Johnsonville, April 19:-The three
day Chautauqua held here last week,
Thursday. Friday and Saturday. was
q distinct success in every particular,
large and appreciative audiences be-
ing present daily. The promotion
of such an enterprise for Johnson
vile, a town only three years old,
was somewhat formidable under
taking, but such success was made
of it as to exceed our most sanguine
expectations, and at the close of the
engagement an agreement was sign
ed up for a return engagement in
the fall of this year.
Congressman Lever made an ex-
cellent address to the farmers, on
the subject of General Rural I'm
provement," which was heartily en-
joyed and appreciated by all who
heard him.
Saturday addresses of interest
were made by Misses Mary Frayser,
of Winthrop College. and Eva Hite,
State Demonstration agent.
The Chautauqua was the same
company that filled an engagement at
Kingstree the same week and every
one here who attended the lectures
and exhibitions is delighted with the
entertainment furnished. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday were red letter
days in old Johnsonville's calendar.

Deputation Of Salem Citizens Appear
Before State Railroad Commits
y sion to Urge Change In
Schedules.
PEOPLE LIKE PRESENT
Morning Train to keokuk Instead of
Mt. Pleasant Seems Logical
One for This I'D
Road.

A deputation Of Salem citizens are
agitating new train on the North
road, or difference in train schedule.
committee has just returned from
Des Moines where they laid their case
before the state railroad commission
according to advices from there. The
com ittees stand is that train north
to Mount Pleasant in the morning is
desired.
When the change was made which
evolved the present schedule, the
Salemites were in favor of it. The
large majority of the people OF the
neighborhood favor the present morn
ing train to Keokuk rather than any
change, and 1t is hardly possible that
the commission will make a change
over the wishes of the majority.
The Donnellson Review says of this
conference:
A deputation OF Salem citizens, con-
sisting OF Postmaster Owen Hourihan,
j.. M. Hartley and Cliff Clark has re-
turned from Des Moines where they
appeared before the state railway con-
mission and asked that another train
be placed on the North road between
Keokuk and Mount Pleasant and in
lieu of that to direct change in the
schedule Of the present passenger
train. This committee represented
that train north to Mount Pleasant
in the morning was desired rather
than one south to Keokuk, although
Salem strongly favored this latter
change when made few years ago.
1t is believed that a large majority of
the people Of Salem and vicinity are
still favorable to the existing sched-
ule- and want morning train to Keo-
kuk if there is to be only one passen-
ger train daily. This present sched-
ule is naturally favored by the railway
company for the reason that it yields
a larger revenue than any other that
has been devised and seems to give
the greatest satisfaction to the great
es- number

country is given great opening. IL
American civilization means anything,
to leave its impress upon the peoples
Of other lands and make its contribu.

his Fart in the development Of the
coming civilization. The soul of the
individual has something more beauti-
full, more awe inspiring about it than
tHS wonders Or nature, and lIS SlnS-r
influence seems almost unlimited'' Mr.
Towne cited several examples and told
several stories Of the wonderful i'm
press Of good soul upon the lives Of
others of the race.
Mr. Towne declared that at the re-
cent Foreign Trade Congress held ut
St. Louis. where twenty billions Of in
vested capital was represented, the
head Of one of the greatest corpora
tons advanced the suggestion that
this country must send missionaries
to South America before really i'm

Jurisdiction Of Court 10 Attacked by
Attorneys for Former County
Clerk Whose Wife Seeks
Separation.
NO NOTICE IS SERVED
Date is February I, 1914, Appear
ance States While Court Be-
gins on February
1, 1915.

Attorneys for G. Bruce Lake have
attacked tho jurisdiction of the court
In the divorce action brought against
the former clerk by his wife Louise
K Lake. The grounds for attacking
jurisdiction are that no notice has
been served for this term OF the dis
trict court, the notice reading Febru-
AIRY 1, 1914, and It is also claimed that
no copy OF the petition was furnished
defendant as required by law.
The attorneys for Lake ask that
the case be dismissed and the costs
be charged to the plaintiff.
Comes now the defendant herein
by his attorneys and appears espec-
tally for the sole purpose Of attacking
the jurisdiction Of this court" the
motion reads. Defendant states that
no notice for this term OF court has
been served as shown by the original
notice filed In the case, the same fail
ing to state the proper day that this
term of court opened. This February,
1915, term opened February 1, 1915,
and said notice states that same
opens February 1. 1914:
The motion asks that the court rule
that it has absolutely no jurisdiction
to try the case at this term of court.
Jurisdiction is further attacked on
the ground that the law provides that
a copy Of the petition be furnished
the defendant when he Is a convict
In the state penitentiary and this was
not done. For these reasons dismiss
sal Is asked at the plaintiffs costs.
