Something for Everybody 4n the
 Bible.

Philadelphia Record.
 Few people would think of reading the Scriptures for practical and useful information, but it can be demonstfa~ ted that many valuable tips are cons tained in the holy writings. Secretary of Agriculture, Wilson declared in a ras cent address delivered at poyiestown that he didn't know of any book that contained more hints of value to farm ers thkh the Bible. and astronomera can point to verses which inpars knowledge of the movements of tho stars. That the science of forestry waa we'll known in the days of Job is point- ed out by City Forester Lewis. wha calls attention to Job xiv:7: For there is hope of a tree if it be cut down. that 1t will sprout again and that ths tender branches thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old In the earth. and the stock thereof die in the ground, yet through the scent Of waters it will bud and bring forth boughs like a plant"

CHEERFUL REPORTS.
Commercial World Is Very
Encouraging.

New York, Feb. 16.--R. G. Dun 4 Co.
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
continues of good volume in nearly all
parts of the country, and reports from
the west and southwest of a satisfactory
distribution OF merchandise by jobbers
begin to have a familiar sound. Heavy or
ders come from agents on the road. There
is no important change in prices in any de-
partment of manufactured goods, and some
staples rise while others decline, but the
longer the situation remains as at present
the surer the business world feels about
a rise in prices in the future, for the de-
mand for merchandise for prompt con-
sumption does not decrease Some progress
has been made in the direction of settle-
ment of labor differences in the far west
and the temper of soft coal miners Is more
amicable, while there is little concern
among steel interests over the sensational
stories of organization at the mills to en-
force demands for higher wages. The
standard measures of business make ia
vorable comparisons. At some points there
are evidences of an inclination to delay OPP
erations in iron and steel until something
definite is known regarding the proposed
combination, but this applies only to small
undertakings, which are insignificant in
comparison with the urgent dealings that
cannot be postponed. Purchasers find diff
ficulty In securing even approximate esti-
mates for delivery of goods in many prod
ucts and mills are so far behind orders as
rule that no new contracts are sought.
Structural material and railway supplies
are In greatest request, numerous heavy
orders being accepted this week at full
prices. There is no inclination to shade
quotations of fnished forms, and pig iron
at Pittsburgh again advanced.
Failures for the week numbered 257 in
the United States, against 21S last year, and
In Canada 40, against AZ last year"
Bradstreet's says: TRADE advices are
rather more cheerful. This applies as much
to current retail business, which has been
enlarged by wintry weather, as IT does to
ton in the general confidence felt as to
the outlook for the coming year. Prices
show exceptional strength, all things con-
sidered, the one weak spot being raw cot
ton, which shares the rather unsatisfac-
tory tone manifested by the cotton goods
and yarn markets. Foreign demand, for
our breadstuffs has been rather better, and
this is reflected in heavy exports, particu-
larry OF corn. Specially cheerful reports
come from the shoe and leather, the lumber
and the iron trades, the strength of prices
OF the latter having been increased by the
talk OF pending consultations, although
the volume of business is restricted from
the same cause. Failures are smaller than
OF late, and current railroad earnings show
large gains over good returns of a year
ago. Despite the check to new business
given by the talk of consolidation, a fair
volume of trade is doing at all leading iron
markets and the advances noted in these
columns last week are firmly held"

FOR BETTER COURT ROOM.
Move on Foot for Alterations 10 linz
prove Defective Acoustics

The board of supervisors have for
some time had under consideration
plans looking towards ways and
means of altering the court room of
the Mahaska county court house and
correcting the faulty acoustics of the
room.
1t is well known fact that the
room is very faulty in this particu-
lar. There is something in connec-
ton with it's dimensions that magni-
fies sound until echoes are heard
from every wall. 1t is almost i'm
possible to hear with distinctness the
voice of speaker unless the listener
is but few feet distant. The fault
has been complained about from
time to time until patience has ceased
to be virtue and the board now
proposes to take the bull by the
horns, and, if possible, to remedy
the defect.
1t is proposed to run a partition
across the south end of the room and
about half the distance to the cell
ing, which is very high. Here will
be made a jury room and an attor-
ney's room. Better accommodations
for the juries are imperative. 1t is
impossible to heat the present jury
room at all times and members of
juries have been made to suffer Sc
verely on account of the imperfect
conditions existing. 1t is thought
that the change will do away with
this part of the problem. The seat
ing capacity of the room that would
be lessened by the placing of the
partition would be added to it by the
placing of a gallery over the pro-
posed rooms and at the sides of the
court room The total seating ca
pacity would be increased rather
than diminished.
Another fault that is to be found
with the present arrangement is the
Jury box location. 1t Is in a place
Immediately in front of the east side
windows and permits all sorts of
winds, drafts and breezes, other than
those emenating from the eloquence
of attorneys, to blow over, across or
between iurymen occupying seats in
the box, greatly to the impairment
of health. A change is desirable,
but just what can be done with this
defect has not yet been determined.
The changes should be made and
will be greatly appreciated by the
public in general and all who have
business in the court room.

BRAVE SOLDIER DEAD.
Away-Daring Deed That Won
Him RenOwn.

Lancaster, Pa, Feb. 16.-George W.
Brientnall, who died here, was one of
the famous soldiers of the rebellion.
When scarcely more than Is years of
age he enlisted as drummer boy. At
the battle of Shiloh he displayed re-
markable GOODNESS and bravery and
was afterward known by the sobriquet
"The Drummer of Shiloh" title per-
petuated in song and drama. In this
engagement he was blinded by powder
in both eyes, but his sight was restored
by surgical operation.
Brientnall enlisted three times, and,
as a scout, discharged the most valu-
able services for the northern cause,
He was noted for his shrewdness and
dauntless courage. He received a pro-
motion for long standing at h. post,
when all his comrades had fed, against
60 of Mosby's guerrillas.
