l just got off the steamship

cumstance compels me to start
right out on another trip round

You see, when they dug my
trunks out of the hold of the ship
l found all the trunks were locked
and the keys lost.

trunks unless I'm travelling, so it's
me for another journey.
Of course, l could have a lock-

smasher to do it for nothing.
Besides, 1 don't like to open
them while they are still in quar-

be afraid to open them before
they are fumigated. They are my
trunks, but l don't know myself
what's in them.

them. l think the cat is in one of
them, but which one of them Pm

Maybe it's in one of the trunks

MORE LlFEsoArs.


At least one of the obvious lssscrG
OF the Titanic disaster has been prac
tically and effectively taken to heart
The British board Of trade has pro
mulgated new rules concerning the
llfe6oat equipment c. passenger
steamships, which are such as ma
terially to increase the degree of pro-
lection afforded in case Of serious ac-
cident. A few days ago there was not.
ed a statement that it did net seem
practicable to change the ruGe which
based lifebOat equipment on the ton
mage of the ship rather than on the
number of passengers, upon which
We commented unfavorably as illogi-
cal. 1t is gratifying to observe that
the board Of trade'h has found is prac.
ucaole to change that rule and TO re-
Quire that each ship shall carry life
boats enough to give room to all her
passengers. That means that the de-
vices for saving life shall lie made
adequate to the number Of lives to
De saved in an emergency. Common
dable in a high degree also is the
requirement that Immediately on
leaving poIt each vessels hfeboats
shall be equipped with an things ne
cessary for their navigation and for
the welfare Of their inmates. That
means that there shall mo more be
danger of boat full Of passengers
being. sent off from a sinking ship
only to have 1t discovered that there
are no oars with which to row il,
no compass with which to guide Il,
no lanterns or rockets to use as sig
nails and no food and water for the
passengers. Ordinary prudence would
seem to dictate that all these sup
plies shall be kept in the boats in
which they are likely to be needed,
and convenience does not demand
otherwise. In fact, such equipments
seem to belong to the boats as much
as do any pants Of their construction
and to need to be kept constantly iu
place in them.-New York Tribune.

more THAN PLEASED"

Kansas Democrats are taking hold
of the campaign this fan in a spirit
that is greatly encouraging to their
candidates on the state ticket. Demo.
cratic enthusiasm, and the willing
ness Of individual Democrats to join
in the work Of organization, is put.
ting the candidates on their mettle,
with the result that the meetings
are proving much more successful
than was anticipated for the early
stages of the campaign.
Senator George H. Hodges, the
Democratic nominee for Governor,
has been campaigning for two weeks
now. He says that he has had the
best meetings in his political exper-
fence. Reports following the meet
ings of Senator Hodges are all to
the effect that he is making a fine
presentation of Democratic issues
and that his campaign is more eff
fective than that Of any candidate fol-
governor in recent years.
81 am more than pleased with my
meetings" says Senator Hodges.
Despite the warm weather, the
meetings have been attended by
great crowds. They are larger than
were the crowds in the early stages
OF the campaign two years ago. The
spirit is better. The people of Kan
sas are in full sympathy with the ma
tional movement for the Democratic
party. They are eager to learn of
Democratic plans and policies. Never
before in my experience In politics
have Kansas Democrats shown such
a degree Of confidence as they this
year display, and never before has
every surface indication so warranted
confidence. When the voters turn
out in immense crowds in Kansas to
hear Democratic speaker, with the
thermometer crowding up toward the
hundred mark, and stay throughout
the meeting, giving close attention to
every phase Of the speakers discus
sion Of public questions, you can set
1t down that they are stirred to a
conviction that they must turn to
the Democratic party for reform of
the abuses which they complain. That
is what is happening in Kansas. That
is the kind Of meetings we are hav-
ing"

HELD OVERFLOW MEETING.

Sioux Fails, S. D., Sept. 17.-Gov.
Wilson and his party arrived al
Sioux Falls shortly after 8 O'Clock to
night. 1t had been raining all day
and the streets we're like rivers.
Automobiles conveyed the panties to
the auditorium, which had been
crowded to the door for an hour. 1t
contained 5000 men and women.
An overflow meeting was held in
the theater across the street.
Governor Wilson received an i'm
pressive ovation and was immedi.
ately introduced. He spoke along
the same lines of his afternoon
speech at the state fair at Sioux
City, arguing that the way to curb
monopoly is not to permit the govern
ment to enter into partnership with
II as a means of regulating monopoly
as proposed by the third party plat
form, but to destroy it completely.
This, Governor Wilson said, the dem
ocatic party would undertake to do.
The Governor took up the United
States steel trust as an illustration
and spoke at length on the evils
arising from this great monopoly,
both to the Iaboring man and cen
sumer.
The Governor also went into the
discussion Of trade and other Issues
Of the campaign.

CARDINAL IS IN WICHITA.

Wichita, Kas., Sept, 1S.-Dignita
RES Of the Cathoic church from al,
Parts of the United States were here
today to attend the dedication of ST
Mary's Cathedral, said to lie the mott
magnificent chu.ch edifice in the
southwest. At the head of the list
was His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons,
primate of the Catholic church in
America.
The ceremonies opening the cathe-
oral, which, exclusive of furniture,
cost $4,000, win extend over two
days. Cardinal Gibbons, accompanied
by a number of archbishops arrived
here on a special train and was con-
Quoted Immediately to the residence
Of Bishop Hennessy, where the party
was rendered a reception at $3.50
o'clock. The dedication service be-
gan at 8 O'Clock. Cardinal Gibbons
was the officiating prelate. Bishop
John ]. Hennessy acted as celebrant
of the mass and Archbishop John J..
Glennon was orator for the occasion.
After the service luncheon was serv-
ed to the visiting clergy at the Wich-
TIA Commercial club.
At $3.50 this afternoon a parade,
headed by a Uniformed body of
Knights Of Columbus, was scheduled
20 pass in review before Cardinal
Gibbons, occupying a stand in front
Of the cathedral. For tonight an ad-
dress by Archbishop Ireland of st.
Paul was scheduled.
The church edifice practically is
complete. In addition to the cost of
the building the marble altar, the
pipe organ and pews were installed
at an aggregate cost of $22,5OO by
the members Of the church. The.
Catholics of Wichita gave haH the
cost while churches in the diocese
contributed the remainder.
The building stands in one of the
most beautiful residence districts Of
the city. 1t is constructed of Bedford
stone, 1863 feet long and 100 feet wide
at the trancepts. From the floor to
the top Of the huge dome is 1875 feet.
1t is in Romanesque style.

greatest enterprises in the world Is
that OF taking from the soil n re.
storing to 1t this world OF wealth, ana
in no way is this to be accomplished
as in the dairying and livestock Dusi'

dairy regions OF other states, and ne
may investigate the resources OF the
same. but nowhere will he find great
err advancement in SO short a period
of time than is to be found In the
territory of Hazelton. And back OF
this advancement is a chain OF re-
sources such as to make 1t possible
for this industry to be carried to the
very extreme of successful operation.
The greatest need Of the country is

these this territory will soon come

1t is to be hoped the creamery as
ISOLATION will start the creamery
early next spring and that better sat
~isfaction will be given both patrons
and the association than was the
case in the last days of the old
creamery. There is no reason why a
local creamery should not do a good
business here and do it to the entire
satisfaction Of all concerned.

soning and effort. At no point in
the state has it been better demon
strated that diversified farming and
more intense farming methods are
productive of the greatest profits than
has been demonstrated at HazeltOn.
The grain crops are exceptional

surprising yields have been reported.
The country shows a richness and air
of prosperity not common to an agri.
cultural territory, and the class OF
citizens, mostly A~mericaASS0f educa-

are of a higher nature than those
pursued by many of their neighboring
counties is shown by the facts which
follow, as stated III the reports OF
Emmons county:
"In November, 1909, the commits
sioner of agriculture and labor Of the
state, in order to secure desirable
samples of grain for his exhibits at
various eastern fairs, offered prizes
for The same, the contest being open
to the state. Over half of the coun-

started "a yard here. Then came the
carpenters, and the harness makers,
the blacksmiths, the general stores,
and the hardware stores, the livery
barns and the land men, the restau-

Hazelton is not an isolated town,
but is located on the Linton branch
of the Northern Pacific railroad. hav'
ing ali outlet both north and south,
connecting with the Chicago, Milwat-
kee and ST.. Paul line at Linton. The
town has good shipping facilities and
is we'll equipped to handle the live
stock and grain shipments coming in
from the outlying country. Hazelton
has daily mail, express and telegraph
offices, telephone exchange, and daily
stage to Braddock. These with the
weekly newspaper bring the, town
into close touch with the other towns
and cities Of the state. The moral
and social side Of Hazelton is well
developed, and the town enjoys the
credit of having a very desirable
class of citizens. There is a good
school, and the churches are well
represented. The citizens take con-
siderable pride in their town, and are
alive to every opportunity of placing
the country and county of Emmons in
a proper light before the settler and
t e%hinventor.
However it is generally admitted
