DEATH OF POPE LEO.

The death of Pope Leo which
occurred in Rome this week re-
moves one of the greatest of all
modern men. Pope Leo has
reigned continuously during the
memory of most people who will
or have read of his death, so that
he was a parsonage of the pres
ent day, and those now on earth
can intelligently pass Judgment
upon his qualities. AS the head
of the Roman Catholic Church
he has been adored by his people
throughout the world, who be-
lieved him all that was good.
AS one of the greatest factors in
the affairs of the world it is not
overdraWing it any to say that
none of his predecessors have
held a greater respect and es
TEEN among all classes of people
outside the dominion of his
Church than Leo. He was truly
a great, generous and noble
man, and everywhere through
out the world the news of his
death has been received with
sorrow. With the death of Pope
Leo, Queen Victoria and Presi-
dent Mckinley there rema in
in the world none except per-
haps the Gar of Russia and tie
Emperor of Germany to occupy
those great prominent positions
in the eyes of the people of all
nations which these five enjoyed.
Mckinley went to a tragic grave,
leaving a place in the hearts of
his countrymen that will ever
endure. Queen Victoria, as the
head of the British Empire, was
perhaps the most popular sover-
eign who ever reigned in her coun-
try. She stood in the same rela-
ton to hersubjects as did Leo to
the people of his Church. None
were ever more greatly loved
than these two, and now that
they have gone they have left
with the world memories of two
lives that were exemplary in
everything, and their patience
and goodness will live in the
hearts of men down through the
ages.

THE EDITORS AT SUPERIOR.

ISOLATION certainly had the rlght
idea when he took the editors of
the Northern Wisconsin Press
Association to West Superior for
their annual meeting last week.
Superior is the second city IN
Wisconsin in point of population,
but in the point of hospitality
and other good things it certain
ly stands at the head of the list.
There was nothing left undone
by the Commercial Club of the
city; the newspaper people, or
any of the citizens that could add
to the comfort and enjoyment of
the visitors. The association
called to order at two o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon and a good
ly mum Der of editors and their
ladies were marked present.
After short session the Super
Tor Committee took the visitors
in charge and a boat ride about
the harbor on the Steamer News
boy was had. A big circle about
the bay gave the editors a
glimpse at all the great ship
ping interests and facilities of
the cities of Superior and Dull
nth, and especially was surprise
manifested at the extent of these
institutions by those on board
who were most familiar with the
workings of handling big ship
ments by water. The head of
the lakes has certainly been
making rapid strides in the de-
velopment of their water front,
and the shipments annually ham
died at this point are something
too enormous for ordinary COM
prehension. After the boat ride
a very pretty seven course meal
was served at the Hotel Euclid.
Thursday was busy day with
the editors and some very in
teresting topics were discussed.
In the forenoon two addresses
of exceptional interest were
given, one by Colonel Wilkinson,
of ST. Paul upon the relations OF
the railroads and newspaper
men. and the other by Honorable
G. E. Vandercook, of the Mil
Waukee Sentinel staff. Mr..
Vandercook has spent several
months in the south during the
past year, and has made study
Of the race problem. His dis
cussion OF that old, old story,
was made in a manner entirely
along original lines, and it is
n ore than probable that every
one present learned more about
the great question in the half
hour S talk of Mr.. Vandercook
than they had ever known be-
fore. The question of ready
print house and a mutual CO.
operative insurance company
for newsp; per publishers came
up for discussion, and there was
a plan submitted for cooperative
work in booming northern Wis
consin by editor Lowe, of Cen
turia. All of these plans are in
charge of members of the Assoc
citation, and some of them will
likely be matured under the di-
rection of the ganlzation.
Thursday evening there was
most delightful reception held
at the Commercial Club, and if
anything was lacking to demon
strate the abilities of Vest
Superior people as princes in
the shape of hosts it was sup
piled at this session. Honora-
BILE John T. Murphy, publisher
of the Telegram, act d as master
of ceremonies, and there were
pleasing addresses made by a
number present. Mayor
O'Hare, in a graceful speech,
welcomed the editorial fraterni-
ty to the city, and President

Mud as Fuel.

Edward Atkinson. of Boston. who
has in his long and useful life discov-
cred several things of advantage to
his fellOw-men, believes he has found
cheaper substitute for anthracite
coal. for many purposes at least. As
the result of practical experiments he
declares that swamp mud of almost
every kind will burn freely when
properly prepared. He points out
that the black mud. or grass peat, on
the Dismal Swamp of Virginia, the
Florida Everglades. the rice swamps
of Georgia and the big lagoOns of the
south is practically limitless.
Mr.. Atkinson. as the result of his
experiments, asserts that the bone
dry mud of New England bog will
yield at least 65 per cent as much heat
as the best anthra cite-and its cost
of course, would be proportionately
far less.
There is no good reason why Mr.
AtkinsOn's statements should be gain
said. Briquettes made of mud turf
are consumed by millions of tons an.
nually in Germany, alike for industrial
and domestic purposes.
Mud as fuel is a new proposition in
this country. but so was coal a cen
fury ago. If it is demonstrated that
mud will prove n substitute for an
thracite, the coal trust will have tC
absorb all the swamps or throw NJ
the sponge.

Cause OfLockJaw.

Locljaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive as
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in wounds
caused by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is excluded the
germ is aroused to activity and pro-
duces the most virulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed and
all danger of lockjaw avoided by APP
plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm free
ly as soon as the injury is received.
Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes
cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal
without maturation and in one-third
the time required by the usual treat
ment. 1t is for sale by all druggists.

The Indiana Sentinel says: The
suggestion that if the state of Pan
anna should revolt on the canal ques-
ton the United States would give its
aid and comfort in order to secure
good terms for the canal should not
be entertained for moment. We
want the canal, but we cannot afford
to obtain it at the cost of sacrificing
national honor or playing PREACHER
Gus part toward weak state. This
government is under every obligation
of international honor to maintain a
friendly attitude toward Colombia. no
matter what may be the outcome of
the canal treaty.

Banker DisapprOves Of Asset Cur.
rency.

William A. Nash, president of the
Corn Exchange bank of New York
City, attacks the asset currency
scheme in an article in the current
number of the North American Re
view. He regards the plan as unwise
because it would be transferring in
fiation that has only this summer
been squeezed out of industrials, to
bank security. This would be danger
Gus. he says, because while the elm
ination of imitation has been done
well. it could not be accomplished in
the case of bank assets without a fl
naneial panic.
The increase in the per capita cir
cu,ation from $21.1O in 1896 to $1,000
in 1908 served to keep interest rates
down. That they have not been high
during the last four or five years
proves to him 1.-The adequacy of the
present supply for all Legitimate and
conservative enterprises and opera
tions stamps the demand for asset
currency as unnecessary" Regarding

The republicans of Iowa admit that
Gov. Cummins may lose some votes
among the stand-patters, but they
think the loss will he partially made
up by gains among the independents
and conservative democrats. 1t is
easy to see why the tariff extremists
should dislike Cummins even after his
crawl, but it is hard to tell why any
refOrmers or conservative democrats
should be attracted to a man who is
with them at heart. but is afraid to
stand by his convictions.

the continuing decline in securities,
Mr.. Nash says:
I'm the perfectly proper liquidations
which we have witnessed this year,
and which have been conducted on
lines of the highest ability and fnan-
cial strength, the question of money
has played but a small part in the
drama. At no time has the supply
been insufficient; at no time have the
rates been eXacting or high. The per-
fectly natural recession from high
and inflated situation has been ac-
complished with n dignity and an eX-
hibition of inherent strength in mark
ed contrast to any other panic which
has preceded it.
The events of 1903 are an object
lesson in currency matters that, to
my mind. stamps asset currency as
something not to be desired by the
conservative. because tending. if adOp-
ted, to create an era of initiation from
which dignified retirement would be
impossible and to invite a financial
collapse"
Mr.. Nash points out some very
grave objections to asset currency.
That there would be imitation of the
favored assets will hardly be denied
and that this imitation would prove
disastrous one day. just as the squeez-
ing out process in the stock market
has proven disastrous to many, can
not be gainsaid. As the Dubuque Tel
egraph Herald argues, fictitious value
in bank assets must he guarded
against if we are to maintain a stable
currency

TO CATARRH SUFFERERS
HyOmeI Guaranteed TO Cure by t. ii.
Thomas or Money Refunded.

HyOmeI Guaranteed TO Cure by T. H.
Thomas or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
mails of medicine Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remark
able remedy that the proprietors have
authorized II. II. Thomas to sell every
package of Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee that it will cure catarrh.
If il does not. the purchaser can have
his money refunded by T. II. Thomas.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs. en-
riches and purifies the blood with adj
ditional ozone, and makes permanent
and complete cures of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81. and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket q
medicine dropper and n bottle of Hy-
Omei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime and
if one bottle does not cure. an extra
bottle of HyOmei can be obtained for
50 cents. 1T is the most economical
of all remedies advertised for the cure
of catarrh. and is the only one that
follows nature in her method of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory or
gans.
Breathe through the inhaler for a
few minutes four times day and
your catarrh is cured. That's all
If not cured T. IT. Thomas will re-
fund your money.
