settles the Telephone war.

Rock Island, Feb. S-A telephone war
begun last June came to a climax last
night when the city council by vote Of
s 10 6 declined to grant a franchise to
an independent company known as the
Union Electric. The trouble grew out
of popular discomfort with the charac-
ter of the service and the rates of the
Central Union. otherwise the Bell com
panS. The agitation resulted in the
Rock Island club, the Retail Merch-
ants Association and the Labor Con
gress arraying themselves in behalf of
the new company. Upon the assurance
that the Central Union was endeavor-
ing 10 improve It's service and had re-
dGred its rates the council based Its de-
cision The acton of the council does
not meet with popular approval Near
Is 1000 farmers from the south end of
the county petitioned the city to favor
the independent company.

resided with his fathers family in New

Sdhflowef Camp.

The Colorado Springs Sunday Gazette
Of July 9th, has the following very com.
plimehtary notice of Mrs. L. L. Cor.
belts Sunfiower Camp at Manitou, Col
orado, where a number ofDecatur coun.
ty people are now stopping:
One of the most attractive places in
Manitou IL "Sunhower Camp" just
above Ruxton avenue on the way to
Iron Springs. The campers are mainly
Kansas teachers. Mrs. l.. L. Corbett, q
teacher of 81 years experience and
manager Of students club for the
past eight years in Emporia, Kansas. is
at the head of this cooperative com.
munity. The object for which this
unique camp has been established is
to give rest and recreation to teachers
during the summer vacation. Manitou,
with it's delightful surroundings, has
been selected for permanent camp,
and it is destined to become national
one where teachers from all parts Of
the country wilt congregste to recuper.
ate, both physically and mentally.
Mrs. Corbett is virtually the mother Of
this happy family. A hundred mem
bers are already located tor the season
and hundreds more are on the way.
The organization is made up mostly Of
instructors from the state of Kansas,
who come to recuperate exhausted
nerves and brains and have a royal
good time. The corps Of help is com.
posed of teachers. The food is cooked
by teachers, served by teachers, and
eaten by teachers.
Labor is here ;dignified. There are nc
menials, for the delight of all is to be
able to serve an ideal summer camp, q
veritable "haven of peace and sun.
shine."
A large camp dining hall is the cen.
ter of attraction, while ample lodging
accommodations are scattered over the
grounds. The parlor is an open air
pavilion where all congregate to relate
or listen to explorations in the Garden
OF the Gods and surrounding canGns.
"Our chief object" said one, sis to get
away from books and to turn our at
tention to nature. We brought our old
clothes and no dress parade is indulged
in. If you meet happy, well.fed and
sensibly dressed young man or woman
you can take it for granted he or she is
from 'suntlower camp"
This heaven-born idea took form in
the mind of Mrs. Corbett in the summer
of 1895 while managing club of several
hundred at Hagerman hall, during the,
summer school. The plan Of having q
permanent camp for Kansas teachers
established in Manitou was developed
then, and is now a reality. Another
season the camp will be enlarged to &C
comodate a thousand.

Two men from Nebraska, one a
banker and the other horse dealer,
came to Garden Grove Tuesday looking
for cheap horses. They exhibited let.
ter dated at Garden Grove and signed
by S. I. Miller, saying that he had a
large drove Of horses averaging l,4OO
lbs, which could be bought for $27.5O a
head. No such man as s. T. Miller is
known here and certainly horses cannot
be bought here at anything like such
prices. They said that party by the
name of Hudson, living in their town
(Niobrara), had given the letter to them,
stating that he formerly lived in Garden
Grove, and that Miller was a friend of
his. 1t looks as though someone had
vented spite on them by writing a
bogus letter to start them on q wild
goose chase, or else that the men, for
some reason, misrepresented the object

The next two or three weeks will tell
what we are to have in the way of al
apple crop in this country. The trees
bore an ocean of blossoms, and the frui,
set we'll. Little apples were never more
numerous on the trees of the orchards
all oyer the apple producing part Of the
United States. But the dry weather
that has been generally prevalent hal
been causing these little apples to fal
off. They nave been reported in vari
GUS places as beginning to drop badly
There is not enough moisture to supper
the life of the trees and make a crop o
fruit too, so, being always in the RICH
about these matters, the tree prefers tt
let 60 this years crop rather than letgt
of life altogether, and hence the apples
fall. 1t is believed that if there is rail-
enough over the apple country by thu
first Of August the dropping of thu
young fruit may be stopped, and if thi
is brought about there will be an appl,
crop, it is said that will stand without
parallel for bounty.
