One hundred and fourteen cars
of immigrant muveablcs and thcil
stock have already been unloadcd
at Washburn this spring. and not
a day passes that does not mark
the arrival of one or more new
corners at Mclean county's cap
ital. Many splendid improve
ments were made in the town last
season, and all winter long Il full
force of all the building trade ar
tisans have been kept busy in the
construction Of added improve
ments. Included in these are new
business blocks, private residences
and public Improvements. general
ly-iGcluding new sidewalks which
have been extended throughout
the business portion of the town.
A large three-story hotel build
ING and a town hall are among the
the. semi-public improvements that
will be made during the early sum
mer, the basement and foundation
for theformer having already been
completed. This is something
that is much needed now. as the
two larger hotels are insufficient
to accommodate all who are obli:..
ed 10 seek shelter there. But with
that generous hospitality SO char
actrristir OF western enterprise,
the people are throwing open their
doors and bending every effort to
give the newcomers a generous
welcome.
The b. w. & CT. i. rniiroad
company have been shipping in
the ties and other material for the
construction OF the extension to

Witty Manner in Which Upstart Was
Given a Lesson.
A man who suddenly became rich
and somewhat prominent in the world
adopted manners which he considered
appropriate to his new station in life.
but which irritated his friends by a
suggestion Of condescension.
DR.. Holmes administered the follow

Having written in this manner to
Or. Holmes, he was more. surprised
than amused to receive the following
answer:
"Mr. Holmes has directed his valet
to instruct his secretary to tell his
typewriter to say that he is in receipt
of your secretary's letter of some days
since, and would say in reply -(etc.,

GaIlantrv of kubelik.

On the evening Of Kubelik's last
visit to Glasgow he drove to the con-
cert hall in a cab, accompanied by
Nine. Bertha Marx and Otto Gold
schmidt. 1t was a cold and wet night,
but opening the door the famous vio-
1inist jumped out and CALAMITY laid his
music books on the top of the snow
and ice in order that his fair partner
might get into the hall without dam
aging her dainty shoes. The famous
story of Sir Walter Raleigh was in
stantty recalled to the minds of the
onlookers, who heartily cheered the
chivalrous action Of the violinist.

as a means Of preventing the
loss Of cattle by lightning passing
from wire fences to them during
storms, it is recommended that all
the wires of fences be connected
with the ground at frequent in
tervals by short wires twisted
around each fence wire and buried
in the earth. The remedy is
cheap and simple, and it seems
likely to be effective.

President Had Some Trouble In En-
forcing tho Order.
President Roosevelt has found it
necessary to bar lighted cigars out OF
the white house. At first Arthur Sim
mons, the colored doorkeeper, who has
been at the white house for many
years, was named as the Presidential
smoke suppressor, but he found his
task SO u%ngracious that he begged the
President to relieve him. The Con-
gressmen and Senators whom Sim
mons was obliged to speak to in carry.
ing out his orders did not take his &C.
ton kindly and they told him to go
back south or to some other warm
place so frequently that Arthur, who
is a devout church member, asked Mr..
Roosevelt to give him another detail.
The president complied and in order
to spare the white house employees
from congressional abuse has had
hung over the mantal in the public re-
ception room the familiar sign emo
Smoking Allowed" The sign is
in somber black, which is such
a contrast to the ivory white of the
room that one can scarcely fail to no.
tice it.
