The plaintiff in the case of Anna
Buchmeier against the city of Daven-
port yesterday dismissed the case
brought several weeks ago and began
a new suit, this time for $4,000 dam
ages. Mrs. Buchmeier states that in
the first suit she asked for a smaller
amount OF damages because she did
not know the extent of her injuries.
Since that time she has been operated
upon twice with prospects of another
operation, and her life has been so
endangered that she asks a larger
amount from the city. She states that
on January 10, 1904, she was badly
injured on a defective sidewalk at

have expressed an almost unanimous
opinion favOring the continuance of
the assembly. To back that up many
have pledged themselves for season
tickets, subscribing for from one to

Several questions were asked and
space left for answers, and these quer

barn standing on the Petersen prop

last evening, and for a time it ap-
peared that the blaze was quite an
one. The fire was, however,
nearly entirely confined to the hay
of the barn and through the prompt
arrival of the fire department a larger
blaze was prevented. This is the
second blaze in two days in this al
ley, both in places where it would be
difficult for fire to start. The fire

A Shameful Lie.

We had thought that the days were gone when
there could be any profit encouragement even
in the most fanatica anti-Catholic circles for the
publication of such shameless lies as the Glasgow
Observer quotes as follows from the Christian Her
aid English paper):
"a gentleman travelling in South America
visited a Cathedral in the city in which he was
staying and became engrossed in copying some
carving in a corner of the edifce The hour for
closing passed, and when he made for the door he
found it barred for the night. Making the best of
his predicament, he by and by lay down to sleep
During the night he was aroused by the opening of
a door behind the high altar, and saw two priests
drag the gagged and bound form of a nun to
spot where they raised stone; then they tossed
the nun into what evidently vault below
and then, closing the trap, they went away. Next
morning he went and told the British consul of the
occurrence. The consul said he could do nothing
and advised him. if he valued his life to leave the
place at once"
This has all the seeming of lie out of the
whole cloth which, of course, it is, and the chal-
enge which the Observer thus puts will not be met
by particle of proof:
eve challenge the Christian Herald and those
who conduct it to give single fact in support of
this invention We say they cannot name the town
where this occurred nor the person who is alleged
to have witnessed the occurrence, nor the name of
the British consul We are prepared to deposit
sum of one hundred pounds in the hands of any
reputable person to be paid to any charitable
object we may name if any evidence be pro-
duced by the Christian Herald or It's proprietors
to prove their story"
None can or will be produced, nor viii the

SOME EXAMPLES FOR BOYS.

1t is not necessary that boy who learns trade
should follow it all his life. Governor Palmer of
Illinois was once a country blacksmith, and began
his political career in Macoupin county. circuit
judge in the central part Of Illinois tailor.
Thomas Hoyne, rich and eminent lawyer of Hi
nois was once bookbinder.
Erastus Corning of New York, too lame to do
hard labor, commenced as shop boy in Albany.
When he applied for employment first he was asked,
''Why, my little man, what can you do~ Can do
what l am bid" was the answer, which secured him
place.
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts was shoe
maker; Thurlow Weed was canal boat driver; ex-
Governor Stone of Iowa a cabinetmaker, as
was also the late Hon. Stephen A. Douglas in his
youth. Large numbers of men of prominence now
living have risen from humble life by dint of in
dustry, without which talent is gold coin a
barren island. Work alone makes men bright, and
it does not alone depend the kind of work you
have whether you rise not 1t depends, certainly,
on how YOU do it.

Aunt Busy thinks that contestants from St Marys

WASTED ALL THREE WISHES.

An Irish legend has it that good fairy once
visited old couple and promised them that any
three wishes they would make would be granted.
After racking their brains for some time in en-
>deavor to discover what they desired most, the
couple decided to visit the county fair to see if
something there would suggest what they wanted
They did so, and after rambling around all day
and not seeing anything that exactly suited them,
toward evening they found themselves before dis
play of kitchen utensils. Among them a soup
ladle cheap, but likely to appeal to woman SO the
old woman in all absent moment said: ooh, / wish
l had one of these" and Immediately she had it.
The old man was so enraged because his wife
had thoughtessly thrown away one valuable wish
that he retorted Il wish that was stuck down your
throat" and Immediately this was done.
Thereupon he was at once sorry at what he
wished and the only thing left. to do was to wish
the ladle out again. So all three wishes went for
naught.

TALK TO BOYS.

Let me tell you something today, my dear young
friends, of the boy with ambition. What KIND OF
fellow is thatl 1t is one who does not care for
anything in the whole world. He takes things Just
as they come to him. Whether people think good or
bad of him, he doesn't Whether he is pro-
NOTED or not, he doesn't care Whether he has
good job or not he doesn't See, that IS true
picture of the boy without ambition. The life OF
such a boy viii surely be failure.
We must all have some ambition in US. Anbi-
ton in the sense mean is not the same pride or
jealousy The ambition of which | am speaking Is
a virtue and very necessary virtue at that. Every
one who wishes to succeed in life must possess 1t
in some degree. People are sometimes despised,
because they are said to be ambitious But that Is
not the ambition in question They are said to be
ambitious, because they seek after high places.
