Two days before Mrs. LaPierre was
summoned to East St. Louis, Mrs.
Herman Mueller Jr., another sister of
Mrs. Brothers, was called to the
Brothers home to attend the Brothers
children in the absence of their moth
er, who was removed to a hospital
None Of the messages received from
East st. Louis told what was the
cause of Mrs. Brothers illness, but the
two sisters, before their departure,
declared they believed it to be appen-
dicitis.
Mrs. Brothers had severe attack
of appendicitis before Christmas and
was forced to go to a hospital for
treatment. The sisters believed that
the present illness is recurrence Of
the former malady. Mrs. Brothers
at one time lived in Cape county.

of religion was impaired to the orig
inal apostles on Pentecost Sunday by
the appearance of the Holy Ghost, the
speaker declared.
Father Rolwing said that a popular
conception that the Pope at Rome is
infallible and rules the church in all
worldly matters of politics is wrong,
and that the Pope is infallible only
when directing the church, and is
capable Of being in error when advis-
ing concerning outside matters.

SPEAKS ON CHURCH STRENGTH
Father ROfwing Says Pope is Not
Boss in Political Game.

The infallibility of the Catholic
faith last night was described by
Father A. Rolwing, of Chaffee, in his
Lenton lecture at st. Mary's Catholic
church on South Sprigg street.
He said that the Catholic religion
is the only faith that has descended
directly from Jesus Christ through the
ordination of Catholic priests by the
band Of apostles, who acted according
to their instructions. The knowledge

A family season ticket carrying
with it the privilege Of casting one
vote for the officers for the ensuing
wear will be a feature embodied in the
organization of the proposed business
mems Care Girardeau Fair Associa-
ton, if the approval of the organiza-
ton committee is a criterion.
The committeeman met yesterday
afternoon in the Office of Judge Ed
ward D. Hays for 4 discussion of the
plans for the fairs organization.
Mayor Rage was called into consulta-
ton with the committee to discuss the
relation of the city as owner of the
fair grounds toward the fair venture.
The Mayor also gave the COM
mitteemen several other suggestions
which they stamped with their an
proval at once. The Mayor suggested
the adoption of the family ticket with
the voting privilege attached, and the
members Of the committee Endorsed it
without a voice of dissent.
The committeeman determined to
recommend formally to the regular
meeting of the Commercial Club to-
morrow night that the new fair ven
ture be entirely non-commorcial in
character.
The memberships in the association
will cost SO, it is proposed, and as
plany persons as possible in the Cape
and Cape county will be solicited TO
Join the association. The membership
virtually will be a donation to fund
with which the fair will be financed.
There is to be no arrangement for a
profit on the stock or membership in
the venture.
1t is proposed to hold the fair for
five days, the first day to be free.
Following that the single admissions
tentatively are placed at % cents and
the family tickets will cost 81. They
will pass an entire family through the
gate for the entire season.
In offering the suggestion, the
Mayor pointed out that the idea has
already been worked out by several
Illinois fair associations, which have
found it to work extremely well, Great
ing much interest in the organization
of the fair as well as the concessions
on the grounds.
The petitions for memberships will
be prepared for tomorrow night and
they will be circulated at once in an
effGlf to determine what the financial
support of the fair will be.
Judge Hays and o. A. Knehans,
members of the committee, were
delegated to draft tentative cOnsti-
tuition and bylaws which will be pre-
scented at a future meeting of the
organization.
The fair promoters have received a
q nuEication from the secretary of
the American Trotting Association to
the effect that under the rules Of the
association, the proposed Cape organi-
cation may join in the meeting that
will be held in Kennett this weekend
to fix dates for racing next fall.
As a consequence, Joel T. Num- will
go to Kennett tomorrow to represent
the Cape organization in making the
fair dates.
Those who attended the meeting
were Judge Hays, A. NJ. Tinsley
chairman of the committee), J. T
Num-, S. N. Carter, Will Hirsch, J. F
Masterson, w. F. Bergman, San
Sherman and o. A. Knehans.

SCHOOL ITEMS IF 5 INTEREST II
 PARENTS

The number of pupils enrolled at the close Of October in the Cordova school was 59. The per cent of at tendance was 96. There was more than the usual amount of tardiness. Parents might help to lessen the num- Der.
 The school received a cabinet mak- ing a display Of specimens and essen ces from the Crescent Manufacturing Company It has been given to the schools of Alaska having a domestic department, but after learning that 1t could be used in geography class and for general knowledge the com panys representative suggested Cor dova school have one. The pupils are delighted with 1t and wish to thank Mir Gaspard and the Crescent Manu- featuring Company for the case.
 The school has added two more large pictures to its collection - painting of George Washington on horseback and The Spirit of '76 The pupils wish to thank MT. Hegg for these pictures.
 At the beginning of October the pO- sition of ianitor was open. On sug- gestion the boys and girls saw an op- pOrtunity to do something. They always like to have treasury with something in it that they may spend for things they particularly want, and are willing to work for such as gym nastic apparatus, books, pictures, etc. After getting the consent of the direc- tors, the pupils took over the care of the school house for one month. The work is so organized that with the many hands it falls lightly upon each pupil The monthly wage Is to be di- vided among the three rooms, The fires have been cared for by two rc- liable boys, who have done their work well.
 The children do not get only the money they have earned. but have had experience in actual responsibility. They have been willing workers. many times desiring to do more than that which was allotted to them. The girls thought at first that they may have to show the boys how to sweep, but they learned that the boys were mt without eNnpFianpa There were no shirkers The lesson in general team work, steadines Of purpose, helpfulnes to others, and in neatness and cleanliness was not lost . Their month ends on the 9th of November. when MT Townsend will be their successor.

Of initials instead of their full name. but the figures given, if not precise. are very interesting since they de Velop the following facts:
 Of the 46 women seeking state of fices the majority (24 are nominees Of the Socialist party.
 Idaho is the only state in the United States where a woman is candidate for governor, Annie E Triplow. being the Socialist nominee for chief execu- tive there.
 There are thirteen other states throughout the country where women are seeking state offices. namely, Ari- zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana. Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Hi. nois and Kansas.
 In Washington there are two women candidates, Prohibitionlst and Social ist, for the office of lieutenant gover- nor, and two women Of the same par ties for state treasurer.
 In Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ari- zona. Colorado and Kansas there are women candidates for secretary of state. Various other offices, princi- pally as trustees of state universities. or superintendents of public instruc- tion, are those for which women have been named. In only one or two rare instances does it appear that the wo- men candidates are now holding the office for which they seek election.

to the boundary line, and then regu- late the rates of it's connecting steam CT lines from Eagle to points on the Yukon and Tana rivers.
 In the background of the coming hearings is also the fight for Alaska business between the Canadian and American lines. The Canadian com panies boat lines could charge any rate the Commerce Commission might fix to the rail haul in order to under cut the American lines. This suggests the need of an international commits sion between Canada and the United States, which likely will figure in the coming congress along with the facts now to be secured in Alaska by hear ings.
 Owing to Judge Wickershas know ledge of Alaskan conditions and the fight he has already made for the re ductiOn of rates in Alaska, and his expert knowledge of affairs at Wash ington. the peoples interests will be well represented before the hearings of the commission in Alaska and at Washington. The question is more than purely Alaska problem. it is a national problem; in fact, has come to be an international problem, and is bound to occupy considerable at tention from congress at the coming session.

COMPRESSION TO PROBE

H. C. Wilson, of Washington, D.

Bogle, counsel for the Alaska Steamship Company Judge B. S Grosscup, counsel, and R Y. James general freight and passenger agent for the Pacific Coast Company: Judge Gorham, of Seattle, and \. F. Zipf, an Alaska steamship official. are also here to attend the hearings in the interests of the different transporta- tiOn companies.
 Whether the commerce commission will have the power to fix rates for independent steamer lines not allied with rail connections, is still a mooted question. However, there seems to he no question that the commission has power to regulate or rather equal ize rates where discrimination is shown and 10 invoke the aid of the sherman antitrust law where it is shown that rail and steamer lines have formed a combination to control rates
 It has been charged. and it is eX- pected that proof will be presented that steamer companies have been making practice of giving canneries discriminatory rates as against the

merchants of Alaska. For instance. the canneries, it is alleged have been enabled to get their goods laid down at practically half the rate charged merchants. When it is considered further that many of the canneries have their own stores, that in this respect they compete with the Alaska merchants, and that most of them are transient, remaining in the territory only a few months to garner gold crop from the fish caught, and pay no property tax the same as paid by the local merchants, that most of them employ outside Oriental labor, and leave behind for the greater part of the year only few watChmen to guard the empty buildings, one may get an idea of the further injustice suffered by Alaska merchants, should the charges of discrimination prove cor rect
 While the Canadian steamer lines also have been cited to appear for the hearings, it is generally understood, of course, that no attempt can be made to regulate their rates, save per haps in American waters. For instance if it is finally determined that the In tcrstate Commerce Commission has the right to fix rates for rail and water lines in Alaska, it could then regulate the rates on the White Pass Company
