committed and murmurs OF discomfort
began to be heard.
The next piece Of vicious legislation
which appealed TO the people as entirely
wrong was the passage OF the Newport
police commission act in 1901 against the
desire OF the citizens OF that city, and
contrary to the traditional views OF the
people OF Rhode Island.
In no state has the right Of home rule
been so much insisted upon as In Rhode
Island from the foundation of the state.
The original town meeting was the first
examples OF home rule and the state
sprung from the towns and not the towns
from the state.
POLICE COMMISSION BILL.
The greatest blunder made by the Re-
publcans was the passage OF the Provi-
dence police commission bill at the ad-
journed session OF the Legislature last
fall, and after the election had taken
place. This attracted the attention of the
thinking voters and aroused their indig-
nation as well. the doctor said. and the
great meeting al Infantry hall served to
show to what depths the people had been
stirred.
The activity OF the Democrats In the
general assembly last winter in bringing
these facts before the people also had
much to do with the final end. The
Tiverton police commission bill was
characterized as anothtr example of what
the Republican assembly was up to-

Iowa County Sunday School
Work.

We are in receipt of a circular let
ter sent out by the officers of the Iowa
County Sunday School Association
to the Sunday Schools, which goes to
show that this county is getting to the
front in Sunday School work.
From the statistics gathered by Sec.
Fred L. Cork and printed on the op-
posite side of the letter paper, we find
there are are in the county "a Sunday
Schools, 1922 scholars, with an aver
age attendance of 1856, with 2O3 Off
GERS and 352 teachers.
We understand that this is the first
attempt to tabulate and publish the
Sunday School statistics of the entire
county, and it furnishes all who are
interested in this work with facts that
are very desirable.
One thing we are very much i'm
pressed with, and that is the amount
of work that is gratuitously given by
the 203 officers and 352 teachers of
Iowa County Sunday Schools. I'm
ceasingly fifty-two times a year, with
out any financial reward, often ex-
pending their means for helps in pre-
paration for their work, they give
their best energies and talents for the
upbuilding of pure and upright char
acter in the minds of the rising gener-
alton.
Weak and erring as SO many are
even with the teachings of this effici
ent corps Of Sunday School workers,
what would be the condition of Iowa
county, and the entire country, if the
great army of Sunday School teach
ers should cease teaching in Bible
schools and, religious training were
left to the Indifference of the home?
To do missionary work in needy
portions of Iowa county, S125 is need

The Southern Wisconsin
Teachers ASsociat;o,

association
is very fortunate this year in the se-
lection of its place of meetino, Two
years ago the meeting was held at
Racine, at the extreme eastern part of
the state. Last year the meetinc was
held at Platteville, in the extreme
western part of the state. This wear
it is to be held at Monroe, which will
be central for every teacher. The
people of Monroe are very enthusiasts
ic over the meeting. They are Amino
to excel all previous Associations in
local arrangements. The very hest
homes will be open to receive the lady
teachers free of charge. Besides the
general meeting there will be a school
board section, a High School section
and graded section especially
adapted to teachers in the district
schools and the intermediate grades.
The attractions provided this wear
are of an unusual nature. The lead
ing attraction will be the evening lee
ture by Mr.. Ebert Hubbard. of the
Royoroft Shops, East Aurora. New
York. He is the editor of The Phil
listine, and the author of THE Mes
sage to Garcia" and Little Jour
neys." He is man much sought
after as a lecturer in the eastern
states, and his lecture alone will be
worth the cost of attendance. In ad-
dition to the free entertainment men
toned above the railroads will give
rates to all members of the associa-
tion. Further particulars and COM
plete program will be given in later

HILL ABOUT TO RETIRE.
Magnate's Son Will Become President
of Great Northern.

St. Paul, May Sit is learned from
an authoritative source that the long
loOked-for retirement of James J. Hill
from the presidency of the Great
Northern will take place not later than
July 1, the close Of the present fiscal
year. He will then devote his time and
attention to affairs of the merger CON-
pany as long as it may last.
From the same authority comes the
news that he will be succeeded as pres
ident of the Great Northern by his son,
Louis w. Hill, who was president of
the Eastern Minnesota up to May 1,
when that property was absorbed by
the Great Northern.
Last fall the latter was also ap-
pointed assistant to his father in the
presidency of the Great Northern.
This, it is said now, was done in order
that he might receive proper instruc-
tion for the presidency which is to
come this summer and that he may
step into that position with a broad
conception of it's duties.

KING EDWARDS BIRTHDAY.
Celebration Of the Event General in
Great Britain.

London, May 31.-The birthday of
King Edward, who was born Nov. 9,
1S41, was officially celebrated Friday,
it having been decided, as announced
in The Official Gazette April Is, that
his majesty's natal day was to be cele-
brated in London and on the stations
May 80, as being the most suitable
time for a military display. On the
ether hand foreign stations will cele-
brate it Nov. 9, the actual anniversary
of his majestys birth.
General interest in the celebration
was apparently not seriously diminish
ed by the expectations of the greater
series of events surrounding the coro-
nation. The towns throughout the
kingdom were gaily decorated and the
shipping at the various ports made the
gayest displays of bunting The chief
celebration was the ceremony of
'trooping the colors" on the Horse
Guards parade here and the presenta-
tion of colors to the new Irish guards.
Stands covered with crimson cloth
were erected on three sides of the pa
rade ground and were occupied by
thousands of privileged spectators.
Thousands of other persons were
grouped closely around the lines of
sentries. His majesty. who rode be-
tween the Prince of Wales and the
Duke of Connaught. wore the uniform
of colonel of the Irish guards Lord
Roberts, the commander-in-chief of the
forces, who led the procession, also
wore the uniform of colonel of the
Irish. guards. Queen Alexandra and
other members of the royal family
viewed the parade from the windows
of the Horse Guards.
After an inspection of the line of
troops and the presentation of the
colors the ceremonies ended with re-
view of all the troops on the ground.

Of THE LOWEST TYPE
Immigrants Arriving at the Port Of
New York are Mainly From
Southern Europe.
Total Arrivals for May Foot Up Over
$4,000, Which Breaks Previous
-n- Records.
Industrial Stagnation in Europe the
Reason for the Influx of
Immigration.

New York, May 31.-Immigration is
now at the highest point in the his
tory of the country and the average of
the class of people coming here is re-
garded by some of the officials as the
lowest. i5~
Counting the immigrants on board
steamships due to arrive during the
day, the immigration for the month
will reach the record-breaking total of
SS,5OO In May of 1893, the previous
record breaking month, $4,000 people
came into the country in the steerage
of the Atlantic liners. S&c
The bulk of the immigrants are from
Southern and Southeastern Europe.
immigration from Ireland, Germany,
Norway, Sweden and Denmark has
fallen off greatly. In former years i'm
migrants from these countries predom-
mated. Seventy per cent of the i'm
migrants now coming in are from Rus
sia, Austria-Hungary and Italy. Most
of these are nOn-producers.
The immigration authorities say the
great rush of aliens is due to the COM
| mercial prosperity of this country and
industrial stagnation in nearly every
European country.

Washington, May 31.-Decoration
day. was observed here perhaps more
generally than ever before. The an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
would deliver the oration at Arlington
brought to that historic cemetery a
vast concourse of people, among whom
were thousands of veterans. The local
arrangements were in charge of the
Department of the Potomac, and in
cluded parade of all the G.. A. R. and
other patriotic organizations, the dec
oration of monuments and graves and
addresses by men prominent in the af-
fairs of the government. g.
At Arlington, where the principal
exercises were held, a national salute
was fired at 12 o'clock by the Fourth
battery, United States field artillery
Music was rendered by the Marine
band and blythe memorial choir. Upon
arriving at Arlington the procession
marched to the tomb of the unknown
dead. During the decoration of the
tomb, by the special committee chosen
from the different G.. A. R. organiza-
tions and auxiliary societies, the Ma
rine band played an appropriate selec-
tion. The procession then broke up
and the decoration Of graves began.
A touching feature of the work of dec
Grafton was the strewing Of flowers
over the graves of the Confederate
dead who lie buried in a section of the
cemetery.
In the meantime vast crowd had
assembled at the amphitheater, where
the services were conducted. The ia
miliar strains of Nearer, My God, to
Thee" by the Marine band, marked the
beginning of the services. President
Roosevelt's arrival was the signal for
an outburst of applause.
After the invocation and the rendi-
tion of several numbers by the band
and choir Mr.. 3. B. Hay read Lin
coins Gettysburg address. President
Roosevelt followed, and his remarks
were given the closest attention and he
was frequently interrupted by bursts
of applause.
General Ell Torrance, command
chief of the G.. A. R., followed the pres
ident with few remarks and then the
services were brought to a close with

LIBERALS AGAIN VICTORIOUS.
Result of Elections to the Ontario
Legislature.

Legislature.
e Toronto, Ont, May 31.-The general
election of members to the Ontario
legislature, which took place Thurs
day, resulted in a return to power of
the Ross Liberal government. At 10
o'clock the figures stood: Fifty-one
Liberals, 46 Conservatives, with one
place to hear from which will proba-
bly, elect a supporter of the govern
ment, giving the government, in a full
house, a majority of 6.
No great issues were at stake, but
the Liberals have been in power for
30 years and the Conservatives declar-
ed the government was corrupt and
one of their election cries was: ut is
time for a change"
The Liberals are led by the pre-
mier, the Hon. George w. Ross, and
the Conservative leader was Mr.. James
P. Whitney.
The development of New Ontario
was probably the most important
plank in the policy of both parties and
one on which both were agreed, al
though differing in the manner in
which it should be carried out.
All the cabinet ministers in the Ross
government were reelected.

STRIKE ON HILL ROADS
Rumored that Strike of Gigantic Pro-
portions is Threatened on the
Hill Roads.
Employees Demand an Increase in
Wages, Shorter Hours and Several
Other Changes.
Officials Ask Uutil June 10th to Consider
the Question and Make Reply
to Men,

Minneapolis, May 31.-A Times spe-
ial from Des Moines says:
Through the overtures made to a
noted labor organizer temporarily in
This city, information has leaked out
Of threatened strike of gigantic pro-
portions on. the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and all lines operated by
James ]. Hill.
Demands are said to have been for
mulated by the employees for a 20 per
cent advance in wages, shorter hours,
double pay for overtime, abolition OF
blacklisting and age limits and num-
erous other changes.
1t appears that the employees in all
branches of the service of the Hill
lines have effected powerful organi-
zation.
Their committee, it is said, ap-
preached the railway officials Tuesday
and received rebuff. This committee
made it's first call on the management
of the two roads last Tuesday and was
met curtly, little consideration being
given to the members presence.
Later in the day the committee again
called for an answer, but again was
treated curtly. The members then
stated that if by p. m. an answer was
not given they would return home and
would tie up every machinery depart
ment on the road.
Before the time limit expired, it is
said, the committee was met at its
Motel in St. Paul by a distinguished
body of the officials of the road. In
the party, it is said, were a general
manager, master mechanic, general
attorney and some official of lesser
| rank.
After talking over the situation, it is
| asserted, the railroad chiefs made
| apology for the treatment accorded
| the committee earlier in the day ant
| asked until June 10 in which to give ar
answer. This is the situation at tbs
present ime.

RESPONSIBLE FOR A MURDER.
Terrible Sequel to the AcquttaI of Nc.
Fetrdse at Chicago.

Chicago, May 31.-The verdict in the
McFetridge murder trial was RESPONSE
BILE for murder which occurred short
ly after midnight. A party of McFet-
ridges friends called at his house dur
ing the evening to congratulate him
upon his acquittal, and, after arranging
with him for a dinner on Saturday ev-
ening, at which his liberation was to
be celebrated, left his house. While
walking down the street the men who
had just left McFetridge, among whom
was Walter Nolan, prize fighter, met
John and Robert Warke, the latter a
one-armed railroad fagman. When
called upon to cheer for McFetridge,
the Warke brothers passed on without
replying. Nolan thereupon struck
Robert Warke in the face. The recipi-
ent of the blow turned upon the prize
fighter, but was struck down with a.
club and died in a few moments. No
Ian and his party were arrested.
McFetridge. who was tried for the
murder of his brother, was acquitted
in the face of the strongest evidence,
and the jury was severely censured by
the Judge.

FLOODS IN OKLAHOMA.
TWO Lives Lost and Much Damage
Done by Washouts.

Guthrie, O. T., May 31.-Residents
Of Woodward report Santa Fe bridges
over both the North Canadian and
South Canadian rivers washed out and
the city isolated. This is on the Pan
Handle division. Six hundred feet of
the South Canadian bridge are gone
and all the wagon bridges over the
Cimarron in it's route of over 200 miles
through Oklahoma. Rivers are again
rising on account of the rains. In the
city of Woodward the water stood two
feet deep in the streets as the result
of waterspout in the hills near there.
Reports of additional damages are
coming in from all portions of the ter
ritory. Mrs. Wilcher and son were
drowned in Tiger creek, near Pokins.
