PAwPAW is DISAPPEARING.
Luscious Fruit Passing Away with
the 'Possum.

Soon nothing will remain from the
good old times. A Missouri writer Is la
menting the gradual disappearance of
the pawpaw. 1.-The persimmon is left
he says, Though 1t Is becoming scarcer
with each succeeding year. There are
'possums yet to be found, and quail
may be seen in smaller flocks than for
merly. The typical fruit of Missouri,
the luscious pawpaw, is fast disappear
ing, along with the red Indian and the
buffalo. There are some paWpaW
bushes in obscure places, where the
rude hand of the iconoclast has not
reached, and there are some cultivated
pawpaws to be found in gardens here
and there. But, speaking generally,
the Missouri pawpaw is becoming a
thing of yesterday.
LAS a State, we have gone from the
pawpaw to the banana stage. We buy
our fruit at street stands instead of
wandering out in the wild wood in the
fall time and finding it. We have
reached the breakfast food stage Of
civilization. We eat soft stuff with Il
spoon, instead of scrambling over the
hills and through the briars in search
of the forest fruits. What will become
of generation thus brought up, in
stead of one fed upon persimmons and
pawpaws? We fear 1t will lack iron
| in its blood, strength in its muscles and
the ability to stand up alone underneath
the blue sky. The pawpaw and the
persimmon period passing takes with
1t the days of the pioneer who worked
long hours and played hard, who knew
nature and man. The banana age brings
in leisure hours and flabby morals and
soft silken ways. Alas, that the paw
paw should perish from the earth"

"Watered Stock"

The expression "watered stock"
which describes so well the expansion
of the stock of a company beyond the
value of the property, originated, it Is
said, in connection with Daniel Drew,
who was once the wealthiest manipu-
lator in Wall street. Drew had been a
drover in his younger days, and it was
said of him that before selling his cattle
in the market he would first give them
large quantities of salt TO make them
thirsty, and then provide them with all
the water they could drink. In this way
their weight was greatly increased, and
the purchaser was buying 'watered
stock. "-Leslie's Weekly.

such, the daintiest of chiffons, laces and
grenadines will prove attractive. Then
there is a large field to choose from in
what are called fancy imported silks.
Many of these are heavy in appearance,
looking almost like upholstery silks, but
their lightness is surprising. Many have
very large figures, some of them almost
coarse, but they make up prettily and

Some new wool goods, fancy voles and

they are like heavy homespun weaves

they are so light as to be almost trans

Total Graduate

Tables of this sort are interesting in
themselves as showing the wonderful
numerical growth of institutions, ana
they are very instructive when the
ratios of total number of students to
total number of faculties or to total
number of graduate students are work
ed out. Their diversities of purpose
and organization are obvious at
glance, and this is very hopeful
sign. 1t is very we'll to insist on uni
formity in entrance requirements, but
1t is to be ardently desired that the

The placing onf "Ben Hur" on the
stage in dramatic form was attended
with many interesting circumstances.
General Wallace had strenuously op-
posed any dramatizetion of his i'm
mortal work. MANY attempts were
made to secure his permission, but it
was not until Klaw and Erlanger had
had an interview that he consented
even to consider the matter. They
We're able to convince the author that
the chariot race, the galley scene and
the representation of the Star of Beth
lehem could be put ON the stage when
the question of personation of the
Messiah was considered The book
of ben Hur" is interviewer with the
life locale and incidents of the Mes
s;ah. No dramatization which did
not contain the tremendous domiDat-
ing influence of Him could be faith
full stage portrayal of the work. Klaw
and Erlanger submitted a method of
procedure whereby the presence of the
Nazarene should not be seen, but
merely indicated by n mysterious and
almost supernatural white light of
wondrous brilliancy and power. This
solution removed all the authors OBJ
jectiops, and Klaw and Erlanger were
authorized to have proper drama
tization Of the book prepared. The
question Of repI Iesentation Of the
Crucifixion. which is so powerfully
described in General Wallace's novel,
did not arise. as KIaw and Erlanger,
as well as the author, held that this
point of the book should not be made
a part Of the play, nor indeed part
of any play Having obtained Cen
eral Wallace's full consent, Klaw and
Erlanger engaged William Young to
dramatize the book and he has writ
ten a play which has been seen by
more people than any ever produced.

TO HAVE A BRANCH
STORE AT STERLING
Mos ,nfeIder & KOhn of This City
to Make Notable EX-
pansiOn-

An evidence of gratifying growth
on the part of a Rock Island firm is
seen in the preparations of Mosen-
felder-& Kohn to-opep handsome
new branch store at Sterling,
ILL.,. in the near future. The
new establishment. which will be run
under the popular name of m. q X"
will be opened in new modern store
building now being built especially for
their use. 1t will have frontage of ~
feet and Il depth of 80 feet and will
be provided with every modern i'm
provement. 1t will be run. it is need
less to add, upon the correct business
principles that have made the firm so
successful in this city. Mr. Mosen-
fielder will leave for the east i'm Il
week to buy new stock for the new
store as well as for the store in this
city
The story of the growth of the NJ.
d h. establishment makes interest
ing reading. Eli Moscnfelder. the sen
Tor member of the firm, began life as
a printer. being employed for seven
years as compositor on The Argus.
Leaving the printing business he was
employed for three years as salesman
in a clothing store. Louis Kohn. the
junior member, learned the trade of
ieweler and later was engaged as
bookkeeper for the clothing firm of
Kohn g. Adler.
In 1884 Messrs. Mosenfelder & Kohn
united their resources. and embarked
in the clothing and furnishing bust
ness, locating in the store building
now occupied by Passig Bros, the
grocers. Their success was immedi-
ate and from an humble beginning
they expanded gradually but surely
till they came to be classed among
the leading clothiers of the three cit
les. Some years ago they included a
line of shoes in connection with their
clothing and furnishing business. and
in this they have also attained marked
success. The new store at Sterling
will deal in clothing and furnishings
exclusively and will fill need here
tofore unsuppled in that flourishing
city. Sterling has population of
5000 and with another 1000 i'm Rock
Falls, which adioins it, and live ag-
ricultural community all about both
the field is indeed very promising
one. Sterling is to be congratulated
upon this acquisition. as NJ & X. are
modern. up-tO-date merchants, ever
alert to the interests of their pat
rons as well as the city with which
they are identified.

Daniel Drost was placed on the
stand this afternoon in the Schnell
conspiracy case, the motion as to his
being overruled by

considered very damaging to the de-
Tense and has been objected to siren

Drost testified that he and Mrs. Nc
Dermott received $4,000 from Schnell
in the first place when the marriage
took place and that shortly after
ward he advised his wife to go to
Omaha. When she had gone he stated
that he had received $4,000 on a note,
went to Davenport and spent the en-
tire sum in two weeks.
He then went to Omaha and while
there his wife got hold of a paper he
had in satchcl and found out that
his name was not Chandler. She con-
fronted him with the evidence and
asked If he was not Drost. There was
trouble and he went out on a drunk.

soon and they were again married
