HIS LIFE WORK ENDS.
Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan of Chi
caqo Diocese Is Dead.

cago Diocese Is Dead.
Chicago, July 14.-Archbishop Pat
rick A Feehan, for twenty-five years
in charge of the Roman Catholic dio.
cese of Chicago, is dead after long
illness.
For m ore than 3 year the archbishop
had been in poor health. Much of his
time had been passed in the quiet of
his country home at Feehanville and
for months all executive business of
the church had been out of his hands.
Some time ago, for the purpose of
relieving him of the onerous duties of
his Office, Father P. ]. Muldoon was
appointed auxiliary bishop of Chicago.
This position is not in the line of sue
Cession and it does not follow that
Bishop Muldoon will take the place of
the archbishop.
Archbishop Feehan was born !
County Tipperary, Ireland, in 1920. He
had been archbishop of the archepis-
copal see of Chicago since Sept. 10,
1880. He had been in America since
1852 and a leader in the Catholic
priesthood of the West for forty-six
years. In 1865 he was made bishop
of Nashville He succeeded Bishop
Foley here.
Death was due to heart trouble, to
which the archbishop had been sub
ject.
The funeral of Archbishop Feehan
will be held in the Cathedral of the
Holy Name at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning. The inderment will be at
Calvary cemetery the same date.

BOARD ADJOURNS
Equalization of City Assess
ments CompIeted.
Council Transacts Very Little Bust
ness.--Claim For Damages From
c. K. Willard.

= The board of equalization completed
its work Friday and adjournsd}.
1t was decided to assess the new
Savings and Building association
81, 600, which amount is mutually
satisfactory. J. S. Schweigerd was
assessed $4,000 on money, and P. K.
Wiser was lowered $500 on goods
and merchandise.
The board resolved itself back into
a council and transacted little bust
ness.
The board of public works was
directed to fill holes in the streets
caused by last weeks rains, and to
repair Woodland avenue.
A cross walk was ordered laid on
Clark street across Prospect avenue.
The board of bubble works was au-
thorized to grade Mound avenue from
Poplar street to Sibley park. This
work will be do.e with the road
grader, and will be inexpensive.
Chas. K. Willard put in claim
against the city for $50 damages to
his clothing, caused by running into a
barbed wire fence on Clark street yes
terday. 1t appears that Contractor
Halstead, who is putting in a sewer
there, has wired the street off.
The council will probably not meet
again until the next regular meeting,
which will be next Friday night.

the handsome new house of Mrs.
Elizabeth heller on east Main street
about ready for the fathers. The storm
took the building and completely
wrecked it, throwing it over into the
basement and even breaking the
foundation so that it will be neces-
sary to relay the stone. The building
was one of the best liz the village, the
contract price being something over
two thousand dollars. This is heavy
loss to Mr.. Rub and his friends have
been right loyal in rallying to his
support with assistance of cash dona-
tions and labor. 1t was found neces-
sary to take the building, or rather
what remained of it apart, pull the
nails out of the lumber, separate the
material into piles and start the build
ing anew. 1t is a severe loss to Mr..
Rub, one he can lily afford, but he is
one of the men who looks on the
bright side and will do the best he can
in the face of the difficulty.

Another get-rich- quick concern has
gone bump in Chicago, and thousands
of investors who believed the rosy
stories told in the printed matter
which it sent out, have nothing but
a little slip of worthless paper for the
fabulous returns which they expected.
This concern based its ability to make
large returns on horse-racing. and
alleges that the heavy rains which in
terfered with the racing is the cause
of the failure. 1t is said the concern
had many victims in Wisconsin, the
citizens of the city of Appleton hav-
ing invested to the extent of $50, 000
and many smaller towns to almost a
great an extent comparatively. 1t is
strange how credulous many people
are, and how quickly they will snap
up some catch penny game which
promises immense returns for small
investment.

addition the storm swept with in
creased fury. At J. N. Wishart's the
barn was picked up carried half a
block, then dropped and stove to
pieces, the timbers being scattered
over the yards and fields for a block
around. In this neighborhood nearly
every chimney was leveled to the
roofs, out buildings overturned and
telephone poles and wires mixed up.
At G. 81. Nerbovig's the storm pre-
sented some of the unexplainable
mysteries, which accompany such at
mospheric disturbances. The barn
was picked up and thrown over into
the yard of M. NJ. Pratt adjoining, a
two seated carriage which was stored
in the barn remained where the build
ing had stood without a scratch or
, blemish. A pump in the yard was
over turned and many feet of piping
drawn up out of the we'll. The house
owned by Mrs. Roe and occupied by
0. E. Treanor, received rather severe
treatment from flying timhers torn
from the Nerbnvig and Pratt barns,

around so that the cross arm, which
stood extended north and south, stood
to the tst and west.
Trees by the hundred, some of them
two and three feet through, were
broken down and huge limbs snapped
off like pipe stems. The big railway
windmill was relieved of every fan
and is beyond repair, while through
out the country mills were blown
down by the DOZENS
In this vicinity fortunately not n
single person was injured so as to
necessitate the attention of a physi-
clan. A young man working for
Newton Greeley, of Beauford, had his
ankle sprained when the big barn
went down and some others received
slight bruises.
In Mapleton the largest individual
loss was that experienced by Mr.
Geo. Rub, the contractor, who had

ROOSEVELTS' HOLD ON THE
PEOPLE.

Everything is now pointing to Presi-
ton in 1904. Many of the big politi-
clans doubtless do.not like it, ..but.they
cannot help it. What Senator Hanna
thinks privately about it is not known.
He is far too schrewd politician to
buck public opinion, and -owes his
great success to the fact that he has
always been quick enough to pick up
the drift of spublic opinion and go
along with it, and so he will now
And the other big politicians are fall
ing into line. They are not going to
run up against the impossible atsthis
time. AS to the hold which Roosevelt
has with the people the Kansas City
Star says:
THE mention of President Roose-
velt's name in the Republican state
convention at jefferson City was
greeted with as marked ENTHUSIASM as
that shown at the Kansas convention.
In fact, wherever in recent months
the opportunitysshss arisen the masses
of the Republican party have given
satisfactory evidence that they are in
sympathy with the president and in
accord with his policy. Nor are the
esteem and respect felt for Mr.. Roose-
welt limited by partisan honors. He is
distinctly the favorite of the masses,
who feel that he is their representative.
1T has been the cardinal faith of
men of broad symparhies like Lincoln
that the people could be trusted, and
that their judgment would lead them
to right conclusions. 1t will be inter
esting to note how far this trust will
be justified in the attitude of the
people toward Theodore Roosevelt.
Having the outward show of friend
ship of the Republican party leaders,
the president has really incurred the
enmity of some of the most powerful
of them because he has been stead
lastly opposed to their selfish schemes.
He has been not only the representa-
tive of the people in his efforts to
succor Cuba, but he has also taken a
stand for the masses against the
trusts. The power of those who fear
him cannot prevail against popular
love of fair play and courage. The
unanimity with which the people
have thus far given President Roose-
welt their approval is one of the hope
full signs of the times

their haying along and also take care
of their rye crop. Crops would not
suffer to any extent if there should be
no more rain until after harvest.
Small grain is not going to be the
great crop, which was expected a
month ago, or as great as they gave
promise of at that time. Potatoes,
however, give promise of great
crop, and the early ones are said to
be crowding each other out of the
ground. Corn seems to be in good
shape, and with reasonably warm
weather, of which we are sure to get a

Chicago seems to be afflicted with
strikes this season Some time ago the
teamsters engaged in strike, which
assumed large proportions, and at one
time threatened famine for that city.
Better and cooler Judgment prevailed
and the strike was settled. Now it is
in the midst of another one, in which
the freight handlers are involved, and
they have declared their intention to
fight to the better end. 1t is said that
about 1000 teamsters have violated
the agreement they recently made and
will join the freight handlers.

THE NEW STATE COMMITTEE.

The Republican state committee,
which was appointed Thursday by
Chairman Wyman, who presided over
the state convention. in conference
with members of the state ticket,
seems to be we'll rounded out, and ex-
ceptionally strong in every respect.
Most of those who comprise it are well
known all over the state, and all are
of standing in their immediate locali-
ties A number of men who nave
heretofore been connected with
the committee have retired at their
own request. Among these are Tams
Bixby, o. 81. Myran, G. s. Mitchell.
R. E. Thompson, Daniel Shell,
A. Grindel and, Eli Warner,
A. F. Ferris, Theodore
Schurmeier and Marcus johnson. This
is not because of any soreness upon
their part, but for various reasons.
But their places are taken by younger
men who have been proving them
selves equally strong in the political
affairs of the state where they have
had hand. Here are some of them
Senator Miller and ]. F. Jacobson,
are two of the most popular men in
the state, solid men like General NJ
D. Flower, b. G. Akley, Senator
Hawkins and Mile Bunnell, and
strong young men in politics like G.
@. Eastman, James A. Martin and
Howard Dykmsn.
Gustav Widell of this city was ap-
pointed to represent the sixth judicial
district upon the committee, and the
selection is good one. b. J. Miller
represents the second congressional
district at large upon the committee.
Robert Jameson is chairman of the
general committee, G. =. Whitney
secretary, and W. G. Masterman
treasurer. The executive committee
is made up as follows: James A.
Martin, chairman W. G. Masterman,
c. A. Morey, G. G. Whitney, Oscar
Hallam, Mile Bunnell and Robert
Jameson.
The committee is we'll organized
and capable of making strong cam
paign which it no doubt will do. All
interests of the party are well repre-
sented and will work together most
harmouiously for victory at the polls
in November next.
