BIG CROWD OUT.
Many People Hear a Fine Band Con-
cert Saturday Night.

The band concert Saturday evening
attracted one of the largest crowds IT
people ever seen on the streets of the
city on a Saturday evening. The con-
gestion about the park was at times
impossible. One not moving along
at the leisurely pace Of the crowd
could not get through. Many vehicles
were out and the street cars did big
business at the close Of the concert.
The concert was exceptionally good
and a splendid program was present
ed by the organization, which was
generally appreciated. The program
was as follows:
The New White House March,. 5.

-Sigourney recently INDUCED in a
street carnival and the Keokuk Coun-
ty News looks upon it as a mixed vir-
tue. Continuing the News says:
''The carnival people who were in
Sigourney week before last were in
Abba last week and did as much bust
ness there all week as they did here
in one day. Abba merchants did not
give them a cent as a bonus, neither
did Fairfield. They are in Charlton
this week and the merchants of that
town did not give them anything.
Sigourney merchants gave them $3.50
for coming here. Now the question
is, were our merchants worked ?
Again Abba merchants received TWEEN
ty per cent of all the money the car
nival people received as admissions.
In Sigourney they only received five
per cent"

THE DOWN TOWN GIRL.

Atchison Globe: The average girl
who works down town marries well,
and makes helpful wife. The man
she marries has not wasted his money
in society, but has saved it, and buys
and furnishes house for his bride
and she takes pride in keeping it up.
At their wedding she usually insists
upon wearing a white dress and tulle
bridal veil, but she pays for it herself,
and, after the wedding. puts it careful
ly away, and, in calico dress and
apron, starts right into housekeeping.
She and her husband nave little

Prof. W. B. Bailey. of Yal

Prof w. B. Bailey, of Yale uni
versity, has been investigating the
causes and circumstances of suicides
in the United States and finds that
where the percentage of educated
persons is highest the proportion OF
suicides is greatest. Suicides are al
so much more frequent in New Eng
land than in the southern states. AS
to the general cause of increase Pro
lessor Bailey says that the country
has been exceptionally prosperous, so
that suicidal mania cannot be attrib-
uted to that, except in this way, that
where there is general high education
of the people there is mental worry
and life is faster, the work is harder
for men to get to the top, the nervous
tension greater, and that may intensi-
fly the tendency toward suicide.

The Colored National Emigration

The Colored National Emigration
and Commercial association, in ses-
sion at Montgomery, Alabama, adopt
ed a resolution favoring the charter
ing of ships during the year 1904 for
carrying colonies of negroes to the re-
public of Liberia. A petition to the
president and the congress of the
United States was read and adopted
citing wrongs from which the race
suffers, and begging an appropriation
of $100,000,000 to transport negroes to
Liberia. The petition, it was explain
ed, does not mean that this shall be a
wholesale deportation or compulsory
on any one to emigrate.

The democrats OF Iowa have NOM
mated a free silver man for governor
on a platform that repudiates his
principles. 1t is queer condition Of
affairs and it now remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Sullivan will compromise
with the platform, or whether a
screen WIN be set around it and only
as little as possible be said about po"
litical issues and party principles.
The two wings Of the party are as far
apart as ever and unless the efferVes-
cent discord can be kept corked,
there will be the usual number OF ex-
plosions and evictions during the
campaign.

Fairfield has just raised bonus
of $4,000 to secure the location of a

with a capital of $5O.OSo and a guar
antee to give employment to from so
to $50 men. 1t took a long pull and
a strong pull to secure these subserip-

and the expenditure OF at least $780,
600 in street Improvements, but such
enterprise is what makes a town and
as the Ledger observes, "the fruits of

property in the territory tributary to
a progressive and active town" All
