time enjoying the most healthful
business boom in its history, which
is attributed largely to the efforts
Of it's business mems organization,
known as the Progressive league.
Tho town was for years an import
ant lumber town, but had become
rather dead-a sort of has BEEN
town-until six business men formed
what is called Progressive league.
They assessed every business man
in the city certain sum per month
for two years, the money to be used
by the committee for the good of
the town. No one was allowed to
ask any questions or to say what
the committee should do with the
money thus raised. They secured
in this way about $4,000 year and
the results are a large beet sugar
factory; three good shoe factories,
one Of which employees 400 people
and makes 1000 pairs of shoes day;
a glove factory; large canning
factory and several other new en-
terprises. All these evidences Of
prosperity are the direct result Of
the efforts of the original committee
of six, backed by the subscriptions
of all live business men.
Mrs. Albert Shaal was the sub
iect of sensational articles in the
dailies of Dubuque and other cities
this week on account of her trip
from Oklahoma to Dubuque, attired
in the garb of little girl in her
teens in order to secure half-fare
rate on the railroads. Mrs. Shaal
was formerly Grant county school
ma'am and resided with her parents
in the township OF Cassville. The
people still live there and she was
on her road to the old home for
visit in taking the trip referred to.
She wore short dress and had the
appearance of girl 10 or II years
of age. She came all the way from
Oklahoma on a half fare ticket,
making the statement at the start
ing point that she was only II years
of age, and a half fare ticket was
issued to her. Several of the con-
ductors with whom she rode were
suspicious They did not believe,
even if she did wear a short dress,
that she was only eleven years old;
they looked at her askance, but
there was only one who said any
thing to her; and although she did
not succeed in convincing him that
she was only eleven years on earth,
still he did not question her any
further on the age question, know
ing from experience that women
would rather discuss any subject
other than that of their age. She
smiled on the questioning con-
ductor in such an arch way that he
did not have the heart to say any
thing further to her.. She had
child's half fare ticket and there
was nothing for him to do except to
take her word for it that she was
only eleven. At Dubuque she
stayed at hotel over night and in
the morning donned her woman's
clothes and after breakfast, took the
Burlington train for Cassville.

How bewitchingly call the
autumnal voices How softly lies
the blue or purple haze upon the
denuded harvest field! The plow-
boy whistles a tune down the up
land glade as he urges his nags
across the stubble. The plump
quail scoots along the highway
ahead Of your driver or rising in
buzzing fight shoots down among
the tasseled corn, where red and
yellow pumpkins make you think
of the good delicacies mother used
to make. The leaves whispering in
the groves and orchards are just
taking on the first tints of their
final demise, and the grasses and
weeds of late summer are in flower.
At such time we have many days
which enrich the joys of life. There
is commingling OF mild splendors
and the behests Of labor, the breezes
carry alike the scents of autumns
ripening foliage and the pungent
odor of the burning wood of the
threshing steamer.
"A matter of 50 a mouth in
wages is very small thing in the
pay of the hired man on the farm
if he is the right sort Of hand.
The careful. thoughtful hand may
easily save his employer ten times
this amount in the care of machinery
and stock. There is not enough
difference made in the wages of
farm hands-the scads, the lazy,
the shiftless, the careless, getting
always too much and the best men
not enough.
A new labor field is opening.
Eight thousand cotton pickers are
wanted in Oklahoma. The colored
man is not there to take up his old

work appeals to the Italians, many

in these cotton fields. Good place

To Prevent Further Explosions.

The Court Of Inquiry appointed to In.

smokeless powder. The officers and
crew Of the Missouri not only are re.
lieved from all responsibility for the &C.

learned that change in the form in
which smokeless powder is now made
in the navy has been determined on,
and that hereafter it will be produced
in sticks with hole through the center.
This new form. it Is believed. will de.
crease the danger Of explosions caused

Did Not Need a Nerve Tonic.

At the meeting of the Nevada State
Medical Board at Carson City last week,
one of the visiting physicians told the
following story: A patient called at
his Office, stated his ills, and the doctor
wrote out prescription and handed il
to him. The patient inquired the prob.
able cost of getting it filed and was
told about so cents would pay the bill.
The patient then asked for the loan OF
the so cents. The doctor, scratching
his head drew a line through several
items of the prescription and handed it
back to the patient. saying: "Now you
can get it filed for a dime. Those ]
scratched out were for your nerves
but ! see you don't need anything for
them. Carson News.

Merely Mctter of S$&S and Cents.
The action of the Democratic State
Central Committee in naming delegates
to the National Convention was per-
fectly legal 1t was decided upon after
lengthy consideration, not through a
desire to usurp authority. but merely as
matter Of expediency and economy.
One Of three things had to be done.
FIRST. there must be two Conventions
held, one to elect delegates, and the
other to nominate the candidates. With
only few possible exceptions. it was
believed that Convention to elect dele
gates would consist of the same persons
who were in attendance at the Commit
tee meeting, and who. in person or by
proxy, represented every section Of the
State.
The second course considered was to
hold but one Convention and name dele
gates and candidates at the same time.
This. 1t was thought, would make too
long q campaign for the candidates,
keeping them under expense and in the
focus of the enemy's fire for about six
months.
The third course open was for the
Committee to name the delegates and
call late Summer Convention to nomi.
nate the candidates. This seemed the
simplest and. upon the whole. the best.
and that plan of action was adopted
