THE rededication of old San Luis Key Mission church, which took place 8 few days ago, is . noteworthy event. The mission was originally one of the lagest and finest on the Pacific coast
 It lacks only five years o< . pounded century of existence, but during the greater part Of this time it has been suffered to decay in neglect and lone Illness, Over fifty years ago it's herds were scattered and it's band of native converts driven out Now the old church has been partially restored and pious Franciscan monks from Mexico will establish here a college for the training of priests. The site is an ideal one for such an institution, and the quiet place among the hills ought to be conducive to meditation and study.

'"YoUAvE no idea how many cowboys there are in New York driving trucks and doing odd jobs like that" said an ex-ranchman, who is now in business here. "They are restless lot, and thousands of them get east by design or accident-mostly by accident, l think They fetch up in the towns and work into something or anything that has to do with horses. In town they are apt to be steady, and, for that matter. they are on the plains There isn't any wild west any mora. Those people who saw 1t ten or a dozen years ago saw a little of the wildness, and they saw the last. No cowboy thinks of shooting his way through the streets of a western town for fun in these days. He'd be arrested mighty quick if he tried it. If you want to see a cowboy go around to --'s livery sta ble. There are two of them there. Both of the m wear boiled shirts"

IT is not pleasant news that comes to us from Asiatic Turkey, where people are said to be dying by thousands from cholera. There can hardly be a doubt as to the authenticity of this intelli- Rence, and that fact should stimulate not only the health authorities, but everybody, to leave no sanitary measures untried that will serve to prove a preventative of the plague. As usual the scourge is getting in it's most effective, deadly work among the poor and those whose habits are known to be uncleanly. There is a moral in this that should never be lost sight of, which is that cleanliness and temper ance should be the motto with all.

An Impressive spectacle.

Tn referring to the recent Columbian celebration in New York Harper's Weekly says:
 "As the first great worlds fair held in London in 1851 was shortly after wards followed by the Crimean war, SO some of its successors have had more or less great wars closely on their heels. If the worlds fairs did not bring on those wars they certainly did not pre- vent them. But our Columbian cele- bration presented one spectacle which is probably without precedent, and should be of good augury. Many of those who witnessed the great parade of sailors and marines on the streets of New York on April 27 may not have been mindful of the fact that they saw something that perhaps had never hap pened within the memory of the pres ent generation, and would not be pos sible anywhere else In the world; sail ors and soldiers of ten different na- tions, with arms in their hands united in one festive array-Englishmen Russians, Germans and Frenchmen be- longing to the armed forces of rival powers that may, as it Is thought, at any moment come to blows among themselves-peaceably marching with muskets on their shoulders and swords at their sides behind one an other in one column It was spec tacle emblematic of the position o1 this great American republic among the nations of the earth-the great peace power of the world embracing in its hospitality the great war powers of the world for a celebration of human progress and mutual goodwill"

PIxLEY WAS ENTERED.
Secretary Allen and Dobie Testify
About Columbian Race.


CmcAGo, Dec. 6.-The board of ap.
peals OF the American Trotting assocla-
ton today took up one phase OF the
charges made in reference 20 the Colum.
bian free.for- all $4,000 race. Evidently
Secretary Allen Of the Northwestern
Breeders association and Budd Noble
did not desire 20 have the matter Of
Pixley's entry remain in doubt until the
rext year's- meeting Ar. Allen was
present. armed with great many afii-
davits, TO prove that Mr.. Dobie's meve
was eligible to the race. The matter of
the fouling OF Alix. John Dicker-
sons alleged queer driving and Curry's
charges OF being approached TO
throw heat will come up next May.
According TO the affidavits presented boy
Secretary Allen, Pixley's entry was sub
stituted In due time for that OF Belle
Vara- Semo OF Budd Doble's employees
made affidavits showing the time the
entry blanks were filed out and mailed
from Springfield, Massachusetts,. TO
Secretary Allen at Joliet 30 compre-
hensive were these afiidavits that the
entry was traced from the time OF mail
ing 10 delivery. which was within the
time limit specified by the conditions of
the race. The board will consider this
phase Of the case IN executive session.
and speedy decision is expected. Mr.
Allen acknowledged that the requl-
sito entrance fee did not accom-
pany the entry blank. but said that
there was satisfactory agreement eN-
isting between him and Mr.. Doble. by
which he considered himself responsible
for Mr.. Doble's payments There seems
no other alternative for the board than

Trouble Likely To Arise About Taking

change has taken place in the strike sat

noon, the men formed in bodies
and started 10 report themselves
ready for work. They were In
high spirits The trainmen went
to Superintendent Donnelly. who.
on hearing them say they were ready
for work. told them to GO home and
wait until he sent 70. them. This
was unexpected and the men
turned away greatly downcast Somc
be received and put in their old places
without delay. They began talking it
over and the more they talked the
louder began the declarations OF some
that they had been outwitted.
from the firemen and engineers
that they had been told there were no
orders TO take them back. This added
fuel TO the fire OF dissatisfaction. Viii
kesbarre was communicated with by
telephone and il was learned there was
dissatisfaction there. The committees
had not returned up to 10 o'clock. Thus
matters stand. The men say that il
they are disappointed tomorrow the
strike will be put on tighter than ever.
They expected that most OF them would
be ordered on duty tonight. The
company's officials here say the men can
only be taken back as places occur; that
the road is in a demoralized shape
just DOW. and that no men were wanted
today. Some men will be wanted
TOMORROW, and old men will be set for.
Others will be taken beck az order Is re-
stored, but not withstanding this the
men tonight are far from satisfied.
