SIGN OF
The Big Hat

As the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner's Millinery and Fur
.nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur.
nishins Goods, making it truly
Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class of goods west
of Chicago.
TO the Ladies { as usuaD, we
solicit a share of your patronage.
70 the Gents ts-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store i'll the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing
stock is second to none; expcn-
ses small; consequently our
prices we guarantee.
Remember the place, The
Sign of the Big Hat.

Mr.. Greoley's Social axd Family Re-
latious.

New York Correspondents Of Rochester Demo-
Society sought Mr.. Greeley after
he had become independent of it,
Just as Chesterfield offered to pat
ronize Johnson, after the latter had
become famous. He did not turn
away in anger, but he simply chad
no time" Those who knew Greeley
best and who carry the most beau
tiful idea of the man are now only
few in number. They are the asso-
ciates Of his early days in this city.
For ten years Greeley struggled
here for mere bread. Those who
knew him then have the sweetest
memory of him. Instead of the
stoutbuilt old man (prematurely
old) they remember the tail, slender
youth with the pink glow in his
pale check and the merry twinkle
that sometimes lit up his thoughtful
eyes. His countenance then had a
feminine purity which have never
seen eaualed. 1t also had a ben
evidence which no hardship could
eliminate. Since his death have
been recalling those days when the
poor Bohemian little dreamed of
coming fame, when he was one OF
the struggling mass and simply
sought to live. In 1899, after six
years struggling in this city, he
came out bankrupt. Three years
previously he had married, hoping
to get a living out ofthc Neac York
er, but fate was against him. The
history of those three years, in
which the young editor and his
school-mistress bride battled for
life, would DO a thrilling ono. No
wonder he says that ''beans and
potatoes and bread, with no condi-
mcnt bu, salt, were their diet, and
that few visitors cared to stay over
one day."
At this time (lsse) when 1 was a
povcrty-stricken clerk in book
store on Broadway, pale STRIPPING
with pink spot in his check came
in and bought few cents worth
Of stationery. 1t was poor Greeley,
who still kept heart though he had
failed at every attempt to rise above
the printing case. He was then con-
Quoting the Ne,o Yorker and writ
ing editorials for few journals,
and the pittance thus earned was
barely enough to keep him and his
wife alive. The chances were that
he might be obliged to so back to
his trade, at which he could make
eight dollars per week, and this
was rs much as he could make with
his pen.
How strange it seems to recall
the almost forgotten characters that
then haunted Ann street. They
were poor and yet ambitious, and
had q literary turn which comman-
ded respect. They struggled through
their cares, lived lives of hardship,
aud have passed away into oblivion.
One Of them reached fame, and he
never forgot those old companions,
such rs Jonas Winchester, Bill At
tree, Park Benjamin, Alexander
Ming and Sam Medary. For a few
months p. T. Barnum was one Of
this clique, but he found its pros
poets so poor that he turned show
man. Greeley was the favorite Of
all this class, but he was too busy to
hold much intercourse with any one
it was work, work, work for
bread. No wonder in after life he
had no time for friendship.

In Monaco play is the sole busi-
ness Of the place. A picturesque
but arid rock affords but few re-
sources for outdoor amusements.
With the exception OF orc or two
exclusive cotcries there is scarcely
any society; each person charitably,
and generally with perfect truth,
setting down his neighbor rs a
blackleg, and avoiding hlm accord
ingly. There is no shooting wortl,
speaking of, for even q Frcnchman
soon gets tired Of hitting nothing
but larks. The scenery is certainly
lovely, but constant walking and
driving, even along the beautiful
Cornice road, is a pleasure apt to be
followed by safety when totally un.
relieved by other recreations. At
ter a stay Of u few days, the doom
of the unwary tourist is almost in.
evitable. From morning till night
play is the sole topic OF conversa-
ton. At the table Hhote nothing
else is spoken Of; at the cafe agents
of the Fermc des Jcux relate in his
hearing tales Of large fortunes won
at the tables; as he smokes his ev-
ening cigar on the terrace the clink
of gold is audible through the open
windows of the Casino. II is hard
to withstand SO many combined in
tiucnccs, and, unless he be gifted
with more than ordinary strength
OF mind, sheer ennui and craving
for excitement will sooner or later
drive him into the gambling rooms.
The roulette table, with its quiet
and impassivc croupiers and its
ring Of eager and excited dupcs,
has been hundred times described
by abler pens than mine, and l have
no desire to dwell at length on that
wcll.worn and unpleasant topic. l
only regret that Gustave Dorc sho'd
have chosen the comparatively re-.
spectacle salon Of Baden for the
subject Of his well known painting.
His pencil would have found in the
hell of Monte Carlo far more telling
scenes.
One detail l cannot refrain from
mentioning. 1t is announced in the
rules Of the Casino that persons un-
der age arc not allowed to play; yet
I have seen mere boys, in company
to which I need hardly allude more
pointedIy in order to be understood,
fiinging down their gold with all
the rccklessness OF confirmed gam
blcrs. Another and still more re-
puisiye spectacle may frequently be
witnessed here. TO many of your
readers my assertion may appear
almost incredible, aud it will be
secuted undoubtedly rs a gross ex-
aggeration by many British pater-
.tamilias; but l positively state that
l have seen yonng girls-sometimes
English, but more often American

mand for the establishment OF man.
ufactories in this State, and were
millions of dollars invested proper
ly rs to the location and kind OF cn-
tcrprise, within the next year or
two large dividends would be real
lied out of the investment. Altho'
facts and figures demonstrate that
capital employ cd in manufacturing
will pay better in this State than in
any Of the Eastern States, the vast
amount of capital needed is not
here, and may not be expected to
come unless some special induce
ments arc offered. The State has a
general interest in the development
Of her vast resources, and should
take all iudicious measures possible
to encourage home industries and
insure for Iowa foremost position
among the States Of the Union.
While there are many things
which the State ought to- do in or
der to make it easy for her manu-
featuring resources to be fully de-
veloped, one step more than all
others is the most reasonable. We
refer to the exemption from taxa
ton for a term Of years, Of build
ing and machinery used for manu-
featuring. Such action on the part
Of the State would give new life
and impulse to our industries never
before witnessed, and which never
will he realized without such action.
Every judicious business considera-
ton demands it-cvery interest will
be benefited thereby. 1t would con-
fer incalculablc benefits upon onr
agricultural and land interests by
building up home markets and thus
greatly enhancing the value of all
home products. BY thus encourag-
ing and ensuring the speedy estab-
lishnent of manufactures 1T cen
t1al points all over the State, muni-
cipal wealth will be vastly increased
and rapid growth in population will
follow. Nothing can be lost by such
an exemption, but the effects pro-
duced will be all OH the side Of
gain. The whole tendency Of such
exemption would be to induce capi-
talists to come hither who are adj
verse to the necessary taxation OF a
rapidly growing people. Did it fail
to bring capital no effect would be
produced but should it be instru-
mental in securing the investment
of vast sums 70, manufacturing pur-
poses not otherwise obtainable, the
amount Of taxable property is at
once proportioratcly increased, al.
though the buildings and machinery
used are exempt.
Suppose 100000 be paid month
ly in every town for labor, as has
been the case in Clinton, this would
aggregate, in ten months, $l,OO0,'
900, all of which would go into
homes and enterprises Of the place,
An investment OF $4,000 made ex
empt, would neccssitate an expend.
iture of twice that amount annually
for labor and material not exempt
If there are any well grounded OBJ
iections to such exemption We have
yet to learn what they are. The
best informed business men of the
State with whom we have met agree
without exception as to the import
ancc and wisdom Of such action,
and unless some valid reasons arc
adduced why such encouragement
should not be given to manutactur'
ing, early action should be de-
mandcd,-Zo,cu Progress.

KATY'S GUESS.
by HELEN ]. ANGEL.

With twelve white eggs in duwny nest
The old hen sits in o box In the shed;
And the children, yesterday, stood and guessed
OF the hopes that hid in her spcckled breast,
OF the dreams that danced through her RET
crowned head.
.tShe thinks" said the labor-hating Ned.
s'Of land where the weasels are all asleep,
Where the hawks are blind and the dogs are dead
Where are heaps of corn as high as the shed,
And plenty of earthworms for her to eat"
s.She remembers the country fair" says Bess,
"And the prizes she took al Hampton town."
mo, no, she DON'T" cries "James the less,"
''She dreams of her little ducks, guess;
She is wondering yet why they didn't drown,
And what say you, little curly pate
Tsee thought In your merry eye.
"She fink Gays the bright-haircd baby Kate,
As she lifts the latch Of the garden gate,
''Vere'll be tickcns to skdtch for by and by"
Three cheers for the wisdom of three years-old;
Who told you the secret, little pet
That love is better than ease or gold.
That labor fer love pays thOusand-fold:
100 fnked oorself!" Well, don't forget.

The Nissr's VIII.

Old Skinflea was dying. He had
lived a long, hard, laborious life,
denying himself all pleasures but
the one pleasure Of accumulating,
and all comforts but the one COM
fort of boarding. He had never
given to humanity warm, generous
thought, and he had never gained >
warm or generous impulse for his
own heart. He had never brought
smile of gladness upon the face Of
another, and he had never won
smile for himself. He had never
sought to help his fellows, and mono
had care for him. Alone he had
lived, worshipping his gathering
gold, and his only prayers had been
for more gain and for more usance.
And now the old man was DYING
and his lawyer had prepared his
will and brought it to his bedside
for his signature. The dying man
took the pen in his quaking grasp,
and groancd aloud. d.. -
"My socl!" he muttered, "and
this is the end of it all! This is all
that is to come Of my life Of toll and
hardship. For more than half .
century I have worked ard drudged
like slave. have seen my wealth
grow and increase, and have work
ed harder and more persistently. I
have denied myself all pleasure and
all comfort that the golden pile
might swell and multiply, and now,
in one brief moment-by one scrawl
Of my ren-it slips from me foreveri
AL my boarded weaIfE-my gold,
and my stocks, and my houses, and
my broad acres-I must leave il al,
ali behind. Oh, this is what makes
it SO hard and so bitter to die!''
