Trouble Over a Munawa Farm, An exciting time took place Monday on a farm south of Manawa. The farm is claimed by two different individuals, but Tom Skin- ner and Dode Bachelor are in active posses- sion. D. R. Sheets and Isam Wright went to the farm on Monday, accompanied by six other men and boys, and undertook to plant a potato patch, None of the male occupants of the place were at home excepting E.

The two women and Prouty sallied boldly forth, armed with a shot gun and a club, and informed the trespassers that they would be a good deal safer a mile and a half further off than they were at that moment. - Sheets and Wright and their party did not seem to care whether they were in safety or not, and a hand to hand conflict ensued, in which A.

Stone has been fn- vestigating Jenkins' anti-strike injuno- tions, has preparcd a bill designed to reform the practice by which federal courts are prac- tieally engaging in ad business through the appointment of rcceivers. Most of the subsidy roads of the west are in the of reccivers appointed by the under The scourts thus secure absolute authority over raflroads and, as the receiver- ships run from year to year, the courts suc- ceed the railroad offictals in conducting the business of the road. Mr. Terry's bill will attempt to put a limit to the raflroad recoiverships in order to avoid the charge that the courts are going into the railroad business. Tt is complained that not only Is the time of the federal courts consumed and their functions diverted by this practice, but many incidental abuses have sprung up. One of these Is the practice Judge tr the r hands courts. of cutting off all current debts for supplies, repairs, labor, etc., fn oredr that the re- celvers may pay all the fnc of the road to the first mortgage bondholders, The lat- ter usually apply for the appointment of re- ceivers and when the latter are appointed they cut off all debts save those to the bond- helders, Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit hench has recognized this abuse, and in appointing a receiver for a rallroad attached the condition that the re- celver should pay debts due from the rail- road for work, labor, materials, machinery, fixtures and supplies of every kind, ingluding damages to persons or properly which ac crued after the executicn of the mortgage under which the receiver was appointed.

LONDON, May ‘8.~The collapse of the bi- metallic movement in the House of Com- mons on Friday, when Mr. Samuel Smith's motion that the government endeavor to secure a stable par of exchange for gold and silver by international agreement was counted out without discussion, following so closely upon the bimetallic conference, has caused much comment. The secretary of the bimetallic league explains the apathy of the House of Commons toward the bimetallic movement by saying’ it was due to the fact that Mr. Smith’s motion had only second place at the evening sitting and the rules of the house prevented a division, as it was con- sidered that the attendance was so small as to serve no practical. purpose, especially as a full day’s discussion would be secured later when a division could occur. avestigating Tudian Agencies. WASHINGTON, May 8—Indian Inspector Thomas P. Smith of the Interior department has returned from his tour of official in- spection of Indian reservations. Since last January inspections have been made of all the agencies in Oklahoma and Indian Terri- tory, and, acting under the instructions of the 'sccrefary of the interior, the inspector secured a new trial for Silan Lewis, the Choctaw sentenced to execution at Muskogee, OKl., for murder growing out of the political troubles in the Choctaw Nation. Inspector Smith will probably be detailed In a few weeks to make inspections of the Indian agencies in New Mexico and Arizona, and to investigate charges filed against Indian sery- ice employes.

Senator Proctor made the principal of several speeches in opposition, and Senator Martin the only speech made in support of the con- firmation. The opposition made to confirma- tion in executive session today was based entirely upon non-residence, and the argu- ment was for home rule in the district. Swiss Watch Trade Depressed. WASHINGTON, May S8.—George Gifford, United States consul at Basle, Switzerland, reports to the State department that the Swiss watch industry is suffering from se- vere depression. That country has always been the principal competitor of the United States in the production of watches, and is still £0 in spite of the manifest perfection and the wonderful completeness of our fac- tories. The present depression is attributed to the general stagnation in trade rather than to any hostility toward the Swiss watches. Somo More Nominations.

There always been on hand a valusblo ollcetion, but within the last two years Leo XIIL has provided for the national eniar it of the library, for the more favorable location of the books the requirement of all useful modern ture—in-a word, for the ter com- fort of that literary cosmopolis which is one of the strongest products and most charming sides of the Eternal City.” eral influence of religion on edu tion was dilated on at some length. In words glowing with the fervor of deep con- viction the speaker pirtrayed the benefits that have come to the race through the re- ligion of the meek and lowly Nazarene. He pictured the church as the medium through which the Almighty spoke His will and made kinown His goodni To the mind of man, In its infinitude of ramifications, a trib- ute of eloquence was poured out, and the en- franchisement of this mind through the me- dium of education, the handmaiden of relig- fon, was appropriately brought forward. Hastily but clearly bringing out the salient points, the speaker went over the history of the world from the time the apostles, blessed by Pentecostal fire, went forth to preach Christ and Him crucified unto all the world, showing how education developd and eivil- ization brightened as religion became more general. Along this line the influence of Rome on lctiers was shown to be most be- nign. Coming down to the establishment of the university at Washington, he said: “The Catholic university has a long list of beneficent acts for which it will ever be grateful to Pope Leo. He is truly its founder. His letter of April 10, 1857, to Cardinal Gibbons urged the undertaking of this great work and bade the American bishops not to lose heart in the presence of difficulties. It encouraged them to spare no efforts in_establishing a great school of sacred and profane sciences, it order that the American church might have a refined and learned clergy, and the American stat obtain an increase of devoted and patriotic citizns., lis letter to the American Episcopate. ‘Magni Nobis Gaudii,’ of March 7, 1889, called the university into existence, and entrusted to it the mission and the powers which his predecessors gave to Bologna, Paris, Oxford, Cologne and other great cen- ters of learning since the twelfth century. In it he declared that the work was blessed by him: that it was undertaken for the glory and prosperity of the Catholic church in America, and he exhorted the faithful to exhibit a generous support to an institu- tion destined to reflect honor on the United States and to be a stronghold of genuine Catholic faith and piety. “Since then Leo PIIL. has been an affectionate patron of the infant university. He sent his beloved and intimate friend to represent him at the opening in Novem- ber, 1889. He bestowed upon the university a valuable life 4 portrait of himself. He inquires with paternal solicitude con- cerning its progress, and on suitable occa- sions expresses his satisfaction with its rapid growth and its management. “Universities, like states and institutions count their lives by centuries, yet though scarcely five years in existence, the Catholic university my claim to have thriven in the shadow of Leo's will. Its administrators and friends, professors, feel grateful to the great pontiff for his unshakeable con- fidence, and its students, already scattered all over the union, join with them in wish- ing him many years of life and health, in which to consolidate and propagate his prudent policy of peace, unity and sincere, eflicacious ' reconciliation. with the church of all the best and purest sympathies of them odern world. We are emerging upon the twentieth century, that is upon one if those great periods of transition and change, which mark the slow but steady progress of humanity up the painful slope of existence, It is also the end of one of those great cosmic cycles of a thousand years, and the opening of a new era, whose character is yet unclear and indefinite to us, whose ener- gies and alms we may hope to control, but must be content to leave them in the hands of that shaping Providence which doeth all things well. However, in human things there have been but two sudden and ab- solute changes, the fall of Adam, and the establishment of the Catholic religion. Outside of these great events in the history of our race every century transmits to its suce experience and character, of ideals and s pathies, which go far towards forming the mental physiognomy of the new heir.
