The tobacco warehouse of Barnard &
Wilder, on the st. Paul tracks in the
sixth ward, is being made practically
fireproof on the exterior by covering
of tin siding, the basement being given
rock face finish. The color is a warm
red so that its appearance is quite no.
ticeable to even the casual observer.
The firm will employ about 40 hands and
begin operations Jan. l. The warehouse

WANT A MEMORIAL HALL.
The G. A. r.. Prefer 1T to a Soldiers Mont



The G. A. r.. Prefer it to Soldiers Nom
ment.
A movement is underway to change
the plan of expanding the $4,000 APP
preparation voted at the election last
month for soldiers monument to be
placed IN the court house park at James
vile and erect Memorial Hall instead.
The initiative was taken by the G. A. r.
post at GAINESVILLE, and a committee APP
pointed have issued the following circu-
lar letter:
AS the feeling among our business
men and citizens throughout the county
seems to be in favor of erecting Mem
orlal Hall, instead of a Monument, W.
IL. Sargent Post, G. A. r., of GAINESVILLE,
has taken the project in hand and APP
pointed committee to push the matter.
Will you, first, have your post take ac-
ton on this matter? Second, appoint
committee of three to confer with like
committees from other posts? Third,
see that blank petition be placed in
the hands OF every member of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, and also, every
OLD soldier and sailor in Rock county.
The sum already set aside for this is
$1,000. For this amount a good sub
stantlal Memorial Hall can be built,
with large room for mementoes of the
civil war, and a good large room to be
used by the old soldiers of the county at
all times. Let us work shoulder to
shoulder in this matter until we see a
Memorial Hall, which will be lasting
credit to our county.

Committee.
1t is thought that three room mem
orial hall could be built for $4,000 that
would be notonly useful but ornamental.
The rooms could be used as a G.. A. r.
hall, museum for war relics and Ii
brary room. The project will be thor
oughly canvassed by the different posts
in the county, and an expression taken
in petitions. The petitions will be pre-
sented to the board at it's next meeting
in January and arguments in behalf of
the plan will be made.

DR.. Dwight ]. Roberts of Chicago,
who is pursuing the study of his pro-
fession ut the Brompton Chest hospital
in London, expresses the opinion that
the English people are sinking into
physical degeneracy. In company

ceipts came from women and children.
Nor is the drink habit more general
or destructive in Whitechapel than in
parts Of London enjoying better rep
utation for responsibility. Its evils
are supplemented by those of the cigar
ette habit, which seems to be fastening
itself upon all classes of English socie-
ty, male and female. These facts TAX

to understand why the physical appear

MosaieS In an Old Tomb.

A German archaeologist, Professor
Jacobsthal, has Just returned to Berlin
from an expedition into Asia Minor,
where for eighteen months he has been
engaged in researches along the lines
in which he is most particularly inter-
ested. He spent most Of his time in
eastern Armenia, in the valley of the
Aras. In lecture recently delivered
in Berlin the professor says that but
two Of the ancient monuments in east
ern Armenia are still In existence, and
these two are Of such highly artificial
work that one cannot find its equal
in any part of Asia Minor. The
smaller one OF these monuments used
to be the mausoleum of Jusuf Ibu
Kutaijr. and according to well-pre-
served inscription was built in 1162. 1t
is an octagonal building, some &c feet
in diameter and about "a feet high up
to the roof. The other one is the

Gro.pfh of "Oleo" 1usiness.

AS indicating the enormous growth
of, the oleomargarlne business in the
last few years 1t is stated that during
the last year 104.000.000 pounds Of
''oleo" were sold in the United States,
much OF it under false pretenses as
genuine butter. This was jump of
25.000000 pounds over the sales OF the
previous year. During the last year
also the number OF oleomargarine fac
tories in the United States has in
creased from seventeen to twenty-six.
In thirty-two states OF the Union there
are now In existence laws which ab-.
solutely prohibit the manufacture OF
oleomargarine colored to initiate but

states referred to during the last year.

gress. 1t is proposed to make the tax
on oleomargarine a part Of the inter-
nal revenue tax of the federal govern
ment. While the state laws are not
enforced II Is safe to say that the fed
eral statute would be, as the tax would
be collected at the factory. Under the
provisions Of the Grout bill It is not
proposed to hinder or interfere with
the sale OF "oleo' when offered on Its
own merits and without any attempt to
deceive people into thinking they are
buying butter. With this idea In view
the present tax OF two cents a pound
which is collected on all oleomargar-
Inc is to be reduced to one-quarter of
cent n pound on oleomargarine
which is put on the market In
its uncolored and natural condi.
ton. On oleomargarine which is

other hand, to ten cents pound. This

General James ii. Wilson Of the army

from Pekin as follows:
"Any one who has not been here

what the latter have gone through. 1t

in his own hands. Captain Myers of
the marine corps was his most heroic
assistant. The vigilance, constancy

A writer in the December number of
the Worlds Work has taken up for
serious investigation the cry raised in
the recent campaign that on account
of advances of socialism as example,
fed in the trusts, young men no longer
have chance to win great business
success without wealth or influence.
The writer has interviewed prominent
men in the various industries and pro-
fesslons, and the unanimous testi-
mony Is that the young men of today
have a better chance. relatively and
absolutely, than their fathers had. Few
Will dispute this conclusion, so far as
opportunities for earning n comfort
able living are concerned. At the same
time 1t will be no less generally ad-
mitted that the chances are much
fewer for winning success by building
up an Independent enterprise. The
young man who is unwilling to work
under other men is likely to have a
hard time in this era of organized in
dustry. .
