NEW HOSE BOUGHT.
Fire Committee Makes Badly
Needed Investment.

Acting under a resolution adopted
at the recent meeting of the city
council, the Fire Department Com
mittee on Thursday purchased 1906
feet of new fire hose at 80 cents per
foot. Attachments were also bought
to the value of about $35. There were
present at the meeting of the COM
mittee representatives from five
different houses and the Committee
did some close trading. The present
hose, from long and hard service has
become very Indifferent and frequent
breaks seriously interfered with the
work of the department, The new
supply will be received within the
next thirty day.

INCREASED
Interest is Manifest at Meth
Odist Church Services.

Rev. P H. Davis is preaching to
a crowded house at the Methodist
church and there is a manifest in
crease in interest on the part of the
unconverted, and the Christians have
become aroused. While there is moth
ing approaching the coarse in Mr..
Davis, yet there is a great deal of
about him. His remarks
are pungent thoughtful and convinc-
ing, and he ALWAYS presents some
thing that puts his hearers to think
ing. The meetings are just fairly
begun and will continue through the
week and longer as DIR. Lyon
says no set time for closing was fix
ed when the meetings were arranged
for.

a critical condition for weeks, was
not supposed by his physician to be
in immediate danger of death yes

there is no reason for hoping for his

BIG SALE
OF TOBACCO
- ---
Over Sz5O,OOO Paid to the
Farmers by Mr.. Jarrett
In Past Few Weeks.
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Farmers Will Certainly Re-
ceive Good Prices For
Another Year

Farmers belonging to the Tobacco
Association must be lieving on
easy street" now. The patience
they have manifested and their con-
fdence in the men who have been
working so long to pull them out Of
the hole they have been in has met
with rich reward. They are now
the dictators as to prices, and start
out in the new year under the most
encouraging circumstances. Buoyed
up by their triumph over the trust.
they will be more loyal, if possible,
to the organization than ever.
Everything for 1906 seems to points
to a most successful year.
The wheat crop is reported as look
ing unusually fine, the tobacco grow
ers are carrying plethoric purses,
the aggregate individual indebted
ness of the county is probably low
er than for a quarter of a century,
and with the exception of heavy loss
of hogs from cholera by a few, the
outlook for another year of plenty
and prosperity was never more pro-
pitious.
Mr. Charles F. Jarrett, the county
salesman, has paid to the farmers of
this county over $25O,O0O in cool
cash for the tobacco that was put
under control of the Tobacco Assoc
citation. This has been done in the
past five weeks, and Mr.. Jarrett sees
great things for the Association in
the future. He ought to have, and
doubtless has, the lasting gratitude
and confidence Of the tobacco rails
ers, not only of his own county, but
everyone having anything to do with
tobacco. He has served the farmers
faithfully and never held out a hope
that his judgment did not lead him
to think would, under the new order
Of things, be realized. Mr.. Jarrett
says that the Association now has on
hand but three hogsheads
Of the weed and that will soon be
disposed Of, The sale of 900 hogs
he has already made this month has
been at most satisfactory prices and
probably before the first of Febru-
airy the whole stock will be closed out
at like good prices.
Everybody wishes the farmer a
year, and when the farm
pr prospers everybody shares it with

the streets have been repeatedly

MARCH OF THE MUCK RAKE.

The muck-rake subject goes march
ing on. The. poets have Maud Null
lerized it, the orators are Champ Clark
ing ii, painters are painting it, and
each day may bring forth the intrepid
vaudevillian with Everybody Works
the Muck Rake But Father" Out in
Kansas City recently the Hon. Jim
Ham Lewis talked muck rake to the
Knife and Fork Club until every full
1edged Missourian in attendance forgot
his Baedeker and ate with his fingers.
Prof Shaler Matthews of the University
of Chicago also talked in terms Of
muck rake President Carroll D.

of the controversy with speech at
Clark College, and the debate Of the
Knox College senior girls at Galesburg,
Ill, that night was the pro and con Of
raking. The country awaits with bat.
ed breath to hear from Ypsilanti, Mich,
and Biloxi, Miss. then it Is to be
hoped that we win have muck raking
enough. In the meantime, the original
status of the muck and the anti-muck
rakers remains unchanged Neither
line wavers. An analysis Of the con-
tents of the June magazines shows that
while the rakers employd by those en-
lighting organs of civilization, tooth
powder and predigested infant food,
are little less sensational In their
titles subtitles, and italicized predatory
notes, subnotes, interludes, afterlsdes
and advertising sections postscripts,
they have hidden the deadly fangs of
the rake under roses and buttercups,
only that its finished and effective
mission of destruction may be more
subtly and adroitly accomplished.
There is ahead Of us month of COM
nencenent oratory, I'm the midst Of
which, no doubt, the muck rake will
shine as the principal theme, Then
there are next falls debating societies,
the county fairs, and the country cam

there Is plenty of work to-day and

GEORGE cRIuKsHANK

| For my own part, 1 presently Stun
bled upon an old manil1in Of a crea-
ture, with thin, active legs, and a long.
queer visage adorned with sparse whis-
kers Of faded yellow; under his black
frock coat he wore yellow vest, and
light, striped pantaloons covered with
shrunken shanks. 1 had never before
seen the actual manfi and my acquain-
lance with his portraits had prepared
me for tall and portly gentleman
these Hkenesses having been heads
merely, which are apt to prove mislead-
ing in this respect. Nevertheless, no
sooner had | set eyes on him than l
recognized him; for he had drawn his
own portrait at full length a myriad
times; and there wis no installing that
headed, slinl-ibodied, elfin type, with
its touch of the grotesque, and it's pre-
ternatural nimbleness. If you have
ever studied a certain ancient edition
of Grimms Fairy Tales you have seen
this remarkable individual masquerad-
ing in scores of DISCUSSES from one illus
tration to another. In short, he could
have been none other than George
Cruibshank; and George Cruikshank,
accordingly he proved to be.
And what a man he was, to be sure!
He was born just before the storming
Of the Tuileries, in 1892; at this date, he
had been actively at work for full three
score years and ten, and was still as
Industrious as ever. The social, liter
airy, artistic political, and reform his
tory of the nineteenth century covered
the area Of his own experience. He
had caricatured Napoleon; he had pic
tured the passions of the Corn-law ag-
itation; he had dealt tremendous blows
at the drink evil, he had brought to the
familiar knowledge of innumerable
English and American children the fairy
tales of the Middle Ages; he had illus
trated Dickens and dozen other au-
thors; he had written books of his own,
and had started and edited periodicals
and behold! here he was, lively and
enterprising as ever, skipping to and
fro on Mr.. Bohn's lawn; and now paus-
ing for a few moments to give me good
advice.-Julian Hawthorn, in the At

KING EDWARD AS AN ART
CRITIC.

A writer in one of the Paris papers
was honored with an invitation to ac-
company his Majesty King Edward on
his recent visit to the two Paris salons,
the BeauX-Arts and the Artistes Fran
Gals. He was much struck; he writes,
by the Kings very real knowledge of
painting, and still more struck by the
absence of the banal In his remarks
about the pictures which were shown
to him. "One can see in minute"
says the writer, whether the King
llkese~a picture or not, If he does so
the mask of official urbanity drops i'm
mediately. He looks Art stright in the
face, and seriously, without saying a
word for a moment or two. Then he
expresses his admiration, and says
what he admires in the picture and his
judgment is a good deal better than
that of many members of the hanging
committee. But if, as often happens
a daub is shown him, the official smile
appears and the King says 'Charmingn
Then he passes on. There was one
observation-disclosures portrait to
which his attention was particularly
drawn by the minister of fine arts.
Charming! Altogether charming!
said his Majesty, And we all noticed"
the writer goes on to say, that, Ike
the majority of his compatriots, King
Edward VII. had a decided preference
for pictures with an anecdote or a
moral meaning. He stood for quite
considerable time in front of Les Reli-
gieuses expulees,' by Jean Beraud, and
we drew nearer, thinking he was
going to say something about it. But
he remembered that he was the King
of England, and must not talk politics,
just in time to disappoint us.''-st.
