Thost who are particular about The
quality Of what they eat and drink

pursued by this famous hreweg~~me-

such superior quality, taste and paia

are. ussd and appreciated In every
civilized country on the globe. >
Even In Germany and Bohemia,
which has a worldwide reputation
for producing beers Of excellent quali

the preference among those who ap

cleanliness. The persons and clothing
OF the employees. the machines, the

purity Is noticeable everywhere.
Every carload Of barley used In the

machines which sort ont and cas-,

All other grains texcept a small

are avoided as a pestilenee. Other
breweries, for reasons OF economy,
are accustomed to mix corn with the
barley TO the detriment of quality,
But not a single grain Of corn is ever
allowed TO enter the AnheuserBusct

Saving" THE "4oo.'f

Kansas City Journal: Bishop Nc
Vicar of Rhode Island, is convinced
that there is very little hope for the
smart set" He is inclined to the
opinion that Society" as represented
by Gotham's 400" or whatever the
figure happens to be at the present
time is on the skids and that satan
Is waiting with open arms for the
whole outfit ut Is hardly to such or
to any mixture Of such that we should
look for social regeneration" he says,
with square jawed f1nality.
There Is tendency in this country
to deplore the fact. that certain CO.
terie of frivolous New Workers insist
upon making asses Of themselves in
their grotesque efforts to spend their
incomes. OF course 1t is too bad, but
the good bishop and other we'll mean
ing critics should not take 1t so seri-
"sets" do not represent the United
States of America by any means, and
they do not reflect the real spirit OF
Americanisrn. The little froth on the
surface Of our social life is due to
superabundant activities and not to
inherent impurities. These people
who fit back and forth across the At
lantic in vain efforts to find new SEN
sations and pleasures may be Ameri-
can or British or French, 1t matters
not. They are small In numbers as
compared with that great substantial
class OF fine old New Workers., Bos-
tonians, Philadelphians and other typ
ical Americans, who, as Henry Wat
terson puts 1t, Tive without scandal
and travel without adventure" The
real salvation of this country rests
upon the workers and the sensible,
normal and intellectual men and wo-
men who constitute the 1eavaD IF orr
social fabric. Just as the country Is

KENNEDY FOR CONGRESS.

Keokuk Gate City:-Lee county re-
publicans in convention at Donnellson
Friday gave unqualified endorsement
to Hon. G. A. Kennedy as a candidate
for congress and in attestation Of
their entire good faith and their con-
f1dence In his ability and integrity au-
thorized him to select his own dele
gates. To make their action still more
emphatic the delegates were instruct
ed to vote for his denomination as
long as he desires their support.
There could not be stronger endorse,
ment than was given him, nor could It
be free from reservation or qualifi-
cation of any kind. The resolution Is
good index to the esteem in which
Mr.. Kennedy Is held by the members
Of his party In his home county. III
was passed with hearty good will by
q unanimous vote. Mr.. Kennedy will
have the cordial support of Lee county
in the nominating convention. and lei
is not too much to hope and expect
that he will eventually attract enough
additional strength to make him tl1e
nominee There is no question as to-
his capability and worthiness. He
would be an Industrious, influential.
useful and in every way creditable
representative. Lee county republic,
cans are unit In wishing him sue.
cess and their delegates will use alb
honorable means to that end.

ONE MANS LOYALTY.

Many stories of individual work are
coming out OF San Francisco since the
earthquake, and among them is one
whose hero is Harry Jeffs, chief of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Oakland. AS is now well known, the
earthquake put practically every tele-
graph wire leading out of San Fran
cisco completely out of commission. It
was very important to San Francisco
and to the world at large that the
news OF the disaster be dispatched to
the outer world with all possible speed
and Jeffs saw that it was t'up to him.
to make this possible. He lost no
time in reaching the mole for the pur-
pose of testing the scores of wires
which emerge from the water at that
point. 1t took the expert but a few
moments to ascertain that communities
ton in San Francisco beyond the ferry
building was entirely cut off. Not an
instrument responded to his efforts.
Turning his attention to the wires ex-
tending from the end of the pier to
the various stations leading out of
the state, Jeffs found that they had
been hopelessly KILLED" by the great
shakeS
The seriousness of the situation
called for quick action, for, aside from
the great monetary loss to the compa-
ny resulting from even short inter-
ruption of the service, was the serious
ness of being cut off from the outside
world. Securing an engine, the wire
chief started out from the mole, and,
climbing poles at intervals along the
way, tested the wires to locate the
break. In this way he covered the en-
tire pier until he reached the shore at
West Oakland. Here, at pole almost
at Lands End, after calling on each
dead wire separately, he at last re-
ceived a response from Sacramento,
and knew that he had at last found
the point Of severed communication.
Perched upon thirty-foot pole Jeffs
gave the capital the first story Of the
disaster sent out by wire at $3.50
o'clock in the morning. In quick sue
cession, by means of relays, Los An
geles, Salt Lake, Denver and other
places heard of the calamity that had
befallen the metropolis of the Pacific
coast. For eighteen hours Jeffs stuck
to his lofty perch, trying with the pa
tience of Job to straighten the tangle
in the mass of wires with small set
of testing instruments he had obtain
ed at the pier. This was heroic
task, for the mighty sway Of the trem-
BILE had brought the wires together, ty-
ing them up in great confusion.
Jeffs was not . hero in the ordinary
sense Of the term. He did not save
any lives. He was not in the life saw
ing business. He simply did what he
saw as his duty, and such a display Of
loyalty to his employers and to his
duty to the public is worthy Of notice
and praise.

AMERICAS PROSPERITY.

According to recent report Of the
Bureau Of Statistics the United States
now stands at the head of the world g
great exporting nations and third
among the nations as an importer.
Henry Clews in his weekly letter says
that our foreign trade is increasing at
an almost record breaking pace and
also refers to the continuance Of the in.
dustrial activity and the enormous or.
ders for steel rails being placed by the
railroads. He says:
''The imports of domestic products
in April were SLOT, 100000, or $12,O00,.
600 larger than year ago. In fact,
they have only been exceeded three
times. Our exports in April were $144,-
100000, or Sic, 100000 in excess of last
year. This leaves the trade balance
for the month $37.000,OOO in our favor,
compared with s33,O00,OOO year ago.
For the ten months of the fiscal year
the excess Of exports over imports has
been s467 SOC, 900. or s12s,0Oo,OOo more

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The republican county convention
held in Ottumwa last Saturday was
without a precedent in Wapello county.
The story of the convention is accu-
rately and faithfully told in the news
columns of the Courier. The result is
well known. The Cummins delegates
held separate convention and two
contrasting delegations will go to the
state convention from this county. The
committee on credentials for the state
convention will pass upon and deter.
mine which delegation shall be admit
ted to that body. This condition of af-
fairs practically eliminates Wapello
county from the gubernatorial cam.
paign because that question will be
settled before the Wapello county dele.
cation is permitted to vote. This is
an unfortunate situation and one that
is greatly to be regretted.
When Saturdays convention met
both the Perkins and Cummins forces
claimed a bare majority of the dele
gates, and no more. The only test vote
taken in the convention before the
withdrawal of the Cummins delegates
was on the question of adopting the
minority report of the committee on
credentials. This vote resulted 80
Cummins and 105 Perkins. The vote
by precincts as recorded by the secre-
tary was as follows:

decision regarding the type must be
made soon or further work stopped
until the type is determined. The
question is now one of the most i'm
portant to be considered by congress.
Regarding the danger from earthquake
the report says:
"The recent calamity that over.
whelmed one of our great cities, has
caused many forebodings. The asser-
ton that any particular spot in the
tropics is, exempt from all danger
from such convulsions of nature as re-
Gently visited California or wrought
great havoc near Charleston, S. c., In
1886, or changed the face of nature in
southeastern Missouri near the begin
ming of this century, would not be haz-
arded by any wise man. That the 18TH
mus of Panama Is not exempt, con-
clusively appears and we can have no
guaranty that the canal zone will in
the future be exempt from such dis.
aster.
"The canal structures that would be
most exposed to injury by the passing
of an earth wave or violent movement
of the earth's surface are the locks
proposed by the minority, whose walls,
many hundreds of feet, or even two or
three thousand feet long at Gatun
would, at least some Of them, be more
than Is feet high and entirely unsup-
ported on one side save for part Of
the height by water. II these walls
should be moved at all the natural and
probable result would be in their
leaking and SO prevent the closing of
the gates-an injury for which sug-
gestion of extra gates on hand would
be useless, for no one could guess the
extent Of the movement. But the most
likely effect of such shock would be
the fracture Of these locks, in repair
ing of which much time-months or
years-might he required, and thus
cause interruption Of traffic or the
abandonment Of the canal"

than year ago. Our gold imports in
April were $4,000, 900, compared with
$2,500,000 a year ago; and for the ten
months Of the fiscal year ending April
total gold imports have been $4,000
900, or $10,000,0O0 In excess of the
same time last year. These returns
demonstrate that the internal move.
ments are entirely in our favor
THE general situation continues sat
isfactory. In spite of occasional hest
tation the volume of business con-
tinues upon large and increasing
scale. Clearing house returns at lead
ing cities demonstrate this, showing q
gain of 18 per, cent last week and II
per cent the week before over the pre-
ceding year. Railroad earnings also
continue very encouraging. Fifty-six
roads in the month of April reported
gross earnings of $52,400,O00, an In
crease of nearly IL per cent over last
year. These are surprising figures in
view Of the disturbance caused by the
coal strike, which, however, may be
more seriously reflected in later re-
turns. Industrial activity continues I'M
abated. Enormous orders have been
placed for steel rails, some of them for
delivery as far ahead as 1907. There
are 100000 tons already on the order
books Of American rail mills, and other
important contracts are pending, which
will soon bring the total up to 1000, 900
tons. This means continued prosper
ity for the steel mills for months to
come. The railroads are certain to
consume large quantities Of material
not merely for improvements but also
for new mileage. The extensive out
lays by the Pennsylvania and New
York Central for accommodation of
New York traffic give some idea Of
what is being done in this direction.
Evidently these gigantic corporations
have unlimited faith in the future of
New York city, or such vast OUTLAWS
which cannot be Immediately profit
able would not be undertaken. Anoth-
er incident which attracted attention
was the announcement that the veter-
an railroad magnate. ]. ]. Hill.
would build a new Pacific railroad
through Canadian territory, accom-
panied by the intimation that he might
be able to cut the rates one-half. This
illustrates the rapid development OF
the continent"

A SEA LEVEL CANAL,
Chairman 9Th. Cong. Con
VIM. REECE, Secretary.

The senate committee on interoce-
anic canals has recommended sea
level canal for the Isthmus of Panama
and one of the reasons given for this
style is that an earthquake such as
destroyed San Francisco would render
a lock canal useless and suspend traf-
fic for considerable time. The claim
is also made that ships could pass
through the sea level canal in eight
hours and that half Of that time would
be required in passing ships through
locks alone. The cost of constructing
a sea level canal is placed at $3.50 ,0OO,-
600 and the cost of a lock canal at
s. 100000, while the annual cost Of
ltenance is estimated at 1,S40,O
the sea level and s2,33o,00O for the
K type. Construction ON the Pana-
canal is now at stage where a
