church. and the unanimous acceptance
OF the whole and undivided church

short of mathematical demonstration,

that the birth Of her son could be cele.
hrated with her knowledge and con.
sent on wrong date. If never before,
she must have spoken to st. John
after the ascension Of the night and
incidents Of the birth Of Him they
both loved so well. 1t is inconceiv.
able that ST. John could have cele.
brated the Nativity on any other than
the day Of birth. st. John had a dis
Ciple well known in history, Polycarp,
bishop Of Smyrna. He celebrated the
Nativity, and 1t Is inconceivable that
he, whose boast it was that what he
delivered he received from st. John,
could observe the Nativity on any
other than the correct date. Now,
Polycarp had disciple named Ireneus,
and lreneus claims that he delivered
the doctrines and customs as he re.
ceived them from st. Polycarp and
Others. This Ireneus was made bishop
of Lyons, and delivered to the Chris

WANTED! BADLY!
Somebody to Start Tile Factory
SOmebOdies to Take COntrdCtSI
SOmebOdieS to Do Ditch Work.

There are so few people in our city
and county who will work, who are
out of work, that contracts for ditch
construction, at paying figures, go
begging.
On a ditch sale advertised Satur-
day, there were no bidders.
One of the contractors on part of
the Red Slough Ditch having thrown
up his contract, the engineer, Mr.. ].
C. Wonders, has been endeavoring
to get parties to complete the work
offering money-making figures, but
so far has not been able to get any
one to take the Job.
Mr.. Wonders informs US that it is
impossible to get tile for ditch and
other work; that the factories have
orders away ahead of their capacity,
and work is kept back by reason of
this fact. He thinks a tile factory
at Lake View, where the clay is good
"would make good money"
Sure the times must be prosperous
when men and material cannot be
obtained to do necessary work at
good figures.

had gone to st. James, to take a
freight train to Sandusky. Crossing
the tracks at the station. he was
struck by a fast train which he had
not observed coming. The train was
slowed up, and he was taken on to
Gallon, whence word was telegraphed
to his son, Mr.. w. L. Mckee, of our
city, who took the first train to Gal

foutaine. He is now at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Rose Robb, on Sun-

had done everything possible for the
wounded man, but he was still deliri-

This is the second accident in this
family, as, it will be remembered, a
son, Mr.. Fred. Mckee, was killed on
the railroad some years ago.

ANDREW BELL
Writes an Interesting Letter From
UnlOnvillc. Iowa.
KNOXVILLE, Iowa,

UNIoNvILLE, Iowa,
June 10. 1908.
THE BEI.LEFoNTAINE REPUBLICAN:
Thought letter from the Hawk
eye State might be of interest to the
readers of the REPUBLICAN. Iowa is
a rich agricultural State, one of its
great source of wealth being her cat
tie.
Secretary Wilson, while passing
through the State, congratulated the
Iowans on their great advantages for
stock raising. He states that he
never saw the pastures in better con-
dition; he also thinks that half of
each farm should be in pasture.
Corn planting has been delayed by
the wet weather; some are still plant
ing. In portions of the State the
corn crop is almost ruined by the
downpour of rain. The flood did
great damage to Ottumwa and Eldon.
The bridges at Ottumwa are both
impossible for trains and wagons.
Trains were stopped for over a
week on most all the roads in this
State, Nebraska, Kansas and Mis-
souri,. There were 72 hours in which
all the mail that reached DesMoines,
was brought in on the Chicago North
Western R. r. The DesMoines river
passed the "a foot mark. height
greater than reached by the food of

days. 1t is estimated 5000 we're left
homeless and over a 81, 900, 900 prop
erty was lost by the great food
throughout the west.
The flood made Iowa larger State:
the DesMoines river changed its chan
mel adding portion to Iowa, Is miles
from Ottumwa. Last winter we did
not suffer from the effect of the coal
famine. This country is well sup.
piled with coal and wood. Monroe
and Appanosse counties have several
coal mines.
