IRVING IN DOUBLE BILL.

A pebbie was dropped unoonsciously
on the serene surface Of Sir Henry
Irvins,s artistic efforts In the thrilling
production Of THE Bells" last night.
A bibulous character was relating the
tragic events OF tho murder OF the
Polish Jew. and quoting from the jews
greeting In entering the Burgomaster's
Inn he remarked with serious emphasis
Peace to thee" There was q slight
ripple Of mirth that steadily swelled 20
a loud guffaw that for fully three
minutes d~emoralized the audience.
But this ripple did not tend to destroy
the appreciation Of Sir Henrys splendid
work In THE Bells" In fact, the
audience rose 10 him with such enthus-
.iasm that the actor was forced 10 make
one of his dramatically fncoherent
speeches in which he expressed his deep
gratitude for the splendid signal of ap-
probation he had received.
Sir Henry also gave his splendid por-
trait OF the veteran of Waterloo"

HOW ONE MAN SUCCEEDED.

Joe Trigg, who writes the three col
umns of farm comments in the Rock
ford, Ia, Register, tells an instruC-
tive story OF how IN young farmer in
northern Iowa has succeeded. Ten
years age, as a poor young farmer, he
took a load of hogs to town, which he
sold for $94.35. With this money he
paid the collector the taxes on his
farm he was trying to own, paid the
grocery a long due grocery bill, called
at the bank and paid for an extension
on half a dozen notes, paid an attOr-
ney $50 on a owe note sent on for
collection and went home with $3.50
in mis- pocket.
That night, says the editor of the
Register, the grocer paid his clerk
and his delivery boy their wages. out
of the money left by the young farm
er. The boy spent his money at the
skating rink and the clerk spent his
money for present for his best girl.
The lawyer took his commission
which amounted to about So and at,
tended a church fair, and the tax col
lector bought a fresh Havana cigar.
But the young farmer went home and
with his wife -e poured owe figures,
trying to see how to pay the next
batch of interest on the mortgage on
the farm. The young farmer and his
wife somehow managed to meet al
their payments and they have the
farm, much enlarged and stocked
with the best cattle and hogs in the
state. When they go to town they &C

WATER" AND GOOD WILL.

One of the able instructors at the
university of Chicago has created a
stir by defending the practice of
watering securities on the ground
that this practice is but "capitalizing
good will
But good will and water" seldom
go together. One is opposed to the
other. Good will. undeniably an i'm
pOrtan, asset in business, is the re-
suit of giving value received to the
public. This policy, whether followed
by dry goods store or traction com
pany. gives margin for no considerable
percentage of water" There are ex-
ceptions. OF course, to all rules. but as
a general proposition. ii can be said
that "watered securities" are based not
on good will, but on some sort of a
monopoly-a monopoly through fran
chises, patent rights, or control of
natural resources.
Take the local traction stocks. for in
stance. Car the water be explained
on the score Of good will? Were
ChiCagoans ever accused of cherish
ing good will for the traction compa-
MES? No; the water stands for the
franchise rights which gave a monop-
oily to the existing companies. Again.
the watered securities of the Standard
Oil company, the corporation which
made the university of Chicago
what it is today, represents
monopoly-not good will. Where
there is monopoly seldom is there
good will, The more a company
waters its securities the less
popular, as a rule, does that company
become with the public, because the
added securities are made possible
only by a monopoly which enables the
corporation to exact more than legiti-
mate profits. Water" starts at the
line where honest earnings cease.
Go through the whole list of cor
porations and you will find that those
companies which are not ~intrenched
back of ~mOnopolies have little or no
water in their stocks. The absence
of monopoly makes competition posi-.

LIVE PIGEONS IN DEMAND.

The demand for live pigeons fol
shooting tournaments a caused a..
advance in the price of the birds in
Sioux City. The manager for a
Wholesale poultry house said yester-
day that there did not seem to be the
usual supply of the birds this spring.
II would not want to say there is
a scarcity of pigeons in the country
he said, because ! do not know that
this is true, but there seem to be few
er of the birds coming to market
than usual. There have been times
here when we hardled as high as
500 and 600 birds a day for several
weeks. but we are not doing it now.
we always handle hem alive at
this time. because the demand is for
live birds almost altogether. Millions
of pigeons are bought to be slaughter
ed over the traps every spring in this
country, and it always stimulates the
price somewhat.
We are paying now 81 per dozen
for old birds. which is ar advance
of % cents within a week. The price
will remain high for at least a couple
of months. In the winter time we
handle all of the pigeons dressed,
shipping the most OF them to New
York. Now we ship none dressed.

GAMBLING DEBTS INVALID.

Judge Oliver made a ruling in the
district court that notes given in set
Element OF a gambling debt were not
valid under the laws of Iowa.
The ruling was made in the case of
the First National bank of Sioux City
against Charles Spengler. The latter
had executed two notes aggregating
$500, to the OTTO bank in settlement
of his portion of a loss which had
been sustained in grain speculations
on the Chicago board of trade, Speng-
Ter, Cutting & Willett. pr%oprietors of
the defunct bank, having jointly en-
gagged in some board of trade deals
and sustained losses. Spengler gave
notes to make his loss good to- the
bark and the bank sold these notes
to the First National bank at a dis
count. After the OTTO bank failed and
got into the bankruptcy courts the
First National bank sued for collec-
ton of its notes. Spengler, by his
attorney, w. G. Sears, set up as a de-
tense that the rotes were executed
to settle a gambling debt and hence
were illegal. The bank demurred to
this and the court o%verruled the de-
murrer, permitting the defense of
fered TO stand if it can be substanti-
ated by the evidence.
Under the ruling of the court it is
possible the bank will rot be able to
recover upon its notes.-SiouX City
