The greatest automobile race
in history will pass through
Mo. Valley. On the first Of
June a large number of cars
will leave New York for the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific EXPOSE
ton at Seattle. N. Robert
Guggenheim, of Seattle, has Of
fered a $4,000 trophy and
SIS, 300 in prizes and will also
stand all the other expenses of
the race above $4,000 which
has been put up by the Auto
mobile club of Seattle. Mr..
Guggenheim is one of the most
prominent automobile sports
men of the country and will
have a couple of cars in the
race himself.
This race will be the great
est in history because it will be
the first time so many cars
have gone the distance. The
New York to Paris race covered
more ground but only a few
cars started and only two fin
ished. In the New York-Seattle
race more than a score of cars
will pass through this city on
their way to the exposition.
Two path finding cars will go
to work on March Is, one leaK-
ing New York for Chicago and
the other leaving Chicago to
cover the country west of there
and mark out the course. Sign
posts will mark the course from
ocean to ocean and the path
finders will also make arrange
ments for gasoline, hotel rates,
etc.

it is up to so'as of the young

lady in that city who says she
will not marry any man on
earth.

The New Administration.

Judge VIM. H. Taft is now the
President of the United States,
but we do not know whether
that fact is the cause of this
beautiful weather or not, but
one thing is certain, lie, the
weather is most beautiful here
in western Iowa.
We have read the Inaugural
Address of the new President,
and feel glad to say, that we
regard it as a very plain, able,
and concise statement of what
he considers his duty, as Presi-
dent. to carry out, according to
party pledges made to the peo-
pie during the last political con-
test. This is a healthy sign.
His remarks on the race ques-
ton are certainly to be COM
mended, and if carried out, will
to a large extent, remove the
race question that has distacted
the people of both North and
|South ever since the Civil War,
by one section from prejudice
by the other for party advan-
tage, both sides impracticable
and rulnous to the peace and
harmony of the country. The
race question is, as he says, a
delicate one, and as we have
different races, the only thing
to do is to make an effort to ell
Ievate all the people, both white,
red, brown and black, and thus
remove roe prejudica, to a
large extent, making qualifiea-
ton the standard of position.
We hope to see the day when
the people of the North, South,
East and West, will again be
one people, living under one
flag, and all striving to rise to
| the position of true Americans,
mot only in name but in fact.
That political parties will ex-
st, as they have always existed
Is true, but now we have a man
lin the Executive Chair, chosen
by the tree choice Of the peo-
pie, and while he was not cur
choice, he is no less the Pfesi-
dent, and entitled to credit
for every good act performed,
and when the time arrives for
another election, "let US lick
our Hints and try it again." but
until that time let us be willing
to give "honor where honor is
due" This is our country, it
is your country, and a wrong
done to any one section is a
wrong to the whole. Let us all
SO act as to promote the honor
and glory of our common coun-
try. leaving for the future the
political con est that has been
settled for four years by the
election Of VIM II Taft

Reopens Church a Thousand
Years Old

Years Old
London Standard: The an
Gent church of st John the
Baptist at Midborne Port,
which is the first mentioned in
Domesday Book, has just been
reopened by the bishop Of Bath
and Wells, after being restored
at cost of 91,28O, without any
damage to its historical inter-
est and associations. The
church was granted by William
the Conqueror, with 12O acres
of land, to Relnbald, who had
served Edward the Confessor
as chancellor or prime minister.
1t was probably built under the
later Saxon kings, but the pre-
else date is uncertain. The
fine peal of eight bells which
had not been rung for forty
years owing to the dangerous
state of the tower, were once
more merrily pealed on the oc-
casion of the reopening, the
tower having been rendered
quite secure.
The city man is deserving his
old haunts for the farm. Fro n
the bank, the store, the factory
there comes the demand for
lands in the open country. The
immigration and colonization
departments of the railroads
interested in settling up the
great Southwest prove this as
sertion. Each one of the last
twelve months has brought an
increased number vf inquiries
from the commercial and indus
trial centers of the United
States. Where formerly more
than so per cent of the inquir-
les regarding land came from
the village postofices and the
rural free delivery routes, now
nearly one-third are from men
in the larger cities. Seek s
after the cause of this grow g
tide of emigration from the
hum and hustle of city life to
the restful repose of the f;s' m
find several reasons assigned.
Perhaps the one thing most
prominent before those seeking
the new mode Of life is the as
sertion, which has come from
several investigators of labor
conditions, that more than 80
per cent of the inhabitants of
the larger cities are just three
months from starvation.
To make clearer this last
statement, such reports say
that nine out Of ten men living
in the large commercial and in
dustrial centers would be ready
for the bread line within three
months if they should lose their
positions and be unable to OBJ
tain new ones. Statistics show
that this nine out of every ten
would exhaust their savings
within thirty days after losing
their positions, that they would
exaust their borrowing power
within another thirty days and
that still another month would
place them face to face with
abso ute starvation or in the
baggar class. Record Herald.

VIM. III. !ensler Dead.

This community was greatly
shocked on Sunday morning, on
hearing tie sad news that VIM.
II. Fens!er he'd dialon Saturday
evening at 1920 O'Clock. The
news fell upon the people like a
fire bell at night, coming so UNI
expected. Up to g short time
before the death angel called
him he had been al his store
attending to business as usual.
The deceased was born in
Bluffton, Ohio, August 22nd,
1852, and came to this city with
his parents in 1878, and after
finishing his education at Ames
College, he accepted q clerkship
in the store Of Ellis Bros, and
soon after commenced business
on his own account, and has
been in business here until the
present time, being in the Cloth
ing business at the time of his
death.
He was united in marriage
with Miss Nettie Lewis, in Blair
Nebraska, May 9th 1879, and
three children are the result Of
that union, as follows: Mrs. w.
McCulla, Of Cherokee, Iowa
and Miss Bessie, and sou Fred,
of this city. He also leaves a
wife and 5 brothers, 2 of which
live here. as follows: w.
C., and Frank Fensler; his sis
tiers are Mrs. A. Edgecomb, of
Omaha, Mrs. Frank Wilson, of
Kansas, and Mrs. Fenlynson, of
Blair, Nebraska.
During the lifetime of the
deceased he filled many impor-
tant public positions in city,
school and county, being Presi-
dent of the city library. and an
important member of the Com
mercial Club. In every position
he proved himself worthy the
confidence placed in him by his
fellow citizens, and but few
men of this city could be more
missed from the social or bust
ness circles than the deceased.
He was energetic in bushes,
and accumulated a comfortable
amount of real and personal
property and ever ready to as
sist in every measure calculated
to advance the best interest of
our city and county.
The funeral will be held from
the Presbyterian church, Tues
day, at 2::30 p. M, the K. P.
Lodge having charge, also, a
the Omaha Elks will be present.
Burial in Rose Hill Cemetery.
The sympathy Of this entire
community goes out to the wife
and relitiyes in this hour of
sorrow.

Lawrence Drain, Donald Mac

entertained about twenty-five
young friends Friday evening
at the home of the former on
seventh street at an unusually
pleasant party. Various amuse-
ments, chief among which was
a riddle guessing contest, for
which the best "guesser" re-
ceived a prize, made the even
ing pass all too quickly. About
eleven o'clock, an elaborate sup
per, (the menu of which the
boys planned themselves was
served by the young hosts"
An unusually clever idea was
carried out in getting partners
for supper. Each boy had
made an apron and a tie to
match, and after the aprons
had been given to the girls, the
boy who had the tie which cor
responded claimed the young
lady as his partner for supper.
At midnight the merry COM
pany dispersed after voting the

ever between the Mohammedans and their

existing in India, real. effective and truly

Having this all-important aspect Of
class representation in view, and guard

1t will be satisfaction to the Moham-

as possible with their non-Moslem coun-
trymen. Both these objects are looked
upon by the Mussuimans as essential for
the proper adjustment of the balance OF

Senator Money of Mississippi wants the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution
tested. This amendment regulates the
franchise and has been construed to au-
thprize the reduction by Congress of the
congressional representation of states
which deny the voting privilege to some
of their citizens. 1t has been invoked
frequently by the authors of bills reduce
ing the representation of southern states
because negroes in those states are not

Mr. Money has INTRODUCED resolution

available relative to the method of adopt
ing the amendment lin an appropriate
proceeding, so that said court may review
the same and determine whether said
amendment is valid and binding"
