the creation of the delegation was in
doubt the discreet but frank interven-
ton of Mgr. O'Connell largely helped
to determine the papal decision. Ger
tain American prelates and Italian
cardinals who were bitterly antagonis-
tic to the appointment of the delega-
tion could not forgive him for his atti-
tude in the matter and a favorable
pretense occurring some time later,
through their influence Mgr. O'Connell
was deprived of his Office and tempo
rarily forced into the innocuous desue-
tude from which his proved piety, his
character and the assistance of his
friends have at last rescued him.
Mgr. O'Connell is personally ac-
quainted with almost every man promi-
nent in Europe for ability in the world
of letters, and has maintained con-
slant correspondence with the heads of
the great universities. He is man of
great personal magnetism, but not a
great preacher. His voice and delivery
in the pulpit are bad, and detract from
the simplicity and erudition of his dis
courses. He has, however, the faculty
of clothing great ideas in such simple
language that child may understand
the meaning.
His advent to the Catholic university
is hailed as certain sign that the in
stitution will be lifted to high rank
He is not averse to association with
men who dissent from his religious
views, and, as he is well equipped in
general scholarship, it is expected that
the great body of savants connected
with the government will be naturally
attracted to closer intimacy with the
Catholic university.
Mgr. O'Connell was born in Columbia,
S. c., and is member of one of the
most prominent southern Catholic fam
flies. Three of his uncles were respec-
lively the president and professor of
Hebrew and the vice president of the
University of Columbia. Mgr. O'Con-
nell received his education at St..
Charles college, Ellicott City, Nd, and
after graduation was sent to Rome,
where he left the American college
with the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
He was ordained priest in the Church
of st. John Lateran, at Rome.

PROMOTED BY POPE.
Mgr. O'Connell Made Rector of
Catholic University.
Was In Retirement for Eight Years,
Dut Ii Again High In Favor with
His Holiness and the
Propaganda.

The appointment of Mgr. Dennis
o'Connell to the rectorship of the Cath
Ollie university at Washington will
bring back into prominence man who
for the past eight years had, through
the once powerful influence of certain
American prelates, backed by that of
stin more powerful dignitaries in
Rome, been in retirement.
In 1883 Mgr. (then Father) O'Connell
was Cardinal Tor rather Archbishop
Gibbons private secretary. He ac-
companied the archbishop to Rome on
the occasion of the memorable council
of the American episcopate which had
been summoned by the propaganda at
the pope's order. Soon after he was
intrusted with the responsible position
of rector of the American college, in
the Via Umilta, where until 1893 or
1894 he was an active, albeit not an OBJ
trusive, factor in the great struggles
between the advanced and the conser-
vative parties in the church. Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland hon
ored him with their confidence, and in
their absence he was generally recog-
nized, both at the vatican and the prop
uganda, as their interpreter, if not &C.
tually their representative.
Circumstances at that stage of his
career unfortunately compelled Mgr.
O'Connell more than once, and at cru
cial moments in ecclesiastical politics,
to incur the disfavor of the advocates
of Cahenslyism and the opponents of
the views then identified with Arch
bishop Ireland.
Thanks to his prudence, intelligence
and skill, Mgr. O'Connell gradually
rose in the good graces of the pope, to
whom he had the privilege of free ac-
cess, and was repeatedly consulted on
matters of the most vital interest to the
church in America.
1t is fact not known beyond the
inner circles of Catholicism, says the
New York World, that at a time when

cheering by hewing with an ak path
ways for the men who handled the in
struments. And rumor from Wash
ington says he may be the one chosen
to lead the work in completing the
great Panama canal. His name is
now before President Roosevelt for
membership on the Panama commits
sion and wholly without any solicita-
ton on the part of Mr.. Randolph or of
his friends, it is reported that Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin, is working in
his behalf.
In telling of his early experiences
last night Mr.. Randolph said: while
/ am free to admit that my first work
in the line of engineering was done with
an ak, yet never expected to cut cash
across the state of Illinois"
Mr.. Randolph took charge of thecon-
struction of the canal in 1892, when
ground was first broken in VIII coun-
ty. 1t was he who, on the night of Jan.
II, 1900, led party to the gates at
Lockport and let the water through
from the lake for the first time to head
off an injunction which he learned was
to be asked of the supreme court at
Washington by ST. Louis the following
morning. After a long delay the water
was finally turned on just Is minutes
before the injunction was applied for.
Before becoming identified with the
drainage canal Mr.. Randolph was con-
nected with railroads.

July 20, 1853, in Oswego township, Ken

south of Aurora, Ill. His early boyhood
was spent at the home of his parents in
Kendall county, and when they re-
moved to De Kalb, in 1865, he went with
them. Some time after, at the age of
16, he entered the newspaper business
as editor of the Kendall County News.

Selected to Finish the Great
Panama Canal.

Isham Randolph, the chief engineer
of the Chicago sanitary district, whose
skill directed the work of building the
drainage canal, is a self-made engi-
neer. To use his own term he "broke
into the engineering ranks something
like 80 years ago with an AK" Engi-
neers admit that there is scarcely feat
of engineering in the world which
eclipses Chicago's drainage ditch. The
Suez canal is not so great, and when
the Panama channel is completed it
alone will exceed in magnitude the
great waterway which connects Lake
Michigan hthe Mississippi river.
Yet this work was done by a man
who learned the rudiments of civil en-

Convincing proof of the ownership OF
the famous "section 80" iron ore land
was filed at the local land office at Du.
luth. 1t is the original Valentine scrip
to the land, and removes all doubt as
to the ownership of the land.
A recent decision gave the land to
the Midway Land company. The COM
pany secured possession of the scrip
and fled it in order to secure the posi-.
tive title to the land, over which there
was bitter contest.
The property is one of the most val
liable iron ore tracts in the state, and

elected clerk of the city court; he was
reelected duly, but shortly after he
was urged to take the better position
of deputy county clerk of Kane county.
He accepted the latter position and

The Taxes We Pay.


State Auditor Iverson presented TO
the members of the legislature his alb
stract of the tax lists of Minnesota
counties for 1902 Compared with the
1901 figures they show an increase OF
$3.50, 100000 in round numbers in the
valuation of the state. This was due
to the tax agitation last year, be-
ginning with the report of the tax
commission and the extra session.
The increase was SO great that al
though the levy was reduced in near
ly every county, the total taxes levied
increased by over 100000.
The printed statement shows the
total value of actual taxable real and
personal property in the state to be
$761, 76O,274, of which $$647, ,76O is
real and STA, 5,514 personal proper
ty. The total amount of taxes levied
for all purposes is $1s,52O, s46.60 to
produce that amount an average levy
over the state of "a $40 mills was
made.
For the year 1901 the total taxable
value was $500, 9SO,614, of which
$493, 140,77O was real and $1O7,-
$4,000 personal property. The total
tax levied in 1901 was $16,269, 671.55.
To produce that amount an average
rate of 81 ITO mills was necessary.
The taxes levied are distributed or

A SECRET TRADE,

The making of carbon paper and
typewriter ribbon is trade secret,
known by scarcely two dozen people in
the entire world. It has been handed
down from father to son for probably
century. So carefully is the secret
gaurded that the process has never been
patented. Much time and money has
been spent to discover this secret but
to no avail. The secret of brewing
golden grain belt beer is in the use
of best and expensive harley malt and
hops. The cost of ageing the beer is
not considered it is chow good and
chow cheap can beer be made. The
process is an evolution worked by
years of experimenting and by careful.
honest work. The good this beer does
