M llSs is to be the attraction at
the Illinois next Friday evening.
There are many quaint characters in
troduced into this idyllic drama of the
breezy westland, taken from life.
Made into a play, the novel has lost
none of its charm or power. Most of
the comedy in the play is furnished
by theatrical actor-manager in
hard luck, and a Justice of the peace,
whose knowledge of law is of the most
limited character, yet who does every
thing accordin' to the statoots'. In
the mining camps of California in the
early SOS, there were many such
characters. There were actors who
travelled from camp to camp doing
anything from Hamlet" to a song
and dance. managing their own at
fractions, and presenting anything
their patrons demanded-what it was
made little difference to them. Most
of the local legal offices were filed by
the men who could control the most
votes. 1t was necessary for a camp
to have a coroner and justice. but
it made little difference to the miners
who they were. As long as the offices
were filed that was all that was ne
cessary. Another unique character
is Yuba Bill, the driver of the Sacra-
mentO stage and the local wiseacre
of the camp. The production which
has been made for the revival is said
to be one OF the handsomest that the
play has ever had, and the company
is reported to be very strong and well
balanced organiz,zeion. Nellie Nc
Henry, one of the most charming
of the American stage,
will be seen in the title roll.

1t is claimed by the advance man
that no play of recent years can
boast of as many strong attractions,
novel effects and natural surround
ings as The Punkin Husker," to
be presented here next Sunday The
first of settings is one of the oldest
scenes imaginable. The new barn
with its corn cribs. fence and other
ppurtenances form a setting to the
typical rustics that throng it, the
dances and games that these people
indulge in, are equally in keeping
with the surroundings. The country
road with its grass grown sides, tum-
bic down fences, rambling low rooted
houses and an inevitable roadside
pump and trough is another quaint
scene. The farmhouse sitting room is
just as odd and unique. with its odd
fashioned stair case and windows
The play itself is just as odd and or
iginal. and just as strong and origin
al as the settings.

Saint Gaudens' equestrian statue of
Gen. Sherman at the entrance of Cen
trail Park, New York city, is said to
promise additional fame to the great
sculptor. From the newspaper cuts of
it we should say the statue presents
the General heroically and truthfully,
but the horse he rides carries its head
like the saddle hurt its back. Saint
Gaudens' statue of Lincoln in Lincoln
Park, Chicago, is surely as great a
piece of work as exists in the west.
There is the grandure of character in
the subject to begin with, but in the
execution of the work nothing seems
lacking. The pose of the orator,
statesman, philosopher, thinker is in
every line and lineament. II is sim
plicity and strength. Those bronze
globes at either side of the approach
to the statue always arrest our atten-
ton when we stop to look on this
work OF art. Engraved upon one of
them is the immortal Gettysburg
speech and on the other extracts from
his inaugural addresses. 1t strikes us
that those great thoughts per-
fectly expressed in the best English,
already famous in literature and in
history, constitute as perfect works OF
art as the splendid monument reared
by the sculptor, and promise to be
more enduring than marble or bronze.

Road Building.

From the Marshalltown Times Republican.
The clay ballast road, withth brick
wheel track, seems to offer the Iowa
farmer hard road at an available
price. The supply of clay for the
burnt ballast used by the Rock Island
and G. b. & Q. railways is inexhaust-
ible and its value when thus prepared
has been thoroughly established.
With wheel tracks laid in paving
brick and the sides and horse track
composed of the burnt ballast, it is
estimated that road capable of with
standing ten times the best macadam
may be built by convict labor for
$1,000 per mile. THIS sort of road, il
practicable, measures more equally
with the farmers pocket book.
A writer in the New York Herald, in
recommending this plan says:
''If long term convicts are employed
TO make brick and other road mater
ials, and short term convicts are en-
ployed to make the roads, as is
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ny Tie oIdJeS oIICe OF
Public Road Inquiries, the cost of
constructing brick trackways for our
country roads, should not exceed $500
or $1,000 mile, and in many cases it
could be made to average less than
5000 mile, exclusive of the necessary
grading and hauling of material.
Furthermore, if well made they should
last for many years. OF the 81 600, 900
spent in 1902 in New York mostly in
making stone roads at a cost of about
$1,000 mile, probably 81 200, 900
could have been saved outright by the
use of the brick track road. The
length of the roads built could have
been greatly increased for the money
spent, and prabably about four times
the load could have been hauled with
the same power, and with much less
wear on the wagons, and much less
damage otheir contents. Besides these
brick tracks would require much less
for repairs"
The brick track road is worthy of
the attention of the Iowa farmer,
whose road making is always difficult
and costly and has been largely with
out permanent results. Even in To-
calities where stone is plentiful and
cheap the brick road seems to have
the advantage in cheapness and wear
ing qualities over the macadam.

Crop Bulletin.

For week ending July 81, 1903.
In the larger part of the state ideal
weather conditions prevailed for har-
vesting hay and grain, and fine pro-
gress has been made during the week.
The greater part of very heavy hay
crop of fine quality has been secured
and most of it without damage by
rainfall. In the southern districts the
harvest is practically completed and
threshing is in progress. In the
northern districts the work is well
advanced, with varying reports as to
the bulk and quality of the small
grain crops. The corn crop has made
substantial gains in all districts,
though in many localities in the south
ern and eastern counties copious
showers would be beneficial, as the
more advanced portion has reached
the caring stage.
On the afternoon of the 10Th series
of very heavy hailstorms swept across
the state on direct line from Lyon
and osceola to Taylor and Ringgold
counties, causing great destruction to
crops in their pathway, which in some
portions was six miles in width. This
visitation was the chief drawback in
one of the best weeks of the season.
While the loss falls heavily upon two
or three thousand farms, yet the ag-
gregate of total destruction involves a
small percentage of the products OF
the state.
The minor crops are doing fairly

piled with early apples and garden

1t is up to Illinois now to do her
duty in checking the mob spirit that
has broken out in her borders. The
mob is infinitely more dangerous to
our country than is the negro. The
execution OF criminal by a mob is
anarchy. 1t belongs to frontier settle
ments, or to places where civil govern
ment has not as yet been well estab-
lished. The trial, conviction and ex-
ecution for murder of few of the
leaders of mobs in Illinois would have
wholesome affect for good
government there. AS between mob
rule and judicial trial no good citizen
can have but one choice. Anarchy is
onething, good government another.
The idea the people rule in this coun-
try must be understood to mean that
they rule through the due forms of
justice and order, and not by and
through the mob.
