est advantage to the state. Some OF the
institutions burn slack and others can
use nothing but lump coal. 1t has been
the policy of the state in recent years

Des Moines will entertain the high
schools of the state in the state high
school athletic meet on Friday Of this
week. They will not likely hold the
meet here for next year. For years an
effort has been made to get the meet
away from the state university at Iowa
City. This year they succeeded and
the state university decided to hold an
invitation meet. They invited the
north Des NIoines high school along
with the rest and the north Des Moines
high school accepted ard went to Iowa
City. Just for that the north high Is
put down as a traitor and 1t Is freely
predicted that the other high schools
of the state will not stand for the meet
coming here next year They wish to
punish Des Moines for allowing north
high to go to Iowa City.

Antwerp, May 21.-The worst rail-
road catastrophe ever recorded in Bel
gium took place near Contich, six
miles southeast OF Antwerp, this NOR

Surgeons, doctors and nurses ar

der the debris, and the scene Is one
of horror that beggars description.

with dead and wounded. Everything
possible is being done to alleviate the
suffering of the injured. All the clergy
and physicians Of Contich and soldiers
from the neighboring barracks are
taking part in the work.

of the express train jumped the track
and plunged into and completely
wrecked the last three passenger
coaches Of the train on the siding.
This train was carrying an excur-
sionYof pilgrims to the local shrine.
Thirty eight Dead Removed.
UP to O'clock this afternoon thir-
ty-eight dead and seventy nine

kept the children at home.

;1,5oo,ooo PEACE OFFERING.
House Makes Big Appropriation fol
Toxic Exposition.


New York, May 21.-The, United
States will make a peace Offering to
the people of Japan of $1,500,000. At
least the lower branch Of congress has
already done SO and it is generally ex-
pected the senate will follow suit. BY
unanimous consent with both repubi-
cans and democrats showing the best
of good will, the house Of representa-
tives passed bill appropriating ST.
500 900 for the Japanese international
exposition Of 1910.
In view of the widespread talk Of
possible trouble between the United
States and Japan, in view of the. half
sensational gossip of an impending war
between the two countries that came
out in the recent debate on the naval
bill, this action is regarded as signifi-
cant.
Is a big appropriation for an inter-
national exposition a better earnest OF
peace than big appropriation for bat
tleships? This question was raised
and the lower branch of congress de-
cided, apparently. that the exposition
peace offering was the better invest
ment. 1t was distinctly stated by Mr..
Rodenberg of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on expositions. that as an
big exhibit of the resources of the
United States, the money would be
well spent.
He declared that big appropriation
for the Japanese exposition would en-
able the United States to show how
rich, how powerful a people we are.
And if there is any virtue in the argu-
ment advanced by President Roosevelt
in favor of the demonstration of power
made by our fleet in the Pacific ocean.
that the oriental mind is impressed
by what can be seen by the eye, this
earnest of the peaceful Intentions of
the United States would be the best
possible means of convincing the Jap
anese masses that we are the people
they do not want any trouble with.
1t goes without saying that the Japa-
nese are very happy over the generos-
ity Of the house Ambassador Takah-
ira said that the liberal appropriation
