able. He will return to the hospital
every four weeks for X-ray treatment

tiated, were resold by the county
board Of supervisors Tuesday after
noon to White Phillips Company.
also of Davenport Two bids were
submitted, the Sckanke Company, Of
Mason City, competing with the
White Phillips Company for the
business.
The issue was taken at 5hs per cent
interest, or three -fourths OF l per
cent more than the rate fixed in the
original Bechtel bid. The White
Phillips company pays a premium OF
$1,000 or $12.S7 a thousand, as against
1910 per $1,000 offered by the Bechtel
company.
County Will Be Loser.
AS result of the failure of the
Bechtel company to fulfill it's con-
tract, the county will pay $4,000 in
| terest annually. as against S3,7O5,
the annual interest under the origi-
nal bid, a difference of $685. a year,
and will lose S4S9.S0, the difference
between the s1.4S9.S0 premium offered
| by the Bechtei company and the
81 900 to be paid by the White-Phil-

After having entered into a con-
tract to take the issue of $4,000 at

the county board that 1t would not

County May Ask Damages.
It is probable the county may in
stitute suit against the Bechtel COM
pany for damages covering the diff
ference IN the interest rates offered
by the Bechtel company and the
White Phillips Company, the differ
ence in the premiums offered, and
the cost of advertising and reselling
the issue.
The county will charge breach of
contract If suit is commenced. The
reason of the failure Of the Bechtel
company to fulfill it's contract, the
county board believes, was the
change in the money market which
made the Bechtel bid an Improbable
one.

The term Easter is supposed to
have been derived from Ostera, or
Eastre, the goddess of spring, ana
the personification OF the morning
The feast Of this goddess was cele-
brated by the ancient Saxons in the
spring Of the year.
This ancient pagan festival was
utilized by the early christian ia
theirs and by them turned into the
christian observance now known
turnout christendom as Easter.
There was a difference among the
eastern and western churches as TO
the date Of this observance, but in
325 A. d. the council Of Nice de-
clared that tho Easter celebration
should be held on the first Sunday
following the full moon, on or after
March 81. If the full moon should
happen on Sunday. then Easter
should fall on the following Sunday.
In all the church calendar, there Is
no more joyous day than Easter Day,
which commentaries the resurrec-
ton Of our Lord and Saviour from
the dead. And this Is as II should
be; for the resurrection Of Christ is
the most vital and fundamental fact
Of the life Of Christ. Had he remain
ed under the power Of death, his
death on Calvary would have been
considered nothing more than that OF
a mere man, like that of Socrates
and others. who have given their
lives in attempts to upHft mankind
against the forces that make for evil
and that destroy the good. But when
he burst the bands of death asunder,
he gave the browning proof of his
Deity. and added to Bethlehem and
Calvary significance and luster that
will never grow dim. There is little
wonder, therefore, that the christian
world has laid especial emphasis
upon the day on which the Saviour
arose.
If we take Easter Day as an illus
tration of how we should observe ev-
cry Sunday Of the year. it may be
most profitable to US. Easter Day is
a day of Joy. Organs peal it forth,
sublime music emphasizes it, SER
mons repeat the strain, and multi
tudes feel the joyous thrill that
comes from the fact of Christ's re-
surrection. Every Sunday should be
observed in joy, and not looked upon
as dreary and tiresome day. More
over it will not be, if we enter into
the service and worship of God as
sincerely and heartily as we do on
Easter Day.

tsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiasl
Washington, June 25.--The pop
ulation of Continental United
States is estimated at 105, 100000
by ]. A. Hill, chief statistician OF
the census bureau. His calcula-
ton is based on the combined pop
ulation of l,4O6 cities and towns
for which statistics have been an
nOunCed.
The increase of 1910 is placed at
about thirteen millions, showing
the growth of the country has not
kept pace with previous decades.
Almost complete cessation of im1nl-
grafton during the war is the chief
reason assigned for the falling or
in growth. Other suggestions were
the two influenza epidemics. re-
turn of aliens to their native lands
and deaths of soldiers abroad ana
at home during the war.
The aggregate population of the
cities and towns on which the
estimate was made is 4l,O29'35i /.
This is an average gain of 26 per
cent, compared with 30 per cent in
the previous decade.

Scranton, Pa, June 25.-Bellof
of local detectives that they had
located, Blakeley, the 13-months-
old sonof Mr.. and Mrs. George H,
Coughlin. who was kidnapped
from the family home at Norris
town on June ., was shattered to-
night when after two hours crowd
ed with dramatic scenes, the moth
err of the missing baby admitted
that a child found by the police
with couple living at a Central
CITY hotel was not her baby.
The baby is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. II. Williams of this city.
The scene in the hotel where Mrs
Williams and her baby were doml-
ciled while Mrs. Coughln was at
tempting to see the child, was dra-
matte in the extreme. Mrs WI
liams has been estranged from her
husband, according to her story,
and refused to open the door OF
her room or allow the other wom-
an to see the baby fearing she SAID,
that it was scheme on the part
of relatives of her husband to Sc
cure possession of it.
During the long parley between
the women, Mrs. Williams grew
historical and declared she would
kill herself if they forced their way
into the room, begging them to
wait until her husband could get
there.
1t was nearly midnight when
Williams put in an appearance. AS
he entered the hotel corridor an
attorney was on his knees in front
of the door of his wife's room talk
ing to her through the keynote.
Before the detectives could stop
him, williams struck the lawyer,
knocking him unconscious. In re-
turn he was himself knocked down
by one of the detectives.
williams then ordered the hotter
authorities to open the door, and
against his wife's protests, secured
O. photograph Of the baby in It's
mothers arms, which was shown
to Mrs. Coughlin and her attorney,
Both said it was not the Coughllh
child.

Washington, June 25.-The bill
lion dollar freight increase asked
for by the railroads of the coun-
try, is approximately $SS6,000,000
more than will be necessary to
give the six per cent standard re-
turn guaranteed by the Transport
tation act, Clifford Thorne, repre-
senting shippers, estimated today
at the general rate hearing before
the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Mr.. Thorne said the book
value" of $2O,600, 100000 used by
the roads in computing the return
was excessive by several billion
dollars.
Mr.. Thorne said that in com
putting the book value, the rail-
road managers had not made any
allowance for depreciation and
that such a method of appraisal
had been specifically repudiated
by the United States supreme
court. He also said it was pro-
posed by the roads to capitalize
the 146,000,000 acres of land
granted to the railroads by the
government and the state of Texas
and to make the public forever
pay an annual tax to the rail-
roads on it's present value, "A value
which has cost them nothing. .
The commission also was told
that the roads in computing their
needs had made full allowance
for all increased expenses, but had
made no allowance whatsoever for
increased business.
