YOUNG MEMS
REPUBL |(1AN
CLUB MEETS
Holds Enthusiastic Session
Which Is First of a Series
of Meetings Another Is
Scheduled for Tonight
VIII Be Important Factor.

me Young Mems Republican club of
Hammond held meeting last night in
the Lake superior court room. which
was wen attended in spite of the fact
that II was a stormy evening
And tonight the club is coming right
back with another meeting in the same
place. Last night the old officers were
reelected and tonight the question Of
ward and precinct organization will be
taken up.
With but twenty-one days left until
election, the plan is to improve every
minute Of that time in the effort to
stamp Becker and Beckerism so fiat
that It will be a negligible quantity
after the election If the club has it's
way.
The meeting tonight is sure to be a
hummer. The meeting last night was
a warm one after things got stirred
up and in the future there are going
to be things doing in the ranks of the
Young Mems Republican club.
In the last national campaign the
young men We're an important factor.
and in the coming campaign they prom
ise to be even more of factor. To-
night it is necessary that there be rem
resentatives present from every ward
and precinct in the city and through
them 1t is expected that the real work
OF organizing the club will be taken
up
MacAIeer and Reiter Speak.
Last night City Chairman William
J. MacAleer made a speech, in which
he outlined what he expected the
Young Mems Republican club to de.
Speeches were made by others. includ-
ing Judge Y. 5. Reiter, Fred Friedlev.
Attorney T. q. Sproat candidate for
city Judge; Bill Newman. candidate for
alderman t-large: W. f. Bridge. Thos.
Jordan, H. z. Granger and President
r. z. Woods.
In view of the fact that there is
very little time in which the meeting
tonight can be advertised, all of those
who We're present last night were asked
to notify their friends of the meeting
this evening.
There is much to be done and every
young republican in the city will be
given some work during the coming
campaign if he wants it. 1t is probable
the young republicans will hold at least
one important meeting of their own
during the campaign and others may
be held.
The meeting tonight is the next inn
portant step.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE
Excellent Musicale Given at Central
M. E. Church.

The Epworth League musicale,
which was held at the Central M e.
church on Tuesday evening, was an
unqualified success. 1t was. wei
worth much more than the small price
Of admission. The audience which
comfortably filed the main auditorium
was evidently bent on having good
time, for they encored practically
every piece. The program given was
the same as published in the Hreald
on Monday evening, with the excep'
ton of the solos by Mrs. H. w. Hurt,
who was called to Illinois by the SICK
ness of ier mother. Her place on the
program was taken by Miss EtheI
Hunt, who took the difficult place or
substitute most acceptably. The pro
gram opened with fine organ re

was particularly pleasing. And from

MARCH WEATHER.

According 10 the monthly review
just issued by the government service,
March in Iowa will go on record as
furnishing an unusual variety of wealth
Ter conditions. The first six days of
the month were mild and pleasant but
most of the remainder of the month
was cold with frequent snow and rain
storms, accompanied by thunder and
lightning and brisk to high winds. The
snowfall in the central and northern
counties was exceptionally heavy, and
exceeded all previous records for
March at several stations. The low
temperatures also broke all former
records for the second decade of the
month in the north central counties
and the severity of the thunder during
the snow storm on the 9th was phe-
lnOmenal. The average temperature
for the month was slightly below the
normal, yet at the central station there
was an average daily deficiency of six
degrees during the last % days. The
only days between the Sth and 31st
on which there was an excess were the
22d, 23d and Gath. The I'D was the
warmest day of the month when the
maximum temperatures ranged from
4J degrees in the northern to II de-
grees in the southern counties. The
lowest emperature for the month at all
stations was recorded on the 18th and
was generally below zero in the north
ern districts, the lowest being 10 be-
low zero.
The average precipitation for the
state was 1.53 inches, which is O.3g
inch below the normal. The greatest
amount, 800 inches, occurred at Per
ry. Dallas county, and the least, O.2S
inch, at Denison, Crawford county.
The greatest amount in any twenty
four hours, 200 inches, occurred at
Humboldt, Humboldt county. on the
It'll. The average snowfall, unmelted,
was 9.S inches, the average for the
three sections being as follows: North
ern section, 1875 inches; Central sec
ton. 9.5 inches; Southern section, So
inches. The greatest monthly snow
fall, $40 inches. occurred at Perry,
Dallas county, and the greatest twenty
four hour amount,2O.0 inches, occurred
at Humboldt on the 7th.
The average number OF clear DAYS
was IL; partly cloudy, IL; cloudy, 9.
The duration OF sunshine was below
the normal, the percentage o. the pos-
sible amount being So at Davenport;
40 at Des Moines; IS at Dubuque; 50
at Keokuk; and SIS at Sioux city.
Northwest winds prevailed. The
highest velocity reported was As miIe.i

City, on the 18th.

COAL DUST HeALTHFuL.

Richard Williams, the sage OF Ollvet,
has always maintained that work in
coal mine is no more injurious to
health than is work at many other
Trades and professions, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the labor is performed
in the dark and away down beneath
the surface of the earth. And Dick
ought to know as he has worked in the
mines practically all his life. Though
dust is considered conducive to tuher-
|culosis, coal dust seems to be an eX-
Iception to the rule. Mr.. Williams
claims that after being out of the
mines, for several months he has ex'
perforated coal dust that undoubtedly
was lodged in his lungs all that time,
without any injurious effect. He at,
tributes the good health enjoyed by
miners who do not indulge in disSipa-
tion to the three facts, namely: the
miners work exercises every muscle
and nerve of the body, the modern sup
ply of fresh aid by artificial. means,
and the daily bath which the nature
of the work makes necessary.
In line with Dicks" reasoning
comes another theory, revolutionary in
character to the principles laid down
by physicians and health authorities.
w. p. Rend, a coal magnate, in reply
to an address of the secretary of the
Chicago Board of Health, maintained
that we have been all wrong in our
opinion of the hurtfulness of smoke
to health.
Take the coal operator" says Mag
nate Rend, who is at all times breath
ing, not only smoke but coal dust also.
His lungs are black with both, and yet
ne is one of the healthiest men in the
world. In all my experience among
coal operators know of only one who
died of tuberculosis.
THE carbon in the smoke is a boon
to health. As the smoke ascends the
carbon contained in it kills the germs
of every kind OF disease and purifies
the air. 1t is this that this new class
OF reformerS' would do away with"
While these views of the matter may
be some sOlace to the fellow who finds
his lot in life cast in the mines, the
beneficial effects of coal dust will not
appeal very strongly to the general
run of humanity or be sought for very
as a panacea for the great
white plague.

Mexico and served throughout the
war, marching from Iowa south into
Mexico and westward to Los Angeles,

Records showing that Iowa's mill
tary record began in the same year in
which she was admitted to statehood
have been uncovered for the frs
time in the war department at Wash
ington and are now in the possession
of Col G. W. Crosley, who is in charge
of the work of compiling the roster
of Iowa soldiers and sailors soon to
be published by the Iowa Na-'onal
guard.
Historians knew that Iowa had fur
nished troops for the Mexican war,
but how many or who they were was
never known until Colonel Crosley
received the complete record OF the
Iowa Mormon battalion of six COM
panies and OF Company K, Tenth I'm
tied States infantry, which was re-
cruted entirely from among the resi-
Company X of the Tenth Regular
infantry was recruited from Keosau-
qua, Fort Madison, Muscatine (then
Bloomington), and other towns in
Southeast Iowa and was commanded
by Capt. Edwin Guthrie who was
wounded with others of mis- com
mand at Pa La Mega and died a few
weeks later in Mexico. The records
show that many other members OF
the Iowa company fell in battle or
died in hospitals in the city of MeXi,
CO.
The oth,r six companies which re-
presented Iowa in the war were re-
cruited fir IN Mormons who had reach
ed Council Bluffs on their westward
journey in search of a land where
they would be free from prosecution
They were called the Iowa Mormon
battalion and comprised about 600
young men.
The records show that none of the
Mormon battalion was killed in ac'
ton, but they marched the entire dis
lance from Council Bluffs, where the
battalion was mustered in in July,
1916, 10 Los Angeles, Cal, where it
was mustered out just a year later.
Records show tnat one member of
the battalion died on the Rio Grande
river, indicating that they marched
south into Texas and what is now
New Mexico and thence westward to
Los Angeles, then small Mexican
pueblo.
After being mustered out the re-
cord shows that many drew travelling
allowances from Los Angeles over
the old Mormon trail to Salt Lake
City, then just laid out by Brigham
Young. Others settled in California
and few found their way back to
Iowa.
The records will add materially to
the completeness of the roster, which
is to include the names and records
of all Iowans who saw service from
the earliest Indian combat to the
close of the Philippine campaign.

THE MAKING OF A CITY.

What the Hawk-Eye in the following
|article says of Burlington may be ap'
piled with equal force to every other
city in Iowa:
There are indications of a very ell
couraging growth and development in
Burlington in the immediate future.
New Enterprises are being launched
and old ones are making a steady and
rapid growth. And Burlington is be-
ginning to take notice of this growth
of Burlington enterprises and to &C
cord it the necessary assistance and
Encouragement,
Long years have committees and
secretaries corresponded with all sorts
of eastern concerns, that were willing
to move to the west, always provided
that all sorts iof6 inducements were
held out to them. All such PROPOSE
greatest care, and then, as a rule
they ought to be rejected. The out
side concern that wants to come 10
Burlington must see peculiar advan-
tages here. Otherwise. any conCes-
siOns that might be made, any bonus
that might be offered would not be
worthy of notice. A concern does not
simply want to move, but it wants to
live and to take root and to grow and
to flourish, and if the conditions for
such growth arc favorable in Burling-
ton, then the eastern concern ought
to be glad to be allowed to come here
without demanding all sorts of conces,
sions.
The thing that has been the max.
ing of Burlington has been the small
manufacturing plant, the small bust
ness house, that has enjoyed a healthy
and natural growth, that learned to
stand before it began to walk and that
walked long and slowly and carefully
before it began to run and to advance
by leaps and bounds. There are, no
doubt, number of smaller institu-
tons in Burlington that are destined
to become big ones, and the wise, pub
lic-spirited Buringtonians, who are
looking forward to bigger Burlington
and better Burlington and a richer
Burlington and more progressive
Burlington. will keep an eye on these
and will lend them help
ing hand and will encourage them in
every way possible.
Burlington has heretofore invested
very heavily outside of Burlington,
and not always very wisely. If all
the money that went into get-rich-
quick schemes, into bogus oil wells
and into mining ventures of doubtful
value, into coffee plantations and or.
ange ranches and all sorts of similar
Speculations, had been put into first
class enterprises in Burlington. then
we would have made of Burlington
what a famous industrial commission.
