the circular recently sent out by the
League of Catholic Unity have been re-

for the reuniting of Christendom will be
the organization of local circles wherever
there shall be a number of the members in
one place. For the organization of such
local circles a constitution has been pre-.

been adopted by the parent body. The
consti. tuition is preceded by preamble
setting forth the four articles of the Lam.
beth conference as a basis of church

A GREAT LOSS TO wALLA wALLA
Henry Keeling, High in City Councils,
Passes TO the Silent Majority.

Henry KEELING, High in City Councils,
Passes TO the Silent Majority.
Walla Walla, July 7.-Henry KEELING,
for years city clerk Of this city, and one
of the most prominent citizens of Walla
Walla, died at O'clock this evening,
after lingering illness.
Mr.. Keeling was born in Comanche
Camp, Cal, in 1863, and came to Walla
Walla with his parents at an early age
He first came into public prominence
in 1888, when he was elected city clerk
and has held that position continuously
until his death. He has been prominent
~ identified with every public improve
ment and demonstration in the city and
county for Is years, and was a man
whose sterling integrity, generosity and
capability made warm friends of every
one with whom he came in contact. He
was president of the Walla Walla Fire
Association; a member of the odd Fell
lows, Masons and Knights of Pythias
chairman of the democratic county cen
trail committee; a moving spirit in the
Whitman Historical Society and Pion-
eer Association. He had taken first rank

entertaining writer and his work will
be of great value to Walla Walla and
the northwest.
The funeral will occur T uesday and
will be one of the most largely attended
in the history of the city. Flags are
flying at half-mast today.
A peculiar situation has developed by
the death of Mr.. Keeling. He was a can
didate for reelection and it is conceded
would have polled the largest vote tai
lied for him at any election. There were
forfr q &c 10
ton, but all withdrew except one, Alex
ander Mckay. The election occurs to-
day and under ordinary circumstances
Mckay would have no opposition. M.
NJ Hart, however, has filed a petition
with the proper authorities praying that
his name be allowed to go before the
voters as a candidate for the Office of
city clerk. In case it is allowed. there
will be close race between Mckay and
Hart. Hart was one of the four men
who withdrew originally from the race.

DAKOTA cATTLEMeN ARE UNEASY
Wholesale Seizure of Government Land
viii BE Ended Shortly.

Chamberlain, S. D., July 9-The proba-
bilities are that a general movement all
along the line is to be made against the
cattlemen and others in this state who
have for years openly defed the law by
fencing government lands.
United States Commissioner Morrow of
this city has received instructions to in
vestigate several cases where stock men
have placed fences around large bodies
of government land. United States COM
missioners at other points throughout the
state have undoubtedly had similar or
ders and the practice of illegally fencing
portions of the public domain will be
stopped if possible. In many instances
stock men have fenced the only accessi-
BILE points to streams where cattle of adj
iacent homesteaders were accustomed to
water
