PORTO RICO BILL AMEN DMENrs.
senator Foraker Introduces New
Bill Containing Changes Decided on


Washington, March 27.-senator For
aker today introduced the amendments
TO the Porto Rican government bill.
which We're read 10 the republican sem
satorial caucus Yesterday and some OF
which were agreed to by it. The amend
ments are Incorporated in the new
print of the bill and the bill as thus
amended is introduced as new meas
ure. The first important change Is
made in section 5, in which the inhabit
ants are described as citizens of Porto
Rico and as such are entitled To the
protection of the United States, "
whereas in the old bill they We're des-
ignated as citizens of the United
States"
There is a substitute for section $. in
regard to articles imported into Porto
Rico from ports outside the United
States and a new provision made in
regard to commerce between the United
States and Porto Rico; also substi-
tute for section 10 concerning the dis
posal of Porto Rican revenues.

Portugal Able 10 Meet the Award.


Portugal Able 10 Meet the Award.
London March Eft is learned that
Portugal is quite prepared to meet the
Deiagoa bay award Without borrowing
money. Current reports that Great Br-
tain intends lending the Portuguese
government money in exchange for
privileges at Delagoa bay and Beira are
declared 10 be absolutely incorrect. The
British government has received no in
timation in regard to the award and
has no information of its terms or when
they will be announced, but 1t hopes to
receive this information during the cur
rent week
The same condition of affairs in re-
gard to the award prevails at the Amer
lean embassy, where the securities of
the claimants are deposited. On all sides
it is said the long delay in reaching a
decision has had the most serious effect
upon the principle of arbitration.

Obituary.

In the death of Mr.. Zacharias Iver-
son, Jan. 30, 1900, this community lost
respected, honest and unassuming
citizen. He needs no other eulogy to
speak for him, and point to his worth,
than the life he lived here in Lime
Springs. His everyday life expressed
his qualities of heart, and endears his
memory to all who knew him. Such
life is commendable, and such a
character and disposition is lovable.
His familiar form and presence will
be missed at his home and upon our
streets. But that is not all that we
as a people who have known him will
miss. If we have been observing and
If we are disposed to profit by the
lessons of observation, then we shall
miss his example. Seldom do we meet
with a character and disposition SO
unique. Few would look to him for
council and advice, BIASED as advice
and council proves to be, and is often
the creature of circumstances and Of
policy. He could not advise or council,
he was too reserved and too honest to
assume such part. But with the aid
of the Divine Master, who said, ellis
grace was sufficient" he could do
right and live right. And while he
1condemned the evil and the wrong
doing in Others, the criticised could
not point to a ''beam in his own eye. y
FIe possessed rich gift, the gift of
doing good by example, and christian
conduct, and this clearly revealed the
man, and his worth, who honored God
in his daily life.
| Dead, did we say, the silent and re-
served man has only entered the
grave. God lives, and His word is
true, and His truth is everlasting.
Marvel not at this, for the hour is
coming, in which all that are in the
grave shall hear his voice, and shall
come forth; they that have done good
unto the resurrection OF life, and they
that have done evil unto the ressurec
tion of damnation. John 5, 1929

SteWartvilie.

This beautiful and thriving village
is located in the extreme south portion
of Olmstead Co., Minnesota, on the
line of the Winona and South Western
Railway. Prior to the advent of that
railway it had few scattered homes,
a few grocerS and dealers in such
articles as were of prime necessity for
its people and for those tributary in
the surrounding country. Since the
advent of the railway its growth has
been phenomenal. New and elegant
residences appear in all parts of the
town which probably contains 1900
inhabitants. A new business street
has been opened upon which has been
erected several very large brick build
ing devoted to mercantile pursuits,
over one of which is a fine Opera
House. OF it's fifteen merchants
at least eight occupy these brick build-
ings. There are four exclusive grocery
stores, two drug stores, two hardware
stores, two harness shops, general
repair and machine shop, water works,
a complete telephone systems,a cream
cry, CusSens Milling Company with a
capacity of 100 barrels daily, bakery,
tailor shop, three nnlinery stores,
three blacksmith shops, four churches,
Congregationalist, Methodist, Cath

third in process of construction. The
Stewartyille House by Fred Tews just
