REV. PAUL J. GILBERT ROYALTY
RECEIVED

The following item taken from one
of the Bowling Green, o., paper tells of
the reception accorded Rev. and Mrs.
Paul ]. Gilbert, when he began his
work in this new field of labor.
Although the evening was most
too cool for the use of the beautiful
ly lighted lawn of Judge and Mrs.
e. M. Fries Tuesday night, the hand
some home was thronged with mem
bers of the congregation of the Pres
byterian church on the occasion of a
reception to the new pastor, Rev.
Paul ]. Gilbert and his family.
In the receiving lines were Judge
and Mrs. E. M. Fries, Mr.. and Mrs.
John HI. Lincoln, Rev and Mrs. P.
j. Gilbert and the latter's mother,
Mrs. Jacobs, the Misses Gilbert and
Master Paul Gilbert, Jr.
"The affair was in charge of the
ladies of the Social Circle. They
carried out a color scheme of pink
and white in which the lovely flowers
and the appetizing ice cream and
cake participated. In the dining
room where the refreshments were
served Mrs. Carl Finch and Mrs. G. w.
Farnside presided at the table; and
the Misses Gertrude Fries, Gladys
Pease, Esther Murlin, Doris Powell,
and Eleanor Shatzel assisted the So
cial Cirsle ladies'.
Social intercourse and a beauti-
full vocal solo by Mrs. j. W. Rue, ac-
companied by Mr.. S. A. Canary, made
the evening very pleasant one."

following the close of the first game,
All ball fans know what they may ex.
pect in this line. Only last Thursday
Dyersville trimmed up Earlville in the

HARyEY KEYES

+ Word was received this morning
from Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Keyes, who
were called to Minneapolis Monday,
stating that their son, Harvey Keyes,
passed away at his home Monday
night, his death being caused from an
attack of diabetes. Mr.. Keyes had been
in discouraging state for some time,
and was in sanitarium where he re-
ceived treatment. and was believed
to have been cured of the trouble. Mr.
Keyes was born and grew to young
manhood in this city, but has been
living in Minneapolis for some time.
A little more than year ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Keyes suffered the loss of their
little daughter, bright child, she be-
ing run over by careless automobile
driver
The sorrowing family has the pro-
found sympathy of their Manchester
friends in this time of affliction.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The City Council met in adjourned
session on Monday evening with all
members and the Mayor present. The
regular meeting of the Council was
held a week ago Monday night, but
on account of the large amount OF
business a good deal of the important
business was carried over to the ad-
journed meeting Monday night. One
of the matters up for consideration
was who will sell cigaretts in Man
chester after July 4th. A. G. Phillip
was the only one of the retail mer-
chants of Manchester who applied for
permit ON Monday night. Philips
application for a permit was accom-
panied by the necessary fee of $500
and the council voted unanimously to
grant his permit. Dealers who sell
cigarettes after the Fourth of July
have to put up bond of $1,000, as a
guarante that they will sell only to
pesrsons over 21 years Of age, and also
to comply with other requirements of
the law.
The matter of installing suitable
fire alarm was urged upon the City
Council by Fire Chief Philip, with
the result that the matter was left
with Councilman Farwell and CHIEF
Philip. 1t is the intention OF install
ing an electrically operated fire alarm
and is to be placed on the City Hall
Building and will be operated from
the Central office of the Delaware
County Telephone company. The
alarm will be sounded as soon as word
of a fire is sent to the Central office.
Since the Iowa Electric Company's
steam plant is being rebuilt and the
boilers are not in working condition,
Manchester has no way of operating
the sirene whistle on the steam plant
and since there is no night man at
the pumping station, it would be use
less to install a sirene whistle on the
pumping plant. The Council instruct
ed Councilman Farwell and Chief
Philip to take the necessary steps
to procure an alarm on the best terms
possible.
The City Council voted to extend
the City Water Main from Clara Ave
nue. north on New Street to Acers
street. This will enable the Fair So
ciety to connect onto the main line
of water and extend the water mains
to the fair grounds, thus giving the
society adequate protection in case OF
fire. and also supplying sufficient
water on the grounds for live stock
and concessions during fairs and Gel
ebrations.
Other minor matters came up for

--Nels Larson, well-to-do farmer

RATH.pARRoTT 4sHOWER.

The relatives and friends or MT. and
Mrs. Elmer Parrott are going to give
this worthy young couple shower"
at the Parrott home in Coffins Grove
township this evening. Through an
oversight last week we failed to men-
tion the marriage of this couple. which
took place in Dubuque on the 18th
inst The bride, whose maiden name
was Dora Rath, a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. L. Rath, has taught school for
several years and is an intelligent and
comely young woman. The groom is
an industrious and progressive farmer,
the son of Mr. and Mrs. j. G. Parrot.
We wish this deserving young couple a
long life of marital happiness and
prosperity.

| him in the other three innings.
In the seventh inning Earlville be-
gan to lose all hopes of winning, and
Dyersyiile became all the more en-
thused. The Earlville band which had
responded with selections after every
round in which Earlville scored, thrned
into ragged discord and the slip horn
only responded, as the rooters grad
ually slipped away. 1t was hard jolt
for an enthusiastic loyal bunch of
fans-but such is the route of base
ball.
All the while the Tigers palm was
itching and a wireless was sent to
Bill Beels to throw out the bated hook
in the Maquoketa. When Sawyer last
man hit to Vonah and Lefty" "soused"
it into the mitt of Pettinger at first,
thud re-echoed to the ears of the re-
naming Earlville fans, for with it went
their hopes, aank roll, purse, strings
and all. There was big whoop in the
Dyersville trenches, a roar of exhaust
ing autos and the game was off, the
Tigers ready for greener pasture in
the jungles.
Flick Hittemiller, Dyersville boy
who is playing with Earlville put up
a hard fight for his team back of the
bat and also in stick work. It was q
hard proposition for Teddy, but he
was good sport and gave Earlville
the best he had, which is to his credit,
Laxson for Earlville put up hard
fight and he has long been regarded as
a fine pitcher by the Dyersville fans.
Carly got the long hit for Earlville a
three-bagger in the second
Fritz Mcfarland of Cedar Rapids
the game and gave general
satisfaction.
Credit is due Secretary Williams of
the Manchester Commercial Club and
Manchester people for the fine treat
ment accorded the visitors.
OF course Dyersyille is proud of the
the game has passed into
history and it is all over.

Funeral services for the late Gus
Barnd, mention of whose unexpected
death was made in these columns
last week, were held at st. Mary's
Catholic church Friday morning, at
1000. The services were conducted
by Rev. 7. Rooney, pastor of the

Catholic cemetery.
The PENNSYLVANIA Medical Jour
nal quotes Dr. Spencer NJ Fee of thar
state, as saying: There is no man on
earth who stands so close to Almighty
God as the honest DOCTOR" Most peo-
pie will agree with that statement and
they would also agree if the Doctor
had gone further and said: There is
no man who stands closer to Belize
bub than the dishonest doctor, who
would jeopardize the life of his patient
for personal consideration.

Drummy Bros. south of Ryan. These
men have some very good Duroc hogs
and it was the one disappointment Of
the day that this had to be left out,
but after considering time and loca-
tion, 1t was decided that the last two
which were close together could be
made in about the same time as the
one hog stop. Therefore the stops at
Robinson's and Carrothers were short.
The neighbors had brought in several
head of good Shorthorn and Angus cat
tie which made fine showing for the
beef cattle, and at Carrothers Bros
there was a splendid showing of horses
including six stations and twelve or
fifteen purebred mares. Mr.. Beres-
ford gave an interesting short talk on
how the draft horse had held his own
and how the good ones will continue
to do so.
Throughout the day good fellowship,
pep and courtesy ran high, and al
though it was q long dusty ride, one
feels like after going to a circus
ready to go when the next one comes
along Xxx

INTERESTING SUIT
HAS been STARTED
SUPERVISOR MEAD BRINGS AC-
TION AGAINST EDITORS OF
EARLVILLE NEWSPAPER
PREFERS CHARGES OF LIBEL
Starts Suit to Recover Damages in the
Sum of 5000 for Statements
Made In Paper

Supervisor F. A. Mead was fined the
sum of $3.50 by the authorities OF the
town of Earlvile some time ago for
alleged violation of the town ordinance
regarding the driving Of motor vehicles
ON the streets, and after paying the
fine and costs certain article ap-
peared in the Earlville Camera which
highly incensed Mr.. Mead, with the re-
suit that he has started action for
libel and suit to recover damages
in the sum OF $1,000. The editors of
the Earlville Camera-Mesrs. Howard
and w. c.. Snyder-appeared before
Justice John j. Pentony Tuesday
morning to answer to the charges pre-
ferred by Mr.. Mead. The defendants,
through their attorney, w. |. Millen,
waived all preliminary hearings and
: were bound over to the October grand
Jury in the sum of $500 bonds, which
was furnished Immediately.
Soon after Mr.. Mead was fined for
alleged violation of the ordinances
of Earlyile there appeared in the state
papers an article accusing the town
officials Of showing favoritism to their
home people and ''nabbing" outsiders
as they pass through the town, and
Z
should be changed so that tourists
would not have to be subjected to the
treatment OF the Earlyille officials To
.thi article the Earlville editors took
serious objections and in their answer
to the article they say by inference that
Mr.. Mead is the author of the same,
and then proceed to go after the county
official.
Mr.. Mead claims that he paid his
fine like man and bitterly resents the
attack upon him by the Earlvlile paper.
He also feels that he is entitled to
damages caused by the statements
printed in the Camera last week.
The town officials Of Earlyille are
supporting the Snyder Brothers in
their stand on the matter, and an in
teresting bit of litigation will likely
be the outcome of the affair.
