Webster and Jenny Lind


The following quaint story Of Daniel
Webster and Jenny Lind is told in
Washington, the Capital City"
1t CHANGED that on the day of Jenny
Lind's appearance several members of
the cabinet and senate were the guests
at dinner of the Russian minister, and
the concert was half over when Web
ster and tie other members of the par.
ty entered the hall. When the ap-
plause with which they were received
had subsidized the second part of the
concert was opened by the gifted
Swede with Hail, Columbian
Deeply moved by the patriotic air,
Webster at the close Of the first verse
rose and added his rich, sonorous voice
to the chorus. His wife, who sat be-
hind him, pulled at his coat tail to
make him stop singing, but at the
close OF each verse the volunteer basso
joined in. and none could tell whether
Lind, Webster or the audience was
most delighted
AS the last notes of the song died
away Webster, hat in hand, made a
profound bow to the singer. Jenny

while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster. not to be outdone in
politeness, bowed again. Again Lind

The use Of the word mess for dining
room is remnant of a custom quite
common in Anglo-Norman times. Mess,
from the French NETS (meat or a dish
of food and the Latin mensa "a table,,
was the meat prepared in common
Compare the collegiate word "com-
mons'') for four persons sitting at a
separate table. Guests at dinners and
other ceremonial occasions were divid-
ed for general convenience into such
groups.
From this the word came to be used
as equivalent to four in other matters
Shakespeare speaks of Henrys four
sons as a mess, Where are your mess
Of sons?' and in Loves Labor's Lost
we find, 81 confess that you three fools
lacked me to make up the mess"
From the fact that soldiers and sail
ors are always catered for in compa-
MES, according to rank, the survival Of
the word among them is quite natural.
The same practice is still maintained in
the London inns Of court.

The value of lemons in the treatment
Of both rheumatism and consumption is
now known to be very great The treat
ment is to begin with one or two a day
and gradually increase the number. In
one case OF rheumatism twenty-five
lemons day were the dose for a time.
AS a preventive of illness, however, a
half lemon day is all that should
be taken-that is, il taken every day
year in and year out. A half lemon

fore breakfast without any sugar. will

ar than is good for you take lemon and

Alfred B Sheppsrson, a cotton sta
tistisian of some note, tells the cotton
planters that the yield for 1903 was
above 10. 000,c bales instead of be-
low that mark, as the department of
agriculture estimated. He also tells
them that the advance in prices has

ANNUAL INSPECTION.
Officials of the Iowa Central Go Over
Entire Line.

President Edwin Hawley, of the
Iowa Central and M. &c st. L., F. H.
Davis, treasurer of both companies,
L. F. Day, vice president and general
manager, Chief Engineer H. G. Kel-
ley, and General Solicitor George w.
Sewers have just completed the an
nual inspection of all the lines of the
company.
General Manager Day said that
they had found things looking well
over the entire line of the Central.
"The crops are looking fine in Illinois
and they are also in an excellent con-
dition up this way. From all that
we can learn from conversation with
people along the line, and from obser-
vations taken, crops along the line of
the Iowa Central are going to be very
satisfactory this year. The outlook
believe, was never more promising
at this time of the year, although in
some places the corn is still small.
Mr.. Day also expressed himself as
being very mucn pleased at the physi-
cal condition of the road, as the result
of the work of improvement that has
been completed this season.

SATURDAY EVENING CROWD.
Largest Ever Seen in and Around the

The crowd in the city Saturday
evening, drawn together upon the oc-

Brigade band, was beyond question
the largest in the history of the city.
People and vehicles filled every avail
able foot of space in the park and the
business streets. The park was
crowded with hundreds upon hun
dreds of men, women and children.
The streets were filled with vehicles
on parade and the business houses OF
the city reported an unusually large
trade for the evening. Where all the
people came from is a mystery. A
large attendance was attracted from
the near by country and several OF
the neighboring towns, but even this
would not account for the throng OF
people about the park TIE band
played a most excellent concert dur
ing the evening and the great crowd
enjoyed the occasion to the fullest
extent.

The Threatened Trouble at Smoky
Hollow is Settled.

President White, of the United
Mine Workers, was in Avery yester-
day and succeeded in quieting the mis-
understanding that threatened to end
in a strike of about five hundred men
in the Smoky Hollow mines. For a
number of years the company has op-
Grated a work train from Avery to
the mines and it wished to discon-
tinue and work was suspended on
Saturday pending a settlement.
The Burlington has built a switch
to the mines and will hereafter han
die the coal, thus relieving the com
pany of pulling it to the switch. This
necessitated other changes from
which the misunderstanding arose.
A settlement was easily reached
and the mines are running as usual
today.

umpire with pair of gloves for the
part she took in the game.
Boone Republican: When Oska-
loosa plays here again only three or
the old men will be seen with the
team. Manager Donahue has done a
great work in strengthening the
Quakers.
N E. Salisbury made an offer of

plate in the doctors and lawyers
game The good fortune fell to the
lot of Will Jones, of the attorneys.
The umpires of the game were Dan
Kenner, Foxy Grandpa" of the
Royal Cafe fame, who oficiated on
balls and strikes, and Mrs. J. c. Will
liams, who was judge of the fielding.
Both of the umpires did their work

satisfaction.

last organization to enter the race
