CARDINALS MADE
NO MISTAKE

NJ MIS- lax T.
Perhaps the greatest compliment
that could be paid the new Pope is
to say that he is so broad-minded
and so cOnsecrated that he can rise
from peasant to Pope without be
ing pulled up. One OF eight children
born of peasant parents in the
town of Riese. near Venice, his
older brother, Angelo, a letter car
rier and the keeper OF small
shop in which he sells pork, and his
sisters all engaged in modest cal
lings. Giuseppe Sarto rose by his
own energy and talents to the
throne of st. Peter, to which more
than 100000 people bear
spiritual allegiance, and he is yet
the same humble, consecrated man
as when he was but a parish priest
in a Venetian village. Certainly
there is reason TO believe that the
Cardinals made no mistake in their
selection.-San Antonio Express.

MANILA HEMP AS A PROD
UCT WHICH MIGHT Be

Continued from page 81

is at once suggested that this waste
fiber might be used as paper stock
If it is not too much injured by the
Juice and pulp with which it is
mixed and if it can be economically
separated from them.
For commercial purposes the fiber
is classified into several groups ac-
cording to color, texture, and strength.
Length plays a less important part in
the commercial grades. The great
lightness, combined with strength, is
the characteristic of this fiber which
gives it it's great value. The quail
ties usually recognized are the supe-
rior, current, second, and red. Then
there ere numerous grad ations in
each of these groups. The fiber for
export is usually tied in small wisps
or hanks, and these are put up in bales
weighing two piculs (275 pounds)
'In all countries to which this fiber
is exported the greater part Of it is
used for cordage and ropes. In the
United States immense qualities are
made into binder Irvine, and because
of it's lightness, strength, and com
paTative durability it is very service
able for ships ropes and cables. From
old and disintegrated ropes our valu-
able Manila paper is made. In the
Philippines the finer qualities are used
in the manufacture of textile fabrics.
Throughout the entire Archipelago
these weavings are worn extensively
by both men and women, and when
the fiber is mixed with cotton a dur
able fabric is produced which is well
adapted to the climatic conditions of
the Islands. 1t is believed that the
demand for the better qualities of
these fabrics will increase il the
United States and Europe. A small
use is made of the fiber in upholstery,
packing and brush-making.
Enough has been said in the general
statement above to show the CONNER
cial Importance of this fiber and the
quantities which are being consumed.
1t may be that, as the wood pulp now
being used so extensively for the
cheaper grades of paper becomes more
scarce, certain qualities of the Manila
hemp may take it's place"

Playing with bee-hives is a very
harmless pastime provided there are no
bees hanging around. But add a lit
tie collection of variegated stings to
the beehive halo and things begin to
get busy. Apropos to this there is a
story about man who thought he
knew all about the general market and
could place a value on anything from
a vat of soft soap to a collection of
poetic illusions. Yet he was biased
against certain things and gave as his
reason for their. to him, worthlessness

Will Vote on Establishing Public
Library at Coming City Elec-
ton.

A numerously signed petition was
presented to the city council last Thurs
| day evening, asking that the question
OF establishing city free public library
as provided by Sec. 727, Code of Iowa,
be submitted to the voters at the COM
ing city election, and the council voted
to submit the proposition. The library
as now conducted is not city library,
although it is conducted as free Ii.
brary. The object of voting on the
question is to provide so that the town
can appropriate money for the support
of the library thus dividing the burden
OF the expense equally upon all tax
payers instead of depending upon the
donations of the literally inclined,
thus paving the way for making the
library permanent one, and fixing it
so that it will be possible to secure a
permanent home for the library. 1t
might be that Carnegie can be prevailed
upon to provide building for the Ii.
brary as he has done in so many other
towns. The section under which the
proposition will be submitted to the
voters is as follows:
SEC. 727, Public Library. Cities and
towns shall have power to provide for
the formation and maintenance of free
public library, open to the use of all
the inhabitants, under proper regula.
tons, and may purchase land and erect
buildings, or hire buildings or rooms,
suitable for that purpose, and provide
for the compensation of the necessary
employees; may receive, hold or dispose
of any and all gifts, donations, devises
and requests that may be made TO
them for the purpose of establishing,
increasing or improving any such Ii.
brary; and that the council may apply
the profits, proceeds, interest and rents
accruing therefron in such manner as
will best promote the prosperity and
utility of such library; but no money
can be appropriated for such purpose
until the electors of such city or town
shall, at general or special election,
have voted for the establishment of
such Library. re. '73, 2 461.

Will Build New Christian Church.

AS stated last week the official board
of the Christian church last week de-
cided to report to the congregation in
favor of building a new church and Sun
day evening their report was unani-
mously adopted and ratified by the
congregation. The official board met
Tuesday evening and decided that the
new edifice will be of brick, fine new
modern edihce. Steps will be taken at
once toward the adoption of plans, and
it is expected the old church which was
built in 1867 will be torn down in MAY
and new building will take its place.
The cost of the new church has not been
decided upon, but it is the opinion of
the members of the church that sub.
stantial and modern building should be
erected.

K. & w. Brakeman Killed Near Os
CeOla.

A peculiar and fatal accident resulting
in the death of James Irwin, a x. & w.
brakeman, occurred just this side of
Osceola about $50 o'clock last Saturday
evening. Conductor Lige Smith and
engineer Clifford had been ordered to
make an extra run from Van Vert to
Osceola with a train of coal, and had a
heavy train. This side of Osceola there
is heavy grade, and it was necessary
to double the hill. In order 20 get the
train up in two trips it was cut in two at
the foot of the hill without stopping and
Irwin had uncoupled the cars and was
riding on the end ladder of the first car
OF the last section. When he signalled
the engineer to pull ahead he did so
quickly and broke drawbar on the
second car from the engine This also
broke the air brake connection and the
brakes on SIX cars were set, stopping
them and the rear half of the train
ran into them. 1t being dark Irwin could
not see that the cars ahead had stopped
and he was caught and crushed between
them SO badly that he died at Osceola
Sunday morning. The deceased wat
