8 8. They Made az Mistake. C

The republicans of Kootenai coun-
ty, realizing they made big mistake
In their county convention by trying
to deceive the people on the county
division question, are telling them
that they have, at what they
call "mass convention adopted
the democratic platform on that is
sue. The people of the county will
not be. fooled, however, by this sec.
ond attempt at deception on the part
OF Boss Hoffman. They realize that
the platform alone binds the candi
dates and they know what Hoffman
did two years ago on the division
matter. They know that, had it not
been for Hoffman, the county would
have been divided along the lines
they desired and will now refuse to
trust Heitman's candidates with the
work. If the county is divided, it
will be by the democrats and not by
Hoffman and his republican machine.

There is no reason whatever why
the democratic party should be betray-

of men fit to be named for the state

CITY WILL SECURE
FUNDS FOR SEWER
COUNCIL EXPRESSES ITSELF AS
IN FAVOR OF GOING AHEAD
WITH TRUNK SYSTEMS

From Tuesdays Daily.
While no binding action was taken
the city council at a meeting held last
evening practically decided to go
ahead and advertise for bids for the
for in the trunk sewer ordinance re.
Gently passed.
The finance committee, which has
been conducting negotiations to secure
the necessary funds for the construc.
ton Of the sewers made an informal
report last evening. Chairman Spry
stated that while the committee had
not been able to secure as favorable
an offer as it had hoped, the local
banks had signified their willingness
to take up the matter, if convinced of
the legality of the bonds. The terms
offered will be per cent interest paid
semi-annually.
The, ordinance provides that the
council may arrange plan whereby
the city may issue bonds or certificates
secured by taxes to be collected in the
future. OF course If the contractors
are compelled to accept such bonds as
their pay, it will be hard to get bids
on the work, but If the local banks
accept these bonds and advance the
money to the city to pay for the con
struction work, then Ottumwa's sewer
problem is solved.
Alderman Keyhoe moved that 1t be
the sense Of the meeting that the city
proceed to advertise for bids under the
provisions of the ordinance, with the
idea that the banks Of the city are to
take the bonds, as they have said that
they would do. The motion was car
ried.
Will Stop Work.
John Scott, the contractor, who is
constructing the Finley avenue sewer,
reported that the extra $4,000 worth
of work, which the council has author.
lied in addition to the amount Of
work called for this year in the con.
tract, is now about completed. He
stated that he was willing to finish the
sewer this year constructing the work
to Miner street, providing the council
would continue the percentage ar
rangement that had been in force III
the construction of the extra work
now about completed. That is that
the council pay one-half of the interest
on the money borrowed for the con.
struction work, the rate for the city
being 31a per cent. The council took
no action on this matter and probably
no more work will be done this year
on the sewer.

FATHER RANDALL
GIVES LECTURE
OPENS THE SERIES FOR THE
WEEK AT ST. PATRlck's
CHURCH
From rues6ay's Dali

From Tuesdays Daily.
THE whole world pays homage to
Christ. said Rev. Father William
Randall in his lecture rast evening in
the st. Patrick's Catholic church. Rev.
Father Randall Is one of the priests
who are conducting services this week
at the st. Patricks church and is a
member Of the st. Louis apostolate.
Sunday evening marked the close Of
the mission services and last evening
opened the lectures for non-catholics.
The lectures will continue through
o'clock each evening The subject for
this evenings lecture will be 'Is One
Religion as Good as Another" and will
be delivered by Father Randall. In his
talk of last evening he took for his
subject, THE Divinity Of Christ" and
delivered very interesting lecture.
He said in part as follows:
The divinity of Christ is the found
alton of all Christian beliefs. The
Christians believe that God decended
from high and that Christ assumed to
himself a human nature, while on
earth; that He had soul and body
and that He called Himself Jesus
Christ,
Had Two Natures.
Jesus had two natures, while on
earth, human and divine He had a
divine personality and human nature
which placed the two in one.
What he suffered while on earth,
was God suffering. The whole worlr
pays homage to Christ. Here and there
we find persons who do not accept the
divinity Of Jesus but these speak OF
Him as man and not of God. as a
man perfect and worthy. But there
are a few who do not believe in Him
Christianity is cohesive with civiliza.
ton. This homage of civilization is
not transient one, but Is a sentiment
of firm conviction.
"Are On Their Knees"
t"The troubles 1t has gone through
with in the past centuries have not
overthrown it, but has tended to make
it stronger. They have given it exer
else to make it more firm and fix it in
the hearts Of Christians. Men are on
their knees at the feet Of Christ and
crying, My Lord, My Cod
"Some have thought that his doc
trines were incredible. The brightest
minds have accepted the doctrines Of
Christ and have longings to realize
aspirations Of knowledge of Him. Man
loves that which is good and desires g
higher life.
"The more we drink of earthly pleas
ures, the more we want of them ant
they do not satisfy the heart. Why
must we die? Our souls are continu
ally crying for eternal life and we mus
have it,
"The reason that God descended was
that He might become the man in or
der that man might become more like
God. He has implanted those longings
in tho human heart which the world
knows nothing about. He has put in
stincts in our hearts so we will or.
out to Him.

BRYAN IN THE

The Great COmmOner Would Make
John D. Feel Lonesome Church
1 es Should Bar His Money.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 25.-Wil'
liam ]. Bryan during his stamping tour
through Indiana delivered a speech al
Wabash, in which he referred to John
ID. Rockefeller.
Until recently, he said, the churches
had been willing to accept money.
without asking questions about i, pu'
one of the denominations had DeeD
stirred to it's very depths by a con'ro,
versy as to whether it should accep'
money from Mr.. Rockefeller
IL believe" he continued, ina II
tbe churches and charitable societies
would stand up and say to Mi. RocKe'
Teller: Keep your money. You stole II
from the public. We will not accept
itr they would come near to making
him feel how lonesome Il man can be
in this world who has nothing but
money and no conscience back Of it"
Mr.. Bryan when askedforan expression
on the political situation in New York
is quoted as saying: Il am for Hearst.
| think he is making a brave tight, ana
| hope he will win. | am not famlllar
with the details of the local situation
in New York and don't care TO discuss
the politics of that state ut any length.
At Delphi Mr.. Bryan said: Il hin
the president was the bitterest oppo-
nent I had in 1896, but the momen he
started out to do something for the In
terest of the people | called on him ana
fold him l would help him just as far
MS nv influence could reach. But do
not help any stand pat Republicans,
for the stand pat Republican denies
that the people need any help.
what does the doctrine of stand pat
mean? Well, as | don't play cards I
don't know the technical meaning of
the term. but | think it is appropriate
that the Republican party, who has
made a lottery Of business, should
adopt Il gamblers term to describe its
policy in this campaign"
Fred Schelly, eighty years old, walk
ed twelve miles to hear William j.
Bryan, and when he reached the out
skirts of the crowd at Logansport lie
fell unconscious from exhaustion and
is in a critical condition. Mr.. Bryan,
hearing of the affair, ordered that
Schelly be taken to a private hospital
and erred for at Bryan's expense.
From here Mr.. Bryan goes to Ohio,
where he will speak in the interest OF
the Democratic ticket of that state.
