America: Henry D. Thoreau, John Bur roughs and William H. Gibson.
 The most interesting phase of this talk was the speakers discussion of the Roose- velt-Long controversy. He said that from the standpoint of the real student of nature neither was correct Laying aside the question of veracity what MT Long wrote i5 too far removed from the sphere of the nature amateur Likewise is wrong the attitude of MT. Roosevelt, thirsting for the blood of beasts. What the nature lover of Alabama. for instance, wants to know Is not what a Maine moose or Rocky Mountain billygoat does but the habit Of things about him. Dr. Blgelow said also that the nature works of John Burroughs are faulty in that he idealzed too much.
 For pedagogy the following books were recommended; "The Nature judy Idea. :" Bailey; Mature judy and Life Hodge; How Nature Study Should be Taught" and The Spirit of Nature Study" Bige- low.

There are no berry hucksters on the streets this year. Heretofore there was a small army of dusky pickers at ones door every morning, asking, Do you want to buy any berries?' The blackberry crop this season Is most abundant and the per- ries are fine, but not a single pickannny offers them for sale The reason doubtless is that labor is so very scarce that every available hand, big, little. old and young, is engaged in the fields, or that the Afro Americans have grown too chesty to ped dle berries.

PREPARE FOR FAIR VISITORS

Not the least remarkable thing about
the Marshall county fair next week
will be the wonderful showing of
goods in the stores uptown. For
weeks the preparations have been un-
der way, and it will be the occasion of
the opening of the fall business with
practically every merchant in the
city.
A visit to the stores reveals stocks
of merchandise that would be a credit
to any city of four times our size.
Many of the merchants have already
made their fall announcements, and
others will do SO. They have bought
heavily, ana what is more, they have
bought the best Numbers of them
have spent weeks in the jobbing CEN
tiers selecting their stock. The an
nouncements have been of unusual in
terest, because they reflect the desire
of the merchants to make every Wis
itor to the city next week. feel that
everything that can be done has been
done to please
A visitor to the Des Moines stores
during the state fair returned with the
statement that just as fine selection
could be had in any line in this city,

and that prices were more reasonable
and the average quality better here
than at Des Moines.
Travelling men who know state that
the cost of living is cheaper here than
elsewhere, which is creditable to- the
fairness and honesty of our business
men. Every stranger in the city next
week will be assured of fine treatment
at the hands of our merchants.
Not only have the merchants pre-
pared to offer the best inducements
for visitors to buy, but they have also
prepared for their comfort as we'll
Rest rooms have been provided in
most of the stores, arrangements to
take care Of parcels and packages
made, and cordial welcome is ex-
tended to make use of all the facilities
at their command.
Not all of this is for the money
there is in it. Naturally that is the
primary interest, but back of it all is
a pride in the city and desire to ex-
tend the glad hand and to make every
stranger thrice welcome to MARSHALL
town next week. to make them SO well
come that they will want to return
again and again.

lar prices the article they want. This
is especially true of pianos and has
been amply demonstrated by the fac
tory Representatives of the Kimball
Piano Company who recently took
charge of the George H Redel stock
at the ware room, corner of Main and
First streets OF course the reputation
of the Kimban piano has made it one
of the easiest pianos to sell on the
market today, because it is an instru-
ment that is high class in every way
and has been tried and pronounced by
expert musicians as the equal in tone
qualities and in every other way to
any piano built, and it sells for very
reasonable price, quality considered, in
the regular way.
A sale like the one which the fac
tory representatives are conducting,
however, makes the opportunity very
attractive indeed. For instance, the
price is fully 40 per cent discount from
regular prices. Then too, they sell
these pianos in the regular way, that
is, they do not require all cash, but
make easy terms, so that almost any
one who is honest and really DESTROYS
of possessing fine instrument is able
to take advantage of the opportunity.
They are doing it too, and out of the
large number of pianos placed on sale
between fourteen and twenty have been
disposed of in the last few days. a
number of people who had the purchase
of piano in prospect within the next
two years have taken advantage Of this
sale. The result is some little folks
who arc hardly old enough to haCip
their musical education are now pos
SCISSORS of fine instruments. The rep
resentatives of the factory will be here
tomorrow and all next week and expect
to close out every instrument. We be-
lieve there never before was such an
opportunity offered to the people of
