more and more until he comes untt

And all through life he continued, al

And he daily increased in Holy Spiri

A faithful soldier unto his life's end.

THE new lNTERURBAN
Officials Visit Montezuma and OBJ
tain Valuable Records.

Montezuma Republican: G. w. Cor.
don, w. /. Beans, James Atchison and
Chef Reid, officials of the Iowa Trac-
ton company, OF Oskaloosa, were in
town Monday, in consultation with the
members OF the railway committee OF
the Commercial Club. They reported
the work as having already commence
ed on the new line between Oska.
loosa and Waterloo, an engineering
force being at work between Tama
and Waterloo securing the survey.
The officials visit in Montezuma
was partly for the purpose of pur-
chasing from the old Oskaloosa-Tama
railway company the field notes and
survey made few years ago, and
probably before we go to press they
will be the owner of it. By purchas-
ing this survey, the length of time for
getting the road established would be
greatly eliminated. There might be
some changes made in the old survey
but greater part of it could be used
to a great advantage.
The length of the new line is liz
miles. Rights-of-way are being Sc
cured all along the line without any
trouble and there has been number
in this vicinity who have volunteered
the right-of-way free providing the
road is built. The work of securing
the right-of-way has been completed
| from Oskaloosa to North, Skunk river.
AS soon as this work is completed
President Wodehouse will make ar.
rangements to get franchises from
the towns along the road.
The parties spoke encouragingly OF
the financial part of the new line
IOskaloosa parties are working as are
the Waterloo boosters and every indi
cation at present favors this inter
urban line which will mean bigger
and better Montezuma. Let's all
whoop 'er up for the new interurban.

than the Rev. A. V. Kendrick, who
has been stationed here at various
times, and who is held in high es-
TEEN, as well, by members of his
church as by hundreds who belong
to other denominations. The good
old man is beginning to feel the
weight of the years, and the result
of many years of hard work is begin
ming to tell on him, and with his
good wife he has started for. Califor-
mia in the hope of regaining his
health and strength. His Burlington
friends hope that his fondest expecta-
lions may be more than realized. One
at Keokuk who knows him very well
wrote as follows;
Rev. A. V. Kendrick, d. D., one of
the most prominent Churchmen of
Iowa, and resident minister of Keo
kuk for the past nine years, will leave
tomorrow with his wife for points in
California and the Pacific coast.
After a service of thirty-eight years

life, Rev. Kendrick will seek retire

RECIPROCITY BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Canadian Tariff Agreement Is
Enacted 264 to SO.
PARTY LINES ARE DIVIDED
Ten Democrats and 70 Republicans
Vote Against the Measure--Taft
Makes Personal Appeal for
Its Adoption.

Washington, April 22.-Among
scenes of greatest enthusiasm in
crowded galleries and on the floor, the
Canadian reciprocity tariff pact
passed the house by the decisive vote
of 264 to SO. ~s
Ten of the opposing votes were cast
by the Democrats and the other 70
by Republicans. A majority of the
Republicans in the house voted
against the measure, and the fears of
President Taft were realized, namely,
that the reciprocity measure would go
through by Democratic votes alone.
At the last minute the president sum-
moned group Of Republican oppo-
nents of reciprocity to the White
House and made a personal appeal to
them, but without avail. .-.
Bill Goes to Senate.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where strenuous efforts are to be
made, through amendments and other.
wise, to defeat It. Announcements
that such was the plan of opposing
senators were made during the fight
in the house.
Most startling in their nature were
the explanations given by Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee, of plans that had been
adopted by great trusts, monopolies
and interests to defeat the reciprocity
bill. That fight is still on and will
have to be met In the senate.
Mr.. Underwood, In his closing ad
dress, charged that the American Pro
tective Tariff league, the steel ant
lumber trusts had waged systematic
campaign against the bill, which in
cluded the sending of misleading tele
grams to members of the house ant
the closing down Of steel mills, throw
ing thousands of workmen out of EN-
ployment, to influence congressman
and senators.
All Amendments Defeated.
Mccall of Massachusetts also de
Tended the bill In lengthy address
and Dalzell made the final attack upol
It. Then came flood of amendments
fifty or more, all aimed against tn
meat, lumber and print paper SEIZED
ules of the pact. Spirited debate TO
lowed on each amendment, but al
were voted down. ~.a
Despite protestations Of unchangin
support of progressive legislation, Il
vine l.. Lenroot OF Wisconsin an
George Norris of Nebraska, progress
sive leaders, lined their following u
in opposing the bill behind a handfl
of the old guard of stand-patters.
The contention of the progressive
was that the bill was amendable an
that it could be changed by givin
Canada free trade. They held to tn
insistently, in the face of positive a
surances from President Taft, tt
state department and the commissio
ers who framed the pact, that ar
change would send the agreemel
back to the commissioners with IL
certainty that this would defeat It.
The record vote came on final pas
age of the bill. nearly everyone insis
ing on It. Ten Democrats vot,
against the tariff pact and 70 Repu
licans. This was majority of Il
Republicans voting. Among the Q
ponents of the bill were nearly all Il
progressive Republicans of the hous
