At RANDOM,
Remarks About the Christmas Tide Mall
Delivery and Collection.

The Christmas season which Is now
closed or soon to close within a few
hours duration, has been characteriz-
ed by extreme commercial activity
Beginning as it did about week and q
half before Christmas. the holiday
trade increased in amount and value
as time passed by, until the great
world holiday was distant only two or
three days. Then as people realized
how little time was left to make pur-
chases in they flocked to the stores and
various retail business houses in
crowds, taxing the clerical force of the
majority of the stores almost beyond
endurance.
To many, many merchants it seemed
as though the last Christmas of the
10Th century would not be up to the
average from financial standpoint.
Yet as an example of the present pros
perity the statements of several of the
citys jewelers., that the sales for Sat-
urday ranged from $1,000 to $500 need
only be quoted to show how utterly
without foundation.
This prosperity has not been confln-
ed to any particular class of merchants
but has been general; nor has it been
local, for all over the country the law
of demand has almost euualled and in
some cases exceeded the supply.
One of Marietta's leading florists told
a Leader man Monday night that the
demand for cut flowers had been al
most unprecedented. His stock had
been exhausted by Saturday night and
he was compelled ITO telephone to Chic
ago and New York and other points,
with the result that the prices which
were quoted him were almost twice
that asked for the same flowers in this
city. In Chicago American Beauty
roses sold for Sc per dozen, while the
price here was only So. The prices of
other articles has been moderate and
in some cases even extremely low.
For instance, the amount offered for
poultry in some of the large markets
was not enough to come uD to cost
price of production.
The express companies and post Of
flee department have been kept busy
every available moment of working
hours, delivering packages and bundles
all over the city. Monday the postof-
flee department had two wagons and
three men busy in delivering and col
lecting the heterogeneous Christmas
mail. The express companies also
made special provisions for the ac-
commodation Of their holiday trade.
The pos5office will be oDen until 9
o'clock this morning. The carriers
will make the usual morning deliveries
and the evening collections. In the
evening mail may be secured between
the hours of and 7:10

In one of his letters Thomas H.
Rurlay, the great English Scientist,
made the following confession:
To attempt to live by any scientific
pursuit is farce. Nothing but what
is absolutely practical will go down in
England. man of science may win
great distinction, but not bread. He
will get invitations to all sorts of din
ners and cOnveraziones, but not
enough income to pay his cab-fare A

A DISGRACEFUL WAR.

Cruelty and cowardice generally go
together and meet the same end. The
recent Boer victories. the invasion of
Oape Colony and the peril of gem
eral revolt in that territory are the
result of the adoption of harsh meas
ures which Lord Roberts counseled
against. Though Great Britain may
conquer in This disgraceful war it will
always have fight against the race
hatred engendered by the barbarous
policy dictated by the lingo gentlemen
in England, whose ferocity indicates
the littleness of their mental caliber.
Lord Roberts entered South Africa
with a thoroughly good plan of cam
paign and desire to conciiate those
whom he defeated He was denounced
by the little jingo gntlemen at home
in the hour of success. He left Africa
landing the courage of his antagonists
and pleading for peace with friendship
Before he had arrived in England his
work IS undone. the Free Staters and
Transvaalers are fighting more flercely
than ever the Cape Colony is ahame
with the spirit of revolt and even the
British volunteers are murmuring in
discomfort. The war has been re-
kindled by the same petty malice that
started It, The good people of Eng
land are made ashamed by the misiit
craftsmanship of their imperial ad-

bridge is about $50 feet long, and is
erected on concrete piers with granite
caps. There is not single piece of ma
sorry in the structure except the gran
lite caps. The best Portland cement was
used in the construction of the piers,
which are said to be OF greater lon-
gevity even than stone. The symmetry
and general appearance of this bridge
is splendid and many photographs have
been taken OF it. AS has been previous
ly stated in the Courier, it's reputation
has reached London, England, where
noted journalist has written for
photographs and description of the
an illustrated article.

the sights, some for the novelty and
still others especially for their health.
But no matter what the mission OF
our journey here was an opportunity
for an experience that IL would not do
to let pass. 1t was to pay visit to
Old Mexico. Well, all we had to do
was to cross the Rio Grande river and
plant our feet on free silver soil and
Bryan idealism. Having stood within
the borders of the old republic We
were content to resume our journey

CT @. Ayres, of Fairview addition; w.
w. Rankin, of South Ottumwa; Sene-
ca Cornell, of the second ward, and
L. G. Hepdershott, of the third ward,
aspire. OF these democracy seems to

ward, 10 is said, and If the signs of
the times are anywhere near in plumb
when convention time rolls around Mr..
Cornell may be the nominee. Ayres,
Hendershott and Rankin, it is said, put
1T on the ground that the party owes
to them for past services well done
and in addition thereto Cornell says
he has a pull in Eldon, his old home,
that is calculated to swing Washington
township.
For the office of member of the
board of supervisors, nobody seems to
want the place, but at the right time
somebody will get the itch for the
office and be induced to spend his good
hard money to say nothing Of his
time for place that is personal
sacrifice for busy man to accept.

p. u. Rogers Dwelling and Household
Goods Go UP In smoke.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
About $3.50 o'clock last evening fire
destroyed the one and one-half story
frame dwelling in Campbell's addition
near the Teter green house, owned and
occupied by p. B. Rogers. None of the
household goods were saved, on which
it is understood there was no insurance.
No member Of the Rogers family was
at home when the fire occurred, but
it is supposed to have been caused by
a defective fue. 1t is said that the
dwelling was fully insured, but for
what amount could not be learned.
The fire department was called to the
scene of the confiagration, but the
house was situated outside of the wa
ter limits and nothing could be done
toward saving it even if there had been
water connections as the roof had fall
en- in when the department arrived.
Among the household goods destroyed
was new organ, which had been in
the house but a short time.

to see the reporter. The latter person
had lot of things he desired to know

Milwaukee and why it was that hotel

possible to answer those questions, or

not for the fact that he was compelled

The American Flag.

The American flag now floats over q
land of barbarity. II anyone had pro-
phesied this four years ago, he would
have been laughed to scorn. Yet change
is constantly taking place. Nature is
tmerciless. So soon as she discovers an
improvement, the old, whatever IL may
be, is doomed. The fact that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the famous cure
for dyspepsia, has remained unchanged
for halt century, proves it's value.
Try it for indigestion, biliousness, con
stipation or malaria, fever and ague,
and be convinced. Your case is not in
durable. You simply have not used the
right remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is what you needthe sooner
the better. 1t is particularly valuable
at this season of the year.
