nifty this congress surpasses all former

father. In his honor there was
solemn reception Tuesday evening in
st. James Cathedral, and last night
he was given a grand civic reception

day was most impressive. The pom

ebrated at nine o'clock for the reli-
gious communities. Then the section
al meetings, for men, women and
priests, began. They were held sepa-
rately iii different halls, both in

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
W. W. Montgomery, Candidate for County Treasurer

Ia partnership with ID. c. Quick. This
partnership continued for one year,
when Mr.. ID. G. Quick retired from
lthe firm because of other pressing
business interests. Mar. Montgomery
again took up the whole business, and
continued it until the winter of 1903.
! At that time he sold out his entire
business to John ii. Crowder and son,
thereby closing a successful business
career of sixteen years. Mr.. Mont
gomery was elected member of the
| Oskaloosa school board and is now
serving his second term, being, now
president of the board Mr.. Mont
gomery has been very active in push
| ing the work and plans of the new
Second ward school building, which
is now open and occupied by happy
lot of youngsters.
Mr.. Montgomery cast his first vote
with the republican party and has
worked and voted for the full ticket
at every election for twenty-eight
years. He has not, up to this time,
asked the people to elect him to pub
lie and remunerative Office. He is
eminently fitted and qualified for the
Irresponsible office of county treasurer,
and it is surely fitting that his aspira-
ton should be filed in this his hum
BILE request of the people of Mahas-
ka county.
Should he be elected to this posi-
! ton he will give it his undivided at
! tention and conduct the office to the
very best of his ability.
While Mr.. Montgomery has always
been a republican. he has never been
an aggressive partisan, always &C
cording freely to every man the same
privilege that he holds for himself;
! that is, to hold his own opinions of
| the political questions of the day
but to stand firmly by the party with
which he is affiliated.

Procession Of Blessed Cacrament,

Her pallet in her hand,
And colors of the rainbow fell
Upon the happy land.

And past the dusty mills;

A purple on the hills.

was bridge out ahead and that the
fire had covered the trasks behind
them. There was little II any danger
