v.,,,e &c Church Property.


The valuation put by the New York
City assessors upon the property
which is held by churches and chari-
ties In that city, exempt from taxation,
amounts to $4,000, 1885, OF this sum
the Roman Catholics own little more
than one fourth. or $55,500,000. The
property belonging to the Protestant
Episcopal church Is estimated to be
worth $34.000.000, nearly all of 1t In the
older part of the city, although the
IIpiscopalians have property worth
three and third millions in Brooklyn.
Presbyterian church property Is worth
f6,714,100, seven-eighths of which is
In Manhattan. The sum owned by
churches and societies Is large enough
to warrant careful inspection OF Its
use, and such supervision by the state
as shall Insure that the community re-
ceives an equivalent for its exemption
from Observation-Disclosures.

CAN SPARE THEM.


A considerable number Of old soaks
could be spared from Iowa City, and
some young ones as well. If they
were sent to the dipsy wards at 1nde-
pendence they would be benefited
and the community would be rid Of a
nuisance There is absolutely no ex-
cuse for man getting drunk, and the
sooner they are treated as subjects
for confinement the better. Any man
can keep from getting drunk If ne
wants to and begins In time, and II
he does not begin in time he has no.
body to blame but himself. After
getting rid of the soaks, the police
could do good service by eliminate
ing dozen or so of street loafers.
You cannot keep man from loatlng,
hut he can be kept from using the
streets for that purpose.

BURLINGTON REMEMBERED PIKE

BURLINGTON REMEMBERED PIKE
Huntington Hawk-Eye.I
According to the facts at hand Bur-
lington was the first city of the coun-
try this year to celebrate Pixies ia
nous Journey up the Mississippi river.
DR.. William Salter, of this city, has
received a notice telling of a celebra-
ton to be held at ST. Paul Saturday,
September %, concentrating Plke s
treaty. with the Sioux Indians, whereby
he obtained ten square miles OF lana
near the juncture of the st. Peters
and the Minnesota rivers for the sum
of $4,000 This in turn made 1t pos
sible for Colonel Smelling, few years
afterward, to build the fort which now
bears his name. In the river near the
tract of land is an island known to this
day as Pixies island. Pixies treaty was
signed on September 90, 1905, and this
event is to be celebrated by the people
of the vicinity Of st. Paul tomorrow.
"There was no celebration OF the ia
NOUS Journey made at ST. Louis that l
know Of" said DR.. Salter. But in
Burlington here we had a celebration
of his landing last month. Oddly
enough that was just month ago.
when the Pike party's landing was
celebrated in this city, Pike having
landed at the site of Grape park on
August %. 1906. You remember we
had quite celebration of the event by
the Octogenarian society, when Con-
gresham Hedge spoke, among others.
You see Burlington led in paying
tribute to the memory of the coura-
geous Pike"

Important MARRIAGES.

Divorced persons In Kansas have had
to cross the state line to enter into
marital relations second time, since
May 81, this year, as twenty of the
Episcopal clergy of Kansas, led by
their bishop, have issued a declaration
stating that they will refuse to marry
divorced persons during the lifetime OF
the other party. This action Is espec-
tally significant in view of the fact that
at the recent general convention, Kan
sas voted in both clerical and lay or
ders against the bishops canon prohib-
iting all such marriages, and the three
remaining deputies who sat In. that
convention-the fourth having remov-
ed from the diocese--are among the
signatories to this declaration. The text
Of the latter is as follows: I'VE, the
undersigned clergy Of the diocese OF
Kansas, sensible Of the great evil IN
the divorce conditions in the United
States do hereby agree that weswill not,
under any circumstances, marry d.
vorced person within the lifetime OF
the other party" This terse decision
is signed in a manner that bespeaks
the seriousness of the step taken.

UP-To-DATE SURGERY.

A sample of up-to-date surgery was
given about o'clock Sunday morn
ing by DR.. Wiley, the patient being
healthy hen of spring Of 1905 vintage.
The doctor simply meant to kill the
chicken, Just like any common man
would do, but from force of habit his
arm assumed surgical curves and,
though he cut off the head clear to
the neck, the operation was so skill
fully performed that the hen lived Till
about shutdown. During the day she
hoped around and clucked quite nat
urally besides laying her usual egg.
and the only difference between her
and the other chickens was that she
had to have her meals punched in be-
fore she could swallow them. She
died from putting the cut end of her
neck against the ground and forgetting
to raise 1t in time to take her last
breath The hen was very interesting
from a scientific standpoint, but It's
extraordinary lease on life was very
embarrassing to Mrs. Wiley, who was
expecting several preachers to dinner
and was in hot water herself because
she didn't like to put the chicken
there for fear she would make as poor
a scald of 1t as the doctor had made
of the execution.

cause of her losing flesh was that she
was in love with the living skeleton,
and that he, had been paying attention

woman came In. and when she saw
the living skeleton holding the hand
OF the fat woman, who sat on the
floor like Q balloon blowed up, the
bearded woman gave a kick at the liv-
Ing skeleton which sounded like
clothes bars falling down in the laun-
dry. and she grabbed the fat woman's
blonde wig and pulled It of, and then
the bearded woman began to cry and
she threw herself into pas arms and
began to sob on his bosom, and
mingle her whiskers with his.
Pa yelled for help, and thought 1t

thing, SO went outside the Office to
the fire alarm box and touched but

the police, and the firemen came with
the extinguishers and began to throw
