The Shirt-Waist Man,

Behold me,
Coatless and cool;
l am the shirt-waist man
And II I don't
Take the rag off the bush
/ take the coat
OFF my back
And fling it
In the face OF conventionality.
What do 1 care
II Fashion
Piles the perspiration
Up knee deep
On the backs
OF coated men?
1t doesn't monkey with me,
For 1 yank off my coat
And Fashion
Chases itself ont OF my
Neighborhood,
And leaves me
Cool
AS q cucumber.
OF course,
My shirt waist
Isn't cut according
To the pattern
Ofthe lady shirt waist,
And 1t lacks
Fluff and puff
And furbelOw,
And has a
Superiority OF narrative
Perhaps,
But it gets there
just the same,
And / am comfortable
While those,
Coated with conventionality,
Sweat and swear
And kick holes
In the Weather Bureau
And lose their tempers
10 an overflow Of temperature.
The shirt-waist man
Isn't a recognized institution
just yet,
But he's the coming man
And the hot weather
Brings him out
As it does the tassels
On a field OF corn.
And soon the streets
VIII blossom with him,
Not altogether
A thing OF beauty,
But verify joy
During the heated term.
That's me,
The shirt WI ist man,
And as long
AS l keep cool
Conventionality
May go 10 thunder.

The production of wire nails in 1896
was only 4,7l9,S10 kegs. Last year it
was 1859 ,622 kegs. The increase Of

Magnetic Islands.

The Danish island of Bornholm. in
the Baltic Sea. is so magnetic as to be
danger to navigation. The island
which measures about 20 miles in
length, and is distant about "a miles
east by south from the nearest point
OF Sweden, is famous for its geologi-
cal peculiarities. It consists almost
entirely of magnetic.
Bornholm's magnetic influence is
not only known to navigators of those
waters, but is much feared by them
on account of its influence on the mag
netic needle, which makes the correct
steering OF a ship a matter OF much
difhculty. This influence is felt at a
distance of 10 miles, and so palpablv
that, on the island being sighted. mar
liners on the Baltic at once discon-
unue steering their course by the nee
die, and turn instead to the well
known lighthouses and other signs by
which 10 direct their craft
There are several magnetic islands
and points along the Atlantic coast of
South America. Near the mouth of
the Rio de la Plata is a famous mag
netic point-the western side of the
headland known as the Punta Negra
and navigators of vessels bound for
Buenos Ayres or Montevideo have to
be very careful not to go too near it.
trinidad is another place of the same
description, and one reason for its
abandonment to Brazil was it's utter

The song OF the Angels.

Far of In the dawn Of ages
when the world and its people were young.
One night DER the plains OF Judea
A wonderful anthem was sung.
It was sung by the angels OF glory
To shepherds who watched through the night
Their flocks as they patiently waited
The advent Of mornings glad light.
Flashing out through the shadows Of midnight
There burst forth vision 30 bright
That amid the strange spendor and singing
The shpherds stoo trembling with fright
Lowry, listening, they heard the good tidipgs
or glory and peace and good will,
And the birth OF the Babe In the manger,
The worlds deepest hopes to fulfill.
Never more shall the star and the vision
To the shepherds or wis men appear,
But the song OF the angels forever
Sings on through the world far and near.
Sing on, holy anthem of he aven,
Sing on 10 our sorrow and tears;
Sing peace to the heart Of the nations,
Sing joy to our swift flying years.
-LRev. Frank L. Phalen in Worcester Spy.

1t is the large advertisers that are
invariably the most successful Look
over this city and you will find IL true.
1t is true everywhere The editor of
a leading Western paper says: when
we were publishing a paper at Mount
vernon, ILL.,, in 1872, on the second
floor, store opened in the room un-
der our Office. The senior proprietor
came up stairs and contracted for
three columns of space for twelve
months, with locals and $500 dodgers
each week. He remarked that 1t was
a snap to get into a town where other
business men did not advertise. The
firm started out on borrowed capital.
In three years it had money enough to
start two stores. one in Sedalia and
one in st. Louis. It dissolved part
nership and each partner took a field
to himself. Byron Nugent was the
partner who made the contract, and is
now the senior member of B. Nugent
q Brother, the great st. Louis house.
he not only owns his store, building
and grounds, but has erected a nice
little cottage house that cost him $751;
600. We must say that some of the
old mossbacks who were in business
In Mount Vernon before Byron Nu-
gent ever saw that place, and who
never advertise. are still in business
and grumbling about dull trade and
hard times"

DEAFNESS Cannot be cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and thatis by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing awill be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

WAS FROM KEN0SHA
Frank Ryan, Claiming a Home in This
City, Was Killed in an Accident
at indianapolis, Ind.
BURIED TN THE POTTER S FIELD

Police Of this City Receive Letter From
Minister at indianapolis Asking That
the Relatives of the Man be Informed
of his Death-No Trace of Relatives Can
be Found and it is Thought an Error has
Been Made.
The local police have been very busy
today searching for some of the re1a-
tives Of a man named Frank Ryan,
who was killed In a railway accident in
Indianapolis April 25th. The search
was started in response to letter re-
ceived by Thomas Hansen from the
Indiana town, which stated that a man
named Frank Ryan met with an acct
dent on the railway in that city. He
was taken to a hospital and previous
to his death a short time later he told
the minister who had been called that
he was formerly resident of this city
and his mother was still living here.
The officers at indianapolis took
every precaution to find out the iden-
tity of the boy, and after four days he
was buried in the Potter's field at
Indianapolis on May LIST.
The man who wrote to the police of
Kenosha stated that the boy was about
sixteen or seventeen years of age, and
of a sandy complexion.
AS soon as the letter was received
officer Newhouse was detailed to look
into the matter, and he made a careful
search of the city but failed to find any
trace of the identity Of the man. There
are many Ryans living in Kenosha,
but none Of them could give any infor-
nation in regard to the dead man at
indianapolis. The officers are inclined
to think that the minister misun-
derstood the boy, or that he is
a member of one of the families who
came to this city during the time when
the Sieg factory was running and that
the family have now removed from the
city. However the search will be con-
tinued and every effort will be made to
locate the parents Of the boy if they
are still living in this city

and said, II don't see why the alder

At this point Patrick Haynes took
the floor and attempted TO pour oil on

He said that he was sorry to hear
Weier cast s1urs and attempt to be-
smirch honorable men. He said Weier
should prove his statements. He said
that he had come here with clean hands
and expected to go out with the same
kind of 'patties". Mr.. Haynes urged
the Council to either cake action or
allow them to stop spending money for
nothing.
He said the company was not here
as beggars but as fair men and that
they expected fair treatment. In co1-
clusion, Haynes stated that he would

That the explanation of Mr.. C1ausen
was all right, but Corporations are
corporations and after the ordinance
was passed the city could go to he11".
Aid. Pfennig opined that the Council
was not in a mood for considering the
matter and moved to lay it over until
the mex meeting.
Aid. Sch1enker amended that the re-
port be accepted ami the ordinance will
be published.
Little change has been made in the
franchise. The De Wolf route for a
local line i'll the western part of the
city has been added and it allows two
routes out Of the city to the southwark.
One over Fremontavenue and one over
Rowland avenue. The ordinance pro
vides that one route must be chosen
within fifteen months. Only single
tracks are to be laid on Main, South,
Crate, Elizabeth and Newell streets
and Fremont avenue. One clause had
| been added, which is, that the right Of
way must be kept sprinkled. between
| May 1st and November 1st.
The ordinance permits the use of
electricity only as power. In regard
to paving the company ages to pave
seven feet where single tracks are laid
and sixteen where there are double
tracks, with the exception of Milwau-
kee avenue, on which they agree to
pave thirty-three feet, but not to pay
anything for the grade or curb. The
new bridge for Main street is stipulat-
| ed in the franchise.
In regard to, bonds and sureties the
company are requested to put up a
bond of $50, 900 that Milwaukee avenue
will be paved; one for $4,000 that all
the provisions of the franchise will be
carried out and a certified check for

work viii be started in sixty days.

A PECULIAR CASE.
Child of Joseph Paoint Is Lost For a Night
and Pound at Mrs. Barte1lo's Home.

Early in the evening Thursday the
police of the city were notified that
Florence, the little daughter Of Joseph
Pacini, was missing from home. ALI
night the officers searched the city for
the little girl but could find no trace of
her. The father and mother of the
child were we'll nigh crazed with grief
on account of the affair and for some
time it was feared that the child had
been stolen. The officers were sent to
the home of Annie Nick Barte11o, as it
was thought possible that the child
would be there, but when they arrived
Mrs. Barte1lo told them that she had
seen nothing of the child.
Late this morning the case was
turned over to Sergeant Joe Newhouse
and he went to the Bartel1o home.
Mrs. Barte11o stated that she had seen
nothing of the child, but officer New
house insisted and a search of the house
resulted in finding the child asleep in
one of the upper rooms of the house.
Pacini alleges that the woman came
to his home on Main street Thursday
evening and took the child away. Mrs
Barte11o claims that the child came to
the house of its own accord. The latter
offered no explanation to the officers
for refusing to give the child up. AS
yet no warrants have been issued in
the case, but trouble is expected.
