1t is to be hoped that the government
will decide upon San Juan as the size for
a naval station in these waters. Su h r.
suit would lie most significant to tie fu-
ture of the city, it won d make 1t the most
important place in the archipelago under
our control suppOsing the purchase Of 81.
Thomas is not to be made.
Large operations in DIR dying the harbor
would b. nee ssaTy and the Work of cons
truction upon the station would give en-
pioyment to thousands and lead to the ex-
peuditure of very grea. sums of money,
much of which would remain lere.
Fleets of war ships would often anchor
here snd other shipping woull increase
Business Of al linis would take on lar
ger volume and the benefits won be felt
by all.
There is no other thing of greater con-
Germ to the island and the people of this
city than a fayorsble settlement Of this

Two veterans who attended the
Missouri Grand Army of the Re-
public encampment last week are
believed to hold record each.
One was Henry Dorman, who was
born Jan 10, 1899, and served in
the Seventh Michigan cavalry
through the civil war. He is
thought to be the oldest of all
Grand Army men. Gilbert Van
Zandt of Kansas City claims to be
the youngest veteran. When 10
years old he enlisted in the Sew
enty-ninth Ohio infantry as drum
mer hoy and was afterward de-
tailed as a dispatch carrier.

But in process of time, as wealth
accumulated among the church

it was a matter of difficulty per-

it, but get through it he could and

lleved OF Their Wealth.
While wandering through the
bad .auds Of Missouri valley, last
night about II o'clock, Vim. Mace
and VIM. Dugan, both residents Of
this city, we're held up and reliev-
ed of all their personal effects by
two bold, bad highwaymen. each Of
whom carried revolver, accol-
ding to Mace's estimation. as large
as u barrel. In an attempt to fight
the robbers, Mace WAS assaulted,
sustaining rather severe injuries.
just few minutes before IL o.
clock as Mace and Dugan were
passing through the North Wes-
tern yards, in the vicinity of the
railroad shops, two strangers hav-
ing the attire and general appear
ance of trsmps, sccosted them and
as the two Bills turned around,
they were looking directly into the
muzzle of two revolvers. The two
strangers ordered the two "Wms"
to elevate their hands and main
tain such position until given per-
mission to do otherwise. Dugan
was in q decidedly agreeable mood
at that certain time. and obeyed
exactly every request made, but
Mace attempted to argue the mat
ter. He was struck across the
head with the butt end of one of
the revolvers carried by the rob
bers, and before he could recover
from the shock anther blow follow
lowed in quick succession. By
this time Mace was thoroughly
subdued and made no further re-
sistance. One of the robbers then
proceeded to search Mace, secu-
ring about three dollars for for his
trouble. A careful search of Du-
gan's clothing failed to reveal the
least article of value.
DR.. McGavren attended to Maces
injuries aud found it necessary to
take several stitches in closing the
wounds. The police have only q
partial description of the robbers
and it is highly probable they will
not be appreLended.

,'ass aud that the superintendent

c'ass aud that the superintendent
should meet with hearty support
in the dismissal If such teacher,
was heartily accorded with. Some
one remarked that the teacher
who has enough love of God in
her heart to make her a suitable
guide for the young will not be
irregular; such a one will over
ride all circumstances but sickness
III Ler home. The mode of en-
listing supply teachers was dis
cussed under the topic of the
"Practibility of the Normal Glass
in the Sunday School," led by
Rev j F Lilly of Wooabine. Mr.
Lilly thought a normal class in
most schools impractical, but this
was not the sentiment of many
present.
The following resolution was
then presented by Mrs NJ P Brace
and was adopted by the conyen-
tion:
Be it resolved by this conven-
tion that there be organized in as
many of the Sunday schools of
this county as shall be found
practicable a normal class, or
meeting where the lesson for the
following Sunday shall be taught,
where the plans of each school
may be discussed and where all
interested in the study of the
Bible may meet Tor the promo
tion of the Sunday school work.
In the afternoon Rev r 81 Shat
toe left the bedside of his beloved
wife over whom the angel Death
had been lowering for several
days to give "Crumbs Of Comfort"
from Gods Word to his fellow
workers, and Gods hand led and
comforted Mr.. Shaftoe, himself.
"The Weak Points in our Sun
day School" was set forth by
Mrs G A Davidson, of Mo Valley,
in fine paper, as irreverance,
lack of business methods, irreg-
ularity OF teachers, lack of COM
plete conservation to the work on
the part OF the teachers.
Rev T s Molesworth, of Logan,
spoke of the Bible Glass, of what
composed, and the manner Of
teaching in it. Mr.. Molesworth
thinks many adult classes are SO
deeply buried in ruts by the
teachers of the class that they can
never be resurrected. Well form
ulated plans on the part of the
teacher as we'll as a good strong
admixture of hard common sense.
This was followed by open par
Lament, which was joined in
