Prof. austus' New School.

Prof. j. E. Gastus, who has been
connected with the business depart
ment Of Augustana college as princi-
pal and teacher since 1890, who de-
clined reappointment recently, has
arranged to open the Gustus School
of Business in Moline. A delightful
suite of rooms has been leased in
Skinner block opposite the postofiice
there. and the term opens September
at 10 a. m. A large hall containing
$3.50 square feet of floor space will
be partitioned off with glass parti-
tions, SO as to provide four class
rooms, a reception room and Office,
and which will be furnished through
out with modern school furniture.
The plans for light, ventilation and
heat are all OF the best. The school
will have a capacity for 200 daily
students. The courses of study will
be two courses, the business training
and shorthand and typewriting, and
will be modelled largely after the
plan of the best eastern business
schools, and will comprise the study
OF about fifteen subjects. Prof. Gus
tus will be assisted with q splendid
corps of teachers, all of whom are
specialists in their chosen branches.
A lecture course upon business
ethics, economies, ETC., will be ar
ranged for. A night school in which
nearly all the subjects taught during
the day sessions, will be organized
during the early part of Septem Der.
Prof. Gustus' decision to leave Au-
gustsna was attended by the sincere
regrets of the faculty there, and
President s. p. A. Lindahl, of the
board of directors, has written a let
ter in which, while testifying that
Prof. Gustus leaves at his own free
will. he compliments him on his
great ability. and the satisfactory
manner in which ne has discharged
his duties. and regretsing his de-
parture from the institution.

SMASHING RUNAWAY.



Rough Hxperience Of Joseph Coyne Of
Port Byron.
Joseph Coyne, q farmer residing
back OF Port Byron, had an exciting
runaway when returning home from
Rock Island yesterday with q wagon
lead of lumber and shingles. He was
descending slight incline Just this
side OF Port Byron, when the shin
giles became dislodged and slid for
ward off the wagon, carrying Mr..
Coyne to the ground directly under
the load. The team at once became
manageable and dashed ahead,
dragging the wagon over the pros
trats form of Mr.. Ceyne, and the
wagon breaking in two. the animals
rushed furiously over the railroad
tracks and finally made for the
river. into which they went. They
were rescued. MIR. Coyne had in
the meantime been taken TO the
drug store of his brother, c. C..
Coyne, in Port Byron, where DR..
Merry man attended him and found
three ribs broken, while the system
generally had undergone a severe
shock. but, strange to say. and for
tunstely, too. ne further injury had
sssn sustained. It was enc Of the
widest runawsys that has happened
in the upper end for many day.
A team attached to hay wagon
ran away on Elm street late this af-
sernoon. throwing the driver out.
and scattering the hay along the
street., but doing no serious damage.

Mammals In the Water.

Cats, which have an intense dislike
OF wet, swim well, carrying the head
high. Their distaste fer aquatics does
not extend to the larger cats. Tigers are
fond Of bathing, swim fast, and, in the
case of the "river tigers of the Sunder-
bunds and the tigers near the coast of
the straits of Malacca are constantly
noticed in the water. Whether the
trained Egyptian cats which Were used
to take waterfowl in the reed beds by
the Nile ever swan when stalking
them does not appear from the ancient
pictures. But the extent to which the
dog voluntarily becomes aquatic entities
some breeds to be considered amphibi-
GUS. A dog belonging to waterman
living near one of the Thames ferries
has been known to continue swimming
out in the stream for an hour without
coming to Land. 1t did this for amuse-
ment on fine Sunday morning.
Another riverside dog was taught to
dive and fetch up stones thrown in
which sank to the bottom. This dog
would pick out stones from. the bottom
OF a bucket Of water, selecting one
which it had been SHOWN before from q
number Of others. 1t had SO far become
amphibious that it could use its eyes
under water. In France otter hound
puppies are introduced to their aquatic
life by settling their kettle of soup in a
pond or stream SO that they must GO in
deep to feed. Soon they. become as fast
swimmers on the surface as the otter
itself, though the physical advantages Of
submarine motion give the otter the ad-
vantage when it is below the surface.

Tom Henderson, the young man
who says he was held up at Sears
Sunday night while on his way home
on q bike, is wanted by the police.
He is accused Of stealing pair of
pantaloons and e2.10 at the London
clothing store yesterday. He asked
one Of the clerks to show him some
trousers. He took pa;r and tried
them on, but said that he guessed
they would not do. Shortly after
ward one of the attaches of the store
went to the dressing room in which
he had hung up an old pair Of panta-
looms in which he had left $2.1O.
Money and trousers had disappeared.
Henderson. it is claimed, put the
trousers on under his own. He
can't be found, and is supposed to

John Bradford, of Lonoke county, raised sixty bushels of onions on one-third of an acre of ground. He sold the onions at sixty cents a bushel and cleared S25 on his one-third of an acre. He estimates that with proper care and attention POO bushels of onions can be grown on one acre of ground, and at fifty cents a bushel this would give the producer Sl00 per acre. MT. Bradford says it is much easier 10 cultivate onions than cotton, and less labor is re- quired. With thls fact demon strated the farmers oa' the state ought to supply the homo market and ship hundreds of thousands of bushels of onions abroad. Some will persist in growing just enough corn for thelr own use, and the balance of their crop is cotton. When they learn to diversity on the lines as indicated by Mr. Brad ford there will be less complaint of hard times.-Atkansas Demo crat,

There is entirely too much whin- ing and grumbling and complain ing about hard times. Times are generally what the individual makes them, and to hide behind the guise of "Hard Times" as an excuse for not paying your debts, IS dish onest. The Spring River News, of 1mboden, among other sensible things, on this subject, says: Jf we show the proper spirit of enterprise and energy we will certainly reap greater re- ward than if we sit down idly and occupy our time in talking "hard times" Times are certainly not as hard here as they are in less favored sections, and we are con- tronted by the question of whether we will make them harder by our continued futile eomplainings, or easier by our enterprise and thrift.

 may be seen in this paper. It IS
 an interesting document, 10 be
 sure, and will surprise some who
 peruse it who have eretofore be- lieved that "Women's Clubs" meant demands for masculine privileges, movement upon which a large portion of people generally look with disfavor. In thIs address stress is laid upon the home lite and duties of women; particularly as to better cooked food, better sanitation, and the domestic graces in general-polnting out the great need of cultivation along this line, which she thinks just as important, or perhaps more so, than that of intellectual training. She rightly concludes that in the home the nation IS made or unmade, and the first impressions there made upon

1t is becoming more and more apparent that every farmer should turn his attention 10 a greater di- versity of crops. 1t is question whether any fruit grower or farmer can afford to buy something which ho can produce himself. A farm is not complete without1ts garden; its chicken yard filled with fine breed of chickens; it's hog pen full of hogs; its barn yard stocked with the best milk cows; and, in fact, everything that can be raised for home consumption. A living is then assured, and perhaps some thing more; and if the main crop, be it either fruit or grain, should prove a failure, the farmer's living is assured at any rate. We must get down to actual business the same as all farmers do the world over. There is no occupation in life more independent, and there is no country in the world where this occupation can be made more pleasant and profitable than this. -Ex
