later, after a slight check, pushed on

high tide of its strength an opposing
factor presented itself in the weather
bureau prediction of rain in the Dako-
tas and Minnesota. This influence
was reinforced later by advices from
the Northwest that rain was already
falling. Some towns said the rain was
heavy and persistent. These consid-
erations gradually forced July back to

rallied to 1890 on covering by those

Making Cement Barrels.

As stated some time ago exclusively
i'm the REGISTER, the lola Portland
Cement Company decided to build
cooperage plant and make barrels
in which to ship their cement.
Without any fuss they have gone
ahead and last week the first work on
the barrels was begun, The plant is
finished and will turn out barrels
right along now, part of the output
of the factory being stored in heavy
paper sacks and part in the barrels.
1t will give steady work to a number
of men.
Mr.. Thos. G. Mccain, of Chicago,
representing manufacturing COM
pany of that city, is here superintend-
ing the setting up of two huge drying
cylinders in which the shale will be
roasted. The shale when taken from
the ground is moist and when in that
condition does not grind up easily
and has to be roasted.

They want to begin

mothers began it. They want to begin
where their fathers left of. The
young man wants to take his bride to
as good house as her father lives in.
These are the conditions that deter
young men from marrying or influence
them to postpone marriage until com
paratively late in life. And they are
improved conditions, too. 1t costs
more to live now than it used to, be-
cause the living is better. People live
in better houses, they have better
furniture, they wear better clothes,
and they have more of everything that
makes life comfortable and pleasant.
That this change has come about is a
matter for congratulation and not for
regret, for it is due solely to the fact
that industrial conditions are growing
better, that larger proportion of the
people are earning comfortable in
comes and are thus able to maintain
style of living that would have been
utterly beyond the reach of the people
in the same relative position in life a
generation ago.

CENTS A MONTH. That is to say, the
whole amount of liquor sold by the
army canteens during a whole year
was LESS THAN ONE GLASS WEEK
TO EACH OFFICER AND MAN! These
facts would certainly seem to justify
the statement which General Corbin
makes with pardonable pride that "In
comparison with all other citizens the
army of today is themost abstemious
body in our country. There is no
community of which we have any re-
port or knowledge that will show so
small a consumption of drink per
capita"
General Corbin frankly states that
in the beginning he was opposed to
the canteen, but that he has been
brought to its support by the lover
whelming evidence of it's benefcent
results upon the morals, health and
conteptment of the service" He says
that one thousand and nineteen com
missioned officers have made special
reports to this effect, and concluding
his letter says:
"As compared with those existing
twenty or thirty years ago-or with
any community at the present time
any where in civil life, the army is a
model temperance society-a practical
one: one where reasonable abstinence
is the rule and where excuses are the
exceptions; "A society whose precepts
no less than its example could be
followed in safety and sobriety.'
Coming as these statements do from
the Adjutant General of the Army
they have all the weight and authority
of an official report and they can GER
tainly leave no doubt in the mind OF
rational human beings that in,permit'
ing the continued existence of the
canteen President Mckinley is helping
and not hurting the cause of temper
ance among the soldiers

Jack Dalton Again

The police were called to the home
of Jack Dalton on south Walnut street
Sunday noon to quench a disturbance
between Jack and another man. They
arrested Dalton and he was arraigned
in police court on the charge of dis
turbing the peace. He pleaded guilty
and was assessed $50, fine and costs,
and given until evening to pay it. In
stead he went to the cement plant,
threw up his job, drew his money and
hiked. Mrs. Dalton has been i'll toI
some time and neighbor women have
been nursing her. Dalton in fit OF
fury Sunday abused her and swore
and roared about the house until the
woman in attendance fled and refused
to return. The neighborhood was
considerably worked up about it and
the report flew that Dalton had beaten
his sick wife.
Mayor Mcclure says he has no in
tention of letting Dalton run OFF and
saddle his family on the city or county
Arrangements will be made to send

MRS. pIGGS' MISTAKE.

In a speech recently Mrs. Annie
Diggs made the statement that the
eeason so many young women were
ntering the ranks of the bread win
ners is that they are no longer asked
in marriage, as the young women of
her day we're and they therefore had
to make their own living; and that the
reason the young women were not
asked in marriage was that under
present hard conditions the young
men are not able to make a living for
themselves and a wife also.
Ii is doubtful if even Mrs. Diggs
was ever before so grossly mis-
taken.
1t is probably true that more young
women are earning their own living
now than formerly. But that is be-
cause conditions have SO improved
,hat there are score of open doors
for women to where there was one
forty years ago. The young women
OF this day do not have to accept the
first offer of marriage made them lest
they fail OF getting a home.
And it is doubtless true that young
men do not marry as young now as
formerly, andperhaps there is great
er proportion who do notmarry at all.
But this is not because these young
men are not earning as much as the
young men in similar walks of life
earned a generation ago. Nine out of
ten of them are earning from two to
ten times as much as their fathers
earned when at their age, They do
not marry simply because neither they
nor their possible brides are willing
to begin life as their fathers and

in eighteen months four governments
have come to the United States
for money and our tiuan-
ciers have placed from go to 10 million
of their capital abroad, in addition to
taking the entire amount Of our own
war loan of 500, 900, 600
All OF which shows that the United
States has passed out of the ranks of
the debtors and has become n creditor
nation. And with thetremendous stride
which our nation is taking in business
and industrial development and in
commerce it is easy to forsee the time

be the worlds banker.
And so the march of events has
given us another illustration Of the
wisdom this country showed in elect

William BRYAN four years ago. Does
anyone believe for moment that the
continuation of the free trade
policy Of the Cleveland admin
istration. to which Mr.. Bryan was
thoroughly committed. would have
oivep us the tremendous balance of
FOREIGN trade which has come under
the Dngiev law. a net balance in our
favor i'm three years of 81. 400. 600. 600?
And does ANYBODY believe that if this
potion ma. adopted the free COINAGE
policy. .witbout the advice or consent
of any other nation" England and
Canada and Mexico and sweden
