Father Loughran Grieved to lose him and

Father Loughrans romoval from tins minion

Not only did Bishop Bonacum remove him
without cause but attempted to 1111 his place
with a man whose moral reputation was rotten
This the member of the mission stopped bv
sending a delegation to Lincoln to inform tho
bishop that the church would be locked against
any such man When told of tho mans moral
reputation tho bishop admitted it all and told
mora

word implies by one who has been seen reeling

bishop said ho did not know tho jteople or

Are you going to send away this
year and pay more for seeds than
the Bee Hive is selling them for
A Plea For India
The following plea comes to us from Mrs
Emily C Wheeler secretary of the National
Armenian Helief committee who at tho request
of tho former Committee of One Hundred for
India Famine Helief has consented to help in
caring for India orphans as well as for those in
Turkey
Some years ago tho good people of America
rescued from death quite a largo number of
little orphans in far away India but in the
hurry of our western life many of these littlo
ones whom wo then rescued from death have
been almost forgotten and are in danger of bo
ing forced into something worso than death
and especially is this true of the girls
Ilenco we feci justified in appealing once more
to the people of America to help theselittle
ones The grown up population of India
mnnv of whom needed help in famine timoare
now able to care for themselves but tint little
ones still need our help First of all they need
something to eat second they need a cherry
home anil third we wish to wakei them to a
love or work which will make them a blessing
to their native land where manual labor is o
often looked upon with supremo contempt
All it costs for each child is six cents a dav or
2000 a car and remembering that a good
many citizens of McCook were interested in this
orphan cause some jears ago we feel sure that
some of you will bo glad to help once more Wo
do not ask a large gilt but wo do ak for one
which will express real love for the cause for
those are tho ones which bring the greatest
blessing to givor and receiver
Yours very truly

Proud as a Peacock
Game Warden W E Corwin is as
proud as a peacock over his prowess as
a hunter since his recent killing of a

had been a source of much annoyance
and expense to his locality and strenu
ous efforts had been made to get rid of
them without success The coyote had
been caught in a trap but had eaten off
the imprisoned foot hence was known
as the three legged terror but swift
horses were unable to run him down
Great was the colonels joy when he
brought him down with a well aimed
shot But the killing of the wolf filled
the colonels cup to overflowing and he
has the thanks of his entire neighbor
hood Governor Savage has at least one
warden who is doing his duty anyhow

Did you hear any one say the Bee
Hive had quit handling seeds
The Chicago River
The Chicago river is one of the most
important water ways of tlio American
continent In point of size it is not
remarkable It is scarcely disceriiable
on the map yet the volume of business
done along its short course exceeds that
done at all but two ports in the world
It is almost beyond belief to those who
know it only in its present aspect that
its waters once flowed clear and spark
ling between verdant grass grown
flower strewn banks beneath the over
hanging boughs of willows and a sky
that was blue when the miii shone Its
shaded pools were the haunts of fish
and water fowl swam and waded in its
shallows
Now it is contaminated by the nut
pourings of innumerable sewers The
grassy slopes have given way to docks
warehouses factories and foundries that
rise abruptly from the waters edge
The skies that look upon it in fair
weather are smoke streaked I ts former
inhabitants except the gulls have re
moved to places less frequented by men
The river is much pleasanter to see
and smell than it was before the comple
tion of the drainage canal a few months
ago Then its waters were of an inky
blackness and their surface was often
covered with a scum while boxes bar
rels garbage in short everything that
floats tossed in tho swell of passing
boats It was dirty with the washings
of the great city that sprawled upon its
banks So much refuse was cast into it
that the unusual spectacle of a river en
lire was sometimes presented It was
like a stagnant swamp It had no per
ceptible current Now it flows swiftly
and has the deep blue tinge of the lake
The river is unique in that reversing
the usual order it flows toward its
source Before the opening of the canal
it was undecided which way to go A
series of pumps at Uridgeport were em
ployed in an endeavor to keep it flowing
away from the source of Chicagos water
supply but a heavy rain or a rapidly
melting snow would send the rebellious
stream tearinjr toward the lake For
merly the river would freeze solidly over
in severely cold weather and staunch
tugs were used in breaking up the ice
and in keeping a clear way for the fire
boats and other vessels that had occasion
to pass Now the river is open the year
round although in winter tho stream
is rilled with ice bergs brought in from
the lake
The natural forests that once grew
along the shore have been replaced by
forests of masts and spars Boats may
he seen at all times JJuring tue navi
gation season they come and go but as
soon as the northern straits are frost
locked they find the river a haven
They are engaged in the carrying of all
sorts of commodities coal ore lumber
grain fruit and Christmas trees forming
the bulk of their cargoes So potent is
their influence that railroad freight
rates are regulated by their runuiug
The passenger and pleasure boats some
of which make regular voyages the year
round are docked along the lower
stream few of them coming above the
bridges The freight boats however go
evervwhere their draft will let them
The river is bordered by docks above
which rise plain window pierced iron
shuttered brick walls
The three tunnels that connect the
south side with the west and north sides
Of the city are used almost exclusively
by the street railway companies whose
cars by their means are enabled to
avoid the annoyances and delays incident
to surface travel They are the bane of
the navigators life The larger boats
are often stranded upon them and it is
sometimes necessary to stop the flow of
water into the drainage canal before
they can be released
The bridges that span the stream are
of different styles There is the old-fashioned
draw bridge with a central pier
that turns when a vessel is to pass
through There is the bascule bridge
which has been likened to a jack knife
and there is the lift bridge which may
be raised high enough to permit tallest
masts of the largest vessels to go be
neath it
Steam driven boats used to ply the
river under their own power but the
current has become too swift to allow of
their doing so with safety and they
must now be escorted by tugs The
river crafts are of all descriptions
Freighters and passenger boats side
wheelers and propellers and sail boats
variously rigged tie side by side Down
toward the rivers mouth the bum
boats do a thriving trade in intoxi
cants Occasionally house boats are
seen Sometimes revenue cutters rep
resenting the United States navy pay
their respects to Chicago When dredg
ing operations are in progress tows of
mud scows loaded to the water line
slink along beneath tho bridges For
the fire boats everything must yield
precedence
The river on a summers day is a
place of activity Boats from all the
lake ports and even from the other side
of the ocean are loaded and unloaded
at the wharves The deep toned whistles
signal the bridge tender for an open way
sound during every hour of the twenty
four Impudent tugs spouting quanti
ties of black smoke go wheezing up and
down sometimes alone sometimes con
voying boats many times their size At
the deep mouthed warnings there is a
scurrying to get across before the bridge
turns Pedestrains hasten their steps
teamsters whip up their horses the
motormen on the electric cars go ahead
at full speed A bell clangs a command
the policeman on guard stretches a chain
across the wagon track All traflic in
the street ceases while lines of cars and
vehicles form to await the closing of the
draw and a crowd gathers to watch the
stately boat glide by
At night when darkness veils the rot
ting wharves and stark brick walls the
river becomes almost majestieal From
it conies no sound Its rippled surface
reflects the shore lights in waving vel
low paths The red and the green of
sienal lamps dash the scene with color j
The rivers mysterious depths are replete
with awful secrets One thinks of
Dickens and London of Hugo and Paris
It calls to mind the Thames and the j
Seinethe only riverain the world with
which it is comparable j
