new BADEN PIC SIC.
A Blk Crowd ala q Pleasant Day

So far as numbers were concerned
the Temperance Pic Mic at New Baden
Springs last Saturday was \ fine sue.
cess.
Reaching the grounds at an early
hour we found the people pouring in
from every direction and from long
distances, in wagons, IN carriages, in
buggies. on horseback, and on foot
1.-The woods were full of them"
and everybody seemed to be
in a happy humor and ready
to be amused or instructed as the case
might be.
A, eleven o'clock the audience had
gathered about the stand in response to
the music of the Kirksville cornet band
and were called to order by Rev. ]. ]
Kennedy, OF this place.
Prayer was offered by Prof. Mason,
after which Rev. ]. S. Wheat delivered
very interesting speech of about an
hours length, in which he took up the
political record, and criticised the posi-
ton of Senator Vest. He traced the
history Of the temperance movement
from its incipiency in 1920 down to the
present time. The speech was entirely
out of the line OF. the usual temperance
address, and was closely listened to by
the large audience present. At the
close OF this address recess of an hour
and half was gwen for dinner. Hun
dreds had brought their baskets, but
the hotel and restaurants were crowded
and did thriving business. The write,
found Judgement with the popular
,eskau,anter Of New Baden Springs. Mr.
E. L. Loso, and if an, body found a bet.
ter cooked or more palatable dinner
than he gave his crowd of guests. we
failed to find them.
The afternoon proceedings at the
stand consisted Of short speeches, mu'
sic and songs. Prof. Mason delivered a
short but ringing and pointed address
committing himself thoroughly and II.
revocably to the prohibitory move
ment. The audience called for more
and would have willingly listened to the
professor for an hour longer had he
chosen to occupy the time.
He was followed in another short
but radical Temperance address by Mr.
M. c. Tracy of Macon, State Lecturer
of the l. O. G. T. of Missouri.
The chairman then by few happy
remarks closed the speech making, and
the balance of the afternoon was gwen
up to aluusements and social recreation.
The young folks had many sources
of amusement presented them in the
way Of swings. dancing floor. croquet,
promensding etc.
Good judges estimated the crowd
present at from 1900 to 1900. Kirksville
was well represented, while large mum.
bers came from Sullivan county.

THINGS EEDED.

New Baden has many things in its
favor as place of public resort, but
there needs much 10 be done yet to
place it in proper condition
First and foremost the grounds should
be thoroughly cleaned up, and the pres
ent unsightly brush piles, lumber, trash
and underbrush removed. Seats for at
least thousand people should lie pro-
vided and arranged. The approaches
should be made easier and safer and
shelter ofsome kind be arranged for use
in case Of storm.
The spring itself will always be a
strong point Of attraction but for such
crowds as was present Saturday it needs
a larger storage capacity in order to
furnish water tor all purposes in ample
quantities.

The attorneys for Ben. Thompson intend to
make application this evening or tomorrow
morning to Judge Wilson, of the court of ap-
peals. in chambers, for writ of habeas cor
pus. 1, is said by lawyers that Judge Wilson
has no jurisdiction in hsepremises, for the
reason that an appeal from the decision Of
Judge Noonan, refusing to grant writ, is now
pendieg before the court. The court will sit
in regular session in October. when the appeal
may be heard. BY that time, however, Thomp-
son may be indicted, and. unless continu
ance be granted, tried by the district court. II
is generally supposed that Judge Wilson will
assume the course adopted by Judge Hurt.

Sidewalks and Cutters,

Our city has made considerable advance in
the construction of sidewalks during the past
year, and in this respect we can claim that San
Antonio is fast getting rid of the old complaint
about its walks, but while sidewalks have been
built there is no such thing as gutter known
in the city unless it be one or two little
stretches made by private enterprise.
Where good sidewalks have been built,
cement or stone curbing put down,
the city should have put down good cutters
SO that the drainage would have progressed
with the walks. AS it is, we witness the con-
tinual digging away of the dirt from the curb,
and filling in with gravel by the city workmen
There is no way to flush gutter,-no CUTIE
to Husband on some of the principal streets
the stencil arising from the improvsed cutters
is sickening,
We have mayor. lordly looking one, in
fact he looks capable enough to run the pre-
mership of England. We have city coun-
Gil, who look wise enough to make laws for a
continent. We have engineers enough to un.
dertake the erection Of Of a continental enter
prise. We spend money enough to run big
city, and yet we can't have street gutter
built.

CHARITY AT HOME.

1t is strange feature OF human nature that
impes people to exert themselves beyond
measure to extend aid to suffering humanity at
distance, while the poor and needy and sick
at their own doors are UNDECIDED or but slight
ly noticed. We take this occasion to call at
ten,ion to the fact that there are hundreds Of
cases of sickness and poverty in our city, and
as the winter weather comes on there will be
distress. Our city has grown greatly in the
past two years, and its per centage Of INDECENT
people has also grown. The city and county
authorities are looked to to care for the indi-
gent, but how much better would it be if they
had the warm, generous hand of our liberal
citizens and kind hearted ladies interested in
their behalf. We are proud of the results Of
the yellow fever contributions, largely due to
the exertions of the ladies'; and we see in this
effort the possibility of an aid society in our
m DIST, capable of doing great good.
Every contribution made for charity in our
midst takes nothing from our wealth, while it
would add immensely to our credit as civiliz-
ed, kind.hearted people.
OF course the fact that we have contributed
$1,000 to the Brownsville sufferers will be
trumpeted over the wide world to our credit,
and a thousand dollars given to clotbe and
feed and aid sick women and hel pless children
in our midst would never be heard of abroad
but the incense Of a good deed would ascend
to heaven all the same
Come, let Us have some practical, steady
charity at home. Let the ladies form a gener-
al aid society, and let them adopt regular
system of collections, SO that they can always
be prepared for emergencies.
PEELER, of Austin, in explaining to the
democrats of Williamson county the recent
Upson split, said:
That of the new district formed, only eleven
out of the twenty-six counties are those he
represented before. That when the new dis
rict was made, there were put into it fifteen
counties. Mr.. Epson was never heard Of
before, the speaker said. Consequently,
when Mr.. Epson came to the convention he
found that that there were not over six thou
sand votes in the district that he represented,
leaving three fourths of the people that he
never represented at all. Then what claim
has he on this people of the tenth district?
Well, it isn't our fight, but we really think
Epson had first claim on the district so far
as the democracy is concerned. In every
other district in which democratic congress
E,al ha al L.
truth is the 10th district was gerrymandered
SO as to put Wash. ones and Epson both out.
The Hancock men have played scabby Tuck
on the democracy Of this section, and there is
no lodging the fact.

The Free Postal Delivery.

This system was inaugurated this morning.
and the five letter carriers went forth to de-
liver the letters. They did not take many but
sufficient to familiarize them with their routes
and their new duties, and this experimenting
will be continued for day or two. Then the
whole of the letters, whether addressed to the
boxes or not, will be delivered twice each day
as soon after the arrival of the mail as prac-
tcable, but parties wishing to have their mail
put into their boxes can have it S,
ordered by instructng the postmaster. The
delivery routes are very extensive one, and W.
hope to publish them tomorrow for the in
formation of our readers.
The letter carriers are alfred in very neat
suit. made by Messrs. Pancoast & Son, o.
cadet grey broadcloath, ornamented with black
facings and gilt regulation buttons. The caps
have not yet arrived.
Two of the carriers are on foot. They will
deliver the mail in the bushes part of tn,
city - Houston, Commerce, and Soledad
streets, and the plazas.
Letter boxes have been erected in variou
parts of the city, which will be cleare'
about s o'clock, p. M. for the morning mail,
and about noon for the o'clock mail.
The introduction of the letter carrier system
affects the postage of drop letters, which will
in future be charged two cents instead OF
one.
The delivery system here is simply an ex
pertinent. An agent will visit the city in abou'
three months and if it works properly anc
duly appreciated it will possibly be incre ,sed
On the other hand it may be stopped if suffi-
cient cause is seen for the adoption of that
course.
