Easter Sunday will appear as late
in the season as it can happen this
year, April %. Ash Wednesday and
Easter Sunday were established by

latter to be fixed by solar and lunar

Ash Wednesday this year falls on

Ash wednesday will fall as late as

In view Of the approaching Tooth
birthday anniversary OF Captain ]. r.
Williams March %, perhaps a brief
sketch of his experience as steamboat
captain on the Mississippi river will
not be uninteresting, especially to riv-
er men, as he was at one time we'll
known from st. Louis to St. Paul and
also on the Illinois river from Peoria
to Henry and beyond His first river
service was in the spring of 1856, as
captain of the ferry between Warsaw
and Alexandria, contiL ing in that
trade until the ferry. ]. r. Williams,
was taken south in 1863 by Or Eng.
lish, Captain Williams declining to 60.
In September 1865, he went back on
the river, in the Eagle Packet Co., and
was the first president Of the COM
pany, holding that position until he
sold out in 1884; he was always cap
tain on one of the company's boats.
He was captain Of the steamer Eagle,
plying between Warsaw and keokuk,
and afterwards from Keokuk to Quin-
cy also was captain of the steamer
Grey Eagle, part Of the time on the
Illinois river, between Peoria and
Henry; Of the steamer Spread Eagle
in the Alton trade and the steamer
Bald Eagle when running between St.
Louis and keokuk, also the steamer
De Smet, a boat belonging to the
Eagle company. He made severa.
trips on her from st. Louis to Cincin-
natti, one one of which he came nea,
being drowned. by stepping from the
boat to the barge, not knowing that
the plank connecting the two had
been removed. He sank between the
boat and barge, and one of the boat
hands seeing him rise to the surface.
caught him by the hair and helped
him out. This was the only accident
he ever met with during all the years
he was on the river. In those days the
government had no shore lights for
the pilot to steer to, to make his
crossings safely, and many night
Captain Williams has stood ON the
hurricane deck, and by signals, aided
the pilot in guiding the boat in the
channel, sometimes facing rain and
wind and cold.

Taught English from Magazines.
TBy United Press

PORTLAND, Ore, March IL.
Willis Jeffries believes formal gram
mar and rhetoric text books should
be discarded from public schools.
This belief and the fact that Jeff-ies
taught his English classes from the
contents of current magazines and
popular novels, constituted "evil in
fluence, incompetence and insubord1-
nation" in the eyes Of the Portland
school board. Today Professor jeff
res is out of a job. but his influence
is still felt in Portland school circles.
in the midst Of his hearing before
the board which by unanimous vote
had disapproved his methods, Jeffries
resigned. Since resigning Jeffries has
spent most of his evenings lecturing
about town on the subject Of reforms
in the teaching Of English in high
schools. forget your textbooks on
grammar and rhetoric and learn Eng
lish by reading Stevenson, modern
authors and current literature" says

sales Of the company's bottle beer and
the rapidly increasing sales of their
non-alcoholic beverages, make THIS
additional capacity necessary. Orders
from all parts Of the country for the
latter beverages come also from the
states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado,
Arkansas, Wyoming, Arizona, Iowa,
ETC., and judging from the orders re-
ceived at this time of the year, next
summers orders for the product Will
constitute very large volume OF
business. Under the new arrangement.
each bottle before being filled, VIII
be soaked in a caustic solution for mr.
teen to twenty minutes at high tenn
perature, will then be brushed thor
oughly on the outside and will receive
two separate inside brushings and
three inside rinsings. This means
that every bottle will be absolutely
sterile before reaching the filling ma
chine; then after passing through
the pasteurizing process, there Is no
doubt that each filled bottle has had
perfect sterilization before reaching
the market. Nowhere is more pre-
caution taken in bottling establish,
ment than is taken under this ar
rangement, in fact there are very few
instances in which this amount Of pre-
caution is paralelled. The machinery
was decided upon after thorough In
vestigation by the company OF the
most modern machinery on the mar
ket. The installation Of this new
unit will necessitate also the enlarge
ment of the conFeyor system OF hand-
ling casks and cases and provision
will be made to handle these on the
conveyor system to and from the var1-
Gus parts of the department, which IN
clude the empty case receiving room,
the case and cask repairing depart
ment, the packing department and the
full stock department. In addition to
the propelling of all the new mach1n-
cry by electricity, it is the purpose OF
the company to change the present
steam driven machinery to motor
driven as soon as it may seem best,
and there will be few OF these
changes in progress almost as soon as
the new current is available.

dition TO Rectory.

A new steam heating plant is being
Installed in st. Peters Catholic
church and will be completed in "a
short time Heretofore the church
was heated from the plant in St.
Peters school. This heating plan,
however, proved unsatisfactory, and
a great deal Of trouble was occasioned
by the bursting Of the pipes connect
ing the two buildings.
The plant in the church is located
at the rear under the sacistry and a
chimney has been constructed on the
outside as high as the church roof
An addition to ST. Peters rectory
has recently been completed also.
The addition contains three rooms,
two up and one down. The first floor
room is used as a dining room.
