ncr as to elicit much applame. ;
This address w : s responded to by
l'tln Elmer ward Cole. lrs.
Cole , has a reputation as a public -
lic speaker which is not confined
to Falls City and her remarks on
this occasion were in her best
vein. The speaker was frequently -
ly interrupted by laughter and
applause. Prof. \Vm. IIarnack
played a fine flute solo , the appreciation -
preciation of which was well expressed -
pressed in the applause that fol-
lowed the closing notes.
Hev. W. 13. Alexander spoke on
behalf of the ministers of Falls
City , He referred to the cordial
relations that had existed between -
tween Hev. Cole and his co-labor-

the broad mindedness that had
characterized the work of Hev.

the great regret occasioned by
his removal to other fields.
He\ Cole himself responded to
this address Ve have all heard
Rev. Cole and been 11lo\'ed by his
eloquence ; we can in a measure
appreciate the subtle power of
his humor and can to some extent
feel the depth of his ! pathos.
On , this occasion both these funds
of eloquence were drawn upon.
lIe referred in humorous , man-
ner to his personal relation with
various itulivicltutls He stated
clearly and logically the under-
lying principles of his theology ,
and showed how he had endeav-
ored to apply them to his daily
work in this city. He thanked
his friends for this expression of
regard.
Dr. Rush rendered another beau-
tiful solo and . after . selections by
the band , the meeting resolved
into a social gathering' Coffee

People felt very grateful when . . i i
they awoke on Tuesday morning
and discovered that the wind was > . . J
blowing from the south and that f
at least some relief from the long ,
cold spell was at hand. Although ;
the smoke from the chimneys . ,
plainly indicated a southern wind , "
the big weather vane on the court
house refused to beconnced and
continued to point due northcas
It had been frozen in that position - . 1 '
tion and it took . . '
some time for the ' , , -
bearings to thaw out and allow it
to properly indicate . the direction
of the wind.
