natl. Mr.. Taft sometimes attended
the German Lutheran Sunday school
and among his most valued advisers
are several Baptists Of prominence.
On more than one occasion the Sec
retary has accompanied President
Roosevelt to the Dutch Reformed
church in Washington. The Men
nonite faith and the doctrines Of the
Reformed Presbyterians seem to be
the only religions that our next
president has overlooked. but as
both of these sects are opposed To
exercising the elective franchise
perhaps there is some wisdom in his
madness.

4 His majesty, the stork. made a
mistake and left daughter instead
of a seventh son at the home of
Judge A. 3. Wallis last Saturday
morning. The young lady is Of the
bouncing baby girl order. too. and
tipped the scales at eleven and one
half pounds. The calculations Of
the Judge. or rather of some of his
friends. have been interferred with.
rs plans had been perfected to or
ganize Wallis baseball nine. with
six candidates already available.
Strange. very strange, how the best
laid plans Of some men gang after
gee whatever that is.
At a special meeting of the city
council held last Saturday night.
four bids were submitted for the
construction of the concrete culvert
near the Santa Fe subway east of
town, one each from George H.
Nichols, w. F. Myers. William Cash
and the Pueblo Bridge Company.
The contract was awarded to George
II. Nichols. his bid Of II cents per
cubic yard for the excavation and
S5.45 per cubic yard for the con-
crete work being the lowest. II is
estimated that the cuIvert will cost
in the neighborhood of SI400. Mr..
Nichols promised to have the culvert
completed within thirty days after
the site is staked.
Congressman Sherman. who has
been given the second place on the
Republican national ticket. is a
prominent business man of Utica,

years in congress and is one of the

views with an extensive knowledge
Of public affairs. He is 4 warm
friend and supporter of the Roose-

when completed. will be used to ir-
rigate 400 acres of land lying just

Under their contract. the plant
must develop capacity of 1850 gal

Doesn't the fact that every republic

Dan to Beersheba has been howling
for months for free wood pulp prove
that the tariff is going TO be-
revised? It also proves that the
tariff is local issue. People who
expect to be financially benefited
by a revision Of the tariff are in
favor Of immediate revision. and
those whose interests will not be
conserved by tariff revision are OPP
posed. And there you are-with
democrats and republicans on both
sides Of the fence. The tariff is a
strictly business proposition and
ought to be eliminated from politics.

from the island of Jamaica today with
the announcement that the Knutsford

secure the racing which would Ordt-

east will be left this winter withous
any track, said De Lisser, "and that the
only track in the country in the winteE
months will be that in California ThS
Knutsford park people believe that they
will be much better able to handle tha
work of the eastern racing stables than
can California. 1t costs $1,000 a car
to ship horses from New York to Cali
fornia, IL horses in a car. and only $30
each-$36O for 12-to send horses from

ated from New York by several hours
difference in time. Jamaica by only
seven minutes; so that the poOlroom9

operate in proper hours on the Jamaica
races
