VATICAN POLITICS.

News of the Illness probably fatal.
of Cardinal Oreglia, next to the pope
the highest officer in the Catholic
church, has attracted attention to
some features Of church government,
and to the influence which aid in
shaping the policies Of the great
Catholic hierarchy. The proceedings
attending the election Of u pope are.
of course, no. made public, and there
will be recalled the feeling Of sus-
penSe which existed as. for several
days, ballot after ballot was taken in
the College Of Cardinals until at last
a choice was made. 1t is said that
Cardinal Oreglia, who has always
been OF the aggressively conservative
type, stood firmly all through the days
OF doubt for the election of the Vene.
tian cardinal who became Plus Y, and
because Of h close friendship which
has existed between the two. the pope
has depended greatly on the advice
and assistance of Oreglia.
In this connection arises a matter
Of interest to American students Of
church politics. Everyone is familiar
with tho efforts that have been made
to secure II election of Archbishop
ireland. OF st. Paul. to the position
of cardinal. Leading Catholics have
insisted that the numbers of the Cath
Ole population Of the United States,
n n Importance of that big group
in the great circle of world Catholic
ism, entitled the United States to all
other cardinal, and there was quite
general agreement that Archbishop
Ireland was the right. man for the
place. Hence. until quite lately,
whenever a vacancy has occurred in
the college, there has been a general
expectation that the st. Paul prelate
would be chosen to I'LL the vacant
place. But each time another choice
has been made. until Of late it has
been tacitly assumed that for some
reason unknown Archbishop ireland
was not to be. elevated to the higher
rank.
News dispatches commenting on the
illness of Cardinal Oreglia assign a
reason for this. They say that Greg.
liza was the warm friend ana loyal
follower of the late Cardinal I1edo-
chowski, a conservative Of the con-
se%rvatives; that to Ledcchowski the
liberalism and prosresstveness of ire
land were extremely distasteful, and
that he had consistently opposed the
American for this reason. Oreglia.
in turn. during the years Of his W
influence. has followed the course of
opposition adopted by his departed
friend.

Wilson appropriates for her out OF

and to most, We think, it will seen
to be not enough adequately To pa,

We are far from wholly without

c~alitics and on the same land for
twenty years. seed of one variety hav.t

Of the other from Turkcstan. Both
of these statements are challenged
by the professor. who says that there
is no alfalfa seed in America which
has been raised. on the same fields
for twenty years from imported Rus
sian or Turkestan seed. He asserts
that the first Russian alfalfa seed
ever brought to this country from
Russia was brought by himself in
1906. and that in 1898 he imported
the first seed from, Turkestan. He
says that the seed offered for sale
was raised in South Dakota. and that.

results. hut that it is the same seed
that is being offered by local growers
and local seeds1men all over the state.

WiSacky Notes.

Wisacky, Feb. 1S.-We are having
charming weather and the farmers
are making good use Of it. There
has been more work done on the
farms already than was done UP to
the first Of April Of last year. .PIow-
ing, clearing fence rows and ditch
banks, cleaning out bitches. digging
stumps, and repairing out-buildings
has been going on for some time
and some have their fertilizer hauled.
The oat crop looks well and there
are lots Of them planted.
Numbers of our folks visited the
corn exposition and were greatly
pleased. 1t was certainly educating,

the corn exhibited by Virginia and
Illinois has reached the highest
state Of perfect on.
From what l can learn there will
be as much fertilizer used this Year
as was used last year. 1t is en-
couraging to see so much home raised
corn and hay, being sold, and at ex-
cellent prices.
Lots Of meat has been saved. A
few have lost some meat, it being too
warm to save it One man not far

BOYS PRACTISE DAILY.
High School Expects to Put out Strong
Baseball Team This Season.

The High School expects to put out
strong baseball team this season
and to this end those trying for the
team are practising every afternoon
now with the coming Of warmer
weather and longer days. There is
some excellent material at the High
School and indications are that a rec
ord breaking team will be sent forth
on the diamond.
At present many Of those Offering
for the team who are of the tenth
grade are also practising their
speeches every afternoon and there
fore do not have time to do a great
deal Of practising. Also a number Of
these boys are practising to enter the
State High School athletic contest
and this prevents them from attend
ing baseball practise as they should
like to do.

Western Union Telegraph Company
Makes RcnOvations i'm Office.

The Western Union Telegraph
Company has OF late made several
important changes in its office in the
way Of installing new furniture and
making arrangements more comfor-
table for employees and patrons.
New furniture consisting Of a desk
for patrons, a new counter, tables and
oi1ce desks has been installed, taking
the place Of the old furniture which
mad been in the office for many years
and which had for long shown signs
or wear and old age. The new fur
niture presents quite an attractive ap-
peranoe and has been noticed by all Of
the patrons of the office, while at the
same time it makes things much more
comfortable for the employees.
AT the same time that the furni-
ture was installed the walls were
gone over and the woodwork was re-
painted and the plastering re-calci-
mined. a new fixture which will be
of service to patrons is the booth for
long distance telephone. The tele-
phone line has not yet been installed,
but will be in a short time.
