THE HOME RULE CRISIS.

DR.. Crotbers in a recent Atlantic has
ments upon the hypercritical attitude
of Europe in condemning the little
pleasantries INDUCED in by many of
the partisans in the recent presidential
campaign.
That they grated jarringly upon the
unused ears of Europe" he points out,
but proceeds to show that the barbar-
isms of American politics are as south
sea zephyrs compared to the Kansas
cyclones of European political wrath
A case in point is the rioting which
has been in progress in the English
house of commons.
We have seen a few passages at arms
in our own congress, but nothing like
that in the mother of parliaments"
whose sons were so quick to condemn
America for the heated words of the
recent campaign.
AS a matter of fact the whole trou-
BILE over the Irish Home Rule bill
seems to be that lot of political agi-
tators have lost their tempers.
The same element which caused the
riot, the men who threw books and
oaths and epithets at the heads of the
brilliant statesmen who are working
out in England a program of social
justice which in it's stupendous scope
surpasses even the widest dreams of
the practical politicians of other ma
tons, are the same men who have gone
up and down the length and breadth of
England and taken the stump in every
crossroads hamlet in Ulster preach
ing armed rebellion against Irish Home
Rule.
They are incendiaries of a type not
greatly differing from the suffragette |
who attempted to burn the theatre in |
which a cabinet member was speaking, |
or that other who flung Ratchet at |
Lloyd Georges head during recent |
visit to ireland.
And in the end they are relying upon |
the meanest of weapons in a fight

Had His Eye on Belmont.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-August Bel
mont, at the United Hunts meeting at
the Belmont terminal, was telling the
reporters about his colt Tracery, win
ner of the st. Leger handicap in Eng
land, and drew from his pocket two
pictures of the splendid animal.
The reporters crowded close about
the magnate, and several were taking
notes when the big country detective
doomed up.
What's the matter?" asked re-
porter.
I'm watching that bookmaker," re-
piled the sleuth, nodding in the direc-
ton of Belmont. IF he takes any
money"
But the explosion that followed
drowned his threat. Belmont put the
picture of Tracery back in his pocket

Father Isidor was .banished from

The czarina continues to brood over
the death two years ago of Prince
Gregory Orloff. The walls of her
bedroom are covered with his por-
traits. and the poor lady gazes at them
all day long. When at Tsarskoe Selo
she visits his grave daily. and it is
pathetic to see her brush the snow off
his tombstone with her own hands.
At Spala she keeps to her own
apartments and refuses to take any
sort of exercise in the fresh air
When officials are invited to lunch or
dinner she keeps to her rooms. Prin-
cess Irene of Prussia her sister, vain

shooting, of which he is very fond. The
young czarovitch is learning to handle
a gun, too. The princesses walk and
ride 1t is noticed how shabby and
dowdy they look Nobody cares how
they are dressed, now that the Count

PEASANT RULES CAR
WITH FAKE MYSTICISM

ST PETERSBURG. Nov. 15.-The
feeling against Rasputin. the illiterate
Siberian peasant. whose mystic Sc
ances caused such scandal here dast
winter. is more intense than ever
Even the easiest-going Petersburgers
complain that he is depraving the sur
roundings of the czar's children under
the hypocritical guise of mysticism
and religion. The czar sees only the
religious and mystic sides. Rasputin's
influence is potent against all who OPP
pose him. The royal familys sincere
friends are in dispair. They say that
Rasputin has hypnotized the czar and
the czarina. Court women who pro-
test are in disfavor.
The young Countess Go1ovine. lady
in-waiting to the four young prin-
cesses, objected to Rasputin's habit of
entering her charges sleeping apart
ments at night. and protested to the
czarina.
You are quite right" said the car

about it myself"
The countess was banished from the
court the next day.

group of mines in Mexico on money ad-
vanced by the plaintiff. A Missouri
man furnished money for a mill and
the property proved a bonanza.
The original proposition to Holdings
worth was made by Tufts in 1885, and
in 1906, after developing the mines and
forming several companies, he organ
lied the Grand Union Mining company,
in New York, with a capitalization of
$10,00O,00O. OF this $8,00O,OOO of stock
was issued.
Tufts was given 100000 and $4,-
100000 was taken by the men who fin
anced the proposition.
HOllingsworth demanded half OF
Tufts share, but the latter claimed that
100000 of his stock was held in trust
for others.
Referee Collins says that this explain
alton is not satisfactory and recon-
mends that Tufts be compelled to di-
vide. evenly with Hollingsworth. The
stock is valued at SO cents on the dol
lar.

Historic Spot Is Sold.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Nov. 10
Kickapoo island, opposite the village
of Kickapoo, in the Missouri river, was
sold by Granville M. Smith and Harry
o. Burnett of Kansas City to A. r. Kill
burn of the same city.
The island embraces about 1000
acres of land and the consideration
was $4,000. 1t is understood that the
coal rights are to be developed.
At one time KickapoO island was
we'll populated, but in recent years the
settlers have moved away and the land
has been allowed to become covered
with a dense growth of brush. For
many years it has been favorite
haunt for sportsmen.

Gets yenison Out of Season.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 14.-The

today in possession of several nice cuts
venison as the result of killing a buck
out of season and getting away with
it,
of the car, strolled on the track as the
car was going through a thickly-set-
tied suburb. The impact so wounded
the animal that the motorman had to
cut it's throat. He brought the carcass
back to the game wardens office on

GREETED WITH A
LARGE AUDIENCE
Mrs. Daniel Shepardson Lectures on
"The Philippines" at
Baptist Church.

Mrs. Daniel Shepardson, Jr., was
greeted with large audience in he1
lecture on '"The Philippines" at the
Baptist church Sunday night.
Mrs. Shepardson is a traveller who
sees things that are typical of a
country. She is not a mere tourist
who goes over the fixed routes and
sees a country by merely visiting the
cities, and looking from hotel win
dows. but seeks out personally the
places and people that are typical
of the country.
She not only sees and knows these
characteristic facts, but is able to
vividly set them before people in a
highly entertaining manner. She
has seen and can fully express the
good, bad, pathetic, and humorous.
She lectures tonight at 1880 on
Japan !" The lecture is free. The
platform representation will be a
japanese tea-room, and the lecture
will be given in native costume.
Mrs. Shepardson spoke before the
city schools this morning. Wednes-
day afternoon at three O'clock she
will address the married ladies only
at the Baptist church.

the first game for some time that
Berggren has been in the best of

good shape and allowed him to ap-
pear at his best. France was also

be played by the home squad will

day. Fonda will come to this city
for their return game In the last
clash of these teams the Fonda
bunch came out victorious. Howev-

be somewhat different, as the home
men are now in better condition
than they were at that time.

braska. Evidently, he would have
gotten home much sooner If he had
walked, or had found almost any
kind Of work, and had saved a bit
of his money, until he had enough
to pay his fare. Just why a fellow
like Closson is fined 81, 900 in addi-
tion to sentence in the prison.
does not appear quite clear to
the looker-on. Clear it is that he
could not pay one-tenth of that
amount, and if he could pay some-
thing it would simply be robbing
the people who are dependent upon
him, or the people upon whom he
has been dependent, If the fine were
paid. It Is presumed to be an addi-
tional club to be held over him after
he regains his liberty. And it is to
be used, presumably, to make it
more clear to him that he must
walk the straight and narrow path.

DUNCOMBE BOY
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
Suffers a Compound Fracture of the
Right Leg-Thrown From
Wagon.

John, the nine year old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. William T. Hanrahan, who
reside in Duncombe, is suffering
with compound fracture of his
right leg. The injury was received
Saturday afternoon when the boy
was riding on a wagon load OF
household goods with his father.
Owing to the roughness Of the road
he was thrown from the wagon and
fell to the ground, when one Of the
horses stepped on the leg. The
weight of the animal crushed the
leg and ankle. The ligaments in the
limb were also badly torn. A ply
sician from this city was called and
dressed the injured member. The
boy is resting as nicely as can be
expected at present. Mr.. and Mrs,
Hanrahan are well known in this
city, having resided In Duncombe
and vicinity for many years.

REV. ]. B. SMITH
GOES TO WATERLOO

Of Muscatine, Accepts New
Call.

Waterloo Courier: AS result of
the visit of a committee from the
Walnut street Baptist church to
Muscatine last Sabbath to hear Rev.
j. B. Smith, D. D., preach, a call has
been rendered to DR.. Smith to accept
the pastorate of the Walnut street
church and he will accept. This pull
pit was made vacant by the recent

family consists of wife and two
children. He is a graduate Of the
Rochester. N. Y, Theological semin-
airy and has held pastorates at Cres-
co and Webster City, prior to his call
to Muscatine four years ago.
The Muscatine Baptist church is
now the largest in the state, and 1t
has. become such under the ministra-
tions of DR.. Smith. The committee
feels that the membership and pub
lie at large could make no better
choice OF q man to succeed the al
ways popular Dr.. Beeman.
1t is hoped that the new pastor
may be here to occupy the pulpit
next Sunday. DR.. Beeman begins his
work with the First Baptist church
of st. Paul the first of March. 6

reys Speaks.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society Of the Methodist church held
their annual thank Offering service
Sunday morning. The ladies had
charge of the regular Sunday morn

read by Mrs. G. L. Shryock. fol-
lowed with prayer by the pastor.
Mrs. Stella Humphreys of Clarion,
field secretary for the society, gave
the address of the morning. She
presented the need of the women
and girls of our foreign lands in an
interesting and forcible manner
which appealed strongly to the
minds and hearts of her audience.
Her account Of the numbers who
have yearly to be turned away from
the schools and hospitals in those
lands because OF their limited capac-
ity, was especially pathetic.
At the close of the address the an
nual Offering was taken which
amounted to one hundred and ten
dollars. The ladies felt especially
thankful for this generous response.
Mrs. Humphreys also spoke to an
informal gathering of the ladies of
the church held at the parsonage
Saturday afternoon. About thirty
ladies were present and light re-
freshments were served by the men,
bers of the missionary socity. All

MODERN LIFE IN
TURKEY TODAY
Rev. Haskell Talks Interestingly on
Country of the Deposed
Abdul Hamid.

Rev. E. B. Haskell OF modern
Thessalonica, European Turkey.
greatly interested his audience at
the illustrated lecture on Modern
Life in Turkey given by him in
the Congregational church Saturday
evening. The stereopticon pictures
Of the people and other scenes In
Turkey shown by Mr.. Haskell are
very good and his lecture was pack
ed full of information about the
country in which he has so long re
sided. Mr.. Haskell also spoke at the
Sunday morning service in the Con-
gregationa1 church. Being a mis-
sionary to Turkey, the speaker gave
much consideration to that phase Of
the situation in the country Of the
Turk. ...,.- F. .
MIR. Haskell says he believes the
work of the missionaries in Turkey
had a great deal to do with prepar-
ing the Young Turks for the revolu-
ton when 1t came, but he says other
influences and causes also contribut-
ed to the new regime. He also thinks
that Turkey is slipping back to the
old deplorable conditions prevalent
during the rule Of Abdul Hamid. His
reason for advancing this view is
his conclusions after intimate study
Of the Young Turk rule. He says he
has observed that the Koran and the
theory Of brotherhood will not work
together and of course the Koran
and the old instincts inbred into
the Turk during all time past win.
The Turk wants equality and fra
ternity with the Turk on top. He
further said that discomfort is rumb-
ling among the people of Turkey ev-
en- now and that he would not be
greatly surprised II another OUT
break should come at almost any
time. While Mr.. Haskell claims to
be no prophet he thinks the other
powers will come in and divide up
the country among themselves IL an
outbreak should occur as a result Of
the present discomfort that Is rapid
ly spreading.
When the young Turks came into
power and the old sultan was over
thrown there were great denonstra-
tions OF joy. Conditions we're much
better the first year, but are now de-
teriorating.
Rev. Haskell considers the Ital-
ian-Turkish war as unjustifed on
Italy's part. ....
Christianity in Turkey is opening
up the way for business for Ameri-
can industries, says Mr. Haskell. Es-
pecially through the medium OF the
industrial and agricultural school, Is
American business being advertised.
American machinery Is used there
and the red-fezzed population Of the
eastern country quickly decides 1t
wants the same kind. American
windmills and farm machinery Is
being used and agencies have been
established there .. ..5
