AFTER THE OCTOPUS.
An Important Movement to Curb the
Mail Order Menace.

An Important Movement to Curb the
Mail Order Menace.
The following special dispatch to the
New York World from Sioux City, Ia,
explains in brief a new movement
| which is of vital interest to all local
merchants and likewise to all citizens
Of town and country:
An important mercantile movement
is now working in the northwest under
the name of the Berkeley system, which
numbers yer 1000 merchants and is
spreading rapidly.
The system, which has the backing
of the wholesalers in the principal
western jobbing centers, has as it's aim
the extinction of the mail order meth
cd of doing business, which has been
developing at such a rapid pace that
country retailers were rapidly losing
hope. The object is to so operate the
business of distribution that, while the
retailer still gets a goSd profit on his
wares, he sells them at not more than
the catalogue houses ask.
The Berkeley system merchants
league themselves together to adver-
tise comparatively in order to lessen
the expense and secure the benefit Of
expert and a unified advertising policy.
By cooperation, it is claimed, the cost
Of an effective advertising campaign,
which is a heavy burden for the indi-
vidual to carry, is reduced to a NOM
inal figure.
The system in carrying out this work
has undertaken to supply newspaper
and circular advertising to quote prices
to consumers, and many thousands Of
consumers are now receiving such adj
vertising at regular intervals.
Aside from the economic Importance
attaching to this new movement as a
means of securing permanent reduc-
lions in prices to consumers in the
hundreds of communities where the
organization is operating, it promises
o .greatly increase the Importance of
local centers, which in many instances
brought to light in the past few years
have been reduced to mere postofice
and railway stations, through which
the farmers transacted their mail Or
der business.

Beauty For American Towns.

A city or town is not built in a day
nor in a hundred years. The great
sight places of Europe have been slow
~ and laboriously wrought out by far
sighted men and are admirable only
after many centuries, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. But American cit
les have money and the experience Of
Europe to guide them, and now, with
the awakened instinct Of civic beauty
urging them on, they may accomplish
the wonders Of Paris and Berlin and
Vienna-possibly ever of Florence and
Rome-in a period short in comparison
with the term Of a city's life.

THE YULETIDE.

Where is now the merry party 1 beheld
here long ago
Gathered round the Xmas Preside
sparkling with its ruddy glow
Some have gone from us forever, longer
here they could not stay
They have gone to better regions
Far away.
Yet there are a few remaining that re-
mind me of the past
But they'll change, as all things %changeth,
no thing in this world can last
We are welli in health today, but tomorrow
who can say
Ere it %changeth. Far away.

ANDERSON CASE SETTLED
Rock Island Gives $500 90 To End
Litigation Over A Well Known
Audubon County Resident

ATLANTIC, Iowa, JUNE 22-Settle-
ment has been effected In the case of
Harry Anderson, administrator of the
estate of his father, Jack Anderson,
versus the Rock Island. The case was
one in which the plaintiff sued for the
death of Mr.. Anderson who was killed
by being struck by Rock Island train
east of the city while driving with
Walter Roberts, of this city, on Sep
TENDER 10, 1900. Anderson was killed
outright and Roberts suffered bruises
and other injuries. The case was tried
in the September term of court in 1908,
and the jury returned a verdict of So,
O00.0 90 for the plaintiff. Judge Thor
nell subsequently, granted new trial
on the grounds that the evidence tend
ed to show that the two men In the
buggy could in all reason have seen
the train approaching had they exer-
cised proper care and looked up the
track as they approached the crossing
in the buggy. The case has been pend
ing since then, and the settlement has
been in progress for some time. By
the terms of settlement the defendant
pays the plaintiff $500. 90 and each side
pays its own costs. DeLano and Mere
the plaintiff and Rock
afellow and Parish the Rock Island.

Baird And Seversike

According to invitations received by
some of the good friends of the groom
there was q wedding down at Cam
bridge, Iowa, on Tuesday, June %,
1907, in which one ofAudubon's young
business men took leading part. The
marriage took place at the home OF
Mrs. r. Seversike when her daughter,
Miss Sarah Seversike, was joined with
Mr.. Ira G. Baird, Of the firm OF Doak
and Baird, of this city. We noticed
last of the week when Mr.. Baird took
the train that he was looking and feel
ing exceptionally pleasant but did not
suspect the ause Of it until we heard
of the contemplated wedding. He is a
gentleman who is deserving Of help
meet of the best kind and character,
and we doubt not but he has secured
such in the lady he brings here as a
bride. They are expected here the last
of the week when they will receive a
cordial welcome.

The city OF Des Moines is now in the
hands of the reformers, or will be after
the election next spring, Instead of
having a city council chosen by wards,
they will elect mayor and four coun-
cilmen at large. The mayor will re-
ceive So, 10000 year and each of the
councilmen 100000 q year for his
services. Ordinances and resolutions
can be passed by majority vote of
the five members, the mayor having
the power to vote but not to veto. The
city government will be divided into
five departments, each member being
at the head of one department. No
franchise can be granted except by
vote of the people. Provision is made
for full publicity of all acts of the
council. The plan includes what is
known as the INITIATIVE, by which
the people can compel the passage of
needed legislation if refused by the
council; and of the REFERENDUM by
which they can reject an ordinance
passed by tho council; and of the
RECALL, by which they can GUST a
member of the council who does not
represent the people. II is hoped that
the change will be for the better. The
fact is they could hardly make a
change that would not be some inn
provement. Yet at the present time
they have a splendid man for mayor
who does as we'll as anybody could
under the present system. We notice
that Harry E. Sampson has been maxi
ing campaign in favor OF the new
plan the last three weeks and that his
partner, after being sent to Texas to
investigate its workings in five cities
that havetried it, was placed incharge
of the campaign.

Stahl proposes, for the next few Sun
day evenings, to preach funeral SER
mons, minus the corpse. In these SER
mons he will feel free to say many
thugs he could not say at areal fune-
raj, out of regard for friends. Among
the funeral sermons planned are those
OF a moralist, miser, swearer a

All these various kinds of people are
invited to be present and hear their
own funeral preached. The first, in
the order named, will be preached on
next Sunday evening.

HEBER ]. GRANT SPEAKS
Apostle Delivers Principal Address at
Quarterly Conference of
Salt Lake Stake.

Heber ]. Grant was the principal speak
er at the tabernacle yesterday afternoon
at the quarterly conference of Salt Lake
stake. Nephi L. Morris, stake president,
presided and an address was also deliv-
cred by Elias Woodruff Meetings were
also held in the morning and evening in
the assembly hall. and were addressed
by those prominent In stake work.
Apostle Grant told his hearers that they
should not be satisfied with believing in
the truth of the everlasting gospel ds
taught by the prophet Joseph Smith, but
that they should follow the command
ments as well, in order to obtain saliva
ton. He announced the doctrine that be
lievlng alone is not sufficient to make a
perfect man, but that actions in this in
stance speak louder than words.
Apostle Grant said that many high in the
church, because of failure to obey the
commandments, had fallen from their
lofty station and that II was justly SO.
He commented at length on the duty of
every member of the church to pay tith-
ing and told of his own efforts in this
direction.
"A man should make sacrifices for his
God" said Apostle Grant. and in this
connection he detailed the sacrifices he
had made by leaving his business and
going into strange lands to preach the
gospel
The cardinal virtues he announced as
punctuality and perseverance, and went
at length into the discussion of them as
rejecting a Christian life.
