Good Service.

Many good stories have from time to
time been told of the Rev. Thomas
Hunt, the temperance orator. who was
a well-known figure in the early history
of the Wyoming Valley.
During the Civil War he enlisted,
and served as chaplain in one of the
regiments of infantry raised in the
valley. One day in the midst of fierce
battle a major rode up in front of the
regiment, and to his amazement found
Father Hunt at the head of the ranks.
Chaplain, what are you doing here?"
he asked.
"Doing?" echoed the old minister,
briskly. I'm trying to cheer the hearts
Of the brave and look out for the heels
of the towards"
And it was so evident that he was
performing both parts of this self-ap.
pointed task that the major asked no
more questions, but left him to his
work.

Chicago, H., March 30--Gustavu.
Franklin Swift, president of tie
Swift Packing company, died at his
home, 4S4S Ellis avenue, carly todaj
Of internal hemorrhages, resulting
from a surgical operation performed
several days ago. Mr.. Swift was
sixty-three years old.
The hemorrhage which caused Mr.
Swift's death resulted from an opera
tion for an infection of the gall blad-
der, performed March %. His death
was entirely unexpected both by Mr..
Swift's family and his physicians.
He had given every indication Of re-
coyery, and all danger was considered
passed. Mr. swift had been suffering
for some time with bladder trouble
and week ago an operation was de
termined upon to give him relief. II
was not expected that the operation
would prove especially dangerous, and
nothing happened to cause change
In this hopefulness until this morn
Ing. His improvement was stopped
suddenly by hcmorrhage which the
doctors were unable to check and
which caused his death in short
time.
Gustavus Franklin Swift began his
business career as butcher and died
leaving fortune estimated at from
81, 900, 900 to SO, 600, 600. He was born
at Sandwich, Mass, in June, 1899.
He opened a small butcher shop in
his native town. He removed to Bos-
ton when he was less than thirty
years old. He remained in Boston
until 1875, when he came to Chicago.
In this city he engaged in the same
business which he had left in Massa-
chusettS and developed the depart
ment of shipping live cattle to east
ern markets. In 1877 he evolved
plans for the first refrigerating car,
and dressed me- instead of live an
imals, were shil to eastern cities.
He was the pi, er in this kind OF
business and it was not long before
others saw the advantage of his meth.
cd and they initiated him. Mr..
Swift was not only the oldest ''pack.
er'' at the time Of his death, but he
was the originator Of the method that
has made many large fortunes.
From the small plant started in
1877 has developed a great corpora
ton with branches in st, Louis, Kan
Sis City, st. Joseph, Omaha, st. Paul,
and Fort Worth, Texas, with dis
tibuting Offices in every important
city and town in the United States,
and with representatives. in the
leading cities Of Europe, Asia and
Africa. Its e'.ployes number 22,G07.
Upon its capital stock of $25, 900, 900
the sales of 1902 exceeded 5000, 900, 900.

Compulsory cleanliness may, of
course, be as difficult to attain as COM
pulsory morality, but should one be
made possible the other might follow.
Already, in the minds of some philoSo-
pliers, physical and moral cleanliness
grow on the same stem, and to them a
scrubbing brush is not a mere scrub
bling brush; 1t bristles with moral pos
sibilities and wipes out spiritual as
well as physical stains. Every house

NOT MUCH EoR SHOW.
House Allows $4,000 For ST. Louis Hxpost
tlon-Elevator Bill at Last.

tlon-Elevator Bill at Last
Lincoln, Neb., March 81. Measures
of great interest were disposed Of in
the legislature Monday. The house
reduced the appropriation for the st.
Louis exposition from $75, 900 to $40, =
900, refused to concur in the senate
amendments to the general revenue
bill and appointed Messrs. Douglas,
Thompson and Morsman as q confer
ence committee. Governor Mickey
sent a special bill to the house for
the purpose of enabling counties to
collect delinquent taxes by the sale
Of property for taxes.
The senate has not yet appointed
conference committee to consider
the revenue bill, 1t is probable that
the joint conference will recommend
that the maximum state levy remain
at mills as determined by the house,
instead of mills as called for 10y the
senate amendment.
The senate did Il big days work in
one short afternoon. 1t approved the
Ramsey elevator bill in committee
of the whole, passed a bill appropri-
ating 800, 900 for the rebuilding Of
the Norfolk asylum and in committee
of the whole approved an appropri-
alton of 100000 for mprovements at
the agricultural college. Much to
the surprise of every one the univer-
sity authorities asked that the
amount be taken from the one mill
levy that goes to the university. The
bill was amended accordingly. The
taking OF this money from the fund
raised by taxation instead of from
the general fund of the state will
probably consume the entire fund
and the governor will not recommend
decrease in the levy. 1t will delay
the construction Of buildings at the
college farm one year At the end
Of the two years if the one mill levy
under the new revenue law proves ex-
cessive it can be reduced.
The house spent large portion of
its session yesterday in the consider
alton of the st. Louis exposition APP
preparation. The bill for this APP
preparation as introduced by Mr..
Rouse carried a S75, 900 grant from the
state. The house after declining too
indefinitely postpone the measure
first voted down a proposition to APP
proprfate $25, 600 and then voted
down proposition to appropriate
$50, 600. The sum of $35, 600 was then
agreed to. On roll call on a PROPOSE
ton not to agree to this sum but to
postpone the bill, % voted aye and 40
voted no. A number of members de-
clined to vote who will he placed on
record on the final passage Of the
measure
The house declined to amend bill
providing for strict examinations Of
applicants for Doctors certificates. A
proposition to exempt from examina-
ton those graduates from state col
leges who have matriculated under
the present law, was killed. The
amendment was championed by
Douglas of Rock county and was
quite vigorously opposed by the ply
sicians on the floor of the house.
The house appointed Il conference
committee on the senate amendments
to the revenue bill. Speaker Mockett
naming Douglas of Rock, Thompson,
Of Merrick and Morsman, of Douglas
on his committee. The senate will
appoint three members of the revenue
committee for this purpose when the
request is made for conference to-
dow
