Movement in st. Louis
Monday,

st. Louis, June 3.--During the last
week of May the National Prosperity
association carried on canvass with
employers to have June 1 recognized
as Employment day. by the restora-
ton Of employees who were laid off
because of the recent depression. AS
the result Of that canvass favorable
answers were received by the associa-
ton from several hundred employers
in this vicinity, and it is conserva-
lively estimated that 1880 names
have been added to the pay rolls in
St. Louis and on the east side Of the
Mississippi. including East st. Louis
and Granite City, comparison being
made between the number employed
May 1 and the showing of the pay
rolls beginning June 1.

Prominent People Wed.

Observation-Disclosures evening at Ost'
kaloosa, James Johnson and Miss
Flora Bowden were united in mar
rage by Rev. e. Allen, pastor Of the
NJ E. church. Their marriage was
complete surprise to all Miss Bow
den worked for the j. Harper & Co.
dry goods firm until the evening train
to Oskaloosa was due, not saying
word to any of her friends. Miss
Flora Is the Oldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jim Bowden Of North Sec
ond street and has lived in Eddyville
about eight months. but has lived near
here for several years and Is highly
esteemed by large circle Of friends.
For number of years she attended
the schools at Oskaloosa and is an ac-
complished young lady. Mr.. Johnson
Is the second son of Mr.. and Mrs.

the corner of North Second and Bers
dan streets, and has lived here most
all his life, being well known here

formation of line of march to the
graves Of the dead soldiers and strew-
ing of flowers. The line halted last at
the grave Of Frank Kimball, who had
for over 20 years marched and played
the tenor drum for the post in its
Memorial services. The markers OH
the graves consist Of steel flag on
which U. S. stands out plainly.
The monument which is monster
cannon weighing 15 tons, stands on a
rock base like it was when in action
during the war and with its balls be-
side it, looked very war like, but be-
ing covered with flowers showed
peace. Eldon people are very much
in favor of the changing Of Memorial
day to the last Sunday in May, for
the reason that it has been practic-
ally shown that on that day every
body can turn out and as the services
are not interrupted by bail games,
peanut and lemonade stands, nor is it
violating the laws to strew flowers
on the graves of your friends.
The cemetery was clean and very
few graves on which flowers were
missing. The people Of Eldon love
the resting place Of their friends and
loved ones. They keep their last rest
ing place nice and clean. One other
thing was shown very plain and that
was the concrete walk from the CEN
ter Of the city out for half mile, built
by subscriptions from the corporation
line, but not quite finished.
All in all Sunday was day long to
be remembered. Hundreds of people
from the country and surrounding
towns were present, making the gath
ering a great one and the largest ever
seen in the cemetery.

MAY BE SEE CITY.
Changes Bright for the Coveted Order
at Des Mones for
Bjshop

Des Mcines, June 3-The movement
to have Iowa redistricted so that Des
Moines may become a see city of the
Roman church, with a bishop, a
cathedral and theological institutions,
gained great Roadway with the visit
of Bishop Davis of Davenport to the
capital city recently. While no note
was made of the prelate's trip, it was
practically admitted that his confer
ence with Monsignor Flayin bore
directly on the promotion Of Des
Moines to the position of bishopri-
cal diocease.
Monsignor Flavin declared that the
redistricting of the state is but a mat
ter of short time, and that the matter
is now hanging fire on the state of
Archbishop Keanes health. Nothing
will be done toward the elevation Of
Des Moines until the archbishop re-
covers entirely or is conquered by his
illness.
The advantages to Des Moines were
the city elevated to see Of the great
church, would be great 1t would
mean the building of a great cathedral
and the establishing of theological and
and other institutions of learning, and
a great Increase in the number of
priests. Records in the past also
show that the establishing of a see
necessarily brings many Catholic resi-
dents to the city who would otherwise
not change their places of residence.
1.-THE project has been discussed
many years" said Monsignor Flavin,
"but at present, chances for the estab-
fishing of see in Des Moines look
brighter than ever before. At present
Des Moines is hardly in position to
support bishopric, but of course
would be when the state is redistrict-
ed SO that we would be given part of
the diocesal territory of Davenport,
Dubuque and Sioux City,
The priest declared that his trip to
Rome, which was planned for next
month, has been Indefinitely post
poned. He refused to discuss his reso.
luton to stay in Des Moines in rela-
ton to the movement to have a bishop
brought to the capital city, nor would
he definitely connect the postpone
ment of his trip with Archbishop
Keane's illness.

Little Rock, June 8. - Attorney
General Kirby, who recently was ask
ed by woman if she would be violat-
Ing the law if she wore overalls when
not disguised as a man, has sent her
the following opinion in the case:
There is no statute in the state Of
Arkansas prohibiting woman from
wearing 'overalls' when she does not
disguise as man. 1t may be that the
wearing of them by woman is some
times desirable, since there Is time
for all things but personally and in
dividually hope it will not become
a prevailing style"

FAST WALKING HORSES.

The gait OF the horse is whatever
it is made in the training. When
breaking or training the youngster is
the time to set his pace, and he is
slow or fast walker accordingly
when grown to service. This is a
matter that should be we'll consi!
cred. The fast walking horse will
do one-half more farm and road work
than the ordinary speed of training.
One-half reaches back to the man, or
sometimes several men depending on
the walking speed. and in these days
of scarce ard high priced labor ii
counts up rapidly against the farmer.
1t is also said that reapers, mowers
and other farm machinery perform
better work when drawn by rapid
walking horses. So it is readily seen
that the matter of training colts and
young horses is Of no small consid.
eratiCn. Trainers say that it is about
as easy to train the colt to a fast
walk as to a slow pace.-lndiana

MOLASSES AS FOOD.

Experiments with molasses as A
cattle food have been attended with
rather contradictory results at the ex-
pertinent stations. The Maryland Sta
ton finds that the addition of mo-
lasses to a ration has tendency to
increase the digestibility of both hay
and grain feeds, also it makes the
feeds more agreeable to the animals,
and acts as an appetizer, making 1t
more valuable than its analysis alone
would Indicate The Massachusetts,
Station. on the other hand, finds that
the addition of molasses lessons the
digestibility of the ration, and is in
clined to give the molasses and mo-
lasses feeds lower place than the
analysis would indicate. The expert
ments even at the Massachusetts Sta
ton were somewhat contradictory,
some showing increase and others de-
crease in digestibility. as a result OF
