Niagara Falls.

One of the grandest natural
curiosities in the world is Mag
ara Falls. 1t has been written
a bout by many writers, but it
remained for our own Monroe
Co unity product. Mark Twain,
to give the world 1.-THE first au.
thentic mention" of the great
falls. He handles his subject
as only he could. His article
appears in a book entitled 1.-THE
Niagara Book" This book is
not only notable because OF its
| literary merits, but because it
is the only guide to Niagara of
any Importance. Every person
who is going to.visit Niagara
cannot afford to be without this
book. because in it you will
find a consecutive description of
the falls, programs for visitors,
statistics and the rates of
charges, thus making il an in
dispenslble book for those who
expect to visit the Falls. Then
if you never expect to visit Nj
agara Falls you should have the
book, as it will give you much
valuable information regarding
Niagara. In this book the falls
are treated from all points of
view-humorously, scientitical.

their guns as security and the birds that
they had with them as evidence.
The birds were spread on the table be-
fore the court this morning. Each boy
plead guilty to the killing OF the birds
that had been taken from him. The
turtle doves were young birds that had
left the nestsfor but a short time. The
scheme was to have pot pie. which
these tender bits will furnish to q
queens taste. Justice Altman had sized
up both the birds and boys and said:
The law allows fine Of $40 for each
bird and each of you knew better than
to shoot these birds at this time Of the
year" There was no dispute over either
of the statements. A fine of $40 and
costs was imposed on two of the hunts
men and SIS and costs on the third. who
had been a little more ambitious than
the others for the pot pie.

REPUBLICAN DUTY.
TOtt1Irnwa Co,,riar1

LSSSOiiiWd SOuTleI.J
Republican duty, says Hon. John
Mahtn, in the Muscatfne Journal, en-
Joins each voter to remember that his
party is greater than any Individual
in 1T or out of 1t, and that its prin-
ciples are more important than the
private or political fortunes of any
leader. There may be at times stand
ard bearer of the party not to the vot-
er's liking, but he should vote the tick
ct of the party because he has faith in
the beneflcent influence Of the rule
of the party and desires Its continued
predominance in the land.
A political party can have influence
and power only by it's members sink
ing individual differences and acting
as unit. The enemy may seek to
divide and conquer. This is q device
as old as satan and should not prove
successful in this age of Intelligence
and wisdom.
In this campaign Just now begin
ming in Iowa all past differences in
the party should be put aside as far
as possible. Principles. not men,
was tn. shibboleth of the democratic
party IN its palmy days of power in
this country. 1t is a motto we'll worthy
.oeIadoption by the republicans of Iowa
at this time. Whatever may have been
the derelictions of this or that man
in years that are gone, let the emula-
ton of each one now be to show his
loyalty to party. The delinquency of
some one else at some other time may
be a reason within party lines for
coming between him and his ambitious
purposes, but when the party in state
convention has decided question of
this kind, individual Judgment should
yield and party fealty should be the
supreme law.

They Don't Care For Dress.

Though Wall street men dress we'll as
a rule, the brokers who do most Of their
work on the floors OF the several ex-
changes seem at times like mobs of .olc
clo'es" men. Antique coats, rumpled
and rusty. are the rule-any old thing
that will stand the strain of much elbow
ing and some pulling and hauling. Later
in the day these men make themselves
more presentable. 1t is only while they
are busy with the gymnastics OF buying
and selling that they are n disreputnble
looking lot. One must go, though, to the
New York real estate salesroom to see
the choicest specimens of ancient and
sorry attire. There you may look on
men who, if they wished, could array
themselves in the finest of garments and
come and go in automobiles. but they do
not care for that sort OF thing. They can
read their titles clear to lots and houses;
they are at the real estate auction room
with money in their pockets ready to take
title to more lands. Why need they
care for dress New York Sun.

ENGINES Blew UP

Clinton, Aug. 13.-Two Of the new
class mogul engines recently put in SER
vice on the Northwestern road exploded
on Saturday night, one at Sycamore, the
other at Troy Grove. Engineer Smith
was so badly injured at Sycamore that
he died soon after.
The railroad company made up spe-
cial train to convey Mrs. Smith 10 her
dying husbands bedside. She arrived
before he died, and when he passed
away fell unconscious. All efforts to
rally her have failed.
In the explosion at Troy Grove En-
gineer Dysart and Fireman Crowder
were blown thru the engine cab and Sc
riously injured.
Railroad men claim the new locomo-
tives had defective boiler flues.

one of the largest saw mills now on the
Mississippi. the w. s. D. of Rock Island,
are some seventy-five Davenport men.
the employees of the mill that recently
burned. Scarcely had the smoke cleared
away from the blackened blocks when
the Weyerhaeuser & Denkman Com
pany called a meeting of the disheart-
ened men who We're thrown out of en-
ployment and asked them whether or
not they wished to work at night at the
mill across the river. The meeting was
held at the Office of the Rock Island Fuel
Company on East River street, and with
wave of enthusiasm was the question
answered.
The situation was this: Here were
men who had worked all their lives in
the lumber mill business. Were the
men now, with streaks OF gray in their
hair, to begin all anew In this world in
any other business with less than half
Of their former pay?
The next day after the meeting was
called the saws at the big mill in Rock
Island were kept running for twenty
four hours, and these saws have kept on
running since then with only rests on
the Sabbaths.
The lighting of the mill wac no little
task. About the great whitewashed
rooms are swung hundreds of incandes-
cent lights. with twenty-one arc lights
in the yards. The electrician in charge
I is William Endlich and he is one of the
men who have no time to nap. A new
dynamo was put into the mill for the
purpose of lighting. tho before the night
work was begun there was one large
dynamo for the purpose. The greatest
of care must be exercised to prevent any
possibilities of fire from the wires.
Twenty-one arc lights burning over
the yards make them all fairly brill
liant, but it was deemed best not to at
| tempt to pile the lumber at night. So
the men merely haul the lumber, after it
| is sorted, to ts respective piles and 1t is
nut into place by additional men in the
| day time. Because of this difficulty. the
gang saw, the thing that turns out the
! boards on the wholesale plan all at once,
| ia not run. Most of the logs are cut into
heavy timber by the band saws, or
squared for the gang saw to be cut in
| the Cay time.
