SAW THE EYES MOVE.
An Iowa Divine Writes Home About
Miracle He Witnessed in an
Italian Chapel.

Rev. Father Baumann, pastor of the
Sacred Heart German Catholic church
in Dubuque, writes home that he saw
the eyes in a painting of the Blessed
Virgin, hung in chapel near Loretto,
Italy, move as he gazed at it.
Loretto, the Italian city where
Father Baumann writes that he
witnessed the moving of pictured
eyes, is in the Marches, about
three miles from the Adriatic. 1t
owes its origin to the house of
the Virgin, which, according to the ira
dition, was carried thither from Naz-
areth by the angels. Father Baumann
writes that he said mass in this house.
The holy shrine at Loretto is an OBJ
ject of attraction to visitors. and the
trade of the place is extensively in ros-
aries and sacred relics. Father Bau-
mann has been making tour of sacred
places in Europe, and will no doubt
have many other wonderful stories of
miracles to relate when he returns to
his old-fashioned German congregation
there.

Republican newspapers are making
great noise concerning the S3,000,0 900
which Uncle Sam is to distribute
among the Cuban soldiers. The De-
troit journal says:
However this may be, it is clear that
Uncle Sam cannot long continue in
the attitude of one on his knees beg
ging 20-cent soldier to take $75 and
be good forever more. Within twenty
four hours the old gentleman ought to
thrust the roll down into the deepest
pocket of his jeans and show little
dignity himself. We would rather
blow that $4,000, 900 in a Dewey Fourth
of July, anyway.
1t will be remembered that not one
of these republican organs has had a
word in criticism of the payment to
Spain of 800, 100000.
Let us glance at the situation.
Having whipped Spain to a FRAGILE
we pay her 100000 for the privilege
of taking off her hands rebellious peo-
pie whom Spain could not conquer, and
whom we are finding it difficult tosup-
press. And the republican organs de-
clare this payment to be above criti-
ciSm.
Having declared the Cuban people
to be entitled to liberty and an indie
pendent form of government we as
sisted in tearing from Cuba the Span
ish yoke. We assumed authority in
Cuba and took possession of her Gus
tom houses. When it is proposed that
this government should pay some
money to the Cuban soldiers the re.
publican organs call it charity and
seek to make itappear that the Cubans
should be extremely grateful for this
bounty" 1t has perhaps never zoe.
Cured to these organs that if we would
deliver to the Cuban people possession
of their custom houses and other sourc-
es of revenue that they would be able
to pay their soldiers, And it has never
occurred to these organs that when we
designate the payment of this S3,000,-
600 as charity" that it is necessary to
find some designation for our act when
we collect the revenues of the Cuban
people.
We pay Spain s2o,ooo,ooo in exchange
for the privilege of spending 800. 0Oo,.
900 more in an effort to suppress a
liberty-loying people. And the repub-
lican organs call this wisdom.
We advance to Cuba SO, 100000 after
having taken possession of the source
of Cuban revenue and the republican
organs declare this to be "charity."
In this connection it may be well te
say that the receipts of the Cuban
ports for the last four months amount
to 81, 400, 000.- World Herald.

IMPORTANT RULING.
ton Concerning Newspapers and
SecOnd-Clnss Mail Matter.

Postmaster Ferner, of Nevada, re-
ceived letter from the authorities at
Washington which may be regarded as
an important ruling, as 1T concerns
newspapers and second class matter.
For many years it has been the custom
in Story as well as other counties for
one paper to print the premium list for
the county fair, and also run off slip
ulated number of copies which APP
peared as supplements in other local
papers. 1t is contrary to the rules gov
erning the publication of second-class
matter for paper to issue any adver-
Using supplements, such as medicine
pages, ETC., and these premium lists are
now regarded not only as not news mat
ter, but as an advertisement of the
county fair. Consequently they will
be refused transmission through the
mails when issued us supplements. The
authorities claim that this course is un-
avoidable, as the mails are becoming
too heavy for the facilities for handling
them.

As the Commercial Travellers See
the Trusts,

p. e. Dove, President of the Com
mercial Travellers Association. testi-
fed before the Industrial Commission
yesterday
That the trusts have thrown out of
employment more than $4,000 sales
men and have reduced the salaries OF
more than $4,000.
That they have thus ''saved" up
ward of $114, 900, 900 year. of which
$6O,000,000 comes from salaries 1921 .OOO,-
600 from the railroads and 5000, OOC
from hotels.
That the public "benefts' from
these economics in general rise OF
prices-iron pipe, 100 per cent: iron.
ware, 80 per cent; furniture, 30 pei
cent; rubber goods. IA per cent
window glass, 100 per cent; common
soap, % to so cents a box, &C., sc.
All this is undoubtedly quite true
and much to be regretted; yet, at the
same time, when the great contest
between men and monopolies was
waged in 1896, at least 80 per cent OF
these commercial travellers were or
the side of the monopolies.

His Death Certificate.

Few men enjoy the privilege of
walking about for days, weeks, and
may be years, able to display their
own death certificate. legally drawn
up and signed.
One of the men Of the Eighth regi-
ment, who returned to Boston on the
transport Meade, has his death certifi-
cate given by the army surgeon while
the soldier was lying at the point of
death in the hospital at Matanzas.
1t seems that this soldier boy, whose
home is in Salem, was in the division
hospital and very Ill. He was believed
to be beyond all medical skill, and the
surgeon visited him for the last time
and Informed the attendant that the
boy was dying. and that he would Ger.
tainly be dead before many minutes.
The surgeon was a busy man and
had many other patients to visit. To
expedite matters he drew up and
signed the death certificate then and
there.
But the soldier from Salem is of the
old Puritan stock, and he fooled the
surgeon and refused to die, even after
his death certificate was signed.
The signing of that death certih-
cate made his thin, almost absent,
blood boil and he got well.
He then concealed the certificate of
his death as trophy of his war ex-
perience. The surgeon who gave it
wanted the certificate back when he
saw that his patient had recovered.
But the more he wanted it the more
did the live soldier hold on to the doc
ument. His friends in Salem will
doubtless look at it with the keenest
interest,

The Tariff the Mother of Trusts.

Hayemeyer, the sugar king, testified
before the Industrial Commission last
week. He said: "The tariff is the
mother of trusts. l repeat
that all this agitation against trusts
is against merely the business machin-
cry employed to take from the public
what the government in it's tariff laws
says it is proper and suitable they
should have. 1t is the government,
through its tariff laws, which plumbers
the people, and the trusts, ETC., are
merely the machinery for doingit."
Mr.. Havemeyer is certainly in a
position which enables him to know as
much about tariffs and trusts as any
man in the country.

Lost Bank Notes.

1t is fact, that to many minds, no
doubt must be very curious, that the
Bank of England has always had a
pretty good source Of profit in the loss
and destruction of Its bank notes.
What it has gained of late years in
this way we are unable to say, but
during period of 10 years preceding
1882 the bank had made a clear profit
of f1,330,00O from outstanding paper
never likely to be presented for pay
ment. When the destruction or the
irrevocable loss of note can be
proved, as in the event Of fire or
wreck 1t can, the bank, of course, will
always pay the money 1t represents,
and even when there is doubt about 1t
the cash is paid on security being CIV
en- for indemnifying the bank should
the note ever be presented. The $780,
900 worth Of paper Cor 100000 as it ap-
from PARIS bank will therefore not
represent a loss unless the crisp little
billets have some day to be duly hon
ored at the Bank of England counter.
In that case the cash paid in exchange
for them will have to come out of the
Golfers of the plundered bank, says
London paper.
Many years ago bank director lost
note for 100000. But. being man
of credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss Of the bill, he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money.
Many years after, when the man had
long been dead, the paper was pre-
sented. 1t was payable on demand,
and had come from abroad in the ordi-
nary way Of business, and the sum it
represented had to be handed over, and
as the indemnity that had been given
was repudiated by the heirs of the man
who had given it, and for some rea-
son could not be enforced, the bank
on that occasion had to put 100000 on
the debit side Of the account. For once
in a way they paid double honor to
bit Of their own paper.
There is another story of sum Of
100000 which the bank in its early
days for short time refused to hand
over in exchange for its own notes.
They were presented by Jew, whose
assertion that he had bought them
was not disputed and whose personal
integrity was above suspicion. They
had, however, undoubtedly been
stolen, and on that ground the bank
refused to pay the money. The Jew
went out into the city and began to
spread 1t abroad that the bank was
shaky and couldn't cash his notes, and
as he backed his assertion by display
ing his indisputable paper the asser-
ton would in all probability soon have
caused run on the bank. In few
minutes messenger came to say that
the notes would be cashed II he would
present them again.

$3e,ooo,ooo in Gold.

The Salmon and Clearwater placer
mines in Idaho, according to Wells
Fargo Express Company's receipts
yielded in gold dust and nuggets from
thirty-eight to forty million dollars
between 1860 and 81. Notwithstand-
ing the difficulties of transportation
in those days, remoteness from civil
ization, and hostile Indians, the fame
of the rich gold placers around Elk
City, Florence, Orc Elmo and Millers-
burg reached the outside world, and a
stampede marked the opening of the
sixties. Bancroft, the historian, long
ago expressed the belief that these
placer mines were but the outskirts or
washing of a richer central deposit,
and almost simultaneously with the
recent completion of the Northern
Pacitic's Lewiston, Idaho, extension
ment that prospectors have discovered
immense lodges of collaborating quartz
in the Buffalo Hump range lying be-
tween Salmon and the South Fork of
the Clearwater, along which latter
stream the Northern Pacific is now
building its Clearwater Line. For

his sons and daughters that have put

sured as a successful stock horse, as
each person owning colt from him
speaks in highest praise of it and his
success is only what could NATURALLY be
expected from horse of his size and
so royalty bred. No other horse in
Northeastern Iowa can boast of the fol
lowing facts, as shown by the records.
His sire has 30 i'm the list from POS to

The sire of his dam has them in the
list from Pill to 2:30; his dam is repre-
sented by her produce from 2:174 to
2:3O: his grand dams produce repre-
Sents 2:23. He traces direct through
his sire, his dam, and grand dam to
Rysdyk'S Hambletonian.
He has more standard bred ancestry.
He has more producing ancestry.
His ancestry have produced more

His ancestry have lower records.
He has more producing half BROTH
ers and sisters.
His ancestry have sold for larger
prices than the ancestry of any horse
that ever stood in Howard county.
His half brother Night, rec. 2:22, sired
Anaconda, rec. 2:044, and he is stand
ard under as many rules as any horse
in Howard county, and is the only
Wilkes stallion in Howard county,
which every horseman knows the
Wilkes family leads all others.
The sale of Lisburn's produce have
averaged better prices than the pro-
duce of any horse that ever stood i'm
the county. His patronage is very
gratifying, as it is more liberal and
averages a much better grade of mares
as he has quite number of choice
standard mares this season.
