BATHING BEACH AT QUAKER MILL

Since the extreme hot weather has
set in hundreds of Manchester folks
have availed themselves of the cool
waters of the Maquoketa above the
dam at the Quaker Mill. The young
sters, and some of the older ones for
that matter, seem to have the time
of their lives diving off the spring
boards and the bridge Many are
learning the art of swimming at this
time. The Quaker Mill site makes an
ideal place for bathing since there is
rock bed to the river, and the water
of such depth as to make 1t safe for
beginners, and under the bridge the
water is deep enough to permit high
diving, etc.
Quite a number of persons in their
desire for wholesome sport apparently
forget that persons living in the viein-
ity of the mill have certain rights
which have been ignored, much to the
annoyance of the persons interested.
1t is reported that number of boys
chased some hogs belonging to Mr..
Goodrich into the river and held the
animals under the water. Boys who
are up to such tricks should not be
allowed to visit the mill site. Others
are mighty thoughtless in the way
they park their cars, all but closing
UP the highway, and some with glar-
ing headlights turned on full power,
with the result that those who are
obliged to drive along the road find 1t
exceedingly difficult to get through
the congestion.
The Quaker Mill site is the best
along the Maquoketa river for real
bathing beach, and steps should be
taken to improve it, and make such
arrangements with the owners OF the
land adjacent to the site so as to not
interfere with the rights of the proper
ty owners.

DEATH CLAIMS YOUNG WOMAN
WITHOUT MOMENTS WARN
ING. FUNERAL TUESDAY
TRAGIC DEATH OF WALTER HOLT
Grief Over Death Of Young Wife Caus.
es Death Of Young Kansas City
Business Man.

Miss Jette Nolan, daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Nolan, passed away
at her home north OF Masonville, Sat
urday evening death being caused from
hesrt trouble. Miss Nolan had been
suffering more or less for many years
with heart trouble, yet was able to
do the work in the home and care for
her aged parents On Saturday eve
ming, after she had completed the
work after evening meal she went to
her room and when she did not return
after few moments, members OF the
family went to her room to find that
she had passed away. Funeral SER
vices were held in the Immaculate
Conception church at Masonville Tues
day forenoon. Rev. Father M. e. No
Ian, of Harpers Ferry, Iowa, brother
OF the deceased, read High Mass, and
Rev. Father Conry, vice president of
Dubuque College, preached the SER
mon Other priests from nearly par
ishes were present and took part In
the services. Interment was made in
the Catholic cemetery near Masonville.
Miss Nolan was born at Masonville,
Iowa, April 22nd, 1861, and was edu-
Gated in the paroch4al and public
schools, and for some time she was a
successful teacher in the schools of
the county. Failing health forced her
to give up her work as school teach
er, and she then remained at her home
to give her aged parents the care they
needed in their declining years.
She is survived by her aged parents,
seven brothers, Jas, Michael, William
and Perry, of near Masonyille, Thorn
as Nolan of Hazelton; and Rev. Father
M. E. Nolan, OF Harpers Ferry, Iowa;
NJ j. Nolan of Mason City, Iowa

for many years associated with Du-
buque college, in the capacity OF an
instructor, passed away about year
ago, his death taking place in Phila-
delphia, after lingering illness.
Miss Nolan's sudden passing comes
with chrushing force to the aged par
ents, who looked to her for care in
their declining years. She cared for
them with singular devotion and gladly
made sacrifices for those near and
dear to her. She was devout mem
ber Of the Roman Catholic church, and
in her life exemplifed the teaching of
her church. Her gentle manner and
kindly nature endeared her o large
circle Of friends.
The aged parents and the brothers
and sisters who mourn because of the
death of this beloved daughter and
sister, have the sympathy of many
friends in their hour of sorrow.

WHERE FLEET VISITED
LIMA AND CALLAO

American Blue Jackets of the At
lantic feet recently visited Lima, cap
ital of Peru, after the passage of the
fighting ships through the Panama
canal. The fleet lay at anchor at
Callao, the port of Lima, only a few
miles away. The history of Callaos
sheltered bay, which constitutes one
of the best harbors on the Pacific coast
of South America may be considered
to have begun shortly after Pizarro
and his bearded comrades entered Peru
in 1882.
From Callao In the years that fol-
lowed sailed a constant stream of gal
Icons loaded with the gold and silver
that the Conquistadores stripped from
the rich continent on which they had
gained a foothold Lima, only eight
miles inland, became the seat Of the
vice-regal government by which all
South america was ruled, and Callao
was practically the only gate through
which the treasure gathered by the
colonial agencies was poured into the
lap of the Spanish king. Close to
Callao often lowered British and
Dutch pirates to swoop down on the
treasure ships.
Callao was the first Pacific port
in South America to have completed
modern harbOr works.

KLAGENFURT: A SELF
DETERMINED AREA

The Klagenfurt area, the only region
in which a plebiscite was provided for
in the treaty between the allies and
Austria, has been retained by Austria
as a result of the vote which was TAX
en- several months ago.
When the crazy-quilt patchwork of
diverse peoples that made up the old
Austro-Hungarian empire was ripped
apart by the treaty of st. German and
rearranged more nearly in accordance
with nationality and language, it was
clear that the old Austrian province
of Carniola, extending from the Klag-
enfurt area south almost to Fiume,
was Slavonic in its population. 1t
was therefore included in the Jugo-
Slav kingdom along with the other OBJ
viously Slavonic provinces in the
southern part of the old empire: Bos-
MIA, Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Croatia
and Slavonia.
Carinthia, the province adjoining
Carniola on the north and containing
the Klagenfurt area, was recognized,
on the other hand, to be predominant
ly Teutonic as a whole. But it was
seen that the southeastern section of
the province, the valley of the Drave
river about Klagenfurt, had heavy
population of SloveneS. 1t was felt by
the allies that the question whether
the Teutons or the Slavs predominated
in the region should be definitely de-
termined and that the area should be
attached, according to the desires Of
the majority of the residents, to the
Teutonic republic of Austria or to the
SIav kingdom to the south.
The region which Austria retains as
a result of the plebiscite is roughly
almond-shaped, approximately fifty
miles In extreme length and twenty-five
miles in extreme breadth, with an
area of something more than 600
square miles-slightly less than one
third that of Delaware. 1t contains
much mountain land but also portion
of the rich Drave valley, one Of the
most productive parts of Carinthia.
One of the most important results
of the vote to the Austrians is that
they will retain the rich lead mines Of
Bleiburg, perhaps the most important
in all the old territory of Austria
Hungary. In the city of Klagenfurt,
with it's population of about 25,0O0,
the Austrian republic retains one of
it's important Woodworking centers
The Klagenfurt region came near
being a bone Of contention among
three nations instead of two. Its
western end almost touches the far
ing top of the italian boot, and dur
ing a great part of the World war its
mountain peaks echoed the thunder
of the great Italian and Austrian guns
on the Isonzo front, a few miles to
the southwest.
