M'FARLAND MAKES
STRONG ADDRESS
"keokuk Firebrand," Talks to Men
at Muscatine Y. M. c. A.
Sunday.

/ Muscatine Journal: Before an audi
( ence that almost completely filled the
Young Mems Christian association
] club rooms yesterday afternoon, C. F.
Mcfarland, of Keokuk, better known
perhaps as The Keokuk Firebrand,' .
applied the light of the gospel to the
many men in the audience The ad.
dress was an inspiring one and one of
the most oratorical OF any heard by
the Y. M. C. A. recently. Mr.. McFar-
land is a straight out-and-out speaker,
who drives straight from the should
er. yet speaks with warmth and
feeling that wakes at times into an
eloquence SO absolutely Irresistible
that the auditors were carried along
by the force of the words.
Mr.. Mcfarland is not a preacher
He made that clear to the audience
at the outset. He is a plain everyday
business man, but his soul was so
deeply stirred by Billy Sunday sever
al years ago at Keokuk that he has
been going around the country ever
since, whenever the opportunity was
presented. and trying to lead men to
the better life. His thorough ac-
quaintance with the ways of the world
ably qualities him for an address to
the hearts OF hayward and careless
men with convincing force.

Feet Troubles Overcome.

Every clerk, policeman, housewife,
or person who is compelled to spend
the greater portion of their time
standing on their feet will profit by
adopting sanative, curative and
tonic foot wash. 1t is really marvellous
what relief and freedom from foot
soreness follows:
Obtain a 2-ounce package of vilane
powder and to a gallon of hot water
add teaspoonful; also a tablespoon
full of salt. Then immerse the feet
from 0 to 90 minutes every night I'M
til all the poisons, soreness and con
gestion is removed. Corns, callouses,
bunions. are relieved promptly. Excess
sive sweating, cold feet, tired, swol-
len and aching feet will soon be I'M
known. This is without doubt the
most effective treatment for the feet
ever published.

also said that the defendant had filed
his bond August 25, 1908, his list Of

that these were filed previous to the

Sheriffs Posse Scours Country
In Pursuit OF Much
Hunted Italian
co TO MOCLIPS TODAY
Sheriff and Deputies Search
Long But Have Un-
earthed No Clews

Lazzereschi Callesto, who has been
sought for by city and county officers
for the past four days, seems to have
made good his escape. Tom Rice,
whom Callesto shot in the rear of
the Fashion saloon last Wednesday
night, continues to improve at the To-
cal hospital and it is now felt that
he will recover. The officers started
out again this morning, taking an
automobile for Moclips and the coun-
try intervening. Those in the posse
were Sheriff Payette and Deputies
Mckenzie and Schwartz. They will
scour that section in the hopes of
finally locating the Italian who has
given them such chase.
AS stated in Thursdays paper
blood hounds from Seattle were put
on Cailesto's trail. They followed the
scent from his house near the FEEDER
al mill clear to the Hoquiam river.
Crossing that they again took up the
trail, bat lost it before they, had gone
very far up the south side of the
stream. There had been some rain
and considerable traffic SO that the
dogs were completely baffled.a The
dogs were taken back to Seattle Fri
day. ........tG ,fJ. ct
The search was continued however
by q posse directed by Sheriff Pay
ette. All Friday afternoon and night
and up to Saturday afternoon, the Of
ftcers secured the Humptnlips river
country and on into the Quiniault res
eravtion. Not trace of the Italian
could they find. 'Sheriff Payette and
his deputies, Mckenzie and Schwartz,
and Police Captain George Dean, re.
turned Saturday afternoon.
II Callesto is not located today 1t
is probable that the active search will
be given up. If he is hiding in the
Harbor country, he is almost certain
to be apprehended sooner or later.
II, however, he has made his way
to the Sound, his chances Of com.
plete escape are good.

Constitutionality Of
the Law
NOT CLASS LEGISLATION
Court Announce Determine
ton to Sustain Acts Of
Legislature

OLYMPIA, July Sit is held by
the supreme court, in an enbanc de-
cision handed down yesterday, that
the law authorizing cities with pop
ulation ranging from $500 up to 20,-
600 to adopt the commission form of
government is constitutional.

which quashed the demurrer of May
or Eugene Tausick of Walla Walla.
to the temporary writ of mandate
directing him to call special elec-
ton to submit the question of the
commission form of government to
the voters of that city, is affirmed.
Question Was Clear
It was on the question alone of the
constitutionality of the law that the
mayor Of Walla Walla appealed and
as the law has been upheld. Gilbert

ing that the election be held, win
their point.
The decision is long one and is

said by the supreme court that the
law merely creates new classifi-

change the municipal functions, but
merely affects the instrumentalities
through which such functions are to
BE- exercised.

The court also takes occasion to
say that all laws passed by the legis.
lature are presumed to be constitu.

courts unless they clearly violate some
provision of the constitution.
The effect of the decision is to al.

adopt the commission form of gov.

Chamber Of Commerce to
Petition War Department
For For6fication
SAY NEED IS APPARENT
Harbor is Most Exposed Point
on Coast with Strategic !.
Importance

To urge upon the war department
the necessity of fortifying Grays Har.
Dor will be the purpose of resolutions
to be introduced at the regular lunch.
con of the Chamber of Commerce at
the Fairmont Hotel tomorrow noon
There has been some agitation Of the
plan recently, in view of the fact that
the war department is reorganizing
it's army post system, and it is felt
that if the project is brought to the
attention of the proper officers and
sufficiently pressed, that action may
result.
1t is not the idea of those advocat-
ing the plan to recommend the loca.
tion of an army post here, first be-
cause the post is not wanted, and
second because it is known that the
war department is cutting down great.
ly the number of it's forts. and cen.
tering the troops in the larger posts.
At the same time the need of the
proper fortification of the Harbor is
apparent.
With Grays Harbor the most ex-
posed point on the Pacific coast, it
would not be a matter of much diff
ficulty for hostile trops to secure
landing anywhere along it's shores.
There is nothing to prevent the en-
trance of foreign war vessels; and
now that the harbor is being opened
and deepened by dredging and the
construction of jetties, the large war
ships could easily get over the bar
al the harbor mouth, and because the
shore line is uniformly approachable,
could land troops from Ocosta to
Cosmopolis. This would give invad-
ers a base for further operations in
land.
Not only is the danger great be-
cause the Harbor is so greatly expos
ed, but also because of the import
ance of the Harbor cities themselves.
With the constant upbuilding of the
business interests all along the Har-
Dor, the need for ample protection
against any possible intrusion becomes
more evident. The damage that might
be inflicted to the industrial welfare
of the whole country by the ruin of
the lumber mills all along the Cheha-
lis river is sufficient ground for some
sort of action looking toward fortifi-
cation by the installation of mines
and batteries.
