STIR THINGS UP | SAY.
MAKE A SENSATION,
SET PEOPLE TO THINKING.

Chapman wants everybody to know
that he sold his business July to John
@. Dickinson and Frank Remick and the
new folks are Remick & Dickinson.
Chapman wants them talked about. He
wants their name in everybody's mouth
and their address in everbody's mind,
and there's nothing like a sensation to
put it there. Well, to get down to what
was going to say, their new fall stock
will be in about County Fair time or
sooner, and they will make a good re-
port later. Thanking everybody for
their generous support in the past, and
hoping tht everyone Of that everybody
and lots more, too, will still come to

ne.truetion of Forests.

q s
ysTy pertinent comment is that made by
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams OH one Of
the causes that have led to the downfall
of Spain. 1t is a fact that this peninsula
once supported a population of 40, ooo,-
900 to 90, 600, 600 and now holds a
meager II, 900, 900. The main reason for
that is stated by Mr.. Adams as follows:
During the last three years l have
passed much time in Europe. visiting,
among other countries, Spain, Italy,
Germany, France and England. Who
ever wishes to study the effect of defor
esting on country and on its people
should by all means visit Spain. Not
only has the country been ruined, but
the very character of the people has
been changed by the wholesale destruc
hon of trees and the neglect of their re
newal. The rivers have become noun
tain torrents and large portions of the
country a rugged, upland desert. The
same process is today going on i'll Italy.
The result on that country, as noticed
by me in visits ten years apart, is lam
entable. The ancient forests are being
wholly stripped from the mountains,
and, while the rivers are converted into
torrents, the water is not held in the
soil. In Germany, on the other hand,
the forestry laws are admirable. Ths
result upon the country, climate aud
rainfall is apparent to the most careless
observer
1t is certainly timely TO urge the ma
tion that it shall not permit itself te
copy the Spanish example Of decay il.
this or in any other respect. The fact
stated by Mr. Adams has been corrobo-
rated again and again tn the effect that
the denudation Of the mountain slopes
of Spain and the erosion Of its soil have
reduced it to condition of semiaridity
and Iessened its power To support popu-
Iation until one third OF its ancient
population Is today indulging in bread
riots.
1t should be shock to our self re.
spect 70 note that Of all the civilized
nations We most nearly copy the Span
ish stupidity IN the waste of our forests.
The source OF our error Is nearer than
theirs Our grandfathers or great grand
fathers we're from the necessity of the
case a tree telling race. and with the
custom inherited from them we have
gone On destroying forests where they
still exist and failing to 1estore the
waste land that they have been cpt
from We should certainly set about
showing ourselves TO be wiser than the
nation Whose decay is now 50 evident.
The forests of the Pacific slope should
be intelligently preserved; the waste
lands of the Mississippi valley and At
lantic coast should be reforested.
There can be no better investment in
a double sense than to replant those
portions of the country that are practi-
calIy useless for farming with the trees
that in generation or two would by
their value as timber repay the cost
with interest -Pittsburg Dispatch

TWO CHANGES
In the Salary Ordinance to Be RECON-
msndsd by the Finance
Committee.

The finance committee of the CON-
mon council met last evening prepara-
tory to the regular council meeting OF
next Monday evening. The principal
point of discussion was the matter OF
the salary ordinance that has been
ehronically under consideration by the
committee and the council since the
annual meeting in May. The COM
mittee will recommend that the
salary of the street commissioner
be changed from $50 to $40. and
that the market master be relieved
from the duties of the inspection OF
stock and slaughter houses There
was no salaryy agreed upon by the
committee for the inspector to be
selected to do the work of stock and
slaughter house inspection, and the
whole matter of selecting a man and
naming his salary will be devolved
upon council rs a body instead of on
the committee. 1t is probable that the
man and his salary will be named in
committee of the whole, and without
difficulty agreed upon.

Satisfactory Arrange
ment Is Made.

BEFORE SANTIAGO, Friday. vis
Kingston, Jamaica, July l6.-The
Spanish today claim the work of the
commissioners is preliminary and mus,
be ratified at Madrid. Meantime the
commissioners have concluded the ar
rangements of terms covering the
evacuation entirely Of the province of
Santiago. These are signed by both
sides now and await the approval of
Madrid. General Shafter said Linares
appealed to him to allow the soldiers as
Well as officers to be permitted to take
their side arms back to Spain and
Asked him to intercede with the Presi-
dent. He said he refused to consider
the contention that the approval of
Madrid was necessary, as Toral and
Bianco had made the surrender com
plete.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July ia spe-
cial from Santiago published here gives
the terms of the surrender. Among
them are that the refugees will be
turned back into the city; the United
States hospital corps to care for the
Spanish sick and wounded in the city:
all Spanish troops in the province, ex-
cept ten thousand at Holguin, to come
TO the city and surrender; all guns and |
defenses of the city to be turned over
% the Americans in good condition.
Americans have full use of the Jurugua
railway. The Spaniards are to be
taken to Spain with the least possible
delay. in American transports, and
allowed to take portable church prop
erty with them. The Spanish to sur
render their arms.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 16.-The
war department posts a letter sent TO
day by Toral to Shafter saying he is
now authorized by his government to
eapitulate. He acknowledges the great
and generosity of our gen
erals in using influence to have the
