The Rev. Alfred Brown, who served
as chaplain of Bethany college and
who was a man who left behind him
an excellent reputation for piety, en-
ergy, tact, ability and musical skill,
started the movement for an Episcopal
church in North Topeka. A Woman's
Guild was organized in 1880 at the
home of Mrs. Stevens.
Those present at the first meeting
aside from the Rev. and Mrs. Brown
were: Mrs. Stafford, wife of the Rev.
Henry Stafford, (whO was elected pres
ident and fulfilled the duties most
efficiently until her death some two
years later Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Du-
Frame, Mrs. Beardsworth, Mrs. Edwin
BraZier all now deceased. The men
especially interested in the beginning
were Messrs- Edwin Brazier (who was
senior warden and treasurer from the
organization of the parish until his
removal from the state in 1899 Dud-

Chase) Messrs. Stevens, Beardsworth,
Stanley and John b. Marshall, founder
of the famous MarshalIs Band.

OUTLINE FUTURE POLICY
INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION

aHalrs OF the association. This mat
Ter was pretty thoroughly discussed,
ana 1t was felt that 1t would be best
Tor the association and the town. If
this Is done. The unanimous senti-
ment Of the directors, practically
was for this matter of publicity.
In this connection it was reported
that there were several prospects
which would be reported on in a short
tlme' and which it was believed might
be reported favorably.
An industrial proposition came up
yesterday. 1t was for the establish
ment of an anti-hog cholera serum
laboratory. The doctor at the head
of the company, together with man
seeking to find the location visited
Keokuk. Their demands We're for so
acres OF ground, and an Office build
Ing and laboratory down town. They
would employ twenty people. Consid-
,ering the nature of the work. and the
demands Of the company, together
with the fact that this would hardly
be desirable in any community, the
matter was not given any official &C
ton beyond a discussion.
Some Good Prospects.
There are, however, certain pros
poets which it is hoped may develop
fayorably within short time.
The association win be active in
the entertainment Of the visitors in
the city next week at the meeting of
the electric associations. The badges
which bear the legend, II live in Keo-
kuk, ask me-" will be furnished to the
employees of the electric light COM
pany, and power plant, and the asso-
citation rooms will be used as the off,
cial bureau Of information for the
visitors. Visitors are invited to come
to the association headquarters for in
formation.
Pay foe Own Luncheons.
One Of the directors brought up the
matter Of the luncheons which the
directors hold each month. He sug.
gested that inasmuch as the people
generally believe that the association
Is paying for these 1uncheons, why not
have the association pay for them in
the future instead Of each member
paying for his luncheon, as is the Gus
tom now. After some discussion 1t
was unanimously voted that the pres
ent policy OF each member paying for
his own luncheon would be followed
in the future as In the past, regard
less of outside impressions.
This matter has been one OF the un-
just criticisms Of the association.
Every dinner and luncheon which the
directors and executive board has had
has been paid for out OF the pockets
Of the board members. not out OF the
association funds. This policy Of
"Dutch treat" among the directors
will be continued. 100
