The Impressions Of Rev. Potter, Of
Keokuk, When He Witnessed
the Famous Passion
FULFILLING THE vow
For Three Hundred Years Have the
Peasants Been Giving the
Spectacle For the
World.

Rev. j. w. Potter's letters to the
Muscatine Journal have been reprN,
duced in these columns from time to
time and have proved of great inter-
est to all. His latest letter deals with
the passion play at Oberammergau,
which he witnessed on June IL, and is
interesting. following his lecture last
Friday evening on this topic. His let
ter was as follows:
Passing to the northwest from Ven
ice, leaving the Apenine mountains on
the left we entered that wonderland
of western Austria-Hungary known as
the province of Tyrol' and made a
short stop at Innsbruck, the capital Of
the province.
The scenery was truely magnificent
Lofty mountains, beautiful valleys,
winding streams climbing vines and
graceful trees, with flowers every
where. We had been glad to remain
for several days.
From this point is a short run to
Munich, where we change cars for

where deer enjoy the rights Of undis
puted possession: beautiful fields with
waving grain and growing crops; lakes
with all the equipments for boating
and fishing; lofty mountains, stately
and rugged, with patches of snow in
the gulches and gorges; until finally
you enter the valley of the Ammer riv
er. Proceeding up this valley you
come to Inter Ammergau-or the
lower valley of the Ammer' as the
name signifies-a small town standing
guard at the gateway of the upper
valley.
Passing through and proceeding
up the river we reach the end OF the
valley and find ourselves shut in 9

we entered.

for three days rest in the Alps, our
objective point being Lucerne, de-
lightful mountain city located on a
lake of the same name. We enjoyed
the rest all right, but the weather was
horrid. 1t was raining when we reach
ed the place and kept it up most of
the time during our stay.
BY the third day the lake came
over its banks and the water went
rampaging through the city, making
rivers of its streets and great la
goons of the public parks. BY night.
fall the water in front of our hotel
was two feet deep and the police, sol
diers and boys of the fire department
were kept busy building improvised
sidewalks above the surface of the
water.
Notwithstanding the danger, j
never saw jollier crowd of people
in INV life-they waded tbs waite,
knee deep, with reckless indifference
and joked and laughed as II it were
great sport.
By 10 O'Clock pm. the water was
running over the doorsill of our side
entrance and making it's way toward
the office; but fortunately for the no
tel, as well as our party, the flood
was stayed at this stage, and while
sat up watching the show until !
4 O'Clock, there was no further danger

next morning. however, as we left fol
the train, we were taken in boats
from the hotei to the bridge.

REDUCED PER CENT
BY UNION SHOPS
Sanitary Working Conditions Result
in Fewer Deaths From
Tuberculosis.

Statistics issued by the Cigar Max
ers' International Union show that,
in 1888. So per cent Of the deaths
among members of that organizat on
was due to tuberculosis In 1890 this
percentage had been reduced to 35
per cent and in 1904 to "a per cent. In
1888 the average life of union cigar
maker was 80 years and 5 months,
and in 1909 it was 46 years and II
months. The international Typo.
graphical Union can show similar
decrease in 1909 in the death rate of
these diseases. Both of these organ.
izations stand for the union shop and

reasonable hours of labor This work
