There are women. and many Of them

their homes on approval, wearing them
once and then returning them to stores
or costun1ers. Some women will wear
dress or cloak to the opera and send
it back next morning; or they will get
hat or wrap and go driving or visiting in
it. The average person would be as
tonished to know all the things, from
handsome umbrellas and fans of great
beauty to jewelry and clothes, that
some women borrowed from the shops.
OF course. all these women are nd
well off but they all dress well and %
out great deal. and although M

Some OF the reasons why the United

the markets of the world with manu-
features of iron are set forth in a spe-
cial report to the British government

entitled Report on the Iron Ore Indus

duced.

over $500 tons per day. These loading
machines which daily handle more
than 5000 tons, are each operated bv s
men, and the labor cost for mfnine
and loading averages but about Ice
per ton. and in the case of one mine
which dug and loaded 2gSg51 tons in
ia days, the labor cost was only 4c
per ton.
In the transfer of ore from mine to
vessel on the lakes the absence of hand
labor is also noticeable. The ore trains
are run on to long docks extending
high above the water and having large
pockets or apartments into which the
ore is discharged from theca through

ONE SERIOUS FIRE.
Residence on Tyler Street Nearly
Destroyed.

A fire at 1929 Sunday morning IN
the roof of the house at 1871 Tyler
street proved to be the most destruc-

months. The damage is estimated at
$500. The insurance was only $500. The
building is owned by H. G. Larimer
and is occupied by Mrs. r. K Craw

1t is supposed that the fire originated
from SCOT on the roof. When it was
discovered it was well under way. The
two boys who discovered the fire were
passing in a wagon. They drove to box

corner to turn in an alarm. Then
without waiting to tell him where the

building burn. When the department
arrived no smoke was visible and some
time was lost in finding the location of
the blaze.
Saturday afternoon at $40 O'Clock an
alarm was sent in by telephone from
the Topeka club. The roof of this
building had caught afire supposedly
from SCOT and the damage amounted to

EDITORIAL COMMENT.


Philadelphia Bulletin.
The KAISER Wilhelm is now engaged
in enlghtening his subjects on the nnys-
teries and duties of religion It seems
that there has been some doubt raised
although exactly why there should
have been in view of his numerous
pious speeches in the past dozen years
whether he had not become orthodox

attributed by some to the rulers friend
ly relations with Prof Delitzsch. the
Babylonian explorer he has taken care
to set them at rest in his own character

In fact. the kaiser appears before his
people In the role of a profound theo
logical instructor. and in effect assures
those who have been in a concern over
the irrsligious Tenderness imputed to him
that their monarch is still a true cham
pion OF orthodoxy.
Wilhelm informs them that he is a be-
lever in both the progressive and hiss
torical revelation of God and the purely
religious revelation. He recites a list OF
eminent men, beginning with Moses and
Abraham and winding up with his own
grandfather. who have been inspired or
moved by GOd, and seems to intimate
that the Almighty has himself in hand,
too, for some special purpose The kali
ser thinks it is self-eVident that many
sections of the Old Testament are purely
OF a human and historical nature. but,
with this exception. he defines his re-
ligious views pretty much as any Chris

thoritative and do&matie strain IN his
expressions which viii be somewhat d.

Warrant for $4,000 in illinois and

Special To Times Republican.
Rock Island Aug. 26.--An opinion
has been rendered to State Treasurer
Busse by Attorney General Hamlin on
the payment of the $4,000, warrant
given by Auditor Mccullough to the
commissioners of the Illinois and Mich
igan canal. Judge Hamlin advises
against paying the warrant unui the
case is finally decided by the supreme
court. In part the opinion says:
In my opinion, although the tenn
porary injunction has been dissolved,
yet you are bound 10 take notice as a
defendant OF the allegations made in
said bill for an Injunction and should
the circuit court on final hearing or
the supreme court on appeal hold said
act to be unconstitutional you would
be bound by such final decree or de-
cision.
In such event, as your actions from
the time the court acquired jur!sdic-
ton over you, and the subject matter
of said suit are bound by the final de-
cision OF the court, any money paid
out by you pending the hearing of said
cause would have to be restored by you
TO the state treasury
In conclusion the opinion says:
Il am of the opinion you should
withhold payment of said warrant un
til the final determination of said cause,
which, believe, will be able to secure
at the October term of the supreme
court"
