Special to The Oil Review.
Waterbury, Conn, March %
In an endeavor to lower the rec
ord held by Julia Real, who jump
ed the rope 100 times, little Marie
Sheridan has met death. The
ReaFgirl had reached the century
mark in skipping the rope and
little Marie told her schoolmates
she would beat the record. As
she jumped the one hundredth
time she fell to the ground uncon-
scious. She was removed to her
home, but doctors failed to re-
store her, and the same afternoon
she died. The other girl who
jumped 100 times has also died
since, although she appeared to
be in no way affected by her
strenuous work.

LABOR DAY.

Last Monday was legal holi-
day to our state aud to many
other states, known as Labor day
or holiday for organized labor.
So it was on last Monday more
than a million of the American
laborers marched to the sound of
music in parade; perhaps more
than five million of people viewed
them with pleasure. In short it
was a rest day from our labor,
for nearly all the people are
laborers. .. s>s.-.-,... 81
This holiday is one of the
many benefits that organized
labor has been able to accomplish.
Labor should be organized and
have their unions, for they are a
great benefit to humanity. They
can be of a great deal more bene-
fit when they will lay that race
hatred and color prejudice down
and admit all true and worthy
laborers, regardless of color; give
every man square deal; don't
try and keep the Negro out of

CHURCH CORNER STONE
LAID,

The corner stone of the Uuion
Congregational church was laid
last Sunday afternoon with a
beautiful ceremony, amid the
sound of many eloquent addresses.
The crowd was very large, even
with threatening rain clouds and
a cool chilling wind, yet the
large crowd remained fully two
hours. There was music by the
choir; Invocation by Rev. T. l..
Griffith, that able and good chris
tian man from Corinthian Baptist
church; scripture reading by Rev.
Rosenberger of Greenwood Con-
gregational church; greetings
from the churches of the city by
Rev. J. w. Day. that earnest and
eloquent man from the Presbyter-
ian church; address by our below
ed and popular Governor, A. B.
Cummins; address by Judge w.
H. McHenry, who is always lik-
ed; song by the intermediate Sun
day School class, under the super
vision of Mrs. VIM. Coalson; adj
dress by Editor John L. Thomp-
son; Hon. c. c. Cole, Dean of
Drake University Law College,
delivered fine address; the Rev.
T. Q. Douglas made a good ad-
dress. Then collection was
lifted and pledges received. H.
w. Hughes read what records the
box contained; among the things
deposited was a Holy Bible, con-
stitution of Iowa and the United
States, copy of the first minutes
of the organizing of the church,
with the names of the charter
members, two copies of the Iowa
State Bystander, list of all the
Sunday School children, with

PEACE.

Peace, sweet peace, that will
ultimately bring Joy to the world
has at last come by the two war
ing powers, Russia and Japan,
having signed treaty of peace
through their plenipotentiaries
here assembled in Portsmouth,
New Hampshire.
A few weeks ago when these
distinguished dipiomits came here
we could hardly expect them to
have come to peace terms, but
our gallent, brave, loyal hearted
president, Theodore Roosevelt,
urged upon them for the sake Of
suffering humanity, with its
thousands of homes made desolate
aud unhappy by the death from
shot and shell.
While upon the face of the
treaty it seems that Russia got
the best of it, whereas Japan
should have for they won. While
it may be benefit to Russia, it
is still greater benefit to Japan.
For she has established herself
as nation of dark people worthy
to be considered by all powers.
Then it will give Japan better
standing financially. No doubt
Russia was sick of this war, for
it was an expensive one; the dis
.tance being So far from their
home, and then again having such
internal strife and uprising. In
fact let us too rejoice that the
war is over and nations now are
at peace. Let us settle down and
develop the land and the physi-
cal man and help make the world
better.

BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN.

The glad ring of the old famil'
lar school bell this week again
after having been silent about
three months, brought joy to the
urchins, the boys and girls. 1t
also reminded The older ones of
ye by gone school days. No
doubt thousands and thousands
of children answered this bell
call with their presence in the
school room, eager to begin the
years reserch for knowledge and
learning; and we'll they should
be, for those golden opportuni-
ties to secure knowledge does not
always come or always remain
long with us. Our urgent advice
to every boy and girl of school
age is to make use of these
golden opportunities.
Ye,parents, you ought to see
that they go at once to school.
If you do not you are neglecting
your duty to your children. Let
no excuse keep them out of school,
thus depriving them of the free
public learning. Don't let pride,
proverty, style or society keep
them from school. Remem ber
the old adage, "first seek knowl.
edge and wisdom and all else will
come"
