Ceie bration Notes.

Mayor Rack has selected Lieut..
Col. A. Solliday as marshal of the day :.
Several aides will be appointed
The committee of arrangements has
extended an urgent invitation to all
civic and other societies of the city to
participate in the big parade.
Nearly every prominent business
house in the city will have some sort
of a float in the parade. The com :
mittee having in charge this portion of
the celebration promises gigantic at
traction and many interesting and
unique features
The official program and advertising g
bulletin will be quite large document
and will speak well for the generous
support accorded it by our business
men. Watch for it.
A general and liberal decoration of
business houses, residences and public
buildings is asked for on the Fourth
and ii is hoped the city may be in true
holiday attire. The use OF trees and
boughs in the business section, as has
been the custom in former years, is
discouraged by the committees, how
ever, on the ground that they take too
much space and obstruct the view.
Let the decorations be confined to
flags, bunting, flowers, etc.
The advertising committee is hav-
and country large quantities of three
sheet, one-sheet and half-sheet posters
announcing our dig celebration.

Anchor Hose COMPANY,

While the council was in session last
evening the Anchor Hose company
No. l, was reorganized and the follow
ing officers elected: Foreman, E. Kaer-
cher; assistant foreman. H. Conradt;
hose captain, B. Kleck; assistant hose
captain, L. Buth; secretary, K, Kuehn
treasurer, B. Kruger: trustees, L.
Griep, for one year, s. Hildemann, for
two years. The reason for disbanding
and reorganizing the company was that
a few of the old members differed in
their opinions from the majority on
certain leading questions, and the ma.
jority thought it best for the welfare ot
the company to be rid Of these objec'
tionists. The company now has about
twenty members.

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING,
FOurte en-Year- Old Boy the Victim
Missing for Two DAYS

Fourte en-Year- r-OId Boy the Victim
Missing for Two Days.
Shortly before noon Saturday, while
fishing in the river just south of Cady
street bridge, Eddie Lemke discovered
the body of a boy in the water. The
police were notified and the corpse
was conveyed to the old engine house
1t was identified as that of William
Kosbab, the 14-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Kosbab, who reside at 5O3
Seventh street. The boy had been
missing since Thursday forenoon, when
he left home to engage in his employ
ment of peddling vegetables. He did
not return for dinner, so search was
made for him. On Cady street bridge
wheelbarrow. containing the yege-
tables Of which he had charge, and his
bat were found. Suspicion pointed to
case of drowning, either accidental
or intentional, and the river was or
dered dragged. All of Friday was given
to this occupation, but with no disclos-
ures, and the suppOsition consequently
became general that the boy was not
IN the river, but had run away from
home, especially as he had often ex-
pressed an intention to do so. Cir
cumstantial evidence, however, point
e6 to his being IN the river, and such
turned out to be the case.
A coroner's inquest was held over
the body by Justice Henze, the follow
ing composing the jury: S. NJ Eaton,
G. P. Gates, F. M. Creuz, Jacob Eifler,
John Mclaughlin and William Blair.
They returned verdict of accidental
drowning. There are others who think
it was case of suicide.
The boys funeral was held Sunday
afternoon.

CENT. Ten times its price will not buy more
reliable wheel. The makers of Crescent BIZ
cycles are satisfied with less profit than the
makers of other wheels, this is why they sell
for S75 and $50. The Crescents are positively
the highest grade Bicycle made. They are
handsome, easy-running and perfect in detail.
The $50 Crescent is as dnrable-an honest
wheel at an honest price. You simply cannot
equal these wheels anywhere else at $50, $50,
$50, or 800,
The Crescent Bicycle is guaranteed by the
largest Bicycle factory in the world to be free
from imperfection in material or workman

incalculable service, as it better pro-

ruption occasioued by rain storms
than did the tents of former years.

tages have been built this year, so
there are now five cottages on the
grounds. Others attending the meet
ings will erect tents to lodge in. A
boarding house is provided for such as
do not wish to prepare their own
meals and for such as may be on the
grounds only short time. The con-
duct of the meetings is in the hands of

PRESIDENT STIoKNEY OF the Chicago
Great Western road, when, called be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion recently, substantiated the re-
port of strong pooling arrangement
among the roads west Of Chicago
He said that he had refused to be-
come party to it or turn over his
surplus traffic for the benefit Of COM
bine and charged the railroads in the
pools with instigating the present in-
quiry for the purpose Of proving him
guilty Of cutting rates as a penalty
for refusing to join the association.
Chairman Morrison SAID if there
was such conspiracy he knew moth
ing about it but that he was very
anxious to learn of any such trap.
Mr.. ShCkney said that the pool Off
GERS had impoytuned, bullied and
threatened him in order to get his
road into the pool. He said that the
pools method of fixing rates made
anarchists, for the reason that high
rates were charged the farmers and
low rates given the rich grain mer-
chants. In the course Of his evi.
de1ce MIR. StlCkney grew quite elo-
quent and his testimony was sensa.
tional throughout. He promised to
duce every bit of documentary cyl
dence in his possession that would
throw light on the pool but said il
would take weeks to collect it.

with the fact that the Wilson bill has
utterly failed TO yield enough reve-
nue. 10 run the government he admits
it az he must, but tries to parry the
force Of the fact by charging that the
Mckinley bill was also similarly de-
hcient. Well, this is the "you're an
other" style Of argument, but let itg
at that. The Record has always con-
tended that the Mckinley bill was
more vulnurable in it's free trade fes-
lures than in it's protective. The fact
ie, it is too democratic. Nearly all
Legislation is the result Of compro-
mise, some more, or some less. The
Mckinley bill was a compromise. 1t
was by no means an ideal republican
protective bill. The people had been
gradually poisoned with democratic
ideas on the tariff subject for twenty
FIVE years, and as a result Of all their
bowling the tariff was whitfield and
whitfield until in the Mckinley bill it
passed the line OF sufficient revenue.
Just IN proportion as it was in con-
formity with democratic notions it
was insufficient. The republican
party got out just in time TO let the
democrats hold the sack with the hole
in it, but as the hole, If not the sack,
was really democratic, they deserve
TO hold it. II would not have been
80 bad Of course il the republicans
had continued to hold the sack, be-
cause they would have had sense
enough to sew up the hole before
much damage was done, but the de-
moersts punched bigger hole in the
sack, called the Wilson bill, and the
result Is not surprising. The Nc
Klnley bill will not be re-enacted
when the republicans get back into
power, but better bill, one without
the democratic features, will be pas
sed. There will be no necessity for
compromise next time. We will have
q sure enough republican bill, the
revenues will be restored, expenses
will be paid, the issuance of bonds
will be stopped, surplus will be
created, confidence will revive, the
balance Of trade will be on the right
side Of the ledger again, the factories
will fire up, the wOrkingmen will re-
new their songs, business will boom,
farm prices will jump up, debts will
vanish, the people will he happy and
the whangdoodle Of calamity will be
heard no more forever, pluribus
unum, Erin 60 bragh, amenl Selah!
The above is from the Marion Re
cord, Ed. A. Hoch's paper, who has
many admirers among the republi-
cans. 1t will be noticed that Mr..
HoOh says that the republicans got
out just in time and that the McKin-
ley bill, that the republicans here are
so enthusiastic for, is not the thing.
Trouble was coming on the country,
and the Mckinley bill was not the
measure to avert it.
