ing on his way to breakfast. Mr.. Gil
man turned in a still alarm and a hose
cart from the station came. The fire
was quickly put out by the rapid work

FOR CONGRESS.

1t is time that the Democrats of this
district were picking out candidate
for representative in congress. Former
Congressman James w. Murphy is
especially fitted for the place; because
his congressional experience and his ac-
quaintance at Washington would make
him potential figure when the Demo
cratS organize the house of representa-
dySs,- as they will in the next congress.
3ft it is reported that he will not run.
Mayor Thomas L. Cleary of Platte
flle would be another good candidate.
BE has well earned reputation as a
progressive Democrat. very important
consideration this year. The Democrat
posed him once, when he was blowing
w..a, the men who were trying to raise
prices by way of free silver coinage.
Now we would support him with glad
ness.

DEDICATION
of St. Patrick's Catholic Church.
HOllandale.
VICAR GENERAL
KRAEM Err
Represented Bishop Schwebach,
and Had Charge of the
G Ceremonies.

The dedication of the new and beau
tiful Catholic Church in Hollandale
took place on Wednesday, May 25.
A vast concourse of people were pres
emit and the dedicatory services were
solemn and imposing.
The ceremonies were in charge of Rt.
Rev. FIR. Kraemer, Mgr, representative
of Bishop Schewbach, who was unable
to be present on account of sickness.
Vicar General Kraemer was assisted by
the following priests: Celebrant of the
Mass, Rev. FIR. Jas. Cleary of Perry,
Iowa, Deacon of the Mass, Rev. FIR. H.
II. McNulty of Argyle; Sub deacon
Rev. FIR. Chas. Mugan of South Omaha,
Nebraska; Master of Ceremonies, Rev.
FIR. L. P. O'Reilly of Mineral Point.
The sermon was preached by FIR. s. l..
Dowd of Dubuque, a native of Hollan-
dale. Besides the above there was in
the Sanctuary Rev. FIR. L. Luby of
Chicago, former pastor of ST. Bridgets
church at'R1dgeway; Rev j. A. Con-
don of Oregon, Wis, former pastor
of the Hollandale church; and the pas
tor of the church Rev. FIR. Barry.
The Chronicle, in its report of the
dedication says:
The sermon was well delivered and
deep in thought. The young priest
showed great talent. The Vicar Gen
ERALS talk to the people was full of
fatherly advice. His words were from
the heart and cannot but be beneficial.
The present pastor is native of Iowa
county, and is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Barry of Garrison Grove. Rev.
FIR. Barry has served his church in sew
eral important places, and a few years
ago was given the Hollandale charge
He is aman of commanding appearance
and pleasing manner, and an unusually
good pulpit orator. taatas.#

Reform Will Go On.

NJ er all, the awakened forces of a
: we political life were not dependent
Ipon keeping Mr.. Roosevelt for a second
term rs Governor. Neither are they
now dependent upon running Governor
Hughes for third term or keeping him
in reserve as a possible future leader
and reformer in the practical politics of
New York or of the nation. He has
lone what he believed to be his duty
with courage, and he has won even the
reluctant respect of his enemies. He
will give his best service to the country
on the Supreme Bench at a time when
his powers have reached their full
development. His immediate program
at Albany may suffer some set backs,
but if such program rested only upon
the force and conviction of one man
its equilibrium would be unstable.
There are many other capable and
honest men in both parties in the state
of New York; and those people of
reform sympathies who have been con-
tent to read the newspapers and let
Governor Hughes do the work will find
1t good for them to be compelled to take
a more active part. That sort of reform
which means honesty and decency in
legislation and government, regardless
of silly talk about party orthodoxy and
loyalty, may receive slight checks now
and then, but it cannot be really de-
feated. The details of primary cleo
ton law admit of many honest differ
ences, but the fundamental object of
purifying our political life is more
important than details.-From 1.-The
Progress of the World" in the Ameri-
can Review of Reviews for June.

The Oniunn Couch.

In the library of Chinese gentle
man the opium couch is as inseparable
a feature of gentleman's home as the
armchairs and cigars Of an American
den. Perhaps 1t must disappear now
before the prohibition campaign which
is being waged from Picking, or it will
remain under the innocent guise Of q
reclining reading table. as some inno-
cent globe trotters have described it.
Opium as used in the ordinary citi-
zen's private house is considered no
more a vice than tobacco with Ameri-
cans. 1t is the custom: that is all. The
host waves you to the couch for per-
functory Whit just as Americans be-
gin by offering guest cigar.

HIGH PRICED EXPERTS.
Specialists Who Charge Enormous
Fees For Their Services.

Specialists Who Charge Enormous
Fees For Their Services.
Z A great many people cannot under
stand why professional experts charge
such enormous prices for their serv-
ices-why an eminent surgeon, for ex-
ample. says Orison SWEET Marden In
Success Magazine. should charge So
600 or even $4,000 for single opera
ton or great law specialist like Eli
hu Root $500 for a few hours work
in cross examining witness.
They do not take into consideration
that the surgeon has spent years in
learning how to perform quickly and
efficiently the difficult operation which
saves life that might have been lost
In less skilled hands.
Much Of the training Of the special
list is to enable him to meet the un-
usual. the unexpected demand. The
surgeon trains for the rare operation.
the possible emergency. He knows
that there are times when it is know
ing what the ordinary surgeon did not
think it worth while to learn that may
save life. There are surgeons now
living who never had dozen emergen-
cy cases in all their experience which
called into play the utmost power and
skill Of which they are capable. but it
was these few extremely dangerous
operations which gave them their
great reputation and enabled them to
get enormous fees.
1t is not the good surgeon. but the
superb operator. the man who knows a
little more about anatomy. who has
little steadier nerve. a more acute
touch. little better education, that is
sought to perform the delicate opera
ton in the emergency when life hangs
by a thread.

The strange colony of people, hand
some horses, rare wild animals and
golden caravans are scheduled to ar
rive in the early hours of the morning
by their own special trains. Circus dav
will begin with grand glittering free
street parade, leaving the Show Grounds
at 10 o'clock noon. The Show has $75,
10000 tied up chariots, tableau floats,
musical vehicles. fanciful and historic
costumes, and expensive and odd things
OF distinctive parade use. It is now
well understood that the John III.
Sparks World Famous Shows carry as
many people. horses, wild animals and
show properties as any other show
travelling. The agent of the Sparks
Shows was in town, contracting with
the grocers, bakers, creameries, etc.,
for an immense quantity of food to be
delivered to the show grounds early
Sunday morning.
The whole world ransacked for it's
Arenic wonders this season, most of
these appearing in America for the
first time

The Size of Antarctica.

It is a somewhat curious fact, if it
is fact. that the last of the terres-
trial continents to be explored is the
largest mass of raised land in the
world. The concentration of attention
upon the south pole since Commander
Peary landed the other end of our axis
makes it highly probable that the ant
arctic antipode will soon be dangling
from some explorers belt. Incidental.
" the south polar continent will be
opened. If not to the settler, at least to
the mapmaker. We. already know
something of its fringes at a few
points, and Lieutenant Shackleton
pushed into it south of Mounts Erebus
and Terror for several hundred miles,
but the greater portion of its surface
is still terra incognita.-Collier's.

MEAT DUTY MUST GO.
ealtimors Butchers Insist That This
10 the Only Remedy.


Il the Only Remedy.
The Baltimore Butchers Abattoir
and Live Stock company decided unan-
imously at meeting held on April
IA that the only way to bring down
the price OF beef is to take of the
duty Of 27h per cent on live cattle and
allow Of free importation from Next
co, Canada and South America.
That is remarkable announcement
coming from the butchers. They hap
pen to be close to the people, and the
people naturally vent their anger upon
them, thinking that they are to blame,
but they positively state that they
make smaller profits now than when
prices were lower, declaring that the
beef trust reaps the advantage.
One Of the representative butchers
made the following statement:
1.-THE packers bought on shares last
fall. They were able, owing to exist
ing conditions, to purchase at rea-
sonable figure. Cattle food was at
that time high, and the cattle pro-
0uNCib WCA6 dAA4OuS uOI W garry Iu6AI
stock over during the winter. This
gave the meat trust the advantage Of
the situation, and the producers cared
for the herds ON provender supplied
by the trust during the winter"
The association will again meet
shortly, and it is its intention to take
the matter up with Maryland's rep
resentatives in both houses Of con-
gress. In this action it will have
the bulk of the consumers with It.
It is well seen by this time that the
duty Of 271A per cent on live cattle
and the duty Of ~ cents per pound
on fresh meat do not benefit either
the consumer, the farmer or the butch
er, but only the trust.
When the matter is brought before
congress it will be interesting to see
who are the congressman who repre-
sent the trust rather than the people.

WHY TAFT F ALL s J..

One reason why Mr.. Taft does not
make good president is that he is not
progressive. In some lines of political
thought he is many years behind well
settled public opinion. In an interview
with the President, by George Kibbie
Turner, published in McClure's Mag
azine, he says.
II do not believe that the doctrines of
state socialism, which have become so
popular in Europe, are adapted to the
spirit of the American people. But in
the powers given to the government to
fix rates, it must be admitted that in
our relation to railroad corporations we
have gone long way in the direction
of state socialism"
The charge of socialism was never
laid at the door Of that grand Democrat
of the old school Jeremiah s. Black.
But away back in the time when Wis
consin passed the first railway rate law,
which was was sustained by the state
supreme court, with that able jurist
Edward G.. Ryan, chief justice, pre-
siding. Judge Black lent the weight of
his opinion in favor of the constitution
ality of the rate making power. He
held that the power to fix railway rates
must go hand in hand with the power
to condemn private property in land for
railway right of way. Upon appeal to
the United States supreme court, the
Wisconsin rate law was sustained. Con-
gress fixes rates under the power to
regulate commerce between the states.
In implying that the exercise of the
railway rate making power by the gov
eminent is long step in the direction
of "a state socialism which is not adapt
ed to the spirit of the American people,
Present Taft shows that he is long
was in the rear of sound, progressive
thought.
It is a late day to call socialism that

ord breaker. Based on figures COM
piled by Boston economist. it's value

figures represent. approximately, of
course. the economic value to the Unit
ed States based on potential productive
capacity Of the 100000 babies which
it is calculated will constitute this
