extended, to which Rev. Perkins re-
sponded. He extended an invitation
to all who were present with their
friends and neighbors to attend ev-
cry service during the special revival
campaign which is to begin Tues
day evening, Nov. End.
Refreshments were served after
the program, to about two hundred
people. Everyone seemed to enter
into the spirit of the evening and we
are sure that it. was the desire of
each that they might have more So
cial functions for the church in
which spiritual things are reverence
ed and promoted.

paper published in connection with
this institution for nineteen years.
She then became superintendent of

the Hanneman hospital where she re-
NAMED a patient for nearly'a year.

greatest delights to attend the meet

and Charities at Asbury Park, N. j.,
and other cities and frequently was
called upon to read papers describing
the methods by which she had so sue

more reforms in all charitable insti-

Leon 29-Lamoni 6.

The Leon school seconds surprised
and satisfied their most sanguine
supporters last Saturday afternoon
by overtaking and defeating the La
moni seconds in very interesting
battle.
The triumph was a result of fine
offensive punch by the locals back
field. This punch the players dis
played throughout the contest and
which failed to weaken when defeat
stared them in the face. The most
remarkable feature of the game was
the IS yard run for touch down by
Robert Beardsley, on kick off. In
the second quarter Fred Rush scor-
ed three points by beautiful drop
kick from the 80 yard line. Harry
Woodard's line plunging was we'll
worthy of mention, as several good
gains were made by this method.
The Lamont team made one success
full pass for 20 yards. The play was
started as long end run which later
developed into pass. Both teams
used straight foot ball all the way
through. The following was Leon

their friends in Creston by quietly
entering matrimonial alliance We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock at
Omaha. The surprise was not quite
complete, however, as number OF
their friends suspected the event
when Mr.. Coen took short vacation
from his duties as head salesman at
the McGregor furniture store, but
these suspicious were not verified
till the arrival of the bride and groom
this morning on No. 6 from brief
honeymoon in Omaha.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. E. Myers, of Los Angeles,
California. She formerly lived in
Leon with her parents, but for the

cert stage with the Redpath bureau

prano voice and was prima donna Of
her own company, the Gretchen
Myers Company, one of the best or
chestras on the concert stage. She
also played the trap drums. She is
not very well acquainted in Creston,
but possesses few friends in the
city, whose number will soon be
largely augmented by her charming
disposition.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ D. Coen of Alton. He came
to Creston from Leon several months
ago, and has made large number of
friends in the city during his connec-
ton with the McGregor Furniture Co.

housekeeping at once in the Patt
