A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN.

The abilities Of Mrs. Alice r. Cos
sage, wife Of Joseph B. Gossage of
Rapid City, S D., formerly resident
of this city, are lauded in the Sioux
City Journal, in which paper was con-
tanned the following article concerning
Mrs Gossage, accompanied by like
ness of this brilliant woman:
Mrs. Gossage Is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Bower, and descend
ant of Samuel Huntington, one of the
signers of the declaration Of independ-
ence. She wkas born in Dane county,
Wis. When was 9 years of
age her parents moved to
Vermillion, S. D., at the time
when white people were limited
to few scattering trading posts and
the warlike Sioux still roamed SUI
preme among the Black Hills. A daily
paper and press could not then be af-
forded among so few. This little girl
issued a paper, written with pen and
ink. After graduating from school she
taught for awhile and then learned
type setting in the Office of the Stan
dard From that time to this her time
has been spent In newspaper work. In
1882 she married Joseph B. Gossage,
Of Rapid City, the proprietor and pub
Usher Of the Daily Journal of that
place. Five years later her husband
was stricken with typhoid fever, and
has never been we'll man since. I'm
able to attend to his paper, Mrs. Cos
sage was equal to the situation. She
writes the editorials, prepares from
five to seven columns of matter daily,
reads the proofs and superintends all
the various departments. AS writer
she has crisp, clear and entertaining
style. Mrs. Gossage is considered an
authority on cooking and is as good a
housekeeper as she is an editor. AL
though her time would seem to be en-
tirely taken up in newspaper work she
publishes also the White Ribbon Jour
nal, the organ Of the w. G. T. u, and
is a teacher in the Sunday school and
organist in the church.

DELIVERS ADDRESS.
6. J. Barnum Talks at Annual Meet
ing of Trades and Labor Assembly.

Following is the report of President
George j. Barnum, made at recent
meeting of the Ottumwa Trades and
Labor Assembly:
I'm reviewing the work of the past
six months find that we have many
things to be proud of and few things
Notwithstanding the general lack of
interest in trade organizations our at
tendance has kept up to the average
and those of us who have been the
regular attendants have been the
ones to reap the benefits. l believe
that can assert with assurance that
the locals whose delegates have been
punctual are the locals who manifest
the most interest in organization.
"The bakers have settled their diff
ferences in an amicable manner dem
onstrating once again what strength
there is in standing firmly together de-
handing what is due and no more.
"The one thing to be regretted is
the action of the musicians in making
a removal from the unfair list without
the consent of this central body and
desire to recommend that an investi-
cation be made and that this body
either make the removal from the un-
fair list or require the musicians to
again declare the place unfair.
II also recommend as did my worthy
predecessor. that the bylaws be SO
changed as to add committee on
scales whose duty will be to see that
all scales presented to this body be
arranged in a legal and business-like
manner.
II also desire to recommend that
the term of Office of the president be
made one year instead Of six months
and that no one shall succeed himself
to said office.
"In conclusion want to congratu-
late this body and all affiliated, in Sc
curing the state Federation Of Labor
convention for this city for 1906, and
let us assume the responsibilities as
union men and women and give to
those attending a reception such as
was never given before"

GREAT RUSH WEST.
Railroads Are Burdened With Bic
Business.

Omaha, Neb., July 3.-Railroads are
right now hauling more passengers
than at any time in their histories.
All trains of all roads have extra cars
attached to them, and many Of them
are being run In two and even three
sections. The movement of tourists to
the mountains and the Pacific coast
has begun, and returning students
from eastern colleges are helping to
swell the tide. L. w. Wakeley, gen
eral passenger agent of the western
lines of the Burlington, said recently:
"Travel was never so lively in the
west as at present, and all lines are
hustling to secure equipment to handle
the business. Burlington trains are
crowded everywhere in the west"

GIBBONS FOR GREeoRlAN MUSIC.
Cardinal RevIses His Opinion and
Now Agrees With Pone.

Reading, Pa. July ST. have re-
vised my opinion about the use of Gre
gorian music in the United States, and
shall SO inform his holiness"
This important statement was made
yesterday by Cardinal Gibbons, arch
bishop of Baltimore, after he had
heard the Gregorian mass sung by a
vested choir for the first time in this
country. The occasion was the dedi-
cation of the new ST. Peters Roman
Catholic church, and the music was
rendered under the direction Of Or
ganist Haage. His eminence listened
to the rendition of the famous mass
with profound interest. and after the
services he sent for Organist Haage
and publicly complimented him, say
ing:
Mr.. Haage, you have convinced me
that made a mistake. l opposed the
attempt to have this music sung in
the United States, telling the people
that it was impossible. Today, since
hearing your choir, have revised my
opinion, and shall so advise his holi.
