When in the evening the sounds of
the Angelus should have foated out
on the silent air only the harsh beat
ing of drum told that it was the
hour for prayer.
The people longed for bell, and
as none could be cast nearer than
South America, they prepared to
send for one.
Silver for the Bell.
The silver that should give the
tone, nearly every family contribut-
ed, one teapot, another tankard,
or a platter, still others spoons.
How the silver was sent down how
the bell was cast, how it was stolen
by pirates, ransomed and sent up the
river is a story too long to tell. But
one day, when barge came up from
New Orleans, a package carefully
wrapped so as to conceal its con-
tents was brought to the house Of
Monsieur lie Cure.
The good priest with two men to
help him climbed into the steeple of
the little church, long ago made
ready, and hung the bell.
Ring, my children" he then called
out, Ring, and may Gods blessing
be on my flock"
The soft notes foated out and all
who heard them fell on their knees.
Historic Ground.
On that spot from where the bells
notes rang forth now stands the great
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, but
of all the bells that will ring in 1904
none will be sweeter than the one
which first sounded the hour of even
ing prayer.

ON HISTORIC GROUND.
ST. Louis Exposition on Site of First
Settlement.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. Ain the
misty long ago a nobleman of France
came up the Mississippi from New
Orleans. His errand was to find a
place for a trading post-a place on
the great river whence the furs which
the red man battered to the white,
might be fioated down to civilization.
Many pleasant spot he saw, but
always shook his head and said quiet
ly but firmly: 1--WE will proceed, my
friends"
On they went, past bluff and bar
and rivers mouth, until one morning
they came to a place where the land,
instead of rising abruptly or going
back for a mile in low sandy beach,
sloped gradually upwards, hundreds
Of feet.
Here they landed, the Frenchman
and his companions. They walked
to the summit of the hill. To the
east was the mighty river, it's farther
shore but a faint outline, and all
around was forest.
AS the Frenchman looked he said:
"My friends, our search is over.
Here shall be the spot-and more, for
we now stand where in coming years
shall stand a great city"
And he planted a flag there and
called the place after him who was
to the French the greatest of men,
st. Louis.

EATON FOR GOVERNOR
Gossip Has it That Governor Cum
Minis and Other Iowa Politicians
Have Agreed Upon the Former
Speaker as Candidate.

Des Moines, Jan. Occupied with
the gossip in political circles that w.
l.. Eaton of Usage, who was speaker
of the house in the Twenty-ninth gen
eral assembly, is to be pressed to the
front by his friends as candidate
for governor two years from now is
the additional hint that N. E. Kendall
of Abba, will drop out of the speaker
ship race and will be candidate for
congress in the sixth district against
Major John F. Lacey. 1t is said the
situation as far as available timber for
the governors chair is concerned, has
been pretty thoroughly gone over by
leading politicians close to Governor
Cummins, and that Mr.. Eaton has been
settled on as the most suitable candi-
date in view of his location and for
other reasons. 1t is understood the
matter was given attention at the re-
cent conference here and on the auth
GRITTY of a prominent politician and at
torney the statement is made that Ea-
ton is now regarded as the most avail
able man.
Kendall May Retire.
A persistent rumor has it that N. E..
Kendall of Abba will soon retire from
the field as a candidate for speaker,
thus leaving practically clear field
to George w. Clarke of Dallas, coun-
ty. 1t is said that the matter was
settled on at conference lately held
in this city, which was attended by
Thomas A. Way, H. W.Byers and other
leading politicians. The governor also
was present. Mr.. Kendall was here in
the course of that conference. 1t is
generally understood the purpose OF
| the conference was successful in its
purpose. 1t is believed that when the
times comes. Mr.Kendall wilfsannonuce
| his retirement from the field so TAI
as can be learned, the fact that Mr.
Kendall will leave clear field for Mr.
Clarke does not indicate any purpose
on Mr.. Kendall's part to permit him
self to become less prominent in the
politics of the Sixth district. There is
little question Mr.. Kendall will be a
| candidate for congress in 1904 to sue
coed Congressman Lacey.

Objects to Allowing Russian
Torpedo Boats to Pass
Dardanelles.
SENDS NOTE TO TURKEY
Claims That Move Is in Violation of
International Treates-If Allowed,
Great Britain Will Claim Similar
Observation-Disclosures Irritated.

Canstantinople, Jan. 6.-Great Bri-
tain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the per-
mission granted four unarmed Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers to pass
through the Dardanelles and into the
Black sea under the commercial flag
of Russia. The vessels are about to
start on the trip and the British note
says that the passage of the Dardan-
Giles by warships would be a violation
of the existing international treaties
and that if Russia allowed this privi-
lege Great Britain will reserve the
right to demand similar concession.
The protest has caused irritation in
Russian circles and concern on the
part of the Turkish authorities, who
fear the other powers will follow the
example of Great Britain.
May Agree Without Arbitration.
Berlin, Jan. 6.-The joint reply of
the powers to Castro's qualified accep-
lance of arbitration is handed to the
United States ambassadors at Berlin
today The note aims to further
smooth the way for settlement,
which may possibly be reached with
out arbitration. The powers, however,
do not abandon any OF the reserva--
lions contained in their original pro-
pOSal
