An Appropriate Text.

A preacher in an eastern city was a
little fellow, so little that a box had
to be hastily brought from the cellar
for him to stand on. The services pro.
ceeded safely until the sermon, when
he mounted the box and announced his
text. "a little while We shall see me,
and Il little while and We shall not see
me-" At this point the box broke, and
the prophecy was verified amid the
smothered laughter of the congrega.

THERE are few very unsophisticated
people who believe that the halfbreeds
look with admiration upon Senator
Spooner But that kind is limited and
very uninfuential. If a halfbreed legis-
lature were elected, Senator Spooner
would not get a vote, not even commend
alton for past services. He would be
bounced out of the senate with every
demonstration of contempt. The usual
civilties would not be observed This
feeling towards Spooner is felt by the
leaders of the halfbreeds; so all talk of
compromise or electing halfbreed for
governor and Spooner for he senate is
the weakest of chatter.-N adison Demo

Advertises the Fact That Its First Set
tiers Were Criminals.
1t is not often that government
celebrates the fact that it is peopled
with convicts and advertises the same
by placing an categorical reference to
it on its stamps which go to the four
quarters of the world. But there is
scarcely a stamp collector in the
world who does not know and perhaps
have in his collection series of the
famous Sidney Views Like the IA
nous triangular Cape Of Good Hope
stamps that were the delight of the
philatelist, the Sidney views" have
entered almost every collection, and
are today the most counterfeited and
forged of all stamps
The name "Sidnew views''' is given
to the stamps on account of the fact
that they carry on their face a crude
view of the city of Sidney, New South
Wales. In the foreground there are
number of categorical figures and a
Latin motto. 1t is these allegorical
figures that constituted the chief inter-
est of the stamps
Seated on chair is the figure of In
duStry, with extended hands, Welcom-
ing the new arrivals from the ships
that lie in the harbor. These new ar
rivals are convicts sentenced to exile
in Botany bay for crimes in the old
country. Around them are bales of
goods, various agricultural Implements
and SO on. Industry is supposed to be
releasing the repentant convicts from
their letters and welcoming them to
where the oxen are blowing the fields
of the new colony. :;
Under this magnificent picture are
the words "Sic Forts Etru.ria Crevit''
CThus Grew Mighty .fEtruria"), and
around the whole is the legend, '.Sigil-
lum Nov. Camb. Aust" which means
Seal of New Wales, Australia"
The value of these asta1nps range
from $40 to $50 each where their au-
thenticity Is unquestionedg But the
trouble is that most of the stamps of
this kind that are on the market to-
day are forgeries, and collectors are
shy of purchasing unless they can Sc

kEoKUK WANTS RIVER DAMNED.
Committee Will Send Resolutions on
improvements to Trans -Missis-
sippi CONGRESS-.

A conference of the delegates inter-
ested in the Improvement of the Mis-
SiSSippi river from St. Paul to the gulf
was held at the rooms of the CONNER
cial club last evening. Present at the
meeting were:
Lyman E. Cooley, of Chicago; Maj
Espy, of st. Paul; r. ]. Easton, of Lou
isiana; J. A. Torbert, of Dubuque, and
A. e. Johnston, Edward Jaeger, and
J. c. Davis, of Keokuk.
The conference will submit to the
congress at the session today series
of resolutions recommending a general
and systematic Improvement of the
river so that the minimum stage Of
water shall not be less than six feet.
The Keokuk party is particularly in
terested in the construction of a dam
and lock to take the place of the canal
at the Des Moines rapids. Maj. Cooley,
who was connected with the Chicago
drainage canal, as an engineer, has a
plan by which the construction of a
dam and lock at the rapids the water
can be raised for twenty miles north.
The plan also includes the construction
of temporary dams at stated points as,
far as Rock Island, which, it is claim
ed, will give minimum stage Of six
feet of water.
The improvements proposed by the
Keokuk delegation involves an outlay
of 100000, but withNthe dam con-
structed it would be possible to secure
a water power which could be used for
manufacturing purposes. equal to any
thing in the country.
The conference last evening directed
the drafting of resolutions which will
be submitted to the delegates interest
ed in the matter this morning, and af-
terward presented to the congress at
the afternoon session.

MRS. HOLLENBERG
GETS SEVERAL LETTERS
Belief Is She Has Heard From Her
Missing Husband-SpecuIatio on
the Disappearance.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, Aug. 49,
Mrs. Clara Hollenberg, wife of Henry
w. Hollenberg, who the police believe
has deliberately vanished, hurriedIy
left her home today and boarded an
express train for Manhattan. This
morning and last night she received
several registered letters and it is be-
lieved she has heard from her missing
husband
Lloyd Duncan, Mrs. Holienberg's son.
will go to Fairchild, Wis. where he will
live with his grandfather, N. S. Foster.
Mrs. Hollenberg knew very little of
her husbands past life when she mar
ried him. Since his disappearance she
has not wept and has not appeared in
the least excited. This leads the neigh
bors to believe that she knows where
he Is.
New Rochelle people believe Hollen-
berg has vanished for advertising pup
poses. A servant at the Hollenberr
house said: 81 don't know. whom the
letters were from, but 1 believe they
came from Mr.. Hollenberg. We are
going to close the house here on Satur-
day and are going back home to Nine

PROMOTED A WEDDING.
WANTS FEE OF $1,000
Remarkable Demand Made by a Wis
consiR Man for Helping Friend
Secure Wedding.

Special to The Globe.
. RACINE, Wis, Aug. 19.-Nathan E..
Manner, an old resident of this city,
today filed a suit for $1,000 against
Edward e. Bailey, son of a retired
farmer, alleging that sum to be due
him for introducing the defendant to
Mrs. Calvin Peck, a wealthy widow,
whom Bailey afterward married. The
complaint alleged that May 1, 1901,
Bailey and Manner entered into a con-
tract whereby Bailey was to be per-
mitted to call at Manners house, where
Mrs. Peck boarded, was to be
introduced to the widow, and given the
freedom of the house, and for this
Manner was to receive 1000.
Manner says he carried out his part
of the agreement; that every night for
forty-four weeks Bailey was given the
freedom of his house; that he arranged
card parties and entertainments to fur
ther the lovemaking, and that the pair
were married, but that he has not been
paid the $1,000. Mr.. and Mrs Bailey
when seen at their home tonight, were
amused at the complaint and sum-
mons, but would not talk for publ
cation.
