Excursionists Coming.

Mr.. j. r. Berry, of Chicago, whose
visit here we noted last week, is now
organizing two large excursion par
ties through Iowa and Minnesota for
McMinnville. Tickets have been
placed on sale at about thirty differ
ent points in the above States, and
one party will start for this point
March Odd, the other April 9th. Mr..
Berry is interesting himself extern
sively in the development of Warren
county, and is confident of locating a
large number of people here. He is
advertising these excursions through
many northern papers, has issued
10000 circulars, and is now preparing
a descriptive pamphlet Of Warren
county to be circulated through the
North and Northwest. He is work
ing in connection with Mr.. w. A.
Johnson, the real estate agent at this
place, and we hope they may be sue
cessful in locating many,thrifty, wide
awake farmers in our county.

Thirty Years a Detective.

Allan Pinkerton, the famous detec-
tive, was born in Glasgow, Scotland
in the year 1919. He died in Chicago,
July LIST, 1884. 1t is difficult in brief
sketch to estimate his life and public
services. 1t was hard life, busy
life, and great life, and it rendered
services to this country which can
hardly be over-estimated, and which
it has been the fortune of but few men
to equal.
His thousands of successful assaults
against organized and determined
crime, in many countries, are facts
familiar, and they constitute a found
alton for fair andjust estimate his life
and the mans real character.
The mental characteristics of Allan
Pinkerton were judgment as to facts,
knowledge of men, the ability to con-
centrate his faculties on one subject,
and the persistent power of will. A
mysterious problem of crime against
which his life was devoted, presented
to his thought was solved almost
in an instant, and seemingly by his
intuitions. With half-cl0sed eyes he
saw the scene in which the wrong
was done, read every movement of
the criminals, and reached invariably
the correct conclusion as to the con-
duct of the crime, and the guilt of
those who committed it. His mental
view was broad; no one circumstance
directed or controlled it. He saw all
the facts, and on them based his con-
clusions. He was self-possessed and
well-poised. The certainly of his
judgment, though characterized by
quick movement of the intellect, was
the result of vigorous and calm
thought.
He has left us in his writings suffi-
cient chronicle of his detective expert
ence, that this and future generations
may know much of his useful life.
His ruling idea in the publication of
his books was to show to the public
how surely and inevitably detection
and punishment follows the commits
sion of crime, and it is wonderful that
amid all his tolls he found time suffi-
cient to recount so ably his thrilling
stories. They read like fiction, though
facts they all are.
We call attention to the advertise
ment in another colum of his prin-
cipal book. "Thirty Years Detec-
tive" for which G. w. Carleton d
Co., the great New York Publishers,
want agents.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some al
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present., flatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture like perspiration, producing a
very disagraeeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles

Books.

Books furnish. They furnish in
the same manner that drapery and
pictures and bric-a-brac do. After
you have possessed yourself of the
bare necessities, thecarpets and chairs,
and tables, and bedsteads, and when
you begin to think of adornment and
decoration, every penny you eXpend
in books is an investment which will
return large interest. Furnish a house
in the extreme of the upholsterer's
art, without regard to the money
spent, emitting books, and your house
shall resemble a statue waiting for
the soil. The backs of books on the
shelves, books lying on the centre ia
BILE, books tempting hand and eye,
as the caller in the parlor awaits the
advent of the hostess, are all useful
in filling up what we may style the
proprieties of the home. You may
make mistake in buying silver or
glass. Your other furniture may find
itselfin the wake of departing fashion;
your pictures may be inharmonious,
or you may pay too much for them
in proportion to their merit, but the
modest book, costing comparatively
little, well worth, even if it cost
much, the cost of several desserts and
two or three pounds of candy, will
merely, as furniture, reward you by
its vindication of your taste and its
quality of inherent vitality. There
fore, good mater-familias, encourage
the household bOok-buyer.
