BIG CHURCH ASSEMBLAGE.

German Baptist Brethren at the Dee Moines Fair Grounds. Des Moines, la.-, June s.—With the coming of a thousand more German Baptist Brethren and the advent of just a little sunshine the fair grounds have taken on something of a gala appearance. Over 4,000 churchmen are now dwellers In the little city of tents and more are constantly arriving from every point of the compass. While the conference proper does not convene for several days, services in celebration of the founding of the church 200 years ago are held daily.
