SIS two responded
to the altar call, one young man be-
ing wholly sanctified and one young
woman sought forgiveness.
A special series of meetings will
be held in April with Mrs. Matte
Wines of Marshalltown as evange.
list, and Mrs. Amy Dobson Of Uni

to the Iowa board of railroad com
missioners by Gov. Buren, r. Sher
man. While acting in this capacit,
he made a study of the casualtie:
on the railroads and was appalled,
by the magnitude OF the fatalities
and injuries suffered by men operat
ing trains then equipped with the
link and pin coupling.
He drafted a measure by which
the roads were given five years in
which to equip themselves with
safety couplings and secured its
passage in the Iowa general assemb-
Iy. This was the first law on the
subject in the United States.
He followed up his activities with
such result that President Harrison
in his inaugural address, after con-
sulting with Father" Coffin, stat
ed that:
at is a disgrace to our civiliza-
llou lHdI iieil Ill q ie1"iul SAhpioy
ment for livelihood should be ex-
posed to greater danger than SOL
diers in time Of actual war"
With this sentiment as a basis
Mr.. Coffin went to work at Wash
ington to secure the adoption of
similar law by congress. This meas
ure--the one dream of Father Coffin
was signed by President Harrison
on March 2, 1898, two days before
his retirement from office. 1t was
passed against the bitter opposition
of the railroads.
After the period had elapsed
which was granted the railroads to
make the changes the interstate
commerce report showed that casu-
alties had been reduced on the rail-
roads of the country 65 per cent.
Father Coffin was associated with
the Railroad Temperance associa-
tion. In connection with this work
he was an important contributor
and promoter of home for dis
abled trainmen located near Chi
cago.
In 1892 he donated twenty acres
of his 500 acre farm and $4,000
for the establishment of an ex-con-
victs' home. This plat of land and
the building upon it was later Civ
en- to the Women's Christian Temp
erance union for Benedict home. !

CAR IN ACCIDENT
OWNED AT WILLIAMS
County Authorities Ought to Prose.
cute the Case and Make an
Example.

Mayor Valentine this morning
heard from the Office of secretary Of
state in regard to the owner of the
car, whose number was sent to that
Office following the collision of last
week on the north road in which
the vehicle driven by Phinneas Noe
and Earl Barr of Lehigh was struck
and the occupants thrown out. The
car belongs to man by the name
of Caruth of Williams, although it
may not have been driven by the
owner.
VIM. Wilke of the Wilke garage
says that the two men who were in
the car left his garage but short
time before and were intoxicated
when they left. If such was the
case, it is probable that some action
will be taken by the county author
tiles in regard to the matter.
Such case as this should not be
permitted to pass unnoticed. An
automobile in the hands of drunk
ard is more dangerous than an arm
ed lunatic upon the public highway.
The men responsible for this acci-
dent ought to be ferreted out and
made to suffer the full penalty for
their recklessness and Indifference
to the public safety.

TWO VERY |NSP|R-
ING ADDRESSES
w. D. Stem, Secretary Of State Sun
DAY School Association, in
the City.

W. d. Stem, secretary of the Iowa
Sunday School Association, who oc-
cupied the Congregational church
pulpit Sunday morning and even
ing, is most interesting speaker.
Mr.. Stem thinks the Sunday school
should be primarily an evangelistic
institution, and not only place
where the Bible is taught and. stud
led. He believes the adult Bible
class in the Sunday school especial
ly should be an organized, efficient
influence to bring men to a person
al knowledge of Jesus Christ as
their Saviour and gave his time to
a discussion of the individual eff
forts of Sunday school workers
which had come under his own per-
sonal knowledge and experience, cit
ing example after example where
men had been brought under tbe
power of the saving grace of Christ
who had been redeemed from a
life of shame and sin to places OF
honor and influence in the commun-
ity where they reside.
His addresses are especially evan
gelistic and inspiring and bring
home with peculiar force and power
to all Christians, and particularly to
Sunday school workers, the great
opportunities they have in spread
ing the gospel and making it
practical in bringing others to ack-
nowledge Jesus Christ as their per-
sona) Savior.
M. Stem was greeted with a fair
sized audience in the morning,
which was considerably augmented
in the evening, and everybody who
heard him was intensely interested.
