ted by all Davis Cityans. Had the
weather been favorable there would
have been NO doubt, four or five hundred

the crowd was not very large. AS a
matter of fact, it is said that not enough
teams were on the grounds the last day
to harl the disguised concessionaires to

origin az Trou.er..-

Something like a century ago trou-
sers "came in" al the result of drink
and may be said to owe their origin
to old world royalty, which in those
days ate and especially drank very
heavily and was consequently afflicted
with govt and other maladies of a
character to swell the leg. Knee
breeches and stockings-so GEAR not
only to the early presidents Of the
United States and to the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, but like
wise to the old Puritan element Of
America-were scarcely suitable for
swollen limbs, even If they belonged
to the anointed of the Lord, and the
result was that George Nv. as prince
regent; his brothers, the Dukes Of
York. Clarence, Cumberland and Sus-
sex; the French princes. who after
ward reigned as Louis XVIII, Charles
<. and Louis Philippe; King Frederick

The oldest Force STORAGE.

The water wheel is probably the old
est method Of obtaining mechanical
force apart from the employment of
animal force. These wheels were no
doubt at first worked by a flowing river
and then by a falling stream, and it
would not be a very great advance on
this method to dam back the stream
so as to obtain a continuous supply Of
force even in times of drought. Such
storing of water at q sufficiently high
level is the simplest and even at the
present time the most successful meth
cd Of storing force. If carefully ar
ranged, the loss by evaporation and
leakage is small and may be partly or
wholly replaced by rain, so the force is
always available, and but little labor is
needed to keep such works in repair.
The water clock of the Romans was
an elaboration of this method Of stor-
ing force and was for them the only
form of motor"

Diet and Character.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef. If perse-
vered in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious. A
mutton diet continued for any length
of time tends to melancholia. while
veal eaters gradually lose energy and
gayety. The free use of eggs and mill
tends to make women healthy and vi
vacious. Butter used in excess rem.
ders its users phlegmatic and lazy
Apples ore excellent for brain work,

tellectual work to do should eat then
freely. Potatoes. on the contrary. rem

The Corydon Military Band in full
uniform under the leadership of j. +.
Greene left Friday for Leon, Iowa. to en-
ter a band contest with the GAINESVILLE
Mo-, band known as n of the best
bands in Northern Mo. The judges Of
the contest we're all fine musicians, one
being from St. Louis, one from Osceola,
and one from Nebraska and after listen
ing to the playing of the two bands un.
anlmously gave the first prize to our
Corydon boys. Considering the short
time the Corydon band has been
togather thisis certainly an honor to be
highly appreciated and no doubt is.
We do not think there is a band in
the state which has been and is now
making the rapid improvement our band
is and in their new uniforms they make
a fine impression. The individual prizes
were won by Mr.. Jessie Mile, as a cor.
net soloist and MIR. l.. p. Mardis as a
baritone scloist. The prizes were a fine
dressing case for Mr.. Miller and a box
of ten cent cigars for Mr.. Mardis. The
first pl4ze for the band was $75 and the
second PIE $50. In the evening the
boys were entertained at a banquet by
by the Company ] club of Leon. an
organization of the gentlemen of Leon
and to say they were royalty entertained
is not saying half enough. The boys
came home with the loudest praise of
thei- entertainment by the Leon people.
They also say the GAINESVILLE band was a
rice set of boys.-Corydon Times Re-

ARMY's NEW UNIFORMS.
TaiIors Are Forced to Seek the Goods
In Europe and Complications
Result.

The adoption of the olive drab color
for the uniform of the army to dis
place the regulation blue has resulted
in a curious complication which prom
ises to make the cost Of the new uni
forms higher than ever.
The trouble now is the inability of
the mill that made the originalsam
to supply the material in sufficient
quantities. to meet the demand within
the time the department requires the
officers to be supplied. The natural re-
suit has been that several military
tailors have been forced to seek goods
in European markets.
The expense of importing overcoat-
ing prevents the tailor from making
that ga rment for less than $50, which is
$40 more than would have been paid for
the coat if made with American n goods.
The same ratio of increase applies to
the Lighter goods for the uniform.
The circumstance is regretted by
both the officer and the tailor. The
officer cannot reasonably expect to
willingly pay an increase of 33 1-3 per
cent. for his outfit without good rea-
son, and the tailors fear that their posi-
tions will not be clearly understood,
and that their customers may think
they are taking undue advantage of
the conditions.

PLANS FOR NEW CRUISERS.
Are Changed So That the speed Il
Sacrificed to the Fighting
Power.


The naval board on construction
has finally decided on the features of
the armored cruisers authorized by
the last congress. Speed has been
sacrificed in a measure to power. By
a vote of four against one Engineer
in Chief Melville's proposition to give
the big ships $4,000 horsepower and
q speed of % knots at minimum
was rejected and the horsepower will
stand at $4,000, which, he estimates,
Will actually bring the speed down to
about 21H knots The new boats,
therefore, will be 3A knots slower
than the four famous British ar
mored cruisers of the Drake class.
To offset this lack of speed the Ten
nessee class will have much more
powerful battery, the protective deck
al its thickest part being AZ inches,
with 16-inch side armor.
The ships have been given SO much
power for offense and defense that
the engineer in chief will make a mi
nority report to Secretary Moody,
taking the ground that the intent OF
congress has been evaded and the
board has designed actual battleships
and not speedy armored cruisers.
