The Agricultural Department of
Dublin, Ireland, announces that the
following information has come to
hand as to the progress of tillage op-
erations in certain counties and dis
tricts in Ireland.
County Tyrone.-Ploughing is now
rapidly proceeding. The county is
tilling very we'll.
County Cork (Kinsale, Middleton and
Youghal Districts) .-Ploughs are at
work everywhere. The majority of
occupiers seem inclined to do their
very utmost in the way of extra til
lage, apart altogether from the com
pulsory tillage requirements. At two
centres ploughing is being carried out
on the hiring system. Potatoes, oats
and wheat appear to be the crops most
in favor.
County Derry.-The disappearance
of the frost was followed by a com
plete change in the face of the coun
tryside, due to the extensive plough
ing operations at present in progress
AS many as four teams have been
counted at work together in the same
field. On some holdings as much as
80 per cent of the entire acreage is
being put under cultivation.
County Roscommon (Northern Por

FINE lnBUTE
BISHOP Err
TOTHE SOLDIER
Bishop Of Lead, S. D., Makes Principal
Address at Big Reception Given to
South Dakota Troops Returning
from Mexican Border - Courage
Never Falters.

Lead, S. D-A public and enthusias-
tic reception was rendered Company
H, Fourth South Dakota regiment, on
it's return to Lead. Among the speak
ers was the Rt. Rev. Bishop Lawler
In his address the Bishop said in part:
''In the minds of many of our people
the idea of soldier is associated with
bygone days and with an outgrown
necessity. We have become accus-
toned to speak only of our odd SOL
diers. Why, there are those among
us who seem to think that the days
of soldiers are over. They lull them
selves into a state of false security,
imagining that somehow no war will
ever cross our country's pathway
down through the centuries. The vi
sion of America unarmed but i'm
mune from attack, is too beautiful to
be true. There is danger ahead for
our nation as we'll as for any other ma
tion.
Much as international arbitration
for the settlement of disputes between
nations is to be desired it is not yet
a reality. Well trained defenders of
the flag are as necessary now as at
any period of our national existence.
"Not the old soldiers but our young
soldiers should be the heroes. The
old soldiers did their part nobly. !
will praise their valor with any man;
but I claim that it is on our young
soldiers of today that we must rely for
the protection of all that our country
holds dear. They are the strong right
arm of the present and the hope of the
future.
"The American soldier needs no
apology. He has always given a good
account of himself. Under Washing
ton he was as resolute as the old
guard at Waterloo. In the Civil War
his courage never faltered. In the
Spanish-American struggle he was
true to the traditions of his forefath
ers. And still today his patriotism, his
initiative, his humane motives, his re
spect for authority mark him as sol
dier with heart, and conscience.

Inspiring Meeting Held in Cathedral
HaII-Bishop McGoIrick Urged Men,
bers to Famiiiarize Themselves with
Irish History.

The regular meeting of the Irish
History club of Division No. l., J.. A.,
"A. o. H., was held Tuesday evening in
the clubrooms at Cathedral hall, under
the leadership of Miss May r.. Ham
mill The program opened with the
singing of "rhe Star Spangled BAN
ner," led by the auxiliary chorus. This
was followed by Rt. Rev. Bishop Nc.
Golrick, who spoke of the necessity Of
such meetings and of the good which
might be accomplished by them. The
bishop urged those present to famil-
iarze themselves with the history of
ireland so that they might the better
understand present conditions in the
Little Green Isle" and better discern
under what conditions our people
there are struggling.
Miss Lucille Shook then read "The
Two Home Comngs," by Abbie Ham
ilton Donnell and responded to an en-
core. She was followed by Miss Mar
garet Lynott who gave two piano
numbers in a very pleasing manner.
Mr.. T. j. Doyle was then introduced
as "a rising young attorney of the
city, the son of true Hibernian par
ents." Mr.. Doyle gave very interest
| ing and instructive talk, taking for
his subject 1.-The Dublin Insurrection.
The speaker outlined the causes of
the outbreak of Easter week, showing
that it was almost wholly due to eco.
nomic conditions. The program closed
with the singing of God Save Ireland
led by the auxiliary chorus.

A REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN.
100000 ls Raised in Ten Days TO
Parocf1ial School.

A campaign conducted by Mr.. Shef-
field, who is well-known for his work
in the Northwest, to raise 100000 in
ten days, has just been concluded in
Washington, D. G. The object was to
obtain funds for the erection of a
girls parochial school in the parish of
st. Aloysius. The actual amount
raised was more than the goal of $780,
600. A remarkable part of the work
was that eighty-five per cent of the en-
tire amount was contributed by men,
bers of st. Aloysius parish, which, it
seems, is not composed of wealthy peo-
pie.

Great Sympathy Expressed BY Leg.
isIators.

Nebraska is the first state in the
Union to respond to the Nationalists'
appeal to the United States on behalf
of Justice for Ireland. The house of
representatives passed the following
resolution of sympathy with the Irish
people in their struggle for national
liberty, introduced by Representatives
Craddock, Lovely, Cronin and Regain
1t reads as follows:
Whereas, it is not only the happy
privilege, but the conscientious duty
of all who possess the blessings of
liberty to sympathiZe with those, who,
by lawful means, are struggling to
obtain like condition. and,
Whereas, the Irish people after
long and painful sacrifices and strug-
giles secured the passage of a Home
Rule bill in the British parliament,
which, by the signature of the King
of Great Britain and Ireland, has be-
come statute Of that realm, but be-
cause of the opposition of the English
aristocracy and the inhabitants of the
northeast portion of Ulster, has been
kept in abeyance, and subject to pro-
longed postponement, to the injury and
disappointment Of the Irish people.
Whereas, instead of putting the
Home Rule statute into operation, and
keeping faith with the people of Ire
land pledged by the king and parlia-
ment, that statute has been treated
as a scrap of paper; the rights of
the constitution have been suspended,
and the people compelled to undergo
the oppression of martial law, admin
istered and executed by class motor
ious for it's hatred of Irish national
aspirations, and,
Whereas, the legitimate representa-
tives of the Irish people, under the
leadership of John e. Redmond, have
appealed to the United States, and to
the self-governing democracies within
the British Empire, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the house Of repre-
sentatives of the state of Nebraska
believing in the principles of the Amer
ican Declaration of independence and
in the equal rights of small nationali
ties to life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness, and that the observance of
such rights is the surest guarantee
of the worlds peace, do hereby express
our sympathy with the demands made
by the Irish parliamentary party, that
the Home Rule bill shall be no longer
kept in allegiance, but shall be put into
active operation; and that the Irish
nation, to which we are bound by
blood and by the gallant services o1
her sons in every crisis of our history
shall be permitted to enjoy as a SOW
ereign kingdom OF the British Empire
the same measure of liberty that We
possess as sovereign state of our glor

Irving Cobb Tells Ancestry Of Historic
Families Of Southern States; Not
AngIo-Saxons-Fifty Per Cent Irish.

In an address lately delivered at the
cal Society, Mr.. Irving S. Cobb said in
part:
l discovered a lot of things about
the lost tribes of the Irish in the
south. The state of Kentucky, from
which hail, has been called the era
die of the Anglo-Saxon race in Amer
lea, and it has been said that the
mountaineers Of that state, with their
feuds and their Elizabethan, Chaucer-
ian methods of speech, represent the
purest strain of English blood to be
found today on this continent. Now,
then, let us see if that is true. I have
looked into that matter and tell you
that so per cent, at least, of the dwell
ers of the mountains of the south and
notably of Kentucky and Virginia are
the lineal descendants of runaway in
denture men, Irish rebels, mainly from
the Virginia plantations. I know a
mountain country in Kentucky of
which half of the population bear one
of three names. They are either
Mayos or Patricks or Powers And I
once heard an orator stand up before
an audience of those Mayos and Pow
ers and Patricks and congratulate
them on their pure English descent,
and they believed it.
The congressional district in which
I was born and where used to live
has thirteen counties: Marshall, Cal
loway, Graves, McCracken, Lyon, Liv.
ingsgton, Caldwell, Triggs, Crittenden,
Ballard, Hickman, Fuller, and Carlise
thirteen counties, and all but two
of them have Irish names.
What is true of my own sections of
Kentucky is true of the rest of the
state. Daniel Boone has been called
the first explorer of Kentucky and it
has been said he was of English de.
scent. Both of these statements are
wrong. Daniel Boone was not the
first explorer of Kentucky. The first
man to explore Kentucky was an Irish
man by the name Of John Finley. But
before him was still another Irishman
by the name of McBride-James Nc
Bride. Aside from his name, it is
proven that he was an Irishman by
the legendary circumstances that i'm
mediately after coming ashore he
carved his name in deep and enduring
letters in the bark of the largest beech
tree of the forest, and claimed all Of
the land that lay within his vision as
his own, and shot an Indian or two
and went on his way rejoicing. AS fol
