Homes of the Church.

Since the year following it's organization
the church has taken pride in its houses
OF worship and each OF the three buildings
that It has occupied have been centers for
educational and other progressive move
ments in addition to those emanating d.
rectly from the church.
The first building was erected in 1856
at a cost of $500. part OF which was fur
nished by the Congregational union, part
resulted from the sale OF one of the church
lots and the remainder was supplied by the
congregation and townspeople. The build

U. s. Naval Force on Asiatic Station,

to submit the following report of the oper-
atoms OF the squadron under my COM

American sympathy for Cuba.
The excuses and outrages incident to
the instruction in Cuba stirred the peo-
pie of the United States to the heart. and
developed a strong sympathy for the
Cubans. The demonstration OF the in
ability of the Spanish TO put down the
Instruction and maintain a permanent
peace in Cuba showed the condition to be
hopeless and engendered a strong desire
in the people of this country to end a
situation felt to be intolerable For some
reason II was thought advisable by our
government and that of Spain, both OF
which were averse to war between the
two countries, TO send naval vessels to
exchange visits of courtesy. Many, in
Official as well as private life, desired
war between the two countries, though it
is believed that the two governments
were sincere in their attempt to avoid It,
Many Americans desired to make war out
of sympathy with Cuba, many to put an
end to the intolerable restraint exer-
cised by the condition Of perpetual, war

heroes-George Dewey,-who will proba-

distinguished themselves in military or

but that little Is to the effect that he is
quietly but eficiently doing his duty and
doing it well. According to the old
maxim young men for action. old men
for counsel" the admiral is sitting as the
president OF the naval general board; and
none can say that any other officer is
today performing more valuable service
for his country. We have at hand the
ofhcial correspondence OF the Navy de-
partment with Commodore Dewey at the
time of the Spanish war, and all Of il
is interesting. Some of 1t will be recog-

usual Official courtesies being exchanged.
But the return visit of the armored cruiser
Maine 10 Havana resulted in a tragedy that
made the war inevitable. The Maine was
destroyed at $40 p. m, February 10. There
was a strong and almost general belief
that the work was due TO Spanish assassins,
but the Navy department decided to con-
duct such an investigation as would leave
no chance for reasonable doubt. A

ton having been described by witnesses,
and the absence of all circumstances which
necessarily accompany the explosion of a
torpedo having been proved by these VIII
nesses and experts, 1t can only be honestly
asserted that the catastrophe was due 10
internal causes.
Before the report Of this board was made.
the investigation OF the United States naval
court of inquiry developed unquestionable
evidence that the explosion was due to
external agencies-that large mine had
been exploded under the bottom of the
ship at about frame Is and somewhat on
the port side OF the ship but It was at
tempted to keep secret the discoveries of
the divers and the investigation was con-
tinued and completed. OF course the Navy
department knew that war would neces-
sarily follow the publication of the evil
dence OF the divers or the findings OF the
court, 50 that complete advantage as
possible was taken of the intervening time.
Arrangements for the purchase Of war
ships in Europe were begun in February.
1t was necessary TO purchase some vessels
in order that Spain should not get them,
and even then Spain did better than We,
for she got the fine new Argentine armored
cruiser that as the Cristobal Colon crossed

Dewey's Tremendous Task.
We know now that Dewey's task was
easy as far as the first of May was con-
cerned-the result of the first of May de-
pended upon the previous preparation Of
the squadrons-but neither Dewey nor any
body else anticipated that II would be
easy; and even after the first OF May he
was almost constantly threatened with at
tack by forces nomnally superior to HIS
own-hrst the Germans under Admiral
Diederichs and then the Spanish squadron
under Admiral Cam7Ia, which started out
for the. reconquest OF the Philippine seas.
The question of the F1lipinos-the insur-
rectos-was another Of the thorns that
made his bed poor one for sleep. At first
Aguinaldo imposed upon his susceptibility

Piers or jamestown Exposition.

Plans were recently approved by
General Mackenzie chief of engineers.
and the secretary of war for two great
piers which are to be constructed at
the Jamestown exposition, says a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune. The piers, to be built in con-
nection with each other. Will extend
500 feet from the exposition grounds
into the waters of Hampton Roads. To
Gether the piers will be 600 feet wide.
One OF them will be known as God
speed pier and the other as Susan Con
slant pier. The plans were drawn by
the architects of the exposition and
were revised by Captain Cosby of the
engineer corps Of the army. The con-
tract for the construction of the piers
will be let at the earliest possible date,
as the work should be completed not
later than May ! next. Considerable
dredging will have to be done in the
water in front of the exposition
grounds, as it is too shallow now to
permit of the landing Of vessels OF
even medium draft. The piers com
plete will cost about 100000. They
will bear towers equipped with wire
less telegraph apparatus, and the en-
tire piers will be brilliantly lighted by
electricity

THE SQUEALING PIG.
Too Much Content n1ent as an Aid to
the Cholera Plague.

the Cholera Plague.
We have been very free to advocate
the policy of feeding farm animals lib
orally under practically all circum-
stances. OF course on a subject of this
kind it is impossible to make sweep
ing statement that is applicable in de-
tail to animals of all ages.
During the next two months there
will be heavy losses due to cholera or
swine plague. These diseases, although
not as common as thcV were formerly,
are breaking out here and there
throughout the central west. There
may be a difference of opinion among
men as to whether the disease can be
checked when it once gets into a herd
or not, but all will agree that the best
policy is to keep it out if it is at all
possible.
1t is a sensible thing to feed growing
pigs or even hogs lightly when there is
cholera or swine plague in the neigh
borhood. The squealing hog is usually
healthy hog, and, while it is practi-
cable to feed little grain every day
along with pasture so as to keep young
pigs growing WELL at the same time
comparatively little grain will do the
work.
A Typical Instance.
The method of handling and the con-
duct of a bunch comprised of 80 pigs
that We're swept away by cholera q
month ago may be taken as a typical
instance showing how the disease
takes hold when conditions are favor
able. These pigs were fed about all
the grain they would eat while suck
ing. and they were kept on what is or
dinarily called heavy feeding after they
were weaned. AT no time were they
equal to the task of cleaning up the
troughs at feeding time, though some
eating up everything that was placed
in the troughs. They were satisfied SO
far as the feed was concerned, and,
as the owner expressed it after they
were swept away with cholera. they
never knew what it was to sQueal"
We believe that this was a case where
they We're overfed, their digestive sys-
tenn being thrown out OF order by the
extravagant use of food. This was
followed by conditions ideal for the
development OF disease when the germ
became lodged in the system. We do
not say that hungry vigorous hogs will
never take cholera, but we do believe
that in nine cases out of ten keeping
them active and not supplying much
tide them over-Iowa Homestead.
