up of a place, lnt when we notice
the bending of every effort of other
towns TO build mp to places of impor-
tanee, the idea occurs to US that we
should make some effort TO place
ourselves so far in advance that there
can never be a halt called in the
progress of Lamar. This c su be done

Lamar TO Have Water Work.. The
Boom Boometh.
A PLAN TO supply Lamar with wa
ter has been perfected through sys-
TEN of water works that will come
to us not only at nominal figure,
but that will be easily maintained.
Mr.. Koen who is putting through
the big irrigating ditch that will run
just south of town proposes to build
a large reservoir on top of the hill,
Just one mile south 10 be supplied
from his ditch, and from there run
pipes into town. Fire plugs will be
put in at points best adapted for the
protection of the city, and the natur-
al fall from the elevation of the res
ervoir will furnish sufficient power
to throw Il large stream Of water
over the largest house in town. The
advantage of securing these works is
almost incalculable. 1t will afford
us means to successfully fight fire,
it will cut down our insurance rate,
1t will afford us means of sprink-
ling our streets and a means of OBJ
tanning an abundance of water for
any purpose desired. Our citizens
should take hold of this matter and
lend Mr.. Koen every assistance TO
secure the early completion of these
works. This enterprise is one We
can not afford to allow any ordinary
thing to interfere with the present
plan of carrying it oYt.

HOME MARKET.
Some Points for the EnterprIsinG

Farmer.
A fact that is often overlooked by too
many is that by little pains home mar
ket can be made the best. There are
plenty of country merchants who are pur-
chasing and shipping to cities farm pro-
duce, that if the farmer would take the
necessary pains to take in a good market
able condition and try selling direct TO con
sumers, much better price could be read
lily secured, and that, too, with very little
trouble.
Butter. that the careful housewife has
talen much pains to make. is thrown into
a box Unfortunately with all that comes
in, the same price is paid TO every Gus
toner. good or bad; while in every town
there are plenty of people who would gladly
pay fair price for what they know to
be a clean, fresh article. Eggs are sold
in the same way, and the purchaser buys
with the expectation of getting more or less
that are worthless III they could buy and
know that W hat they purchase are all fresh
better price would willingly Zoe paid. And
so with poultry and quite a number of vari-
cites of vegetables. such as potatoes. cab
bage. caulhOwer, celery, etc. OF course it
is some trouble to secure customers that are
reliable but once secured and treated fairly
they can be depended upon.
| know it is the general custom, when
the farmer has anything to sell TO 20
straight to the country merchant and see ii
he will buy, and what he will pay.
1t is not reasonable TO suppose that any
merchant will handle even farm products
for nothing. at least only when he cannot
avoid it. and in purchasing he generally
offers or pays price that he feels reason
ably sure will enable him TO sell it at
profit. If this profit even was divided be-
tween the seller and consumer, both wOulL
gain enough in a years purchases to make
an item worth saving.
OF course this cannot be done in all
eases, but in very many cases consider
able benefit could be derived il properly
managed. There are farmers who fully
appreciate the benefit of such an arrange
ment and regularly supply customers with
butter. eggs. poultry, potatoes, cabbage, or
whatever farm products they make
speciality of. In many localities the same
benefits could be secured if some enterpris-
ing farmer would take the pains to work it
up properly. Writer in Indiana Farmer.

A Desperate Thief.

KANSAS City, No., Feb. "a daring
attempt at robbery was made this evening
on the store of S. S. Bauer, jeweler and dia-

diamonds. While looking at them he sud-
denly seized the tray in one hand, drawing

upon the latter felled him to the floor and
dealt him three murderOus blows with the
revolver. Another clerk named Oehler
then fired a revolver, but without effect.
at the stranger who returned the fire.
wounding Oehler slightly in the neck He
then ran out of the store and turning fired
again. SCATTERING the window glass.

attack upon him, gave chase. A carpenter
named Surrells standing near. attempted to

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 3.-The ''Loyap
Grand Lodge of United Workmen assembled
this morning with fifty lodges represented,
and w. r. Graham, grand master, presd-
ing. His address shows ga lodges in the
Jurisdiction, with $3.50 members in good
standing. The receipts in all finds since
May 16, 1885. are S71. 443.6 GA, and disburse-
ments, sos, 691.66. The litigation with the
body sitting at Cedar Rapids is thus re-
ferred to:
The seeding body may be an insurance
company, in fact,I concur with the honorable
court. 1t cannot be fraternity, as it lacks
the essential honor. That the organization
this body represents is u fraternity know
AS / understand that case the question
of fraternity was not at issue, it having been
set up by us and not denied by them in the
pleadings. The only question before the
court was: Who are the officers of the grand
lodge. and who is entitled to the rights, priv
ileges and franchises? Simply that and moth
ing more. rehearing having been denied
by the supreme court, TIE case has
been redocketed in the circuit court of Black
Hawk county, his honor Judge Utt presiding,
and will probably be reached for retrial next
jury term in September, at which time we
will undertake to produce testimony going 10
prove that fraternity is the foundation and
life of the order, and that insurance is but
an accident thereto.
A banquet will be given by the local
lodges tonight.
