SOLONS TO GET
TASTE OF WIT
Minnesota Congressman Is
Expected to Inject Hu
mor In Dull Sessions
MINNEAPOLIS, July . 15.—(/P)—
Minnesota offers a candidate—in
the person of W. I. Nolan, repre
sentative-elect—for the relief of the
lamented dullness in the Congres
sional Record with a little inten
tional humor.
Nolan, lieutenant governor, a re
publican, was chosen to succeed
Walter Newton, representative from
the fifth district ,who resigned after
his appointment as secretary to
President Hoover.
The proof-sheets wTill show that
Nolan has been a professional lec
turer and humorous entertainer for
25 years. The chatauqua platform
has known him.
Nolan, however, plans to “serve
in congress as a listener.”
“It is my conviction that too
much talk has killed many good
bills,” he observed. “Most of us
are too long-winded.”
Nolan tried out his voice first as
a newsboy. Soon after he became
an amateur actor, while his news
boy colleague, the late Dr. Marlon
Leroy Burton, began a career that
carried him to the presidency of the
Universities of Michigan and Min
nesota. .
In 1894, when William McKinley
made his keynote speech in Minne
apolis, “Bill” Nolan, 20. entertained
the crowd with a dialect speech
chiding the Cleveland administra
tion. The next day he was “copy”
on front pages all over the country
and 9.000 persons who heard him
emphasized the hit he had made by
inviting him to many states to give
his reading.
Despite Nolan’s avowed intentions
to listen to congress, Minnesota
folks are confident that “Bill” will
give a few humorous lines to the
Record.

future work.” Father Garcia y
Garcia answered: “My good wishes
go with you.”
The party entered the church
amid the cheers of the multitude.
The church’s doors were closed to
prevent the inrush of people. Then
the taking of the inventory requir
ed by law began. It lasted one hour
and a half. .
Jose Reynoso, schismatic priest,
told the Herald representative that:
“Everything came out all right, and
I am pleased to see the people ac
claim the representative of their
beloved faith. As you can see I
have had the church painted and
also the pews and otherwise re
conditioned. I have tried to please
the people of Matamoros during
my stay here and I am glad that
they appreciate my efforts. Ques
tioned concerning his future plans.
I Reynoso said:
Plan Church
“We plan to build a church to
dedicate to the Mexican National
religion in the very near future. In
fact, we have a large part of the
funds ready. I am glad that a rep
resentative of an American news
paper is present to correct the er
roneous versions th>t I have been
informed have been circulated as
to the state the church is in.”
Father Garcia y Garcia when in
terviewed declared, “I am happy in
receiving my old parish again, and
everything has come out to my en
tire satisfaction. I will continue to
work among my people.”
The last official act of Reynoso
was the delivering of the records
of the church kept during the time
that he was in charge. These con
sisted of books containing the num
ber of baptisms performed, the
marriages performed and the con
firmations.
Father Garcia y Garcia has re
sided in Brownsville since he left
Matamoros.
The transfer to the city officials
was made in a service at the church
Sunday morning. Rivera said high
mass arjl then delivered a fare
well address which was heard by
several hundred persons.
“I am happy that the people of
Matamoros are going to have a
representative of their beloved
faith, ’ Rivera told the congrega
tion. “I appreciate the way they
have co-operated with me and I
appreciate the way they have re
ceived the services I rendered them,
I have tried to do everything in
my power to serve them during mv
stay here.”
After the service Rivera proceed
ed to turn the church over to the
cnil authorities and a complete in
ventory of the properties was com
pleted Sunday afternoon.

The transfer Monday was made
by a representative cf Guillermo

trembling and spent, looking to him
for counsel.
But, old Judge Potter knew hu
man nature pretty well. After all, a
lot of things could happen in five
weeks—and he wasn’t going to say
anything that would pull the two
poor unfortunate kids any farther
apart.
He got up and put his hands on
her slim, white shoulders, and look
ed into her eyes for a moment. His
own old, brown eyes were filmed
with tears.
“Vivie, just you go on bein’ good
and sweet and wonderful like you
always been—and I believe there’s a
man up there in the skies that’s
goin’ to look after you. You go
home and forket your troubles and
rest that little red head of your’n,
and I’ll think this Kent business out.

a number of county officials—if it
is defeated he will continue to re

compare favorably with the remu
neration of the more important
county officials of the state.
The other amendment would in
crease the supreme court to a nine
jurist body. There are three judges
now and six assistants. The new ar
rangement would merely serve to
make the work of the six assistants
official and give them equal rank
with the present three judges. At
present the judges review the de
cisions of the assistants and there
by much hard work is wasted. There
would be no increase in expense, as
salaries would remain the same as
at present.
Polls open at the usual places at

p. m. Vote for both issues if you
agree with state leaders that they
are good measures—but be sure to

Brakeman Drowned
As Train Leaves
Track In Washout
TEKAMAH, N§br., July 15.—(JP)—
One man was dead today and an
other was suffering from injuries as
the result of a cloudburst which
washed out 1,000 feet of railroad
track near here.
Carl Henkle, Sioux City, la.,
brakeman, was drowned after the
locomotive and tender of a Minne
apolis and Omaha freight train left
the tracks and was wrecked four
miles west of Tekamah yesterday.
Frank Kent, engineer, was cut about
the face by glass, and Will Denton,
Fireman, escaped injury by staying
with the engine.
Tekmah Creek became raging tor
rents* The water was knee deep on
several streets. Five of 12 bridges
in an;i near Tekamah were washed
out.

“Oh, yes he will," Vivian assured
him, brokenly. “He loves Dovie
Jansen—always will love her. He is
grateful to me—and good to me. But
he loves her. He believes she has
been shamefully wronged, and he
wants to make it up to her.”
, “He's all chuck full of chivalry, I
take it,” the old judge chuokled,
wisely. “Well, that never hurtkpo
man that I can see. You wait Jend

different from the way you’re plan

There was no use telling him
again that things couldn’t possibly
turn out any differently. So Vivian
got up to leave. _
