There were 2042 Brotherhood car

600 to-day.
One of the great features of the CO.
operative movement which is doing SO
much to promote the welfare of the
Irish people is to be found in the agri-
ucltural banks or creGlt associations,
conducted on the system first intro
duced in Germany by Herr Raiffersen
in 1849. Where money is scarce a
number of people form themselves into
society; and On their joint unlimit-
ed engagement to be responsible for its
liabilities, are able to obtain money
enough for t~cir needs. They borrow
at 4 or per cent. and lend at 6 per
cent. the difference going toward eX-
penses and reserve. On deposits from
its members the bank allows 4 per
ENTHUSIASTICALLY more than the r.

of these banks at work in Ireland,
with a membership OF 1000.

ST. LOUIS, December 22.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, commander of the depart
ment of the Missouri, who is in the
city as the guest of the New England
Society, said to-day in regard to a
dispatch published in Chicago paper,
purporting to quote from his speech
made on the st. Louis Merchants Ex-
change yesterday in which he was said
to have made the prediction that the
American flag will continue to float
over the Island of Cuba:
The meaning intended to convey
was that the American flag would
float over Cuba until a stable govern
ment shall be formed capable of pro-
tecting life and property and giving
confidence to capital. The United
States has promised the Cubans self
government and will carry out its
promise. Upon the Cubans will rest

WORD Fnou TENNYsoN.
Ottumwa Man Goes TO Montana In-
stead Of Cape Nome.

William Tennyson, who left Ottumwa
April bound for Cape Nome via Spo-
kane, has changed his mind about go
ing to the gold fields and is now locat-
ed near Miles City, Montana, where he
is engaged in agricultural pursuits. In
a letter to the Courier Mr.. Tennyson
says that the transportation facilities
from Spokane to the Nome gold fields
were not to his liking and hence he de-
termined to give up the idea. He went
to Clayton, Washington, and engaged
with firm making terra Gotta brick
but concluded to give it up and retrace
his steps to Montana where he is, as
he says, "communing with heavy
growth of alfalfa" He says that crops
in that state are failure this year eN-
cept on irrigated ranches where they
never fail. Mr.. Tennyson thinks that
Montana is the banner state for
amount of wages paid and says for peo-
pie with small capital it is a poor
mans heaven"

INCREASE CALVARY CEMETERY
Ten Acres Have Been Added. Making a
Total of Fifteen Acres

An addition of ten acres has been
made to the Calvary or Catholic ceme-
terry, which, when improved according
to the plans already outlined, will
make one of the handsomest burying
grounds in the state. There is now fiji
teen acres. in. the cemetery and the en-
tire acreage is surrounded by shade
trees. The main drives in the new adj
dition are twenty feet wide and the
paths between the graves are six feet
wide.
1t is the intention of the cemetery
association next spring to set out trees
along all the main drives. A large
space has been reserved in the center
of the grounds for the erection of a
stone cross. The ground thereabout
will be reserved for the burial of
priests. A large force of men will be
put to work in the old cemetery Mon
day, cutting down trees and shrubbery
and making an extensive fill in rayine
which passes thru a part of the
grounds. A drive way will be made
over the fill.
The Cavalry cemetery association is
formally incorporated with the bishop
of the diocese as president; Father
John. o Farrell, vice president; L. F.
Keefe, treasurer, and FL. A. Gangs, Sec
tary.
The Association now has its plans all
completed and the arrangement pro-
vides for very beautiful grounds. 1t
is certain that the Catholics of Ottum-
wa will carry out the outline in its
entirety, and will have a cemetery in
keeping with the. other sacred institu-
tons of that denomination in this city.

BROKECROUNDTODAY
Force Of Men Began Work on New
Wabash Round House Today.
4-STALL BUILDING, AND TURN TABLE
Various Conjectures as to Object of the
1mprovement-Satd to be for Elk.
elusive Use of Wabash,
However.

From Thursdays Daily.
The Wabash round house Of which
mention was made in the Courier one
evening this week will very soon be a
reality, as the ground for the improve
ment was broken today and in very
short time the erection of the building
will be commenced. The round
house will be constructed of
brick and will have capac-
ity of four engines. A turn ia
bic will be built adjacent to the round
house and tracks connecting the Wa
bash spur with the yards will be laid
at once. The improvements which the
Wabash now has under way are just
west of the approach to the Vine
street bridge and short distance south
of what is known as the Bloomfield
road.
The work on the round house and
turn-table improvement is under the
supervision of James Sandison, of Mo-
berly, Mo-, and his foreman, T. KEEL
lock. j. Stannard, of Kansas City, SUI
perintendent of bridges and building
and Chief Engineer Chandler, of the
Wabash, were in the city this morning
when they surveyed the ground that is
this afternoon being put in shape for
the improvements. Besides the round
house and turntable there will be an
ash pit and yard track which will con-
meet with the South Side spur at a
point near the junction of the Bloom
field road and the approach to the Vine
street bridge.
There has been no confirmation to
the runor which has been circulated
that the Milwaukee is the road which is
back of the new South Side railroad
yards. The Wabash is not saying a
great deal, only that it has always been
compelled to pay the Milwaukee for the
use of it's round house facilities which
are situated in place very inconveni-
ent for the former road, and that it
has become almost imperative that ii
have, its own facilities for caring for its
engines in Ottumwa. At present there
is only one Wabash engine in this city
over night. Every South Side resident
is hopeful that. the improvement which
as yet appears to mean nothing more
than above outlined, may develop into
something far greater.
