of the money secured thru the sale of

Finest instrument in State.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, May 2.-The Methodist
people here have a new pipe organ the
equal of which can not be found in
Iowa outside few of her largest cities.
1t was built by the Marshall Bennett
Company, of Moline. Ill. 1t contains
1900 pipes varying in length from one
quarter of an inch to twenty-five feet.
1t is of the tubular pneumatic con-
struction and weighs ten tons. The
wind is furnished by a large water en-
CINE in the basement, which is con-
trolled by the bellows. 1t is as light in
touch as piano and the variety of
tones which can be produced is almost
unlimited.
Clarence Dickinson, of Chicago one
of the very best pipe organ manipula-
tors in the west, was secured to give
a recital Friday evening, assisted by
the Moody Institute Male Quartet, and
music lovers OF Hampton and the sur
rounding country were given great
musical treat. The total cost to the
church was $500, and they are justly
proud of it.

Premier Combes, who is trying to
stamp out Of the hearts of Frenchmen
the Catholic faith, has crowned his in
famous war on religion by ordering all
religious emblems removed from the
courts Of justice, says the Catholic Co
lumbar. He selected Good Friday for
the carrying out of the order. Among
the emblems banished is Bonnat's IA

ts a Freemason, an atheist, an apos-
tate Catholic who received his educa-
tion gratis, from the Church, and then
turned to sting the hand which be-
friended him. Even his own party do
not look upon him as man Of much
calibre. He was simply selected as a
handy tool to do the dirty work of the
Free Thinkers against the Church.
When he has accomplished this he will
be flung aside, as he deserves to be.
It has been claimed that Combes is an
ex-priest, but this is not so. He never
was a priest, though he was once a
student for the priesthood. We know

A learned Presbyterian divine of
this city, says the Northwest Review
Of Winnipeg, who has been studying
Mormonism in its religious text books,
catechisms, and other otncial descrip-
lions of it's history and tenets, gives 1t
as his calm conviction that Mormons
are polytheists, for they believe, not
in the one and undivided Trinity, but
in three Gods, and that Polygamy is
the very foundation stone of their re-
ligion, so much SO indeed that Nor
monism would cease to exist If it were
not polygamous. 1t is an open secret
that the Mormons that have settled in
Southern Alberta practice polygamy,
and that one of their best known repre-
sentatives is living with three wives.

ment, if it We're it never could sue

which now seems assured is logical
result of present political conditions,
just as the nomination of Bryan in
1896 was the logical result of the then
existing conditions. The effort to rem
der helpless the great mass of Demo-
cratic voters in this country by keeping
them divided while their opponents
continue to misgovern and rob the
country will not succeed. The time is
ripe for Democratic victory, and past
differences between Democrats will no
longer suffice to allow the Republicans

WOULD FORGET, If ALLOWED.

The English papers complain of what
they term the stringent measures
adopted by the Russian official censors,
towards their correspondent, not only
at the theater Of war, but also in St.
Petersburg. says the Irish-American.
One Of the London journals, whose
correspondent had been expelled from
Russia, proceeds to give the details of
his hard case, as an example of the
Muscovite official tyranny. 1t appears
that this writer had been forwarding
to his paper piquant accounts of things
that were not so," but which he calcu-
lated would make just the kind of
'spicy news his reader Mt home would
relish. The Russian press censor al
lowed his letters to pass without ques-
ton; but when they appeared in print,
he was twice sent for and cautioned
as to the results that he must expect
to follow from persistence in such
courses. Being English, We know"
the correspondent refused to take war
ming, or amend, and on a third
repetition of the offence he was
promptly bundled out Of the country;
whereat the London pressmen COM
plain loudly. These worthless appear to
have forgotten how severely they tried
the patience Of the government and
people Of the United States, during our
civil troubles, by constant misrepresen-
tations, and that leniency and ignoring
the offence, in those instances, so far
from producing any corrective effect
only resulted in the continuance Of the
false statements in more exaggerated
