STEALS FATHERS HORSE;
w. &. WEIGH CAPTURED

Last evening about g O'Clock Officer
Dennis Mccarthy located and captur
ed in local saloon w. L. Wslch, the
Muscatine man referred to in yester-
days ARGUS as having stolen a borse
and rig in that city Monday night.
Upon being notified Of the catch, the
Davenport police sent for the pris-
oner, who consented TO accompany
them to Iowa
WEIGH is about % years of age aud
the son of Robert WEIGH, we'll
known saloonkeeper who owns con-
siderable property in and about Mus
catine. During Monday night the
yoang man took the horse and rig
from his fathers barn and started for
Davenport. He reached that city
yesterday and succeeded in dispos-
ing of the property to an nnsusp CT
ing citizen for the sum of $50. Then
he started out to have time. When
captured he still had $3S on his per-
son. The money was in bills, and 8
Welch was led into the Rock Island
police station he deity tucked the m
into his mouth. in tho hope that they
would be overlooked when he was
searched. His action was noticed,
however. and he was compelled to
cough up. The young man claims
the outfit he sold was bis own,
and did not seem to fear
the consequences of his act.
The father, however, takes different
view of the matter and when heard
from late last night announced de-
termination to let the law takes its
course.
The Davenport police discovered
that the rig had been sold in that
city about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, but they took care to keep the
Rock Island police in the dark about
il, and Officer A kinson came to this
side to make the capture himself.
After fruitless search he told Officer
Mccarthy what he knew aud that
officer soon had his man.

Tieer,. MAKE believe Eye..

Mr.. Beddard of the London Zoologi-
cal society calls attention to a pecul-
isrity of the ears of tigers which he
thinks may be classed under the head
of protective markings" On the back
of each ear is a very bright white spot.
and when the ears are directed for
ward these spots are conspicuous from
the front. Mr. Beddard suggests that
when the tiger is sleeping in the dim
light of cave or thicket the spots on
its ears may appear to an enemy, look
ing in. as the CLEAN of it's watchful
eyes. and thus save the sleeper from an
unexpected attack.

where and How the Famous Body
Was Organized.
When the civil war ended. the little
town of Pulaski. Tenn. welcomed a
band of young men who. though they
were veterans of hard fought fields,
were for the most part no older than
the mass of college students. In the
general poverty. the exhaustion, the
lack Of heart, naturally prevalent
throughout the beaten south, young
men had more leisure than was good
for them.
A southern country town, even in the
halcyOn days before the war, was not
a particularly lively place, and Pulaski
in 1866 was doubtless rather tame to
fellows who had seen Pickett charge
at Gettysburg or galloped over the
country with Morgan and Wheeler. \

THE sOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY.

The South Carolina Inter State
and West Indian Exposition is of vast
importance to the South. This
exposition has for n of its main
objects the c~ultivating of 0
intimate commercial relations with
the West Indian Islands and the
development and expansion of their
vast trade for the benefit Of the manu-
facturers of this section.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1900 American exports Of merchandise
to the West Indian Islands were
greater than to all the fifteen repub-
lies of South and Central America
combined. They were greater than
all our experts to China, Japan and
Asiatic Russia for the same year. and
greater than Il combined exports tC
Russia, Austria-llungary, Spain,
Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Turkey.
Greece and Switzerland.
When we reflect on these facts We
can see the importance of the expo
sition in its aim to expand u vast
trade with the West Indies for til,
benefit of the South. We hope tha'
the people of this section will go t
work and make the Exposition Il sue
cess. Every Southern state SHOULD
aid in the work and be Represented
with an exhibit Of its products. Th,
South is just entering upon Il colder
era of prosperity, and we should talk
advantage of every opportunity 70

advancement.

CHATAUQUA FOR GRENADA.

We would be glad to see Il. move
ment to establish a Chatauqua in
North Mississippi. In South Missis-
sippi there are three Chatauquas, and
all of them have been successful, and
there is no reason why one should not
be established and be made a success
in this end of the State.
In selecting a location for such an
institution no better place could be
found than Grenada. We have a
healthful climate with a pure, invigo-
rating atmosphere and an artesian
mineral well that is unsurpassed by
any water in the State. The remark
able health giving properties of this
water never came into notice until
the past summer, when some re-
markable cures were made by them,
which attracted wide attention.
Hundreds of our own people began to
visit the well daily, and a. number of
invalids from other towns came here
to drink the water and all claimed to
be greatly benefited. Indications
are that by next summer the remark
able curative properties of this water
will become 50 well known that it
will attract many people from other
towns and make Grenada q popular
and important summer resort.
In view of these facts and the
healthfulneSs of u climate there is
no doubt that Grenada can offer a
better location for Il Chautauqua
than any other town in the State.
Such an institution can not only be
| made a success, but it would be of
incalculable benefit to Il town. 1t
would bring into our midst for a two
or three months, sojourn during the
summer hundreds of people of the
best classes, seeking recreation and
the intellectual and religious advan-
tageS resulting from such an assem-.
blage.
w hope to see an interest taken
in this matter and a movement put
ON foot for the establishment of d
Chatauqua.

HONOR IN OFFICE.

The following true and patriotic
expressions are from the Saturday
Evening Post:
1t is an extraordinary thing in
American lifesthat a man with wealth
and opportunities should be content
to go down into history as the cor
ruptor of the state and as the holder
of an Office which he could obtain
only by the use of money. The
result of such work is only too evident.
1t lowers the whole tone of Il COM
monwealth and stains even society
and the church. Bribery, whatever
its form, by letting down the bars of
| morality contributes directly to crime,
| and its evil influences discourage and
dismay people of good conscience, who
give up hope and find recourse in that
fatal indifference which expresses
| itself as. Whats the use? Money
will win anyhow, and one dollar is as
good as another" Even more extra
ordinary is that condition of mind
which not only tolerates these mel
after they have succeeded in theii
plans and purposes, but in Il way
makes leaders and heroes of them.
The effect is always bad. Public
character and private honor botl
suffer. Good people become pcssi.
miStic and bad ambitions grow more
bold. Fortunately, however, there is d
new tendency in our affairs and there
is coming a time when a man may not
commit sin politically and then expect
to keep a good name in private life.
The two things cannot be d~isassociated
They must be judged by the same
standards and there is never a com.
promise between good and evil. The
bought officer diSgraces not only the
Office itself but its purchaser.

THE PRIDE OF GRENADA
Sewerage, Water Works, Electric
Lights,
And Especially Good Health.

The magnificent system of water
works, sewerage and electric lights
owned and operated by the city, is
the pride of Grenada, and we have no
other enterprise Of more Importance
to our people.
Our plant was established in 1897
nj q cost Of 5000. We have five
and one half miles of water mains.
five miles of sewerage and five miles
Of electric light wire. The system
has been kept in good repair, main
tanned and now pays the interest on
the bonds from its income. In fact
the enterprise has been SO successful
that the city board expects to refund
and take up $1,000 more of the bonds
by June 1902.
But it has not been alone from a
financial stand point that III plant
has beeu 4 success. Its greatest good
has been in the remarkable improve
Inent in the health OF the town. Our
artesian wells furnish, water that
for purity and health giving proper
ties is unsurpassed by any wells or
springs any where, Before our water
works system was put in we had nine
practicing physicians, all of them do
ing a good practice. We now have
only five regular p%racticing physicians
and they are not kept by any means
busy. In the summer when there is
50 much malarial sickness at other
places one or more Of them can always
be seen at the base ball games, and
frequently all Of them. During the
last three years Il mortality rate
has been only one%-and-a-half per cent.
which is a remarkably low record.
So marked has been the health of Il
town since our water works were put
in that many people come here in the
summer to drink our water, and there
are "a numberu of people in town now
who came here for their health.
one great advantage of our system
Of water works has been Il lower rate
Of insurance. The rate HAS been
reduced nearly one third in the
business part Of town since they were
put in-thus saving thousands of
dollars every year to Il property
holders.
These are a few Of the advantages
# our water works and sewerage
system. Our electric light system is
also Il magnificent one, and SO great
has been its advantages that the
town could not now do without it.
The rate on water, sewerage anc
lights is a very reasonable one.
Our town is Justly proud of on
electric lights and water works sys
tenn. 1t has not only been a finan
cial success but is an enterprise of ia
more Importance than was antici
pated by its most enthusiastic pro
motors.
