Dubuque, May ga tragedy was
narrowly averted at st. Mary's church
in East Dubuque. when the wells worn
by three little girls of the first COM

her companions, Rebecca Burback
and Odeila Welp. had gone up IN
smoke.
The accident occurred shortly after
the children had entered the church.
The members Of the first communion
band carried lighted candles and the

worn by Camilla Vlnt and blew 1t
directly in front of the lighted candle.
In an instant the veil was In flames
and in the commotion which followed

became ignited. Members OF the con-

The trades unions of Des Moines,

the trades assembly of that city, have
made an offer to the miners OF dis
trict No. 10, u. M. w. "A. in considera-

Following Is the resolution adopted
lat the meeting last Wednesday,:
To locals of district No. H., U. M.
W. A. and all other unions. The
Trades and Labor Assembly OF Des
Moines has endorsed and stands be-
hind the movement to locate head
quarters for district 10, U. M. w. A..
in Des Moines and pledges It's moral
and financial support to a labor tenn
pie If erected here. This would mean
something over sixty locals that
would rent space in such a building,
and do their utmost to promote Its
welfare Knowing 80 we'll how much
sustained support means to. the perma-
nent success of such an undertaking,
the Des Moines Trades and Labor AS
sembly urges every member of dis
trict 10 to think carefully before bal
loting and thereby serve the best in
terests Of the district. We believe, In
all due respect to our competing city,
that she cannot offer anything like
the financial support which Des
Moines is able to offer by sheer force
of numbers.
AS a cool investment proposition,
the increase in property valuation of
Des Moines should outweigh every
other consideration in comparing
cities.

Burglars at Humeston.

Humeston, May 29.-Burglars enter
ed the store of w. D. Smith & Son,
and robbed the safe Of $140. This Is
the third attempted burglary to occur
in this city within the past two weeks,
though the loss was not so great in
the other cases The store of Smith
& Son was found locked securely, and, ).
1t is thought that entrance was gained
by means of key made to fit the lock
OF the front door. The safe from
which the money was taken had been
before and it could not be
locked. 1t was, thus. an easy matter
to remove the contents. Nothing was
known Of the robbery until the store
was opened this morning and there is
no clue.

monopolizing. In its decree, the court
dismissed the petition as to the I'm
perial company and the British-Amer-
lean company and from this feature of
the decree the government appealed
to the supreme court. It dismissed
the petition as to the United Cigar
Stores company, and from this, too,
the government appealed.
The circuit court decreed that the
American Tobacco company, the
American Snuff company, the Ameri-
can Cigar company, the American
stogie company and MacAndrews &
Forbes company were unlawful com.
binations and restrained them from
engaging in Interstate or foreign
commerce. From this, the defendants
appealed to the supreme court. So
did the government. The govern
ment objected because the Conley
Foil company and the individual de-
PENDANTS, headed by James B. Duke,
were not made parties to the conspir.
acy to restrain, and because all were
not held to be attempting to monopo-
lie.
The circuit court decreed that the
American Tobacco company, the
American Snuff company, the Amer
lean Cigar company, P. Lorillard COM
pany, r. J. Reynolds Tobacco COM
pany, Blackwell's Durham Tobacco
company and the Conley Foil COM
pany held shares in specified corpora
lions and enjoined them from acquir-
ing the plants or business or voting
the shares Of and from exercising
control over the Subsidiary" COM
panies, and enjoined the subsidiary"
companies from permitting control.
Both the defendants and the govern
ment appealed. The latter objected
principally because the Imperial To-
bacco company, the British-American
Tobacco company and the United
Cigars Stores company were not in
cluded among the Subsidiary" COM
panies. and because the holding COM
panies were not prohibited from col
lecting dividends from the "subsi-
diary" companies.
The appeals were argued before the
supreme court, first in January, AvAv,
and the second time in January, 1911.
Prominent attorneys appeared. For
the government Attorney General
Wickersham and his special assistant,
J. c. Reynolds addressed the court.
For the American Tobacco companies
there appeared John G. Johnson Of
Philadelphia; Delaney Nicholl and
Junius Parker Of New York, while
William B. Hornblower OF New York
argued for the Imperial Tobacco COM
pany, and Sol M. Stroock,. Of New
York for the United Cigar Stores
company.

Tri. Weekly Courier
Will Go 10 Cash
In Advance Basis
Watch Date on
Label on Paper
Do Not Let Your
Subscription Expire

More than year ago the circula
ton of the Ottumwa Daily Courier
was put on cash in advance basis
1t has been found to be very satisfac
tory to both the subscribers and the
publisher.
For years it had been the general
custom Of the country for publishers
to send q paper till the subscriber
stop 1t. Some publishers would hard
ly stop paper even when told to do
so by letter, but there are not many
Of that kind left now.
| About ninety per cent of the sub.
scription list of the Ottumwa Tri.
Weekly Courier is now paid in ad.
vance, and 1t is evident from many OF
the letters we receive from sub
scribers, that they prefer to pay for
all their papers In that way and then
have the papers stop unless the sub
scriber sends in the money to pay for
! 1t.
Almost everyone prefers the ad-
vance payment, then they are not
! paying for any dead horse" and they
do not have to. worry for fear bill
will be run up on them.
Hundreds of people prefer the Daily
Courier to any other daily, and one OF
the reasons they give is that it stops
when the time is out, then when want
it started again send in the money
to pay for it, and I'm never owing any
thing for my paper"
The government postal department
has made ruling that subscriber to
a tri-weekly publication who is more
than six months in arrears is not en-
titled to receive the said paper and
that the publisher must not send such
paper for term longer than six
months without pay
The publishers Of the Tri-Weekly
Courier have tried to live up to the
six months term allowed by the gov
eminent, but find that in spite of the
closest watching, there will be a few
names get past the six months limit.
This makes it unfair for both the sub
scriber and publisher, and 1t has been
decided to put the circulation of the
Tri-Weekly Courier on the same basis
Of all the larger daily papers Of the
state-that Is on cash in advance
basis-this pleases the subscriber be-
cause he is not being continuously
called upon to pay up back bills. He
pays when he starts the paper and
then the publisher notifies him just
before his subscription expires, and if
he wants the paper continued, he
sends in another payment. But II the
subscriber does not want the paper
continued, he does not have to write
to the Office to have 1t stopped because
1t will be stopped anyway unless it is
paid for.
SO we want our subscribers to con-
tinue talk, g the paper, because we
know they get better paper than any
one else can give them for the money
better markets, better editorials,
better continued stories, better local
news. better baseball and sporting
newsstand we ask that If your sub
scription is not paid in advance, please
send to the Courier, Ottumwa, Iowa,
an amount Sufficient to pay your sub
scription ahead. Look at the date on
the label on your paper and 1t will tell
you when your subscription expires.
Please attend to this at once.
