Great Indignation is being expressed

Great indignation is being expressed
throughout the country at that part of
the speech of Secretary Taft at the
tomb of General Grant On Memorial
day, which charged Grant with too
much fondness for whiskey. Mr.. Taft
tries to quiet his critics by explaining
that he wished to emphasize Grants
eventual triumph over temptation, but
his enemies retort that he was not at
Grants tomb on Decoration Day to ex-
tort abstract moralities from alleged
facts, but to celebrate the military
achievements of the great general. 1t
is probable that Taft was throwing a
sop to the prohibition sentiment, which
has become so intense that as a candi-
date for President he thought he could
hardly ignore it. But, Mr.. Taft, like
other politicians before him, has dis
covered that the Prohibition issue is g
two edged sword and will wish he had
| let it alone. -Allamakee Journal.

oELwE1N BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY EXPANDS
Branch to be Established in Waterloo
Opening September 1st--Will Oc-
cupy Third Floor in Fowler
Building.

At the earnest solicitation OF the
Commercial Club and Board of Trade
Of Waterloo, Iowa, Professor r. e.
Ek]und has been Eprevailed upon to
open branch school in that city Sep
TENDER LIST.
The new institution will be known as
the Waterloo College of Commerce and
will occupy the entire third floor of the
Fowler building, corner of Fourth and
Lafayette Streets. This is one of the
best locations for Business Training
School in the city of Waterloo, as it is
opposite the Street Car waiting room.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Oelwein Business University, owned
by Mr.. Eklund, is one of the largest,
finest, and best equipped business train
ing school in the state, it has been ap-
parent for some time that it's ever in
creasing patronage and growing popu-
larity demanded an enlargement of its
present quarters or the establishment
Of a branch school.
Our wide-a-wake sister city, Water
loo, has taken advantage of the situa-
ton and is to be congratulated on in
ducing Professor Eklund to establish
his branch school in their city.
The Waterloo College of Commerce
will be conducted on the same hig
plane as the o. B. U. and with Professor
Eklund at the head it is an assured
success. Its equipment in every depart
ment will be modern in every way, in
Guiding the latest office devices. The
method of instruction insures thor
ough business training to all students
enabling Mr.. Eklund to place all gradu
ates in Office positions, with the assur
ance that they will be thoroughly com
tent.
The branch school at Waterloo vii
be under the efficient management o
Prof. H. o. Davis, principal of the Ad
vanced Bookkeeping and Office Practic
in the Oelwein Business University
Mr.. Davis has been associated with tn
o. B. U. for several years and is es
ceptionally well qualified for his ne
position.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to lear
that Prof. Eklund intends to continu
his residence in Oelwein and direct h
efforts to the enlargement and bette
ment of the Oelwein Business I'm
versity.
With these two high class Bushes
Training Schools Mr.. Eklund will b
better enabled to fill the ever increa'
ing demand for his graduates and W
earnestly advise all young people d.
string business education to after
one of these colleges. Oelwein Recor'

meets beggar on the streets and, af-
ret hearing hard luck story, drops
money in his hand, not knowing
what till the money may fall into. OF
course the beggars should be fed, but
no one is under obligation to give a
beggar money to buy whisky or drink.
If we mad an organization with
competent officers all applications for
help would be carefully considered
and all donations be worthily be-
slowed. With such society in active
operation an object of charity would
seldom go undiscovered. 1 am sure
all the business men AID churches
of our town would support a society
organized and at work for the relief
of the destitute.
| suggest that the ladies, all the Ia
dies, of Roswell meet at some con-
venient place in the near future and
organize a charity society. The ladies
have the time and are well qualified
by nature and practice to do such del
icate aid worthy work. If the ladies
will undertake the work, / pledge my
help in all possible ways, and l am
sure all other pastors of the city will
do the same.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
LIVES LOST IN FIRE.

Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 14.-When
daylight dawned the full extent OF
last nights fire when the opera house
burned was fully apparent. The list
of dead is placed at $50 and the in
jured IS. The exact number killed
may never be known, for among the
victims were some strangers who
may have no relatives to trace their
fate 1t is estimated that there were
four hundred persons in the play
house when the tank which was be-
ing used in connection with the pic
ture exhibition exploded Instantly
some one yelled fire. and in mo-
ment the center of the opera house
was a blazing furnace. The rapid
spread of the flames was caused by
the upsetting of the coal oil lamps
used as footlignts, by persons on the
stage who endeavored to allay the
fears of frightened children and qui-
eft the audience. Men lost control of
themselves and fought with women
and children who composed the great
er part of the audience to gain the
street. The weaker ones were pushed
aside and in the mad scramble tram
pied to death in the stairways. Scores
of persons on the second floor risked
their lives by jumping from windows
and several of them were killed.
Boyertown is a town of about $500
people, and there is scarcely a nome
in the place not affected by the dis
aster- The entertainment being given
was an amateur performance for the
benefit of st. Joh1S Lutheran Sunday
school. When the explosion occurred.
there were at least thirty boys and
girls on the stage and behind the
scenes. The flames first consumed
the scenery, then spread through the
house. A great wave of suffocating
smoke dropped men, women and chill
dren in the path of the fiames then
burned their bodies. Had the men all
remained the loss would have been
small. The fire was not brought under
control until early this morning AS
sistance came from Reading, Potts
town and Cecil.
About fifty members of the state
constabulary came over from Read
ing today. The work of removing bo-
dies from the debris will be hazard
Gus. When the rush was at its height
the front floor gave way, precipitating
many persons to the basement These
bodies are buried beneath cIlarred
wood and brick from the walls.
In addition to the opera house, the
Farmers National bank, a store and
several other buildings were burned.
The property loss is $4,000.

NATIONAL WOOL
GROWERS CONVENTION

Helena, Mont, Jan. 13.-Delegates
to the 34th annual convention of the
National Wool Growers Association.
which opens here tomorrow, are ar
irving. 1t is estimated that pver $500
members will be present at the ses-
sions.
The first days session of the con-
Vention of the National Wool Grow
erS Association was characterized
by bitter address against govern
ment regulation of the public range,
by Thomas F. Walsh, of Helena. a
stockman, lawyer and lately Demo-
cratic candidate for congress He
criticised especially the action of the
administration in putting into effect
what is known as the license system
of grazing upon forest reserves. The
attendance at the convention is the
greatest i nthe history of the Asso-
citation. After the invocation formal
addresses of welcome were made by
Governor Toole and acting Mayor
Lindsay, Frank J. -Hagenbarth, of
Idaho, responding. The usual commit
tees We're appointed, followed Dy the
annual address of Vice President Viii
son, of Douglas, Wyo., VINO congrat-
ulated the association upon its pros
porous past and bright future. Walsh
then addressed the convention. He
asserted that efforts were being made
to befog the public mind on The real
issues, and held that the policy OF
forest preservation was not at stake
He said the people of the West had
gratefully accepted Roosevelt's ad
ministration, but felt that they knew
better what is better for their own
good than does ne or any department
clerk He declared it was paternalism
gone mad TO charge that the cattlemen
do not know their own interests. The
session closed with an address by
Governor Brooks, of Wyoming on op
en- range
