A Girls Composition.

Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls are wo-
men that will be ladies by-and-by
Man was made before woman.
When God looked at Adam He
said to Himself: well, I think 1
can do better.if try again. "
And then He made Eve.
-Godlked.EYe.so much better than
Adam that there have been more
women than men ever since.
Boys are trouble.
They wear out everything but soap.
If had my way, half of the boys
in the world would be girls, and the
rest would be dolls.

must have been a little girl when he

simply good business to sell turni, IL,
trre in store rooms to-day that will
necessarily have to be gotten rid OF
before new furniture arrives for Fall

ture department is an unwieldy at

A DINNER at Elberon given by
Manager Jordan, who is also chair
man of the Monmouth County Com
mittee, is taken to be starting OF a
boom for Edward F. c. Young, of
Hudson, for Governor. Among the
guests were Mr.. Young, Judge Kirk
patrick, Chairman Gourley of the
Committee, ex-senator Edward
Murphy of New York, Surrogate
David S. Crater of Monmouth, ex-
Senator Blodgett, ex-Judge Conover
Of Freehold, and City Solicitor Fay,
of Long Branch. 1t is admitted that
the dinner was private, and therefore
the. speeches reported to have been
made in favor OF Mr. Young are
apocryphal. But there is about the
occasion a. very fair indication of
another purpose. 1t is self-evident
that such a gathering of politicians
would not afford any reasonable
approach for the nomination of Mr..
Young-it would besurplusage. But
there IS known to De prevalent IN the
hearts of the Monmouth Democracy
an undying ambition to be known as
the mother of New Jerseys Cover
nQrssi and there. was present at the
dirner a, Jersey Democrat who has
been steadfast among weaklings; who
has always carried his nomination to a
safeasleetion5 who is in the prime of
active lffe,a-a natural leader of men;
whose friends have pressed him tor
the guSeFnatorial nomination, and
whose selection would strip away any
internscihe animosities and leave the
patty fFgg Is fg5:hit only; its opponents.
That bat perS9ns is David S. Crater, at
present Surrogate of Monmouth, and
we'll esteemed throughout the State,
as we'll forlliis actions as for his pro-
fessions; and the forces gathered at the
dinner We're Sufficient to set the ball
rolling, which .willresult in the stiffest
fight that the party has put up in
years.-True American.

THE action of the steel trust in
ostentatiously destroying the build
ings and abandoning the mills at
McKeesport and at other points, and
the removal of the plants to non
union mills is a blunder OF the first
magnitude. 1t is, in the first place,
boast of the wealth of a corpora
ton which can afford to destroy prop
ertv at will, while hagging over
wages and terms. 1t is, in the second
place. a serious blow at property
owners and business interests at i'm
portant points, and is harmless
against those at which il is aimed.
And. in the third place, it gives full
verifcation to the fears of the
Amalgamated Association that if the
trust should be allowed to run a part
of its mills under the union and a
part non-union, it would prefer the
non union mills to the union, and
throw all its work to the non-union
mills, as far as possible, using the
union mills only under necessity.
As tits now, thesteel trust, through
an agent, specifically declares that
it will destroy what union mills it
can. thereby throwing the work to
mills which have been mutually
satisfactory.
As a preliminary to a conflict which
is but Just inaugurated, the action Of
the steel trust is therefore too much
of a threat and a bullying to have
any other effect than to drivetogether
interests which might we'll havebee
left apart.-True American.

WANTS EXTENSION OF TIME.
Captain Jacques Says He Is Too III to
Prepare Brief in Water Case.

A petition was prepared today,
which will be forwarded to Judge
Smith Mcpherson of the United States
federal court, asking the court to eX-
tend the time within which the city of
Ottumwa may file its brief in the case
of the appeal from the decision of
Judge Mcpherson granting the City
Water Supply Company an injunction
against the city of Ottumwa prevent
ing it from erecting new system of
waterworks. The petition will ask
that the time be extended until
March /, 1902. The reasons set forth
are that Captain w. H. G. Jaques, city
solicitor of Ottumwa, who is prepar-
ing the brief has heart disease, and
that his physicians have ordered him
to take trip south for the benefit OF
his health. The statement of Cap
tain Jaques is backed up by affidavits
from three of the prominent physi
clans of this city, who say he has a
serious case of heart disease.

TROUBLE IN HARDIN COUNTY.
No Authority Found in Iowa Code for
Expenditure.

Eldora. Dec. 23.-The recent act of
the board of supervisors of this coun-
ty in passing a resolution to employ
expert accountants to examine the rec
ords and work of the various county
officers as far back as their terms of
Office began is causing almost as much
talk and excitement as the tax ferret
resolution.
A telephone message received from
a member of the board stated that
Skinner and Hedges had been employ
ed at a salary of Sc a day each. These
are the men who made an eXamina,
ton of the state records which raised
such a storm among the newspapers
of the state and with what result!
Just one official was indicted and there
is but hole doubt as to the final out
come of the case. 1t is estimated that
lit will take the experts six months tC
do the work here at an expense OF
| 81 500 to $4,000. The question arises
who will pay this money?
| If the board expects to pay this out
| of their own pockets no one can kick
| IT they attempt to pay it out of the
county funds, where do they get theil
authority for such expenditure? Sure
ly not in the code. There is but little
doubt but what in case the board at
tempts to pay this expense out of thu
county funds and injunction will b.
served to restrain payment and TIL
matter will be taken into court.
1t now appears that the county off
cials did not petition the board to pas
such a resolution, but that the resolr
ton was passed and that the audito
then asked certain officials if the.
were willing to have such an examine
ton made. The officials had no objet
tons, but the taxpayers object to thei
: useless expenditure of money to il
vestigate officials who have never ha
a shadow of suspicion as to their hol
eSty and capabillty raised.

WILL BANQUET.
ottumwa Democrats Will Feast anc
Toast on jackson Day.

OttumWa Democrats VIII Feast and
Toast on jackson Day.
[From Tuesdays Daily.l
At meeting of Ottumwa democrats
in the council chamber of the city hall
last evening it was decided to hold a
banquet in this city on Jackson day,
January s, 1902. An executive COM
mittee composed of five men were Sc
lected to make all arrangements. The
present plan is to have a banquet some
place in the city, after which the even
ing will be occupied by various prom
inent democrats in replying to toasts.
On account of the lateness of the day
it was decided not to reach out as far
as expected with the first affair, but
rather to confine it TO local celebrities.
C. d. Fullen was made chairman of the
meeting on motion of Mayor Picker,
and S. A. Brewster was made secre
tary. After listening to the views OF
those present on the subject, Judge
Moon moved that a committee of five
be appointed to make all arrangements
to hold an banquet and the motion pre-
vailed unanimously. The chair ap
pointed Mayor Picker, Senator McIn
tire, S. A. Brewster, Judge Moon, and
after Fl. J. Ostdiels had declined an ap
pointment, motion was carried that
Mr.. Fullen act as the fifth member OF
the committee The meeting then ad
iourned and the executive committee
met and made it's preliminary arrange
ments by appointing number of sub
committees and getting things lined VI

WAS A HEROIC ACT.
Burlington Passenger Train Saved BY
Boys Quick Wit.

The presence OF mind of Fred Car
bine, a fifteen-year-old messenger boy
at LAGRANGE, NJ, saved Burlington
No. 2, the fast passenger train which
passes through this city at l1:40 y.
m. from a terrible accident. The af-
fair happened Wednesday morning but
the details have just come to light.
The boy discovered that the switch
stand on the track over which all the
through trains pass was broken off
and the switch thrown wide open.
Looking up the track he saw the head,
light of passenger train No. 2 rushing
toward the gaping switch Eat sixty
miles an hour.
