Death Of M. P. Moran.

The Decorah Journal records the
death of M. P. Moran, a man we'll
known to many Cresco people, which
occurred there at the city hospital early
last Saturday morning. He was taken
ill about the middle of July and taken
to the hospital, where on July 29th an
operation for an abscess near the ap-
pendix was performed.
Mr.. Moran was manager of the
Standard Telephone Co., and was a
frequent visitor in Cresco when that
company maintained an exchange here.
The funeral was held on Sunday at
St. Benedict's church, large number
of Knights of Columbus from Cresco
attending. The remains were taken to
his old home at Madison, Wis, where
his wife is buried. He leaves two
daughters to mourn his loss.

Rotten Road to Riceyille.

The writer autoed to Cresco from
Clear Lake on Saturday last, and from
the latter place, all through Cerro
Gordo and Mitchell Counties, roads
were in fine condition, dragged smooth
and with no bad holes, and those
remaining were being filled with gravel.
On reaching Riceville, we enquired con-
cerning the regular Cresco road and
were informed that it was I'D rough
all the way and full of holes but you
can get through" and such proved to
be the case. Though week had
elapsed since a rain, no dragging had
been done on the entire length, and deep
holes were encountered, holes that
have existed all summer, and which
could be fixed with a little drainage and
a few loads of gravel. Those entrusted
with the road work of Howard County
would please the public greatly if they
would cease ripping up present roads
with grading crew, and surveying for
more grading, fix up the holes in the
roads, fill and smooth up the approaches
to culverts put in last year, and attend
to the proper dragging of the roads we
now have.

Resisted Hail Insurance Premiums.

Five Howard County men, j. w.
Turnmire, F. Zak, Owen G. Jones and
Frank and Joe Kakac employed Charles
Pergler to go to Des Moines last week
to represent them in suits brought
against them in Polk County to collect
premiums due on hail storm insurance
policies held by them in the Farmers
Mutual of Des Moines. The parties
alleged that they were written by Thos.
Bohen, of Riceville, who secured their
applications by Misrepresentation and
they accordingly refused payment of
assessments. The suits were settled
out of court by the Farmers Mutual
who claimed that the policies were
written in another company whose busl-
ness had been absorbed by them and
that they supposed there was no
suspicion of any unfair dealing when
the policies we're written,

Received Electric Shock.

Reed Elwood was severely burned on
the right hand Sunday evening while
pressing an electric switch at the FL
wood home. The primary and second
ary wires in the west side of town were
crossed and the heavy voltage was en-
tering buildings over the secondary
wires. Just as Mr.. Elwood touched
the switch he received shock suffic
lent to burn two of the fingers on his
right hand severely.
The same evening Robert Mabry was
shocked into insensibility when he
touched switch in Diekmann's gar
age. 1t was some time before he re-
covered consciousness. Fred City in
the Davies Drug store started to wipe
off the electric mixer. He approached
the device with a wet cloth in his hand
but the next instant he found himself
in heap on the floor. .-Elma New Era.

Tent Meeting Notes and Program.

Tent Meeting Notes and Program.
The tent meetings two blocks west OF
the Court house are being attended by
large audiences as the weather is bet
ter. The large congregation Sunday
night much enjoyed the stirring topic,
'The Dawn and the History Of the
Millennium" by Evangelist Wolfe. Free
literature is also on the table every
night. This is part of the colportuer
work of the denomination.
Colporteurs are cross between a
travelling missionary and a salesman,
or rather they are both. They are
men and women convinced of the truth
of the tenets taught by their church,
men and women who are willing to
work and sacrifice to advance those
teachings, and we sell the literature OF
their church tn do it. They make their
own way. They are allowed a commission
on all sales they make and on this in
come, they support themselves.
The publishing department of the
Seventh-day Adventist church is only
one of several we'll organized divisions
of it's work, There are forty-one pub
fishing houses controlled by the church
in various parts of the world.
For its youth and it's size, the church
is unusually energetic and active. Its
communicates number between 100,
900 and 10000 in the entire
world, yet they maintain missionary
operations in 67 fields which is 56 fields
more than an other protestant church
church attempts to occupy. The Pres
byterian church occupies eleven recog-
nized fields, and this is the largest
number of any but the Adventists. 1t
breaches in SO languages, and has
literature in IA.
The members practice tithing, and
this source of revenue alone yielded
over two million dollars last year, in
addition to which their volunteer offer
ings amounted to another million dol
lars.
AS result of of this practice, the
finances of the church always are In
healthy condition. The preachers pay
checks are as regular as the interest
on a government bond. Because OF
the practice and their belief, this church
never has recourse to suppers, fairs,
entertainments or other devices to
raise the funds of the church.
Another distinctive departure OF the
church is that devoted TO health. The
church teaches and the followers prac-
tice, total abstinence. They teach the
curative value of sunlight. air and
water. In furtherance OF these doc
trines, they have 100 Sanitariums scat
tered over the world all under the con-
troll and direction Of the church.
Along with its other departments,
the church has an educational system.
This is exemplified in its 80 colleges,
academies and hundreds Of graded
schools.
The program at the tent meeting is
as follows:
Friday, Aug. 13, The Seven Last
PIE agues,'' forth coming famine fore
told in the Bible prophecy.
Saturday, 80 p. M, Sabbath school
preaching to follow.
Sunday, $3.50 p. M, 'The Parable o1
