Miss TarbeII's Sketch of Rookie.
Teller

There is no end to what has been
written about John D. Rockefeller,
yet no man so long before the public
eye has so effectually escaped real
publicity. Miss Tarbells article in
the July McClure's presents for the
first time with all the calm fairness
of the trained historian the traits
and tastes and habits by which the
man is to be judged. His %antecedents
his training, the life he has lived, all
that has made him what he is, or
helps to an understanding Of the
things he has done are examined,
weighed, and analysed sanely and
with authority. 1t is all told vigor-
ously but always temporarily. The
skeleton-closet is opened but the
bones are not disturbed. The story
of R~ockefeller's origin is told because
it is essential to our understanding
OF the Oil Kings nature, the profit
gate father had as much to do with
the forming of his sons character as
that other figure in Miss Tarbell's
story, Rockefeller's good mother.
But it is the Significance Of the;grown
mans work with which Miss Tarbell
is most concerned, and no one knows
it better.
''By what qualities did he grow to
such power? Does he give to the
public whence he has drawn his
wealth a just return in ideas, in pa
triotism, in social betterment, in
generous living, in inspiring personal
characters: Has John ID. Rockefeller
made good?" These are the questions
Miss Tarbell sets out to answer.
"From time immemorial," she says,
linen who have risen to power have
had to face this question. Kings, ty-

sas report, and it is the cause Of yields
here that must prove disappointing,
Apples and plums

People who are so fortunate as to
have orchards in the Northwest will
again be blessed with y good yield of
fruit. Trees bore SC heavily last year
that it was expected this would be
an of year and a slight crop was an
ticipated. But trees are again we'll
loaded. The time is not far off when
Brown county farmers will be raising
all the apples they need, as the farm
ers are even now doing in the south
part Of the state. There is no valid
excuse for not having abundance OF
good plums or every farm. They are
so easy to raise. The same is true OF
currants and strawberries. Set the
dog on the tree peddler and order

ated as to keep hired men in the
family, ornwho have only small child
rem to help them, or who wish to give
their boys and girls all the time pos
sible in good schools, have found that
mutton growing could take the place
of the COWS with no detriment to the
farm, and at the same time reduce
the labor many times. Others are
isolated from creameries, and, wish
to give their wives and daughters
more time to themselves than home
dairying would permit, have found
that mutton growing and finishing
brings them in as much or more pro.
fit with much less hours of labor"

Bessemer. September 10-(Special.)- 1.-The polls for the election of mayor and eight aldermen for the city of Bessemer will open tomorrow morning at o'clock and will remain open until o'clock in the afternoon.
 The lection is expected to be quiet, as there is no opposition to the democratic candidates for the council. J. J. Sullivan, the democratic candidate for mayor is opposed by J. E. Riser of the socialist party. but there has been but little in- terest in the campaign.
 The present council will meet Tuesday night at the city hall to canvass and de- clare the vote. The new officials will also be sworn in, and will take charge of their official duties.
 More interest is being taken in the minor offices to be filled by the new coun- cil than in the result of tomorrow's elec- ton.
 Eight policemen are to be elected, and it is understood that a number of appli- cants will go before the board asking to be placed on the force. It is rumored that only two of the present members will ask for reelection, while several new appli- cations will be filed.
 Several other small offices are to be filled by the board, and there may be sev- eral interesting contests.
