SESSION OFTHEFARMERS
Rock Island County Institute Being Held
at Port Byron.


The Rock Island County Farmers
Institute is holding a two DAYS ses-
sion At Port Byron. The institute
opened yesterday, and tonight will
close the most successful gathering
OF farmers ever held under the aus
pices Of that organization.
The meetings are being held a. the
Congregational church. Rev. j. +.
Willard opened the institute with de-
votioral exercises. DR.. w. H. Ly-
ford made an address of welcome, to
which Hon. W. F. Crawford respond
ed. President Thomas Campbell fol-
lowed with his ann al address. my
Experience With Vegetables" was
the subject of paper by Mrs.
Charles Ashdown. E. T. Fursman,
of FL Paso, ILL.,, spoke about ..Corn
and Its Commercial Value;" and
County Treasurer TItterington Of
County FINANCES. In the evening
an original poem entitled 1.-The First
Tempter." was read by Miss Alice
Campbell. OF this city. 1t brought
forth great enthusiasm and, appar-
emily, the hearty appreciation Of the
men folks present, notwithstanding
that the poem turned the tables on
Adam, and blamed him for nearly
every thing which history lays at
Ewes door. lille Drainage and Rain
Fall' was the subject of very inter.
esting paper prepared by T. C..
Lewis, who was unable to be present,
and read by b. +. Fountain.
| All OF these papers were discussed.
bringing forth many valuable ard
profitable suggestions, as did a paper
on EARN Laws" by C. j. Searie
who contended that notwithstanding
the bad financial condition the farm
er is now in, he has no greater rea-
son for discomfort than those en-
ployed in other industries. There is
one advantage the farmer has, Mr.
Searle held, aad that is he is not
compelled to look out for a Job; he at
least always has work, and as q re-
suit he usually gets some remunera-
ton, however scant; whereas, tho se
engaged in other occupations in
times of depression lose their situa-
lions and find themselves unable to
get work at any price. Mr. Searle
suggested that every farmer procure
the last edition of the revised
statutes of the state containing tbs
Declaration of independence and the
constitution of the United States,
the past and present constitution OF
our state. as well as the laws that
govern our lives, liberty and prop.
erty; and to supply their libraries
with few good works on civil gov.
eminent and constitution, histories oil
The United States, biographies of our
great men. that, by the way. Mr.
Searle held, are as much a s,imulan,
to the average boys ambition as
alcohol is to the blood-and above al
with the laws OF our county and
state. MIR. Searle took a hard rap a,
monopolies, and advised the farmer:
, to post themselves on all that per.
tains to their individual and genera
welfare. TO the end that sometime
may yet be accomplished by the stat,
and national legislatures locking I,
the betterment of the many evils Will
which the farmer and townsmar
alike suffer.

''There is class of people" says a
railroad man, "who are always last to
leave the cars-for purpose. This is
especially noticed on suburban trains.
They go from one end of the train to the
other, looking in seats on both sides Of
the car. 1t is impossible for our men to
be always on the watch, and presumably
there are many losses that can never be
reclaimed. New York Tribune.

grave In the deep. They arrived in
Salem early 10 1896. A few months
later they removed from Salem, settl-
ing near Brownsville. The son was
sent to Willamette University where
he prepared himself for the ministry.
Shortly before graduation, Mr. Deni-
son went east to attend the Drew
school located in New
Jersey. While there he received four
diplomas. Having completed his
course, Mr.. Denison returned to Salem
and received the degrees A. NJ, d. D.,

NEXT ATTRACTIoN.-Sutton Vane's
melodrama, Humanity" which made
such hit at the Academy Of Music,
New York. and the Columbia Theatre,
San Francisco. will be produced here
for the first time at Reeds Opera
House next Monday with Joseph
Grismer and Phoebe Davies, at the
head OF the enormous cast. The play
is one Of William A Brady's most sue
cessful attractions, aud IL will be put
on with a splendidly equipped Com
pany-the latest stage effects. With
true love that runs roughly for its
theme, and war, murder, bomb explo-
sions, broadsword combat, fox hunting
with English thoroughbred and
trained hounds, aud similar realistic
features 10 enliven a sensational plot,
Humanity is unquestionably one OF
the strongest melodramas on the
stage. There is no waiting
for the last act for some realistic feat
nre. The play is laid Ia England, and
In the African Transyaal, the scene OF
many a bitter British soruggle, aud !
very recently the seat OF diplomatic |
that shook the civilized
sorld. There are i've great acts, and |
en- beautiful scenes by the best living
