such knowledge, in my opinion, is
this: The knowledge of what IS man,
what his surrounding world, what MIS-

must do and principally what he can
not and must not do.
wherefore, we should oppose capt.
tai punishment by intoxicating this
knowledge in all men, especially to

At one we halted long enough for
our guide to point to a frame Of
bones and remark "That was my
uncle" One curious fellow of our
party lifted the lid of one of the
collins to see if any remains were
inside but dropped it quickly, re-
marking Eyes, he's there!"
AS we steamed away in the even
ing the great Cunarder along side
which we had anchored was all
alive with the more than two thous-
and emigrants for America, for
the band on each ship was playing
responsive, popular airs to the
other amid repeated cheers. The
sunset on Sicily and pretty Paler-
mo was an impressively beautiful
sight.
We next anchored in the famous
Ely- beautiful bay of Naples in full
view of Mt. Vesuvius which was
smoking at that early hour in the
morning. Indeed the smoking vol
cano burst on my sight just in
front of the rising sun. Our ship
was able to dock so near the shore
we walked down the gangwav on to
the wharf. During the afternoon
we drove about Naples With its
we'll paved and narrow streets some
of which were on the mountain
side and occasionally adorned with
statuary and monument, but occu-
pied most of our time viewing the
Aquarium and the National Muse
UNI. Naples is the largest city in
Italy and the Museum, hardly ex-
celled by even the British Museum,
contains the finest statuary in Ita-
ly and the most interesting relics
from Pompeii. The Aquarium dis
plays its contents the best of any
in the world. 1t contains speci-
mems Of every variety of fish and
sea life found in the Mediterrane-
an ; the delicate but stinging ane-
none, the electric fish, the flying
fish, crabs, Holsters, sea serpents,
the octopus and many others. The
United States joins Germany in
sharing the expense of maintain
ing this unique exhibition.
Our visit to the ruins of Pom
peii seven miles from Naples was
by railroad train past the very foot
of Mt. Vesuvius and the ruins of
Herculaneum. The first sight of
the ruins Of the buildings along the
streets suggests cow-sheds, for the
walls of only the first story remain,
save here and there an exception.
But the streets though narrow are
paved with we'll laid and well worn
stones, ruts showing the wear OF
wheels and the fountains the YEA

of art are still to be seen though

The weather of the past week
has been favorable for corn and it
has made g wonderful growth, but
it has been rather unfavorable for
small grain. The temperature has
ranged from 80 to SO in the shade.
While the small grain has not yet
suffered to any great extent, it is
now at the stage where it needs a
good supply of moisture, and if
dry, hot weather continues for a
few days longer the yield will be
shortened.

Only one member OF the local lodge
has died within the past year, Mr..
James Brown of Memo.
Mrs. W. C. Brown. president of
the Methodist Aid society, got a
telephone message yesterday, from
the president of the society at Trip
warming her to look out for a man
and woman who had just worked
their society for six dollars. The
man claimed to be a minister who
had been called to Aberdeen to
take charge of some church work
but when he got there he found he
was not suited to the work. He
and his wife we're therefore making
their way back to Sioux City and
had run out of money. The socie-
ty gave them money to buy their
tickets, but later learned at the de-
pot that the tickets were bought
only to Scotland. Sure enough
they soon showed up here and at
tempted to work the same graft.
They first called at the parsonage
but Rev. Wilcox was not at home
so they went to Mrs. Browns. At
ter listening to their smooth story
for a while Mrs. Brown began to
question them about their doings
at Trip. At first they were en-
phatic in denying that they had
stopp ped at Trip at all, but an ap.
peal to the city authorities soon
quickened their recollections, and
from their we'll filled purse they
gladly refunded the Six dollars tax
en- at Trip and promised to lose
no time in getting out Of town.

Judge Batson.

We have heard great many persons
say that Mr.. Bingham the defeated re
publican candidate for Judge of the
Court of Appeals. ran a remarkable
race against such good raan as Judge
Shacke!fo:d Miller. One waV tn ac-
count for this race is that Judge HO-
mer w Batson, one Of the very best
and smarteSt lawyers in the whole city
of Louisville WAS chairman Of the re-
publican campaign committee, ana
through his capable management and
hard work, Mr.. Bingham ran a much
better race than if he had been with
out such an efficient chairman and Or
ganiZar. The Louisville Times has
the following to say along this line:
Former Circuit Judge Homer w.
BatSon was the chairman Of the Re
publican Campaign Committee and
Robert W. Bingham. the Republican
nominee for Judge of the Court OF Ap-
peals, was an aggressive fighter. I'm
doubte oily they were the leading spirits
in making the organization. Demo-
Gratis are giving them and their aSsOci-
ates due credit Judge BatSOn has al
ways been known to be an exceedingly
able man but his cleverneSS along lines
of organic alton was not suspected. As

back i'm the olden days when that pair
was such terror to the Democrats"
Along this line the Evening Post has
the following to say: ''Judge BatsOn's
work was confiued to the task of Or

fall upon a chairman Of campaign
committee in a hard-fO.ght contest.
