Billy Papke and light heavyweight

To CROSS

The Union Pacific franchise to
amend it's former grant to allow
1t to go across Fifteenth street
and put commercial bridge over
the waterway in addition to the
railway bridge, will be up before
the council for final action We'd
nesday night.
The only hitch in the deal is
due to the fact that the street
will have to be curved slightly
to the north if the change is made,
as the grade is such and the dis
lance so short the u. p. engineers
say they cannot get over without
this change.
As compensation for this. the
railway company agrees to build
a public bridge and extend the
Northern Pacific viaduct clear
across Fifteenth street to the other
side of the waterway.

Pope Plus Says France
Is Waging a War
With the Aim Of Undermining
The Basis Of Christianity.
French Catholics Begin Fight
Against School Policy.

Rome Nov. 18.-Pope Plus in an adj
dress to the French pilgrims, whom he
received today, declared that Franco
was making war against the church
with an aim of undermining the basis
of Christianity. Catholicism, he said
was suffering persecution by the
French government under the rretcXt
of the separation of state and church
This was proved, he added, By the eX-
pulsion of the order, the trials and
ccndemnations inflicted upon Cardinal
AndriCu and other bishops and the
threatened laws which would extend
official protection to irrcliSiouS teach
ers and bring about a state monopoly
OF the schools. France, which would
make the state the arhiter in religl-
Gus matters, was at the same time
lighting the French bishops who We're
faithful to the Pontiff.
These bishops We're not allowed, the
Pope said, to enjoy the liberty granted
by French laws to all free citizens,
hut on the contrary were inSulted, tried
and condemned for the sole reason that
they were courageously fulfilling their
apostolic duty. All this, the Pope said,
instead of depressing, must animate
Catholics to defend their religious
rights and he concluded his address by
urging the faithful to cling to the
episcopacy.
The Papal words are accepted here
as confirmation of the opinion that the
Vatican believes the struggle organized
by the French government on the
school question is intended to be de-
cisve battle for the complete efface-
ment of Christianity as a factor in the
rearing of children, or in other words
the suppression of Christianity in the
France of tomorrow. 1t is asserted
that the Vatican is ready to fight on
two questions, namely the denial of
legal acknowledgement of the Catholic
hierarchy and scholastic instruction.

PIG CAUSES FUN.
SqueaIs Brighten Guests of Hotel Un-
til Joke is Explained.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-For a time one
night recently good number of the
guests of the Palmer house and the
diners in the cafe of that hosiery
thought it was a murder. There were
shrieks and other SILVER producers.
Men in the lobby Strengthened out
their spines, women guests called the
clerk up on the phone, and bellboys
and porters ran in the direction from
which the sounds emanated. When
body had to laugh.
1t was juste pig-a small sucking
pig. The little animal, in a strange
environment, vocalized in diphthongs,
VS., and rs in such a strange way
that only those who hailed from the
rural communities recognized the
squeal.
Bob Conway of st. Louis saw the
pig in a window Of a restaurant, tied
up with a red ribbon and advertising
speciality. The pig had been secured
to immaculate cleanliness. Besides he
looked quite cute. Conway decided
he must have the pig. So he went in
and bought it.
Then he rugged up harness like a
shawl strap, put the sucking within,
and proceeded to the Palmer house
cafe to meet some friends. Among
them were Tom Kelley, the brewer,
and John Fitzpatrick, who makes a
special study Of hams at the stock
yards.
While Conway was en- route with the
pig, whose squeaks were muffted by his
hands, Costello, one of Conway's
friends, was perusing the bill of fare.
His eyes ran up and down and finally
settled upon Roast Pig with Apple
Sauce"
"Alec, you can give me some pig
with the apple sauce" unconsciously
remarked Costello.
"All right boss" sale Alec; it'll take
ten minutes"
When the ton minutes were just
about up in walked Conway with the
piggie incaSed in straps, SqCirmlng
and desiring to make some sort OF a
vocal protest, but his mouth was still
muftiel.
Conway hoisted the pig TO the table
and put it down on Costello's plate.
"Have some pig?" laughed Conway.
Thereupon the pig uttered one large
and commodious squeal. When Con-
way finally put the sucking down on
the floor there were a number of STAG
cato yirs, Fowls, and porky wines.

forth each time he was lifted from the
floor-which was often--and in the
short space of a few minutes the cafe
was filled with hotel guests, all an

laughter when the piggie was discov-

CONCRETE III CHlNh-.
instruction CT Swatow Houses Show
Hundreds of Years Use.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-ConSul a. w.
Pontius, writing from Swallow, emma,
demonstrates once more that there is
nothing new under the sun. The Am
erican idea that concrete is a Yankee
invention and that reinforced concrete
construction is a trick of modern en-
cheering, is thoroughly exploded. The
whole thing was plagiarized from Chi
ma without quotation marks.
Mr. Pontius says the construction of
houses and walls of concrete is an in
dustry peculiar to Swatow. The work
was instituted several hundred years
ago, and the absence of any buildings
or walls constructed of brick is con-
elusive proof of it's stability and last
ing qualities. The industry originated
with a French priest, who constructed
one of his chapels of this material.
Very small pebbles or shale. sand and
lime are the ingredients of which the
material is made. The mixture. after
being thoroughly Incorporated, is
slightly moistened and then pounded
IN rough wooden mold which is ele-
waited in runway supported by firm
~ set poles, and in spite of the crude
methods employed a height of 60, feet
can be easily reached. When the walls
have been constructed all supports are
removed and the concrete is for some
days exposed 10 the air. To this eX-
posure is its characteristic solidity SOLE
ly attributed The walls vary from Il
| to Is inches in thickness, and the cost
Of construction is considerably less
than brick work. The thickness of the
walls give absolute guaranty of fire.

years ago are conclusive proof of its
strength and durability. No instance

THE VALUE OF PROPRIETARY
MEDICINES

is proven by the very large percentage
OF physicians prescriptions for the

written in Latin, few patients realize
this fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegs-
