While all this time the artist strolrnG

A Georgetown Boy Who Owned Up to
Another's Ofense.
That the days Of chivalry are not
over and TINT the spirit Of Damon and
Pythias Is not dead Is demonstrated by
an incident that occurred at George
town University and has just leaked
out, y poor young man who had work
ed his way through college passed his
examination and had alluring pros
poets Of employment as soon rs the
graduating exercises were over, went
out with a party OF students for n lark
one night and got Into mischief, as
young men often do, 1t was not dis
graceful act but 1t was q violation of
one Of the most serious rules Of discip-
line, and expulsion was the penalty.
The culprit was unknown, except to
his companions, and they being scrlI-
pulous in the observance Of the code Of
college honor, scaled their lips. But
the Jesuit fathers, who compose the
faculty, were unusually energetic in
their investigations and the evidence
was closing around the poor young
man In manner that made him trem-
bic, when Robert \. w. Walsh, a sopho-
more from st. Louis, entered the office
Of the president and said: II did IT.
Walsh was quiet, well behaved boy,
popular with the faculty and the stu
dents, and his confession created
sensation, for he had not been suspect.

enforced, and with reluctance and re-
gret he was expelled from the Institu-
ton He left Washington, escorted to
the railway station by large body Of
students, returned to his home at st.
Louis and the next fall entered Prince
ton University. The poor young man
received hts diploma and went his way
rejoicing, but It was noticed that he
never spoke Of Walsh without emo
ton. AS the young men are no longer
students at Georgetown there is no ne
cesstty Of preserving the secret, and
the faculty and the students are all
aware that Walsh, being an under-class
man and the son Of wealthy parents,
and having nothing at stake, voluntart
ly offered himself as sacrifice to save
the reputation and the prospects Of his
friend, who otherwise would have been
turned out of the institution In dis
grace The act was done without con-
suftation and without the knowledge
of the student who was saved, and has
received absolution, and Walsh can re-
turn TO the university whenever he de-
sires. He prefers to remain at Prince
ton, however, and the publication Of
the story now will not injure his repp-

Present Prospects.
PROSPERITY OF THE FARMER REFLECTS

ness This Fall.
OUTLOOK GOOD
PROSPERITY OF THE FARMER REFLECT

The present condition of trade, although
not in any wise s%avoring OF a boom, IS
deemed satisfactory and even above the aV-
erage for several years past by both the
wholesale and retail business men OF Coun-
Gil Bluffs. The prospects, they say, Tor a
large increase in all lines OF business TINS
fall appear very bright, and they are look
ing for this increase earlier than usual.
The reason they give is that harvesting
commenced at an early date and In conse-
ouence the farmers will begin to make their
purchases this fall at least a month before
the general time. Crops are good and the
armers of Pottawattamie as a rule will be
we'll fixed and most of them on easy street
this fall, and we look for them to buy
literally and not conine themselves to the
bare necessaries, as th/ have been COM
PEELED to do for a few years past Is the
explanation given by a retailer whose bust
ness to a great extent depends. upon his
trade among the tillers of the soil.
Inquiry among the implement firms and
jobbers shows that they are all preparing
for an increased business this fall. The
spring trade was one of the best for many
years, but this fall they are looking for
even better. The farmers, they say, will
have money to burn and big sales in
Nltlt iiViS itiNS ~
several years the farmers in this county as
throughout the state have not been heavy
purchasers of farming machinery as they
have economical and tried to get along as
best they could with what they had. This
fall, however, the jobbers expect that the
farmers will be purchasing wagons and fall
plows and many of them new carriages.
Business houses say that collections have
held up remarkably we'll this summer and
that people as a rule seem to have more
money. One of the biggest retail grocers in
the city said: 1.-THE prices of groceries, es-
| pecially flour and sugar, have gone up, but
| people continue to buy just the same. Fruit
has been plentiful and consequently cheap
this year, and the housewives of Council
| Bluffs are canning more preserves than they
have done for a number of years past, at
least l Judge this must be the case from
the immense quantities Of sugar we sell.
l also find my customers pay their accounts
more promptly this year, and this goes to
| show that existing conditions are certainly
more prosperous than they were this time
last year."
At other retail and wholesale stores sim
liar reports were forthcoming, and the gen
eral opinion among business men of all
classes in the city is that Council Bluffs
can look forward to a most prosperous fall
! and winter trade this year.
