THE GENERAL INTENTION FOR
DECEMBER.
recommended by His Holiness Plus x
The Spiritual Welfare of Soldiers.

The Spiritual Welfare of Soldiers.
throughout all the varied life of the
church there is no class of her chill
dren who more need spiritual help than
soldiers: but who thinks of the souls
of those who fight their country's bat
Ties and guard their country's honor?
Yet the spiritual dangers OF military
life are very great. All types of men
throng the camp. Under the shadow
of the flag the believer and the un-
believer, the depraved and the virtuous,
the adventurer and the patriot all find
employment intermingle, and are influ-
enced by hteir varied environment. And
This influence is usually evil. The licen-
tiousness of camps is proverbial. The
result is that the soldier must combat
not only his own evil inclinations, but
he opinions, the example, the ridicule of
his fellows. And if it is difficult for the
civilian to tread alone the narrow path
of duty how almost impossible will 1t
become where the priest is an unknown
or an unwelcome guest?
Therefore we pray that God will in
crease and multiply all that aims at
the moral uplifting and spiritual safe
guarding Of our soldiers. This will in

There are 100000 children in actual
attendance at the parochial schools of
the country. Allowing $40 per capita for
the education of children-a very con-
sentative estimate-Catholics are saw

per annum. This, however, is but one
item. We are supporting $4,000 orphans
at a cost of six or eight millions more.

CANYON ROAD BONDED
Securities Equivalent to $4,000 a
Mile Issued to Make Neces-
sary Extensions.

The Emigration Canyon railroad,
leading from Mt Olivet cemetery up
Emigration canyon to the summit, is
now bonded for $4,000 mile. and the
issue of bonds may be increased accord
ing to the extended mileage of the road.
To secure this bond issue, LeGrande
Young, president Of the road, and it's
principal stakeholder. has given a mort
gage on the property, taking up the
original mortgage of 100000. The rock
properties in the canyon, also owned
by Mr.. Young, are decided over for
100000 to further secure the issue of
bonds.
This transaction came to light yester-
day when a trust deed was filed with
the county recorder. Hyrum s. Young
and Arthur Winter are made trustees
for the bonds.
Under the previous arrangement
through which the deal was financed
two years ago, 200 bonds were issued,
the extent of the issue being 5000. 0OO
The company, however desired to make
the bond issue dependent upon the
roads mileage.

Not more of light, 1 ask, o God,
But eyes to see what is;
Not sweeter songs, but power to hear
The present melodies.
Not greater strength. but how to use
The power that 1 possess;
Not more of love, but skill to turn
A frown to a caress.
Not more of joy, but power to feel
It's kindling presence near;
To give to others all I have
OF courage and of cheer.
Give me all fears to dominate,
All holy joys to know;
To be the friend 1 wish to be.
To speak the truth I know.

Let us take note of this fact Let
us realize deeply that each life is q
strand of rope which reaches from
Times morning to Eeternitys, and that
the strength of that rope is determined
by the strength of it's strands.
Let US remember that no life can
be single; that even what we think
is a factor in the progress or back
sliding of others; that after all we are
only keepers of a vital influence which
is subject to Time nor Circumstance,
but is Gods power exerted through US.

may enter peace and life eternal

MAY WHEAT S|DE.TRACKED IN THE CHICAGO MARKET
But It Was Given Considerable At- tention in New York.

Chicago. April 10.-The May deal in wheat was side tracked today to make way for the more distant futures which advanced more than three cents a bushel in consequence of liberal pur- chases by leading bulls. At that the prices were 11a to SA cents above the final quotations of the proceeding session. Corn closed fiym.
 The top for July was reached at s1.15. At the same time May sold up to s1.26 and September to SLOTS. This was a gain during the day for July of 3is cents, a low point of s111h being recorded early in the session. The market closed excited and strong with July $1147s sd1.15. Final quotations on May were s1.25ss G $, below the best mark of the day. September closed 3% cents higher at s1.O7&.

A TARIFF BUREAU.

Washington, April 1O.-Something of the proposed tariff bureau, which has been the object of a great deal of study, was learned tonight, although plans for the establishment of such bureau will not be completed until other administrative features of the bill are reached. According to the present plans, the bureau will consist of a concentration of the bureau of manufactures and the bureau of sta tistics which are under the department of commerce and labor; the bureau of trade relations, under the department of state. and the customs division of the treasury department.
 It is intended that this concentration shall be placed under the head of the treasury department and it shall act in an advisory capacity to the presi- dent in the event of the adoption of Senator Aldrich's maximum and min imum provision for the application to the president, the senate committee deems it wise to formulate a bureau that would at all times be competent to act in an advisory capacity in the matter of administering the tariff law.

THE DUTCH EXPEC1ANT
 FOR THE THIRD TIME
An Heir to the Throne Regarded as
 Among the Probabilities.

The Hague, April 10.-The birth of an heir to the throne of Holland is confidently expected the coming week and if all goes well, the outburst of popular enthusiasm will be such as seldom has been witnessed among the placid Dutch. There has been no royal birth in the Netherlands since that of Queen Wilhelmina, twenty seven years ago.
 Thrice before, since the marriage of Little Wilhelmina," as the Hol- flanders affectionately called the queen, have the hopes of the country been raised, only to be dashed. The constant fear. of the Dutch has been that the House of Orange would die out with a childless sovereign, and that Holland would pass under the rule of a German prince and would thereby possibly become a German vasSai state.
 This partly accounts for the extra ordinary eagerness with which the event is awaited in every town and village in the Netherlands.

INDICTMENTS QUAsHED
Ruling Interpreted to Mean That One Cannot Be Con- victed of a Crime In Okla homa Unless Indictment Preceded Admission.

Tulsa, okla. April 1O.-Governor Haskell and other prominent Okla homans indicted by the federal grand jury, charged with fraud in the Mus kogee town lots cases, will not stand trial. The motion of the defendants to quash the indictments was upheld today by Judge John Marshall of Utah in the United States circuit court
 The court in a very lengthy opinion quashed the indictments on the ground that they were returned by a grand jury composed of twenty-three men instead of by jury of sixteen as is provided by the Arkansas law which was held to be in force in the old Indian Territory by federal enactment at the time the alleged frauds were committed.
 Following the quashing of the in dictments against Governor Haskell and others today, it was stated to- night that all the town lot fraud pro- ceedings will undoubtedly be dropped by the government. Aside from the town lot cases, eighteen persons in- dicted for various offenses under sim liar circumstances will go free under today's ruling.
 The government attorneys hold that under today's ruling not a single con viction can be secured for a crime committed prior to statehood. if the defendant was not indicted before statehood.

SENATE AMENDMENTS
 ID THE TARIFF BILL
They Will Be Numerous and In a General
 Downward Direction
Many of Them Will Be Made to Bring About a Consis- tency In the Schedules-t Is lntmated That the Fight Over Crude Petrolsum Has Not Yet Ended. The Matter of Hides Still Open

Washington, April 10.-The senate cerned was completed tonight, but it was decided that in making a report Chairman Aldrich will announce a reservation on certain important schedules for future action. These reservations will include hides, steel rails, wood pulp and crude petroleum. Aldrich asserted tonight that the com mittee had made a more general re- vision of rates than was done by the house committee on ways and means, and that reductions had been made on a far greater number of articles. This did not mean that there would be a reduction of revenues but that there would be recommended a bona fide revision downward of the tariff.
 The great number of changes are due largely to the fact that while the Payne bill revised rates on certain basic articles, the revision did not extend to related articles. For instance lead ore was reduced in the Payne bill and the several manufactures of lead ore remain unchanged. The senate committee made general reductions Tn the manufactures in harmony with the reduction in the unworked material Similar changes were made in many schedules. which will account for the many amendments which will be printed in the senate bill.
 In the report which will be made to the senate. hides will go on the free list as provided by the Payne bill, but the question of fixing a rate in accordance with the sentiment of the senate as expressed through a can vass taken by western senators will be taken in the near future.
 Protests made by heavy importers of gloves and hosiery against the in crease made by the Payne bill over the existing Dingley rates as well as protests made by hundreds of women. throughout the country. induced the senate committee to agree to recom-

mend a continuance of the Dingley rates.
 The demand for protection for long staple cotton, which comes into com petition with Egyptian cotton used in the manufacture of mercerized silk goods has been denied by the senate committee. This action was taken on the ground that the long staple cotton raised on the sea islands of South Car olina and Florida now brings a high price in the American market, and for the further reason that it would be difficult not to give like protection to cotton raised in certain parts of Texas and Mississippi, which is of compara- tive long staple. The present indica- tions are that the committee will re- port the bil to the senate on Tuesday next.

A FRENCH REVOLUTION
 MADE BY BUTTON MAKERS
The Troops Called Out to Put Down
 the Dissatisfied.

Meru, France, April 1O.-The strike of the button makers in Meru has entered upon a critical phase. All the department authorities are hur- rying here and endorsements of cavalry and gendarmes are coming by every train. Many arrests have been made. Negotiations have been futile and disorders broke out last night that recalled the revolution.
 Agitators came down from Paris and harangued the mob, after which the strikers stormed and wrecked four button factories and practically destroyed the residences of their en- ployers. The trouble arises from a reduction of thirty per cent in wages, made by the employers organization as a result of Japanese competition.
