AsTOR'S IDEA OF FARMING.

From the Boston Transcript
John Jacob Aston thus forecasts in
Golfers Weekly the homely service
of the automobile. The farmer whose
horses have plowed all day, and who,
with his family, naturally needs rec
reation when the work is done. will
invoke his automobile that, as a sta
tionary engine may have been cutting
feed. saving wood, or what not, switch
the motive power to the driving
wheels, and with a joyful all aboard
be off to the nearest town, though ii
may be miles away" Evidently what
John Jacob doesn't know about farm
ing isn't worth telling.

Dawson scored two in the third and
two in the seventh, while the one run
chalked for Buena Vista was made in
the eighth inning. The batteries were
Melton and Geise for Dawson and
Burt and Clements for Buena Vista.
The third game of the series was

In the second inning Dawson scored
one run, while the visitors had nothing
to their credit until the eighth, when
they succeeded in bringing man
home. Another run for them in the
ninth meant defeat for Dawson. The
two pitchers Bishop, for Dawson and
Belk for Buena Vista, did excellent
work and had able back stops in Geise

WHAT WILL COUNCIL DO?
NOW CONSIDERING MATTER OF
WATERWORKS SETTLEMENT.
1t Seems Probable That Offer OF $780,
600 VIII BE Made for Purchase
and Adjustment of All Claims.

AS The News goes to press the coun-
Gil. in regular monthly session, is
considering the settlement of the water
works matter What conclusion they
will reach cannot be predicted.
The waterworks company has sub
mitted proposition to accept $50, 600
for the purchase of the plant and full
settlement of all rentals. this amount
to be paid after an election for bonds
and their subsequent issuance.
The council committee, appointed by
the mayor to confer with the water
works people has recommended that
$50, O00 be paid the company as pur-
chase money and settlement of all
claims for the past use Of water.
Their report was rendered to the cOun-
Gil at a called meeting some time ago.
but no action was taken on it.
While no forecast of the outcome of
the councils deliberations this after
noon can be made, there seems to be a
sentiment among the majority of the
members of that body to settle upon
the S35, 900 proposition. And if this is
done, it will then remain to be seen
whether the waterworks company will
accept this offer and whether the
voters of the city will signify their
consent to the councils action.

of cotton July % to have been II, as
as compared with 77.2 on May % 1905;
IS on June %, 1904; Ill at the CORES

'The longer | live" observed the
cashier of bank downtown, 1.-THE more

Here is case in point" he continued,
referring to a. letter he just had re-
ceived. "A few weeks ago l had two
callers in my Office, one an excitable
elderly man. big depOsitor. and the
other the president of a manufacturing
concern and the writer of this letter.
This manufacturer left. and soon aft
erward the excitable man discovered
that some one had taken his hat. He
stormed about the place until one Of
the clerks suggested that perhaps the
manufacturer had taken it by mistake.
The excitable man demanded his ad-
dress and started out to hunt him down
and give him "a piece of his mind.
'The other day read a letter from
the manufacturing concern and was
astOnished to see among the names of
its officers that of my excitable caller
as vice president My curiosity was
aroused, and | made some INQUIRIES.
Now | learn that the excitable man
was so pleasantly received when he
called for his hat that his anger cooled
at once. Then he got to talking about
the manufacturers business and the
money he was making. A few days
later he invested heavily in the con-
Germ and was elected its vice president.
And all because of that little mistake
about hat."-New York Press.
