and devoted all her time to attending
conventions, working among officers
OF schools and every Sunday to at
tending schools. She has done won
ders in her line, and has succeeded in
interesting many counties in the work
of the association. 1t is largely due
to her efforts that at present only
three counties in Iowa are unorgan-
lied. Two of these have appointed
days upon which the organization will
be accomplished and the third will
drop into line soon after.
Mrs. MitcheII's Address.
Mrs. Mitchell spoke on the subject,
,'State and International Sunday
School Work" She prefaced her re-
marks with the quotation from Will
liam Reynolds the great Sunday school
worker, who said that the best people
in the world are to be found in the
churches and the best people in the
churches are to be found in the Sun
day schools. She illustrated her
point that organization should be ac-
complished by telling little stories.
The Iowa Association.
Her remarks then turned to the
Iowa Sunday School association, which
she mentioned as a link in the great
national and international organiza-
tions, which combine every Sunday
school in the civilized world. It's pur-
pose, as she stated it, is to reach ev-
cry child and bring him or her to Sun
day school, educate them in the study
of the Bible, interest them so they will
stay in the school and when they get
older, will become factors in the
church and teachers in the Sunday
school.
Its Aim.
The immediate aim of the associa-
ton, as stated by Mrs. Mitchell, is to
educate and increase the efficiency of
every Sunday school worker in Iowa,
so that Sheir work may be more bene-
fetal and may bring about more good
results.
The Association Work.
'The Sunday School association, "
said Mrs. Mitchell, stands for mod
ern methods in Sunday school work,
not the least beneficial of which is the
observance Of Decision Day, a recent
institution. This is the day on which
the Sunday school children make their
decision in flavor of Christianity and the
church. 1t is, and has been character
lied by many great Sunday school
workers as one of the greatest insti
tutions ever known for the saving of
the youth of the country. Eighty-five
per cent Of the church members come
from the Sunday schools, but of the
Sunday school children, only thirty
three per cent join the church. Is
there not much need for a Decision
Day, and it's general observance? The
association is making every effort to
ward such an observance"
Not UNCONVENTIONAL.
The association is not denominations
al, and has no leanings toward any
denomination. 1t sets at work in this
state 2,496 officers, whose Efforts are
put forth in behalf of the schools OF
every denomination 1t sends out nc
literature because it is tnter-denomi

pairing lessons for the various denomi

Father James Foley, Of Stuart, Will
Come to Ottumwa.
TAKE THE SACRED HEART PARISH
Father H. Maniett, Who Was Pastor
of That Parish Temporarily, Will Go
to Stuart PermanentIy-change to
Be Made Soon.

[From Mondays Daily.l
Rev. Father H. Maniett, the present
pastor of the Sacred Herat Catholic
church, who was sent to this city
few weeks ago to fill that position
temporarily, received letter from
Bishop Cosgrove, of the Davenport
diocese, of which Ottumwa is a part,
notifying him that he has been trans
ferred to Stuart, to take the place of
Rev. Father James Foley, who has for
twenty-four years been pastor of the
charge in that place.
Father Maniett.
Father Maniett came to Ottumwa al
most an entire stranger. He had been
vice-president of ST. Ambrose college,
at Davenport, and resigned that posi-
tion to take temporary charge of the
Sacred Heart parish in this city. Since
coming here he has made many sim
cere friends, although he has lived
here but few weeks, or since short
time after the death of Father Bernard
Flood, the former pastor of Sacred
Heart church. Father Maniett's many
friends regret that he has been called
elsewhere, but wish him success
wherever his duty may take him.
The New Pastor.
The change will probably take eff
feet within ten days, and Father Foley
will then come to Ottumwa to take
permanent charge of the Scored Heart
church. Father Foley is man of
middle age, and although he is but lit
tie known in Ottumwa, he is said by
those who do know him to be very
suitable man for the place. Father
Maniett is we'll acquainted with the
priest who will take his place, and to
a Courier reporter this morning he
said: Father Foley is, think. ma
tive of Ireland. He has good educa-
ton and was ordained about twenty
four year sage. Shortly after his or
dina ton he was appointed pastor at
Stuart, and has filled that position for
nearly quarter of a century, giving
much satisfaction to his Pensioners
ana superiors. He had done excellent
work at Stuart and the congregation
has prospered and grown under his
care. He brings to Ottumwa nearly
twenty-five years experience in a mis-
sion. He is whole-souled. a man of
easy approach by the people, has a
very gentlemanly manner, is kind and
courteous. He has made numberless
friends in Stuart and vicinity, and will
prove an excellent man for the Sacred
Heart parish.

snatched from the grave by using it. Yet in spite of ali these things, men of high and low station are enthusiastically praising Peruna in public print and pri. vate conversation.
 Hon. Edward G. Wade, of the United States Census Department, is one of the men in high station who believes that the whole world ought to know the vir- tues of Peruna. Having been cured himself his gratitude is 90 great that he is willing to use every honorable means to let others know 1t. No other remedy in the world is making such multitude of different cures.
 W. c. Hamilton, Sergeant Thirtysev- enth U. s. Volunteer Infantry, Spanish- American War, s31 New High Street, Los Angeles, Cal, writes:
 "When I returned from the army I was nearly dead with bladder and kid- ney trouble. considered myself a wreck for life, and as have seen so many soldiers whose health was forever ruined, life looked pretty dark to me. Our Colonel had in the meantime been using Peruna for similar trouble and as 1t seemed to help him advised me to try 1t. Thank God that did. Itslowly brought me back to life and health. I have been we'll now for over . year and would not exchange my health for all the wealth you could offer me. I am . great believer in Peruna and have good reason to be."-W. 0. Hamilton.
 President Louisiana Csmnaerciaf Club.
 Hon. William Watson washburn, President of the Louisiana Commercial Club, and g very well-known man of New Orleans, La., writes from 6s7 Canal street: f
 "I am satisfied that there is not a finer medicine placed before the public today than Peruna. have been troubled for nearly tw6lve years with kidney and liver trouble, and at times have been . pretty sick man unable to attend to my duties. had about made up my mind that no medicine could help me when one of your booklets was brought to my office which I read in leisure hour. I then decided to give Peruna a trial and found that had at last secured the right medicine for me. For two months I used it faithfully and then felt so well was like young man once more. This was over Q year ago and have not had any trouble since. Although I am in the seventies feel better and moro active than did thirty years ago."-w. W. washburn.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving O full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

TRIBUTE OF THE SEA.
During One Year No Less Inn 702
 Vessels Reported Abandoned.

Vessels Reported Abandoned.
 London Daily News.
 Lloyd's annual return of vessels lost and condemned shows in a striking form every year by the sea. The lost of life is not given, but no less than 702 ves- sells Of upward of hundred tons were reported last year as abandoned, burned, missing. in collision, wrecked, or foun- dered. To this vanished fleet must be added l46 vessels which were broken up or condemned. The total tonnage lost at sea Is upward of half a million-the equivalent of 800 craft of thousand tons apiece. No wonder the underwriters are busy. England can congratulate herself on holding the front rank in point of se- curity. for, while its actual losses are the heaviest, the number of wrecks relative to the tonnage afioat Is smaller than that of any of the ttrst-class maritime powers. To be strictly accurate, the col onies come out fraction better than the mother country. Germany comes next and Norway. with It's big fleet of the cast off vessels of other nations. shows the compared with ZSs for England, Nor ways fleet of floating collins has grown to be something like an international scandal, and 1t is time a conference was summoned for establishing some general standards of safety. by which every na- tion should be bound. We are by no means blameless ourselves in respect to finding and manning, but we are in a strong enough pOSItlOu 10 take the lnlJla- tive; and as large characters of Norwe- gian tonnage. and in our capacity of salesmen O. the very ships which come to grief on our coasts at every gale, we are by no means free from responsibility. One disquieting feature of the return Is the extremely small proportion of vessels condemned to the number owned. Last year l46 vessels were broken up out of the worlds fleet of A,8s3. We imagine that Lloyd's Is hardly satisfied with state of things which marks the survival or some thousands or unnt ships, and al. others.

KEEP BUSY.
Be Up and Doing-How to Keep
 Young.

Be Up and Do1ng-How to Keep
 Young.
 One can easily be very old before he dies without living to an old age. Vege- tating and merely existing Is not living The best way to keep young and active is to keep the brain active and one of the best ways to do that Is to keep the body well nourished, well cleaned and well exercised.
 As William Matthews declares. mo or gan of the body is tougher than the brain" and believes that in nine out of ten cases of breakdown among brain workers the cause is not an access of brain work" but the lack of something else-such as nutritious food. sleep, bod ily exercise, and a cheerful temper
 Mere hard work of itself he alleges. invigorates rather than weakens the brain and "does more to prolong life than to cut or fray its thread"
 Mental indifference and intellectual Jas situde in earlier days means mental stag nation-lnability either to be interesting or interesred-in old age. Lack of thought he declares. not only ''starves circulation" but causes men to driveI and sleep in old age-dead to everything but eating and drowsing in the chim- ney corner"
 Lots of old people and some young ones are for from being really alive as they do little more than merely exist Be up and doing.
 Keep reading good things.
 Hold your temper
 Look pleasant.

He next noticed the benefits to be derived from the increase in the public school fund that would result under the adoption of the new instrument; from this he pasesd on to local legislation and depicted in glowing terms the travesty enacted at the State Capitol every two years in the House of the useless local bills passed at a tremendous expense to the tAx-payeFs of the State.
