switch on the Illinois Central and Rock
Island at this place is about completed.
The new residence of John Walton
will in few days be ready for occupan-
scy. This is a fine residence, situated on

ing at the Richard S opera house by Lee
land T. Powers; subject, David Gar
rick" This is the third season that the
high school has given these entertain
ments, and each year has proven COM
1plete success.
1t is rumored in railroad circles that
the Rock Island contemplates putting
on thru passenger-fast train-from
Sioux Falls to Kansas City by the way
of Des Moines. To accomplish this they
will pass over the Cedar Rapids &
Northern to Sibley and then over their
Gowrie & Northwestern branch to Cow
RE, then passing over the old road to
Des Moines.5 This will take place about
July i, 1901.
With the advent OF the Rock Island
road into this city new impetus has
been felt. New enterprises are being
ll3
contemplated, greater energies are being
exerted by the business men and other
towns are recognizing that Manson,
with its long-established business
houses and genial merchants. with their
abundant capital. is to be one Of the
trade centers Of this part of the state.
No better place could be found than
this city fora canning factory. The soil
is adapted to the successful culture and
raising of all kinds Of cereals and veg
etables. Any person contemplating To-
cation for such an enterprise would do
well to correspond with the Business
Mems Association of this place.
The new town we'll is down to depth
Of nearly 400 feet without any water vet.
1t is the intention of the city council to
go down at least to $500 feet, If neces-
sary. to get sufficient water to supply
all demands.

MORRISON IN FEDERAL COURT.
GrinneIl Glove Max err Charged w It'll
Violating Alton Labor Law.

Violating Alion Dor Law.
Des Ioines, Nov 26-David Morrison,
prominent manufacturer of Grinnell,
Iowa, had private hearing before
Judge Smith Mcpherson, last Saturday
night, in defense Of an information
charging him with aiding and abettins
alien laborers to land in this country
contrary to the immigration laws. After
listening to all the evidence Judge Nc
Pherson took the matter under advise
ment and will announce his decision in a
few days. The information was drawn
up by the United States prosecuting at
5torney, and a demurrer thereto was filed
T by Mr.. Morrison's counsel.
4 Mr. Morrison is a glove manufacturer.
and it is charged that he imported for
eign contract labor to assist in the
manufacture of his wares; sending adj
vance money to the foreigners in order
to pay their expenses to this country.
Under the federal statutes this is an in
dictable offense, being contrary to the
immigration laws, which prohibit the
sending Of even one dollar to a certain
class Of foreign laborers. The federal
immigration laws are especially strin-
gent, so that the case at bar at pres
ent Is an important one. 1t is also the
first time that this charge and offense
nave come up in this district of the
federal court for several years. On ac-
count of the prominence of the accused
the federal authorities refuse to divulge
any Of the particulars,
Upon the decision Of Judge McPher-
son on the information and demurrerde-
ponds whether or not the matter Will 70
before the federal grand jury, which Is

Sir Walter Scott had a bull terrier
named Camp, which he taught to un-
derstand a great many words. Camp
once bit a baker, who was bringing
bread to the family. Sir Walter beat
Camp and explained to him what a
great offense he had committed, after
which, to the last moments OF his life,
he never heard the least allusion to
the incident without getting up and
sinking off to the darkest corner OF
the room. Then. if you said: "The
baker was we'll paid" or THE baker
was not hurt at ALL" Camp would come
out from his hiding place, caper about
and bark joyfully. When he was old
and unable to accompany Sir Walter
when horseback riding, Camp would
watch for his return, and, If the ser
want said that his master was coming
down the hill, or through the moor,
Camp was never known to mistake
him, but would start of to greet hiS
master.-Buffalo Times.
