PfcN'. •••.\k'- M' DID YOU EVER •y. i:s hear of a centre draft lamp that would not smoke—that you could not make smoke if you tried? I have them for sale and they are the latest lamp out. A self-triipming attachment forms a part of the burners and the light is white and brilliant. Better than all, the price is very reasonable. I shall be glad to have the public call and see these lamps and at the same time have a quiet and entirely confidential talk with me about my method'of advertis ing. Callers will be seep'separately or in groups as they may desire. Oppor tunities will be offered to those whose feelings need relieving and poultices will be furnished but not put on. This is the first Courier ad I have written since I .came home from "soldiering." One of my friends has been helping me out. I have a few "roasts" to offer in a future ad, which I will try and write up as soon as I get rested from the row I got into over my ad in the Whist Show program. MONETARY STANDARD. [Continued from page 1,] such return shall be liable to a penal ty of $200, to be collected either out of the interest as it may become due such association on the bonds depos ited with the treasurer, or, at His op tion, in the manner in which penalties are to be collected of other corpora tions under the laws of" the United States. Whenever any association fails to make the return herein requlred, the taxes to 'be paid by such association shall bp assessed unon such amount as the treasurer may determine to be the .true amount of capital, surplus and undivided profits of such association. Whenever an association fails to pay the taxes imposed by the section the sums due may be collected in the manner provided for the collection of United States taxes from other Corpo rations or the treasurer may reserve the amount out of the toteest, as it 1 may become due on "the Bonds depos ited with him by such defaulting asso ciation. Small Bank*. Sec. 10. That section 513S of the Re vised Statutes is hereby amended so as.to read as follows: "Sec. 5138. No association shall be organized with a less capital than $100,000, except that banks with a cap ital of not less than $50,000 may, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, be organized in any place, the population of which does not ex ceed 6,000 inhabitants, and except that banks with a capital of not less than $25,000 may, with the sanction of the secretary of the treasury, be organized in any place the population of which floes not exceed 2,000 inhabitants. No association shall -be organized in a city the-population of which exceeds 50,000' /persons with a capital of less than $200,000." -A reptfrt btt thVWH his been pre- -V i. jjared"by ©vferstreet,»of Indianapolis, who introduced tiie orig inal bill of the monetary commission in 1898, and distributed to each repub lican, member of-'the house. Oyerstreet frankly admits that the committee did "not consider the general subject of banking, nor did it seek to arrange a complete scheme of finance, but con fined its recommendations to those subjects of most pressing demand, as evidenced by the pledges of the repub lican party and the general policy of the administration." tt was felt, the report declares that "the strengthening of .the public credit by the removal of all doubt concern ing the policy and practice of the gov ernment relative to the unit of value, is of paramount importance. It is pointed out that there can be but one standard at one time, but that the convenience of commerce is pro moted by the use of different media of exchange convertible into the stand ard. The report continues: "When centainty shall take the place of doubt and the integrity of our cred it be as fixed as the honor of the nation, the national debt can be readily re funded at lpwer interest rates, and fu ture loans negotiated with ease upon better terms than ever before. The rapid development of American trade and itB vast expansion, bringing our people into close relations with the leading nations of the world, makes it imperative that the standard of value in which settlements are made, shall be the best known to the highest civ ilization and shall safely appeal to in telligence and successful experience. It is the standard recognized by all the leading nations and the statute pro posed merely reaffirms the policy fol lowed. by .the. United States for over sixty years, so reinforced and plainly expressed that the question will be placed forever beyond "dispute." The fact is pointed out that the treasury at the beginning of October had a net gold reserve of more than $250,000,000, that there is more gold in the United States than ever before. The present conditions are most fa vorable, says the report, and the time is most opportune for a clear and une quivocal adoption of the gold standard. Reference is made to countries hav ing legally adopted the gold standard as well as those in which the coinage of silver on private account has been suspended. Continuing, the T.ien0rt declares: "If under all these conditions the United States 6hall clearly, by law, adopt the gold standard, it will pass to a new condition with even less traction than was experienced by the resump tion of specie payment. The govern ment is fortunate in being able to act in so important a matter under such favorable circumstances, the general policy of the government and Bucli declarations as have been made by con gress are entirely consistent witp this proposition." The declaration in the republican platform and the subsequent effort of President McKinley relative to an in ternational agreement, it is declared, were made in good faith, but the atti tude of the leading nations and the constant fluctuations in the value of silver bullion, render such an agree ment practically impossible. The scope of the purpose of the pro visions for maintaining the standard the sale of bonds and exchawja W money are thus set. forth, by. Brad street: "In the absence of a law providing protection to the gold reserve, it is always subject to encroachment in ex penditures ,to meet' the general ex penses of the government. Whenever such encroachment seems probable a fear has arisen that the government may not be able to meet its demand obligations, arid a run upon the reserve for the redemption of the demand notes 'lias followed. This situation is responsible fdr the so-called "endless chain." By separating the reserve fund from the general fund, and pro hibiting its use except for redemption W-Uhited States notes and treasury notes, the dangers to which it has been •so- great!}' subjected will be removed. These demand notes are being re deemed in gold now, and always have been, arid no additional burden is im posed upon the government. It is sought^to simplify and legalize.the practice, and create a division in the treasury where the whole business of issuing and redeeming notes may be transacted and io establish complete confidence in the redemption of our demand obligations." "The provision in section four, that no note or certificate, once redeemed or exchanged, shall be withdrawn, exefept in exchange for an equivalent amount of the coin in which said note or certificate was redeemed or ex changed, will forever put an end to the so-enlled 'endless chain," which has so embarrassed the government iu the ever-recurring redemption of the greenback. There can be no contrac tion of the currency under this sys tem,'for the reason that either the note is in circulation, or, if redeemed, its equivalent is in' circulation." RE-ORGANIZATION EFFECTED. A re-organization of the Young Hen's Catholic Union of Ottumwa was effected at a meeting held last evening at Sacred Heart hall, corner of Court and Fifth streets. About fifty young men, all'•members of the Catholic church, were .present to Ippd t^eir as sistance to the movement." Father'Kel ley is the prime mover Sn the matter and much credit is'due :him for h(3 efforts to interest the young men of the church. A temporary organization was effected last evening- of which Br. J. F. Herrick was made temporary president. A committee waa appointed to solicit members, but each one pres ent was 'instructed to make himself a committee of one for the same pur-, pose. i-• The object of the society as stated in.the constitution adopted some,time ago when the movement was' first started, is for the moral, intellectual and physical development of members, by encouraging more strict observance of religious duties and supplying pleasant and innocent pleasures for the members as a means of retaining them in a Catholic society, and,,,preventing them, from seeking enjoyment in dan gerous and questionable pleasures. An other object, paramounty or nearly so, ib -ifriportanfe-to -the flistfc^p. struct the members by aiding them to acquire a readiness and skill in public speaking' to help them in the treat ment of important questions and to promote literary culture among them, It is the intention to provide a club room where a gymnasium and game room will be maintained, something af ter the plan of the Y.

EdncaUonal Work. The educational committee, in -pur suance of the action of the last bien nian of the I. P. W. C.j endorsing com pulsory education, has prepared a peti tion to' be presented to the next' gen eral assembly, asking for the enact ment of: a'compulsory education law in Iowa. Over 1,000 signatures have been obtained *to the petition. The petition sets forth that, while the taxe3 for schools ln' Iowa amount to $8,p00, 000 per annum, the best results are not obtained because, many parents and guardians do not send their children to the schools-for a sufficient time. The petitioners .pray that a law be enacted requiring all parents and guardians in the state having children in their dare, between the ages of 7 (excepting where there are kindergartens, then 5) and 14 yedrs to-aend thetn to school, those living in the country districts, not less than sixteen weeks, and in cit ies and towns not less than six consec utive months during each year.

There are many opinions regarding it. Mrs. Ella' Henrotiq 'pays that the state federation should have charge of state .work' and the general federation should be a federation of state federations where state federa tions have been "organized. The general federation should have no correspond ence with the individual clubs, that should be the duty of the state. Mrs. J. :C. Croly (Jennie June), founder or the general federation and honorary vice president, says: "I object to'the word reorganization. The general fed eration does not need reorganization. It may need adjustments to itB devel opment, as any successful movement may as it enlarges its scope and in creases its area of activity. A pivotal point is that relating to the state chairmen of correspondence. When the general federation was organized, no single state federation existed none had been thought of.' A state chairman of correspondence was a- necessity for territorial expansion. When state ^ed erations were organized, the state chairman, who had at first been ap pointed by the board of directors was elected by the state later she was made an independent officer -and su perior to the state president! I am in favor of a modification or amendment of the constitution, which shall ad just this matter between the state chairman of correspondence and the president of the state federation." Mrs, Croly does not think that the direct link between the general federation and the clubs should be secured. She says: "First, last and all of the time, I am against any movement which shuts out individual clubs from direct represen tation." Mrs. Louise Dickinson Sherman, president of the Chicago Women's club, thinks that unwieldiness, dupli cation of the work, etc., makes neces sary the reorganization of the general federation. The discussion of this question will be an interesting one, as the prominent women of the federation have widely varying views regarding it, A Club Exhibit. At the Paris exposition a sprite has been secured for a club exhibit. This will include the printed lists of state federations and the number enrolled in each, with the gross number of women federated in the general society, Other interesting exhihits are to be ar ranged for. Plans, too, are nearly per fected to offer to the club women of, this country the opportunity of a tour under the auspices of the federation. A steamer will be chartered for the use of club women only and a several weeks' jaunt is contemplated.
