IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY TO BE
HELD AT THE NEW CATHOLIC
CHURCH BUILDING.

Just as The Republican goes to
press this afternoon Father Costelloe
of this city and Mr.. Kelley, of Du-
buque. called at this office and in
formed us that he had perfected
plans for the laying of the corner
stone for the new Catholic church on
next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Father Costello was unable to give
us detailed program of the cere-
monies to be held, but assured us
that number of prominent outside
men would be here to take part.
The new church is to be one of
the finest and best equipped in this
part of, the state, and it will always
remain as a monument to Father
Costeloe, who has worked so faith
fully with his people to bring about
the desired results.
We hope the weather will be such
Sunday that it will be comfortable
for people to attend. as we are GER
tain to hear some splendid talks. We
urge those who can to attend this
impressive ceremony.

THE BIG SALE TOMORROW.

Friday afternoon Aug Johnson
will hold his big sale at the stock
pavilion at the fair grounds. In this
sale he will offer 20 head of Larland
Herefords and men who are in a po-
sition to know say that the offering
is one of the best this year. Mr..
Johnson has been very successful in
the cattle business and the sale to-
morrow ought to be the best one he
has ever held.
He is making big offering at this
time because two of his sons are
now in the army and he is left at
home with a small boy and his pres
ent herd is too big for them to
handle. When his two boys left they
asked him to continue the Hereford
business and he promised them he
would. A number of buyers from
a distance arrived in the city today
to be in attendance. Tomorrow a
large crowd will be here and we
would not be surprised if some high
prices would be paid for the choice
of the offering.

CANDIDATES ARE
SPLENDID MEN
REPUBLICAN PARTY OF AUDI
BON COUNTY OFFERS ITS
BEST MEN.

The general election comes on
Tuesday of next week At that time
state, county and township offices
are to be filled We urge the voters
OF the county to go to the polls and
cast their ballots. We do not care
whether they are republicans or
democrats. Voting is a privilege that
comes to the American people and
we want everybody who is entitled to
vote TO exercise that right. Let's not
lie hackers" when it cores to vot-
ing any more than in an5tb ng else.
War OF no war, these offices must
be filled and the business OF the ma
ton must go on. Last week we gave
our readers list of the candidates
or the republican county ticket
They were known to practically all
of our readers. We are not going
to say much more about their effici-
ency for we feel sure that they are
recognized as efficient and capable
men. The candidates are as follows:
Representative. -..--...-..--.H j. Mantz
Auditor ....... w. J. Hamilton
Clerk of Courts. John Horning
Sheriff ..-.-.--...-......-,- Frank Wilson
Treasurer Hans Albertsen
Recorder -......-.-.-... ella Farquhar
Member Board. ]. II. Maharg
The candidates on the above
ticket are asking for reelection
with the exception Of w. j. Hamil-
ton, the candidate for auditor. The
present county officers, who are ask
ing for a second term. have given
general satisfaction and we believe
the voters OF the county will accord
them the customary second term. It
has been that way for years past
and there is no reason why this year
there should be any change.
AS for Mr.. Hamilton, we can say
that he is well qualified to fill the
position and being a courteous and
pleasant gentleman. will give the
people of the county a good admin
istration if elected He is one of
the boys who served in the Spanish
American war and served three years
in the U. s. army. He is a little
hashful about asking his friends to
vote for him, so some of us who are
his friends are asking support for
him. We know he will appreciate
your support next Tuesday
The Republican has no fault to
find with other candidates who are
running for office. We are inter-
ested in the republican candidates
and will use our utmost endeavors
to bring about their election We
know them, have talked to people in
all parts of the county and have yet
to find any dissatisfaction

Five but Who May Be
Re-CIassifed Under
Ruling.

Twenty or more men, placed for
the present in class five in the selec-
tive service classification. will be
given physical examinations tomor-
row at the Masonic temple here.
These men were placed in class five
when they made claims Of having
been exempted on previous examina-
lions on account of physical defects.
The local board, however. has new
ruling which will make 1t necessary
to re-examine these men, and pos
sibly to re-classify them in class one
Chairman Scott of the board was
taken i'll yesterday at Fort Madison,
and came home last night. He has

at a most inopportune time because
of the amount of work to be taken

Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said.
With a moderate increase in activity,
there was a decided improvement In
sentiment in Wall street today. This
resulted in advances throughout the
active list with only one or two ex-
ceptions. Industrial stocks, parttcu-
larly steels and equipments. reflected
the pronounced improvement in trans
portation.
The shipping stocks responded to
the reports Of the big increase In ton
mage value o. vessels sold in England.
Rails, too, were influenced to higher
levels by further appreciation of Union
Paciflc's dividend. Stocks opened
strong from fraction to point above
Thursdays close and developed fur
Their strength during the forenoon.
In the late trading, despite small re-
actions on profit taking, stocks gener'
ally maintained the gains OF the first
three hours and some highs for the
day. Tobacco, oil, shipping and steel
stocks were favored, but coppers were
neglected.

Is 1t worth while to work for the

Probably the best answer ever

who has been working for the Red
Cross. Here is the letter:
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Miss
Mary Bernhardt.-Dear Unknown
Friend: No doubt you will be sur
prised to hear from me, but l found
your card on what you claim is your
first piece of knitting for the Red
Cross. You say you hope that 1t will
keep some good soldier warm. Well,
it will keep me warm, providing you
call me a good soldier, as am try
Ing to be.
Your knitting is certainly fine.
Everyone here says SO, although l
am no Judge of such work.
The Red Cross has done 4 lot for
US, and this Christmas received a
box from them, which was the first
ever got In my nine years Of SER
vice. We don't know what would
have happened to us II It had not
been for you and the Red Gross, as
they are doing wonders.
We thank you from the bottom of
our hearts for we know that under
all the tribulations we are under
going, while fighting for this great
cause, protecting women and children
and fighting for the weak and the
cause of liberty, we have the people
and the Red Cross back of US.
