POETRY IN MACHINERY.
Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
q Fit Subject For Art.

Poetry and art have these many
years pictured the laborS of men and
women in the harvest field From
Ruth, the CLEANER, to AIillets Reaper"
we have read the long, melancholy sto-
ry OF the toilers gathering with crude,
wasteful, inhuman hand tools the crops
of the world that the nations might
have bread. Rightly understood, these
two women, living so far apart, are pa
thetic monuments to the astounding
stupidity that could permit such things
when, as we now see, by taking thought
a machine can release humanity from
such senseless labor. With singular
perversity artists have delighted to
paint pictures of foolish toll. Even now
the critics tell us that neither the NOW
er. the reaper, the thrashing machine
nor the sulky pillow is a fit subject for
picture.
Never was there greater blunder.
The glory and majesty of our mighty
harvests, won for the feeding of the
world with so little labor that the vast
wheatfelds seem lonely, the smoking
clouds of chaff and straw blown high
in the air from whirring thrashers, the
oiS"t Soip"AiSS VI HuSu anu uoIScS
marching to the horizon as the plows
turn side sweeps of sod to the sun, the
gang drills sowing mile long lacelike
threads over the brown earth where
springs the growing crop-these and a
hundred other scenes are fit themes for
any poet. In our fields are no sad null
titudes Of Ill paid, short lived peasants,
crushed and bent by the iniquity of the
sickle. Why sing the sad song Of the
reaper when grand. inspiring epic of
the harvesting machine awaits the poet

MOLINE MENTION.

Seriously Injured by Car.-Rushing
out of a saloon at the corner of Twelfth
street and Second avenue to jump on
car bound for Watertown, William
Nancy was struck by the trucks of the
car and seriously injured yesterday af-
ternoon. He was taken to the city
hospital, and while he is seriously in
jHred. he has a chance for recovery.
1t is evident that he had been drinking,
and while in the saloon he heard the
car approaching. He rushed out and
attempted 10 get across the tracks to
jump on the car on the other side, but
was a trife too slow and was struck.
The car which struck him was a fiat
car loaded with material for Deere &
Co. and was being pushed up by a
motor car. The fat car is much lighter
than Il regular motor car and jumped
the track. Nancy was picked up with
two broken limbs and possible serious
internal injuries.

NEW ENGLAND TAVERNS.
Rough and Ready Liquor Laws of II e
Early DAYS.

In the early settlement OF New Eng
land taverns We're found to be Il neces-
sity, and hence We're established b.
law. They We're usually under the sane
ton ana surveillance OF the town otti-
Gals, says Air. Hudson ia The History
of Concord. Mass" and these officials
had 20 grant. limit or revoke an inn
holders license. either as Il victuallei'
or Il seller of liquors
The keeper of the ordinary might be
deacon, Il military officer. civil Off
cial or deputy to the general court.
His house was Il convenient place for
convocations. important or unimpor-
tant, and there might be held in it a
parish meeting, military election, a
council of clergymen or an assessors
talk.
So important was the ordinary that
its affairs, such as the establishment of
prices, the limitation of patronage and
the quality and quantity of goods to
be sold, We're regulated by colonial law.
In order to discourage the use of
strong drink at these places it was en-
acted about 1854 by the colonial court
that not over penny Il quart should
be charged for all purchased out oe
mealtimeS. 1t was also ordered that
not more than penny drink should
lie charged for any beverage. This was
done to make the business of dramsell-
ing Improbable. At another time il
vas enacted by law that every inn
keeper should sell good beer, lest g.
traveller for want of it might purchase
wine.'
a law was passed at an early date
by which person appointed for the
purpose could join a drinking company
at a tavern and countermand any or
der made by any member of it for Il
drink i'll case he believed the member
was drinking too much, and he could
also direct how much liquor could be
drunk.
At one time no tavern keeper was al
lowed to permit guests to remain at
his house ''tippling in an idle way"
In 1864 Il penalty was enacted for rude
singing at inns, and the court also
undertook at one time to determine
how much Il man might drink without
being considered drunk.

FORMERLY MRS. BRYAN
And Lived in This City For
Awhile Last Year.

Evansville, Ind, June 9.-Mrs.
Bessie Maley, well-known in Nash
vile, has been granted divorce
from Chas. E. Maley, a well-known
lumber man of this city,
Last Monday Maley filed a suit for
divorce while Mrs. Maley, it is nn-
derstood, was in Nashville. She re-
turned here and entered a cross
complaint and was given the decree.
She was awarded $1,000 alimony, al
though she asked for $40, 900.
Mrs. Maley was formerly Miss
Bessie Remington, daughter of a
millionaire of Tacoma, Wash. Her
first husband was named Bryan, and
he is a telephone Inspector at Nash
vile. A year or so ago Bryan and
his wife spent the summer in Evans
vile, where Bryan had business with
the Cumberland Telephone Company.
Mrs. Bryan then met Maley for the
first time. She afterwards oh
tanned divorce from Bryan and
last November, at Columbus. Ind,
was secretly married to Maley. The
marriage was not made public I'M
til last month, when Maley and his
wife came to this city to reside.
The Maley family is one of the most
prominent in Southern Indiana and
is wealthy.
Mrs. Maley alleged in her cross
complaint that her husband was
cruel and inhuman to her, called her
vile names and often threatened her
with bodily harm. She also alleged
that he refused to let friends call at
the house to see her. Mrs. Maley's
sister from Tacoma, Wash, is here
and it is understood that Mrs. Maley
will go to Tacoma to make her fu-
ture home. She is beautiful wo-
man with brown eyes and a mass of
brown hair.
