SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
A Victim of the TiOga wreck Sues for
$4,000

THE first suit for damages result
ing from the disasterous wreck at
Tioga on September 20 of last year
has been filed by E. M. Kolb of our
city, who by his attorneys, Rickel &

circuit court for the recovery of s25, :
600 damages for injuries received in
that wreck" says the Belle PLANE
Union. "Mr. Kolb has been unable
to work since the accident and is in
pain at all times. The physicians
with whom he has consulted, and he,
has consulted several, have not been
able to give him relief. All other
claims against the company on ac-
count of injuries received have been
settled out of court, but it seems in
this case the parties were unable to
agree upon an amount and the Off

SWEENEY LECTURE.
An Excellent Number of the
Union Course.

The second number of the popular
Union Lecture Course was given by
DR.. q. T. Sweeney Monday evening.
The Rev. j, P. Mcknight, who has
known the eminent divine from child
hood, introduced him to the large
audience and announced the subject
of the lecture to be"The Golden Age"
DIR. Sweeney began talking little
after eight O'Clock and did not close
his discourse until ten, but he held
the unwavering interest OF his audi
ence until the very close. Everything
he said was full of vigor and earnest
ness, relieved by touches of quaint,
wholesome humor that kept the smile
on every face.
DR.. Sweeney explained the golden
age of anything to be when that per-
iod of existence is reached which best
serves the purpose for which it was
created. The golden age of man, the
nation, the church, and the family
were the subdivisions of the subject
handled.
Man is the greatest of Gods crea-
lures because he is the only thing
that can think the thoughts of the AL
mighty after Him. He can only be
measured by himself, NOT by mater
ial things; clothes, physical beauty
are not things for Boosting. No man
grows five or six feet by will, but he
can determine whether he be true or
false. The equality of man was
touched upon, God never intended
men to be just alike or He would have
distributed the brains of the race very
differently; but He has intended that
every man should make the best of
himself, and only coward wants a
handicap in the race of life. The mir
acles of science were spoken of and
the wonderful way man has brought
nature to serve him, but he has not
yet reached the golden age when ma
ture best serves the purpose for which
it was created. Man is but reading
the alphabet of the science of nature.
All the forces were here when Adam
was living, but he did not learn their
secrets as has Edison. And there are
still mightier secrets to be discovered
before the golden age will be reached.
The national life was next discussed
and the fact demonstrated that ours
is not the greatest from naval or
military standpoint, has not the most
beautiful art galleries, has not been

BALTIMORE TAYLOR'S WILL
Leaves Most of His Property 20 His Sis
ter and Some TO II. IL. Thatcher.

The will of the late Baltimore
Taylor has been fled for probate in
the district court. The instrument
directs that all his property goes to
his sister, Mrs. Priscilla Magaw, OF
Santa Barbara, California, and in the
event of her death to her son, Eddy
Magaw, except 10 acres of land which
is bequeathed to II. R. Thatcher and
w. w. Haskell, and $500 in money to
II. r. Thatcher. Before the will was
made, however, trust deed had been
signed by Mr.. Taylor disposing of bis
farm near White Oak, which consti-
tuted most of his possessions. The
farm has been sold and the CT urts
will be called upon to decide whether
the will or the deed is a prior claim
on the property.

the home of ths greatest literary eff
fort; but for all that we are the great
est nation of the world. All the others
listen to our voice, for we have the
greatest government in the world
that which best serves the people for
whom it was created. 1t instills the
best principles, gives the greatest OPP
portunities for every man, be he of
humble or aristocratic origin. That
is it's success.
At this point some of the reasons
were mentioned that are retarding
our national growth, and scathing
utterances given against the poison
ing literature being scattered among
our children, overthrowing all the in
tiuence of the home and school;
the manner in which the good men
are sitting down and permitting rings
from Tammany Hall to the little four
corners to rule the ballot box,-all
these things retard the golden age of
national life.
The church was next mentioned,
and number of things must be Grad
icated before the church will best
serve the interests of the individual
man. Instead of good people pray
ing God to send down the lightning
of His wrath upon the different evils
they must understand that He must
have conductors for the lightning
men and women through which il
must strike.
The last thoughts were upon the
family life and it's mighty influence,
which brought forth some of the
brightest words of the lecture. The
golden age of individual life will be
measured in eternity by the amount
of service it has rendered God and
it's fellow creatures.
There has never been lecturer in
Oskaloosa that has left better i'm
preston on his hearers. His thoughts
were so wholesome, patriotic, opti-
mistic and broad, and withRl so en-
tertaiuing.

ITS FATE IS IN DOUBT.
Marked Difference Among Repub-
lican Senators as to the Porto
Rican Tariff Measure.
A PROTEST AGAINST HOUSE BILL.
Senator Davis Free Trade Amendment
VIII He supported Heartily by n Ger
tain Element, While Able Men with
Different Views Will Hold Out to the
End-Attirude of the Democrats.

st. Louis, March Ga Washington
special to the Globe-Democrat says:
Beyond d protracted debate. little can
be predicted with confidence as to the
Porto Rican bill in the senate. Marked
differences among republicans develop.
Back of the amendment offered by Sem
ator Davis is protest on the part OF
one republican element against the ac-
ton of the house. 1t represents feel
ing on the part of certain republican SEN
atorS that the president message max
ing Porto Rico commercially part OF
the United States was the proper policy.
Mr.. Davis and his associates in this view
insist that it is altogether unnecessary
10 present any test of the power of the
United States to hold territory outside
of the constitution. They argue that the
passage of the Porto Rican bill for the
express purpose of furnishing basis for
such test case is practically confess
sion of want of faith in the position the
republicans have taken.
Senator Davis is not alone in this move
ment He has with him some of the
strongest men in the senate. But there
strong republicans on the other side.
and they are just as determined that
Porto Rico shall not be treated as under
the constitution. but shall be held a de-
tendency apart from the United States.
The relative strength of the divisions on
the republican side of the senate have
not yet developed. but the disposition to
disagree is apparently strong.
The Davis amendment probably will
command five votes in Minnesota, Mich
igan and North Dakota, where large -four
milling interests are urging break in
the protection line for the free delivery
of their products to the insular posses
SiOns.
The democrats welcomed the Davis
amendment as surrender to their side
until they discovered that 1t was proposed
TO extend only part OF the constitution
TO Porto Rico As their contention Is
that the constitution has followed the
nag, the method by which Senator Da-
Wis proposes to reach free trade with
Porto Rico is extremely distasteful to
the minority.
