Death of Catholic Leader.-By the
recent death of Franz Brandts at
Observation-Disclosures in Germany, Cath
clics have lost one of their most sue
cessful social workers, pioneer and
pathfinder for the present generation.
Outside of Germany his work is better
known than his name. There is no one
familiar with Catholic social organi-
cations who has not heard of the great
Volksyerein with its 100000 members.
Comparatively few, however, know of
the important part played in its
foundation and development by this
Catholic leader who was placed at its
head, with Windthorst as honorary
president, and who remained its con-
slant director. It's program of social
instruction, its activity in every field
of social service, its uneQualled
literary productiveness have long been
the admiration of friend and foe. So
cialists themselves, against whom the
influence of the great Catholic organi-
cation was always directed, have ac-
corded to it their highest tribute of
praise for its thoroughness and eff
cheney. 1t was largely due to the

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN

Dies Moines, Week Ending May s.
The week as a whole was cold and
cloudy The average temperature
was slightly above the normal in the
eastern and central and slightly be-
low the normal in the western dis
tricts. No frost occurred except in
the extreme northwestern counties,
where the vegetation was not far
enough advanced to be injured. Co,
pious to heavy showers occurred in
all sections, but the rainfall was gen.
orally less than the normal in the
east central and was heavy and, in
some localities, excessive in the west
ern counties; the greatest amounts
being reported from the southwestern
district. The wet weather delayed
blowing, and the cold nights retard
ed corn planting. The rain, however
was of great value to grasses and
small grains. Cherry, plum and peach
trees are in full bloom in the central
and southern counties, but many ap'
pie trees are not showing the usual
amount of blossoms, probably owing
to the drought of last summer and the
heavy crop produced last year. A

NEW LIABILITY LAW
Drastic Measure Goes Into Effect
In Iowa July 1.

!, George Wrightman and John A.
Eddy, of Des Moines, were in town
last evening and addressed meeting
of business men at the Commercial
club rooms, on the features of the
new Employers Liability law, which
goes into effect on July /. The new
law is one of the most drastic meas
ures ever enacted In Iowa and makes
the employer of one or more persons
actually responsible for any accident
that may befall the employe while en-
gagged at work It also prescribes ex.
actly how much must be paid the EN-.
ploye for all kinds Of disabilities
and there Is no escape from this liza
bility. Drastic, however, as Is the

MANY new SIDEWALKS
Places Where None Now Exist Will
Have Them This Year.

As soon as stakes can be set and
grading operations now under way
can be completed and finished several
new sidewalks will be laid about town
in places where no sidewalk has ex-
listed before. Walks have been petit
toned for and in other instances pro-
perty owners have asked the authori-
ties for permission to proceed with
work and the only thing in the way
is the setting of grade stakes.
Sidewalks of this character that
will receive immediate attention are:
On the south side OF Eighth avenue,
between Seventh and Eighth streets.
On the east side of D street, south
from Fifth avenue.
On the west side of Eighth street
between Fourth and Fifth avenues.
On the east side of Market street
from the Hawkeye factory building.
south past the August Gottschlich
foundry to Eighth avenue
On the west side of North Seventh
street from the end of the walk now
in place, north distance of several
hundred feet.
And this is only a start for the
sidewalk work of the season as many
additional blocks of permanent walk
are now under consideration.
Council Must Investigate.
Application has been made to city
authorities for a new sidewalk on G
avenue West. There are four blocks
of the avenue on the south side from
Market street to D street.
Sidewalk has been asked for along
this stretch OF avenue, but the proper
ty owners interested claim there is
no actual or existing need at this
time for a walk in this place. Only
one residence property in the entire
distance, and this is within quarter
of a block of Market street. The
walks would pass along the length of
all properties with this single eXcep-
ton, up close to the sides of the
houses in many instances. Property
owners are Objecting to the proposed
work. they set up the claim that no
one would be accommodated who is
not now served with a single excep-
ton above mentioned. Chairman
Albert Mendenhall, of the sidewalk
committee of the council, was put
upon the job to investigate. He has
looked over the ground and has ask
ed that the place be visited by each
member of the council that they may
personally know of the circumstances
and conditions governing this partic-
ular case. cIsasb o. Gfag

suited at Keokuk last night

er correspondent gives the following
side notes of Oskaloosa:
ITO OskaloOsa belongs the honor of
giving the statewide campaign its
first start up the hill and SO well was
the service performed that everybody
aboard the train was saying when the
start was made for Ottumwa that Os-
kaloosa had set pace that spelled
nothing less than Greater Iowa"
Following the meeting the visitors
we're taken for a drive through the
residence districts. When the train
left for 0ttumwa it carried, in addi-
ton to the original forty, a bunch Of
Oskaloosa's most active boosters.
Besides there was the inevitable Don
Mcclure, who brought over five pas
sengers in an automobile. OF course
he was at the station when the train
pulled in. He said ne had been there
most of the day"
