The wedding of Lawyer T. II. McEnroe, of Whittemore, to Miss Bessie, daughter of Capt. D. D.

Notice the changed date. There has been no move for a celebration of the Fourth so far, and the impression seems to be that no move will be made. The reasons given are various. It is possible, of course, that Algona will get a move on'er. The regular meeting of the W.

The story of "Capture and Escape," which has been running for several months in the columns of the Courier, was concluded last week.

Kellogg, will be glad to know that the story will be given to the public in book form now. The REPUBLICAN understands that the widow of Gen. Kellogg, who is in poverty, will be the recipient of any profit that may be derived from the sale of this interesting story.

The Des Moines Register has this cheering paragraph: The Iowa spring of 1896 is very much like that of Iboo, which followed a mild winter like that of 1S95-'G and was a year of prodigious crops. Father Clarkson grew sod corn in 1855 that was more than equal to the average corn crops on cultivated ground of later years.

MEETINCST1LL1NP80C8ESS Evangelist Cordner Closes His Work Sunday Night, But the Meetings Go On. The School Board Cannot Agree on Plans. There was a meeting of the school board last evening, holding till a late hour, to decide ona plan for the new school building, but it ended as it began in a disagreement. There were two plans and the board divided evenly. The only question is as to the exterior design, the interior plans and the cost being substantially the same.

It was agreed last night to submit the question to a board of seven outsiders and a decision was expected to be reached to-day. This morning a new complication has arisen and the result cannot be foretold. The site is not settled, though it has been decided to put the building westof the track and north of the diagonal road, and not far from the junction. The question is mainly one of negotiation with the parties owning lots in the locality. The grounds will take probably six to eight lots.

The contention over school house designs seems to be narrowed to two competing architects, Gutterson, of Mason City, and Parsons of Des Moines.

will be absent most of the week. A road wagon and an extension top surrey shown in Wilfrid Jones' advert- isment in this week's REPUBLICAN are to be admired for their beauty and stylish patterns, as pictured, and an inspection of the vehicles at the Wigwam will be a pleasure to intending buyers or anyone else. A visit to the Wigwam is a liberal education in machinery and vehicles to anyone, And now we have a new thing in business enterprise, an oil delivery wagon, run by Stephenson Stacy, which began its rounds yesterday. The wagon is equipped with a bell to announce its coming, and householders will only have to put out a signal to get their cans filled. The firra will handle Standard oil, as theretofore, and the new service means better accommodation rather than cheajej? fates.

£eo, Platt, who attnded, the' lodge Of at Cedar Rapids last week as the' delegate of the Algona lodge, says it was a great meeting. Pr. Studley was the other delegate but in view of his long illness could not think of attending- Mr. Byson, who is one of the most zealous members of the order in this county fraud lodge enroute old country. for attended the New York ani The best equipped repair shop in this region is that of 0- H- Goodrich, opposite the REPUBLICAN office.

Mr. Goodrich recently installed a Shepard iron and wood working lathe which does almost every description of work that anybody ever needs to have done, and otherwise tbe shop is splendidly equipped. Mr. Gopdjrieh is an expert workman, and every kind of repairing is in bis line. Bicycles, guns, umbrel- laju $nd pther, articles are quickly put in order.

Mr, ft. has, a fine trade. The meetings under Evangelist Cordner, contrary to the understanding when the REPUBLICAN went to press last week, were'continued through the entire week, and Mr. Cordner preached his closing sermon Sunday night to a packed audience. The meetings during the latter part of the week were interfered with to a considerable extent by heavy rains.

The week's rains were the heaviest the county has ever seen, but the audiences were invariably large. Prof. Burnett, who had been having a rest for a few weeks, came on the last of the week and relieved Mr. Jones, who had led the singing as a supply, and during the closing days contributed much to the success ot the meetings. A feature of the Sunday morning meeting was the taking up of a thank offering" for the benefit of the evangelist, Mr.

Cordner never makes any bargain in advance, except that his car fare and board shall be paid, but leaves everything further to the people where he works. The business of raising the money was attended to in a very short time Sunday morning, in the absence of Mr. Cordner from the platform, and no begging was done, nor was anyone urged to give more than he was disposed to. Including the evening collection, the sum contributed for the purpose was $328. The meetings are being continued through the present week, and Rev.

D. Landis of the Baptist church is in charge and preaches every night. It was the unanimous desire of the other pastors that this arrangement be made.

The Cedar Rapids Republican says of their performance in that city a few nights ago: The Columbia Opera company opened a two nights' engagement at Greene's last evening, appearing in Richard Stahl's tuneful two-act comic opera "Said Pasha." The audience was a large one, as well as a thoroughly appreciative one. The singing was excellent and the music catchy and both deserved the hearty reception received. The company in ability is far above the average. In fact nearly all members of the cast are artists, and those lovers of comic opera who remained away from the opera house last night missed a rare musical treat. It is safe to predict that the audience tonight at the performance of the "Black Hussar" will be far larger than it was last evening.

The company deserves a thronged house. It carries its own scenery and orchestra. The cast of the Black Hussar is a large one and the costuming is said to be well worth seeing. The opera will be presented by a most capable company.
