RICE BIRDS IN PLENTY.

Fields Along the River Are Already
Inhabited by the Succulent Butter
Balls.
The succulent rice bird has already
Inhabited the fields in the vicinity of
Savannah in great numbers and the
crack of the hunters gun is being
heard. The birds are hardly in good
condition for the table yet. They have
not fed long enough to assume that
plumpness that has caused them to be
called butter balls"
Capt. w. ]. Thompson says that he
has seen an unusually large number of
the birds considering that it is early
in the season for them yet.

tional questions involved may be dis
posed Of as speedily as possible.
Congress now has at least two plans
of highest authorship for the regula-
tion and control Of federal capital. Mr..
Hoar stands at the head of the mem
bership of congress as student of
constitutional law. He has had wide
experience in statesmanship, and is
moreover essentially conservative. No
man of his years in the country has
ever enjoyed a larger practice in cor
porate law that Attorney General
Knox, He is easily one of the ablest
lawyers in the country. With these
two men as guides congress cannot go
far astray in preparing legislation on
this vital question. The prospects are
good that the country win have the
necessary relief at the hands of pres
ent congress.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

Talking about rural schools being
no account and Intellectual and all that
sort of thing, why it is absurd" in the
opinion of the Washington, Ia, Demo
crat. The Democrat takes an inven-
tory Of Washingtons citizens and finds
that "every lawyer in town is pro-
duct of the country school. The coun-
ty officers are all country bred, and
the clerk, the recorder, and the out
going auditor and the sheriff and the
superintendent, all served time as
country school teachers" The Demo
crat contends that "the boy who gets
his start in the country school is lap
ahead at the beginning OF the game.
He gets more character and snap in
stalled in his mind and in his makeup.
Nine times out of ten it is the boy who
gets his start in the country school
who wins out in the end. There are a
good many things to learn besides
books. The country boy learns self
reliance, independence, and he learns
how to work, which elements are more
important than all the flubdubbery
that is acquired in many of the city
schools. The country school boy has
three or four books that he learns. He
knows them. He has mile or two to
walk to school and three months that
he may go. He appreciates what op
portunities he has and he makes the
most of them"

LOST HIS ALL.
James Brown Thrown Out of House
and Home BY Fire.


An alarm Of fire early Friday even
ing took the fire department to the
residence of James Brown, a colored
man on South G street between the
B. & w. and the Rock Island tracks
and just west of the b. & w. stock
yards.
The little home was completely
wrecked and all of the goods and chat
tells of the old man were ruined. He
had eaten his supper and fixed his fire
preparatory to going up town to care
for a couple of furnaces that he is
tending. He stepped into the house
of neighbor for a moments talk and
in going to the door he saw his little
home on fire the entire interior of the
"living room" being ablaze. The
house was a small shelter and was
ablaze in all parts before The alarm
could be sounded and the fire COM
pany could attend. How the fire
caught is a mystery. The hose had to
be brought from D street hydrant.
Water was thrown in a very short time
after the alarm was turned in, but tie
little home was practically destroyed.
The house was the property of N. s.
Stine No insurance upon either house
or contents.

-oskaloosa will certainly have a
hospital in the near future if the zeal
and the devotion to the cause dis
played by the ladies at the head Of the
movement are to count for anything.
Mrs. Ida Hurst advertised in the Daily
Herald for watch which she had lost.
A.reward was offered for the recovery
OF the property. 1t fell to the lot Of
Mrs. F. d. Reid to find the watch, and
the reward was accepted and paid by
Mrs. Reid into the hospital fund. 1t
is such devotion .as the above that
does much toward furthering the pos
sibilities of an early realization of the
desired object.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said tnan done, yet It
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is sonething
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, if within your control you have
only to act. When you have a cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and use it judic-ously and all
cause for worry as to the outcome
will quickly disappear. There is no
danger of pneumonia when it is used.

KNOX ON TRUSTS.

Attorney General Knox recently
wrote a letter on the all-observing
question of the trusts, which admit
tedly represents the general attitude
of the administration on the subject.
In his suggestions as to remedies the
attorney general goes even farther
than does Mr.. Hoar in his bill. In
brief, Mr.. Knox advocates:
l. That all acts of discrimination
affecting interstate trade be made of
fences and be punished.
2. Railroads and other common car
riers Should be prohibited carrying
freight for anyone at less than the
published rate.
3. Shippers who accept rebates
should be punished as well as the car
riers who pay them.
A. The law should reach concerns
which produce or manufacture wholly
within state but sell in other states,
first by punishing them for accepting
transportation rebates, and second,
for selling below the general price in
particular localities for the purpose of
destroying competition. The sugges-
tion being that commodities intended
for this purpose be prohibited crossing
state lines.
5. That commission be appointed
to Investigate the facts relating trust
abuses and to make recommendations
to congress.
6. That legislation should be had
to facilitate decision of cases now rails.
ed or that may be instituted under the
existing antitrust law by enabling the
attorney general to have original cases
heard before a full circuit bench, with
immediate appeal to the United States

to cultivate the habit of thrift by saw
ing the pennies as well as the dollars.
Too many people do not think it worth
while to save the dimes and quarters;
their idea of saving is limited to dol
lars, and multiples thereof. And thus

away for needless expenditures"
