tory of the organization. This prog
ress, he explained, had manifested it
self not only numerically but inter-
nally, in the development and per-
lection of those ideals for which the
organization stands. In the west the
order has been especially progressive
and energetic during the last IL
months, which energy has manifested
itself in the formation of big lodges
and the erection of many handsome
lodge buildings.
The first business session of the
Elks this afternoon was devoted to
the reading of the reparts of officers.

IN COMMAND OF THE
POLICE DURING STRIKE
C1IcA0os PRES
oRDER.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-To Assistant
assigned the duty of maintaining po-
lice protection against possible vio-
lence during the strike at the stock
yards. He has been given absolute
command by instructions from Chief
ONeill, and will use his discretion
in regard to the methods he must
utilize to preserve the interests of
both employers and employees and
particularly the protection of the
public.
The task assigned to Scheuttler is
one requiring tact, nerve, cool head
and all the other requirements of a
general, but the manner in which the
assistant chief handled police pro-
lection during the street car strike of
last spring gives assurance of his
ability to cope with all exigencies
which may arise.
Assurance has been given him that
ne will have at his command suf-
ficient force to meet any emergency
which may arise. The situation is
somewhat different than during the
street car strike, inasmuch as there
is more compact area to patrol; but
whether il will be easier to quell a
disturbance within the bounds of the
yards than along the open streets is
a question. The assistant chief how
ever. is familiar with riot methods
under all conditions, and property
holders and pedestrians, employers

STOLE
BEDDING

"He didn't even leave the SOAP"
said Mrs. Annie Merritt this morning
when telling her woes into the ear
of aptain Coverly.
Mrs. Merritt conducts the Coburn
lodging house. Last night man
rented a room from her. She put him
in one of the best rooms of the house
This morning she opened the door
to clean up the room. She was spared
the trouble for the lodger had cleaned
it perfectly and thoroughly. Every
thing portable had been removed The
bedding, pillows, wash bowl, pitcher,
yes, even the soap was gone. The
roomer had taken fancy to the fur
nishines of the room and took them
with him.
1t took Mrs. Merritt some time to
get her second wind but when she
she did she hit upon an immediate
plan of action. Once she got started
it took her but shrot while to reach
the police station. Captain Coverly's
sympathetic ear was turned to her
and into it she poured her troubles.
"The towels, the bedding, everything
was gone this morning" she said.
The captain listened till she had
finished, then jotted down in his book
the notes furnished him. At some
future time he may be able to return
to Mrs. Merritt the missing articles.

WOMEN IN A CONTEST

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 19.-The
Ladies' Catholic Benevolent associa-
tion, a fraternal insurance society
with a large membership and which
enjoys the distinction of being man.
aged entirely by women, began it's
triennial convention in st. Paul today.
Previous to the opening of the bust
ness sessions the delegates attended
high mass at the cathedral. An in
teresting feature of this part of the
program was the joint participation
of Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Nc
Quad of Rochester, it being the first
time that the two prelates have ap-
peared together in public since their
memorable controversy of several
years ago growing out of Bishop Nc
Quaids criticism of the st. Paul pre-
late for the latter'ss political utter
ances. At the exercises in the ca
thedral this morning Archbishop Ire
land preached the sermon and Bishop
McQuaid took part in his capacity as
supreme spiritual adviser Of the
Ladies' Catholic Benevolent associa-
ton.
The convention was regularly OPEN
ed in the Peoples church this after
noon with the president of the as
ISOLATION, Mrs. E. B. MCGOWAN of
Buffalo, presiding. Addresses were
made by Archbishop Ireland, Govern
or Van SAINT and Mayor Smith. Fol-
lowing the formal opening the con-
vention went into session behind
closed doors for the consideration of
business connected with the affairs
of the association. A spirited and
almost acrimonious contest has de-
veloped for the presidency Of the or
ganization. Mrs. MCGOWAN, the in
cumbent, has announced her candi-
dacy for reelection and is opposed by
a large element who favor the candi-
dacy of Mrs. Mary E. Costello of
Brooklyn. Mrs. MCGOWAN has come
in for considerable criticism in con-
nection with her efforts to hold on to
the office of president. In the last
convention of the order, held at De-
troit three years ago. Mrs. MCGOWAN
defeated Mrs. Popp of Pittsburg by
200 votes.
In accepting the office she declared
to the delegates present that she
would never again allow her name to
be presented for reelection.

The old strawberry bed demands
attention now. If badly infested with
insects or fungus diseases pillow up
and plant the ground to some late
crop. If healthy, NOW the tops, rake
off and burn and renovate by thorough
and frequent cultivation between the
rows Allow very narrow row of
plants to grow, leaving only the EARL
est runners. A bed two years old
can be renewed in this way SO as to
grow a good crop next year.
The new planting should have good
culture also. Keep down all weeds
and KEEP the ground well stirred on
the surface to prevent escape of the
moisture.

This type of cow has been the
subject of much discussion in the

controversy having been represented.
The principal opposition to the type
comes from the breeders of dairy

she will not produce milk so econom-
