His touching modesty-one of the most beautiful traits in his character would not allow him to bask in the sunshine of popular favor.

He cared but little for riches and worldly goods. His leisure was given to art, above all to music. and if there was any other thing particularly dear to his heart it was the interest of his German kindred, who had come before him and after him In hundreds of thousands and made their abodes here, had become citizens of our great Re public, always eager to return q heip full service for their hospitable recep tion on these shores.
 Tt is therefore but natural that the Germans and their descendants. now gathered around this monument. feel anew and 4eplore again the full extent of the loss they sustained in the death of Gen.

ST. LOUIS AZ, ARKANSAS 6.
University Foot Ball Team Gets
 Walloped Plenty.

St. Louis, Oct. With only two substitutions during the en- tire game, the light but plucky and well-conditioued Arkausss University football eleven was defeated here today by the St. Louis University team, 42 to G, the local varsity scoring ' touch downs, and Acker kicking seven goals therefrom. Arkansas made its single touchdown in the first half, after only nine seconds had elapsed.
 Acker kicked off to Nelson, who ran the ball back to Arkansas S0-yard line. Arkansas at once successfully attempted the for ward pass. Nelson threw the ball to Dixon, who eluded the varsity tackleTs and ran 80 yards for a touchdown, from which Fleming kicked goal.
 Arkansas succeeded in holding four down ou their 10-yard line no less than five times during the game, but never threatened the St. Louis line after the first score. Good tackling on the part of the Arkansas back field and ends prevented several scores.

New York, Oct 20.-The dedication and unveiling of the statue of Gen Franz Sigel at Riverside Drive and 106th street Saturday afternoon ant made the occasion for an imposing military and civic parade in which over 10000 men participated. Gen Steward l.. Woodford, chairman o. the monument committee, presided. The oration in English was by Gov Hughes. An address in German by Herman Ridder was feature of the exercises. MT. Ridder spoke in part as follows:
 My most distinguished Gen. Wood ford, ladies and gentlemen: In sight of this imposing monument, solemnly unveiled before your eyes. 1t is alto gether fitting that of the speakers or this occasion a voice should be found for some words of tributs in the Ger man tongue. Let it be remembered that the man in whose honor we have reared lhis splendid statue was of Ger man kith and kin, German in thought
 
 like the rest of us. had been absorbed by the allpervading genius of Ameri canism, he nevertheless owed the honors and dignities which the coun try of his adoption Lad bestowed upon him to certain peculiarly German traits in his character. Possessed oi a thorough German education, par ticularly trained in the science of wal and strategy, his services were of es pecial value to the country at time when such advantages were sorely needed and but rarely found. With the burning enthusiasm of German fighter for liberty, Franz Sigel devoted all his talents, in fact his whole being to the cause of his new home. which in spite of many disappointments he had learned to love dearly.
 Speakers well fitted for the task have detailed to you the deeds and labors which constitute Gen. Sigefs claim on the gratitude of his country

COLE BROS. SHOW.
Big Circus Takes the Towu-Draws Large Crowds-Regular Perform
 aree Tonight.

S@SS AVMBubs
 The circus, Cole Bros.' Circus, arrived Tuesday and to witness it there came to the city dele. gations for many miles around. The streets are crowded with town and country folk-men. women, boys and girls-all bent on having a good time.
 l The free exhibition at the show grounds, just after the fore noon parade, was witnessed by a great throug, but that was only part of the crowd which gath. cred in the streets to witness the parade which started from the grounds at 11:30 o'clock and which passed through the down. town streets back to the grounds. That afternoon the big show tents are filled with big crowd. Everything promises we'll for a good gathering at the night ex- hibition. After all, the most spectacular feature of any circus in the parade were the fine horses, excellent bands, big elephants and camels and, cutest of all, a baby camel.
 The circus arrived in this city from Fort Smith that morning. The hour of arrival, ' o'clock, there was good bunch of boys and men on hand to watch the work of unloading.
 A visit to the circus after the tents were up and before the parade started gave Star man an opportunity to see some of the animals and to learn few facts about them. The baby camel "Erie" which made such hit ir the parade, was born in Erie, Pa. 5 months ago. There are a pair of Royal Bengal tigers' handsome animals, which cost the Coles $7, 800. There is tail less leopard which was not borr that way but which had dif ference of opinion with another leopard few days ago and Jus Host her tail.

THE LAND OF THE
 BIG RED APPLE
Crop Of Benton, Washington and Madi. son Counties lntimated to Be Worth This Year More than
 $3,000. .000.

Nogers, Oct. With prices for their product three times as nigh as year ago, and a crop only slightly below the average, the apple growing counties of northwest Arkansas are in the midst of one of the greatest sea- sons in their history. There is nothing but joy in tho land of the big red apple today, for a season such as the present one means unequaled prosperity for the farmers, the business men and every other class of citizen in northwest Arkansas.
 Conservative estimates place the total value of the apple crop in Benton, Washington and Madi- son counties this year at 3,OOO,. 900. Less conservative estimates run as high as $4, 1000, 900.
 These three counties comprise the great apple growing district of northwest Arkansas. Benton county ranks first, Washington county second and Madison county third. The crop in Madi- son county is marketed through shipping points in Benton and Washington counties, and for that reason au accurate estimate of the crop is more difficult to secure.
 The most conservative fruit growers and shippers estimate the total value of the apple crop to the growers in Benton county this year to be about $1, 800, 900. The crop in Washington county this year, as estimated by con- servative men in that county, is worth more than $1,000, 900 to the growers of that county. The crop in Madison county, 1t is estimated, will easily bring the total value of the crop in these three counties to more that $3,- 900, 900.
 This great sum represents the value of the apple crop alone, and in some parts of the section great quantities of other fruits are raised. More than 160 cars of strawberries were shipped from Washington county this year. These berries brought at least $l, 200 a car. The strawberry crop alone, 1t is estimated, put $200, 900 into the pockets of the growers in Washington county. The peach crop was not as large this year as usual, but it brought the farmers of Washington county more than $5O,0 ,000. Rogers shipped 72 cars of peaches this easou, as we'll as several carloads of strawberries. Washington county raises more strawberries than Benton county. There are some strawberries raised in the vici yof Rogers, but few are found in the western part of the county.
 The apple is supreme in Ben- ton county, and it easily holds first place in Washington county, | regardless of the large shipments of other fruits.
