Town Of Holland.

Yesterday the writer had tie pleas
ure for the first time of driving across =
the south end of this county, and to
say that he was pleasantly surprised
is expressing it mildly. Instead OF
finding it sort of semi-wilderness as
we had almost expected to, we found
as beautiful stretch of prairie land
under as high state of guilty alton as it
has been our good fortune to drive
across. 1t is surprising, how many
things in general have progressed in
that part of the county in the last few
years, and especially in the town OF
Holland. Where less than Is years
ago there wasn't house to be seen
you now find scattered all over,
the homes of a thrifty and intelligent
class of farmers, the nationality being
mostly sHollanders. These people
have come here from diferentssparts,
to make for themselves a home and
competency, and they are certainly
going about it in the right manner.
They are bringing the soil.to high
standard of cultivation, grading the
highways, planting trees and shrub
berry and building up their homes as
fast as their means will allow, and
in many other ways try to beautify
their town. In the centre of the town
is located the village of Prinsburg.
Here aretwo stores and a church. The
Hollanders rs a rule are a religious
and god-fearing people. They are
also liberty loving people and will
fight TO the death rather than give up
this priceless boon. We have an ex-
cellent example of this in South Africa.
The people in the town of Holland are
proud of their adopted home and they
certainly have reason to be. In our
judgment it is one of the best towns
In the county, and with it's Industrious
citizens is bound to forge to the front.

PELICAN HEADQUARTERS

Pelican Bend. in the Missouri River, near St. Charles, Mo-, is the scene of a great annual gathering of pelicans. There is a big Hat bar in inc river there which has endured fur beyond the usual span of bars existanca in the trelch- erous, shifting current of the Missouri, Iris bar is the selni-annual stopping place of vast fiocks of pelicans that lni- glate from south to norts in the spring and from north to south ir the fall.
 Persons who have observed theii tabta claim that they invariably arrive at Pelican Bend on September 4, and re- main until cold weather sends them soutfl.
 The pelican is not an attractive bird. He offends both the eye and the nose. But he is commendably regular in his habits. The parent birds catch fish, and after eating their fill deposit the others in their pouches under their bills and carry them to their young. These pouches will hold from from three to eight pounds of fish. They are elastic, and when distended to their utmost nearly touch the ground. When empty the pouch lies close up under the big bill, and Is merely mass of wrinkles It is tha pouch that gives the pelican his characteristic and disagreeable odor, caused by particles of, decaying fish.
 The pelican's legs are short and

THE lEOLINEUX HERDICT.

The verdict in the Molineux case came aG a great surprise to many of those who had studied the testimony as it was reported in the papers. They felt very doubtful about MolineuX' S guilt and they felt very sure that the testimony against him wasn't conclu- sive. Of course this kind of feeling may not be very valuable. There is no doubt that the jury which gave the ver- dict wal carefully selected and uncom- monly intelligent and capable. It is re- ported that there was substantial agreement among it's members when the case was first considered in the jury room. It should be remembered, too, that the jury has had an opportunity to see as well as hear. Still, the fact remains that the evidence has been purely circumstantial, and largely ex- pert So whatever Is said or done many will continue to think that the verdict waa not the one that should have been given. Probably whatever can be done to save Molineux from the electric chair will be done, and there may be a long and strenuous contest before his fate is finally decided.

acres of land which may become the finest cattle-ranges in the world, and that these acres, stocked with Hereford cattle to their capacity to furnish feed, would be equal to 00oOO,O00 acres in H. linois. The climate is such as to re- quire no shelter, so that cattle may run the year around. The experiments so far made show that the beeves are fin ished to the top of the market. Cassava brings them to this condition. Such feed is used two months in winter, and the rest of the year the stock feeds on native grass.
 This is promising. Quite as promising as the Florida orange stories used to be. And cattle are certainly hardier than orange..

----- - ----- ----- ------- - ------- - DLSAPPOINTED.

Many of the goodrpeople of New York welt, the advocate of purity in politics
 and the exponent of the strenuous life.
 So far he doesn't appear to have come
 up to their expectation, and he has
 done some things which have decidedly
 disappointed and displeased them. One of these things is the removal of pr.
 Backus as trustee of the Long Island State hospital. This action has led the Brooklyn Eagle to talk right out in meeting, and as the Eagle has been friendly to the Governor it's attitude now is very significant. It declares that Dr. Backus would scorn to receive an explanation of this act, and declares that the explanation the Governor owes is an explanation to his own conscience. It says as regards the reasons for the act that they are reasons which the Governor of New York dare not di- vulge, and that neither his position nor his character, with all the respect which upright men would like to feel for both, is sufficient to dispense with the state- ment of the reasons or to sustain them, in the event of their statement" and still further that Theodore Roosevelt has offended the moral and reform sen timent of this community more than Frank s. Black offended it by the ap- pointment of Louis F. Payn."
 This is plain and serious talk from paper which went so far as to support Governor Roosevelt in consulting Thomas c. Platt before appointing n superintendent of insurance. The Eagle seems to have reached the limit, and it's protest appears to be fully justified.

INIERESTING FINANCIERING.

\ New Haven has recently borrowed
 money from some of her citizens, though not on very extensive scale. The city of Salem, Oregon, has begun a
 course of action which will, it Is expect ed, continue until all her debt is owed
 to her own citizens A large part of the
 debt of Salem was recently refunded on
 the popular-loan plan, somewhat after
 the manner of the national govern
 ments popular loan to secure funds for
 the prosecution of the Spanish-Ameri- can war. The refunding bonds of the city of Salem are per cent. call bonds, payable on or before ten years from the date of issue. The bonds range from $50 to $500 in denomination. The inter- est is payable in Salem instead of at some outside financial center. The issue was subscribed four times over The smallest subscriptions were filled first. If this plan is adhered to in further bond issues, as it probably will be, the outstanding bonds of the city of Salem soon will all be distributed among the citizens of that place.
 It is argued that the Salem plan is an improvement over the federal govern ment's plan in that the bonds issued can be called in by the city at any time and paid. This tends to prevent specula- tion, because call bond will not rise above par in the market like time bond, especially longtime bond. The ability to call in the bonds at will ena- bles the city to keep the rate of interest down to the normal level If per cent. is too high the bonds can be taken up and others issued in their stead at lower rate until the figure is reached at which the bonds would sell at par if placed on the market.

pie take in good horses and a place Tor speeding them.
 New Haven has a wide reputation as center for carriage manufactures, ard there could be no better advertisement for the fine carriages made in our clty than to have good speedway on which the best of turnouts would be exhibited every day.
 There is one place in New Haven which would make fine speedway, ana that is the Boulevard. It is broad, has a straight stretch of at least three-quar- ters of mile and IS so far out from the business portion of the city that It IS not impeded by trucking nor crowded with pedestrians.
 The writer wishes to suggest that an effort be made to have the Boulevard put into condition for speedway, and hopes we may hear from other pereons interested in this subject.

 Our plans are wrecked-Don't worry! A few years more and you'll be told To step aside because you're old, And then some younger man will hold

 But never mind-Don't worry!" Day after day she took his hand
 In hers and said: Don't worry"' She kept his woes before him, and

FASHION NOTES,
Complications in skirts Inorea.

Complications tn skirts Increase.
 The indications are that the pleated skirt Is to be the thing for wash gowns next summer. It isn't a pleasant pros- pect, because such skirts will be dread- ful affairs to launder. So long as there is worn some variety of them that will look as though it might go to the tub readily, the fashion will be all right. Once it goes beyond that, there will be harm done. It will mean that the soiled dress must be thrown away, and that will be senselessly extravagant. But the present tendency in skirts is toward elaboration. The complications of some of them are surprising. The gown sketched at the right in the accompany ing picture is an example. It's goods was white ladies cloth, heavy cream lace supplying panel and first tlounce. Lace wae very freely used on the bod ice, which had pauel to match 1t with
