James Paul Garyin, fifth child of
James Stewart and Avis Bunce
Garvin, was born in Minneapolis,
Mimi, Feb. 2, 1887, and died at
the home of his sister, Rev. Jessie
G. Getty, Extra, Iowa, on Sept. "a,
1915 at the age of twenty-eight.
When five years of age, Paul
was a little orator of wonderful
talent, and when fourteen, he had
given orations and sung temper-
ance songs in fourteen hundred
concerts In this way, he rendered,
even in childhood, an effective
minis ry in the great prohibition
wave which has now made self
feit over our nation.
He attended Hedding College in
Abingdon, H., until the disease,
which took his life, ruined his
eyes, and he was obliged to give
up his ambition for university
training.
Early left an orphan, he became
the manly helpful companion of his
sisters and generous friend to
all who knew him.
While boy, he became men,
Der of the NJ. E. church., rendering
to it later brief ministry of four
i and one half years as q, pastor in
Central, Illinois Conference
September goth, 1911, Mr.. Gar
vim married Miss Kate Eve Carnes
of Woodruff, ILL.,, who with two
babies, survives him. He also
leaves two sisters, Rev. Jessie G.
Getty, Extra and Mrs. Chas Vandet-
tum of Cropsey, Illinois.

struggled bravely to make good, and
when he knew death was near, he
surrendered his will to the Lord
in a beautifully triumphant faith.
The flowers and music which he
passionately loved, made his ILL
ness less tedious, and he repaid
every favor with sincere appre-
citation and. the fine example of a
soul unaffaad, going home to his
God.
Prayer was offered at the Congre-
gational parsonage, before the fu-
neral party left on Saturday morn
ing by Rev. Grinyer, and the fu-
neral services were conducted by
Rev. Joe Bell of Galesburg,, in the
little chapel In Henry Co., Ill. in
which Mr.. Garvin was married four
years ago. In spite OF storm the
chapel was provided, and the cask-
ct buried in flowers by those who
loved him.
Interment was made in Lake

CARELESS WITH MATCHES

The lighting of one match and
throwing it care'essly can do a lot
of damage in > short time This was
the eXperiance hail at the Clemme II
sen Bros garage at Elkhorn Sat
urday. Some lads are said to have
been smoking cigarettes in the
back part of the building, and one
of them, after lighting his cigarette
threw the ma IN carelessly without
prung the ire cut.
y fire started, and Peter, tue
son of Andrew lorgensen who was
employed there, was badly burned
about his lower limbs in attempting
to carry out a vessel of some kind
containing gasoline. He was imme-
dately taken to DR.. James office
and cared for. While the fire
was put out with fire extinguishers
after it had done considerable dam
age to the building and other things
in the building.
We expect it will be hard fol-
any cigarette fiend or any one
using smoking tobacco to find
places to loaf in any of the CARA ges
in this town for a while.

POPE ASKS PRESIDENT
 TO HELP BRING PEACE:
 AWAITS NATIONS CALL
Cardinal Gibbons Presents Papa1 Plea in to State Department and White House-Unted States to Take No Steps Unless It Is Acceptable to All Bel igerent Nations.

Washington, Sept. 3.-A message in writing from Pope Benedict to Presi- dent Wilson in the interest of peace in Europe was presented to the Presi- dent yesterday by. Cardinal Gibbons. The Cardinal said afterward that the President was greatly gratifed. He made the important announcement that the message he delivered to the President was for the United States alone, and was not communicated to any other neutral nation.
 While the terms of the Pope's com znunication are not disclosed, and there is no authoritative statement as to it's effect up on this government it may be said that t>the United SStates will not undertake to make overtures to all Or any of the warning powers unless it is assured in advance that it's meditation will be acceptable to every great nation concerned.
 In this connection it is learned that the government knows that Great Britain and probably the other mem bers of the quadrup1e alliance would regard as unfriendly any effort of the United States to attempt peace nego- tiations at this time. For this 1esL- son, in addition to it's own decision to follow a policy of caution, it may be taken for granted that if neutral parties sdesire to initiate a peace movement at this time they must not look to the United States to act as the peacemaker. This government will act only upon request of the prin- cipal be1ligerents or authentic assur- ances that they are now willing, to dis cuss an anicab1e settlement of their differences, unless one group should make the propoaI in the realization that it cause was 1ost-in other words, SUI for peace.
 There is a growing belief here that 4,.i1 f<1 peace. Observers here insist that the Teutonic allies believe that under present conditions they are in a strong position to get advantageous. peace terms.
 With the President a Half Hour
 Cardinal Gibbons called at the White House by appointment at 2 o'clock and had an interview with the President lasting nearly half an hour. The interview took place in the Blue Room. the apartment where distin- guished visitors are received The Cardinal went from the White House to the State Department, where he talked with Secretary Lansing for an

other 30 minutes. On both occasions he was accompanied by Mgr. William T. Russell, rector. of St. Patrick s church of this city. From the State Department the Cardinal went to St. Patrick's rectory or a few minutes, thence to the Union station, where he took train for Baltimore.
 In their Interview the Cardinal and the Secretary of State talked of the Mexican situation incidentally, but they did not discuss the matter of the disposition of Catholic property or the protection of Catholic rights in that country. The major portions of the Cardinals interviews with the Presi- dent and the Secretary of State were taken up, it, was said, in discussing the peace proposal of the Pope No statement was forthcoming from either the executive offices or the State Department. Cardinal Gibbons said it was true that he had delivered to the President a message from the Pope, but he was unable to discuss it for publication. He said the inter- view with the President was highly satisfactory, and hsf was much pleas ed with his recep ption by the Presi- dent. The entire situation was gone over, 'tand might add" said the Cardinal, that the President was greatly gratifed ''
 The Cardinal furnished the infor- nation, in response to inquiries as to whether it was likely that the Pope's message to the President would be made public, that he was communi- eating with the Vatican, and might be able to have something to say in a few days.
 '"The settlement of the questions of issue between Germany and the Unit ed States has brought the possibility of peace nearer" said Cardinal Gib- bons. '*I expressed to the President most decidedly my great qualification over the advantageous conclusion of the discussions with Germany
 In the absence of any disclosure as to the nature of the Pope's message to President Wilson, it may be worth while to mention that in a quarter usually well informed on matters concerning the Catholic church the statementzzwas made that the Pope desired the President to draft and present to the. European belligerents proposal for a cessation of hostili- ties, during the pendency of which possible trms for a settlement of their differences might be discussed. It is

Paris Police Make Great Roundup of
 LaWless Elements

Raris, Sept. 3-Promenaders on the grand boulevards of Paris have recently been treated to a spectacle comparatively rare since the begin ming of the war in general police raids such as were effedted at regular intervals during the days of the ''Apaches''
 In the Eigth and Ninth arrondisse-- ments, comprising Montmartre and BeIleVi11e, the favorite quarters of the IaWless element, and On Lne grand boulevards, the raids are most -th5ov-- ough. They are organized by Mon s1eur Roussolet, chief of one of tho metropolitan districts, who has under his orders eight comrnissaires of po-~ lice and two police captains, who command four squads of 'spiain clothes men that sweep the bol1le wards. Two squads operating on both sides of the boulevard start from Rue de Faubourg Poissonnterre: while, two other squads start from the Madeline, and they work toward each other Every man and woman un- known to the police as a, lav-abidi1sg person must show papers The re- suit of 8 recent raid of this kind was the verffcation of the papers of 52 professional beggars, four cocaine merchants. II special yagabonds, IT deserters and z03 women of the street Of these 512 were arrested.
 Besides the rounds of the "pIain clothes" men on the hunt for civilians in default, subaltern officers of tho army now make nightly rounds of the wine shops and cafes for delinqueut soldiers. When one is seen inside a wine shop after the stroke of nine. a sharp reminder in the form of a, sin gle mflitaire" brings him to a realf- zation that martial law is still in force, and he salutes meekly and rer turns to. his quarters.

The publishers ad- dress, according to the inscription beneath the title, is "Kommandatur' the German headquarters, which is the editors little joke. of course. A copy is always delivered to each of the leading German officials.
 The aim of the paper, according 70 its own statement, is ''to sustain the spirit and patri otism'' of the Bel gian people. Events of the war are dealt with in ary fashion and the people are shown why they need not be discouraged.

Russians In Wilma
 Put Shoes on Geese

Petrograd, Sept. 3-Vi1na, the Russian city which has figured so ex- tensiveIy in the operations of the re- treating armies from the Warsaw district, is probably the only place in the world where geese are shod.
 The Wilma district is celebrated for producing geese, which are sold by thousands in distant markets. In normal times, great focks are driven by the goose-herds to the famous goose fair or market at Warsaw, 200 miles distant To prevent the birds geetfng footsore on the long journey, they are made during the late aut-= unn to walk through tar, and then through fine sand. The geese are thus provided with a perfect fitting pair of boots, in which they can com fortabIy make the long tramp to market.
