Exchanged Information.

In order to protect themselves and
their boats. the pilots association
was organized and Il unique plan
formed for the guidance of members
of the organization. Pilots on the up
going boats made notations of each

culated to be Of valuable infOrma ton
to the down going pilot. Whenever Il
boat was met with going down the
river, and the pilot was a member of
the association, the two pilots eX-
changed information as to the sec
ton of stream through which they
had just passed, thus keeping to
themselves a system of river knowl-
edge which made them wizards of the
river. In addition to this important
feature of the association there were
Others of perhaps as much value in
the way Of insurance and benefit
funds, making the association fac
tor among boat owners which could
not be dispensed with. An owner
would not trust his steamer with any
ether than a member cf the pilots as
ISOLATION. because of the danger from
river distractions. and thus the pow
.er was established. But few members
remain Of the original association.

A GnnIl Name.

From personal experience l testify
that DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
unequaled as a liver pill. They are
rightly named because they give
strength and energy and do their
work with ease.-W. T. Easton, Boerne,
Texas. Thousands of people are using
these tiny little pills in preference to
all others. because they are so pleas
ant and effectual. They cure bilious
ness, torpid liver, iaundice. sick head
ache, constipation, etc. They do not
purge and weaken. but cleanse and
strengthen. Sold by all druggists.

MOVE TO DISBAND
Upper Mississippi Pilots Asso-
citation to Close Up
Its Affairs.
DAYS OF USEFULNESS OVER
Passing of Organization That Once
Was a Power on the River
RegreItt d.

Within the next 80 days a meeting
will be called of the upper Mississippi
river pilots to be held for the pur-
pose of disbanding the organization.
The event is one which viii not be
hailed with pleasure by those remain
ing of the original association. The
organization was at enc time the
strongest of its kind on the entire
river and its members we're the only
ones who had clear conception of
the river. Capt. Joseph Buisson, pres
ident Of the association, and Master
John Day, secretary and treasurer,
are now both aboard boat below Bur
lington, but will both be present at
the Winona meeting and assist in the
disbanding. There is d considerable
amount Of money in the treasury.
which it is thought will be placed in
a fund to be used for the support and
assistance of aged pilots and their
widows and families.
The reason given for the disband
ing of the association is that the raft
ing and general boating has declined
to such Il degree that the original pur
pose of the association has been lost,
and therefore there is no further bus
mess to be transacted by the organ
ization.

Bring us your old disc records that
you have grown tired of feither Co

change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 30 cents for your 10-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
The new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
a decided Advancement in the art of

sweet tone, and owing to the manner
in which they are made they have a
less scratching tone; the needle seems
to run smoother on the record. We
also wish TO introduce to your notice

which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand

the market. Call at our warerooms
and get our plan of exchange. We

\ Power In Early Days.

An one time the association had Il
most powerful influence on the traffic
of the river and the annual conven-
tons were hailed with delight along
the river, where everything was given
over to day of enjoyment when the
meetings were held. \ number of
conventions have been held in this To-
cality. and memories of these meet
ings are recalled with delight by
pilots who make this city their home
Several of the members of the assoc
citation still reside here, who will go
to the meeting and take part in the
movement which will remove from
the river one of the strongest factors
that has ever been known.
One of the original intentions of
the association was for the better
protection and for the guidance of the
river pilots The rapidly changing
course Cf the stream rendered it eN-
tremely doubtful whether boat
could fellow the same course in going
up the river that it did i'm coming
down. Old pilots tell with gIee of
farmers who have purchased proper
tY in Iowa and the next morning
found themselves residents of Illinois.
While this. perhaps, is an eNaggera
ton. there are numberless instances
of changing sandhars, snags. new cur
rents and other unlocked for obstruc-
tionS which were the bane of the
pilots existence.

S SPORTING

The work of recognizing the
Western league has already com
menced and President Sexton is
at work getting the reorgani-
cation plans under way for next
year. Fhe work of canvassing for
funds for the new club in Lincoln,
Neb., has commenced, from which it
is to be Inferred that they are going
to get after the matter as soon as
possible. What will be the effect up
on the other towns in the circuit IS
not at this time known. The proba-
bic settlement of the question will
doubtless be that Peoria and Aiilwau-
kee will be let out of the circuit and
Lincoln and Sioux City, or some other
town centrally located in the west
will be added.

The Buckwheat Crop.

About this season of the year
The expert statisticians
Do lively stunts in figuring
Upon the crop conditions.
They get reports from all the farms
To find the proper bearing,
And these with crops Of other years
They're faithfully comparing.
They've brought their labors up to date,
And figures they are showing
Tell plainly what conditions are
Where standard crops are growing.
The average of each is shown
In figures tabulated,
And what the harvests will reveal
With care Is estimated
We notice that the average
OF corn is somewhat lower
And that the wheat this year has been
A rather backward grower.
The oats crop also lags behind,
And there is much regretting
Because our old time share of fruits
This year we'll not be getting.
AS through the figures We proceed
And note the calculations
We learn that many crops are not
Up to our expectations.
But there is joy, and brightest smiles
Our faces are illuming
When to the buckwheat crop we come
And find that il Is booming.
So while some bad spots here and there
Are in reports appearing
With one accord we gladly turn
To prospect that is cheering.
For though the other crops may drop
In points from ten to twenty,
Well never care on frosty days
When buckwheat cakes are plenty.
