REMINDER OF OTHER DAYS.
TWaterloo Reporter.1

Attention of people was called a
day or so ago to a load Of people who
came in to see the races, the particu-
lar thing about the party being that
one these days very seldom sees
farmer and his family come to town
in a lumber wagon. The party occu-
pned spring and board seats in old
fashioned style in an old lumber
wagon, and there we're just dozen in
the rig. The appearance of rig on
the street attracted the attention OF
many an old. timer who would have
thought nothing of It a few years back,
but at this time 1t furnished a topic
for conversation.
A Blackhawk county farmer driv-
ing to town and bringing his family
in an old lumber wagon 1s very unu-
sual sight now, for the reason that the
majority Of them own the best turn
outs in the country, and some have
been known to ride in automobiles.
Not many years ago when little err
rand was to be done in town, which
was usually from eight to twenty
miles away, the farmer had to lay his
plans days ahead to hake the trip,
take the hay rack of the wagon and
put on the box, hitch up two horses
and palt in half dozen seats to ac-
commodate those who wanted to go.
Today if the qrand is not too great
he steps to his telephone and In two
minutes time lets Merchant Smith
know all about it. If he wishes to go
to town, he and the good wife hitch up
.->eir private rig, usually the best that
money can buy, rubber tired, easy
springs and nice downy seat; Mary
and John hitch on theirs, and the
hired man does the same. They have
half dozen different roads by which
they can reach town, and there may
be half dozen different towns one as
near as the others. They stay as long
as they please in the city, and on ar
irving home the lady of the house
starts fire in the gas stove and in a
few minutes supper is ready. While
in the city, Farmer Jones visited the
bank, got his annual interest and or
dered trunk for Mary to pack her
clothes in when she starts to college
in the fall.
The appearance Of the lumber wagon
and its party on the street brought up
many hidden thoughts in the minds Of
some of the old settlers. and Nbf
they contrasted the difference OF the
times, all went content with things as
they are at the present time.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 5.-The fact
just came out that approximately $780,

appropriated by F. G. Bigelow, and by
his disposed of to innocent purchas-
ers. The Grand Rapids Edison Com
pany needed 100000 at one time and
as Bigelow was director of the COM
pany he advanced the loan thru his
bank. The Edison company gave lis
note for the loan and in addition gave
as collateral 100000 in bonds, which
were intended for the First National
bank here. The PACKAGE came, how
ever, addressed to F. G. Bigelow. as
president. Bigelow failed to turn these
bonds into the bank. Instead. 1T is
said, he sold the bonds on individual
account

but an artist in working out his plans

been so successfully covered UP in the
decorations that the effect in the SUI
preme court room Is very pleasing.
In answer to the criticism as to the
rabbits worked into the decorations on
the walls on the first floor it is claimed
by the artists that the public should
overlook the fact that the rabbit re-
sembles fox terrier; that the rabbit
is merely an incidental in the decora-

terial whether it looks like a rabbit or
some other animal.
