Letters relative to the approach
ing season of Lent will be read to
Catholic people on Sunday preced-
ing Ash Wednesday, the beginning
of the Lenten season this year COM

err of exercises will soon be an
nounced.
February II was Septuage sima
Sunday which is seventy days from
Easter, and is, in the Catholic ritual,
preliminary announcement of the
Lenten season. The season begins
two weeks from Wednesday with
Ash Wednesday. On this day the
people come to the churches for the
CSl CulOulCS VI the ulSSSSu dSueS.
Particles of the dust from burned
palms are blessed and applied to the
heads of the faithful, with words
reminding them of the origin OF
their bodies from dust, and the final
return to the earthly state after
death.
Lent extends through the forty
days between Ash Wednesday and
Easter Sunday, Sundays that fall
within that time are not properly
called Lent. The time is set apart
as the christian observance of the
forty days of Christ in the desert
The people are expected to deny
themselves all form of amusements
for this period out of respect for the
Master and in preparation for the
coming observance of the agony and
death of Christ. Fasting and pray
ers form the principle acts of piety
AS far as can be learned there will
be no new regulations concerning
the fasts and dispensations this
year.

To Cut MAYORS Salary.

The salary of Mayor Kirschman OF
Mason City, formerly of this county,
may be cut according to a resolu-
ton that unanimously passed the
city council, which made the salary
of the mayor the question for dis
cussion and possible settlement at
the next meeting. There has been
considerable complaint made that
the city is not getting sufficient SER
vice from the mayor in view of the
salary of $1,000 per annum that is
paid. At the opening of the present
administration the mayor was paid
$500 and it was boosted to $1,000
with the understanding that the
executive would give ms entire time
to city business.

CHARGE MADE BY BRANDlES
BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
BAY STATE ATTORNEY SPEAKS
IN FAVOR OF LAFoLLETTE
BILL, DESIGNATED TO CURB
GROWTH OF TRUSTS.

I WASHING TON, Dec. 14-Making
the direct charge that the methods
of the gigantic monopolies are caus.
ing a spread of dangerous unrest
over the country, Attorney LOUIS
Brandies today appeared before the
senate committee on interstate CON-
merce, speaking in favor of the La
Toilette bill. designated to curb
the growth of trusts.
The most menacing trust, said Mr..
Brandies, is the Wall street money
trust, which is tightening up on all
business in America. The speaker
charged that conditions in trust
owned mills and factories are moi
, nearly so good as in independent
plants, and said that with the La
Toilette bill in force it would be inn
possible to form any more trusts.
Mr.. Brandies declared that since
the steel trust gained control of the

have increased alarmingly, due tC

KELLEY GONE
ON STEAMER
FROM TAMPA
BOUND FOR SOUTH AMERICA
ACCORDING TO LATE RFPol
GUARD SAID TO HAVE TAKEN
PASSAGE FOR GALVESTON AND
OFFICERS ARE WATCHING ron
HIM THERE.

Latest Developments in the search
for ]. NJ. Kelley, the life convict
who recently escaped from the camp
on the Baytona- -DeLand road. insli
cate the iifer has made good his e.
cape and is now bound for South
America. while the guard. Smith, win
probably be placed under arrest IN
Texas soon
After Kelley escaped from the
camp between Daytona and DeIAnd
it was disco1ered the guard had
either aided the convict in makig
the escape and gone with him. OF
been compelled by the lifers 70 s1lrs
render the gun he carried and the
clothes he wore. detectives Of the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad, who
were Instrumental dn convictlng Kel-
ley and having him sentenced to the
| camps for life, have prosecuted q re-
lentless search to get some trace OF
the missing prisoner.
It is now belived Kelley and SnafEh
lett the camp together and that the
guard aided the prisoner In making
the escape. In taking up the trail
the railroad detectives followed the
two men to the west and south. The
fugtyes succeeded in keeping well
under cover and are said to have
reached Tampa without their idenktty
being discovered.
They were followed into the city
of Tanpa by the railroad officers,
according to reports, the detectives
reaching that city just "a hours ar
ter the convict and the missing
guard. During that "a hours, how
ever, Kelley and Smith had been
busy and had mapped out fagkher
plans for the escape. Believins IL
unwise to travel further togaklar
the two men decided to separate tt
1 Tampa, taking different routes to-
ward South America. whore II Is
believed the plans called for the two
men to meet again.
According to the reports received
in this city Kelley took passage dir
rect to South America, or caught a
boat for New Orleans or Havana to
change to a southbound steamer,
while Smith Is alleged to have TAX
en- passage from Tampa for Calves
ton, Texas. from which city it Is
supposed he planned to continue
his way toward South America.
If this is the plan followed out by
the two men 1t Is probable Kelley
made good his escape. while the au-
thorities in Galveston VIII likely pick
up the guard when the Tampa Steam
er docks in that city. In case Smith
is apprehended in Galveston and
brought back to this state he will
probably receive a heavy sentence.
providing it can be proved he actn-
ally aided the convict i'm making his
! escape.
