Those who attended the Crane lee

airy treat. Professor William l. Crane,
of Marshalltown. allho new to this
state. is fast making for himself an en-
viable name as litterateur and
lecturer on subjects which pertain to
literary studies. Il. his discourse on
Poe's Raven he was both entertaining
and instructive. He was frank in his
statement that while he had made a
careful study of Poe and admired the
eccentric genius of the man, he had
little love for him. He quoted two
poems of James Whitcomb Riley to
show the difference, in the hearts of the
two poets. Riley, f,ll to the brim of
human kindness and Poe absolutely
selfish. The life OF the latter, altho
wretchedly pathetic. does not command
respect Professor Crane closed with
touching poem ty j. g. Whittier
which was in distinct contrast In Its
great heartedness to the morbid self
centeredness of Til. Raven. 1t was
most unfortunate That so many people
missed this treat"

Webster City, Feb. 1.-THE Christ
ian church of this city has adopted a
novel scheme to aid in wiping out it's
old church debt. The scheme is a cou-
pom method and one that should bring
good results.
The church has secured eighteen
firms IN the city who will give coupons
with all purchases made by members
of the church or their friends. These
coupons are good for from 9 to 10 per
cent of the purchase money and, after
having been turned over to the church,
will be redeemed by the firms who
gave them In this manner the MEM
bers of the church will concentrate
thei- trade, pay no more for their goods
and yet will contribute certain per
cent to the church on every purchase.
The church will profit in this way
while the merchants will get the hene-
fit of the church trade. The scheme
is new one as applied to churches
but because of it's novelty and the 10y
atty Of the church members 1t BIDS
fair to be a most successful venture.
The church hopes in this manner TO
get much financial aid toward the set
Ting of its debt.
Rev. Burns has issued neat card
bearing the names of those merchants
who will give the coupons.

BUTTON MERGER SUSPECTED.
Still Believed That Eastern Iowa Fac

Davenport. Feb. Histories OF q
combine in the button factories of this
section have been revived. While the
local manufacturers OF the pearl disks
disclaim any knowledge of the matter
the Muscatine papers are telling story
OF combination that will take in every
thing along the river The Muscatine
Journal says:
"A combination OF all the button
factories in Muscatine and surround
ing country, so 1t is rumored, Will be
formed. The story is that eastern
capital is behind the deal and that ne.
gotiations have been going on for some
time, but owing to the unwillingness
of some of the manufacturers q trust
has not yet been formed.
Several months ago Muscatine was
visited by a Chicago attorney. and an
eastern capitalist, who remained here
for several days, but what was done
has never been given to the public.
But it is alleged and from good au-
thority, that the unwillingness of j.
L. Giesler and d. S. Mcdonald to go
into it was one reason why it did not
go thru. 1t Is also stated that the
price asked for the different factories
was more than the promoters cared
to pay. From that time until short
time ago. little has been heard of the
merger, but it is said there has been
something doing all the time. It is
not known just how far the plan has
gone. but 1t is alleged that Mr.. Nc
Dermid no longer opposes the deal.
1T appears that the original plan
was to buy up all the button factories
along the river in this part of the
country, and transfer the machinery
to one immense plant that was to be
built in perhaps the town Offering the
greater advantages. 1t is not thought,
however that the same plan Is still
in existence, but rather modified
slightly. as the opinion of some is that
the important factories will be MAIN
tanned and operated SO long as pro-
fitabla"
