Sunday In England.

Few people are aware how strict
Sabbath is still legally ordained in
England The Lords day observance
act forbids not only Sunday trading,
but also every possible occupation
walking, riding, rowing or any game
and strictly enjoins upon all subjects
over nine years of age attendance at
church. At the opening of every as
size the royal proclamation for the
preservation of morality is read. Peo-
pie who are then present for the first
time are astonished to hear that the
monarch forbids and calls upon the
magistrates to punish absence from di-
vine service on Sundays, any playing
of cards or other games of chance or
haunting of public houses on the same
day. Everybody found in an inn dur
Ing service hours is liable to a fine Of
80 cents, the landlord to a penalty of
$40, and for a successful prosecution
church wardens are entitled to a re-
ward of $40. As recently as 1864 Isaac
Walton, manservant, was fined $3.50
for refusing to attend church on Sun
day when ordered there by his mis-
tress. About the same time a mother
was prosecuted by her son and actual
IL Imprisoned for not attending church.

The Philippines.

Since the conquest of the Philip
pine islands by the United States
and their appropriation into the ma
tional territory a wide interest is
manifested by the people of this
country in their history and geogra-
shy. To US the Philippines were
terra incognita until Dewey destroy
ed the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay,
May l, 1898. Spain had been in
nominal possession of these islands
for nearly 400 years but there were
some 70 tribes. and whole islands
that had never been subdued. Spain
had exploited the resources of the
islands but little during its four
centuries of occupation and but few
of the "a tribes had made great
progress in civilization. The dom
ination>over the natives was Cypress
i've rather than that of development.
The Spanish governors and subor-
dinate rulers were there to make
all the money they could squeeze
out of the industries and commerce
of the islands.
Magellan discovered the Philip
pines in 1921, landing at Batuan, on
the island of Mindinao, where he
died. Here the natives gave an ex-
hibition of their natural and heredi-
tary treachery in inviting the fol-
lowers of Magellan to banquet
and assassinating 81 of them. This
treacherous characteristic of the
most of these island tribes has been
frequently manifested from that
day to this.
The islands have been subject to
earthquakes, cyclones, the plague
and devastation of locusts. Spain
had to contend with frequent insur-
rections in Luzon, the only island
of Importance where the majority of
the people had ever been subdued
and brought to a knowledge of her
sovereignty. The most formidable
of these instructions occurred in
1867, when Aguina1do directed a
general revolution of the Taga1as.
This instruction was not suppress
ed by arms but peace was purchas-
ed, Spain agreeing to pay Aguinal-
do $4,000 as the price of inducing
the insurrectionists TO lay down
their arms.
In 1852 the English took possess
ion of Manila, holding it for two
year3-unti1 the termination of the
Seven Years War" by the treaty
of Paris.
The Moros of Mindinao and Jolo
harassed the Spaniards for practi-
cally during the whole time of their
occupation of the Philippines.
These pirates would fit out an expe-
d1L1Ou ctlId ClGcCh oOl11C LOWll III Luz
zon, plumber the people and escape
with their booty to their inland fast
nesses. The Spanish would retail
ate when possible and secure a
treaty which the Moros were never
known to keep. The Spaniards
never succeeded in subduing these
Moros.
Geographically the islands, some
1925 of which are charted, lie be-
tween parallels 4 and 20 north 1ati-
tude.
The area of the inhabited islands
is about 10000 square miles. Lu-
zon is the largest island. It's area
is 1888 square miles, about four
ffths the size of Wisconsin. The next
largest Island is Mindinao, 36,237
square miles. There are still SO
wild tribes in the islands and the
number of languages spoken is over
&c. The population Of the islands
is estimated at 100000.

Chicago. Dec. l6.-An important
meeting of interest to Epworth League
interests of the country was held In
this city today at the Methodist Book
Concerns office, room 500. 81 Washing
ton street, and there is every prospect
that by evening, or when the commit
tee adjourns, the course of study, now
bin use in the junior Epworth League
work of Iowa, will be adopted for the
work in the United States.
Those forming the special commit
tee, which was appointed to adopt
national course of study for the junior
Epworth League of the United States,
are DR.. j. f. Berry, of this city, editor
of the Epworth Herald; Mrs. Annie r..
Smiley, of Boston, Mass, international
junior superintendent; Mrs. j. G. Bris-
toll, of Dempsey Idahos for five years,
until recently, state superintendent of
junior work in Iowa; and Mrs. Robin
son, a prominent junior worker in this
city.
Iowa is the only state in the union
having q regularly outlined course of
study for juniors. The leagues of other
states use pamphlets for study, but
there has been no system followed in
the work. Members of the committee
said in recognizing the work in the
Hawkeye state, that Iowa was at least
eight years in advance Of any other
state in the union in junior work.

Stole Pail of Oysters.

Waterloo, Dec. 16.-Some time Sat-
urday night, between the hours of s and
Z, pail containing about two gallons
of standard oysters and standing in the
doorway OF the Pinkerton & Brown
grocery, was stolen. The proprietors
and clerks haven't the slightest idea as
to who the guilty party is, but If he or
she will leave the pail and dipper in the
alley near the store it will help out
some. One of the clerks says he would
not feel so bad If the party had only
permitted him to sell him crackers
enough to go with the oysters. The
streets were thronged with people Sat
urday night, and it was a bold piece of
work to take the pail from the con-
spicious place it occupied. Some one
undoubtedly fairly reveled in the lux
ury of fine bivalves yesterday, and he
will have enough to keep him supplied
in substitute for meat. for some time
to come. This is the first time the
firm has been a victim of the oyster

Des Moines, Dec. 16.-Miss Cora

bride of a rival sutton. Two licenses
were out for her marriage at the same
time. The successful sutton states
however, that Miss Joyce didn't consent

Gallagher, aged 81, was persistent In

residing at $40 Center street. Albert
Oleson. of Chicago, 'beat his time and
in sheer desperation Gallagher got the
license, secured the dispensation OF
Father Flavin and then told Miss Joyce
that inasmuch as he had gone to this
trouble she could hardly refuse longer
to marry him. At this juncture Miss
Joyce wrote to Oleson to hasten to the
scene. The license was obtained by
Gallagher on Dec. 8. On last Tuesday,
Dec. 8, Oleson arrived and fastened to
the county clerks office, where he
stated to the deputy that he had been
commissioned by Miss Joyce to ascer-
tain whether, under the circumstances,
she had to marry Gallagher. He was
informed that she was still free to mar
yr any one she chose. He reported this
to his sweetheart. There was much joy

His Attack on Business Men Of Hudson
Raised Storm of Protest.


Hudson, Dec. 16.-Rev. w. A. Welty,
church. has rendered his resignation
and hhe same has been accepted. The
pulpit Of the church will be vacant,
therefore, after Jan. /. There is little
doubt THAT the severance of the ties
which have united the pastor and his
flock was the result of what is consid-
cred an indiscrete attack by the pastor
on the business men, and especially the
firemen, last fall when arrangements
were being made for the annual field
meet. Among the amusement features
ers to the town was public ball. Mr..
Welty one Sunday made this action the
theme of discourse. in which he Wig
orously attacked the promoters of the
field day exercises. Now, it happens in
this place that the firemen and the field
day promoters were the leading bust
ness men, men who bear honorable
regulations and have been praised for
their energy, their honest dealings
their public spirit and their charitable
impulses. These men resented the UNI
reasonable and uncalled for attack and
came out In public statement in the
Record denying the sweeping immoral
disclaimer made to attach to their
course.
1t is reported that Mr. Welty viii
quit the ministry and go into some line
of secular work 1t is said he has been
offered tempting position with pict-
ure charging concern.

was dancing drunken jig and singing

how he was about to popularize the
world. The house was destitute of the
necessities of life, while the stove was
as absent of fire as the larder was of
food The officers beheld before them
a scene of restitution, neglect and
drunken brutality, almost without equal

As soon as the condition of the fam

in notifying the poor commissioner,
who took steps towards providing the
suualid little home with some of the
comforts of life. Munhalfs merrymak-

City Marshal at Laurens Found Dead
in Engine Room.

Special to Times Republican.
Laurens, Dec. ia. w. Anderson,
city marshal, was found dead in the
engine room of the city water works
Monday morning at Z o'clock. Atten-
ton was attracted to the place by the
overflow of the standpipe. e. G. Cool,
who was passing, went over to the en-
CINE house to investigate, and there
found Anderson lying face downward
on the floor of the engine room. The
dead man had scalp wound on the
forehead and badly fractured nose.
On investigation 1T was found that the
body was still warm. A post-mortem
examination was Immediately held, at
which time the doctors carefully exam
ined the injuries inflicted, but do not
believe them of nature serious enough
to have caused death. They attribute
his death to heart failure. The inquest
was held last evening, and it is not yet
known what verdict the jury will re-
turn. The doctors admit that the in
juries received by the marshal may
have caused a shock sufficient to bring
about his death.

here to the effect that he was murdered

OTTUMWA'S SCHEME

the Federal Court Thought to Have
Been Found-Every Taxpayer to Be-
come Stakeholder in Water Works
Company.
Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Dec. 16.-Every taxpayer
in ottumwa is to be made a stakeholder
Fin a water works company if the plans
now on foot in this city are carried out.
1t is said to be the second time in the
history of the United States that such
a scheme has ever been suggested.
ottumwa is beyond its debt limitation
and the city desires to build a plant that
will furnish adequate fire protection. A
test case was taken to the supreme
court as to whether a tax levy could be
made, the plea being that 1t was a pub
lie necessity.
The decision was that 1t was not
state debt and that the levy could not
be made. This in itself checkmated the
plan, but the plan is now to organize
the 10000 people into gigantic corpor-
alton, making every taxpayer stock
holder.
