Conductor W. b. Parkens, who as

He is careful, accommodating, and very
attentive to business and makes It

The morning was an ideal one-elear
and bright. with q gentle breeze from
the north, just enough to make It cool
and pleasant; intact, II we had been
given the power to arrange the day 1t
would have been just as 1t was.
1t was thought we could raise, with
the help of other towns on the road, 500
excursiontsts, tut when the tsain pulled
nR to the platform a rush was made
tor the cars which astonished "the old.

time.
From here we passed several small

few additions to our already crow
ded train, which now contained about
one thousand excursionists.
II may, in this connection, be prop.
er to speak of the country traversed BY
thta road, and MOTTO be tedious may say
that no finer section of country ever
fell to the heritage of man; smooth
nice praries, with background of un-
dulating bills and slopes as far as the
eye can Fe!esGsh, with scattering groves.
On the. way we passed the McHenry
stock farm where q herd of black Poll
Angus cattle were feeding on the
hillside. This is one the finest herds of
cattle in the great state of iowa.
Before reaching Wall Lake, a town
on the Carroll branch, we passed thro'
the noted goose pond. THIS IS body
of low, wet land. containing several
thousand acres, valuable only for grass
and wild geese. Just outside of this
swamp land the land is higher and sus.
ceptsble of high cultivation, and from
the car window could see large farms
and 'ripening grain.
Then comes the sand and gravel land,
which furnish an abundsnce Of mate.

We Are Glad To See It.

we Are Glad To See 1t.
Our republican friends have not
only selected good man for rep.
resentative, but have also 80 acted
as to restore to our people that
fellow feeling 30 essentlal to true
friendship in q community. A few
years since, ,aotuated by misguided
zeal, q portion of our citizens,
without due consideration, orga-
nized what was known as the
"a. 2. A." party. which denied to
our Catholic friends the right to
worship God as to them might be
proper. This party, for time,
by uniting with the republican
party, swept the country as by a
whirlwind, SO much go that many
feared it would result 10 civil war.
That time has at last passed away,
and the republican leaders, as a
mark of good faith, have selected
a Catholic as leader to carry the
flag in the coming political conflict
in the person of George Egan, of
Cincinnati township.
Mr.. Egan is a young man of good
character, fair ability, liberal edu-
cation, with a good command of
language, pleasant personality,
and abundent energy, and for him
it ia a misfortune to abandon the
field Of the law to enter the doubt
full field of politics. We are not,
however, advocating his election,
differing as we do politically, but
we do congratulate our republican
friends in their good judgment in
30 making their nomination as to
take from the political arena this
non-Americau pa,,ty, matter thai
Mak a disturbing element which
could do no earthly good to the
country but great harm. 1t may
be a little hard for some radical
A. z. A. to swallow the dose, but
like the man who eat the crow,
Swallow it and swear it's good" :"
and feel that q little personal sac
rltice will be for the general good
in hoaliug the breach which once
80 distracted political parties, and
leave to all mon the right to wor-
ship God according to their own
faith, without endangering their
standing in their political party.
We are glad to see the second
sober thought of the people re-
turning, and trust that A. P. A
ism and Kn ownotbing-ism may
never find resting place in our
beloved country again, but that
every man, without regard to his
country or religion, will be esti-
mated for his moral worth, his
"horse sense" his ability for good
and if the election of our young
friend Egan is the meansof uniting
these antagonistic elements then
I'VE will rejoice at his success.

ELECTIONS HELD
IN OPEN CAUCUS
OF SUPERVISORS
Finance Committee
Named.
MINORITY MEMBERS IGNORED

The incoming Board of Supervisors held
an open caucus last night in the board
rooms at the City Hall and elected Super-
visor Thomas Jennings chairman of the
Finance Committee and Supervisors
Tobin and Hotaling as his coworkers in
that body. Victor Duboce, the nominee of
the minority. was turned down cold and
got only the three Republican votes. The
creation of the remaining committees was
delegated to Mayor Phelan and he. in
accepting the charge. said he would make
known his selections at the first regular
meeting of the board on January s.
The little business transacted had been
programmed before the meeting opened
ana went through without hitch. The
board displayed a gratifying unanimity
and an enthusiasm which called forth the
heartiest commendation of the Mayor
who was called upon to open the meet
ing. This he did with a snort outline of
charter were TO be. In mentioning the
numerous committees, he said the License
and Order Committee would have consid-
cradle work before II, as the charter re-
mitted the license now charged upon the
merchants and deficiency of $1O0. 900 per
annum would result. He suggested that
there were many ways of making that
amount up and even increasing the rev.
enue of the city from licenses and that II
would deVOlVe upon the committee to de-
wise ways and means to that end He
should be created and further that, in his
opinion, every department in the city gov
ernment should be represented by a COM
mittee on the Board of Supervisors
Mayor Phelan gave way 10 DIR. d. An
coma, who was elected chairman of the
meeting. James L. Booth was made tenn
porary secretary. Supervisor Tobin sug-
gested that the selection of the Finance
Committee be made. He placed Thomas
Jennings name before the board. There
were no other nominations and the secre-
tary cast the ballot. Supervisors Hotaling
and Tobin were then named. Supervisor
Sanderson nominated Colonel Duboce as
the minority candidate. In doing so he
made a demand for minority recognition
and stated that the charter itself was
pregnant with the spirit of non-partisan-
ship and that ii was the custom of all
legislative bodies to grant the recognition
he demanded. The vote gave Hotaling Ia
Tobin 13 and Duboce g.
A discussion of committees followed and
in speaking of a committee on improve
ments OF streets and the water front
which was suggested by Supervisor
O'Connor the Mayor said that the State
at present had control of the harbor
front but that the merchants had al
ready started a movement looking to the
reinvestment of the city with that prop
erty. He said II was the policy OF the
party TO bring that contamination about.
Adjournment was taken TO o'clock on
the afternoon of January s.
