that the knowledge by the insurgents Of
this Intention on his part led TO the at

COLONEL ARANGUREN'S WORK

The Herald correspondent with the
rebel army writes that he recently wit
messed the blowing up of train with a
body OF soldiers while crossing bridge.
This explosion was merely an expert
ment. From the insurgents standpoint,
1t was highly successful. The train was
wrecked and several soldiers were killed.
Colonel Aranguren had charge of the
operations The bomb was placed under
the bridge and connected with live wire
which extended some distance from the
trace. AS the train passed over the bridge
Colonel Aranguren pressed the koy and
the bomb exploded. The Spanish authori-
ties have tried TO keep secret the fact of
this explosion and the fact that the In
surgents are now using dynamite.
Several families. friends OF the Cubans
living in the suburbs of Havana, have
been warned to change their residences.
On the same day that the train was
blown up two columns OF Spanish troops
attacked a company of Cuban infantry
near Tapaste. The fighting continued five
hours. The Spanish force was finally
obliged to retire. The Cubans In tins
battle also used their new rapid firing
guns with great fleet

any more appointments at the
church after the first Sabbath in
August"
The statement referred to was one
Rev. Gregory could not make and
which he had never agreed to make.
Furthermore, Rev. Gregory never
withdrew his appointments from the
Jasper M. Il. church until the first
Sunday in August, after the receipt
of the above letter, which left him
no alternative.
As to the wisdom of organizing a
new Sunday School, or the action of
the trustees in refusing the use of
the church to them, the merits of
the controversy, or who was right
and who was wrong, we do not de-
sire to discuss.
If each one can not justify his
action by the result, it cannot be
Justified by mere words.

Rev. w. p. McKinsey gave a new

assigned to women in every reform

responsibility.
The bases of human rights and
duties is not found in mere circum
stances, much less in an accident o.
sex, color, rank or relation. The
curse Of all past ages has been the
false and pernicious notion of two

the man and another for the woman

THE AMERICAN HENS.


Mrs. American Business Hen is
one of our most useful citizens.
She is shrinking, unassuming

to cackle over the birth of her own
eggs, leaving the celebration to her
husband; and yet Mr.. American
Hen has been quietly paying off
mortgages, driving wolves from The
ioor and Matching nesteggs for
thousands of featherless bipeds
rhe New York World quotes sta
listics on the subject as follows !:
In 1890 there were in this country
|25S, ST. ,125 chickens, and 26, 1885,
|314 other fowls. In that year the
American hens laid 9,S36,674, 1892
eggs. There are now $4,000, 900
chickens, which will lay this year
l3, ,750, 600, 600 eggs. These eggs are
worth f165, 900, 600, and the poultry
meat sold during this year will bring
1925, 900, 900 which gives $500, ,0O0,-
1000, as a very low estimate of the
earnings Of Mrs. American Hen for
one year Of the great depression.
The $50, 900, 900 hens are worth
$105, ,000,0 o Of any mans money,
but we do not consider that, but
take simply the earnings of the hen.
The average length of an egg is two
and one-half inches. The 13, $780,
600, 600 eggs will, therefore, make
a chain 542, ,2lS miles long, while
the total weight of this production
of hen fruit is at least S53, 125 tons.
SOME coMPARATIvE FIGURES.
Does any reader realize what this
immense production of eggs and
meat means to this country? Here
are few figures for comparison:

Iowa RepubIicanism.

The Republican party in its con,

another attempt to fool the people
of Iowa by putting up a man fol
governor who has no record in poll
tics-Leslie M. Shaw Of Denison
They have followed the same line
of tactics that was so successful two
years ago, nominating man OF con-
siderable prominence in church af-
fairs, expecting thereby to hold the
church vote in line for their candi.
date. But it Is not probable that
the voters Of Iowa can be hooked
twice with the same bait. They
have learned to their sorrow that a
man of eminent church standing
can, when he tries, serve the liquor
power and the devil better than a
man without church connections OF
influence, and they will look beyond
the candidate to the platform this
year.
The Republican platform con-
tains plenty of buncomb and blus-
ter on other subjects, but has no
word concerning the liquor ques.

as meaning that the party is salts

lIIlhent Of postal savings banks.
Not only do the big dailies Of the
cities as rule approve Of the agita-
ton, but the newspapers in the
smaller towns almost without ex-
ception commend the movement.
While the comments in the news
papers of the north and west are
are most numerous, the press Of the
east and south is by no means back
ward in supporting the agitation.
Occasionally an old-time democratic
paper of the south opposes the plan
on the ground that it is not the
function Of the government to do
anything more than collect the
revenues and protect life and prop
erty. These are the extreme repre-
sentatives Of the school which holds
that that government is best which
governs least. But for the most
part the papers Of the south support
the movement for postal banks, and
call attention to the especial need
for them in that section Of the coun-
try, where banks Of all kinds are
scarce, and where places of safe de-
post Tor small savings are very far
apart.
