Special to Hines hepuUllCdI.
Dubuque, July Iowa is to have
a new industrial and reformatory in
stitution, patterned OIL the lines of the
state school at Eldora, but in charge
of religious organization.
Thru the efforts of Very Rev. Fa-
Their Heer, of ST. Mary's church and
the generosity of Archbishop keane,
Dubuque is to have a Catholic Boys
Home. Archbishop Keane has given
the old rock seminary and 500 acres
of land adjoining it at Key West to
be used for such home.
Father Heer, who is deeply inter
ested in boys work, has had the pro-
ject in mind for some time, and at
the retreat of the priests of the dio-
cese held at St. Joseph's college dur
ing the week, presented his plans be-
pledged Father Heer its support in this
most worthy undertaking.
Archbishop Keane put the seal of
approval upon it, when he announced
that he would give the old seminary
at Key West and 600 acres of land to
be used for the home. The new home
will be used for neglected and incor-
rigible boys, where they will receive
a religious as we'll as a physical and
mental education. Father Heer has
faith in all boys, and is confident that
will good, sound, healthy moral
training. many will be saved, to be-
come useful citizens. He will imme-
diately begin the work of opening the
new home, which will receive boys
from all parts of the country.
Father Heer has not yet determined
upon those whom he will place the
home In charge Of but it will be a
religious order of men, probably the
Brothers of Mary, who are in charge
Of ST. Mary's high school.
The old seminary will be remodeled
so as to make it habitable for the pres
ent, and later when the need demands
it, more commodious and modern
home will be erected. The 600 acres
of land will make the home self-sup-
porting, and the boys will be taught
farming and also other trades for which
they may seem most adapted.
The horne, while under Catholic SUI
pervision, will be non sectarian. Faith
er Heer has with him interested in the
work several Of the Catholic laity,
among whom is Mrs. John 1. Mullany,
whose work in the past in the interest
of children is well known.
Father Heer is to be congratulated
upon his ,lntiring efforts to bring about
the establishment of such an institd-
ton where homeless and neglected lit
tie ones will find home, and thus not
only bodies but souls will be saved
from destruction

Waterloo, July 1.-The saloonkeepers
OF Waterloo are now paying their gas
and electric bills. The official meter
reader" of the Citizens Gas & Electric
company is passing thru course of
training these days which is calculated
to develop him into a successful aero
bat, fit to appear els q contortionist
in bespangled tights in the saWdust

the Times Republican detailed some Of
the, troubles of this young man who
was unable TO get to great many
of his meters because the easements
of the saloons in which they We're To-
Gated We're made inaccessible by an or
der of the district court. The meter
reader spent several days and saw sew
eral dozen people while endeavoring to
find some way by which he could get
into the Easements of the saloons for
the purpose of asce,rtaining how fast
the wheels have been going round dur
ing the past month.
Somebody in lucid interval had
a happy thought, which has partially
colved the trouble of the official
meter reader" as we'll as the saloon
men. In a few saloons liquors have
been placed in the Easements by means
of an outside basement window. Thru
these small openings have been tobog-
gained kegs and cases Of beer and liz
uor in jugs. When the hole was not
darkened by an original package it was
eclipsed by the elongated form of the
Official meter reader" 1t was awkward
business. but anxiety to read the
meter overwhelmed any shock to his
dignity. The base nent where liquors
are brought in thru an outside window
or door cannot in any manner be con-
sidered a part of the saloon, and so it
may transpire that the official meter
reader may enter all OF the easements
in which the meters have been clicking
lonesomely for several days.
