Have Agreed to Close.

Practically all the stores and
banks have agreed to close during
the Minneapolis orchestra concert
Friday afternoon from 1870 to $3.50.
This exhibits a commendable spirit
of cooperation in connection with
events important in the city's his
tory, and will afford the industrial
and commercial forces the rare OPP
portunity of going to the concert.
While the school board have decid-
ed that it is impracticable to close
the schools, yet all pupils who wish
to attend the Minneapolis orchestra
concert Friday afternoon will be ex-
cused: also teachers whose places
can be filled during the afternoon
session, may attend the concert.
Those whose judgment prompted
them to arrange as above have done
so after not little cogitation on the
subject and with the resulting de-
cision that hearing the music on this
particular occasion is something
worth while.

MANY Iowans to Coast.

There is unusual interest through
out Iowa in the Twenty-second In
ternational Convention of the Bap-
fist Young People which meets this
year in Oakland, California, July 9TH
to 18th.
The added attraction of the great
expositions, the low railroad rates
with numerous stopover privileges,
together with the attraction of
long list of brilliant speakers and
the fact that Iowans have many
friends on the Pacific Coast, make
the trip and convention very at
tractive to Iowa people.
Wilbur L. Clapp of Waterloo,
transportation man for Iowa Bap-
lists, will personally conduct par
ty to the convention and the exposi-
tions from Iowa. The party will as
semble in st. Paul and leave there
June cath, at 1890 p. m. The trip
will include six days in the Yellow
stone Park, and the party will be
entertained at st. Paul, Spokane,
North Yakima, Tacoma and Portland
on the going trip, as we'll as at sew
eral points on the way back. Any
self respecting person can join the
party and Mr. Clapp will be glad to
furnish, without expense, full infor-
nation about the trip and conven-
ton. Persons can go with the party
and come back as they please up to
as late as September Goth.
There is absolutely no charge for
any service that Mr.. Clapp renders
in connection with the trip, and no
profits to any individual or organi-
cation.

TWO AUTOMOBILES
COLLIDE IN SNASHUP
Mrs. Chas. B. Miller Thrown From
Car and Both Machines
Badly Damaged.

Two automobiles came together in
a severe smashup last night about
$50 o'clock on west Second street,
the force of the collision throwing
Mrs. Chas. B. Miller and baby from
one of the cars and bruising the
former so badly that she is unable
to turn herself IN bed today. It is
hoped there are no internal injur-
les, however. The baby was unhurt.
R. D. Hughes was driving his car
west on Second street, the machine
containing his wife and little son
and Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. B. Miller
and baby. They were driving very
slowly, Mr.. Hughes attempting to
demonstrate to the occupants of the
car that the engine was of make
that could on occasion be driven as
slow as five miles per hour.
Geo. Twogood was driving east on
Second street with his car which
contained also Geo. F. Yungclas, and
Mr.. Twogood attempted to pass two
cars on the street ahead of him. He
did so, but drove into the road too
far to his left, crashing right into
the Hughes car at the north side of
the road. Neither of the occupants
of the Twogood car were injured
but both cars were badly wrecked.
The Hughes car has one wheel
broken, fender and running board
broken and the tool box badly dam
aged. The Twogood car has two
broken wheels, the frame and axle
bent, and minor damages.
It is indeed fortunate that no one
was killed in the collision which was
a crash loud enough to be heard for
some distance and to collect large
crowd in almost no time.

ODD FELLOWS ARE
OPPOSED TO WAR
Lodges in Various Parts of the State
Take Action and Pass
Resolutions.

The Odd Fellows of Iowa, includ-
ing those of Webster City and HAM
ilton county, are quite generally OPP
posed to the United States getting
mixed up in the European massacre
called war through respect for
civilization-and many of the lodges
have passed resolutions stating the
position of members. Here are the
resolutions adopted by the Sioux
City Odd Fellows a few evenings
Iago:
Whereas, A great war now in
progress in Europe is causing an
unparalleled sacrifice of life and
property in direct violation of the
teaching of the Master, and
eve, as Odd Fellows, a fraternal
society whose principles are express
ed in our motto, Friendship, Love
and Truth believe that all men are
brothers, and who teach obedience
to law, allegiance to the flag, loyal
ty to government, even to the lay
ing down of our lives in it's behalf,
are convinced that it is now time
for all civilized nations to protest
against war and to give considera-
tion to some international agree
ment that will, if possible, prevent
the destruction of life, homes and
property and the barbarism of mod
ern war.
"Therefore, Be it resolved, That
we request the president, the con-
gress of the United States and the
governors and the legislatures of the
several states to take such action as
may seem best to curb and control
the spirit of militarism now so wide
spread in every civilized country,
and to use their best efforts to Sc
cure the adoption Of some world
wide agreement tending toward uni
versal peace.
"And be it resolved, That we, as
an order, disappearing the further
increase in the construction of ma
vies and the creation of armies ex-
cept as may be necessary for the por-
lection of our national honor and
life, favor the building up and the
cultivation of a healthy sentiment
of honor to peaceful occupations.
We further urge that some plan be
devised whereby the disputes of ma
lions, likely to lead to war, may be
settled by arbitration without the
appeal to arms.
'And be it resolved, That as an
order, we request all churches and
fraternal organizations to take some
steps as they may deem best to Gre
ate a sentiment throughout the civ
ilized world in favor of peace, that
all nations shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears in
to pruning hooks"

AFTERNOON LETTER.

Chicago, May 25.-Some of the
crop remarks suggest the June win
ter wheat condition may be around
so, loss of 1873 points for the
month. Rains during holding time
prevent filling and cause blight. Elk
cessive rains develop the straw at
the expense of the grain. If the
markets cross over into Wednesday
with a higher trend, they should be
in line for a reaction. The question
of rains, however, has come to the
surface. If they persist, more dam
age is likely.
