of Chicago, Participates in Program
—Hon. Samuel Mahon Delivers Ad
Vi dress of Welcome to Delegates^—
Sessions at First M. E. Church.
From Thursday's Dally.
A half hour concert by the Sunday
Schools of the city under the direction
of Prof. Edward Weeks and the in
spiring music of the chorus of 150
voices under the direction of Prof. D.
B, Towner of Chicago, were features
of the opening exercises of the first
session of the fortieth annual conven
tion of the Iowa State Sabbath School
association held at the First Methodist
Episcopal church last evening. The
hundreds of enthusiastic Sunday
school workers from all over Iowa and
many visitors from Ottumwa packed
the large auditorium of the church and
there were but few vacant seats in the
balcony.
President A. F. N. Hambleton of
Oskaloosa presided and Major Samuel
Mahon of Ottumwa delivered the ad
dress of welcome. The response was
made by Mr. Hambjeton and W. C.
Pearce of Chicago gave a splendid ad
dress. The Hon. William Gackaberry
of Sioux City conducted the scriputre
reading and the opening prayer was
by Rev. William Orr of Clarinda.
Inspiring Musio.
The music of the students of the
Sunday schools of the city under the
direction of Prof. Edward Weeks was
most enjoyable and met with hearty
appreciation. Prof. D. B. Towner had
charge of the large chorus and the
several selections were given in a
splendid manner that evoked the
heartiest applause from the large audi
ence. The effective rendition of a
solo by Prof. Towner was one of the
most enjoyable features of the ser
vice.
About 500 delegates are in the city
to attend the convention and from the
enthusiasm manifested and the hearty
manner in which all enter Into the
spirit of the meeting assures a most
successful and profitable convention.
Major Samuel Mahon delivered the
address of welcome and spoke In part
as follows:
"I wish first to congratulate Prof.
Towner for the inspiration of the glor
ious singing of this chorus. We are
glad to welcome this convention for Its
company, its instruction and associa
tions. It would have been a bold
prophet fifty yearB ago, who would
have prophesied such an assemblage
as this for Ottumwa. Then Iowa was
almost a wilderness. Tonight we have
delegates representing the two and a
quarter millions of people of the state
gathered here together in the cause of
Christ. All of the evangelical churches
of Iowa are represented. Although we
may belong to different divisions to
separate brigades, still we can frater
nise, we can help one another. I feel
like taking off my hat to the Sunday
school officers and teachers. It Is a
labor of duty and of love.
"We welcome you to our city in the
the name of our industries, our com
mercial Industries we welcome you on
behalf of our schools and they are our
pride we welcome you on behalf
of the Christian people who are
working hand in hand In this great
movement we welcome you on behalf
of the whole city. I was pleased to
see the two emblems side by side in
the great convention, the flag and the
cross. You are working along national
lines as well as religious lines. Right
eousness exalteth a nation. May these
two emblems ever go together in the
march of progress and civilization and
right."

W. C. Pearce Speaks.
W. C. Pearce of Chicago, formerly
a prominent attorney, now interna
tional teacher training secretary, gave
an address that was listened to with
the closest attention and met with
hearty appreciation. He said in part:
"I am glad to be with you this even
ing. I believe that next to Illinois,
Iowa is the best state in the union,
and I know that tonight I am speaking
to the best people in Iowa. A friend
of mine once told me that the best
people In the world belong to church.
And this is true. The best people in
the church are working in the Sunday
school, the best people in the Sunday
school attend the conventions, and the
best people that ettend the conven
tions ar* there at the first session and

so I know that tonight I am speaking
to the cream of the population of the
next best state In the union.
Winning Boys and Girls,
"I am going to speak tonight on the
subject of winning the boys and girls
for Christ. A marvelously deep and
important subject "this Is. It Is not a
question of getting the boys off the
streets or how to Increase the at
tendance to the Sunday schools that I
am to speak, but how to win the pu
pils we have for Christ.
"First I want you to remember two
things that all born of flesh Is flesh,
and all born of the spirit Is
spirit. The flesh Is at enmity with
God. Some may doubt this. If you
tried as hard to be bad as you do to be
good, how do you think you would
come out. If- you triel as hard to get
angry as you do to control your tem
per how much do you suppose you
would be in a good humor.
"A child may be born of the spirit
so early that, he has no recollection of
it. The best time for the choosing of
a new life is in the early life. Boys
and girls must be brought to a definite
decision. This applies tc the one who
has been brought up In the Christian
home as well as the one who never
knew Christian influences. The boy
who has been taught to reverence the
name of God, js familiar with the
family prayer and the leading of the
scriptures needs to be brought to a
point where he for himself will choose
the Christ, hfe father and mother have
taught him to love. This is a differ
ent choice than that of the boy who
has never been surrounded by a Chris
tian at/nosphere and different meth
ods must be used but both should be
brought to make a choice for them
selves. The child must have the pow
er of choice. Some people say there Is
nothing in the choice of a child. Dis
illusion yourself. I believe that if you
could gather all of the children of ten
years of age in this town and they
would make an intelligent promise,
there would be a larger per cent of
them keep that promise than of the
same number of men forty years of
age.
Confession,
"Confession is another, necessary
thing. It is a great thing although not
more Important, to make that decision
known.
"And then service for Christ is an
important thing. This does not mean
speaking pieces on Children's day, but
In doing something that means busi
ness."
Live for Others.
In his closing remarks Mr. Pearce
spoke of the danger oi the boys and
girls choosing the wrong life and urg
ed the parents and Sunday school
workers to use their utmost efforts to
save the boys and girls.
The evening service closed with a
solo by Prof. Towner and the benedic
tion by Dr. A. George of St. Louis.

RATES MAY
BE LOWERED
ILLINOIS RAILROADS FACE PROB
ABILITY OF NEW TARIFF
SCHEDULE.
HORIZONTAL REDUCTION
A General Cut Will Probably Be Made
by the State Commission and the
Question Now Being Asked Is, "How
Deep Will It Go?"
Springfield, 111., June 15.—That the
state board of railway and warehouse
commissioners will make a general
and probarly a horizontal reduction In
freight rates Is considerably better
than a good guess.
The main question now Is how deep
the cut will be. The railroads are
fighting to make It as light a. possi
ble. Chairman Neville of the state
board expressed himself plainly twice
yesterday. The first time was when
General Freight Agent Hanr.Min, of
the Burlington, was a witness, .and
Commissioner Neville asked:
"If you made --ie same rates to ev
ery one you make to manufacturers
along your lines you could not run?"
"It would use up all our profits,"
answered the freight manager.
"Then it is necessary for other peo
ple to pay profits to the road so that
manufacturers can run their facto
ries?" said the commissioner.
"That will apply to a certain extent,
but they 5 not have the competition
manufacturers have," said the gener
al freight agent.
Roads or State Fix Rates?
The debate between the commis
sioner and Mr. Hamblln opened up the
whole discussion as to whether the
railroads were to be allowed to fix
rates or whether the states must fix
them. Afterwards in reply to Mr.
Dawes, Chairman Neville said:
"I read the Nebraska decision dif
ferently from you. The Nebraska de
cision was by the United States su
preme court in a case where the leg
islature of that stale fixed, by statute,
arbitrary freight rates, and it was ar
gued they were right because the
Iowa rates were lower. The supreme
court held that 'fair and reasonable
rates' were a test and what might be
true In one it ate was not true in an
other. The percentage of population
to a mile of road was an Important
factor. Under this .ruling the evi
dence of Henry G. Barlow, an expert
of the Chicago Shippers' association,
purporting to shov the rate? from
Cleveland and Detroit to Illinois towns
within .sixty miles of Chicago are less
than they are from Chicago,' Is per
missible. It important evidence in
this case."
Shows a Commodity Rate.
In the examination of Samuel J.
Cook, general freight agent of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois, it was shown
his company has a commodity rate be
tween Chicago and Mt. Vernon on
almost everything that Is offered for
shipment. The figures submitted by
him showed that in every instance the
commodity rate was from 5 to 25 per
cent less than the maximum rates pre
scribed by the state commission.
He also submitted figures showing
the Joint rates In effect upon the Mich
igan Central and Chicago and Eastern
Illinois between Detroit and Mt. Ver
non, a longer haul by 200 miles than
from Chicago to Mt. Vernon. These
rates were much less In proportion to
the haul from Chicago, and the 50 per
cent which the Chicago and Eastern
gets out of the haul is less than the
straight rate from Chicago by some
thing like 40 per cent.
In the case of dry goods the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois gets 50 cents a
100 pounds from Chicago to Mt. Ver
non. From Detroit to the same point
the joint rate is 44 cents. Of this
amount the initial line gets one-half,
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois tak
ing the other half. In other words,
from Chicago to Mt. Vernon the road
in question gets 50 cents a 100 pounds,
while on a joint shipment from De
troit. which Is received by the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois at Chicago, it gets
but 22 cents a 100. Mr. Cook was of
the opinion that the maximum rates
of the commission are too high.
Rock Island Satisfied.
The substance of the testimony of
Assistant Freight Traffic Manager
Gower of the Rock Island was that the
joint rates from eastern point to Illi
nois towns were too low. He said the
Rock Island was a party to them, but
that his road had been forced into
agreeing to them or lose the business
altogether. He declared on his line
there is no fault finding with rates.
"Because the southern end of the
states is complaining, or rates from
Chicago to Bloomington may be too
high is no reason why rates throughout
the entire state should be reduced,"said
Mr. Gower. He testified that his road
granted commodity rates on a large
variety of merchandise that enters into
manufactured articles made on his
road. On the finished product his road
he said, charged about the Illinois tar
iff.

A SIGNAL TRIUMPH
TO
$
t!'
THE PUPILS OF THE SACRED
HEART 8CHOOL ENTERTAIN
MANY FRIENDS.
Large arid Appreciative Audience Wit
nessed the Pleasing Program Ren
dered Last Evening In the Market
Street Theatre.
The pupils of the Sacred Heart
Catholic school under the auspices of
the Sisters of the Humility of Mary,
scored a most signal triumph last
evening at the Market Street the
atre, where- one of the most de
lightful and successfully given enter
tainments was witnessed by an audi
ence that filled every seat of the large
auditorium and lined the aisles. The
entertainment scored both In point of
excellence and attendance. At no pre
vious time had there been a larger au
dience attend an entertainment given
by the pupils, and at no previous time
was the high degree of excellence at
tained last night equalled. The per
formances given by the young people
told of close application to their re.
spectlve parts and diligent preparation
and the success which marks their ef
forts was abundantly appreciated by
the large audience. The pupils who
participated In the closing exercises of
the Sacred Heart school last night are
to be congratulated upon the highly
entertaining evening furnished and
the Sisters of the Humility of Mary,
who have put forth their untiring ef
forts in carefully preparing the enter
tainers, deserve much credit for the
splendid manner In which the program
progressed. The Star Band kindly
furnished the excellent music.
The Decorations.
The stage was prettily decorated
for the occasion, yellow and white, the
colors of the 1905 graduating class, to
gether with cut flowers, being used. In
the center of the stage, hanging from
above were the words:"Sacred HeaH"
In large white letters. The large au
dience was excellently handled by
obliging ushers, who showed every
courtesy to the patrons.
Part 1,
The program was in two parts, Part
1 consisted for the most part of recita
tions, solos, exercises by the grade pu
pils, music by the orchestra and an op
eretta, all of which were highly en
joyable. Especial mention should be
made perhaps to the Brownies' School
given by the primary boys and John
Davis, flower girls, hoop drill and
march and the operetta, "Columbia's
Floral Emblem." The latter feature
was delightfully given and the cos
tumes worn by the little actors and
actresses uniquely bore out the char
acter represented. The program of
the first part is as follows:
Music Orchestra.
Chorus, "Welcome," Pupils.
Recitation, "Daisies," Ruth Silv
ers.
Piano solo, "Tranquil Night," Ger
trude Potter.

The Concluding Part.
Preliminary to the concluding feat
ure of the program, the grammer and
intermediate department pupils ren
dered "Ding Dong." Following was an
excellently given recitation, "Song of
the Market Place," by Miss Alice
Cone. Miss Cone showed remarkable
ability as an elocutionist, reciting the
difficult number with ease and grace.
A sword drill and march was the next
delightful part of the program. This
exercise was participated In by the
boys of the fifth and sixth grades, un
der the leadership of Maurice Burns.
Much applause was elicited by the
youthful soldiers for their pleasing ex
hibition.
The four act drama, "Two Moth
ers," by Dorotha Reynartz, given by
the seventh grade girls, which con
cluded the program, was marked by a
degree of success that is very selddm
attained by youthful performers.
While the entire cast was evenly bal
anced and showed perfect training, es
pecial credit belongs to the principals.
Miss Alice Cone, In her portrayal of
the leading role, could hardly have
been Improved upon, while Miss
Blanche Cookston, as "Queen of Tun
is" was equally as good. Miss Cecil
Kelleher as the "Blessed Virgin," dis
played marked ability, her part call
ing for some difficult work, which she
performed handsomely. Miss Kelleher
was the object of many flattering com
ments. Nellie Ostdlek, as "Adelaide"
scored a delightful hit, her part being
a difficult one, which she handled with
much credit. Between the acts a
pleasing piano duet was rendered by
Marie and Helen Silvers, 'and "The
Holy City" was delightfully rendered
by Miss Blanche Cookston.
