 FEATURE.
(Ffom Sundays Daily.)

That the drilling contest will be among the most important features of the Labor Day celebration in Hum. boldt, as it was in this city during the Fourth of July festivities, is now as. sured from the liberal subscriptions pouring in to Herman Schwanbeck, chairman of the committee having the matter in charge, who, with a number of others, realized from the start that the amount set aside by the general committee was entirely too paltry n sum to induce first class drillers to en. ter the contest. X number of the busi. ness men and citizens of the Shelter City have already called on MT. Schwanbeck and made generous sub. scriptions and the mechanics of the several departments of tine shelter are also subscribing literally. A few days later the double and single handed prizes will be announced as we'll as the rules or the contest.
 Committees having other features of the celebration in charge are busily en. gagged arranging the different details of their work. A half-mile track for the horse racing and broncho riding is be. ing graded. There are several entries for the races and it is hinted that there will be some surprises when the races are held.
 Two teams for the tug of war are being organized and are already prac. ticins for the pull. A cash prize of $50 has been added for this event in addi. tion to the barrel of beer first offered.

SANTA rE NOT GUILTY.

What did the president of tho po., Island railway system mean whcn ,. declared "thc railroads are done v;,l politics." and "we often felt bo,o,. now that 1t was inadvisablc to ,.l, hand to oppose the legislative mea,n,o and political action.n
 This question has been agitatiny ,h. railroad presidents of Chicago, wao do. clare there must be some mis,ol. They cannot believe that prcsde,, Winchcll made the staten,ents ,cc,.ar ted to him before the Greater n.. Moines committee.
 F. P. Ripley, president of the san,, Fe. said:
 "There has been more or less ,sI, of railroads being in politics, but nine. tcnths of it is tommy.rot. The sa,,, Fc has never been in politics and I do not know what you mean by the term lobby. .
 "1t is commonly supposed. ',wa, .,. plained, "that the railroads had men at the legislatures who were paid to pre. vent adverse Legislation" !"
 70, guess some of them had me, who kept track of those things" he answered, "but the Santa Fe usu,,lv lets the legislatures do what tasv please. If anything comes up which we think will hurt the Santa re. ve the officers, demand a hearing. We have never tried to control or direc. Legislation, nor have we ever tried to elect any public officials or to defeat any others. We have never engaged m politics, and I do not know that any other railroad has done SO. If they have they had better get out of it right away"

The New York Sun says that old Ra. meses II was the boss advertiser of the world. This is hardly believable, for even if he did scratch of the names of other kings and put his own on temples already built, as the Sun claims, he ne failed to erect a monument aSethe mouth of the Nile saying that he dug the stream, and no first class advertiser would have overlooked n bet like this If he was doing all the other things tho Sun charges. The chances are tnat the Sun is mistaken.

by the ladies of the parish. Neither eX-
pense nor work was spared by them.
Easter lilies and sweet carnations shed
their perfume in honor of the Risen
Master. while bright-eyed sisters smiled
loving thoughts of alteration. remind
ing Him silently of the kind hands that
had placed them on the altars. Nu-
merous potted plants placed in the
sanctuary added to the attractiyeness
of the decorations
At the morning masses no standing
room even was to be had. At the sec
ond mass, which was a "MiSs1 Can
tata,' the choir under the excellent di-
rection of Miss McGuiness, very ably
rendered the beautiful mass by Luigi
Bordese, the Regina Coli being sung at
the offertory. Father Dreyer gave an
excellent instruction, both i'm English
and French.
In the evening the discourse given
by Father Dreyer was on Lessons on
the Resurrection. Faith. Hope, Char
ity.' The altar looked its brightest for
the occasion. being artistically deco
rated with flowers and many candles.
