Those who gave expert testimony at
the hearing were Master Mechanic
Cunningham; Durbin Grupe, proprietor
of the Davenport Boiler works. and
Emil Einfeldt, superintendent of the
Bettendorf Metal Wheel works. All
three had examined the exploded boil
er and found the water to have been
at least two inches below the crown
sheet at the time of the explosion. The
stage of water in the boiler was made
discernable by reason of the streaks it
left upon the interior at the time of the
explosion. All three witnesses also
testified that they found no defects of
any kind in the boiler and that the ex-
plosion was undoubtedly due to a de-
ficiency of water in it.
Engine In Good Condition.
Thomas j. Robinson, who until 4
few days before the night of the eX-
plosion, had been the engineer in
charge of the Inflated engine, was
placed upon the stand and testified
that during the time he was in charge
of the engine, everything worked to
perfection and the engine was in the

count of being promoted to a passen-
ger engine.

was next placed upon the stand and
testified that as far as he knew, the
engine was in good working order.
The boiler had never given any trou-
BILE during the time that he fired upon
the engine.

Reads Like a Miracle.

Moravia, N. Y, Dec. l2th.-(Special)-
Bordering on the miraculous is the case
of Mrs. BENZ. Wilson, of this place. Suf-
fering from Sugar Diabetes, she, wasted
away till from weighing 200 lbs. she
barely tipped the scales at l30 lbs. Dodd' 8
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her
cure her husband says:
my wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years
and doctored with two doctors, but re-
ceived no benefit. She had SO much pain
all over her that she could not rest day
or night. The doctor said that she could
not live.
"Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a
God Sent remedy to us and we recon-
mend them to all suffering from Kidney
Disease"
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney
Diseases, including Bright's Disease, and
all kidney aches, including Rheumatism.

Origin Of the Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree is supposed to
have originated in Germany, but such
Is not the case. In reality the Christ
mas tree is from Egypt, and dates
from period long antecedent to the
Christian era. The palm tree is
known to put forth a shoot every
month. and spray of this tree with
IL shoots on it was used in Egypt at
the time of the winter solstice as
symbol that the year was complete.
Egyptian affections of an early date
still linger with the Christmas tree
The first Christmas tree was intro
duced into England and thence into
America by some German merchants
who lived in Manchester.

Christmas Legend.

There is legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple, i'm
mediately the leaves of the tree shriy-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed itE
nature, and became the evergreen, In
all seasons preaching the story OF
mans fall. Only ON Christmas does it
bloom brightly with lights and become
beautiful with love-gifts-the curse is
turned into a blessing at the coming
of the Christ Child, and We have our
Christmas Tree.

Bishop Olmsted of Denver, is interest
ed in number of charities, and obtains
many generous contributions on their be-
half from rich Episcopalians, says the New
York Tribune.
There is IN Denver, however q million
aire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is a
generous man, and in his own way he
assists the poor, but to organized char
ity, for some reason, he heartily OBJ
jects. The bishop often asks him for
subscriptions, but those requests are al
most invariably refused,
Recently the millionaire had his por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met him
the other day and said:
II saw this morning your admirable
portrait"
And did you ask it for a subscription?
said the millionaire, smiling.
NO." said Bishop Olmsted. "I saw
there was no use-it was SO like you."

PRINTING OUT. OF CITY
County Attorney Had Expend-
ed All Money Allowed by
Law for Campaign.
A Friend Volunteered to Have
Printing Done and Sent It
to Minneapolis.

In the last issue of the Labor World
we published an item to the effect that
John McClintlock, candidate for county
attorney, had some printing done i'll
Minneapolis by union printer there.
We know Mr.. McClintlock's attitude
on the union question, and were very
much surprised to learn that he should
be so impolitic as to have his campaign
printing done out of the city. We were
unable to see Mr. McClintlock before
the publication of our last issue, and
hence could get no explanation from
him.
Since then he has been interviewed
by the editor Of this paper, and the fol-
lowing facts were learned:
According to law Mr.. McClintlock has
expended all the money that is per-
mitted for campaign purposes. A friend
volunteered to help him, and offered to
get certain circular letter printed for
him. This friend took the circular and
had it printed In minneapolis. Mr..
McClintlock knew nothing about where
it was printed, except that it contained
the union label, which he wanted.
This explanation ought to be suffi-
cient, and we trust that the members of
union labor will hold nothing against
Mr.. McClintlock because Of this over
sight, which is likely to occur with
anyone.

" Here is Fall River. There, but a

There are great mansions, with glass;

The preacher was the Rev. N. S.

Mr. Lowry Is 70 years Of age, but is
still strong and vigorous, and looks
like a man Of so. He took for his
text: John Ill. Is, For God so loved
the world that he gave his only begot-
ten Son that whatsoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life" His topic was Gods
Love for, the World" Mr.. Lowry has
the happy faculty Of putting his SER
mon In such manner that 1t Is i'm
mediately grasped by his hearers.
The new choir is splendid addition
to the Sunday evening services. 1t is
in charge of Miss Mildred Fawcett,
who is making wonderful progress as
soloist Her voice is strong and
sweet, and she was the recipient of
much praise by the members of the
congregation.
Indeed the services were so good
that they moved the heart of lone
grets that he has been an infrequent
attendant at such an enticing house
of worship.
