DUBUQUE P. M.
TAKES OFFICE OCT. ]

Dubuque, Sept. 8.-Dubuque will
have new postmaster on Oct |, when
Louis Brede will step into the Of
fetal shoes worn during the past four
years by Herman Ternes. S.
Mr.. Brede received his commission
some days ago, but cannot and would
not attempt to take charge of the Of
fee until auditors and inspectors from
the department come to check over the
Office, give Mr.. Ternes his receipts and
turn the Office over in regular manner.
It is presumed that Adam Doerr,
assistant postmaster, will retain his
position. as he is understood to be
under civil service regulations.
1t is not anticipated there will be
any immediate radical changes in the
office as it is said Mr.. Brede proposes
going slowly and doing what he can
to give Dubuque the best service pos
sible.

.C0UR|ERS lose
At CENTERV|LLE
SUBSTITUTED FOR LEAGUE TEAM
IN DOUBLE BILL SUNDAY
TWO GOOD GAMES.

The Ottumwa league team, winners
Of the Central association pennant were
billed for a double mix at Centerville
yesterday, but owing to the crippled
condition Of several members of the
Eteam were unable to fill the engage
ment. and the Courier team went to fill
the dates, which they did in a credit
able manner, and while they lost both
games by close scores, the local lads
feel that they made a fine showing, as
Centerville has one of the fastest sal
aried independent teams in this part of
the state, and were loaded up with
several Cedar Rapids Central associa-
ton players. with the expectations OF
! defeating the Ottumwa league team.
The first game started out with the
Courier team two in the lead. which
they held for three innings, when by
the one, one route Centerville tied the
score They forged ahead, however in
the sixth and won the game in the last
half Of the eighth, when they secured
three runs. Prichard was on the mound
for Centerville, with Wheeler, the old
Ottumwa league backstop, doing the
receiving. While he was hit hard, he
kept them we'll scattered. and several
times the Couriers had men on bases
but were unable to score. Babe" Simp-
son, the Courier southpaw, was on the
mound for Ottumwa and pitched fine
ball, with Price doing the receiving.
Price made several sensational high
foul catches against the grandstand,
and on one occasion picked bad one
out Of the wire netting. The final score
in this game was to 2.
The second game was by agreement
five inning affair. and was the most
exciting Of the two games. Hofer, the
Cedar Rapids 7 Central association
pitcher, was on the mound for Center
vile with Wheeler behind the bat.
Rutter pitched a nice game for the
Courier with A. Cochrell receiving The
printers secured one run in the first
and one in the third. while Centervflle
secured one in the second and three in
the last of the fourth. In the first of the
fifth with two men on bases, Simpson
was sent in as a pinch hitter and drove
to the fence, bring in two runs. With
the score standing four and four, Cen
terville came to bat in the last half Of
the fifth. The gate in the right field
fence had been opened to permit an
auto pass out, and before 1t was closed,
Luke drove one through the gate,
which went for a home run, the open
gate winning the game for Centerville.

Stunning. The day Of cheap living is
gone by. We can never have cheap

The boy of today is the man to solve
these problems.
We must have home rule in our cit

Editor Courier.-I am for home rule.
Cities must have power to take care
of community. Municipal ownership
must come very soon. European coun-
tries grant city rights and people Of
this country will demand privilege.
America was started out with the idea
that all men are created equal. Are

out? / am not talking of dreams, but
Of the great reality. We have arrived
at the great crisis. We have caught

we have. Already the problem is a

CATHOLIC BISHOP
HITS BOTH SIDES
Is IMPARTIAL IN FIXING BLAME
FOR The COAL STRIKES IN
WEST VIRGINIA.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 8-Greed OF
coal operators as we'll as the miners,
Bishop P. j.. Donahue of Wheeling,
w. Va, told the senate investigating
|.committee today was the fundamental
cause of the West Virginia strike. Ex-
orbitant prices in company stores,
from Is per cent to ~ per ce4t above
the market, he gave as .n instance Of
| the attitude Of the operators.
! The bishop was on commission
(, which investigated conditions on Paint
Creek and Cabin Creek. He was agree
ably surprised by the living conditions
| of the miners.
"Of course we found no Turkish
rugs but we did find fairly comfortable
,; workingmen's homes" said the pre-
late.
Were the men contender" asked
Senator Kenyon.
Il can best answer in the words Aof
Griffith, who said the men would not
be satisfied until they owned the
mines
Quotes Psalm.
Coming to the cause OF the strike,
the bishop quoted line from the
psalms-"The rich man flaunts his
wealth and sets the poor man on fire"
and declared it applied to the situa-
ton in West Virginia. He added that
infidelity has been taught to the min
ers-that they had been taught that
the saying poor we have with us al
ways" was farce, and that the min
ers had just as much right to automo-
biles and to live in KanaWha street as
the coal operators.
Senator Borah contended that if la
boring men were not ambitious they
would become industrial slaves.
All, but not so, if property owners
are not filed with greed" returned the
bishop. Il believe men should hold
property, not as their own, but as trus-
tees for others and that trusteeship
should be shown by acts"
Senator MARITIME asked Bishop Don
ahue if labor unions were not organic
ed in his opinion for the good of the
members. The bishop hesitated until
the question was repeated, then said:
That may be one reason; another
is to furnish fat salaries to officials"
did you ever hear of an official
that was worth $20,000?" demanded At
torney Stedman for the United Mine.
Workers..
II did not speak of accumulations;
referred to salaries returned the
bishop calmly.
Presents Remedy.
Senator MARITIME asked the bishop
what he would do to remedy conditions
if he had the power.
First of all, would require both
operators and miners to go to church,
twice every Sunday said the bishop.
IL would give each bible as steer
ing chart and then give them about
eight beatitudes and make them hang
two or three in their bedrooms. such
as Blessed are the poor in spirit and
Blessed are the meek These would
cause them to forget to use the ma
chine guns

FOLLOWING RIOTS

Rome, Sept. S.-The streets of Rome

pope. y" &'. 70 $ "a Z
A great parade that had been plan
ned was prohibited by the police on
account of threatened reprisals by the
anti-clericals. Notwithstanding the
strictest measures to insure order, a
few scuffles occurred amid cries from
the Catholics Of .''Lcng live the pope, ;
to which the anti-clericals responded
by shouting, Long live free thinking"
Four hours were occupied by the
athletes In reaching St. Peters, where
they unfurled flags and passed into
tie court of San Damaso. They knelt
when the pope appeared on the bal
cony surrounded by the pontifical
court. ~ ~ Il -
The athletes, pilgrims and others in
the assembly numbered 5000, and
after the apostolic benediction had
been, impaired they arose and gave a
triple hurrah. The pontiff inquired re-
garding the obstacles which had been
placed in the way of the demonstra-
ton and urged extreme prudence.
The Osservatore Romano publishes
an article inspired by the vatican, pro-
testing against the prohibition of the
parade, which 1t considers an offense
to the liberty of. Catholics. and urges

YOUNG FARM HAND
 TAKES CREOSOTE
BROUGHT TO THE CITY AND PUL MOTOR APPLIED, BUT COULD
 NOT SAVE HIS LIFE.
Had Become Despondent and Believ- ed That fiis Life Was in Perii from People Who We're After Him.

Michael Ross, a young Austrian farm hand, about 26 years of age, drank large quantity of creosote at the Castleburg place, out on the Malvern avenue road yesterday morn- ing at II o'clock, and about two hours later died at the city jail where he had been taken when brought to he city for medical attention.
 Just what quantity of the very se- we're poison the young man drank could not be assured. Coroner Dr. J. P. Randolph, who attended him and used stomach pump with some temporary effec.. said the young man must have drank more than a quart of the poison. He evidently drank from d large sized tin cup which was used in the poison on post ends which the young man had been setting, in the building of a fence at the Castle burg kennels.
 About six weeks ago Ross came to the place and applied for work. He was given employmen. and seemed to be all right except for hallunica tiohs he had that some people were after him to do him injury. He talk ed so much of this that Mrs. Castle burg was somewhat alarmed abou
 him, but he had never done anything to indicate he was violent.
 Some time yesterday morning th' young man went to the house wher' | the ereosote was kept. just under tn foundation and evidently drank sey
 eral cups full. Mrs. Castleburg look
