Wind Up Its Affairs
 At meeting of the Master Plumb CTS association in it's rooms on Bank street last night a committee was ap- pointed to fix up the affairs of the as- soc1atlon. preliminary to it's disband- menT: The dtsbanding of the union is said to have been under consideration TOT some time, and there are several reasons The principal one, perhaps. is the fact that several plumbing con- cerns Ill this city do not belong to the union. They have been charging less prices for contract work than the men- Gers Of the association and conse- quently the latter have lost many val uable contracts. A cut in prices of plumbing work may now be expected. 1T is said that the members of the as- sociation are out for the scaIps of those plumbers who withdrew from the union and have been underbidding them They intend to show those plumbers that they are not he only per sons who know how to cut prices. It Is said that when these plumbers. wiIo have not belonged to the union. or had withdrawn. realize that there is a wan. on prices that they will be glad to form another association. X man. who is in position to know. stated to-day that the cause Of all the trouble was the fact that by the system which pre- vailed in the plumbing association some Of the smaller plumbing associa- lions were able to secure valuable con tracts Some of the larger concerns did not ike this and withdrew from the as sociation. They. were acquainted with the prices charged by the members of the association and were able to under bid them.

M arenao.

Marengo, July S.-The saloon men
in this city have resumed business
again. They base their rights to open
on the fact that the supreme court
held that Judge Wade's decisions in
the several matters in which they
were involved was void from the fact
that he made his decisions when there
was no court in session in the district
thus leaving the matter stand just
as 1t stood when the case was appeal
ed to the supreme court. The anti-sa-
loon men have entered new plea and
what the outcome will be no man
knows. Should the judge decide
against the saloon men again, of
course Marengo will experience anoth-
er drouth, but whether it will be for
ever and a day will have to be decided
by an entirely new petition of the
qualified voters of the county, of which
it will take 65 per cent straight, to de-
termine whether the saloon in Iowa
county stays, or goes.

Judge Hendershott was admitted to

of the pioneer settlers of Wapello
county. For almost fifty years the
eminent jurist was prominently identi-
fed in state, county and city politics,
having served in the state senate, as
judge of the district court, and for a
number of years as mayor of this city.
For the last few years prior to his
death, which occurred on August TO-,
1900, he led retired life.
Attorney George May came to this
city in 1S45. He practiced law in this
city for three years, leaving for the
west in 1S4S Nothing is known as to
where he located after leaving this
city.

sented to him by members of the par
ish, Rev. Father John A. Glenn cele-
brated high mass at ST. Patrick's Cath
Ollie church, South Ottumwa, yesterday
morning.
The young priest was the recipient
of an alb and surplice together with

the gifts Of Mrs. Thomas Gibbons and
Thomas Garvin, the latter making the
presentation speech in the name of the
congregation. Father Glenn respond
ed in a happy manner and Father
O'Farrell, pastor of st. Patrick's
church preached the sermon on "The
Office and Work of the Priest" taking
for his text 'The Lord is the portion
of my inheritance and my cup
Father C'Farrell said in part:
This was the declaration of Holy
David. Almighty God was to be his
estate, his inheritance and his all dur
ing his temporal life. And so 1t is with
the young LeWte. From the frst step
taken by him to enter the sanctuary
of God he is taught every day of his
life to repeat these words of Holy
David. He is made to feel that God
alone is to be his inheritance and his
fortune during his ministerial career.
God calls him to the ministry, not only
before his birth, but fnom eternity.
Deyout parents offered him when yet
in his cradle. In youth he was taken
away and placed at school in the
shadow of the sanctuary so that he
might grow up into the light, expected
Of him by the church. The church be-
fore accepting him had his vocation
manifested and proved by long years
ttof trial. Il And when accepted and al
lowed to enter the sanctuary he was
compelled to make his life choice in

presence of official witnesses. The
consecrating bishop warned him that
If he did not feel himself able to carry
the burdens of the priesthood and to
lead the life of privation expected of
him, he was yet free to re-enter the
world. Accepting the call he prostrat-
ed himself on his face before the God
OF the tabernacle and vowed himself
to life of purity. Then the host and
chalice were given to him and power
conferred upon him to offer sacrifice
and consecrate the body of the Lord.
The bishop also, in the name of the
church, gave to him the right to for
give sins. In order that he might be
the better fitted for his holy work his
hands were consecrated with holy oil
so that henceforth they might be rails
ed up in prayer and blessing and bene-
diction for the honor of God and the
good of the people.

as another Christ. ascends the new
Calvary and on this feast of the Most

In the second part Father O'Farrell
spoke of the work of the priest repre-
senting Father Glenn as now going out
to take up the actual work of the min
istry. Like another Moses he will stand
between the people and an angry God.
He will meet the infant at the door
of the church and his ingredara will
give the child an official right to a
place in the house of God He will
kneel by the bedside of the dying and
his egredere will order the soul to
leave the world and go into eternity
AT his ordination he received a
three-fold mandate: The consecrat-
ing bishop said to him, in the world
of Christ: 'This is my body, do this
in commemoration of Me-" Luke %:

in the words and in the name of
Chsist, saying: Whose sins you shall
forgive, they are forgiven" John 20:
%. Again the bishop said to him:
Feed My lambs; feed My Sheep"
John 81; 1917.
Father OFarrell further said:
"And, now, whether the life of Faith
err Glenn be long or short, his daily
duty will be to celebrate mass, to alb
solve from sin and say the prayers of
the church for all men. He will set
the feet of the forgiven to the Heaven

| At the close of the sermon Father
O'Farrell felicitated Father Glenn and
wished him many years in the minis

PASSES AWAY
Birthplace of Jurst Being Torn
Down.

Down.
The house where Henry Clay Cald-
well, judge of the United States circuit
court, was born, is being torn down.
Its demolition began this week. The
building is located on what is known
as the Caldwell farm in Davis and Wa
pello county near the Van Buren, coun-
ty line. Judge Caldwell is cousin of
Mrs. N. L. Arrison, Fairview; Mrs.
Clara A. Graves, 463 West Second
street; Mrs. Blanche E. Campbell, 1904
West Second street, and Van Caldwell,
who resides on the same street, near
the city limits.
Concerning the passing of the land
mark and of the building in which a
Jurist was born, the Keosauqua Re-
publican says:
This week Mrs. w. G. PARROT of
Keosauqua will commence tearing
down the old log residence on what is
known as the Caldwell farm, lying in
Davis and Wapello counties, a short
distance west of the Van Buren, county
line, and fine two story residence
will be erected thereon. Mrs. PARROT
is now owner of this large farm. The
log house which will be torn down was
the boyhood home Of Judge Henry
Clay Caldwell, and he helped to do
some of the work in it's building. The
pins that hold down the flooring of
this cabin We're made and driven into
their fastenings by the Judge, and
these pins Mrs. PARROT has instructed
Walter Henton, the carpenter who has
the contract to erect the new residence
to preserve. Judge Caldwell left this
pioneer home when about 10 years of
age, walking from there to Keosauqua
the day he entered, as a student, the
law Office of the, late Judge George G.
Wright, from Which he went into the
practice of law some years later as a
partner Of Judge Wright, remaining
resident Of Keosauqua until the en-
listed and went south as an officer of
| the Third Iowa Cavalry in the sum
mer of 1861. Some of the floor pines
mentioned Mrs. PARROT will present to
the Judge, when he again visits Keo-
sauqua, and some she will keep as
mementoes of the cabin home of this
distinguished citizen and lifelong
| friend of her father, the late Edwin
Manning"
