manner which delighted the youths.
John, who is heavy for his age,
had little difficulty in holding the
kite steady, although at times bursts
of wind threatened to pull the stout
cord from his grasp. At length the
wind appeared to grow weaker and
the pull on the string lessened. John

OF the cities where the saloon is
sue is interwoven with the election
of aldermen, Rockford and Decatur
are the most important Both of
these places, votino as townships
went wet April 5th after having
been without saloons two years.
AS the result of an opinion given
by Attorney General Stead that a

BURLINGTON. April 19.-The new

city government has a prize package
i'll store for the property owners of
Burlington 1t is the tax assessment
for tie coming year. The work OF
reviewing the returns of the assessors
was finished Saturday. Hundreds OF
citizens who have never paid taxes,
and who do not dream that they are
liable, are listed with owning house
hold goods, the assessment on which
is raised from nothing to figures vary
ing from $500 to $4,000 and more.
Every class of business is hit by in-
creases running up into all sorts of
figures. Some of the amounts named
are startling Three increases alone
total million dollars. The Burling-
ton Street Railway company's capital
stock is raised from nothing to $273,-
251. A number of other increases are
| in proportion. In many cases the in
crease in household furniture from
nothing upward evidently covers the
total value of tie goods in the house.

empting certain amounts. The law
exempts $500 on household goods and
i also all necessary bedroom furniture,
kitchen furniture, wearing apparel in
regular use, personal, Libraries and all
supplies of foods.
/ Probably nothing that has been
! printed of late has attracted more at
tention than will this list of assess
ments.
The board of review will give
1 exery man chance to be heard on
his assessment and there is little
doubt that good deal of scaling down
will be done. For this purpose the
council will sit, beginning April 25, to
hear complaints, and will then make
the final adjustments.

WORLD WIDE MISSIONS.
Commissions Report At Edinburgh
Sounds Warning Note.

Edinburgh, June 16-The delegates
to the world missionary conference
have gotten down to the real work of
the international meeting. The ses-
sions proper opened with much en-
thusiasm Representatives of mission
airy work among non-Christian peoples
everywhere were present.
A feature was the presentation by
John R. Mott, of New York, the chair
man, of the report of the commission
on Carrying the Gospel To All the
Non Christian World
Report of Commission.
A warning to the Christian churches
of the world that a decisive hour for
missions had come was given in the
report of the commission.
The commission declares opportuni-
ties which have been neglected in the
past are the reproach of the church
The church in Christian lands, says
the report, needs energizing that it
may carry on the work. The commits
sion urged that an international COM
mittee be formed and that a great
movement to carry Christianity into
every region with increased force be
undertaken.
Turning it's attention to fields on
which the church should concentrate
attention and effort, the commission
reports that in China there is an
unique opportunity fraught with far.
reaching issues for the future of China
and of all Christendom. The advance
of Islam in Equatorial Africa presents
the question, the report says, whether
the dark content shall become Mo-
hammedan or Christian. India and the
Mohammedan world as a whole, par
ticularly Turkey and Persia, are point
ed out as other large fields for effort.
"The Jewish people," the c.mmis-
sioner says, "have peculiar claim
upon the missionary activities of the
Christian church. Christianity is theirs
-eminently by right of inheritance
The church is under special obligation
to present Christ to the Jew"

EUROPE DID HONOR
TOFAMOUS AMERICAN
Rulers and People of Many Lands
Greeted Him as Most Distinguished
Citizen of United States His
Lectures in Three Cities.

All Europe, kings and commoners
alike, received Theodore as the most
distinguished of living Americans.
He was entertained by royalty and
nobility everywhere he went, and al
ways the people greeted him with
vociferous applause. What possibly
pleased the former president more
than all this was the fact that liter
airy and scientific circles received him
as a man Of letters and science and
several learned societies elected him
to membership.
In Paris, Christiania, Berlin and Ok.
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope of his
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr..
RoOsevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred Immediately after his
arrival in Italy early in April. Before
he left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con-
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had intimated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri-
can. About the same time former
Vice-President Fairbanks was in,
Rome and had arranged for an audi
ence at the Vatican which was can
celled by the pope because Mr.. Fair
banks first addressed the Methodist
r1ission In Rome. When Colonel
Roosevelt reached the Eternal City he
received, through the American minis
ter, a message from Cardinal Merry
del Val, papal secretary of state, to
the effect that the pope would grant
an audience to Mr.. Roosevelt If he
did not repeat the mistake made by
Mr.. Fairbanks. The colonel promptly
called it all of, stating that as an in
dependent American citizen he could
not submit to such restrictions. The
head of the Methodist mission tried to
make religious capital out Of this, and
