Will Discontinue the Millin-
cry Business.

Owing to the fact his business has en-
joyed such steady growth and he nov
finds himself unable to properly look
after all the business of the various
departments of his store, j. II. South
has decided to discontinue the millin-
cry business which has been conducted
in connection with his department
store for several years past, and &C.
cordingly Negotiations are now pend
ing between Mr. South and other par
ties for the purchase of the millinery
department Werkmen are now busi-
ly engaged remodeling the store and
when they complete their work the
section of the mammoth room now oc-
cupied by the millinery department
will be entirely separated from the
remainder of the store. Just who the
new proprietor will be Mr. South de-
c!ines to state at present as the deal
has not been closed yet but the same
will undoubtedly he done this week.

Mr. Hanford's present prosperity
demonstrates the advantages which
accrue to the actor manager. He may
have to wait for some time for excep-
tional pecuniarv success, but when it
comes, it is his own. Aud an actor is
very frequently the best judge of his
own powers. If Mr. Hanford had been
appearing under the arbitrary direc-
'tion of manager, it is very doubtful
whether he would have had an OPP
portunity to present private John
Allen" The play is about as remote
from high tragedy as could be i'm
agined. In some passages it is almost
Shore Acres-like in its quiet simplicity
Having firmly established q reputation
as tragedian, Mr. Hanford would
scarcely have been encouraged in his
inspirations in modern comedy-or,
fraeed in modern play of any kind.
Having only his own opinions to con-
suit, he was not hindered in mounting
the play according to his ideas both as
to cast and as to scenery, and the re-
suit is not only satisfying from box
Office point of view, but it means
considerable widening of his recog-
nized scope and resources as an artist.

Winged Passengers.

The schooner j NJ Weatherwax,
which arrived at Port Townsend
from Honolulu recently, had an
unusual experience a few days be-
fore reaching port. When $50
miles off Cage Flattery the schoon-
or ran INTO an immense flock of
birds resembling the Wild canary
thousands of which settled in the
rigging and other parts of the
vessel. The sailors furnished the
feathered visitors with food and
drink and hundreds il not thous-
ands Of the birds renamed on
board till the schooner reached
port.

A soldier in China writes home this
description of the interior of the i'm
pertsl palace: "Velvet rugs covered
the floor, but they had frayed out, and
at every step the dust rose rebellious
from them. And the throne, csnopied,
gilded, backed with sounding board
of carved ebony, looked IS dismal as
the rest of the outfit. If an American
theatrical manager found it in his
property room he would send for the
Junk man to cart it off,"

When republican tells you what q
splenid advance American manufactu-
rers have made in gaming control of
foreig markets, just ask him why it is
necessary to maintain All exorbitant
tariff on the Importation of those very
articles. And when he can't answer
this tell him that it is in order to ens-
BILE the trusts to sell their goods higher
in the United States than they can in
foreign market.
Peach trees in the vicinity Of st.
Joseph, Mich. are threatened by Q
more dangerous enemy than the yell
lows. Local growers call it "shot-hole
bore" Little white insects with red
heads invade the orchards and cover
the trees with tiny holes, the sap leaks
out from these holes and the trees die
for lack of nourishment. An expert
local fruit grower was surprised when
notified of the supposed existence of
this disease. He says: tits common
in Van Buren, county, but | had not
heard of its spreading to Berrien."
Henry Hegemeister, treasurer of the
Wisconsin Brewers association, says
beer drinking is on the decrease in
the badger state. The days of
fortune-making in breweries has
passed, and several large establish.
ments now fail to return fair per
centsge on the money invested. This
condition has been brought about in a
large measure by increased consum-
ton in homes. when people drink
beer at home," says Mr. Hagemeister.
"they are satisfied when thirst is ap-
peased. In ssloons the social or treat
ing feature makes them drink great
deal more. The result to the brewer
can be easily understood"
Owing to the high price of currants
their use in plum pudding and mince
ries will be greatly restricted during
the coming holidays. The crop. the
growth of which is confined to Greece
and the Ionian islands, is partial
failure this year owing to the attacks
of mildew. The only known specific
for this blight is sulphate Of copper,
and on account of the enhanced cost
of the copper from which it is made
the poorer growers of currsnts are un
able to purchase the sulphate. The
price Of the fruit has increased by
leaps and bounds until today it is five
times greater than at this time last
year.

Without q single doubt this section
of Harrison County is about the NEST
active real estate market in the United
States. During the past few weeks
local real estate hustlers have disposed
of farm properties which have an ag-
gregate value of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. The last important
deal to be closed up was the sale of
the f. w. Pegg farm near Modale to
Illinois land seekers. The farm con-
sisted of zoo acres and was sold for
the uniform price of $40 per acre. The
deal was handled by the firm of Bird
& Smith.

Price That staggers Human.

In his farewell order to the troops in
south Africa, announcing his resigna-
ton of the army in the field to General
Kitchener, Lord Roberts said that dur.
ing the campaign $4,000 officers and
men have died from wounds, fever and
exposure. That is a heavy price for
Great Britain to pay for the wiping
out Of the two republics, and the end
is not yet. The money cost is also
great, but that can be horne better
than the loss of so MANY lives, lnclud.,
ing among them the flower of British
manhood. cleveland Plain Dealer

Superintendent A b Warner of
the city schools has in contem.
.plation a temporary change in the
manner of conducting the classes
in the primary departments of the
different ward schools in this CITY
owing to the fact the present facili-
ties are inadequate to accommodate
th 9 classes which are now over.
crowded. The change contemplated
is the dividing the primary classes
into two divisions one of which
will attend school in the forenoon
and the other the after noon
session. For several months it has
been apparent that the present
facilities of the three ward schools
would soon be inadequate to &C.
comodate the rapidly increasing
classes and now this new move is
brought about from an absolute
necessity. Before many months
the tax payers of Missouri Valley
will have to make some new pro-
vision for the accommodation of
the school children.

a Public Statement.

This is to say, that the story cir
culated about town to the effect
that w. FL. jackson told me that
he counted the beans in the lar at
b. III. Gavitt's store, in connection
with the guessing contest, is entire
ly untrue and without foundation.
l have not seen Mr.. jackson since
the award of the prize, nor for sew
eral weeks before. / also wish to
state that Mr.. Gavitt paid my claim
against Mr.. jackson in full, by his
check 1922. IL necessary, 1 will
make oath to the above statement
in court. Q. 81. DEUR.
This is to say: / appraised Mr..
w. 81. jackson of the fact that he
had been awarded the $3.50. 90 prize
by b. 81. Gavitt, by virtue of his
guess on the jar of beans, as ad-
vertised by Mr.. Gavitt, and that 1
80 informed him on the road near
Mobiles Lake. | also will state
that b. 81. Gayitt paid my account
against Mr.. jackson in full, and
honored an order from MIR. Jack
son for the amount.
III. B. ENNIS.
The above notices explain them
selves, and are made to correct an
impression now gaining credence
to the effect that w. II. jackson
had told Mr.. Deur that he had
counted the beans into the jar, at
my store, and that the awarding of
the prize of $250.O0 to him was an
imposition on the other contes-
tants.
Now, 1 brand the entire story as
false, and believe it was circulated
by some designing person with q
purpose of injuring my business,
and moral standing in the COM
munity. In justice to myself and
Mr.. jackson, I take this means of
defending myself. First, l wish
to state the following facts:
First, the prize was awarded ex-
actly as advertised viz, to the one
first guessing the exact number.
(There were seven who guessed
the correct number, 8, l47.)
Second, that l honored several
orders from Mr.. Jackson on the
amount, and paid the balance in
cash; and now feeling that the sto-
ry was told for the express purpose
of damaging me financially and
morally, 1 make, and cause to be
published, the foregoing facts.
