Sir.-You deserve :ne thanks OF the
people for your editorials on the fee
system and on the amendments pro-
posed to the Constitution You deserve
the more thanks because you must be
aware that you are antagonizing
glad to see that a change of editors
has not changed the fearless stnnl OF
your paper.
do not assert that all county ON
Gals concerned will be offended at
your loyalty to the public good, and
hope that some of them will come OUT
and indorse your views, for they must
see the justice Of your position.
The only rational argument the. Off
Gals can use on their part in favor
should make officers more efficient.
But this is not always the case. A
long term in Office sometimes makes
them more careless; and they cannot
seriously think that their places can
not be worthily filed.
The fee system. as opposed 20 a
known reasonable salary, has no
ground to stand on. Every rational
person wants to know. and has right
to know. what he pays for service. and
1t Is not square deal unless he dues.
There is no room for argument there.
Every tendency to establish an Off
cial class and to waste money on 1T
should be vigilantly watched and ac-
lively opposed by every SOUu CtlfLeH
and by the press.
After all. apathy on the part of the
people is our great peril and tile prime
cause of ali of our :lls and we thank
your paper for all 1t mas done in times
of danger to remove it. CITIZEN.

question is why should she have taken
that particular ship, but we may re-
call that in those far-away days there
could hardly have been many vessels

New York, but the fact that special

STOMACH DEAD; MAN LIVES.

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress af-
ter eating and Indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial

from Indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-

into it, and make it sturdy enough
to digest a hearty meal without ar
tifciaI aid
The best prescription for Indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
e ywhere and by Dodson's Pharmacy,
and is rigidly guaranteed to build up
the stomach and cure Indigestion, or

This prescription is named Mi-o-nA,
and is sold in small tablet form IN
large boxes, for only so cents. Remem-
Der the name, Mona stomach tablets.

dents that give quick relief (other than
strong digesters), but they are COM

TO FLY OVER ATLANTIC
IN THREE DAYS
DirigibIe Balloon to Be
1000 Feet Long.

London, June 15.-An airship which
is to fly from London to New YORK
already las been designed and is ex-
pected to be ready for its first fight
in twelve months.
It is to be 1000 feet in length, 60
feet in diameter, will be worked by
sixteen propellers and will have
lifting capacity Of IS tons beyond -
own weight
The designer, Baron Roenne. is a
Russian. bat the airship is to be built
By British workmen and tn British
materials, within ten miles Of London
and owned by an exclusive British
company.
It is to be a rigid dirig BILE, Wits All

To be the Pioneer.
This is to be the pioneer of a feet
of such Brit sh airships. influential
men are considering the formation Of
a company to promote tie building If
an aerial navy and the establishment
Of a passenger and mail service.
Baron Roenne has mapped out the
routes and charts, and he has drawn
up rough time tables for the mail and
passenger service.
The journey from London TO Berlin
and back will. for instance, occupy
SO hours.
''"his calculation" he says, allows
for strong head winds of a velocity OF
50 miles per hour. OF the eight me-
tors with VIII CHI each airship will pc
provided, only four, five or at tae
utmost six of 4em would be kept
working at a time, thus enabling them
to be kept in perfect order.
This is tie beginning of Baron Ro-
enne's scheme. He has mapped ont
a passenger service from London to
New York.
SeTenty-TWO Hours to Cross the Sea.
I fancy t viii take about y
hours to cross the Atlantic" he said.
That, of course, allowing for head
wind of about So miles an hour. I
shall make TIE trip as soon as my
first ship is built to show that it is
feasible"
Other services proposed are from
London to Paris. Vienna, Rome and
st. Petersburg.
With regard to his scheme for pas
senger and mail services, he has omit
ted no detail. Each vessel will carry
200 srst class and 220 second class
passengers. AS an earnest of Baron
Roenne's intention it may be stated
that a tract of about a hundred acres
OF land for the erection of aerial sta
tons and docks has already been Sc
cured, and that worknen will short
iy be employed day and night upon
the construction of the first aerial
liner.

HEART or ST. JOSEPH
HAS BEEN STOLEN
American Suspected of
Stealing 1OIie Relic.

Rome, June 15.-An outcrp against
American stealing of works of art
is again ringing throughout the PENN
sula. This time, also, the "crime"
has been committed not far from As
coIi, where, as readers will remember.
was stolen tie famous cope of Pope
Nicholas, which was bought in good
faith by J. Pierpont Morgan, who
generously returned t to the Italian
government without asking the re-
funding Of what he had paid
What caused the present agitation
IS the disappearance from Leonessa
of the heart OF St Joseph, which was
preserved there in an artistic and his
toric silver reliquary OF course, it
is not the heart of ST. Joseph, the
father of the Virgin Mary, but Of
another saint born in Leonessa in
l5a6, who was a Capuchin monk, and
who suffered martydom at the hands
of the Turks.
The faithful are Mortified at the
theft OF the sacred relic and art low
ers by tie loss of The precious casket.

over 50 pounds, and chiseled by a pu-
pi of Benvenuto Celini. 1t stood 3

Farnese, and was mother of Alessan-
dro Farnese, afterwards Pope Paul
III The reliquary had an inscription
referring to the Farnese, and Cardi-
nal FaFnese's coat of arms, consist
ing of six lilies.
The heart of st. Joseph was pre-
scented in the seventeenth century by
Prince Orsini to the Capuchins of
Leonessa, who preserved it in a rali-
quarry given in 1916 by Cardinal Fran
cesco Maria Farnese. An old inven-
tory attributed to this work of art a
value of $3.50, but it is now consid-
cred priceless.
When in 1863, the bill was passed
suppressing religious orders in Italy
the Capuchins had to leave the mon
astery in Leonessa, so the people
transported the relic, for which they
had a deep devotion, and the reliquary
to the Church of ST. Joseph, where
a special altar to receive them had
been erected. There they had been
all this time enclosed in a niche which
had not been opened for thirteen
years until the thieves took the mthe
other night. The popular mind immc-
diately decided that the theft could
have been made only with the idea
of selling the booty to some rich Amer
lean, and urgent demands are being
made by the authorities that the gov
eminent investigate in I'd United
States and obtain at any cost the re-
turn Of the stolen treasures.
