No names will be called. One
Of these towns existed before the
railroads came. 1t was the seat
Of government for its county. II
had many natural advantages ovel
the other town, in the way Oh
water power, variety Of resources
age, capital, etc.
The second city sprung into ex'
lstence on bald prairie at the
junction of two railroads one OF
which branched from there INTO
the golden west. This town had
nothing on which to base its
hopes for n glorious future except
the pluck and energy Of its found
ers. There were no streams to
afford motor power nor even
water for drinking purposes.
There were no closely adjacent
forests from which TO- obtain fuel.
There were no hopes for maaufac-
lures. Its future lay in the cul-
tivation of the thousands of broad
"black waxy" acres surrounding
it.
Now, city number one, be it re-
membered, had, besides those
things previously enumerated,
equally as good farming lands in
close environment as city number
two. But its people said &C
will not amount to much, 1t can
not. 1t has nothing on which to
thrive" This was fifteen years
ago, and more.
Today the conditions in those
towns are reversed, City No /
remains the county seat but No.
= is the metropolis. City No. 2
has more than 10000 inhabitants
while its sister is below the 5000
mark. City No 9 is noted for it's
industry, its thrift, and its vol
ume Of business. It's people have
found means of obtaining water
even though it is pumped from
the nearest stream 8 miles dis
tant. 1t has few artesian wells
but their capacity is small.
The secret of its wonderful
growth can be told easily and
quickly:
CD It's business mon were
united on all questions of public
policy.
(2) Its people had vim, cour-
age, stick-to-t-Iveness and hope.
(b) They went after everything

POTOMAC RIVER FISH

by Washington Anglers to Pre-
vent Pollution of Waters.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 2.-The anglers Of
the national capital are up in arms
agains: the mysterious death that has been
overtaking thousands OF bass and other
fish of late. All sorts Of conjectures have
been advanced as to the unusla mortali-
ty among the various timers. when II has
been impossible for the most enthusiastic
angler to get even a strike" after pa
tiently waiting for hours in localities
where Of yOre 1t was the exception II n
real fisherman went away e~mpty-handed.
An Investigation has been quietly con-
the harbor squad, which has resulted In
craving and Printing. This investigation
has proved to the satisfaction OF those
who have conducted it that the discharge
of ink and other acids through the public
sewer is the cause of the destruction Of
the fish,
Accordingly, Treasury Department Off
Gals Will Tomorrow receive a request to

bureau from thus polluting the waters of
the old Potomac.
Unless the Harbor Master and his crew
are mistaken in their deductions regarding
the cause OF death among the fish, those
enthusiasts of the rod who nave 50 often
been disappointed during the current sea-
son will have good ground for rejoicing
and may succeed in landing enough bass
to convince their friends that the art has
not been entirely forgotten.

LIKE THE AMERICAN DIET.
Even the Pygmies FOrswear Can.
nibal Feasts. Preferring the
Menu Provided by the EX-
position Management.

The cannibals and the dog eaters of the
Worlds Fair have reformed.
Coming to the Exposition has worked a
reformation In the habits and appetites Of
the dog-eating Igorrotes and the cannibal-
istic pygmies.
No longer is the cry for dog heard on
rotes are content with an American beef
diet. O~tenbang. the little cannibal of the
pygmy tribe. has grown refined in his APP
petite. and even among his own people in
the jungle, where dog stew was considered
q tempting dish. the reformed Otenbang
now waves It aside with disgust. He has
acquired the tastes OF the American In
dian. his neighbor at the Worlds Fair
grounds. and considers his menu of good,
wholesome beef and vegetables a welcome
substitute for the jungle diet.
Not even a fat fox terrier, which was
presented to Otenbang by Governor Hunt
of the Igorrotes when the former paid his
first call last week to the Filipino reserva-
ton, proved tempting enough to return to
his former diet.
The little white dog is the pet of the
pygmy camp, and rivals in the affections
Of the little black men from the jungles
With their parrots and monkey.
Otenbans. through the interpreter. kon-
dola. yesterday explained that the reason
at first for his reform was the fact
that he had no one TO share his dog with
him. as the other members OF the pygm
party refused to partake of the proposed
feast Of dog. 'Thi was the reason the
little dog was permitted to live" said
Otenbang. and then. after two days, we
became so fond of him / decided it would
be a pity to kill him.. and l shall take him
home with me to Africa. Besides. / like
the American food better"
1t was said that the reason the Isorrotes
had abandoned the dog-eating habit was
because Of action taken by the HUMANE
Society to prevent the habit. But the lit
tie 1gorrotes vigorously deny that a ban
was placed on their dog feasts by any out
slider. They say they no longer care for
dog so long as their present diet of rice
and beef prevails as the official bill of
fare.
II is said that the recent visit OF Col
cnel Ciaren,e X. Edwards. Chief of the
Bureau of InsClar Affairs. to the Filipino
camp is respor sible for the change. mas
much as he has made the daily menu fur
nished the Igorrotes SO attractive as to
discourage the dog-eating habit.
AS a result of the change, the dog mar
ket has slumped so badly that the old
men who made 1t 4 business to provide
dogs for the little savages nave been
compelled. on account of the decreased
demand, to look for business, as
the prices are so low now that they could
not afford to even pay car fare to the Ex-
position grounds.
